"Get back here Onna!" Hiei yelled

"Ap, that's Miss Onna to you, fire boy." Botan boldly shouted over her shoulder. She ran back to the hotel as fast as she could, she knew that she would never be able to outrun Hiei so she stopped to hide. It was as if someone was reading her mind because she felt herself being pulling in to a bush,

"Sorry miss, but I overheard your little game." came a cute voice "you can hide here." he said

"Thanks." Botan said thinking nothing of that fact that a stranger was helping her.

"No problem." he says

"Onna?" Hiei looked around, "there is no way you could have outran me, where are you hiding. Don't make me use my Jagan." he said

"I guess he wins." Botan said. Botan 'rescuer' flinched when he heard the word Jagan but Botan ignored it,

"Farewell lovely lady." he said and Botan jumped out of the bush and ran into Hiei.

"Oops," Botan backed up and dusted herself off. When she looked for her rescuer he was gone. She shrugged it off and turned back to Hiei.

"Hn. Foolish Onna." Hiei said taking a step toward Botan.

"Heh heh now Hiei, you wouldn't harm a woman would you?" Botan wrinkled her nose at what she said 'dumb question, this is Hiei I'm talking about here.' she thought

"That depends." he answered

"On what?" She asked him

"On what she did to me in the first place." he said and picked her up.

"Hey put me down." She yelled and in a flash she felt Hiei running.

"Is that what you really want?" he asked her

"Yes." she said. Hiei smirked as he dropped her into the pool once more. "Hiei! You rotten...rotten boy." She yelled

"You look good wet." he smirked

"Shut up." she said

"Now Hiei that's not nice" came an annoying voice, well annoying to Hiei.

"Star! Help me Hiei is crazy."

"I know, he gets that way sometimes when he doesn't get his afternoon nap." she said threateningly.

"Hn." he said and vanished

"I hate it when he does that, you never now where he will show up...it's..." Botan said

"Creepy, Nerve-racking, Sends a chill down your spine..." Star began naming things

"Okay Star point taken." you asked and paused "Where is Kurama?"

"Said something about a demon running around..." her face dropped as she realized what that meant.

"And he told you this when?" Botan asked

"Only a moment ago."

"And this is just now catching up to you?" She asked "Lets get back to the room, I'm sure Kurama is fine, besides it's been a long day.

Star and Botan made their way to the room Knocked on the door waiting for an answer. One hammered Shizuru opened the door.

"Hey," she said

"Sis, I think you need to get some sleep." Kuwabara yawned "I guess we all do." he said and collapsed on Yusuke who was holding cards in his hands, the cards flew up in the air. "Damn it Kuwabara, I had a royal flush." Yusuke shoved Kuwabara and he landed on his face.

"Mommy, I want a cookie." Kuwabara said as his face made contact with the carpet.

"Baka." came a dark voice.

"Hiei!" Star exclaimed "have you seen Kurama?" Star asked him and everyone stopped to look at her

"Wasn't he with you?" Yusuke asked

"He was but now I can't find him." she said

"How do you lose a person?" Kayko asked her

"Calm down." Yusuke blurted as the door opened and Kurama stepped through. "There he is."

Kurama paused when he saw everyone looking at him "did I miss something?" he asked

"How dare you go and fight a demon by yourself." Star yelled

All eyes were now on Kurama. "It was a minor problem, Koenma..."

"Oh no, I will not let him mess with my vacation again." Yusuke interrupted

"Don't worry, that was it. A small mission really." Kurama said and sat down on a bed.

"Well, I'm going to bed." Yusuke said

"Me too." Kayko and Yukina said and went to the next room.

Hiei vanished, "what do we do with Kuwabara?" Botan asked

"Leave him there to dream about mom's cookies." Shizuru asked

"Nah," Botan and Shizuru dragged the cookie-loving orange-head to a bed, leaving Star and Kurama alone.

"Hey! Kurama just fought a demon and you don't care." Star yelled

"Be quite Star." Yusuke yelled

"Don't worry Star, it was nothing," Kurama said

"Yeah well, don't do 'nothing' by yourself again." she said and sat next to him.

Botan walked back in with a look of pain in her eyes, she was holding her stomach.

"Botan, my sister, are you alright" Kurama said and stood up

"Yeah, fine." She lied "I just need some air." She said and left the room. She made it to the elevator, some one was holding it for her "thank you." Botan said when she stepped in.

"Don't recognize me do you?" the guy asked.

Botan looked him up and down, long aqua-green hair and amethyst eyes. He was tall but not too tall all in all he was one hell of a sexy bich (sorry habit) guy. "Sorry I don't know." Botan said

"Well I don't suppose you would it was dark after all."

"The guy from the bush." She smiled

"That's right. So where are you headed?" he asked

"Just out for a walk." Botan said

"Odd, I was going to do the same thing ( 0.o?) Well would you like some company?" he asked

"Sure." Botan said as the elevator stopped at the lobby.
