Butterfly Kisses And Strawberry Sweet Snow...
Here you go! Number eight...
P.S.
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho... or the recipe for Devils Food Cake...
Chapter eight: Baking Cakes...
Botan groaned rolling over onto her stomach, trying to rid herself of that horrible light. She hoped she wouldn't hurt Hiei in doing so... wait-Hiei!!
She sat up immediately, looking around left to right. He wasn't any where to be seen, but she was on the floor in the living room. Where had he gotten too?
"Up here woman." Came the familiar dry and crisp voice, gazing upward she found her charge laying on the sill as usual, not paying her any heed.
"Hiei?" She asked blinking repeatedly, the light. It was so strong. "Hn." She just kept staring at him, as if any moment he'd disappear she couldn't even figure out why either.
"Don't stare woman, it's quite rude." Yep, it was Hiei all right. Suddenly a shrill sound came from her bedroom.
"The phone!" with that she stood, quickly running for the annoying thing. Hiei simply shook his head.
Botan burst through the door and jumped onto the bed, reaching over the to answer in a frenzy. "Hello!?"
"Hi Keiko!" Botan smiled.
"Really no rain today, when?"
"Sure I'd love to go!"
"Alright, see you then. Bye!!"
Hanging up the phone Botan headed out of her room.
Hiei glared, he did not like that grin on her face one bit. She was up to something... Botan approached him, looking down.
"Hiei? Keiko and Yusuke are going on a picnic by the large lake at the park." She said not even stealing him a glance. "Hn. So?"
Botan looked up, amethyst eyes all sad and pleading. "Can we go with them?" He bristled. It was one damned thing after another. "No."
He spoke sharply and clearing wanting her to be aware of his displeasure. He knew that behind the goofy facade Botan was still frail, still in shock.
Botan pouted, lips puckered and brows furrowed. "Fine then, but I'm still going." She tried to act brave, tried to hide it from him, but deep down she felt the fear of being outside alone.
...And Hiei knew, he could see right through her without even using his Jagan Eye. "Hn. Fine." He scowled, blood boiling in anger, he was so sick of this!
Botan grinned happily, again she had triumphed over him! "Then we should start cooking the cake!" Stopping Hiei gave her his most withering glare.
No he refused! There wasn't a single damn thing she could do to make him!
Damn her. Damn the world. Damn Yusuke ad Keiko. Damn sweet snow. Damn everything. Damn it all to hell! Hiei fumed silently, as he stood next to Botan in the kitchen.
His form clad in a-in a peach-frilled apron. Damn the apron too. Botan smiled to herself.
"...one and a fourth cup buttermilk... one and a half cup shortening... three eggs... three squares unsweetened chocolate, melted... one and a half teaspoons baking soda... one teaspoon salt... one teaspoon vanilla extract... half a teaspoon double-acting baking powder... and that's it."
She finished satisfactorily. Now all that was needed to do, was put it in the oven. Botan turned around to her cooking partner, his face smeared white from all the flower and many other ingredients'.
She muffled her laughter with the sleeve of her sweater, biting down on it hard. He was- he looked so funny, and adorable!
Botan blinked at the last thought, her cheeks warming. "Hiei...? I think you need a bath." He sulked, he saw her trying to hide her laughter.
"Hn."
Botan noticed for the first time that on his nose was a small drop of cake dough. She stepped closer to him, watching his every move.
She stepped up on her tippytoe's, and swiped away the drop with her finger, sliping it into her mouth.
She wasn't really even paying heed to much of it, she and Keiko would that all the time, it just became second nature every time she cooked with someone.
Hiei stared at her back, for once he was shocked completely in a stupor. She'd-she'd, her breasts'! They'd accidently... pressed against his chest.
Shaking his head he turned on his heal, "Where're you going?" She questioned when she turned and found him walking away.
"None of your business." With that he disappeared down the hall.
He was sure moody today, like he wasn't that any day. Botan leaned against the counter, her face becoming solemn.
Memories of the other night drifted through her mind, how he'd changed her and saw her stark naked, except for her panties.
Blood rushed to her cheeks immediately, she rubbed her hands together.
What did he think of her?
Ugly?
Pretty?
Or, maybe even beautiful...?
There you go! I gave you three chappy's, (I could've been mean and did nothing, but no. I am a good person, I gave you what you wanted)... I wasn't even planning on it, but the hurricane has slowed down. So nothing really happened today. Tomorrow however will be a different story. I'll try to put up another then too. I hope you guys liked it. Please tell me if I made Hiei out of character, and if he is he'll be normal in the next chapter. Love you!!
Byeness!!
