Last time
I turned around just as he opened his eyes from laughing.
His pools of blood met my light purple orbs and a light blush crept onto both of our cheeks.
"Oh, crap!" We both muttered with widened eyes.
4-Soul
Chapter 7: Another couple
Genkai's Temple
Kurama POV
"Yukina, I have to talk to you. I'm sorry Keiko." I said grabbing Yukina and leaving a confused Keiko behind us.
I walked out into the hallway and turned to her.
"You're a Mage?" I asked, my brows furrowing in thought.
"Yes, a Mist/Steel Mage, to be exact. I'm on my way to becoming a Sage. You?" She asked, no emotion showing on her face.
It seems Yukina is more like her brother than I ever imagined. Who would have thought?
"What's with the smirking?" Yukina asked, raising her brow a bit, still looking uninterested.
"Oh, nothing, nothing." I asked, shaking my head. "As for you first question. I am an Earth/Steel Mage. Also on my way to becoming a Sage." A smile came to my lips.
Yukina nodded her head in acknowledgment.
"May I see your daemon?" I asked lowering my head a bit.
I saw her bite her bottom lip and look to the side in nervousness.
"I shall show you Avani." I said.
A silver fox appeared by my feet. She came up to my waist and had dark green/silver eyes. Her fur had a red tint to it and her tail was tipped black, as were her ears.
"Avani means Earth in Hindi." I said as Yukina kneeled down and looked my daemon in the eyes.
Yukina's curious gaze also affected me. It was piercing, but it lost all of its coldness, and her eyes became warm, yet again.
"She's beautiful." Yukina said smiling. "Now let me return the act of peace."
A glossy light blue bird appeared by her feet. He came up to her knees and his feathers looked like steel, and were most likely as sharp as steel, as well. The beck was a soft gold, while the eyes were a light blue, like a mist was captured in his eyes.
"His name is Kun. It means Mountain Range in Chinese, where his kind originated." Yukina said petting Kun's head affectionately.
"He is a Cuno, isn't he. They mostly live in the Arctic or in the Himalayas. He is a fine bird." I complimented.
"Enough with the pleasantries, who were you sent to protect? My brother, perhaps." A small smirk found its way up to her lips.
"You know!?" Avani said surprised, speaking for the first time. Her tail bristled behind her. Her voice was soft, music-like even.
"Hiei told us a while back." Kun said. His voice was deep, but a little on the soft side, and of course void of emotion.
"Nice." Avani muttered, turning her head to the side, avoiding Kun's gaze.
I looked at Yukina confused.
"Don't ask me." Yukina said shrugging, "So...who are you here to protect?"
"Hiei." I answered.
"Boton." She answered my un-asked question.
So she was protecting Boton, huh? This will be fun, I thought with a smirk.
Yukina also started smirking once she saw my idea.
At least I can count on her helping me.
"Let the torture begin." She muttered.
In another Hallway
Genkai POV
"Is it mating season already?" I asked myself.
Hiei and Boton aren't the only ones who will have they're emotions on high, I thought smirking as I eyed Kurama and Yukina.
"As Yukina said 'let the torture begin.'" I walked back to the Teken Portal.
But before I got far I heard the phone ring from inside the living room...where the 'Dimwit' and 'Idiot' were.
Oh, crap.
I then raced to the room hoping to answer it before the others could.
Please don't be Gem and Mina. Please don't be Gem and Mina.
I slammed open the door and...
"Sueng Mina? That's a weird name."
NO!!! I'M TO LATE!!!!...And it's on speaker, great.
"WELL SO IS YUSUKE, YOU DIMWIT!!!!" Sueng Mina shouted into the phone.
"AH!! DO YOU THINK YELL ANY LOUDER!!!" Yusuke shouted trying to get his hearing back.
"WHY YO- WAH!!" Sueng Mina started to shout.
"I'm really sorry for my sister." Another, softer voice said as she laughed nervously. "I'm Gem. Once again sorry for my sisters RUDE behavior."
A distinct 'Whatever' could be heard.
"Do you think you could tell Ge-"She started.
"Don't worry. I'm here." I sighed as I came forward.
"Hello Grandmother." Mina and Gem said in unison.
"GRANDMOTHER!" Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kieko said, surprised.
"Grandmother?" Kurama and Yukina asked as they walked into the door.
"Yes, I have 2 granddaughters." I sighed yet again.
I'm getting too old for this.
You aren't old, my daemon, Shiri said telepathically.
I was one of the privileged few who had a daemon of the same gender.
Shows how much you know, I answered back, laughing hollowly.
"Why have you called?" I asked.
"Well, we were wondering if you could come over with the 'Dimwit'? I think that's what you call him." Gem asked, causing me to smirk.
"DIMWIT!!!" Yusuke shouted.
"Even the hag's granddaughters call you that." Kuwabara shouted laughing.
Let me point out that my 2 granddaughters didn't even try to defend me for that 'Hag' comment, some granddaughters.
"HA! HA! YOU'RE THE DIMWIT!!!!" Sueng Mina shouted as she started laughing.
They were too much, I thought shaking my head.
"Shut up, Mina." Gem hissed, most likely trying to cover the others mouth, as muffled laughter came through. "I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were the one that my grandmother calls 'Dimwit'." Gem answered.
She's acting too polite. She's up to something, most likely going to torture Hiei...again.
They are sooooo pathetic.
"It's okay but...that Mina's sooooo going to get when I get there." Yusuke shouted.
"Yusuke!" Keiko scolded, glaring at him.
"Urameshi! You're not supposed to fight girls!!!" (Three guess on whom said that.)
"Ah, shut up, ya big sissy." The 'Dimwit' said waving him off.
"Sissy?!" The 'Idiot' asked.
"Are you deaf also." Yusuke asked.
I glanced at Yukina, Keiko, and Kurama and saw them sweat dropping along with me, and most likely Sueng and Gem.
I shook my head and asked if they wanted to come.
Kurama and Yukina readily agreed, but Keiko couldn't make it.
"Kurama, Yukina, the 'Idiot' and the 'Dimwit' will come. And Boton most likely." I said, "See you two tomorrow." I said.
"Bye!" They both shouted before a click sounded.
"Hey! Where is Boton, anyway?" Yusuke asked in mid-punch.
"Oh, yeah. Where is she?" The others' asked.
I'll kill you, Yusuke. How am I going to explain this.
Now to the part the H/B fans have been waiting for...
Boton POV
Hiei...I can't believe he is really...here.
I stopped a sigh from escaping my throat.
I can't act like a fan-girl in front of him...but he's sooooo hot!
My eyes lowered from his pools of blood, with great difficulty. What?! His eyes are gorgeous; no they're beautiful.
I mentally sighed...as I looked at his parted lips.
I wonder if he's a good kisser.
I suddenly had a sudden urge to kiss him.
...GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF BOTON!!!!! THIS IS HIEI WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!
My face started heating up as I looked back up to his eyes, not trusting myself to keep my gaze on his lips.
He'll...never...like you.
So caught up in my emotions I let them leak through my face.
Wait...is that a...blush.
He looks so much hotter with a blush.
God, there has to be a rule against being so hot.
...BAD IMAGES! BAD IMAGES! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!
My thoughts almost went off to unknown territory. At least they stopped before the images got anywhere farther then kissing.
I felt a huge blush come up to my face, and when I say huge, I mean HUGE!!!
Hiei POVOh, crap. Oh, shit. Oh, damn. Oh, fuck.
Why? Why, does she have to be here?! Why god, do you hate me so much!
Why, why, why, why, WHY!!!!
...But man is she HOT! How could I have never noticed it before?
I mea- Is she looking at my LIPS!!!
Crap, crap, crap. This is sooooo not good.
I could feel my face heating up, but I tried to control my blush.
I can't blush in front of her.
My gaze then unconsciously drifted to her lips. I wonder if they're as soft as her features.
My eyes then drifted down to her chest, no matter how much I tried not to.
I gulped visibly, but her eyes being on my lips, she didn't see. Thank goodness too, I really don't wanna find out how hard her slaps are.
But god, couldn't she have worm something else that wasn't so...form fitting. Her pink tank top was pretty tight.
My eyes, against my will, slid down to her legs. She was wearing white short-shorts, how could I not look at her legs?!
My god, does she know how much she's tempting me.
I've been hanging around Raven to long; I'm starting to act perverted.
And that is not good.
I shifted my gaze back to her face, and saw her look up to my eyes in shock.
Her face then took on a look of sadness.
I tilted my head a bit in confusion, but that didn't last long as she got another far-a-way look in her eye.
After a while she started blushing like crazy and tore her gaze from my eyes.
I tilted my head again in confusion, more visible this time, causing her to blush even more.
Shit. I wish Raven were here right now. Then at least I could see what was going on in her mind. Damn.
Since I was getting tired of all this blushing and stuff I looked around for Koto, when I came to the starling discovery...
SHE WASN'T HERE!!!
Damn. Where did she go?!
I turned my head this way and that trying to see her, which caught Boton's attention.
By that time her blush was gone and she fully comprehended what was happening.
Boton POVWhat the heck is he doing, I thought, as I saw Hiei looking everywhere.
I also looked around trying to find out what caused him to panic when...
KOTO WENT AND LEFT ME!
THAT TRAITOR!!
Normal POV"WHERE THE HELL DID SHE GO!!" Boton and Hiei shouted at the same time.
"Huh?" They both muttered looking at each other in surprise.
"We said it..." Hiei started.
"At the exact same time." I finished.
Both of their eyes were widened.
They stayed that way before Hiei, being the more courageous one, decided to speak...
"Where do you think Koto went?"
But Boton beat him to it.
(Neh: Now who's the courageous one.)
"Uh..." Hiei muttered, seeing as he thought Boton wouldn't say anything. "You know what. I have no idea what-so-ever." He shook his head.
"And you're supposed to be the smart one." Boton muttered with a black face.
"Are you saying you're dumb?" Hiei asked with a raised brow. I smirk on his face, sent shivers down the ferry girl's spine.
Holding in a sigh she said, "I didn't say it, but yes. I'm stupid." A grin was plastered on her face.
Hiei chuckled with eyes closed, and head down.
"H-He l-laughed" Boton said with widened eyes. Her eyes slowly came down to their normal shape and a smile came to her lips.
Hiei POVShe's not half bad; she'd make a nice mate.
I stopped laughing and looked up at her with a smirk.
"Looks like I'll have to take you to Asakura." I muttered, "No matter. I've been meaning to talk to him."
"Asakura?" Boton asked, tilting her head, "Who is he?"
"The guy that has made my life a living hell." I said as I started walking toward her.
"But if it wasn't for him I would never have met this beauty here, would I?" I muttered indicating her, as I passed.
"W-Wha." She muttered, causing my smirk to grow wider.
"Hurry up Boton, you don't wanna get LOST do you." I called over my shoulder.
"H-Huh? O-Oh ya!" She shouted turning around and running after me.
Nope, not bad at all.
To be continued
So...how'd ya like it! I hope you do, I had to do a lot of thinking to try and figure out how Hiei and Boton would react. But I think it turned out all right. Yep...Well.........R&R PLEASE! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay I'll stop now. I hope you liked it. JA!
