Chapter: *~*L.*~*

Hiei stared at her from the shadows of the room, he thought he had seen her move. Just as he thought that, Botan moved to her side, her eyes opening and closing, having a battle over to sleep or to not. Just then she must have not realized that she had almost been raped a few hours ago. She sat up and blinked a few times, wondering why she wasn't lying on the alley floor, beaten, raped and bloody. Finally Hiei submerged from the shadows to confront her.

"I'm leaving..." Was all he said before he turned to the door.

"Hiei?!" Botan was to stunned to say anything else, why was Hiei in HER house?

"What am I doing here........what are you doing here.....what are we doing here.......how did I get in here?!" Hiei just looked at her marveled at how she was bursting with questions.

"First, you live here, second, I was sent here by Koenma to help you unpack, and third I was just leaving." She glared at him and squeaked, "You didn't answer how I got here!" And with that, Hiei was gone in an instant. Botan just sighed and thought she would try to go back to sleep and find answers in the morning.

~*~*~*~Hiei somewhere*~*~*~

Hiei bolted out the door as fast as he could, not wanting to answer Botan's last question. He also felt his cheeks get warm, cheeks as the turned a light pink. "....damn...." He muttered to himself. "I hope I got out as fast as I could before she could see anything...." After that, his mind seemed to travel back, to a few hours ago, when he had come to Botan's rescue.

~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~

Hiei had just sliced and diced the assailants, and had walked cooly towards a very frightened Botan. He looked her in the face so she could see who he was, and be a little less frightened, until she passed out. He sighed, undid the ropes, untied the cloth that covered her mouth and lifted her onto his back. (A/N: Just think Inuyasha-Kagome style) He disappeared, and in an instant was outside Botan's new home. He walked silently to her bedroom, and laid her atop her bed. He was a little disappointed he got there so soon, he actually kinda liked the warmth of the ferry girl on his back. He decided he would stay there until Botan awoke.

~*~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~

Hiei thought about the night and thought to himself, 'why did I stay with the stupid ferry onna?!' Then deep down, inside himself he heard the answer, '..........because you love her.....' Hiei thought about the answer that was given to him, until he finally understood the true meaning of the word. His ruby eyes went gentle, and he smiled faintly, gave out a little laugh, and said to himself, "Love." And with that he had disappeared into the night.
