Butterfly Kisses and Strawberry Sweet Snow...

Hello Everyone I had just enough time to put another chapter up, and I'm happy! So without further ado, read on.

P.S.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho...

Chapter five: Warmth...


Botan moaned feeling warm. Oh so very warm. Cracking one eye open then the other, her vision at first, was blurry and unfocused, but steadily cleared.

She blinked finding it very bright, and also noticed that she was on the couch. The reason for her warmth came from the maroon blanket that was covering her.

How did that get there? She hadn't put it there... could it have been...Hi-No!

He wouldn't do that. Shaking her head, she sat up, glanced at her watch; it read ten-thirty a.m., Botan's eyes widened. "Man. I must've slept for a long time." She croaked.

"Hn. ...And you snore too." Came an amused tone with hints of dry sarcasm, Botan whirled around finding Hiei, in his usual spot by the window.

"I do not!" She retaliated heatedly, blushing embarrassedly; his knowing smirk was all she got in return.

"Well I don't." Muttering to herself, she stood and began to stretch out the kinks and knots in her aching muscles. "Hiei...? I'm going to take a shower, after that we'll leave to go shopping."

His glare was fierce, crimson orbs flashing haughtily. Botan however was already heading to the bathroom. "Damn woman is going to enjoy my torture."

He hissed, looking back out the window. Yes it would be torture; he remembered the horrified looks Yusuke would carry when he'd be finished with one of those "shopping trips" with Keiko.

Now that "stupid woman" wanted to drag him around as well.

"Hn. Damn woman."


Botan stuck her hand into the rain of water, checking for the, just temperature, finding it warm she stepped in.

Immediately a low moan escaped her lips, it felt so well! She grabbed her shampoo, squirting it into her wet palms, then dipped her soapy fingers threw cerulean locks, and began a light scrubbing.

Only by routine could she do this so absentmindedly, while her thoughts ventured elsewhere. "Hiei..."

He was actually being a decent person to be around, yet so cold. She could remember being told about his past. It was a wonder he wasn't insane.

"How could I make him... less frigid?" She murmured tapping her chin, maybe being nice to him...but wouldn't he worry about betrayal?

For it has happened to him before, that's why he's always...well, the way he is.

Nodding, she knew what she'd have to do. Show him with your actions than words. "I'll help you Hiei. So don't worry. You're not alone." Smiling brightly, Botan rinsed her hair.

Time to hurry up, and get to the mall.


Stepping out of the steaming bathroom Botan came to her closet, she rummaged through the clothes until coming onto one of her favorite outfits Keiko had helped her pick out.

It was a light green tank top, and a light pastel skirt, embroidered on the skirt were vines with small silver buds.

She grinned at her reflection in the mirror, twirling about, and relinquishing the feel of the skirt lightly brushing against her smooth creamy skin.

Hiei might like it... She just couldn't wait to get him into a tuxedo, biting her bottom lip; she tried desperately to quell her on coming giggles.

Afraid the good-hearing fire demon, would know of her wondering thoughts. She grinned mischievously, grabbing a brush and gently gliding it into her soft waves of sky blue.

She continued this motion for a few seconds longer, and then flung the brush onto her bed. It bounced lightly, wrinkling her comforter.

"One night down and..." Counting the rest with her fingers, she answered her own question. "Six more to go."

Botan shuffled to her door and picked up one pair of sandaled high heels, the color of white silver. Lightly pushing the door open she walked into the hall, till she came to the living room.

Where Hiei was standing in a corner by the door, patiently waiting, she cocked her head slightly, making her appear like a confused puppy.

Hiei looked bored, his eyes a dull blood color. "Hn. You're slow woman." It was simple and dry, Botan huffed angrily, why did he always have to be that way...?

It was a dumb question, considering she already knew the answer. She yanked at her coat on the couch, stuffing her arms through the sleeve holes, Hiei rolled his eyes at her, action, women annoying as hell, could be quite amusing; he just loved to plucked and probe at her nerves.

"Come on Hiei. We better get to the mall before it starts to rain." And with that said, Botan opened the front door, and watched as buckets of water poured to the ground.


THE END...


Just kidding!!


She was not having the best day. The rain was only coming down harder and harder. "Guess we can no longer go." Said Hiei in relief, but he would not get off that easily.

"We are going. The problem is, how were going to get there...?" frowning Hiei knew that if he wanted to get this over with it would be now, so coming up behind Botan he whispered into her ear quietly.

"Woman? Get onto my back." Botan shivered, chewing on her lip frantically, a moan of pleasure curled at the pit of her stomach.

Until the realization of what Hiei had just said hit her like a brick wall. "Wha-what! You-you lecherous-"

He silenced her by shifting to the front of her. "Hn. You have three options, one: you get on my back and go without getting too wet...two: go and get completely soaked... and finally, third: We just don't go at all."

He was not in the mood for her whining; Botan blinked pondering over the options given to her.

She sighed in defeat. "Ok, I'll get onto your back." So, timidly moving forward she wrapped her arms about his neck gingerly, and yelped in surprise when he placed is hand under her thigh, gently lifting her up onto his back.

"Watch it mister." She scolded. Hiei shrugged not at all intimidated, he closed the door and looked around, seeing that they were several stories up, he quickly bended his legs.

Thrusting upwards, and jumped onto the roof of the building next to theirs, and ran across it, he picked up momentum and leapt up, sailing towards another roof top.

Botan clutched onto his neck harder, eyes scrunched closed; her heart was beating faster and faster.

"Hn. Open your eyes woman, you will not fall." Though his words were a tad on the harsh side they were still reassuring.

Slowly she let on fall open, and then quickly the other; Botan was used to heights and going fast in the air, it was when her life was in another person's hands, that she became frightened.

Quietly watching the landscape around them, they steadily neared the mall, its side coming into view.

A heady scent wafted to her nose, it smelled like... exotic spices and...cinnamon, hypnotized Botan absently sniffed, to find the smell.

Until her nose, led her to Hiei's nape, taking a low whiff she shuddered, realizing that's exactly where the smell had come from.

It was Hiei's own scent!! It was rather intoxicating, his smell, closing her eyes gently, she snuggled deeper into Hiei's nape, as an escaped sigh lingered at her lips.


Hiei growled, he had felt and sensed every little thing she did. It made his blood boil! From anger or lust he wasn't quite sure.

Being its capability to be lust wasn't too surprising. He was indeed a male after all, but this was that "damned woman"!

The bubbly, air-headed, clumsy, and-and innocent little deity... Hiei frowned at his wandering thoughts. "I'm going insane."

He muttered under his breath, glaring at anything he could see. Hiei soon noticed, by the sound of her breathing, that she'd fallen asleep. On his back!!??

Stopping, he began to shift his back, trying to wake the sleeping girl. "Hn. Wake up." Botan whimpered lightly, rubbing her eyes with one hand. "Wha... Hiei."

She mumbled, then noticed that they were at the edge of a roof, an alleyway below them. "Hn. Should we drop here?" Botan blinked her large amethyst eyes. "Um, yes."

With that said, he curled his arm around, pulling her off his back.

Then with Botan's utter surprise and horror, she watched as he let go causing her to fall down towards the alley's hard concrete ground. "Ahhh!!" she shrieked, closing her eyes, immediately at the last second a flash of black appeared caught her in its arms.

"Hn. Stupid woman, you scare to easy." Botan shook violently from fright, clutching at his cloak desperately.

He smirked cockily, then plucked her from his form and set her to the ground, slightly walking away. "Hiei you jerk that wasn't funny!!" She fumed, regaining all her senses.

"Hn. I found it quite amusing." She got up; neck and cheeks flushed, and began after him on shaky legs. "Meanie." She glared sticking her tongue out at his retreating back.

"Hn."
