Botan looked out the window and began to feel sick. Her headache had returned for what seem to be the millionth time. Hiei could sense that something was off key but he could not figure it out. He watched her closely for a hint but it would not come.
"Oh my, Look how high we are." she swallowed hard and looked away only to look back. Botan could not bring herself to face Hiei. 'I'm being a weak and stupid girl.' Botan thought.
"Onna?" Hiei asked her.
"Hey don't worry." Botan would tell them about the Ferry cycle but she did not know fully what it was. Just then a loud thud came from the Plain causing her to jump up and land on Hiei's lap.
"Sorry." Botan said and tried to get back to her seat but Hiei held her to him. "Let go," she said in a playful voice
"I don't know...should I?" Hiei looked in the air in thought
"Yes you should or I'll..." he held her fast.
"You'll what?" he asked
"I'll...I won't kiss you anymore." she said and looked away.
"Oh, really..." Hiei hooked a finger under her chin and made her face him. "I don't think you can do that."
"Yes I can." she did not look at him, her eyes were held shut.
"Look at me." he said
"No."
"Hey is that a puppy?" Hiei said and Botan opened her eyes
"Where?" oops she looked into his red eyes and melted as he came closer. "No you can't...I told you that if you did not let me go then..." his lips crashed into hers and she was powerless to stop him. She kissed him back and Hiei knew that he had won. He let her go.
"Hn." he licked his lips and grinned
"You..." Botan had to catch her breath.
"What? You kissed me back. You lose." he said
"Alright, you win but please let me go," she did not really want to leave him but she could not face him for she feared the most important part of the Ferry cycle...would he love her after this? She could not tell him...
Hiei let her go and time went by, Botan fell asleep as the plane grew darker. Hiei watched her sleep wondering what she was hiding. She did not seem to be her normal bubbly self. He felt her suffering in the kiss they had shared.
"She is keeping something from us." came a voice.
"Kurama." Hiei said.
"Give her some time. I'm sure she'll be fine."
"She should trust us enough to tell us anything." Hiei said darkly
"Well we can't force her..." Star, was awake and looking around for Kurama "good night Hiei. "Kurama ran off to the other side of the plane to sit by Star.
"What was that about?" Star asked "is Botan okay?" she asked
"I don't know."
"Maybe all she needs is this vacation" Star said hopefully
"Perhaps." Kurama said

The plane landed in Florida after about ten hours for a refueling, the group had to wait for an hour before boarding again. The plane then left for seven hours to the island of Oahu.
Kurama and the others went to baggage claim while Yusuke and Kuwabara found a bus stop. There at the bus stop everyone waited.
"So where are we going from here?" Shizuru asked
"The Hale Koa Hotel." Kurama answered "we have two rooms next to each other." he said
"Ooh a Hotel. Cool." Kayko said
Then a black and yellow bus pulled up with the words The Bus printed on the side.
"How long do you think it took them to come up with The Bus for the name of a company?" Kuwabara asked
Everyone looked at the luggage and the bus driver glared at them, closed the door and drove off. "People in Hawai'i sure are friendly." Yusuke said sarcastically.
"Now what?" Kuwabara asked and heard the rind of a bell. An empty trolley pulled up.
"Eh bra lookin' for one kine ride?" the local man asked
"Yes." Kurama said (they speak English as a second language.)
So on the Hotel then went...vacation of fun and doom...
