Chapter seventeen: My Frustration...My Love....
Botan moaned in pain... her head. It felt like she'd gotten hit by an army of bricks. She squinted her eyes open. "Wha-what happened...?" She gazed around herself.
Ruble. She was surrounded by a large, no... a huge pile of ruble, it used to be that club. She looked upwards finding the sun just ascending over the horizon.
Then suddenly everything came back to her. The club, that man-well Demon... and then the-the fire.
Wait where was Shizuru! Was she alright!? Botan pushed on a rock and lifted herself up, her legs were a bit shaky and bruised but otherwise she was fine.
"Shi-Shizuru?" Nothing.
It was completely horrific, severed Demon limbs lying about, and burnt to a crisp. "Shizuru!?" Her calls became more frantic.
Was she hurt? Was she-dead? Then a muffled sound came a little more then twenty feet away. Immediately Botan popped to life.
Shizuru! It had to be her... Botan saw a lot of moving and quaking under the broken building, she dove forward digging through the rocks.
"Shizuru!?" Botan gasped in surprise or was it relief, Shizuru looked fairly ok, except for a few bruises and blood caked to her hazel tresses from where the large Demon had thrown her into the wall.
Botan grabbed her friends arm tightly. "Cumin is under me..." Shizuru spoke quietly and maybe a bit urgently.
Botan nodded, eyes narrowing in determination as she pulled and yanked her friend from the confining structure.
Shizuru stumbled forth and steadied herself, turning slightly Botan and Shizuru dug even deeper, until an unconscious Cumin came in sight.
They worked together and grabbed onto his arms, dragging out. He feel into Shizuru as both girls sat, trying to regain their stolen breath.
Botan gazed towards the rising sun, sky becoming an array of different colors such as: yellows, oranges, pinks, and light blue with, lavender.
"Botan... are you alright?" Questioned Shizuru, the Deity blinked out of her stupor and turned to the tall woman.
"Yes I think so... but what-what happened here?" Shizuru looked surprised by the question at first then answered in a shaky and trying to be calm tone.
"You... your eyes, before I became fully unconscious I saw your eyes... they were becoming red. Then the flames as a response starting to grow into a dragon and destroyed everything.
Botan gasped lightly and for the first time since she had awakened noticed she was garbed in Hiei's cloak.
"It's because Botan and Hiei are connected." Came a new voice, this one clearly belong to a red haired fox.
"Kurama?" Inquired the Deity.
"What do you mean they're connected?" Said Shizuru quite unfazed by his sudden appearance. Kurama tilted his head eyeing the whole sene before him.
"Botan was able to tap into the power of Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flame..." Botan almost fell down, even though she was already sitting.
"What!? That's impossible!"Cried the Deity, Shizuru looked shocked as well. "No it's not... the possibility's are endless to a certain extant, I do know that only a few handfuls of any species is capable of this... and the connection shall strengthen when he has bitten you."
Shizuru smirked, where as Botan was blowing a gasket. "What do you mean bite me!?" Kurama chuckled slightly and patted Botan on the back.
"When you complete your mission, and then he'll bite." Botan blushed ferociously. "Why biting and what will it do?"
Kurama smiled lightly. "When he bites you, that means he's claimed you for his own, you will belong to him."
If it was even possible Botan turned the deepest shade of red that Shizuru had ever seen. "What!? I'm not some possession!"
Kurama shook his head in dismissal. "Not in the terms if possession, merely being his mate. Like one being married to another."
Shizuru looked down at Cumin brushing a strand of his chocolate hair from his forehead. "So Botan here, has this mission to prove that she loves him or...?"
Kurama answered steadily. "A mission to show that he can love and will love." Botan clutched at the black material which surrounded herself.
"I think we should go before people come and start asking questions." Kurama and Shizuru nodded in agreement, then began to pick up Cumin.
"So I take it there are no other survivors then...?" Shizuru looked away sadly, Botan was walking behind them not even paying attention.
She had felt him surround her. Yet he wasn't even there, so how...?
They were connected, that's why... his flames... his power. It had protected her... but she didn't want that.
She wanted "him" to protect her.
She wanted "him" to surround her.
"Him" to consume everything with his flames.
Yusuke kept his gaze on the cake. That's all he was doing. Keiko gritted her teeth at her Fiancé, she was setting up decorations for the party that day.
And all "he" was doing was staring at the cake, not even helping. "You could help you know." He shrugged and went over to a table opening a can of coke.
"Yeah so..." Big mistake. Very-very "big" mistake. "Yusuke Urameshi get your butt over here and help! Now." She spoke the last part in a slow threatening manner.
Keiko watched with much satisfaction, as he dashed over to help with the tray of orderves she held in her right hand.
"You're such a slave-driver." He mumbled incoherently, and Keiko had heard. "Quit complaining it was your idea in the first place. So I don't have to anything."
Yusuke flinched as she spoke in her mad voice. "Yes 'dear'." He grumbled with sarcasm. Keiko smacked his arm and went into the kitchen with a huff.
Botan jogged down the sidewalk, panting. If she didn't hurry she'd be late for the party.
The whole gang would be there: Kurama and Shiori, Shizuru and her friend Cumin, Koenma and George, Yukina and Kuwabara along with Yuki, Yusuke and Keiko, Touya and Jin.
But would "he" be there as well...?
Everyone was inside Yusuke and Keiko's house: eating, drinking, talking, and...horsing around.
"Jin that's enough, you've already had thirty-five."
Jin pouted stubbornly, glaring at Touya. "Lightn' ap it's onle cupcaks!!" Keiko glanced over and found that the wind-master was jumping up and down throughout the room, very-very hyper.
"Look's like Jin is on a sugar-high." Giggled a familiar voice, everyone turned around to see Botan entering the room.
"Ah Lassie!!" Chirped a grinning Jin, he came up next to her and then suddenly backed away frightened.
"Ia!" He whimpered hiding behind Touya, Botan tilted her head in confusion. "...Um... is he ok?" She asked blinking.
"Tha Lass, is..." He walked out of the room as if he'd seen a ghost, Touya rose a brow then continued conversing with Yukina, Yuki was settled in her lap, holding a little brown kitten.
Botan looked about the room seeing Yusuke and Kuwabara arm wrestling, Koenma and George were betting on who'd win.
Keiko was in the kitchen with Shiori, Kurama was having a pleasant talk with Cumin and Shizuru sat on a couch eyeing the boy's little match while taking a long drag of her cigarette.
And... He-he wasn't there.
She should've known, her head was bowed when she walked passed, going out the sliding glass door to the back yard.
He wasn't there...
And it hurt very badly...
Kurama frowned when he saw Botan. So much had happened to her in the past week, and there was nothing he or anyone else could do to heal her pain.
Except maybe the cause of it.
Why was she always acting this way?
It was so stupid...
And she was... she was crying again.
Stupid.
Why.
Botan sniffed wiping the tears away.
It was painful.
And it was -
It was love...
She should always cherish that.
But was it her fault!?
Hell no!
He was the one who always pushed her away!
He was the one who'd always be a jerk!
He was the one who always disappeared!
"Damn you Hiei Jaganshi once I find you I'll kick your ass!... Then I'll bring you into my and never let you go..." She blushed smiling bashfully.
Everyone blinked in surprise.
"Hey Urameshi did you spike the punch?" Questioned Kuwabara, as everyone stared at the blushing Deity.
"No of course not!"Growled Yusuke, he gulped when he felt a hand on his back. "You spiked the punch!?"
He winced. "No Keiko I swear I didn't."
"Yusuke!"
"Run buddy! Run!" Cried out Kuwabara, as Keiko began to chase her Fiancé all around the room.
"Ahh! Someone help me! She's crazy!"
Botan looked up at the Cherry Blossom trees in the backyard. A beautiful smiled splayed on her lips. "It's my mission. I'll find you. I'll love you, I want... I want to bear your children too."
"And there's nothing that can stop me from my mission." She cried, perfect spheres rolling down her cheeks.
But these tears weren't of sadness, weren't of hate, they were of love, of determination.
"You are my frustration, and you are my love."
