I know it took a while to update but I had the school play to keep me busy. I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. =========================================== ===================== == It was the day after Botan had given the Reakai Tantai the briefing for their next case. She was growing impatient, the humans and Kurama, were over an hour late. The ferry girl tried talking to Hiei, but she wasn't surprised when he gave her the cold shoulder.
The mission has a lot to do with his past, she thought. It really no different then how cheery I acted on our last case. We all have our roles to play. "Hiei, be careful. You saw how tiring my mask was for me. " Botan's whisper was almost too soft for Hiei to hear but he still took it to heart.

There was an awkward silence around the couple for a few minutes, and then the other three group members showed up.
"Sorry, We're late, Kurama said. It took awhile to pack, considering that we were taking out winter gear in May. Kurama and I had to go to Kuwabara's house so that our Mothers wouldn't get too curious." Yusuke explained.

The normal teasing and joking proceeded except that Hiei didn't once insult Kuwabara, and Botan opened the portal while looking at the flame Koorime with concern. Only Hiei noticed it however, as the others were more concerned with teasing each other and getting themselves and their gear through the portal.
Why are you looking at me like that?

This is going to be harder on you then the others, be careful "Hn," The flame koorime's emotional walls were up higher than ever, but he was still touched by Botan's remarks. ===================== ================= ======================= Botan is supposed to be ooc when it's just her or just her and Hiei.
I am not going to apologize for short chapters, their just how I write
