Chapter 6:Lies

Yusuke watched Botan and Keiko as they watched Hiei shift uncomfortably away from Yukina, who was being watched by Kuwabara.

"Luckily" for Hiei, as soon as he ran out of space to scoot away on, Yusuke got up and tapped him on the arm, signaling for him to follow. The fire demon jumped on the opportunity and nearly ran into Yusuke in his haste to get away from his sister. They faced eachother in the hall.

Yusuke spoke first. "Geez, I asked you to follow me, not run me over!"

"What do you want, tantei?"

Yusuke tried to make his face it's straightest. He needed it to be that way for his plan to work. "I know what happened."

Hiei's facial expression didn't change, but he blinked, letting Yusuke know his comment hit a mark. Either that or he just needed to blink at the time... "What?"

Yusuke tried to play it off. "You know... With you and... You know who..."

Of course, he had no idea who 'you know who' was, but Hiei was too out of it to realize that. "...Who told you?"

"She did." He nodded his head over to the two possible "shes", who happened to be sitting next to each other watching him. Glaring at him...

'Leave it to that...that josei to flap her gums to everyone in the room,' Hiei thought, furious, "Mental note: Kill Botan.' "So?"

"So..." Yusuke continued, nonchalantly, "What are you going to do about it?"

"That, detective, is none of your business." With that, Hiei walked away without giving Yusuke a chance to get more information out of him. Not that he got any in the first place...


Hiei remembered his little couch problem so he stood again. Time to start a nearly pointless argument for the sake of getting away from my sister. "Onna, get out here."

Botan got up slowly, not sure what he wanted.

Kuwabara spoke up as soon as Botan made it to the door. "What is with you guys today? Why do you keep calling eachother out of the room? Keiko, Yukina. Keiko, Yukina, Botan. Botan, Hiei. Yusuke, Keiko. Yusuke, Hiei... What little secret is going around? Is it about me?"

With that statement, Yukina began piecing it all together: The suspicious looks from Yusuke. The obvious telepathic conversation between Botan and Kurama- definitely an argument. The giant gap growing between herself and Hiei every second...

"Cause if it's about me..." he trailed off seeing the look of disbelief on Yukina's face.

"Botan... You didn't..." Her eyes flickered over to Hiei, "Tell him..."

As we all know, Botan is a crappy liar. "No, of course not!" she said in her uneven lying voice.

Yukina, having been around Botan enough to notice her habits, saw right through her. "You did..." Her eyes watered, threatening to spill tears.

"Iie! No, I would never-"

"Liar!" the other girl sniffed loudly. "I never told anyone about... in the tournament when you-"

Botan cut her off with a loud voice. "NOW, NOw, Yukina. No need to bring that up!"

"You don't want others to know about that, but you turn around and..." She gave one teary-eyedglance at the room of shocked and confused people. "And..." She bounded out of the room, the falling tear gems making a soft pitter on the floor.

Keiko and Kuwabara immediately yelled at Botan. "Why'd you have to go and do that?"

"Yeah! Uh, what exectly did she do?"

"Duh! She-"

"KEIKO, you don't want to make things worse, right?" Botan said, making sure Hiei didn't get any other reasons to kill them all.

She scratched her head, sheepishly. "Oh, yeah... Sorry..." her angry composure came back immediately. "But that doesn't change the fact that you blabbed to everybody in the room!"

"I did not! I only told Hiei! And Kurama found out by himself!"

"The detective?" Hiei reminded Botan.

"Yusuke? I never said anything to him."

"Then why does he..." Hiei actually went over the conversation in his head and realized that Yusuke, in fact, knew nothing. He glared at him. "...Nevermind..." Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Kuwabara easing towards the door. "Just where do you think you're going?"

The carrothead(that's what my friends and I call him along with Pizzahead, Dum-dum Carrot Pizza Boy etc...) froze. "Uhh, I was just going to talk to Yukina. She needs comforting..."

"Not from a fool, she doesn't." Hiei was about to leave, but Kurama stopped him.

"Do you think that is wise? You never know what might happen..."

"Nothing's happening, fox." He followed his sister before any horrible ideas popped into his head.
