Chapter 6
They went through the portal and landed back in the park in Ningenkai. It was 6:05pm and the sun was dipping down low in the sky. Botan lead the way to the nearest ice cream parlor, Hiei keeping right behind her to make sure she didn't escape from his grasp.
"Do you think it will be weird for a woman in a pink kimono entering an ice cream parlor?" she asked him over her shoulder.
"Listen, all I want is my ice cream. I really don't care what you're wearing or how ningens will react." he huffed.
"Well I asked for that," she thought out loud, knowing he was going to answer in that fashion. She opened the glass door, which Hiei took the opportunity to barge in front of her.
She rolled her eyes and dawdled in. He waited for her at the counter, tapping his foot impatiently. 'Hiei's two passions in the world. Yukina and ice cream. It's sad that Yukina is in the same rank as ice cream.'Botan pondered.
"What will you have today?" the teenager in front of the cash register asked.
"Sweet snow, ningen." Hiei addressed him.
"Er…sweet snow?" the boy asked confused and turned to his co-worker. "Do we have that?" Botan shoved Hiei aside (because she could) and gave the boy a wary smile.
"He means ice cream. One large of…."she just had realized she didn't know what flavor he liked. She leaned over to him and whispered, "Hiei which flavor?"
"Chocolate…with marshmallows." he prompted. Botan smiled again and returned her attention on her order.
"One large of chocolate with marshmallow topping and one small of vanilla with penutbutter topping." she told him. The boy nodded and rang up the price while his co-worker made the cones. She paid and handed Hiei his cone while she licked hers. "Outside or inside?"
Hiei looked up. "Hn?"
"Do you want to eat outside or inside?" she repeated.
"Outside. Being cooped up with ningens is hardly satisfying." Hiei slurped. She nodded her head and they sat on the bench. Hiei consumed his with ease while Botan took small licks enjoying the flavor.
"What is that stuff on yours?"
Botan turned at the curious demon. "Peanut butter." He blinked.
"It looks good," he added staring at it. Botan gave him a dry look and scooted away from him. He growled and scooted nearer.
"No Hiei. It's mine." she protested and shielded her cone with her hand. "Don't give me that, onna. I just want a taste," he hissed. She grumbled and shifted in her seat.
"Only one lick. And not a big one." she warned letting his face near the cone. He licked it and marveled at the flavor. "Hm…I should get this next time," he suggested.
"Sharing a cone?" a familiar voice broke into the conversation. They both looked up to find Yusuke standing above them. His smirk sliced onto his face and he sat in between them. "Cuz if you are I want some."he laughed and licked his lips.
Botan brightened at Yusuke. "Well no, Hiei is just bugging me but if you want some, only take a little." she giggled. "Me bugging you? Pft. Keep dreaming ferry onna." Hiei snorted and crossed his arms.
"You bought him ice cream? You never did that for me."Yusuke pouted. Hiei smiled to himself as a small victory. "I owed him for helping me with a mission."she excused and rubbed her arm against his.
"When was this? I thought you were my assistant? I would have gone."Yusuke mumbled. She laughed and patted his shoulder. "Yusuke I still am! Stop accusing me of that." Yusuke shrugged and started eating the cone. Hiei noticed Yusuke's arm slide around her shoulders and Hiei felt a small pang of jealousy.
He started getting slightly pissed off watching Botan brighten up to Yusuke. But Hiei remained quiet. Botan's pink eyes landed on Hiei as he scowled. "Hiei what's wrong?"she asked unaware of Hiei's jealous thoughts.
"Nothing Onna. I'm going."he informed her and stood up sharply. She gave him a small smile and nodded. "Thanks again."she told him once again. He left with a "hn." and disappeared into the trees. Yusuke glanced over, "Fire breath sure looked steamed. Maybe he was pissed cuz I took his cone from the pretty ferry girl."
Botan blushed and nudged him. "No…probably checking on Yukina." Yusuke shrugged and swallowed the last of the cone. "Didn't stand a chance."he burped. "So anyways, I was wondering if you want to come over Saturday and watch some movies."
"Like horror films?"she asked. "Yeah, you could spend the night too."
Botan nodded. "Okay. Keiko doesn't mind?"
"She's not gonna care. It's just you."
She rolled her eyes but kissed him on the cheek and agreed to it.
She arrived Saturday night outside of the detective's apartment, the warm autumn breeze soothing her. She landed on the ground and dismounted her oar. Botan was in a good mood, ready to spend time with her friend. Her sandals padded on the sidewalk when a black shadow dropped from the trees.
She stopped when she saw two red eyes glaring at her. "What are you doing, Onna?" She took her hair band out of her hair, letting blue locks fall onto her shoulders. The breeze making it wave. Hiei stepped back startled. "I was invited to watch human movie horror films with Yusuke."she replied with a smile. "Why are you here?"
Hiei turned his face and blew his bangs out of his hair. "None of your business."
Botan shook her head but kept her smile. "Okay then, Hiei." And she started to walk towards the stairs.
"Wait…" She turned back to Hiei who' eyes was to the ground. Botan waited for him to say more but he didn't. So she spoke up, "Um…want to join us then?"
Hiei shrugged. Her pink eyes flickered and she took his hand. They walked upstairs to Yusuke's door. 'I bet he came because he had nothing to do.'She thought. The heat was rushing to Hiei's face. Her hand felt nice and cool and soft. Her hair framed her face really nicely. Never had she ever held his hand, until now. And she had done it without him knowing so he couldn't protest.
Botan felt Hiei's hand start to grip hers. Thank god he was following behind her because she started to blush. 'Hiei's been acting a bit weird lately. Maybe he's just tired.' She knew that was a sad excuse but she couldn't think of anything else. They arrived in front of Yusuke's door and she let go of his hand.
Botan knocked on the door and immediately the door opened. "Hey Botan."Yusuke greeted and noticed spiky black hair man was next to her. Botan noticed Yusuke's quizzical expression. "Do you mind if he joins us?"
Yusuke grinned and shook his head. "No not at all! I didn't know he was into movies." Hiei "hned." And Yusuke turned. "I thought you hated ningen things." Hiei barged in, not wanting to answer any questions and seated himself in front of the…large…black box.
Yusuke shot a dry look at the back of Hiei's head. "Make yourself at home."
"I'm sorry. I brought some ningen food, such as chips and dip. This is traditional, no?"Botan announced. Yusuke sweat dropped. "You sound like a foreigner but yeah, that's good." He grabbed the food and Botan neatly placed her sandals on the mat. She padded over into the living room and seated herself next to Hiei.
The living room had blankets spread out on the floor and pillows. A bag of popcorn was next to the remote with a couple of flicks Yusuke had rented. Botan liked how the floor was nice a comfortable and snuggled with a pillow.Yusuke set the chips in front of Botan and Hiei and he shuffled through the movies. "The ring or Texas chainsaw Massacre?" and he held them up. Hiei looked at both then to Botan. "Well, Onna?"
Botan studied them. "I think I've seen The Ring before. Let's do the other one." And she pointed to the green box. Hiei leaned on the couch while Yusuke put the tape into the VCR and plopped next to Botan.
During the movie Hiei stared at the screen and got lost in his own thought. 'So I wonder if Yusuke really asked her to come over as a date…eh…nah…He didn't seem disappointed when I came along.' He felt relieved.
Tonight Yukina was going on a date with Kuwabara and Kurama was going out for his mother's birthday tonight, so really he had nowhere to really be. 'Maybe I should check up when Yukina gets home…I don't want her pregnant and-'
"Hiei?" Hiei sighed and turned to the blue haired ferry girl. "Can you pass the chips?" Hiei flung the bang into her lap and went back to thought. 'Hm…but would kuwabara really..er..do that? …No…he wouldn't degrade her like that. He's so ugly.' Hiei smirked to himself. Botan looked over and saw the fire demon grinning.
"What are you smiling about?"
"The movie. It's so stupid."
Yusuke had an insult prepared. "Well then why are you watching it?"
Hiei looked over. "Because I have nothing better to do." Botan gave him a frown. "You don't find it the least bit interesting?"
Hiei laughed at that. "Its ningen shit. Things in Makai are much worse." Botan rolled her eyes while Yusuke leaned over. "Jez Hiei you sound like the Hag." And then he made his voice all hoarse, "Back in the old days…" Botan giggled while Hiei gave Yusuke the stink eye. "Tell you what," the TV flipped off "How bout we do something that will excite you."Yusuke suggested.
"Oh, You're planning to kill yourself?"Hiei asked innocently.
"Har Har, Fuck you. No we're going to play truth or dare." Now this was interesting. "Truth or dare huh? Hn, fine." They sat in a circle.
"Um, how do you play this?"she asked sheepishly. "For example, if I start, I say 'Botan truth or dare?' and you will pick either one. If you pick truth I have to ask you a question that you have to answer truthfully. If you choose dare I make up a dare that you have to do. Got it?" Yusuke explained. She nodded and watched as Yusuke went first.
"Hiei!" Hiei looked at Yusuke waiting for the question. "Truth or dare?"
'He thinks he's so cool. I'm not going to be a wuss.' Hiei smirked and replied, "Dare."
"I dare you to kiss Botan."Yusuke challenged. Hiei's mouth dropped. He didn't expect that. Botan immediately turned to Yusuke with a dry look on her face. "You were planning that the whole time weren't you?"
"Why would you say that?" Yusuke asked.
"You said it right after he said dare."
Yusuke shrugged innocently. "It's not my fault Hiei's a sucker."
Hiei growled. "No way! Pick another!" He shook his head, "Nuh-uh. You have to do the dare!"
"Oh yeah? Make me!"Hiei snarled. He face seemed to say, "I dare you to try it."
"Are you chicken?" Yusuke laughed.
"No!"
"Then why not?"
"For obvious reasons."
Botan started getting nervous. 'Hiei kiss me? I don't want my first kiss to be just a dare.'
"Listen, you don't have to marry her, all you have to do is give her a little kiss on the lips."Yusuke told him, making it sound like no big deal.
"No Yusuke, I don't want my first kiss to be a dare. I want it to be with someone who kisses me because they want to."Botan protested. Yusuke sweat dropped then gave up. "Okay fine, fine. How bout you have to run down the street screaming monkey man?"
Hiei shrugged and got up. They went outside on the balcony and watched Hiei go down and run down the street screaming, "MONKEY MAN!!!!" Botan dropped down in a fit of laughter as soon as she saw Hiei scream the first time and Yusuke had to clutch the chair to hold himself up as he laughed. After that was done Hiei jumped back up, face a bit red from embarrassment. "That..that was so funny. Okay Hiei your turn." Yusuke gasped.
Hiei thought for a moment then turned to Botan. "Botan, truth or dare?" Botan squeaked from surprise and heaved up on her legs. "Um…er…dare?"
"I dare you to hit Yusuke on the head with your oar."Hiei commanded. Yusuke protested but Botan immediately slammed her oar into his skull. "Ow!! That's not how you play it! There's no violence!" Yusuke yelled as he held his tender head.
"That's for daring me to kiss her." Hiei bellowed. Botan nodded in agreement.
"Jesus…Well Botan it's your turn. (You guys take things so seriously)."Yusuke reminded. She turned to Hiei. "Hiei truth or dare?"
"Me again? Hm…truth." Botan put a finger to her chin and thought for a moment. "Have you ever had a crush on someone? Or a least felt something for someone?"She asked. She really wanted to know. 'Is my dream true?'
Hiei turned stoic and silence followed. Yusuke stared at the koorime curious as well. "….Hn"
Botan dropped anime style. "Hiei that's not a yes or a no! Listen you don't have to say their name."
Hiei looked down at his shoes. 'Have I felt something?' He remembered his dream with Botan. 'I don't have to say who so I guess its okay.'Though he dreaded the thought of anyone finding out. "Come on!" Yusuke poked. Hiei's head shot up and he mumbled a, "…yes…"
Botan's cotton candy eyes flickered. "Who was it?" Yusuke and Botan asked scooting in front of him. "Hn. You said I didn't have to say the name. Anyways it's my turn."Hiei sneered and pushed them aside. Yusuke and Botan exchanged glances.
"Who do you think it was?"Botan asked.
"He jipt us. I bet he was talking about Mukuro. Remember they hugged?"Yusuke whispered. Her heart sank. 'I suppose he could be right.' Botan thought drearily. Her eyes turned a soft purple.
"Yusuke." Both of their heads snapped to attention. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth. I'm layin it low."Yusuke replied noting Hiei would probably plan some evil dare. Hiei got a serious look on his face and asked, "Did you ever like Botan more than a friend?"
Yusuke froze.
"Why would you want to know that?"Botan asked confused. Why in the hell would Hiei care?
"Shut up Onna. I asked Yusuke." He snapped. Yusuke looked away for a moment his face was a little red. "Maybe once."
"Really? Are you sure?"Hiei questioned.
Now Yusuke was confused. "What do you mean? I said I thought about her like that once. That was it." Botan blushed but watched for Hiei's reaction. "Hn. Fine."
Yusuke shook his head. 'Hiei's weird sometimes.'Yusuke thought. "Okay one last time. Botan truth or dare?" Botan shrugged, "Dare."
Yusuke got a huge evil grin on his face and Botan regretted her choice. "Call Kurama and tell him you love him." Botan's mouth dropped. "I can't tell him that!!!"
Hiei gave Yusuke a glare. "Yes you do. Now do it." Botan hung her head and walked to Yusuke's phone. Yusuke was giggling while Hiei was green with envy. Botan dialed up, "……..Uh…It's the answering machine…"
Yusuke grinned. "Leave a message." Botan gave him a pleading look but he pointed to the phone. "Uh…Hi Kurama it's me Botan…I just wanted to tell you…."she took in a deep breath, Hiei grinded his teeth together, Yusuke laughing, "I love you."
Botan hurriedly hung up the phone while Yusuke patted her on the back while his laughter fit died down. "He's going to know it was a joke. You were laughing in the backround."Botan informed him. "So? It's funny!"he said yucking it up. Hiei growled and punched Yusuke in the head.
Botan turned to Hiei surprised. "Ow! What's your problem?" Yusuke snarled.
"I have my reasons."Hiei snipped and sat down in front of the TV again. "What the hell is wrong with him? I know I didn't do anything to him this time! He hit me where you hit earlier too."Yusuke whined rubbing his smarting head. Botan couldn't say she wasn't thankful but Yusuke was right.
They sat through a movie all quiet again. Botan stealing a couple glances at him. Every time she looked, he was still scowling at the TV; He could burn a hole in it, literally. 'Why would he be mad? I had to do the dare not him…unless…could it be?' The movie ended and it was pretty late. "1:00am."Yusuke said looking at the VCR clock. "That late already?"Botan yawned. "You're tired already? Fools.."Hiei laughed.
"Don't you take naps all day though?"Botan asked and both Yusuke and Botan gave him a look. He shrugged and put his arms behind his head. Yusuke ignored him and fluffed his pillow. "I'm gonna change. You can use the bathroom Botan."Yusuke pointed down the hall. Botan got up and went in while Yusuke headed to his room, leaving Hiei alone. 'I shouldn't have punched Yusuke. Now they might suspect something. Dammit dammit dammit.'
Botan was undressing out of her kimono folding it neatly and set it on the counter. She looked up at herself in the mirror. Her face was transparent in the mirror but she could see herself still. Her cotton candy eyes were steadily focused; her long light blue locks framed her face, nice and smooth.
She touched her face, pale skin. Her eyes went to her breasts, they weren't huge but they were proportionate to her body. She was happy with her figure. Hell she had been like this for more than a hundred years. She liked being human, tangible, but she preferred being a dead spirit. 'It takes sacrifices to be a human.'she remembered herself saying and she still believed it. Being human was a pain in her ass.
She took out her pajama's she had tucked in her kimono pocket and put them on. Light blue cloud patterns were printed on her nightshirt and the same on her shorts. She also slipped on a pink shower robe for warmth and brushed her hair. When her preparations were done she pick up her stuff and exited the bathroom.
She entered the living room again to find Yusuke in dark blue stripped PJ's sitting next to Hiei who was still in his regular attire. They both looked up from their conversation and she gave them a friendly smile.
"Nice."Yusuke commented as she scooted in between them. Yusuke noticed Hiei looking at Botan with eyes a bit wide. 'Botan does have nice legs.'Yusuke admitted.
"Do you have an extra pillow?"
"Yeah here."
Botan took the pillow and prompt it next to her bed. She pulled a comforter over to her. Yusuke looked over to Hiei. "Staying over for the night?"
Hiei took a look at Botan. He had never seen her like this. Her legs looked smooth and though she had a robe on the sleeve sagged revealing her shoulder and the little strap of her tank top nightshirt. Her hair was smooth and brushed falling down her back, bangs framing her face.
"HEY HIEI" Hiei snapped away from drooling over Botan's body and looked at Yusuke. "You sleepin over t'night or what?" Botan's face turned to look at him. Let's see, stay here with the pretty girl or leave out to sleep in the cold night with the Kitsune badgering him. What sounds better? "Hn, I guess I'll stay since I'm here."
Onna's eyes lit up. "Oh that's good!"
"Heh, okay then."
Hiei stood up. "I'll be on the balcony if you need to bother me."
Botan frowned. "Why not stay in here? It'll be warmer."
Hiei shook his head, "It isn't that cold. I'll leave the door open." His hand jerked the sliding glass door back and reclined on the ledge. "What a loner."Yusuke whispered. Botan shrugged. 'Hiei's probably use to sleeping alone. Everybody's different.'
They both snuggled into the blankets on the floor Yusuke shutting the light off. The room was now very dark. It reminded her the time they all slept together in the four dimension mansion. Soft snores. She softly giggled when she remembered Kuwabara and Yusuke snoring in the corner. They both looked so cute.
Kurama had been next to her; the aroma of roses had helped her sleep. She felt a cold wind filter in the room and heard feet tapping on the wood. Next thing she new Hiei was standing above her shaking.
"Maybe it is cold." He decided and shut the door. He climbed down next to her taking a spare pillow and rubbing his face against it. His eyes staring back at hers. Heavy breathing from Yusuke told her he was asleep, leaving her with the demon.
She blinked back. "Hey…I wanted to ask you something." He sighed letting her know he was listening. "Um…have you been having…uh?"She couldn't get the words out.
"What?"
"Oh…nothing. Forget it."She dropped it. 'Too embarrassing. Of coarse he wouldn't have the same dream.' She flushed noticing Hiei was still looking at her. "Good night."She fake yawned and shut her eyes before she drowned in his crimson ones.
He shut his too. "What ever Onna."
Botan waited till she heard Hiei's breathe become soft and steady she opened her eyes and studied the ceiling. The day's events replayed in her head. Hiei's actions were so unlike him. He had been so irritated about things she thought wouldn't bother him.
'Maybe he was cranky…I've seen him before get that way.'she thought. She couldn't imagine it any other way. Her dream floated back to her. She quietly turned her head. Hiei look peaceful in his sleep. Not the aloof boy that she knew in wake.
I'm here for you'I'm here for you too.'She answered and she lightly brushed his bangs out of his eyes. She pulled it away and then Hiei made a noise. He shifted and his arm brushed hers and went under his pillow.
She shivered at how it felt. 'If only you knew what I saw in that dream, you would have been scared too.'she thought looking at him. She closed her eyes and dozed off. She didn't know he had.
DREAM
Love… I get so lost, sometimesHiei was positioned on the top of the warehouse. Fog covered the pier, the sun was nearly gone.
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
The orange and pick sky gave warning of the detective and his assistant's arrival. He was calm, the shadow sword at his side. He had hypnotized a few ningen thugs to keep watch. But all he could think is what the ferry girl said.
when I want to run away, I drive off in my car
His jagan opened. He is baiting them with spirit energy waves. He finally feels them arrive and jumps down into the warehouse, orders the slaves to gather Keiko and bring her out. "HIEI!!! You Bastard! Come out here!" Hiei smirks. They have arrived.
but whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are
The ningens drag Keiko out behind him. The detective has anger in his eyes, positioned to attack. Botan is behind him, alert but her eyes are unsure. His heartbeat quickens, eagerly looks at Botan. "So you do have Keiko." Yusuke snarls. "Yes…I'll trade you her if you'll give me the rest of the treasures." Yusuke flashes them.
All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
"Good set them there." Yusuke does as told and Keiko is thrown into Botan's arms. This time there is no eye on Keiko's head. "I can't let you have those treasures!" Yusuke growls cracking his knuckles. Yusuke jumps at Hiei and throws a punch. Hiei dodges it and runs to Botan.
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
"HEY!" Hiei wraps one arm around Botan and jumps onto a box. The blade goes near her face. "If you want her alive I suggest you take your girlfriend and leave. Then I will promise to return her safely." She pants and shakes
Yusuke looks up not wanting to leave her but she speaks, "Go Yusuke, I'll be fine, just get Keiko home." He nods and leaves with Keiko in his arms. When Hiei feels Yusuke is gone, he pulls the blade away from her face and lets go of her gently. She turns around to face him. He is taller than her, she has to look up. "What are you going to do with me?" Hiei looks down into her pink eyes.
In your eyes
the light the heat
He places his hands on her hips and rubs her sides. She shivers and he feels her hand go to his cheek. Soft, pale, and cool. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her near his mouth.
in your eyes
I am complete
He stops almost reaching her lips and lets it hang. "I wanted you for so long."he breathes on her.
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
He smells her sweet scent of peony. Her eyes soften and her lips tremble. He dips into her then. She gasps in the kiss.
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
He growls as she starts to fall. He holds her up kissing her harder, tasting her lips. Soft and pink.
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
He feels her hands rest on his shoulders she starts to kiss back. He pulls her in more, feeling her chest press against his.
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
There are gasps in between their breaths. Finally when he is satisfied he pulls away from her.
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
Heavy breathing is heard. He puts her down and gives her the 3 items. "Take them back. I don't want them anymore."
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
She looks up gratefully still stunned from the passionate kiss. He holds her one last time then flits away. Then… WAKE
Dark blue ceiling….Hiei sits up, panting. He looks around the room and finds the clock. 5:00am. It is still dark. He catches his breath and leans against the pillow. Another dream. He shivered. That was too much.
He looked down at Botan. Her eyes were closed and her side rose up and down steadily. He sighs relief but his face is hot. His heart still beating as a reminder. 'That was so…much. Why in the hell would I dream that?' He stands up. 'I've gotta go. Maybe some training will help me.' He takes one last glance at Botan. He kneels down, sweeps the hair from her cheek, and gives her a soft peck. 'At least you won't be scared Onna. Just sleep.' And he leaves.
DREAM
Love… I don't like to see so much painBotan finds herself running. She can't see well though, it's foggy. Then she hears footsteps running beside her. "Something's wrong with this stupid watch! It keeps saying one mile away and yet it's been more than that!" She recognizes Yusuke's voice.
I get so tired of working so hard for out survival
"He is deceiving us by luring us to him." Yusuke curses as then end up in front of an old warehouse. Yusuke smashes in the door. She tries to stop him but he blindly runs in. 'He's so worried about Keiko. Oh Hiei why?'
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
She follows in and finds Yusuke decking normal humans to the ground. She is startled by Yusuke's angry yell. "HIEI! You Bastard!! Come out here!" Out from the shadows Hiei appears. The ningens come with Keiko.
And all my instincts, they return
Botan readies herself, scared and unwilling. Hiei expression changes when his eyes land on Botan. They flicker and he grunts stepping forward. "So you do have Keiko."Yusuke says through clenched teeth. Hiei's attention snaps to Yusuke again.
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
"Yes…I'll trade you her if you'll give me the rest of the treasures." Yusuke takes out the loot. Botan tries to protest but Yusuke ignores her. "Good set them there."The demon points over to halfway between them. The controlled bodies drop Keiko into her arms.
without a noise,
Botan looks down remembering the demon eye. 'What? There is nothing there?' Botan thinks. She holds Keiko carefully. "I can't let you have those treasures!"Yusuke declares and balls his hands into a fist. She watches Yusuke jump into action and just when he is about to punch Hiei he disappears and reappears running towards her!
without my pride
Her eyes widen as she feels his arm hook her and he jumps onto one of the warehouse boxes. She sees Yusuke turn around quickly. "HEY!" To Botan's horror she finds the shadow sword's blade near her face. "If you want her alive I suggest you take your girlfriend and leave. Then I will promise to return her safely." She gulps and trembles.
I reach out from the insideChocolate alarmed brown eyes are looking at her. "Go Yusuke, I'll be fine, just get Keiko home."she reassures him. He has to get out or Keiko might get involved in more danger. He nods reluctantly and carefully picks up his friend and slipped out. There were a couple of seconds before he sheathes his sword and she feels his arm loosen and let go.
In your eyes
the light the heat
She turned around to face him. He was taller than before. She looks up remembering what he had said on the rooftop. His eyes are gentle red orbs staring down at her. "What are you going to do with me?"
in your eyes
I am complete
She suddenly feels his hands on her hips and rubs them up and down her sides. A shiver runs down her spine. It feels so nice. 'He does care.' Out of affection for him she places a hand on his hot cheek. It is soft and he purrs into it. His eyes flicker at this act and she feels his arms come around her pulling her face closer to his.
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
She feels her heart beat faster as she is drawn to his lips. He suddenly stops only centimeters away from her mouth. His eyes flicker, "I wanted you for so long." She feels the same way and her eyes cloud up.
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
She can smell his peppermint scent and her lips hesitate. Then his head moves forward quickly and she feels him dive into her mouth. She gasps surprised by his action. Her knees buckle under her and a growl rumbles from his throat.
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
She feels his strong arms pull her up and kissing her harder. His lips are eager and passionate. Her trembling hands hold onto his should and she leans in kissing him back. He answers by pulling her in more, her breasts pressing against his chest.
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
She gasps breathing in air as he is and then finally is satisfied and pulls away. She pants catching her breath and he sets her back down on her feet. He shoves the items into her hands. "Take them back. I don't want them anymore."He explains.
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
She looks up relieved and gives him a warm smile. He embraces her once more and then he disappears before her. She smiles still, the case is closed. She turns around dazed and…WAKE
Darkness…then lit with a tiny film of gold. Botan's heart feels light and she shivers. She can see the tiny slit of the sun rising over the hills. She then notices Hiei is gone. Botan squints her eyes to read the clock. 7:30.
'How long has he been gone?' she turns to look at Yusuke who is still asleep. She smells a weak scent of peppermint on her hair and touches her cheek. She feels warm but is afraid to accept it. "That dream…I had another." She shivers again. 'It felt so real.'
Well that was a bit long, no? I like this chapter though. I had so many ideas!!! So please review!! I really want to know how you felt about it. The song is called "In your eyes". You should listen to it!! I have it recorded so I listen to it all the time.

Love… I don't like to see so much pain I reach out from the inside
