Chapter Nine
He'd started to carry her back to Botan's apartment but when he got to her street she'd already fallen asleep and was clinging to him. Deciding Botan would whack him over the head with a large object for breaking into her house he started toward his own.
Gently he set her in his bed and leaned against the wall, just watching her sleep. Her hands clutched at his black sheets and her head lay against his soft black pillows.
Hiei's eyes snapped to the door, he'd heard a noise outside of it and Kurama slowly walked in to stand by his side.
"You saved her."
"No Kurama, that's just the image I sleep with." Hiei said sarcastically and Kurama gave him a piercing glare. "Yes, I saved her."
Kurama stepped to the bed quietly. He gently touched her shoulder. "Baby sister, wake up." Hiei's eyes widened as she sat up instantly, her eyes still somewhat closed.
"Brother? What... what's going on?" She rubbed at her eye with her fist.
"Your sleeping in all your clothes, I thought you might want to change, so you could be more comfortable. Then I'll gladly let you go back to sleep." She took the hand he offered and they left the room.
Hiei figured Kurama just didn't want his baby sister sleeping in his bed and sighed. He stripped down to his boxers and was all ready to get into bed when a knock came at his door. Standing in the doorframe was Adreana, in a form fitting ruby nightgown. Freezing up completely she walked into the room and stood next to him for a moment, looking bewildered.
"Um, Brother said I could go back to sleeping in here..." Hiei's eyes widened again but moved so she could get in the bed then slid under the covers beside her. She moved closer and set her head on his chest while his arms slowly wrapped around her waist.
"You saved me." Her voice was so soft he barely heard it. Wrapping his arms tighter around her he rested his head on top of hers.
"Yes."
"Thank you." She moved her head she he was forced to do the same and she looked into his eyes. "You didn't have to... but you did." Gently she pressed a soft kiss against his cheek. "You have my gratitude." Hiei felt his heart slam against his rib cage.
"Adreana, you still haven't told me what you were doing in that place." He reminded her. The moonlight fell on her face from his window showing her sad expression.
"Good night Hiei."
"Adreana..." He stopped himself. "Good night." She rested her head right above his heart and drifted to sleep.

Kurama leaned against his door. Adreana and Hiei... he never thought... they're in love. But that wasn't what he wanted to think about.
"Botan..." He ran his hands through his hair, why oh why was she always on his mind? But hadn't his sister said she loved him too? Kurama could've screamed at all the thoughts that ran through his head. Shoving off the wall that he was leaning against he grabbed his coat. Only one way to find out.

Botan sat on a stool in her tiny kitchen, drinking hot chocolate miserably. Adreana could be badly hurt and here she was, drinking hot chocolate. Frustrated she slammed the mug in the sink, breaking it. "Oh great job Botan, now you have to pick up the pieces..."
A soft click was heard from her doorway and she froze. Footsteps were coming in this direction. Quickly she lifted the hot chocolate box above her head, ready to smash it in the intruder's face.
BAM! With deadly aim she had hit the person smack in the face.
"Botan! What the! Do you throw boxes of hot chocolate at everyone? Or is it a special treat reserved just for me?" Kurama said rubbing the spot on his face where the corner of the box had struck.
"Kurama! I'm sorry but to be fair you did sneak into my house. (A/N: For real!) Have you heard any news of Adreana?" She demanded pushing out a stool for him to sit on.
"Yes, she's resting peacefully in Hiei's bed, right next to him." Kurama said settling himself on the chair while Botan's eyes got wide.
"Aww, he's just a uh, softy... well to her anyway." Rolling her eyes she eyed him. "Not that I'm complaining about you being here, but why didn't you just call?"
He shifted uncomfortably on the stool. "That's not really what I came here to talk to you about..."
She cocked her head to the side, "Then what did you come here to say?" 'Oh no, please Kurama, don't do this to me... it hurts,'
"Well uh... see... I wanted to admit something..."
"What?" 'It cannot be good for my heart to beat so rapidly...'
"I uh, wanted to say, er this-" Leaning forward he kissed her smack on the lips and she felt her heart jump into her throat. "And that I've fallen in love with you Botan and I don't plan to fall out any time soon."
"Eeep!" She exclaimed falling off her stool in shock but he caught her mid way. "Kurama! I love you too!" Botan happily threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly.
