"Ohhh..........Uhhhhhhhh......."
Keiko cast a worried glance at her boyfriend, hearing his moans.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Yusuke lifted his head up from between his legs and looked at her. His face was pale and a little green.
"Yeah, I'm peachy."
Keiko frowned at his sarcastic tone.
"I'm just trying to help! You don't have to be so rude!"
"You wanna help? Get me another barf bag, I'm gonna need it. Oh, and tell the captain to stop hitting all of the potholes!" He yelled the last part making people stare at him.
Keiko sweatdropped.
"Yusuke, there are no potholes in the sky, MORON! Heh! I even knew that! Who's the dumb one now!"
"You, still, because I was being sarcastic. Dumbass."
"Yusuke, maybe you should go to the bathroom. That might help." Keiko offered.
"No thanks, MOM. That fat guy just came out of there for the fifth time in the last half an hour. I'm not taking my chances."
"Suit yourself." Keiko turned and looked out the window, enjoying the view.
"Oh, man! I'm so hungry! When they gonna feed us!?" Kuwabara bellowed.
"You just ate at the airport, you're hungry again?" Yukina asked.
"He's always hungry." Keiko muttered.
Kuwabara laughed retardedly and nodded.
"Yeah, I am. But I exercise to keep my womanly figure!"
Yukina giggled sweetly, making Kuwabara's face glow.
"I heard that airplane food is terrible though, are you really going to eat it?"
"Oh, I'll eat just about anything!" Kuwabara announced proudly.
Yusuke picked his head up again.
"Could we please not talk about food right now?"
"Why? Can't stomach the flight?"
"You want me to barf on you?! No? Didn't think so! Now, shut the hell up!"
"Yusuke, watch you language in front of the ladies!"
"Oh, kiss my ass, Kuwabara. You are just as bad as me and you know it!"
"Wow, you don't seem sick Urameshi! You feel well enough to argue with me!"
"You're right, for once, pointing out how stupid you are always makes my feel better." Yusuke said with a smile.
The argument went on for a while, pissing off most of the people on the flight. Keiko hid her blushing face by staring out the window. Yukina stared at the ground, her eyes wide.
Hearing the commotion going on behind her over the music from her CD, Botan turned around to settle the matter. Kurama watched her with amusement in his eyes.
"ALRIGHT!" she yelled.
Both boys stopped and looked at her.
"Both of you need to shut up right now! I can't believe you can be so immature! Look at all of the people you are bugging! If we get kicked off this airline because of you two I swear I will beat you with a bat until even you own mothers won't be able to recognize you!"
The boys stared at her, dumbfounded.
"Do you understand?"
They nodded and sat down.
Clapping and cheers erupted around them. Botan's jaw dropped and her eyes widened. Blush crept up onto her face. She turned around and slid down into her seat, mortified.
"You go girl." Kurama said jokingly. Botan looked at him.
"I can't believe I just did that. What are people going to think of me!?"
The clapping finally died down and Kurama smiled.
"From all of the clapping you just received, I'd say they don't think anything bad of you."
"I must have seemed horrible to threaten them like that!"
"Hn. You're just lucky you told them off before I did." Hiei said.
Botan considered that.
"Yeah, you're right. You would have done something way too drastic and I would be even more embarrassed."
"Only if you think killing them is too drastic." Hiei said with a smirk.
"Yeah, just a little." Botan nodded.
Flight Attendant Marissa came through the curtains at the end of the plane and asked for everyone's attention.
"Excuse me, but we will be serving lunch shortly. Today, you have a choice between grilled teriyaki chicken or prime rib steaks."
"You might as well say you're serving us plastic!" an anonymous person yelled, causing some people to chuckle.
Flight Attendant Marissa continued, a little peeved.
"The sides that will be available include coleslaw, salad, soup, you choice in vegetable and fruit, and we have rolls, muffins and biscuits."
"Yeah, DOG biscuits!" the voice yelled out again. Again, some chuckles sounded through the plane.
F.A. Marissa's face reddened with anger, but tried to appear calm.
"We offer a wide variety of drinks. We have chocolate milk available along with white milk in all percent preferences, skim, 1%, 2%, etc. Coffee, decaf and not, ice tea or hot tea. We also have many kinds of pop for you to choose from."
F.A. Marissa waited for the smartass comment to come, but she heard nothing.
"What? You got nothing to say now?!" she yelled.
"YOU SUCK!" came the reply.
F.A. Marissa shook her head and went back through the curtains only to come right back out.
"Please consider what you would like to eat. I'll come and take your orders in a few minutes."
She turned and the voice called out again.
"Yeah that's right! Walk away, witch!"
Having had enough, she took off her high heeled shoe and threw it in the direction the voice was coming from.
Yusuke, having been hiding from the woman behind his seat, looked up over it, still laughing, only to see her navy blue shoe flying right at his head. It hit him dead on and knocked back onto the floor.
Everybody burst out laughing. Even Kurama couldn't keep his laughing at bay.
With a confident walk, F.A. Marissa came to retrieve her shoe. She looked down at the young man she had hit.
"I'm sorry he was so rude." Keiko said, "He has a tendency to be a jerk."
F.A. Marissa looked at her then noticed out of the corner of her eye a patch of red hair. Turning, a smile instantly lit her face. She remembered that gorgeous face very well.
"Hello again!" she said.
Kurama looked up at her and gave her a small smile.
"Sorry about my friend."
"That's quite alright! So, what's you name?" she asked leaning towards him.
"Uh.....ummmmm." Kurama said, leaning away from her as far as he could, which led him to be leaning on Botan.
Botan waved to her to get her attention.
"Hi. I'd like the chicken, with a salad and glass of chocolate milk, if you'd be so kind." She asked overly sweet.
F.A. Marissa got the hint and left. "Just a second please."
"Looks like you got yourself admirer." Botan teased.
"What else it new?"
Botan laughed and turned to see how Yusuke was faring.
When she saw him leaning on Keiko's shoulder she smiled.
"Nice job Yusuke! And I thought you were sick!"
"Shut up Botan, I have a headache."
"Awww, poor baby!" Keiko said as she lightly slapped him on the cheek.
"You're just lucky that she has a crush on Kurama."
A confused look crossed Kuwabara's face as he listened.
"Why is he lucky because of that?"
"Because, at least we know she won't kick us off. And then I won't have to follow through with my threat."
"Oh."
Botan turned back around. She looked around and blew out a breath.
"So, how much longer does this ride last?"
"About another hour and a half. I think. That captain hasn't really been keeping us updated." Kurama answered.
"He's probably too busy reading the instruction manual on how to fly." Hiei muttered as they hit a little bit of turbulence.
Botan sighed.
"Well, I have to use the restroom. Excuse me."
She walked up the isle towards the bathrooms. She looked at both of the doors and saw that they were both occupied. She leaned against the wall to wait her turn when someone walked up next to her. She looked up and smiled. That 'someone' just happened to be a very good looking young man with brown hair and blue eyes. Still, he didn't even compare with Kurama in her mind.
"Are, um, these occupied?" he asked sheepishly.
Botan nodded and smiled.
"Yeah, that's why I'm waiting here."
A subtle blush colored his cheeks as he laughed.
"Yeah, that makes sense. Sorry."
"It's okay. You can wait with me if you like." She offered the spot on the wall next to her.
He accepted and leaned against it the same way Botan was.
"So," he started, "Where ya headed?"
Botan gave him a look and started laughing. He thought about what he had said and when he realized his mistake, his blush deepened.
"I mean, whoa, that was a dumb question."
"No offense, but yeah it was." Botan said with a smile.
"Let me try again. Why are you going to Hawaii?"
"I'm going on a vacation with my friends. They're all sitting over there." She said pointing to where her seat is.
"Oh, wait. You're that girl who was yelling at those two guys that were fighting! I couldn't really tell who it was."
Now it was Botan's turn to blush.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, that was me. I must seem like a total snob to you."
"No, not at all. I think it was pretty cool that you did that. Funny too."
Botan smiled at him. "Thanks. So, what's you name?"
"Josh. And what's yours?"
"My name is Botan."
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Botan."
"Same here."
Finally a door to one of the bathrooms opened and an old lady walked out. She gave a look to the two and headed towards her seat. Josh indicated to the bathroom.
"Ladies first, and well, you were here first."
"Thanks, and maybe I'll see ya around."
"Okay. Cool."
Back at his seat, Kurama watched Botan walk to the bathroom. As she leaned against the wall he studied her. The jean capris she was wearing showed off her slender legs. She had her hair up in its normal ponytail, the end of it reaching down her back. There was sharp contrast to her hair and the white zip-up sweater she wore above a pink tank top. Kurama liked when she wore normal clothes. Her pink kimono seemed to engulf her whenever she wore it.
Then, that guy walked up to her. Kurama watched most of their conversation, jealousy brewing with in him. He didn't like all of the smiles shared between the two. And he didn't like how the guy looked at Botan. It was obvious to Kurama that the guy liked Botan. And he was pretty sure that the guy was looking at Botan's butt as she went into the bathroom.
"Uh-oh Fox, that guy is moving in on your girl." Hiei said with a smirk.
"She's not my girl."
"Then why are you getting so worked up about him? I can feel your hate for him and you don't even know him."
"Okay, so I don't like him. So, what?"
"So what? You like her and you know it. Hell, even I know it! What I don't know is why you don't tell her."
"It's complicated Hiei. I don't know how she feels about me."
"I swear, being human has made you dumb, or you've been spending too much time with the moron. It's obvious she has feelings for you too."
"How do you know?"
"You remember this?" he said pointing to his jagan, "It has a lot to do with how I know these things."
"Well, maybe you're wrong. She doesn't act like she likes me."
"Are you becoming blind too? I'm sure even the moron can tell she likes you. She isn't the best at hiding things."
"Whatever, she's coming back, so be quiet."
"Hn."
Kurama went back to reading, to make it seem that he had been doing it all along. Botan sat down.
"I think I'm going to try to sleep. If there is an hour and a half left then maybe I'll be able to sleep it away."
"Okay. I'll wake you when we land if you're still sleeping."
"Thanks."
Then she got as comfortable as she could in the chair and put her headphones back on to listen to music to help her sleep. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
Kurama found it hard not to look at her. He tried to concentrate on his book but every once in a while he had to look up at her. Then, arguing started again from behind him.
"Not again." He muttered.
"Can I kill them now?" Hiei asked.

Holy moly! Over 2000 words! Wow! I think this is a pretty long chapter! And I hope you enjoyed it!
So, tell me what ya thought please! What was your favorite part? What would you like to see? Tell me! Thanks!
Oh, and trust me, this is going to be a Kurama/Botan, but what fun is it if there isn't a little competition? Lol!
Thanks for reading!
