Chapter 10: Botan and Hiei are what?!?

(Oh yeah I mentioned this before but I'll do it again, Hiei is taller in this story, and Koenma is in his teenage form for most of the story.)



Botan woke up with a sense of happiness as she remembered what had went on last night. 'Hiei loves me..' Botan thought with a smile plastered on her face as she walked into the bathroom and washed her face, and brushed her teeth. "I just the others don't find out about us too soon...they will definetley make fun of us.' She thought as she walked towards her room door. She looked towards the floor as she took small steps towards the kitchen.

'What should I say to him...what should I do..oh this is all too confusing I've never been in love before..'Botan thought as she continued to walk. Suddenly she bumped into something, or in this case someone. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry,..Hiei.." Botan said as she looked up, and remembered the kiss they had last night. "It's ok." He told her. There was an awkward silence between the two.

Just then Botan realized how close they really were. 'Her lips look so soft...like I could kiss her-...damn I really am getting soft...I just can't let the others find out..' Hiei thought as they unconsiously were pulled closer. Then their lips met and they had been kissing for a while now. Botan had her hands on Hiei's neck, and he has his hands on Botans waist. 'Wow Hiei is a really good kisser..' Botan thought as she continued to kiss him.

**********Kitchen

"I can't believe those two really got together!" Yukina said as she squealed in delight. "Yes, they're both the complete opposites, but they still love each other." Genkai finished. "I wonder what could be taking Hiei so long, he's usually up by now..." Yukina said aloud. "Maybe you should go tell Koenma that they're together so he doesn't do anything stupid." Genkai told her.

"Oh yeah Koenma gave me one of those communication devices, just incase anything happened." Yukina said as she got up from her chair. She walked and when she got to the threshold of the door, she stopped. There was a look of shock on her face, but it was gone as happiness shorwded her face. Gankai got up to see why she had stopped all of sudden, when she saw what Yukina saw. Botan, and Hiei...kissing.

Yukina smiled as she watched Botan and Hiei. 'My brother is finally with someone..' She thought as just then her communication mirror started beeping. Botan and Hiei stopped kissing, startled by the noise. They both started blushing and looked very flustered. 'Man!' Yukina thought as she rushed out of the kitchen, and into her own room. Genkai smirked as she watched the two, and Botan looked down and acted like she wasn't doing anything.

"Hello?" Yukina said as she picked up the device. "Hey Yukina, it's me Koenma." Koenma replied. "Oh Hey, Koenma I-" Yukina said as he cut her off. "I have the greatest idea to get Botan and Hiei together!" Koenma answered in delight as if he had just one a billion dollars. "Wait, no they're already-" Yukina said as once again Koenma cut her off. "Ok ok I know you're probably thinking what plan could Koenma have..his last plan was disasterous!" Koenma answered.

"No, that's not what I was thinking I was going to tell you that-" Yukina said in frustration as Koenma cut her off again. "Good, because this plan is sure too work, I guarantee it...I'll call Botan in a little while and tell them too come over, and bring you." Koenma said as they got disconnected. "Ugh, Koenma...what am I supposed to do now!" Yukina said as she put a smile on her face and walked back inside the kitchen.

There, Botan Hiei and Genkai were all sitting in an awkward silence. "Was that a communication mirror?" Botan asked Yukina. "Um, no actually it was my..alarm clock!" Yukina lied. "Oh." Botan said as everyone went back to looking down at their food as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. They each kept sending glances to each other. "You guys saw didn't you." Hiei said deciding to break the silence. "Yes" Genkai answered.

"But we knew since last night." Yukina said. "Huh....really?" Botan asked. "Yeah we did." Genkai said. "How?" Botan asked. "Well, you guys were kind of loud last night (NO NOT LIKE THAT)with all of your yelling at each other." Yukina said sheepishly. "Oh." Botan said as she blushed. "But don't worry we won't tell anyone I promise." Yukina said sincerley. "Good, no telling what the kitsune and those bakas would do." Hiei said as he ate.

"Uh, do you guys want to know something?" Yukina asked. "Sure." Botan said as she watched Yukina. 'I hope they don't get mad at me for this.' Yukina thought as she spoke up. "Well, you see..Koenma, Kurama, Genkai and I have been trying to..." Yukina said as she stopped. "Yes, you guys have been trying to...what?" Botan asked. "Well we were trying to get..." Yukina said as she stopped once more.

'Maybe I shouldn't tell them...they might just get mad at us for trying to hook them up..' Yukina thought as Genkai listened knowing what she was going to say. "You guys have been trying to get...what?" Botan asked. "Oh, nothing just forget it.." Yukina said sheepishly. "Come on you can tell me." Botan said sweetly. "It's nothing really, nothing important at all...ehe really." Yukina answered as she smiled. "Are you sure?" Botan asked a little stunned by Yukina behavior.

"Yeah I'm sure." She said as she watched Genkai singnalling she didn't want them to get mad at her. "So have you guys found out anymore on the demon Jurenju?" Genkai asked. "Well no, just what I told you before, they haven't found anymore info on him." Botan answered as the communication mirror beeped. "Hello." Botan said as she opened the mirror. "Botan you Hiei and Yukina come quick...I want to show you guys something!" Koenma yelled.

"Alright." Botan said as she got up. "Koenma wants us to go to him, uh.. you too Yukina." Botan said as they left. "Later Genkai!" Botan and Yukina said as they left. "I wonder why he wants you there too?" Botan asked Yukina as they walked. "I honestly don't know....and I don't want to know." Yukina said as she mummbled the last part so no one could hear her. "What was that last part?" Botan asked. "I said I don't know...and I hope it's something on the demon." She answered.

**********Spirit World

"Oh man Koenma you are going to be in so much trouble once the shrimp finds out what you will do to him." Kuwabara said as he laughed. "No I won't." Koenma said confidently. "Yes you will be." Yusuke said in his know it all voice as Keiko nodded. "I'm afraid I have to agree with them, this may not be the best way to actually get them together." Kurama answered. "Well I don't see you trying to do anything!" Koenma said.

"Well as true as that may be this will definetly not be the best way to go about it." Kurama answered. "They'll be thanking me for this one day, trust me." Koenma said. "Yukina and I trusted you before with one of your plans but it backfired." Kurama said. "Hey it worked Hiei noticed her!" Koenma explained. "Yeah and so did every other demon in that cafe!" Kurama said.

"I don't see why you guys are putting all this trouble just to get Hiei and Botan together...I mean they're complete opposites!" Yusuke said. "I personally think it's romantic." Keiko said dreamily. "What's romantic about Botan and shorty?" Kuwabara asked. "Well I think that they really do like each other, have you noticed how close they have gotten?" Keiko asked. "Well yeah, they have gotten close,...really close." Yusuke answered.

"I rest my case. For Hiei to get close to someone, Botan no less means he likes them. For Botan to put up with Hiei for so long means she likes him back!" Keiko answered as she sighed. "She has got a point." Kuwabara answered. "Yeah, maybe they do like each other." Yusuke replied. "And after my plan, they'll be together." Koenma said happily. "Yeah, let's just hope for now." Kurama told him.

Just then Yukina, Botan and Hiei came inside the room. "Hello everyone." Botan said cheefully as they greeted her and the others. "Hey Yukina!" Kuwabara said as he ran up to her. "Hey Kazuma." She replied. "Did you miss me?" He asked stupidly. "Uh..I guess?" Yukina answered not wanting to be rude. "Did you hear that guys?!? She missed me!!" Kuwabara said happily as Hiei glared at Kuwabara.



"Did you find anything on the demon?" Yukina asked. "No I wanted to show you all something." Koenma said. "So what is it that you want to show us?" Hiei asked. Koenma glanced at Yukina as she mouthed the words Can I talk to you? "After." He whispered as they all followed him.

They all stopped at a metal door and Koenma opened it. "Wow what is this place?" Kurama asked. "It's the training room." Koenma said. "Training room?..How come I didn't know we had a training room?" Botan asked as she walked inside the room. It has black walls, and a black tiled floor. There was nothing else inside the room. "I just got it installed yesterday that's why." Koenma replied. "Oh I see." Botan said as she continued to stare at the room.

"This could help us get stronger for the fight with Jurenju." Kurama pointed out. "My thoughts exactly...so who wants to go first?" Koenma asked. "Me I do I do!!" Kuwabara and Yusuke both said in unison as Keiko glared at them making them remember that Hiei was supposed to go into the room with Botan. "Hiei you can go first." Yusuke said. "Yeah we don't feel like going first anymore." Kuwabara said with a frown on his face.

"Fine." Hiei answered as he walked inside. "Good luck!" Botan told him as she walked towards the door. Just before she could walk inside the door slammed shut. Koenma kicked it with his foot and locked it. Botan tried to open the door but it she couldn't. "Hiei could you open the door for me?..it's slammed shut." Botan told him. "Alright." Hiei answered as he tried to open the door. "It's locked." Hiei said as Botan opened her communication mirror.

"Koenma you accidently locked me inside here, can you open the door please!" Botan said as her face appeared on the screen. "I'm afraid I can't. The training room is set to lock and close at certain times. I set it to lock for forty five minutes, you'll just have to wait for now." Koenma told her. "Oh, alright." Botan said as they got disconnected. "It's set to lock and I have to stay in here for fourty five minutes." Botan said as she sat down and Hiei 'hned.'

**********Outside

"Well that was stupid, they'll probably fight the whole time they're in there when I could have trained!" Yusuke whined. "Hold your horses Yusuke they'll get together by the end of today I'm sure of it!" Koenma said confidently. "Why did you do that Koenma?" Yukina asked. "When they're stuck in there together they'll be forced to get together!" Koenma answered. "Oh no." Yukina said aloud.

"What you don't think the plan is good...I'm sure it will get those two together!" He said once more. "But they already were together!" Yukina said as her eyes widened and she clasped her hands over her mouth realising what she had just said. "What?!?" They all said in unison except Yukina. "I wasn't supposed to say anything, please don't tell them!" Yukina said. "How, and when did they get together?" Kurama asked in amazment.

"Well last night after the party Botan told Hiei she loved him and he told her that if even if he did love her he couldn't because of Jurenju. She left but then he went to go get her back, and now they're together. Oh and this morning Genkai and I caught them kissing." Yukina said as she smiled. "Hiei and Botan were what?!" Yusuke and Kuwabara asked in amazement. "They were kissing." Keiko said happily.

"So you should let them out now." Kurama told Koenma. "Do you have any idea what those too can do behind closed doors?" Yusuke asked pervertedly. "Baka." Koenma said as he put the key in the door knob. He tried to open the door but it didn't work. "Hmm..I wonder why it isn't working." Konema said as he tried to open the door. "Didn't you say that there was a timer?" Yusuke asked. "I was lying." Koenma replied.

"Well obviously there is one because there is a timer underneath the door." Kurama said as he pointed and everyone sweat dropped. "Really?..ehe I guess we'll just have to wait for the time to run out." Koenma said as he watched the door. "So did you tell them about our little mission?" Kurama asked. "Well, no." Yukina answered. "Why not?" Keiko asked. "I didn't want them to get mad at us." Yukina said honestly.



"How can they be mad at us..it's all because of us when they get married, have children, and-" Koenma said as he got cut off. "We know we know, and their children have children." Kurama and Yukina answered annoyed. "Well it's true." Koenma said offended. Just then the communication mirror beeped. "Hey." Koenma said. "Hey, how much longer do we have to wait in here?" Botan asked. "Thirty more minutes, if Hiei wants to train he can." Koenma told her.

"How can he train when I'm in here?" Botan asked. "I can switch the room to hologram mode...it'll go right through you, you can't feel a thing." Koenma assured her. "Oh ok I'll ask him." Botan said as she asked Hiei. "So do you want to? The demons will be holographic so it won't bother me." Botan told him. "Alright." Hiei answered. "He wants to train." Botan told Koenma. "Ok." Koenma said as he pressed a button and turned a knob.

********** Training Room

From the ceiling a blue and yellow light appeared over their heads. A portal was opened, and two demons came out of it. One demon threw a ki at Hiei and he dodged it. The other was headed straight for Botan but she didn't see. When she turned around it hit her but she flew all the way back into the walls. "Botan!" Hiei said as he ran towards her. "Are you ok?" He asked as he dropped his katana next to her.



"So much for holographic...ugh yeah I'm fine." Botan answered as she got up. "They aren't hollograms..they probably aren't even part of this training room." Hiei said. "Correct Hiei." One of the demons said. "We were sent by Jurenju, he wanted to test your skills..and inflict pain on that girl over there." The other said. "I'm Bakku" said the demon with the dark read hair, pale red skin, and charcoal eyes.

"And I'm Natsuke." The one with Dark blue heair, bale green eyes, and light blue skin said. They both had fangs and claws. "And I don't care." Hiei told them. Bakku charged for Hiei while Natsuke put some device on Botans arm. "Hey!" She said as she moved her hand to take it off. "Now now, I wouldn't do that if I were you." Natsuke said. "Yes, if you make any attempt to take it off I will press the switch. This will drain your energy and kill you in an instant." Bakku said.

"If you try and get it off her or fight us back my brother will push the button." He said evilly. "Cowards." Hiei muttered.

**********Outside

"Hey...the switch isn't working.." Koenma said as he tried to put the holographic mode on. "Wow guys do you feel that?" Kuwabara asked. "Yes, it's coming from the training room and it's not Hiei or Botan." Kurama answered. "Something is happening in that room, two powerful demons are in there." Yusuke said as Keiko and Yukina gasped. "I bet Jurenju sent them." Yukina said.

"Let's go to the camera room!" Koenma said as they all followed him. "Here it is." Koenma said as they all walked in. "Wow there must be cameras everywhere." Kuwabara said. "Yup." Koenma replied. "Wait a minute are there cameras in the bathrooms too?...because I used a bathroom here once!" Yusuke asked. "No of course not!" Koenma yelled loudly as he pushed a button. There were two demons in the room a now gagged Botan, and Hiei standing still.

Botan had tape over her mouth, her legs and hands were tied together. She could move her hands but only slightly. "Hey what is that thing on Botans arm?" Yusuke asked referring to the energy draining device. "Yeah, and why is shorty letting them hit him?" Kuwabara asked. "That has the power to drain the spirit energy right out of you. The other demon appears to be holding the switch for it." Koenma explained.

"They probably said they'd press the switch if Hiei and Botan didn't follow their orders. I'm guessing Hiei and Botan can't take the device off of Botan, and if Hiei tries to defend himself they will pull the switch killing Botan." Kurama answered. "We gotta go help them." Kuwabara said. "There's a timer on the door remember?" Keiko said. "Well I'll just spirit gun that stupid door down." Yusuke said confidently.

"It's made to deflect spirit energy." Koenma told him. "Oh that's great." Kuwabara replied. "We'll just have to wait for now." Kurama answered. "Waiting isn't one of my specialties." Yusuke said aloud. "Yeah it's not mine either but, we have no other choice." Koenma said as they watched the screen.

**********Training Room

"No funny stuff or bye bye Botan, ok?" Bakku asked. "Right." A badly beaten up Hiei said as he watched Botan. 'Oh no, Hiei's already beat up pretty badly, and it's because of me... what should I do?' Botan thought as she saw Hiei watching her. She followed his eyes to see he was looking at his katana next to her. She nodded signalling she knew what he meant and inched foward to get his katana.

The two demons soon forgot about Botan and they punched and kicked Hiei. Once Botan got the katana she held on to it and moved it up and down, cutting the rope. After her hands got free she cut the rope on her legs, and then pulled the tape off her mouth. She got up as one of the demons saw her. She quickly pulled the device off of her and punched Bakku in his face. She kicked him in the stomach as hard as she could and he fell to the ground in pain.

Then Botan gave the katana back to Hiei. Just then everyone burst threw the door. Natsuke ran up to Botan and picked her up. He threateningly put the knife at her neck. "If you know what's good for you don't do anything." He said as he wavered the knife in front of Botan. "Why does everyone love using me as bait?" Botan said to herself. "Shut up baka." Bakku said as he got up. 'Baka demon.' Botan thought as she pouted.

*~Kurama and the baka go in front of Bakku while Yusuke and I will corner Natsuke~* Hiei told everyone through telepathy. In an instant Kurama and Kuwabara were in front of Bakku and the same with Natsuke. "I thought I told you not to move, now your girlfriend will pay for your stubornness." Natuske said. "I wouldn't do that." Yusuke said from behind him. "What..when did you get there?" He asked.

"Spirit Gun!" Yusuke yelled. It hit the demon and before he fell to the ground he swiftly cut Botan in her stomach. It was too fast for her to even notice. Soon after the same blue and yellow light appeared sucking Bakku and Natsuke into the portal. "You alright?" Hiei asked her. "Yeah..no.." Botan said as she winced in pain. "God look at your shirt." Hiei said as she looked. It was red and so were her hands. She pulled up her shirt a bit to find a wound.

"Natsuke must've done it right after Yusuke's spirit gun." Kuwabara said. "Yeah.." Botan said as she shut her eyes. Hiei saw this and picked her up before she could fall. "She's lost too much blood already, let's go to my house." Kurama said. "Why can't Yukina just heal her?" Yusuke asked. "I don't think my powers will be able to handle that." Yukina told them. "She's right let's go." Koenma said as they left.

They arrived at Kurama's house and Hiei set her on the bed. Kurama pulled some things out of his closet and gave them to Botan. That should heal it and help her get some rest. You should take some too Hiei, you look pretty beat." Kurama told him. "Whatever." Hiei said as he drank the potion. He fell asleep on the chair he was sitting in, it was right next to where Botan was sleeping.



"We should let them rest." Keiko said as they all walked out of the door. A few hours later Hiei was the first to wake up. He looked around to find Botan on the bed, then he remembered what had happened. Soon after Botan woke up. "Hiei." Botan said as he walked over to him. "How do you feel?" Hiei asked. "A lot better, the wound isn't there anymore." Botan said happily. "Good." He replied. "So what about you?" She asked.

"Huh?" He asked. "Well you got beat up badly too." Botan said. "I'm good." Hiei told her. "You fought pretty well....really good actually. Where did you learn to fight?" Hiei asked Botan. "I knew how to fight even before I died, I went to a martial arts class." Botan answered. "Oh." He replied. "Thanks for getting beat up for me." Botan said as she smiled. "It was nothing really.." He told her as she got up.

"Ok." Botan said as she hugged him. "The others are outside-mfm" Hiei said as he got cut off because Botan had kissed him. He kissed her back and at that moment the others came in but Botan and Hiei didn't hear them. They had been standing there for a while watching, and waiting for them to realize they were in the room. "Ahem." Yusuke said as they stopped and Botan started blushing.

"Ahahahahahah!" Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed as the others watched confused. "What is so funny?" Hiei asked. "You...and Botan...ahaha!" Yusuke started off. "Together!" Kuwabara choked out. "Ahaha-ouch!" They both said as Keiko and Botan both hit them each. "I don't see anything funny about that." Keiko defended. "Me neither." Botan said sternly. "Well it's hard to imagine Hiei has fallen in love..." Kuwabara said.

"With you no doubt, but I guess we'll have to get used to you guys kissing and being all lovey dovey and stuff." Yusuke said as Keiko hit him once more. "Damn, do you ladies want me to get brain damage or something?" Yusuke asked as he rubbed his head and Keiko 'hmphed'. "So it's true then...you guys really are together." Kurama stated trying to end he fighting between the others.

"What do you mean so it's true?...did you tell Yukina?" Botan asked susupiciously. "Yes...I'm sorry." Yukina answered. "It's ok." Botan replied. "It just slipped out. I asked Koenma why he had locked the door on you guys, but it was part of his plan to get you guys together..when he said this I blurted it out that you too were together." Yukina said. "What do you mean plan to get us together?" Hiei asked.

"Oops." Yukina said. "Well Yukina decided that the only way for you to open up more was to get you with someone,." Kurama said. "She asked me to help, and I asked Kurama, then Genkai found out about us. Yesterday before the party Kuwabara and Yusuke over heard us talking and they told Keiko." Koenma told them. "We have been trying to get you together for a while." Yukina said.

"What made you think that Botan and I would be a good couple?" Hiei asked feeling a bit weird that they were talking about this. "Well you guys fought...a lot. I figured beneath all that fighting there had to be love." Yukina said. "So what plans have you made?" Botan asked astonished that everyone knew about his except for her and Hiei. "There quite a lot actually...Koenma took part in most of them though." Kurama said.

"Well let's see, I made Hiei your protector when we found out about the demons, when Hiei got poisoned he had to get it through the lips by the person that he loved which was Botan, we made Hiei distract you when we planned the party, we paired up together during the food fight so you and Hiei would be together, most of the dares that Kurama and I put in were meant for you and Hiei, I flirted with you, I locked you in the training room...and that's all I think..." Koenma answered.

"You forgot about the time you made Botan dress in that waitress outfit so Hiei would notice her....oops." Yukina said sheepishly. "Yukina!" Koenma said in agony. "Ehe..sorry." She said again. "You, you made me dress up in that ... that thing?" Botan said madly. "Wait now Botan...thanks to me and everyone else you and Hiei will be married, and have kids, and they'll have kids!" Koenma said nervously.

"He really meant well Botan, he kept on saying that same phrase over and over!" Kurama said annoyed. "Yeah." Yukina added. "Oh, alright." Botan said. "So you aren't mad..?" Yukina asked apprehensivley. "No, it's just kind of akward that you guys have been planning all of this and we didn't even have a clue." Botan answered as she smiled. "So did you and Hiei go out on a date yet?" Keiko asked excitedly.

"No, we just go together yesterday night." Botan said. "Well are you planning on going out?" She asked again. "I haven't really thought about it..I don't know." Botan told her as she blushed. "Oh come on you know you want to go out on a date!...Tomorrow you guys will go, have fun, and I'll arrange everything!" Keiko said giving Botan no time to speak. "No we-" Hiei said as he got cut off.

"I bet you want to go on a date too Hiei, no need to hide it! Well I have to go now bye guys!" Keiko said as she left. "Yeah so do we." Kuwabara said as he and Yusuke left. "Well, I guess I better get going too. Thanks for healing us Kurama, bye guys." Botan said. "Bye." Kurama and Koenma said in unison as Botan and Yukina followed by Hiei left for Genkais temple.

Once they reached Genkais temple it was already night time. "Hiei?" Botan said as she walked into his room. She was wearing a tank top with clouds on it and the matching pants. Hiei was wearing a pants and no shirt. "What is it?" He asked softly. "Well, I was thinking about when you guys go off too fight Jurenju...I'm coming too." She said. "No, it will be way to dangerous for you too come." Hiei told her. "You guys need me there, remember what Koenma said about the horn?" Botan asked him.

"I remember what he said, but what if it doesn't work?" He replied. "What if it does?" She said back determined to go with them. "We have no proof that it could work, plus we know nothing about his strength." Hiei told her. "I can protect myself, you said it yourself that I was a good fighter....you gotta let me try Hiei!" Botan said to him as she put on her famous puppy dog face. "Fine." Hiei replied as he sighed.

"Thanks!" Botan said happily. "But the first sign of trouble you leave." Hiei said as he cut her off. "Ok." She told him as she gave him a quick peck on the lips and ran into her room. "What happened at Koenmas?" Genkai asked Yukina. "Well Koenma tried to get Botan and Hiei together by locking them in a room, then two demons sent by Jurenju came but they defeated him...Botan and Hiei got wounded but Kurama healed them and eventually everyone found out about Botan and Hiei." Yukina replied.

"Oh, so basically Koenma called you all there so he can get Botan and Hiei together." Genkai said. "Right...I'm going to bed now night Genkai." Yukina replied. "Goodnight." Genkai said as she walked past Yukina and into her room. 'I'll go see Botan first before I go to sleep.' Yukina thought as she walked towards Botan's room. "Botan?" Yukina asked as she entered. "Hey Yukina." Botan replied as Yukina walked up to her.

"I just wanted to make sure you aren't mad at us for doing all of those plans to get you and Hiei together." Yukina said. "I told you before Yukina, I'm not mad at all...it's ok really." Botan told her sincerley. "Thanks." Yukina replied as she smiled. "You're welcome." Botan said back. "Well I'm going to my room now, good night...sister in law." She teased as she ran out of Botans room and into Hieis room.

"Hiei." Yukina said as she walked into his room. "Hm, what is it." He asked. "I just wanted to know if you were mad at us for trying to get you and Botan together...we-" Yukina said as she got cut off by Hiei. "How many times will you say sorry?...Didn't we already say we weren't mad?" Hiei asked her as he smirked. "Well thanks." Yukina said. "You're welcome.." Hiei replied. "Goodnight brother." Yukina said as she walked out of his room.

'We did it!' She thought as she went to her room for a well earned rest. Everyone went to sleep but Hiei would soon be woken up. *~ "I thought I told you, that you couldn't love Hiei?....Now this girl that you have fallen in love with will die...and it will be all because of you..You should've listened to me!" A figure shrowded in dark said as he inched towards a badly beaten Botan. 'No!' Hiei thought in horror as he watched the sight of Botan being killed right in front of his eyes. There was nothing he could do....~*

Just then Hiei woke up in a cold sweat, eyes wide opened and breathing heavily. 'Botan..' He thought as he pulled the covers off of him and went inside her room. She was in a peaceful slumber with a smile settled on her face. "She's ok..just had to check." Hiei said to himself as he walked back into his room and went into his bed. 'I hope I don't have that dream again.' Hiei thought as he went back to sleep.

As soon as Hiei left Botan started dreaming. *~ "Ha foolish girl, that toddler told you all the story of how Hiei couldn't love...now because of your selfishness you will die...but before I kill you, Hiei will be the one to die!" A voice shouted as a shadowy figure threw a massive energy ball at Hiei. "H-Hiei!" Botan yelled as she ran over to him. "It's too late." He said as he crept over her and had formed another ball.~* Just before she got hit she woke up.

"It was just a dream." Botan said as she flopped back down onto the bed. She tried going back to sleep, but no matter how much she denied it she was terrified. She always was ever since she got that note that the demons would be looking for her first. 'Suck it up Botan it was just a dream..' She thought as she twisted and turned in her bed. She finally gave up and sighed as she walked into Hieis room.

Hiei couldn't sleep either, with his eyes closed so it appeared he was sleeping, he was too deep in thought to even notice the door open. She walked up to him and slightly tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped a bit then looked at Botan. "Damn it Botan don't do that!" He told her a bit shaken. He stopped moving when he saw the look of fear in her eyes. "What is it?" He asked her.

"I-I had a really bad dream...Jurenju had killed you, and he was about to kill me to but then I woke up." Botan said as she held back a few tears. "You ok?" He asked her. "No." She said as she shook her head. "I couldn't go to sleep after that..can I sleep with you..?" She asked nervously as she twiddled her thumbs. She looked up to see the look of shock on his face. "What?" He asked her. "No not like that!" Botan said as she put her hands up defensively.

"I meant can I sleep in your bed with you...I'd feel a lot safer." Botan told him. "Alright." He said. "Thanks!" Botan said as she hopped into his bed and pulled the covers over herself. "Goodnight." She said as she kissed him and quickly fell asleep feeling a lot safer now that Hiei was so close to her. 'Night onna.' Hiei thought as he finally drifted off to sleep.
