My best friends girl
Yaysies! Another chapter! And I typed this one in three days! (not continuously) . The last one I wrote in a week and typed in three. I type super slow. In this chapter there's fluff and a pretty good bit! Why did I feel the urge to do Botan Hiei fluff I don't know! but I really like it so I hope you do to!
She's on a sugar high and has been on it for the whole week.
Hey! your Botans Little voice not mine. My little voice is named Bob!
Whatever.
Okay now that I got the stupidness out of my system I can apologize for the poor spelling in the last chapter. I'm so sorry! I'm going back and correcting all the mistakes in the Summary and first chapter. I think I got it all right in this chapter but if I didn't please tell me! Oh and thanks for not flaming me! And thanks for all the reviews! The list of names really helped ! Now I'm going to stop talking and let you read!
A/N - I don't know if I said it in the first chapter but Ukina ,Shizuru and Botan are all living in Genkai's temple. I'll explain how they got there later in one of the many flash backs. Regular P.O.V
My Best Friend's Girl
"Botan wake up" Ukina said barely raising her voice. She was standing over the ex-ferry girl's bed and staring down at the tangle of blankets and mass of blue hair that was Botan.
"Ukina ,honey, watch and learn." said Shizuru as she walked in to Botans room.
Carefully, Shizuru positioned herself next to what she assumed was Botans head and took a deep breath. "BOTAN! WAKE UP!" she bellowed into the blue harried girls ear.
It worked Botan shot up like a bullet "yelling where's the fire!"
"That did work well "Ukina said staring at Shizuru with wide eyes .
"You don't live with Kuwabarra and not learn how to wake up heavy sleepers." Shizuru relied with a smirk
Later at breakfast after Botan has recovered her hearing.
"So what are we doing today?" Botan asked digging into her bacon and eggs.
"The gangs coming over" Shizuru "Which means fighting, destruction, and general mayhem"
"Oh that'll be fun. We haven't all been together in for ever." Botan said cheerily.
BOTANS P.O.V
"ARGH!! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!"
"I'M NOT THAT BAD A PERSON!
"REALY I'M NOT!"
"MY LIFE IS TRASH!"
I was pacing the floor of my now ransacked room with my head turned up toward the heavens alternatively asking Enema what I had done to deserve this and screaming in to my pillow.
Okay I admit it I was having something between a hissy fit and a nervous break down. Hey, but for once I had a reason to lose it. Ever since my life changed from being a normal happy ferry girl, to being hunted by freaks that I don't even know ,who know one will tell me who they were including my ex-boss who I am sure knew something but wouldn't tell me, breaking up for no reason that I know of with the man I loved, dating his best friend and now having to spend the entire day with both is grounds for losing it. In the last year I have lost it several times.
"Hey Botan, are you okay?"
Shizuru had, apparently, heard me having my break down. Now I was going to have to explain my rooms now beyond torn up state to her. Fate hates me.
"I'm fine! Just blowing off a little steam" I said as cheerily as I could.
Sometimes I really wish I could stop being cheery and happy for one day and just be me. I never realized how dark and slightly insane I was until I met Hiei. After I had the...accident . But happy, and cheery is what everyone expects from me. The only people who really know how I really am is Hiei and Shiz.
"Yeah m mhm ,right. You just decided to trash your room and yell for fun. Not because Hiei is coming and so is Kurama.
This might be a good time to say that I have never been in the same room with both Kurama and Hiei for more than twenty minutes since Kurama and I began to date. Now see why I'm dreading this? Awkward much?
"Okay you caught me! I'm a little nervous" I said with a shrug.
"A little ?" she said surveying the room and my frazzled expression "This looks like world war three and so do you"
"Argh! I can't help it!"
"Why are you so nervous ? You are going out with an incredibly cute guy who adores you! I would be proud to show him off in front of my ex." She said moving things off my bed so she could sit down on it.
She can't do that because she's still in love with him
Oh for the love of God I actually thought you'd shut up for once.
Well that shows how slow you were.
"Um Botan your going in to lala land again" (A/N - that's what my second grade teacher used to say to me all the time. Oh and she also said "That time you ran into the air conditioner , are you sure he doctor said it didn't leave brain damage?" It didn't! Don't you agree? Why aren't you agreeing?!)
"Sorry been doing that a lot lately, I don't know Shiz. I wouldn't do that to Hiei." I said
She studied me in the ace for a minute then. Her eyes began to get wide then. Real wide.
"Oh my god, your still in love with him , aren't you?" She said suddenly.
Give the girl a cookie! Finally some one sees it!
I didn't even argue with myself I reacted so quickly. I went into panic mode major.
"Of course not Shizuru! Where would you get a crazy idea like that!" I yelled standing up off the bed and turning away from her so she couldn't see my eyes. If she had it would have totally given me away.
"Why didn't I see it before!" She said amazed "The way you look at him, the way...well you don't look at Kurama. It's always been there! And I say I have a sixth sense!"
"Just lay off of it Shiz! Okay? I added in a pleading tone.
"Wow he really hurt you didn't he?" She said as I turned around to look at her.
"Yes , can we please not talk about it?" I said desperately. I don't even want to admit my feelings to myself let alone Shizuru.
"Sure but you can't deny your feelings forever, Botan" She said.
Thank god she left after that.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
I don't know anymore
Your Agreeing with me for once ?! It is a miracle !
I'm leading Kurama on. I want to like him as much as Hiei I really do! But every time I'm with him I can't help but I remember Hiei and all the times we had together. I know he was mean sometimes but he was also really sweet to.
FLASH BACK
Taking place in some wooded area. Possibly the grounds of Genkais temple. Botan and Hiei are standing in the middle of a clearing. Botan is in jeans and a tee- shirt and sweating heavily. Hiei has his shirt off.(Yaysies!)
"Now come at me and please do it right this time, baka onna. "Hiei said stepping back into a fighting stance.
"You know I might train better if you didn't constantly insult me!" Botan said crossing her arms haughtily over her chest.
"HN, I don't think the highest mount of praise in the world could make you a better fighter" Hiei said getting out of stance.
"That was really mean Hiei"
"Mean! A fighter dose not care about their emotions! They hide them ! Why did I agree to this!?" he said frustrated.
"Hiei" she said her voice softening "I need your help. I f I'm attacked again I want to be able to defend myself. Since Koenma the horrid won't tell me who, or why their attacking me. I didn't won't to go to the other's they wouldn't have done it ,or treated me like a total weakling. I need you to do this for me" She said her eyes feeling up with tears.
"For the love of god, don't start to cry! I'm not going to give up on you. Yet. Now come at me!" He said exasperatedly going back into stance.
"Yes sir!" She said happily.
Botan backed up and ran full tilt at Hiei trying to hit him. She was bout a foot away from him when she slipped and fell into him. And then for one second all was still and quite. All you could hear was their slightly ragged breathing and the sound of a brook in the distance. From someone just watching them it would appear he was holding her.
"What ARE YOU DOING!!" He said suddenly breaking the silence and magic of the moment.
"I'm sorry ! I'm sorry! "she said jumping away "I didn't mean to I tripped! I swear!"
"Do it again and don't trip this time" his words were harsh and bitter as She moved back to charge again.
"I'm doing it bare foot this time!" She declared kicking off her shoes.
"I don't care if you do it in your under wear just hurry up! I have other things to do than stay here all day!" Hiei said as he positioned himself waiting for her attack.
What happened next was almost predictable. As Botan stared forward, at full speeded , she didn't see the piece of glass. Her shoes had protected her before but now the sharp jagged edge cut straight into her bare foot. Botan pitched forward with a yell
"CA...LAMITY JANE! DAM..P ! OH HEL..LO " (restraining herself from yelling worse)
"Hn" Hiei said with a sigh as he turned his head toward the heavens and issued a silent prayer. He seemed to be doing that a lot recently.
"Can you do anything right?" he asked as he walked over to the spot where Botan was huddled over her foot looking rather green.
"Ride an oar. And I was never really good at that. Do you think I need stitches?" She said in one breathe.
"Stitches? Hn, Ukina can fix it without the help of ningen doctors. I need something to clean it with!" Heie said in frustration as he bent over examining her foot.
"Make the blood stop!" Botan wailed.
"Be quite!" he ordered
"Okay" she mumbled weakly.
"This should do.' He said as he pulled out a handkerchief out of his pocket and rather gently wiping her foot of with it.
"You carry a handkerchief?" she asked in disbelief.
"Hn... The cuts not to deep ,Ukina will bee able to fix it easy. I need somewhere to wash it." He said ignoring her comment.
"There's a stream over there." She said weakly.
"Fine"
At the same moment they looked at each other and realized that there was no way Botan could walk to the stream.
"Um, Hiei I don't think I can walk over there." She stated nervously.
"Don't you think I know that!?" he yelled.
"You don't have to be so mean!" she started to yell but stopped herself before the words could come out of her mouth. She was definitely not in the position to argue at the moment. Her foot was still bleeding and without Hiei's help she was ,well stuck. So instead she simply asked "what are we going to do?"
He looked her over, assessing the damage to her foot. Besides getting a two inch cut, she had sprain her ankle as she'd fallen. He couldn't even force her to walk. Damn his softening heart (A/n I know I just flubbed the p.o.v there but I had t use that line!)
"I'll have to carry you" he said with a sigh.'
She felt a blush spread a cross her cheeks as he lifted her up surprisingly gently. Neither of them spoke as he carried hr towards the stream. The tension was so thick he could have cut it with his Kattanna
The brook was close by to were they were training. So they reached it quickly. Lightly he sat her down on the edge of the bank and proceeded to wash her foot off.
"OW" she mumbled under her breathe as he touched her ankle.
"You sprained your ankle to" he said matter of factly.
After his quite remark an awkward silence passed over them. He continued to clean her foot and then rapped the handkerchief around the cut.
"There" he said as he finished and stood up.
"Hiei , thank you for everything. I mean it"
Then Hiei said something low under his breathe. To low to really understand but loud enough to get the idea.
"did you just say your welcome!" Botan said in amazement.
"Hn" he said turning away quietly.
"Okay, Okay . Don't worry, I'll never speak of this again. I don't have a death wish ,you know. Now Help Me Up!" she said guessing the reason for his silence. Ha was so.... Shy.
"Am I going to have to carry you all the way to Ukina?" he asked in a sickened tone as he turned around.
"Yes" she said pleasantly as she held out her hand to him. He stared at it for a moment before taking it in his and pulling her up.
Botan pushed her self off the ground at the same time he pulled throwing their balance off (hmm I wonder if it was an accident this time? ; ) They fell on top of each other.
"Umm opse" she mumbled red faced as she looked at the position they were in.
Their eyes locked then, and for the first time in all the time they really saw each other.
Slowly, almost nervously , they kissed.
END FLSH BACK
Why are you doing this to yourself? Torturing yourself with memories?
I don't know I guess I can't... no, won't let go.
That's an under statement.
Why am I doing this I have to get ready!!
You can't ignore it forever .
"No but I can remember it." I said aloud glancing down at the small white scar on the bottom of my foot with a smile.
(Announcer voice) In the next chapter: Botan ,Hiei, and Kurama all in the same room for the first time! And another flash back! P.s You'll find out what a rekai promise is! All of this and more in the next installment of .......
