Voices....so many voices...in my head....
Botan slowly opened her eyes; her head was swirling with voices, thoughts, and memories. "She's awake." a voice said. Then footsteps...
Botan watched as her bed was surrounded by people, most of then she never even seen before. Her eyes drifted on every single person, landing on a certain black and white starburst haired man. Yusuke was the first to talk. "Feeling alright?"
Botan lifted herself way too fast, her arms where shooting with pain. Her head landed with a soft thud, making her dizzy. A few people gasped.
"I think that meant no." A man said. Botan tried again, and failed so she stayed where she was.
"Are you alright?" Keiko asked. Botan nodded.
"Of course." she said. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Everyone shot glares at Koenma, who was backing up slowly. "Koenma here 'accidentally' dropped you a few times." Yusuke answered, giving Koenma his death glare.
"I told him." Puu said, crossly. She was sitting on Botan's pillows. Botan closed her eyes.
"Thank you Genkai." Botan said. Puu gave some kind of low grunt. "So, who are you all?" Botan waved her hands at the people.
"These people are either healers or fans or Koenma's servants." Kurama said. Quite a few for them where placing cards and flowers on her bedside. Botan held her head. Koenma started to make the people exit, few of them where still shooting him glares or bumping into him. Once they all exit, only Botan and the team were left.
"We won." Kuwabara said proudly. "Defeated Tuguro."
Botan smiled. "That's nice."
Yusuke nodded. "All thanks to you." Everyone was nodding at this. There was a silence after that. The door opened again and a healer came inside, frowning.
"Excuse me, Ms..."
"Put me under Jaganshi." Botan said, her eyes closed. All eyes turned to Hiei, who looked shocked. The healers seem to not have noticed.
"Right. Ms.Jaganshi, we'll need to re-bandage your injuries." She said. Keiko, Yukina, and Shizuru left quickly. The others watched as Botan's leg was revealed. Yusuke gave some odd strangling noise and left with Kuwabara and Kurama. Botan waited until they cover it up to talk to Hiei. Hiei was staring at her for quite some while before he spoke.
"Hn." Botan smiled.
"Hi to you too." Hiei folded his arms, a smirk playing on his face.
"I see you're not dead."
"I see you're not either."
"I told you it won't happen."
"Because of me." Botan finished. Hiei nodded. Botan lifted herself up so she could see him better. "Are you happy now?"
Hiei looked at her. Botan continued. "Are you happy for me?"
"For killing him?"
"Are you happy for yourself?"
"For being beaten?"
"Are you happy for us?"
Pause.
"Yes." Hiei finally said. "I'm happy for us."
"What about yourself?"
"Hn."
"What about me?"
"Yes."
"Do you care for me every single second?" Hiei didn't answer. He was looking at the floor. There was rustling and footsteps. Hiei looked up. Botan was walking slowly to him, face screwed in pain. Hiei watched as she made her way to him. Just a few feet from him she tripped, prepared to fall, until she fell into a pair of arms. Her eyes landed on his crimson ones. "Yes." Hiei said quietly. Botan curled up in his arms.
"Yeah," Botan whispered. "Me too."
Hiei sat down on her bed, Botan still in his arms.
"Love." Botan said.
"Hn?"
"Love, it's a strong word." Botan said. Hiei felt her breathing change; she had fallen asleep at those words.
"You wanna know who I fell in love with." Hiei asked her.
"Hmm..."
"You. I, Hiei Jaganshi, fell for Botan, the baka onna." Hiei felt a pinch on his leg, he grinned. In his arms, Botan was smiling also.
She also fell for someone. Genkai's student fell for the best man a girl a can have. A caring one.
