Long time again! NO excuses today. Alright, it's probably been such a long time, you forgot the whole story! Quick run through.
Botan became a fighter for Genkai when she died since she was the second student under Genkai's training. She starts to grow feelings for Hiei, who is also growing fond of her. The only problem is, she became cursed from her old living life. She can't love anyone or strange things will happen to her. She tracked down the person whole gave her the curse with Hiei, and there bond grew stronger and Botan was lifted of the curse. Botan faced the shape shifting Indako and was able to beat him, but found out he shape shifted into a mirror force so she won't be able to get out. Juri announced that Tuguro will be fighting Botan. Breaking a lot of tournament rules and blowing up most of the stadium, Botan overcame Tuguro and was hospitalized. Hiei and Botan finally confessed there love for each other and now they are up against a new tournament and stuck with Botan's husband, 7 other teammates, and two other groups, who wants to kill everyone related to a certain teammate. Can Hiei and Botan ever find some alone time together?
In the last chapter.
Everyone in the Urameshi and Owari team found out that Spirits brother is Daisuke. Spirit finally faces that her brother is a criminal.

"You know, we never have any alone time anymore." Botan said, curling into a ball on the couch. Hiei was lying on the floor, looking up.
"Hn." Botan took that for a yes and continued.
"With this whole tournament and Spirit's problem."
"And the constant annoyance of him." Hiei added. Botan nodded. Tenshi followed them around when they where together, sulking or talking about other matters. Even if they manage to be alone with out Tenshi, Spirit or another team-mate always had something to tell them. Frankly, Botan and annoyed and Hiei was angry.
Botan smiled. "But there is always after the tournament."
"Was that suppose to make me happy?" Botan frowned.
"Okay, you can always come up with an idea." Hiei moved on the couch, placing his arms around Botan.
"Let's kill them all." He whispered. Botan closed her eyes.
"Very tempting, but no." Botan leaned in for a kiss, until Mai opened the door and along trudged in six other people. Botan sigh and Hiei growled, both of them sitting up. Tenshi was the first to notice them.
"Hey! Just the two people we were looking for."
"Two people from Daisuke's team are here to see you two." Mai said. "Do you want us to come with you?"
Botan gasped. She had forgotten about the double date! "No, I promised them a double date." She hastily got up and ran to her room.
Yusuke shook his head. "You better hurry up; Spirit's the one hang out with them."
"What's a double date?" Hiei asked, moving away from Tenshi.
Tenshi pulled him into a headlock. "It when you two have alone time, but another couple is with you."
Botan ran out with her pink kimono, tying her hair up. "Let's go Hiei." Hiei followed, he made sure his kanta was at hands. Miko opened the door and shut it after them. Two silver heads and one red head were in plain view in front of them. Botan coughed slightly. Aya, Spirit, and Yuni looked up.
"Botan! Hiei!" Botan smiled politely. "We almost thought you forgot." Yuni said.
"How could we?" Hiei said sarcastically. Botan gave Hiei a look, but Yuni didn't catch the tone of Hiei's voice. She turn to Spirit and clasped her hand.
"It was really wonderful getting to know you, Spirit. We should have lunch together soon." Spirit wiggled her hand out of Yuni's grasp and stalked off, scowling. Aya held up a basket.
"Since this island really doesn't have any kind of restaurant, I thought we could have a picnic of some sort." Botan nodded.
"It sounds great, Aya." Hiei placed one hand on his hidden Kanta; a picnic could be a trap. Either way, he walked by Botan to make sure she couldn't be hurt. His Jagan eye was opening, blinking a few times. Yukina was safe at Genkai's, the others seem to have no problem, and something was moving towards Botan. Hiei realized what happened. The bushes on the other side of Botan rustled. Botan had her oar appear in a mater of seconds. Aya and Yuni turned around, surprised at the couple's sudden reaction. Botan poked the bushes a couple of times. It rustled again and Botan gripped her oar more tightly. It finally gave a shudder and-
Aya laughed. "A rabbit." Yuni chuckled and Botan blushed. Never did she felt so embarrassed, she was sure Hiei felt the same. Hiei gave a small growl.
His Jagan didn't see some cute rabbit, the figure was too swift. Botan pulled him out of his thoughts with a heavy blow from her oar. Hiei winced and placed a hand on his injury. "What the hell was that for?"
"For making me worry over a little rabbit." Botan said, giving him a death glare. Hiei glared back.
"It wasn't a rabbit!" He hissed. Botan crossed her arms.
"Then what do we call a fluffy little creature with a white cotton tail and long pointy ears?" Botan looked up; Aya and Yuni were going ahead without them. Botan turned back to Hiei; he was staring at the woods again. "Please don' mess this up, Hiei."
"Hn." Was Hiei's stubborn answer. Botan produced her oar again and flew after the two. Hiei gave one more glance at the woods, hoping to see a pair of bright red eyes staring back. Nothing of that sort came up, so he left to be with Botan.
That didn't mean he was giving up.
Spirit checked the clock once more, then resumed her pacing. Everyone but herself retreated to bed. They where all tired of waiting for Botan and Hiei to come back. She sensed someone behind her, and quickly threw a kick. Kurama dodged it. "Careful!" He said, dropping his hands. Spirit held up both hands.
"I'm sorry." Kurama sat down on a couch and patted a cushion next to him as an offering to Spirit. She sat down, rubbing her eyes.
"Spirit," Kurama said. "Don't waste your time, you should get some sleep. The tournament starts tomorrow."
"I know, but what if something happened to them? Maybe they where ambushed." She replied. She paused. "But, Koenma would have told us by now if one of his ferry girls were in danger."
Kurama glanced at the door. "They are back."
Sure enough, they could hear Botan and Hiei's voice. Spirit quickly unlocked the door. Botan entered, looking slightly angry, and Hiei followed behind. Kurama stood up. "How did it go?"
Botan untied her hair as she spoke. "Wonderful, only that Hiei kept accusing them of ambushing us!"
Hiei glared at her. "My Jagan eye doesn't lie to me! I know what I saw!"
"You saw a rabbit, leave it at that!" Botan shot back. Kurama and Spirit took a step back.
"I didn't see a rabbit, Botan!" Hiei snapped loudly. Kurama cleared his throat.
"The others are sleeping-" Botan and Hiei glared at him. He stopped talking at once, but Kuwabara and Tenshi entered.
Kuwabara looked at all of them. "What the heck is going on!?"
The angry couple paid no attention to the others coming in. "Hiei, would you stop! They only wanted to have a double date! There is nothing wrong with that!"
"It was an ambush! We scared them off, that's why they didn't attack!"
Botan serious exterior she had seemed to disappear and her ditzy self came back. Botan stamped her foot. "Urgh, Hiei, stop accusing them! They are good people, and if you can't see that, you need to lighten up! Don't come near me if you can't be friendly to them!"
Hiei snorted. "You can't mean it."
Tenshi, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama covered there face and shook there heads. "He obviously doesn't know Botan too well." Tenshi said, cracking a smile. Botan crossed her arms, her face dark and serious.
"Just watch me, Hiei." With that final remark, she strode towards the room she was sharing with Hiei and shut the door. Spirit gave a slight cough, gave a quiet good-bye to Kurama, and went inside Botan's room. The door was once again shut. Tenshi couldn't hold it back any longer, he shook with laughter. Hiei quickly tired to open the door, but it was lock.
"That's funny." Yusuke said. "I thought these rooms don't have locks."
Hiei scowled. "What are you laughing at?" He asked Tenshi.
Tenshi stood up straight, still smiling. "It's funny because it's sad." Tenshi pointed to the door. "Botan did this when ever she was avoiding me at Spirit world. You see, ferry girls like her can do things like this. Anyone but Hiei can come in."
With right timing, Spirit opened the door. Hiei tired entering, but felt his face smash into a border. Tenshi started laughing again as Yusuke entered the room and exited. "See?" Tenshi said.
Spirit closed the door behind her. "She said, Hiei can sleep on the couch. And if any of you help him, she'll give you guys a taste of her oar."
The guys quickly retreated to there rooms, laughing. As Spirit was about to leave, Hiei caught hold of her arm. "How mad is she?" He asked.
"She broke her toothbrush, but that's not really bad." Spirit shrugged. "'Night."
Hiei sigh and lay back on the couch. Why didn't she believe him? Couldn't she sense that the object was way too fast for a rabbit? Hiei sigh again and closed both eyes. His Jagan stayed open though, just in case. "Just in case..."
___________________________________________________________
"Kurama?" Spirit whispered. She shut the door quietly behind her and tip-toed towards his bed. She stood there for a moment, seeing if he'll turn around. She started to leave, until Kurama spoke in a hushed voice.
"Is that you, Spirit?" Kurama eyes adjusted to the darkness as he stared in front of him. Spirit gave a nod he couldn't see.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" She asked, sitting down at the end of the bed. Kurama sat up, the moonlight in his window showed his bare chest. Kurama could see that Spirit avoided looking at him and his quickly drew the blanket around him.
"No, it's alright." Kurama said. "I was just thinking about the tournament tomorrow."
Spirit fingered her locket on her neck. "I wonder, about my brother I mean. I don't remember why he would do such things in the past..."
Kurama watched her very closely. "People change over the times."
Spirit held up one finger. "But, they have to change for some reason right? Something must inspire them or happen to change." She hesitated. "Maybe...maybe I was a brat when I was little. Maybe he was mad at me."
Kurama took her hand and moved her from the end of the bed to where he was. He held her in his arms. "Well, whatever reason he chose to do such things, I'll help you bare with it."
Spirit snuggled up to Kurama's bare chest. So safe...so comforting...
"Arigato." She mumbled. Everything could wait until the morning; right now all she wanted to do was be with Kurama. [1]
______________________________________________________
"What are you two doing?" Spirit opened one eye. Yusuke and Kuwabara was looking down on her. She could feel Kurama's arm's around her. She stood up quickly.
"Umm," Spirit blushed. "Good Morning!" She ran past them and out of the door. Kuwabara shook Kurama awake.
"Yo, what happened?" Kurama groggily opened his eyes.
"Huh?" He asked. Yusuke pointed to the door.
"Why was Spirit here?" Yusuke grinned. "Unless..."
Kurama stood up and quickly pulled on some pants on top of his rose boxers. "No! Nothing of that sort!" [2]
Kuwabara gave out a laugh. "Right, just hurry up. Everyone is going to the stadium."
Kurama sigh and pulled on a shirt and followed the guys out. Hiei was still sleeping on the couch, though he now had a pillow and a blanket. Kurama watched as Hiei stood up suddenly. "Let's go." He muttered, picking up his kanta. The others followed him.
"What about the girls?" Kurama asked. Tenshi answered for him.
"They left earlier, Spirit left a few seconds ago on her cloud." Tenshi punched Hiei from the back. "How about you, sleep well?"
Hiei scowled. "Shut up." He could tell what happened all through the night. Spirit went to Kurama's room, Miko came out and gave him a blanket and a pillow, and Botan slept soundly. The guys got quiet; Hiei was in a bad mood. They finally reached the stadium though and waited until there name would be called out for fight. One by one the teams name called over the speakers. They still stood though, waiting for there name or Owari's name. Finally the speakers said something of there interest.
"Next fight, Owari versus Meki Team."
