Answers to my wonderful reviewers
Animefreak54: You like the Hiei and Boton ness? I thought I might have messed up on that. I'm not that good at doing that kinda romance, I usually do Hate-Hots relationships. So you'll stick to me like Glue. Uh...that's...uh...good to know. And thanks for the professional comment. I wanna be an author, a real author. I hope I don't disappoint you with this chapter.
Hiei's Ice Maiden: Why would I make run away? Really confused right know Is it because in some stories he runs away from Boton because of his past...OH! And I'm glad you like the story.
Tuathafaerie: FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T FIT TORTURE IN HERE! Maybe it's because I'm not doing Hates-Hots relationship. I don't know. I'll still try and fit a bit of torture in there especially when they all get to Sinsen and about Hiei enjoying himself. Hmm...I guess you get like that after hanging around, like he has a choice, with a perverted Jagan and a crazy Dragon.
Hiei/Boton4ever: No more waiting, I have updated. Oh! And I like your name. Hiei/Boton4ever. So true. Holding hand over heart and pretending to tear up
Angelprincess22: I'm glad you like- I mean loved it!

Last time
"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.

Chapter 8: Alethio and Alethia
With Genkai's Granddaughters
Normal POV
"Okay! You have some explaining to do." Sueng Mina said standing in front of Gem with her fists on her hips.
"And what, pray tell, is that, dear older sister?" Gem asked sweetly.
"Uh..." Sueng Mina muttered gaping. Her right eye started twitching as she stared at Gem's innocent face.
"WHO ARE YOU, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY EVIL, DEMENTED LITTLE SISTER!!!!!!" Sueng Mina shouted shaking Gem's shoulders roughly.
"I AM YOUR SISTER YOU DUMBASS!!!!" Gem shouted, jerking out of Mina's grip, glaring daggers. "AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEMENTED!" She then hit Sueng Mina over the head, while her eyes were closed with anger.
Sueng Mina laughed nervously, falling to the ground with swirly eyes, a big bump on her forehead.
Gem stomped off with clenched fists, and closed eyes, muttering, "Stupid, idiotic, evil sister. How dare she call me demented? I'm not demented. I'm evil, not demented.
While all this took place the people on the street just went on with their regular lives, having seen this a million times before.
Somewhere out of hearing distance of the 2 sisters Normal POV"I think BOTH of them are demented." A young woman muttered as she picked out some apples.
"That fact was established a loooooong time ago." The old shopkeeper asked. "You should see their friends. Crazier still."
"After what I've seen in this town, I wouldn't be surprised." She muttered looking up at the sky.
Genkai's temple
Genkai's POV
"So...where is Boton?" Kieko asked, worry showing clearly in her eyes.
I saw Yukina and Kurama glance worriedly at each other, but that was the only sign that they knew something.
I mentally sighed and tried to think up an excuse.
"She...had to go for a bit of ferry-girl training. It...happens every once and a while just to make sure...no mistakes happen while they are out ferrying." I said as calmly as possible.
It looked perfectly real, no part of my body giving off that I was lying.
Where do you think Lyra got her lying skills? I mentally smirked as I saw my daughter's face in my mind.
"Training?" Kuwabara asked.
"Well, duh. She needs to be able to control her oar perfectly and handle spirits. It's not at all easy, 'specially if it comes to demon spirits."
I made a mental note of my lie in my mind.
I have to remember everything about a lie if I want it to go smoothly.
"Then why didn't she tell us she was leaving?" Yusuke asked, clearly suspecting something.
"She...told me, and...I was coming to tell you but the phone call came and I kinda forgot." Yukina lied, rubbing the back of her head.
I mentally sighed, as I thought, No wonder she is Hiei's sister. She inherited the lying skills for sure.
"I'm sorry." Yukina said softly, looking down.
Kurama glanced at her with a smirk, which to the untrained eye looked like a smile.
"It's okay Yukina." Kuwabara said instantly moving to her side.
"You are...not mad." Yukina asked, tilting her head a bit.
"I could never be mad at such a beauty as you." Kuwabara said, kneeling in front of her with her hand in-between his. "Now would I have the pleasu-" Kuwabara started.
Suddenly a loud crash rang out from the other side of the temple, and a smirk came to my face as Kurama's vine slithered, undetected by anyone but me, making into his hand. He turned the vine into a seed before anyone could see it.
We both glanced at each other and smiled.
Another attempt at Kuwabara getting Yukina; foiled, as if Yukina would actually like the big 'Idiot'.
"Genkai? Wasn't that from the Meditation Room?" Kurama asked me.
He's a good actor, too.
"Yes, it was. Yukina, can you please go see what has happened?" I asked her.
"Of course, Genkai." She said as she turned to leave.
"I'LL GO WITH YOU YUKINA! We wouldn't want you getting hurt would we!" Kuwabara said running toward her.
Yukina winced slightly, and most likely bit her lip.
Oh, god. I have to help her.
"Kurama? Will you assist her? I think they'll need help." I said, staring straight into his eyes giving him a silent message, which was:
GET YOUR BUTTS TO TEKEN; NOW!
"Of course." Kurama said as calmly as possible as he and Yukina, who had also gotten the message, sped out the door.
I glanced at the other 3.
Yusuke was looking at me in a confused manner.
Kuwabara was looking at me angrily.
And Keiko was looking at me with eyes that practically screamed:
I'll find out soon enough.
"I'll expect a call from her really soon." Keiko muttered, glaring, as she walked out the door.
"Since it's getting late I think you should spend the night here. So why don't you call your parents and say you're going to stay over, and tell them about going to Sinsen, tomorrow. Now I'll go make dinner?" I said as I walked out living the 2 idiotic dimwits behind.
Hiei and Boton
Boton POV
We walked through the series of hallway and steps for what seemed like eternity...but I guess it was okay...as long as I had my object of affection in front of me. sigh
OH, GOD!! THAT SOUNDED TO FAN-GIRL LIKE! I have to control myself or...I'LL BECOME A FANGIRL MYSELF! AHHHHH!
Okay so I'm over-exaggerating a bit, but...WHO CARES!
I still CANNOT turn into a fan girl. That would be bad and then...Hiei might hate me.
All right, enough thinking.
I set my eyes forward but the stinkin' thoughts about how cute and hot and gorgeous and...and...STOP!
Going off to unknown territory. Bad sign, very bad sign.
Trying to stop my very, very embarrassing thoughts, I tried thinking of something to talk about.
Oh...did I have to say after all the thoughts on Hiei I was blushing bright red.
"Uh...Hiei...How much further?" I asked hesitantly.
"Hmm?" He murmured glancing at me, over his shoulder.
My knees buckled a bit as we stopped...his eyes are so gorgeous. And being blood colored was an added bonus. At least they weren't a ruby color; blood red is a better red then ruby red.
What! I can a bit violent, too, you know.
"We're almost there, and I really mean it. Not like Koto who gets lost every single time. It's a wonder she hasn't died from starvation from wandering around the halls for so long." He muttered.
"Is it that easy to get lost in here?" I asked wide-eyed.
"Well this place is huge. But you'll get used to it after a while. Just don't get lost in the actual grounds. The darkness can drive a LIGHT Mage crazy, you know." Hiei teased.
"Hiei Jaganshi! Are you calling us Light Mages weak." I asked, more like shouted, with clenched fists at my side.
"No, no, of course not." Hiei said with a hint of sarcasm. He then turned back around and started walking away with his hands locked behind his head. "Not physically anyway." I heard him murmur.
I don't care if he is the hottest Darkness Mage I have ever met, and only one Dark Mage, but he is soooo going to get it.
"HIEI JAGANSHI!" I shouted with eyes closed in frustration.
"You called, my lady?" He asked sweetly as he turned around and smiled.
"Don't you 'my lady' me Jaganshi! I know you were saying Light Mages were weak!" I snapped.
"Me? Now, why would I do that?" He asked pulling on a hurt façade.
"Shut it with the innocence act, you idiot. You said we were mentally weak, and I heard it!" I glared daggers at the SEEMINGLY innocent Mage in front of me.
Only a moment before he had been my object of affection, but now...HE IS SOOOO DEAD!
Hiei must of read my mind with his Jagan, which made me even angrier, as he suddenly laughed out-loud.
If I only knew he didn't have his Jagan.
"I didn't actually say that." He muttered turning sideways from me with his head down, eyes closed, and a smile on his lips.
"You were implying it." I muttered as the wind started picking up around me blowing my hair and clothes around a bit. My eyes started glowing with a goldish tint.
The lights flickered off once, and a wave of light was flowing around my arm. It was like a white-gold aurora which flowing around my right arm.
Hiei looked up at the lights, and nodded.
"Nice." He muttered.
Instantly the wind picked up but then died back down a bit.
"You'll do good in Teken." He said nodding towards me as he turned around a continued walking.
The wind died down all the way and my eyes returned back to their normal purple color. The white-gold aurora disappeared, leaving my hand freezing cold
I stared at his retreating form, gaping.
"YOU WERE TESTING ME!?" I cried out, surprised.
"Yeah, and ya passed. Congratulations." Hiei said as he turned around and smiled.
"B-But...S-So you didn't mean the thing about us Light Mages being weak?" I asked, looking doubtful.
His smile gave off the sense that he had been joking but what he said next angered me yet again.
"Now I wouldn't say that."
Before the wind could pick up, even a bit, I saw his teasing smirk and had to smile in return.
"Now hurry up, my swords crying for Asakura's blood." Hiei said as he turned on his heel and started walking yet again, all the while fingering his katana with his left hand.
A sweat-drop found its way up to my head with a smile on my lips.
I had this extreme urge to cry out 'WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIEI' but I contained it; this Hiei was A LOT better, and I didn't want to get rid of him.
"Hiei?" A voice asked from behind Hiei.
He had black shoulder-length hair, which ended in sort-of spikes. A blue bandanna held up his few light blue bangs. On the bandanna there was a Yin & Yang symbol, but it was black and light blue. His eyes were also a light blue and he was wearing a silver sleeveless shirt with black baggy pants. The shirt had two blue serpents wound around a skull.
"Now...What would you be doing here, and with a Light Mage, no doubt." He said smirking.
"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, YOU BAKA!" Hiei shouted, red in the face.
I looked from the smirking blue-eyed guy to Hiei, confused.
"What are you talking about?" I asked tilting my head to the side.
Both of them sweat dropped before the new guy started smirking.
"You really know how ta pick 'em. Don't ya, Hiei?" He asked.
Hiei got even redder and then everything clicked.
"WHY YOU, PERVERT! HOW'D YA GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT!" I shouted as I hit him over the head, while blushing even more then Hiei.
He fell to the ground with swirly eyes, while I stood to the said with my shaking fist in front of my face and my eyes closed in anger.
"Ei?!" I heard Hiei ask with amusement in his voice.
"Ugh." The guy I knocked out, Ei moaned.
Good, may be now he will learn his lesson. Hmm.
I turned back around to glare at Ei and saw him still face down with Hiei kneeling by him.
"You have to pick the strong ones." He muttered as he sat up rubbing his head with a pout, causing me to giggle.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Hiei muttered, glaring at him.
"Nothing." Ei replied quickly.
Hiei glared at Ei, which caused Ei to glare back at Hiei.
I turned my head from one to the other trying to figure out what was wrong with these guys.
Now this is weird.
Slowly their frowns turned into smiles and Hiei said, "Nice ta see ya again. I see you have survived Hiko, yet again."
Hiei then helped him up.
"I see you have to. But not with a scratch." Ei said eyeing a long scar long Hiei arm, above his elbow, which I missed before.
"Yeah, well. He goes extra hard on me because I'm the strongest." Hiei replied cockily.
"Yeah, right. Who ever said you were the strongest?" Ei snapped, glaring at Hiei.
"Well I am, aren't I. When have you ever beaten me. Let's see...NEVER!" Hiei shouted.
"The last time we fought was when we were 5 or something." Ei said sweat dropping.
"Uh...So?" Hiei asked.
"SO IT DOESN'T COUNT! We're like 450 something, for Pete's sake. So it's been like 445 years since we last fought!" Ei shouted.
They're 450! I always thought Hiei was more of a 435 kinda guy. God I really messed up when I filled his profile.
"O-Okay. But one question?"
"Yeah?" Ei raised a brow.
"Who's Pete?" Hiei asked.
Both Ei and I sweat dropped and looked at him like he was an idiot.
I then caught sight of his smirk and sighed.
"Hiei." I sighed, as I shook my head.
"What?!" He asked pouting.
"Nothing, nothing." I sighed again.
This is going to be one long day. Why, oh why did I have to come here?
Because you're a total idiot, Alethio telepathically said in my mind.
If I'm an idiot, so are you, I replied.
Oh, yeah, Alethio muttered, Damn.
I let a smirk up to my lips as I tricked Alethio yet again.
"Are you done talking with your Daemon yet?" Ei asked, impatiently.
"Sorry." I muttered looking down.
Hiei's POV"It's ok." I said, "As long as you show us your Daemon, of course. We'll show you ours first."
A midnight black fox with bright silver eyes appeared at my feet. Her head came up to my stomach and her tail was swishing back in forth in anticipation of seeing Boton's Daemon.
I got to admit I also wanted to see her Daemon.
"And Lalita will show herself as well, won't you." Alethia spoke softly, turning her head to the side, by Ei.
Was it my imagination or did she speak softer then usual? Hmm?
Then a pure white coyote with dark blue eyes appeared. Streaks of pale blue streaked her coat. She came up to a bit below his waist.
"This is Lalita, which means playful. Lita for short." Ei said grinning, while rubbing her head.
"Her white coat is very nice, especially with its blue streaks." Boton complimented.
"Thanks, but you it won't stay that way for long. I just washed her 10 minutes ago. It's a wonder she isn't dirty yet." Ei's grin grew wider.
"Unlike Alethia, who grooms herself every hour or so." Lita said, her voice playful, like a small child's, sticking her tongue out at Alethia.
"WHAT! Do not!" Alethia snarled, as her fur bristled.
Lita ran behind Ei and hid. There she turned into a dark blue cobra with pale blue markings.
She climbed up to Ei's shoulder and stuck her forked tongue out at Alethia, her regular blue eyes closed.
I laughed a bit before turning to Boton.
"So...how 'bout yours?" I asked.
"O-Oh. Here is...uh...my...Daemon." She said softly.
Ei and I glanced at each other and both of us wondered why she didn't say his name.
A gold wolf appeared in front of Boton. He had light purple eyes, which were eyeing Alethia. He went up to her stomach and had a long sleek tail.
His head was cocked slightly to the side as he watched Alethia.
"So...what's his name?" Ei asked Boton.
Boton blushed a bit before answering softly, "Alethio."
"WHAT!" Alethia and I both shouted, eyes widened, as Ei and Lita widened their eyes.
Their eyes slowly went back to normal as Ei smirked and Lita gave off a coyote smirk.
To be continuedI know this chapter was sucky, but I wanted Ei to tease Hiei and Boton a bit and I wanted Alethia and Alethio to meet.
Sorry for ending there, but it was already over 2500 words and I didn't want it to go over 3000 words. Don't worry I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, and they might, let me say it again, might met Asakura. No promises though.
Anyway R&R!
