Mmmmm, naked men. The first two models were ok, but the third-oh my god! Gorgeous! I named him that, hot body, hot face, his beautiful ebony locks....o.o mkay, ahem, back to business.
Botan got into the cold water of the bath, her chest, soft to touch, stung at first as she descended slowly into the cool water. Botan gasped out loud at how cold the water was. She wasn't aware that she had turned the dial to the coldest the water could possibly get, without adding ice cubes.
Botan closed her eyes as she got used to the temperature of the chilling bath. But, a noise coming from the balcony outside the bathroom doors caught her attention. She would have screamed, but kept quiet, in case there was nothin really there. She moved the curtain that hung on a pole; that would only be of use if she was taking a shower, aside as she gazed at the glass doors. Botan waited for a few moments, the see-through material dancing as the chilling summer night wind blew throughout the deadly quiet bathroom. Botan sighed as she sank into the water, her nose and eyes still above the water, her eyes fixated on the window. Out from nowhere, a shadow jumped down from above and landed perfectly on the balcony below. Botan managed a bit of a scream as she closed her eyes and grasped for something-anything. Anything that would hide her body from the figure outside.
Botan had yanked the shower curtain, pulling the rings off from the pole and into Botan's grasped as she quickly wrapped it around her body and sunk into the freezing cold water. Botan opened her eyes a bit under the water, only to see a blurry figure. The color that stuck out on the figure the most was the hair, the long, blood red hair. 'K-kurama...?' The figure hovered over the bathtub, and shook Botan furiously, as if telling her with their gestures to get out of the water. Botan refused to resurface. Afraid of what she might meet, she planted herself firmly on the bottom of the bathtub. The figure- obviously angry, tried to pull Botan out from the water, but failing miserably. Botan felt sleepiness approach her, as she ran out of air to store in her lungs, and didn't even take a breathe before she sank.
Botan stopped her fuss as the figure yanked her out from the water. Botan spat water as she coughed, her eyes not focusing yet, due to exposing them in the water. When she finally calmed down she looked at the person next to her. Expecting to meet a furious Kurama, her eyes showed her a smirking Yuri. (Aha I tricked you!) "Y-yuri!" Botan nearly shouted, obviously shocked. 'Does...does she want revenge?' Botan suddenly remembered that she fought Yuri when she was Sora, she quickly started, "Yuri...! I- this is perfectly explainable you se-" Botan was in the middle of her ranting when Yuri cut her off.
"I knew you were a woman, no need for an explanation."
Botan looked down as she said, "So....so why are you here?"
Yuri glared a bit, but then softened, "I came to apologize. You see, when I did my constriction spell, I was only playing, I didn't mean to go as far as I did. You see, when I fell unconscious, after the match, that wasn't from exhaustion; it was from possession."
Botan looked at Yuri, confusion written all over her face as she replied, "Possession? But who?"
Yuri sighed as she looked down, "I do not know. All I know is that, that someone didn't just want my team to win, that person, whoever they may be, wants to kill you."
"Kill me...." Botan repeated as she knew all too well, exactly who it was.
Yuri, feeling a bit uncomfortable at the sudden silence, stood up and said, "Well, I better be off, I just came to tell you that so-," Yuri sighed again, unable to put into words what she really wanted to say. "I just wanted to warn you, that's all."
Botan smiled a bright and kind smile as she said, "Thanks."
Yuri stopped in her tracks. Turned around to face Botan, and flashed her a wide grin. Botan didn't have a chance to smile back at Yuri before she left, because in the blink of an eye, Yuri was gone. Botan finished washing up and left the bathroom. Botan didn't bother wrapping her chest up, knowing it would heal faster if she only wrapped it in the daytime, 'And if Hiei finds out....' Botan thought sleepily, 'then...he finds out...' Just barely finishing her thoughts, Botan fell fast to sleep. Hiei walked in the room from the balcony (It's a fancy shmancy, expensive hotel where the lots of balconies, ok? Sheesh.) And approached the sleeping Botan.
Hiei pulled a chair up next to her bed and sat down on it, the opposite way, so the back of the chair faced Botan and not the front. He rested his chin on the back, as he ripped the bandages off of his forehead, his jagan now glowing yellow. The yellow glow engulfed Botan's sleeping body, making her 'look like an angel..' Hiei thought. 'Since when did I get this soft? I'm not being soft, I'm being...being a teammate. Yeah, I don't want to lose the tournament. I want to leave this wretched place and go back to Makai, and losing thanks to the ferry onna won't help me get there any faster.' He looked down at Botan's sleeping form. Her lips formed a bit of smile, which made Hiei want to crack a smile too, key word : want to.
Hiei just sat there until the glowing stopped. At last he spoke to Botan, knowing perfectly well she couldn't here him. "I'm afraid my healing powers aren't as good as Yukina's. They will only take the pain away, at least until the matches are over. You better rake care of yourself tomorrow, or I'll kill you." Hiei seemed to get half of his mouth to smile, making it look like a soft smirk, a very soft smirk. Hiei got up and left the room. Hiei looked back at Botan one more time as he thought, 'Take care.....', as he closed the balcony doors and disappeared.
