A/n: Konbowa.. Konichiwa.. um, what's that other word? Ohayo! Surprised that Hiei's the mystery guy? I'm thinking of reconsidering but I'm going to give it a try. R/r.
Sarasaki High's Gaffe
Chapter Four - Fallen For You
Soft music played and could be heard from outside of the auditorium, even by elders. It was the PTA night and the girl's Ballet Performance night. The auditorium was full of parents and friends.
On stage, the ballerinas twirled around the center dancer as the scenery was set to a swan-like pond scene. Soft and delicate as everyone sat listening and watching the soothing dance of Bohemia.
Botan, who was centered, twirls as the others circled her repeating with their light pink, thin ballet skirts. Botan had on a light blue suit, almost matching her hair in a bun. The bright purple spotlight was on her.
After moments of soft and easing music to the ears, a sudden outburst of music happened, making almost everybody gasp and jump awake. The boys came running out with black dress pants and red shirts, matching the now blazing scenery which was red and orange.
Later after the show, everybody met out in the main location of the school as the parents chatted to the teachers and students to their friends.
"Oh you were wonderful Shuichi!" Shiori cupped Kurama's chin and gave him a small kiss. "Wonderful." She repeated as little Shuichi (I don't really know his name) appeared from behind her.
Minat'te was there also, of course she came every PTA night. She walked over to the group of familiar faces, "Well konbowa minna!" She said as she appeared behind Botan and wrapped her arms around her,
"Bo-chan was a show wasn't she?" She bragged as Botan laughed nervously. Everybody greeted her and complimented about the show.
"May I ask Shuichi, who is this?" Shiori said stepping over to the other mother with her daughter.
"I'm Botan's mother, Minat'te Yakima. Just call me Minat'te." She said with a cheerful smirk. Shiori returned the smile, "I'm Shiori Minamino." She said as Minat'te bowed her head.
The two mothers talked and talked while other people approached them, "May I say, that was quite a show." Koenma said as everyone turned to him as he chuckled, "Hi everybody!"
"Koenma-sama!" Botan shouted as she ran over to give him a hug, "What are you doing here?" She asked as Minat'te watched confused.
"You know this guy Bo-chan?" Minat'te asked as the tall teenage boy looked at her and quickly snapped the pacifier out of his mouth, "I'm Koenma ma'am. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah but who's Koenma and how do he know my daughter?" Minat'te chuckled.
"Oh um.. um-"
"Kasaan. He's my guardian! I mean guidance counselor." Botan shouted as Koenma nodded quickly. Minat'te bowed to him, "How do you do sir?"
"Fine."
"Why would she ask why you were here if you're her guidance counselor?" Minat'te tried getting the truth.
"He's my therapy doctor! He.. has this office I go to sometimes to talk about.. uh, life!" She said as she simply quirked her brows. Minat'te closed her eyes, "Ok. Enough Bo-chany, I'll be waiting in the car."
Minat'te waved goodbye to Shiori and the gang as Botan stepped back over to the group. Shizuru and Yukina had also appeared, "Hey Botan, nice show." They both said to her as she smiled.
"Arigatou." She said as Keiko put an arm around her neck, "You were great." Keiko said as Botan thanked her personally also. Kurama had been watching her and then suddenly turned to Yusuke.
Botan quirked her eye brows, "I guess I'll be heading out now." Botan saw someone familiar and waved at Atsuko who was walking over to Yusuke.
"Urameshi your mom's here!" Botan could hear Kuwabara in the background over everyone as she walked out the doors of the school to walk into somebody, "Oh gomen Hiei-san."
"Konbowa." He greeted her as she stopped in her tracks and turned to see Hiei looking at her as if this was normal.
"Uh, ohayo." She said as Hiei walked over to her and began to walk beside her to the car, "Nice show. I mean, the beginning was kind of rubbish but the outburst made it ok."
"Arigatou I guess." She laughed as she finally approached her mother's tanned Expedition. "I can't believe you came to watch something like that!" She said as she opened the door to the front seat.
"Well I came to see the kitsune and pick at him. Now I'm picking on you." He smirked a silly looking smirk. "Ja ne." He said as he walked over towards the doors of the school.
As Botan jumped into the seat, Kurama had ran out to the car, "Um, hey Botan." Kurama waved at her mother too. "I was wondering if you'd like to hang out tomorrow with me, Yusuke and probably Hiei?"
Botan looked at her mother and back at the red head boy, "Sure Kurama-kun." She said as he smiled a crooked smile, "Ok, ja ne." He said backing from the car as Botan's tented window went up.
Hiei, who had been behind him for awhile jumped up in front of him as he turned around, "Boo!" He said as Kurama jumped with a short chuckle, "What are you doing here?"
"Hn, you told me to come. And I wanted to pick on you." Hiei said crossing his arms. Kurama rolled his eyes, "Well I do remember inviting you but don't remember telling you to pick on me."
"Picking on you wasn't a choice." Hiei said with a snicker. Kurama chuckled a bit before they began to walk towards the doors once again.
"So, what were you talking to Botan about?" Hiei asked curiously as Kurama looked at him surprised and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Uh, just asked her out." He smiled with satisfaction in his smile. "Finally I got the courage. I mean, I just started to fall for h-"
"Hey now, nobody told you that I was a therapy doctor but I bet your life was probably not as boring as a ningen's." Hiei said as Kurama stopped babbling.
"So what did she say?"
"She said sure." Kurama hugged himself and jumped with a twist. So excited. Hiei shook his head annoyed at the fox's response of a date.
"Hn." Hiei said as he saw Yusuke, Atsuko and Kuwabara walk out laughing loudly. "And then that big girl almost tripped!" Yusuke said as Atsuko laughed harder.
"Guys you coming? We're talking Atsuko into getting us drinks." Yusuke whispered as Kuwabara kept her occupied. Kurama shook his head as Hiei did also.
"Not tonight." Kurama said, "I have to get some sleep. I'm all worn out and I'm ready for tomorrow." Kurama smiled and walked over to Shiori who had started to put Shuichi into the car.
"Going out and hanging is like the usual, why so happy now??" Yusuke asked with an arm behind his head as Hiei smirked, "Because Botan's going." He muttered.
"Nani?" Yusuke and Kuwabara asked as the girls walked out with Koenma.
"Nothing." Hiei said as he quickly took off.
Yusuke looked at Kuwabara and shrugged.
~*~Tomorrow^-^
"Shuichi!" Shiori called in a sing-song voice from downstairs, "Time to wake up." She said as she walked into his room and saw him knocked out snoring aloud. "Shuichi-chan!" She shouted.
Kurama jumped up, "Kasaan are you alright!?" Shiori giggled behind her old crinkle looking hands. Even though she had a bit of wrinkles at quite an early age, her hair was still beautiful and brown. "Hai."
"Holy kami." Kurama said looking at his clock, "12:30!" He shouted as he ran into the shower. Shiori tried to tell him to take his clothes in the bathroom because he had company in the living room.
Kurama came back out in a blue towel tied around his waist tightly as he walked downstairs, "Uh Shuichi."
She said as he kept walking, "Yes ka-SAAN!" He shouted as he ran back upstairs as laughter boomed.
"Honey I tried telling you that you had company." She laughed as she watched her son crotch over gripping his towel embarrassed. "Kasaan." He said as he ran into his room.
Moments later he had dress into a nice pair of loose jeans and a royal blue St. Louis button up blouse. He ran down the steps and saw Kuwabara and Yusuke tossing his mother's vase back and forth,
"Hey! Hey!" Kurama ran over to catch the vase before Kuwabara could. "Respect other people's houses like you want them to."
"Nice interception Kura-SHUICHI!" Yusuke shouted as Shiori walked passed them and into the kitchen. Kuwabara laughed as Yusuke and Kurama sweat dropped.
"Lets get the heck out of here." Yusuke said as they all got up and walked towards the door. "So to the park to get Hiei, right?"
"Right." Kurama said and thought about something, "Oh wait! We gotta go over to Botan's." He said as Kuwabara and Yusuke stopped walking. "Why?"
"Because she's coming with us." Kurama said as he turned around to look at his odd friends. They looked at each other and back to him,
"She can't!" Yusuke shouted.
"Why not?"
"Because she'll ruin our chances of getting girls!"
"So." Kurama shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.
"Unless!" Kuwabara shouted as the two looked at him, "She acts like a lesbian." Kuwabara whispered as Kurama and Yusuke jumped away from him.
"Bad idea, you know she wouldn't do that anyway." Yusuke said walking aside Kurama as they approached his and Botan's house across the street.
"Ah, spoil the fun of the image." He said as he got slapped from Yusuke. The three walked to the front door as Kuwabara knocked the stuffed squirrel over and picked it up.
Minat'te opened the door soon as the doorbell rang, "Konichiwa boys." She said as she motioned them to come in, "Botan you have company!" She shouted up the steps as she walked out with a wave.
The three waved and took a seat on the couch. Occasionally Ryo would run by them and start babbling about anime and et cetera. Then they heard someone walking down the steps screaming something,
"I thought.. I found.. 'what I always wanted!' Bear-with-me-AH!!!" Botan saw the gang sitting on the couch as she ran back upstairs and heard laugher from behind.
"She done the same thing you did Kurama!" Yusuke choked as he coughed as Kuwabara began to slap him on the back. Ryo snickered before running outside.
Botan walked back down stairs after a few minutes of silence and boredom. She captivated their attention when she finally came down. She had on a mini jean skirt with a yellow t-shirt and long yellow socks.
On her shirt it said, 'It's not illegal to be sexy. If it is, lock me up.' Keiko, of course, bought her the shirt when they went on a shopping spree.
"Yay! Finally!" Yusuke jumped up and started to dance around the house. Botan shrugged as Kurama and Kuwabara got off the couch.
"What's with the dress alike today?" She asked as she saw that Kurama had on a blue St. Louis shirt, Kuwabara with a green and Yusuke with a red.
"Uh, it's a schedule we follow." Kurama said as he remembered last week when they all wore their 'White Sox' baseball jersey shirts. Botan smiled, "Player 2, 4, and 6." She snorted.
Yusuke imitated her snort, as he walked towards the door and noticed her shirt, "'It's not illegal to be sexy.' Sure hell isn't." He looked at the two and back at her shirt, "'If it is, lock me up.'"
Yusuke stood silently, "DAHAHAHA!" Yusuke busted out in laughter as tears began to flow down his cheeks. Botan looked at him confused, "Nani? Are you saying I'm ugly?"
"Noooo Botan." Kurama said walking with his hands on her shoulders and shoving her out the door, "You are sexy I MEAN YOU -AREN'T- ugly." He said as he heard Yusuke crying. Botan laughed.
"Come on guys I have to go on a date with Yukina after this." Kuwabara said dragging a tickled Yusuke as Botan and Kurama followed them.
"Woah, we're walking?" Botan asked as they all nodded.
"Why?" Kurama asked.
"Because.. there are cars invited now.." She laughed, "Hello, somebody has to have their license." Botan looked around as they all nodded.
"But no car." Yusuke said chuckling. Botan sighed, "Fine. Where we going?"
"Well I thought maybe going to the park to get Hiei and then-"
"Hiei's coming too?" Botan asked.
"Remember I told you last night he was." Kurama said looking at her curious, "Why are you so up about it?"
"Oh just didn't hear you clearly." Botan lied. "Well lets go then!" She shouted as she grabbed Yusuke and Kuwabara's hand and pulled them.
~*~Park
"Hiei we know you're up there!" Kurama said aloud as the tree shook it's limb. Yusuke and Kuwabara were talking about something while Botan stared at some squirrel far off.
"Hiei." Kurama crossed his arms as a squirrel jumped out and onto his head, "Ah!" He tossed the squirrel off his head and began to stomp it. Yusuke and Kuwabara laughed.
Botan noticed and stopped, "No! Poor squirrelly." She said rubbing the slaughtered creature as he huffed and puffed quickly.
Kurama watched as she rub the squirrel, 'Wow she has a big heart. So big she'd save a fly.' He shook his head and looked up to see Hiei laughing. He jumped out the tree.
"I tossed the squirrel on your head." Hiei said as Kurama rubbed his hair to make sure there was nothing in it. "What a pretty-boy you are." Hiei said as Kurama smiled.
"Yeah!" Botan said playing with his hair, "You should come to my sleepovers." Botan said as Kurama turned around, "Oh really? When's the next one?"
"I'm not sure but I had one last Saturday night and the one before. I guess it's a weekly thing.." She said as she shrugged, "There were so many people I didn't know." She said as Hiei stood in front of her.
"Oh hi Hiei!" She said as she saw the little koorime staring at her chest. She blushed, "Um?"
"Hn.. I was looking at your shirt, don't think other than that." Hiei said crossing his arms as Botan smirked. Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara chuckled lowly. Hiei glared at them, "Seriously!" He grunted.
"Ok, ok. Hiei, we believe ya. Are you coming with us?" Yusuke asked as he stared at some girls walking by him. Hiei hned.
Yusuke took it as a yes and slapped him on the shoulder, "Great now lets go." He suggested as they all started to walk.
They walked around the park for a few, every few steps Kuwabara and Yusuke would start scuffling and Botan jumping onto Kurama's back and Hiei running around in a heart beat.
"Now where we going?" Botan asked, hopping off Kurama's back.
"We're going to the Man Shop." Kuwabara said as Botan looked at them confused. "You wouldn't know about it because you're a girl." He said as the rest of them chuckled.
"Right Kuwabara, you wouldn't know about it either." Yusuke said as Hiei started laughing aloud.
"Urameshi better watch what you say and shrimp! You better stop laughing at everything before I-" Hiei interrupted his speech by laughing louder.
"Whatever guys." Yusuke said as he drug Kuwabara by his ear into the shop as they disappeared into the shop.
Inside, there were guys sitting around with smoke all over the place from smokers and drinkers were scattered at the four seated tables. There were girls dancing on the stage and a crowd around a bull riding machine as a guy rode as fast as he could with one hand.
Botan liked that and the square dancing floor where nobody was because it was guy's day and no guy would dance with another. (YAOI so ew ) Most people was around the stripper stage.
Botan couldn't take her eyes away from a brunette dancing with a red bikini on which the straps were falling down her shoulders. Then Botan saw the girl pulling her thong down and some hands covered her eyes as she heard a big roar.
"Uh-uh Botan. This is too naughty for you to watch." Kurama said to her as she laughed. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei would peak but head over to a table near the bull riding machine.
"I wasn't going to watch anyway!" She shouted as she saw the four sitting at a table and decided to get one from another table and put it between Kuwabara and Yusuke.
"So what do you do here?" She asked as she saw guys glancing at her weird looking hair and giving her the eye.
"Well. We talk about men stuff.. I know it seems girly but we also do it too. Watch the strippers and ride the bull machine." Kuwabara said as he saw nobody would get on.
"YEE-HAW!" A man shouted into the mic as the man jumped off from riding the bull machine as fast as he could.. which was really slow. "Anybody wanna hop on?"
"Yeah!" Kuwabara ran into the bouncy cushioned mat. He hopped on as the bull began to jump around slowly. Botan turned her seat so she could get a good view, "Go Kuwabara!" She shouted.
The bull got faster as Kuwabara began to sling his head every which way. Going half way speed, Kuwabara hit his head on the bull's head and fell off. "Aw!" Everybody shouted.
Botan walked over to help him up, "Alright?" Kuwabara jumped up, "Of course I am! The great Kazuma Kuwabara can take the pain of a metal bat to the head!" Botan laughed.
"How about a bullet to the chest?" Yusuke asked as everybody made way for the teenager as he hopped onto the horse and held up one hand as everybody gasped.
"Let it rip!" Kuwabara shouted as the man turned the machine on and it began to increase speed slowly notch after notch. Botan rooted as Yusuke hopped off. "Yeeeeee-haw!" He shouted as the crowd got boisterous.
"My turn." Kurama said walking up to the bull and hopping on.
"Want to take it slow my little lady?" The man asked as a few guys whistled and called him 'sexy thing.' Kurama glared at the man.
"I'm just kidding Kurama, ready!?" The man asked as Kurama nodded. "Yeah Kurama!" He heard from Botan as everybody looked around to see who it was.
The bull began off slowly but gradually picked up speed as he lifted one hand and started to go faster than Yusuke did. Then soon he got tossed off. "Aw!" Everybody shouted as Kurama got up and clapped.
Botan walked out and asked if he was alright. "Yeap." He replied as he lifted her up in surprised.
"Matte!" She shouted as she saw him trying to put her on. "Yeah!" Everybody shouted as she shook her head. "MATTE!!! MATTE!!!" She shouted to Kurama as he put her on anyway.
"You can do it girl!" A short haired blonde girl shouted from the stripped show side of the room. She must have been a lez. Botan sat clinging onto the bull's saddle tightly.
"Relax my little lady. I'll put as slow as it can go." The announcer said as Botan let loose a little and held to the saddle without a tight grip. It started slowly as she started to laugh at the way she was going up and down.
"Woo!" She heard somebody say in a voice like Yusuke's but not Yusuke.
"Ok now lets turn things up!" The man shouted as she shook her head, "No!!!" The bull went faster and faster until she was going as fast as Kurama and Yusuke were.
"Yee-haw! Ride it cowgirl!" A random guy shouted as everyone got raucous again. Botan lifted a hand and started to laugh again as she heard everybody gasp. It got even faster as she flew every where.
"Holy crap! This girl's going top speed." The man said as everybody got silent. "A new record!" He shouted as everybody was amazed.
Botan's eyes widened as she let loose of the bull and flew off over a table and into another as everybody said, "Ouch."
Kurama, Kuwabara, Yusuke and Hiei walked over to the knocked over table as they looked and saw Botan lying on the ground laughing at nothing.
"Maybe she got a hold onto pot or something." Kuwabara said as Yusuke reached over to pull Botan to her feet.
"Hey!" He shouted as her eyes rolled around in circles then came into view with two Yusuke's. "Hello Yusuke number 1 and 2." She said as everybody laughed.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Kurama asked as he held up three in her face. She hiccupped and looked at them, "Yours." She said as everybody laughed again.
"No how many?" Kurama asked.
"How many what?" Botan asked as her head fell back.
"Fingers." He said moving them.
"I don't know. Can't you count Koenma?" Botan said as she fell out in Yusuke's arms. "She'll be ok." Yusuke said as everybody walked away.
"She called me Koenma." He said as he looked to the floor and laughed. Hiei was rolling on the floor laughing as Kuwabara did also.
"Uh she's drunk guys." Yusuke whispered to Kurama and Kuwabara who wasn't listening. Botan snapped up, "No I'm not! I was just kidding." She giggled kind of annoyingly.
Yusuke snapped his teeth as his cell phone rang. "Ooo you got one of those phones!" Botan shouted as Yusuke nodded, "Yeah, yeah. Ohayo?" He answered as he heard Keiko shouting.
"Whelp looks like Keiko's calling." Kurama chuckled.
"Kurama I heard that!" Keiko shouted on the phone loud enough for him to hear. Yusuke frowned as he hung up on her, "She wants me to meet her at the movies in five. I'll talk to ya later. See ya!"
With that Yusuke ran out the shop as Kuwabara and Hiei looked at Kurama, "Where's he going?"
"To the movies with Keiko." Kurama said now sitting bored at a table. Botan took a seat too.
"So, now that this has gotten boring, where to now?" Kurama asked as Kuwabara yawned and Hiei shrugged.
"I say we go to X-screen." Botan said smiling with her hands in the air. Hiei and Kuwabara quickly disagreed.
"Why not? It'll be fun!" She shouted as Kurama quirked his brows.
"Nothing else to do." Kurama said as Kuwabara gave up and decided to come along. Hiei, had a hard time convincing but finally did.
"Hn." He said in a sigh way, "But I'm not going inside even if I have to stand out and wait!"
~*~X-screen
"I can't believe I'm in these freaking BALLS!" He shouted as he saw a little girl dive under the balls and come back up. He saw a big guy jump into the big pool of balls as many of them flew up in the air.
Kurama and Kuwabara were waving at him from the counter where they were eating pizza. Botan was nowhere in sight until she hopped up in front of Hiei making him fall into the balls.
His whole body got covered as they sunk to the bottom of the balls. Hiei couldn't touch the bottom because of his height. (not made for children but they get in anyway! ) He came back up.
"You stupid- Ow!" He shouted as a plastic ball hit him in the eye. "Ningen girl." He muttered with his hand on his eye. Botan laughed and pulled his hands away from his face to see his eye red around it.
"Ooo gomen Hiei!" She shouted as he jerked his hand away from hers. "You better be." He said as Kuwabara jumped over their heads and they ducked.
"You better watch it you big oaf!" He shouted as Kuwabara threw a bunch of balls at his head. "Grr you baka!" He shouted as Botan joined in. Soon Kurama started.
Hiei got mad and picked up some, "You guys wanna play dodge ball huh?" He asked as he tossed a really fast one and hit Kuwabara in the nose, "OWWW!" He cried as his nose began to bleed.
"Hiei." Kurama's eyes widened as a ball flew towards his fore head which made a loud pop when it made contact. Kurama had a big red mark on his head as he fell out.
Botan, who had been observing began to run into the tunnels and tubes as Hiei used his quick speed and appeared in front of her. With a loud squeal, Hiei popped a ball right between her eyes.
Botan cried out in pain and began to cry like a big baby as she held onto her forehead. "Hiei!" She shouted as she kicked him. Hiei laughed as the same little girl called him a 'meanie' and got hit too.
Hiei stopped laughing as Botan kept crying for minutes and minutes until he spoke up. "Hn!" escaped his mouth, "C'mon! I know it didn't hurt that bad." Hiei grunted.
"Shut up." She shouted.
"You shut up, you don't tell me what to do!" He said as he glared at her and she began to laugh. Hiei lost his glare and gained a confused expression. "Nani?"
"You're so funny looking when you glare." She said laughing more.
"Oh it'll be funny when your face meets my katana!" He shouted as she suddenly stopped laughing. "I'm just messing with you, you idiot girl. I'm getting out of here." He stumbled through the balls.
"No Hiei!" Botan said running up beside him, "C'mon." She said as he kept walking. She grabbed him by the back of his shirt which made him choke and fall into the balls.
Hiei got his glare back as Botan buried him under the balls. "Stop it." He said as she tossed he balls off top of his head. Botan stopped and threw her hands up. "Fine, wussy." She said as she covered her mouth.
Hiei turned around quickly, "What?"
"Nothing." She laughed nervously as Hiei smirked, "I know." He said as he walked over to the exit of the pool of balls. Botan walked up beside him.
Before he got out he tossed a big pile of balls on her and started to run out of the ball pool pin. Botan threw the balls off as she saw him running away laughing.
"Hmm.." She thought to herself as she stared at Kurama who waved at her.
~*~Later that night walking home
"I'll see you guys later." Kuwabara said as he took his separate way from Botan, Hiei, and Kurama. Botan and Kurama waved as Kuwabara ran down his street where Sayko and Shizuru were chatting at.
"Well, next place is yours Botan." Kurama said as they walked passed his house and towards hers.
"I got it kitsune." Hiei said as Kurama snapped around. "Huh?"
"I'll take her home." Hiei said as Kurama made a 'Ooo-interesting' smile on his face. Hiei gave him a growl. Kurama smiled, "Ok. Ja ne Botan- Hiei." He walked to his house.
Botan and Hiei continued down the street silently until they got in front of the house, "Arigatou Hiei-san." Botan said as she walked up her steps. Hiei hned again.
"G'night." He said as Botan looked over her shoulder surprised, "Good night Hiei-san!" She said before entering her house. Hiei slapped himself, 'I didn't just say that.'
"I did." He said to himself. 'I'm fallen.' He thought as he stared at the Yakima House, "I'm fallen for Botan." He said aloud as he began to walk towards the park.
