Sarasaki High's Gaffe
Chapter Nine - Slumber Party!
Botan opened one of her eyes and looked to see Yukina, still with her eyes shut together hardly. Botan looked around, they were in some kind of forest looking scenery.
"Yukina." Botan whispered, "Yukina!" She called again as Yukina's eyes opened. She looked around confused,
"Botan. Where are we?" She asked, standing and rubbing the dirt off her blue kimono. Botan stood up beside her, still looking around for a clue.
"I do not know Yukina." Botan replied, 'Um.'
"In the woods." the two heard and snapped their heads quickly towards the direction, which was above, in a tree. "You're lucky I was spying on you."
"You saved us Hiei-san?" Yukina asked, clasping her hands together as he smirked. "Yes." He simply replied, jumping out the tree.
"That's not the point Yukina." Botan said in a sing-song voice, walking weirdly towards the two. "He was spying on us and our little conversation." She said embarrassed with a huge shade of red on her cheeks.
"Hn." He smirked. Yukina covered her mouth again, giggling behind her hand. "It was kind of interesting.. except the fact I didn't hear all of it."
"What did you hear!?" She said standing, almost face to face with him. (ok, ok. I know Botan's way taller than he is, but I'm making it that Hiei is taller, way taller than Yukina, ok?)
"I heard Keiko saying something about Yusuke being drunk and having to leave." Hiei said messing with the bandages on his arm, "That's when the car came and I quickly took you both out of the way-"
He paused and walked a few feet from them and stopped, "Or else you would've been killed." He said walking towards his tree, to sit down.
"I know you couldn't stand living without Yukina." Botan said smiling, "That's so sweet." Yukina blushed.
"Hiei." She said smiling at him, he gave her a small peek of a smile. She sighed and lost her smile, "Botan." She said turning her gaze to her.
"Yes?" Botan answered.
"Oh nothing. I.. forgot what I was about to say." Yukina fanned a hand at her. Botan smiled, laughing goofily with a sweat drop.
"Hiei, arigatou." She said, hugging him as he sat up against the tree from slumping. His eyes widened as Botan watched, so delighted from the scene.
Hiei made a weird face and then relaxed when Yukina let loose of him. "You're always watching me and so protective." She added. "I feel like.. we were meant to be together or something."
Botan's eyes widened. 'Uh oh' she thought.
"Uh Yukina." Hiei said standing up as he saw Yukina leaning towards him.
"I understand Hiei, you don't like to be in public when that happens?" She asked, "or is it you love someone else?"
"No, I do love you-" He said glancing at Botan with trouble in his eyes, "-in a special way." He said, making Yukina's face expression become bewildered.
"In a special way?" She asked.
"Uh Yukina!" Botan said walking over and putting her hands on her shoulder, "He's means like, you're special to him and h-he.. just thinks you're someone who he needs to protect, like a princess!"
Hiei nodded.
Yukina looked at Botan, "You're so silly. I know that Hiei loves me. It's just that he doesn't want to admit it." She looked at Hiei, "I know how people are." She said smiling at him.
"No Yukina." He said as Yukina looked at him disappointed.
"What? You don't love me?"
"Yeah I mean- not like-"
"In a sister-brotherly way!" Botan blurted as she saw Yukina get ready to make contact with him. She turned around shocked.
"S-sister-brotherly way? You mean Hiei's my brother?" Yukina asked, smiling widely. Hiei glared at Botan from behind Yukina's back.
"Hiei?" She turned around, still smiling. "Is that true?" She asked grabbing his hands. Hiei sighed, 'I cannot lie anymore. I have to tell her.' He told himself.
"Yes."
Silence once again, appeared.
"Why didn't anybody tell me?" Yukina said glancing at both of them. "I wouldn't have to worry so much about finding him anymore. Was there a reason?"
"Yukina, I can explain it." Hiei said looking deeply into her eyes. "One simple reason."
"What is that?"
"Well, I didn't want you to know about mother and how bad I'd make you look. I'm a bad person, remember when I chose to get this?" He said rubbing his bandana, "My jagan?"
Yukina's mouth flung open, "Yeah." He said with a sigh, "I thought maybe it would make me have an bad impression on you. I didn't want you to know about our mother, how she suffered."
Yukina looked down, "Hiei. I already knew about momma." She said lowering her eyebrows, "And no, I don't care that you have your Jagan. I still love you! You don't look as awful as you make it seems."
Hiei turned around to face her, "Really."
She nodded, smiling again. "If you don't mind. I'd really like to know where exactly-"
"Here I am Yukina!" She heard and turned to see Kuwabara running towards her. "Ahahaha, I was so worried about you." He said, the others ran over behind him.
"Hiei." Hiei heard somebody from where they were. It was Jin and Sazuka.
"Jin. Sazuka." He replied and smirked at them, "Hn. What brings you here?"
"Just an ol visit." Jin said looking at him with his fangs still on the outside of his lip. He smiled.
"Botan! Yukina!" Keiko said running over to them. "How-.. where did you go?" She asked looking at the two of them smiling.
"Hiei!" Yukina said as everybody looked at the koorime. He smirked and closed his eyes. "Oh Hiei, arigatou!" Keiko shouted.
"Hiei? Saved you Yukina?" Kuwabara said looking at Hiei in disgust, "Uh well, I guess I owe it to you shrimp. Thanks." He said as Hiei gave him a slow blink, 'Victory is mine.'
"Ok shrimp I know what you were thinking. Kuwabara's a punk and now you can just run over me, well think again!" Hiei heard Kuwabara's voice trail off as Yusuke, Yukina, and Keiko pulled him along.
Masqoshki, Ryo, Tang, Okita and Saluki were chatting with Botan. "So, you're ok?" Okita asked, resting her hand on Botan's shoulder.
"A-ok!" She shouted with a peace sign. Everybody laughed.
"C'mon Botan! Lets go back to your house, slumber party." Saluki said in a sing-song voice. Botan gasped,
"I forgot about that." She said covering her face, "If you don't mind starting it up without me, I'll be the-"
"Ok Botan." Saluki shooed her as the group walked off, leaving her. Botan turned to Hiei, who was staring at her, waiting for privacy.
"Um." Botan said in a trembling voice.
Hiei stood and took out his katana. "Oh Hiei please don't kill me!" She shouted as she got on the ground and grabbed onto his leg.
"You stupid baka get up," He said in a chuckling-like voice, "I'm not going to kill you. I just wanted to threaten you." He smirked. Botan stood thanking him.
"I'm really sorry!" She apologized as Hiei sighed.
"Whatever. Now that the cat's out of the bag, I guess I have nothing to hide now." He said turning to walk off.
"Hey matte." Botan said, making him turn around. "What really happened to your kasaan?" She asked. Hiei looked down and walked back over to the tree he was sitting at.
"I don't feel like talking about it. Don't ever ask about that." He requested, "Unless you want to see a mad demon at your heels." He added.
Botan sighed, "Ok." She song to him. "I never thanked you." She said, waiting for Hiei to say something.
"Well?" He said.
Botan grinned, "Thanks!" She shouted and tried to hug him. Hiei backed away. Botan looked at him in a weird way, "Uh yeah, thanks." She said turning to walk away.
"Well I didn't want to see my sister die." He startled her with his sharp outburst.
"Yes, I'm sure of that. Nobody would want that." She said and continued to walk again.
"I didn't want to see you die either." He said as Botan stopped in her tracks. She stood facing the way she was walking, then turned around. Hiei was gone.
She closed her eyes with a smile and continued to walk.
After she walked a ways, finally reaching her house, she glanced across the street to see Yusuke getting fussed at by his mother. Botan shook her head and continued to walk to her house.
"Finally Botan!" Saluki quickly opened the door. She didn't have on her football costume anymore, she had her green hair in rollers now with her sleeping pjs on.
"Come on!" She pulled her panting friend into the house as Botan looked to see a lot of girls she knew watching a movie on tv and a big bowl of popcorn.
"Hey Botan." Okita greeted first as everybody else joined in. Keiko wasn't there, neither Yukina. Botan sighed a small sigh then smiled, "Hi guys." She replied.
"We're watching the whole collection of Halloween, Friday 13th, and Scream movies!" The girl who was at the bar with the short blonde hair, named Emi, said.
"I've seen them all." Botan said quirking her brows up and down. The girls laughed and turned the movie off.
"Plan B!" Shouted a black haired girl with brown highlights, "Truth or Dare.. in the dark!" She shouted as they all began to jump around.
"Wait, in the dark? What's the difference?" Asked a short haired brunette, that looked like Keiko. Everybody laughed, "Makes it more exciting." Somebody replied.
"C'mon! Up to Botan's room." She shouted as everybody ran up the stairs. The girl who was leading stopped them,
"Urasai.." She said as everybody looked at her confused.
"What do you hear?" A random girl asked.
"Somebody's in Botan's room.. asleep!" The girl shouted as Botan made her way to the front. She peeked into the dark room and found some red haired girl lying there.
"I think it's a girl." Botan whispered, "Some red head." She said as somebody spoke up with a suggestion, "Get the lotion!" She whispered.
"No, don't." Botan said making everybody 'aw.' Some snuck into the room silently to see who it was. The red head, who was supposed to be a girl, was a guy from the body's figure.
Kurama laid snoring softly, moving serenely to turn over occasionally. All the girls were in awe as the red head turned over, exposing his face.
"I have a great idea!" Emi whispered, "Lets play a little dress up first." She winked at them as they all nodded in agreement.
"Hey Shuichi." A girl sang in a whispering tone. "Wake up." She added.
"Not now.. mm-kasaan." He mumbled as everybody giggled softly, trying not to wake him up.
"Who's your girlfriend?" The same girl asked as everybody snickered again.
Kurama mumbled something, "Kasaan I don't.. I don't have a girlfriend." The girls looked shocked at each other. "Please go away." He mumbled and took the pillow over top of his head.
"Botan wake him up!" Another random girl demanded. Botan calmed them down as she slid the pillow out of his grip. She held the pillow over her head,
"NO!" A girl shouted as Kurama's eyes snapped open weakly as he moaned. He saw Botan with a pillow over her head, getting ready to hit him and a whole lot of girls surrounding.
He shot up, "Woah!" He shouted as Botan dropped the pillow innocently. "Where.." He said looking around in Botan's room. He stood weakly. The girls made a path for him.
"What am I doing here?" He asked, looking down to see he still had his Halloween costume on.
Botan laughed, "I don't know. Maybe you fell asleep in my room?" She said as a question. Kurama smirked.
"Hey Shuichi." Emi said as Kurama looked at her and nodded as if it was a way of greeting her. "Hey Shuichi." Another girl said as he walked out the room and everybody followed.
One of them elbowed Botan, "Oh Ku-erm-Shuichi! Why don't you stay over with everybody?" She asked with a smile, Kurama was shocked.
"Well if you wanted to be alone with me all you had to do is tell me." He said with a smirk. Everybody looked at Botan weirdly,
"No he's just a little still intoxicated." She said nervously laughing as everybody else soon joined in the laughing. Kurama looked around, confusedly.
"I don't think kasaan-"
"Kasaan this, kasaan that Shuichi!" A girl said,
"Yeah, don't worry. One night wouldn't hurt." She said smiling at him with pleading eyes. He sighed and looked down,
"If only everybody promise not to act like my fan girls."
"Don't worry Shuichi, none of us are your fan girls, we hate them wenches." A girl said as everybody roared a loud 'yeah!' Kurama chuckled.
"So?" Everybody said.
"O-.. k." He replied as they all went wild jumping up and down. Kurama regretted it for awhile, 'I guess having girls around wouldn't hurt that much.' He thought.
"Now," Emi said, quirking her eyebrows up and down. Everybody smirked and turned to poor Kurama. He quirked one eyebrow up.
After a long period of silence..
"Get him!" Some of them shouted as Kurama's eyes bugged out. They grabbed him and pulled him down the steps as he struggled to break a loose.
They got him down and pinned him down, once again this has happened to him on the same night. "Get the hair curlers!" "And the clothes!" "Get him some heels!" "Make up!"
After getting all the stuff, some held his arms and his legs as the remaining held his head still. Botan applied some lipstick as he tried to spit it out. Then she put him on some eye shadow,
"No! Stop it!" He shouted and shouted as they kept giggling. Botan looked around as she held up her white skirt and light pink tank top with white hearts on it. Kurama shook his head rapidly.
"Yeah!" They shouted as they pulled his costume off, seeing he had on pants and a t-shirt under it. Kurama smirked, 'They wouldn't-' "DARE!!!" He shouted as they took his pants off. (lol)
Everybody laughed so hard they almost let him go loose. Botan pulled the skirt up on him and then held up the tank top. Emi took off his t-shirt and smirked evilly.
"You promised!" He shouted as Botan pulled the tank top over his head.
"Aw." Everybody said as Kurama glared at them now. "Shuichi, you're so kawaii!" They shouted as he growled at them from under his breath.
"Now, curl his hair!" "Put the heels on!" Somebody said as they shoved the heels on his foot halfway and curled his hair with the steam curlers.
Soon, they were finished and they made him stand up. He stood, shaking from trying to stand in heels. Everybody laughed as he was turned a loose.
He kicked the shoes off his feet and it hit the wall, making everybody stop laughing and shut up. "You think this is funny?" He asked, taking the tank top off. "This is cruel!" He shouted.
"Oh Shuichi were-"
"Sorry? Aha, I knew you would be." He said with a big sigh, "I wish I could just let my youko side rip out right now and just-" he forgot they didn't know about it.
"Shuichi we're sorry." Another girl, Indian-looking, said as everybody agreed with another nod. Kurama narrowed his eyes.
"Excuse me, but I'm going to go home now." He said walking to the door, still in the skirt and with make up on. Some girls even snickered behind their hands.
Botan grinned and ran behind him as everybody else wanted to follow but Botan told them to stay back. She followed him outside and closed the door.
"Shuichi. I mean Kurama." She said walking swiftly to keep up with Kurama. "Gomen but I thought it was fun." She said trying to stop him from walking away. "Hey!"
He stopped as she ran into him and began to laugh again. "You've done stupid things before.. but nothing as stupid as this." He said walking again.
"Kurama please!" She shouted as she ran up to him and grabbed his arm. He took his arm out of hers and crossed them with a his eyes close.
"They're sorry." She said. Kurama opened his eyes and began to smile.
"Heh, well." He said shyly. "I guess it won't that bad." He said putting an arm behind his head. "But never do it again." He commanded.
"Oh Kurama-kun!" She shouted and hugged him, "I knew you'd understand." She shoved him off of her when she felt he was getting too touchy.
"What do we have here?" They heard somebody say as they looked to see Yusuke standing on his porch with a smirk. "What the HECK is Kurama wearing!?" Yusuke shouted and began to laugh out loud.
"Uh oh." Botan said blushing at Kurama.
