Akay, I was trying to give you give you guys as many hints as I could about Kurama being Botan's brother. Well now you know, so here's the next chapter.

Chapter 8: 4

After actually hearing Kurama admit the truth, Hiei smirked.

Kurama looked up at Hiei and blinked a few times before he said, "But....how did you know?"

Hiei snickered and said, "I knew all along kitsune. How could I not smell it. Your blood, has the exact same sent as hers."

Kurama smiled and lifted his head up, "But when?" Hiei smirked and began.

Flashback

The gang had just got back from another mission. Kurama bleeding from his arm and various places down his chest, and Botan with a slice across her chest, and a few scratches here and there. Yusuke, bleeding like a stuck pig, and Kuwabara with his face bruised and bloody.

Hiei, himself bleeding here and there, was gaging and trying to cover his nose from the scent of blood. But there were two scents of blood, exactly alike, but the strange thing was, the scent was Kurama's. He knew the scent of Yusuke's and Kuwabara's blood, even himself, and that only left Botan.

End of flashback

Kurama smirked, "I knew I couldn't keep it from you for ever. And there's something that you can't hide from me forever too Hiei."

Hiei scowled and snapped, "I have nothing to hide, kitsune!"

Kurama chuckled, "I already know Hiei, I just wanna hear you admit it. That the cold-hearted Hiei can actually......love. His best friends younger sister no less!" Kurama couldn't help but laugh harder.

Hiei scowled and stomped off, but no before being tripped by the root of a plant. He fell face first into an odd looking herb. The leaves were blue, and in the center they turned red, and each leaf added a part of red to the middle so that it formed.....a heart.

Kurama walked up behind Hiei and observed the plant. "THAT'S IT!!!!! IT'S THE KOIBIASHMARU HERB!!!!" Kurama shouted with joy as he plucked it and ran off in the direction of the others.

Kurama ran past the others, and in the direction of the portal. Hiei following behind him scooped Botan up and............stopped. He turned around to see Yukina, unconscious in the arms of Kuwabara.

She was pale as a ghost, about the same shade as Botan. His arms went limp as he dropped Botan. He shoved Shizuru aside as he grabbed Yusuke by the collar of his shirt and lifted him in the air.

Yusuke shrieking as Hiei shook him. "WHAT HAPPENED?!"

A panicked Yusuke answered, "AAH! I DON'T KNOW SHE JUST SAID SHE DIDN'T FEEL WELL AND FAINTED!!!"

Kurama popped up behind Yusuke, with Botan in his arms, "Hiei! What is the matter?!"

Hiei's crimson eyes glowed red as he punched Kurama right in the face, causing Kurama to drop Botan. (Again) Keiko, now an extremely pissed Keiko, screamed at the top of her lungs, "YOU GUYS ARE GONNA KILL BOTAN BEFORE THE FUCKING POISON DOES!!!!!!!!!" The fighting stopped and all eyes went to Keiko, her face beet red and she was huffing and puffing, about to kick some ass......until she straightened her skirt out and kneeled beside Botan. Keiko felt Botan's hand....and dropped it, she fell on her rear as she back away and......... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Eh, sorry, another cliff-hanger. ' I'll make sure to update soon!!!!
