Chapter III: Promise.
General's P.O.V
Botan was panting for breathe. She dodged every assault he threw at her. She wanted to stop so badly but she knew that he wouldn't let her quit. Not until she got it right. They had been training since noon and it was almost five now. He's been trying to teach how to anticipate her opponent's moves. So far she failed miserably. She hadn't been able to concentrate on her training and Hiei refused to give up.
Botan's P.O.V
Oh! Kami, every bone in my body ached. I feel so tired not from pain but from lack of sleep. I'm afraid to fall asleep because I think I'm going to have this dream again. I hope Hiei would sleep over tonight. Maybe if he's with me, I might get some sleep.
Since we've been dating, I became to depend so much on him. It actually feels good having someone you can count on. He's such a wonderful person. I don't know what I'll do if anything happen to him. Oh! God, here I go again.
General's P.O.V
So lost in thought that she was, she totally forgot that they were training. She didn't acknowledge his attack until it was too late. The sharp blade of his katana cut through her delicate skin. She cried out in pain.
"Focus" he said.
"I can't."
"You have too. Now try again."
"Can we stop just for a minute, please?"
He eyed her cut and sighted. He knew that they had to heal her wound. He put his katana back into his sheath and lowered to the ground next to her.
"Let see your arm."
The cut was long but thankfully it wasn't deep. He used his youki and healed her. She profited of their proximity to crawled on his laps. He took her in his arms and rocked her back and forth like a baby. `
Hiei's P.O.V
Something was wrong. She looked so tired and pale. She hadn't been able to concentrate on her training at all today. She acted like she was preoccupied with something.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing."
I didn't believe her. One, her answer was a little too quick for my liking and two she moved away from me. Not that I want to accuse her but I know she was lying to me.
"Don't lie to me."
"Then stop reading my mind."
"I'm not and it's not like you're giving me any other choice. You won't even tell me what's bothering you. How the hell am I suppose to know what's wrong."
"And what makes you think something's bothering me if you're not reading my mind?"
"I can see it in your face."
As an answer, she turned away from me again.
"Tell me what's wrong." I urged her gently.
Botan's P.O.V
Tell him what's wrong? I can't tell what's wrong. I can't tell him about my dreams. I can't tell him that I saw him dying in my arms. I can't tell him that his blood was in my hands, on my face. Oh! Kami, this hurt so much. This dream is driving me insane.
"Botan, please tell me what's hurting you?"
"I can't."
"Of course, you can."
"I can't, okay."
Oh! God, I just yelled at him. I've never yell at him. Not once during those six months we've been dating. I can't look at him now. I feel so guilty.
"It was only a dream." He said.
"But it felt so real."
I could the tears running down my cheeks. I felt his hands on my face whipping away the tears. I told him all about my dream. I cried the whole time. When I was done it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. He dried my face with his fingers and whispered to me.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be here with you."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
Come to think of it I felt pretty stupid now. I can't believe I got so work up over a dream. God, he must think I'm an idiot. I think I'm an idiot.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
General's P.O.V
Hiei took her home and left soon after. Botan decided to take a bath to relax her muscles. She soaked in it for about twenty minutes. Once she was done, she made herself a salad which she ate heartedly. She then settled down for nap.
When she woke up it was already nightfall. She blinked her eyes to adjust to the darkness. The first thing she noticed was a bare-chested Hiei sitting on the window-sill. His hands behind his head, eyes closed, and his feet were crossed at his ankles. The moonlight illuminated his perfectly sculpted body. She blushed at the thoughts that were running in her mind. She silently got off the bed.
Hiei's P.O.V
I woke up as soon as I heard her move. I opened my eyes to see her coming toward me. Oh! Kami, she's so sexy. Our eyes met and I saw her smile. The witch! She knew what she was doing to me. Moving like that. I turned around so my back was facing the street and my front wads to her. She stepped between my legs and I hugged her to me. Her scent immediately invaded my senses. I laid my head on her chest and felt her heart-beat.
"I'm going to Mekai tomorrow." He said.
"Why?"
"I have something to retrieve for Koenma."
"What is it?"
"It's a box. I'm not sure what's in it though."
"Can I come?"
"Sure, the whole gang is going."
She felt quiet and I didn't care really. I was just glad that she was here. She didn't look afraid anymore which was a good thing. I raised my head and looked at her. God! She's beautiful. Without hesitation, I kissed her and she answered back. I let my hands wandered over her body until she was moaning. I didn't want to wait. I wanted to love her now. I took her in my arms and carried her to bed.
Author's note: I said that I would only add two more chapters to the story but I lied. There's one more chapter coming and I should have it up by next Monday. So keep posted and don't forget to review. Please and thank you. ~_~
