Butterfly Kisses And Strawberry Sweet Snow....

I'M SO SORRY!!! I didn't mean to confuse you! Ok...um... Basically Hiei couldn't understand what emotions he was feeling... cause he had a really bad past, right? So, uh...um... the pillar of flames, or tower of flames, was him losing control of his emotions or thoughts, because he was so confused and so on, and he's never had someone so intimate with him, before. Ah... about Botan laughing uncontrollably, uh... well she's just feeling these weird feelings for him, and the like, (Oh gods I'm confusing myself..) And I still have a lot well, a bit more to go until the story is over, remember on the summary how it says "How will they handle the WHOLE week together"? And Botan is acting weird cause she's... well it will explain itself further on, and the thing that wouldn't heal was his right arm... because... you'll figure it eventually, please be patient with me! I'm trying so hard... (sob-sob!) Oh, I've decided to do a sequel, but only when this is over and no... they won't express their feelings for each other, only in the sequel... (whew!) If you have anymore questions then please write 'em out on your review... thank you and please move down and read!!

P.S.

I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho...

Chapter thirteen: New Mission...


Botan yawned blinking large pools of amethyst, the sun was bright and cheery, streaming its golden rays through the shoji screen...

Shoji screen!? Looking around quite alarmed, she noticed that a small form was curled up at her side.

She turned sharply, causing azure rivulets of hair to whip about. "Yukina...?" She whispered.

What the heck was going on!!?? Further examining her situation she noticed that not only was Yukina besides her, but Kurama stationed himself on a chair.

His arms folded over chest, head bowed and scarlet tresses pooled about his slightly feminine face.

Yusuke was laying flat on his stomach on a beige sofa, arm dangling to the floor, as drool dripping down his lip, as he snored rather loudly.

Kuwabara however wasn't much better off himself, as he stood, arms wrapped protectively around Yuki.

A little brown kitten sat atop his head, his snoring was boisterous like he was awake, and he also had drool dripping down his chin...

Was it safe for him to hold the baby like that? She sat up very carefully, not wanting to rouse the peacefully sleeping Ice Maiden.

Botan turned her attention to her right, finding Hiei under a mountain of blankets, his brows furrowed deeply, eyes scrunched together tightly.

Botan was so confused... But shoved that thought out of her. What had happened yesterday? All she could remember was her confrontation with the fire demon.

Then every running off into forest... after that everything was an unnameable blur.

Hiei seemed to be having a nightmare... her eyes softened immensely.

Slowly getting to her knees, she soundlessly crawled towards him, his body now thrashing about, lips pulled into a vicious snarl.

Botan immediately became concerned, her hand hesitantly reaching out and stroked his sweaty forehead.

His brows let lose and his body stilled, he no longer looked pained, yet relieved. She blinked, was that "her" affect on him?

"You both are linked." Came a soft voice to the right.

Botan moved to find the source of the voice, her eyes locking with his... Kurama's.

"What!? What do you mean...?" The confusion in her eyes, did not deter Kurama's explanation.

"Well, I wasn't sure at first, but now I know I can guarantee it... Hiei and you. Your souls are now linked together, connected."

Botan gaped at him. No way... that was impossible, wasn't it? As if reading her mind he spoke. "Yes it is very possible. You both would make compatible mates."

His eyes were gleaming mischievously, Botan glared heatedly. "Kurama quit teasing!"

He grinned, holding his hands up in defense. "I'm sorry..."

She huffed, then turned back to Hiei, her cheeks flushing a light rose hue. "So what happened yesterday, with you and him, to cause him to lose control, like that?"

Botan looked over her shoulder. "I-I don't really remember... when we went to the picnic with Yusuke and Keiko, me and him "talked" and then he disappeared, after that I don't remember anything."

Kurama nodded looking to be deep in thought. "Maybe, you love each other?"

Botan gasped finding her heart speed up tenfold. "Wha-no I couldn't. He wouldn't care and-and..."

He watched with keen interest, before continuing. "I think I understand now... He's in love with you and doesn't even know it."

A warm chuckle resounded from his lips to her ears, Botan frowned cheeks flaming red. "No that's impossible."

He lifted a brow. "Are you saying it's impossible for him to feel?" Botan shook her head. "No, just... he just couldn't love me."

Kurama sighed approaching the deity, resting a hand on her shoulder. "Why not? Why couldn't he love you?"

Tears swirled in her amethyst orbs sadly. "Look at me Kurama! I'm not beautiful, or refined or -or..."

He shushed her with a finger pressed to her lips.

"You are beautiful, and you may not be refined, but why would that matter... you have the heavy burden of death on your shoulders, yet through all of that, you're always trying to make people feel better, make them smile."

Botan looked up, showing off a great full smile. "Thank you Kurama." She murmured bashfully, he smiled patting her head.

"Anytime, but Botan... make it your mission to prove to Hiei that you love him, no matter how hard. He needs it."

Botan nodded, eyes set in hard determination, then she realized something. "Who says I love him!?"

Kurama merely smiled in return.

Then stood, heading back to his chair. Botan turned to Hiei... What!? He wasn't there! She looked over to the door.

It was left ajar.
