When You Can't See The Light
Chapter Five : A Moonlit Song
Normal POV
Botan woke up in Hiei's spacious room. It was huge and empty. It had a very few things, a king sized bed, a book case packed with fat books, a table with a single chair in the middle of the room, a very plain rug, and a couch near the window. She looked out the window and noticed it was maybe noon. She found her clothes laid on the couch and food on the table. Hiei was gone. She sighed deeply.
"I'm so stupid." Botan told nobody. The door then swung opened and a maid came in. She had light reddish hair and chocolate colored eyes much like Yusuke's. She walked in very quietly and began to clean, totally unaware that was Botan there.
"Hi!" Botan went back to her perky voice.
"Huh? Oh my, I'm sorry I didn't notice you!" Her voice suited her very much. She brushed off her dress and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry!"
"Oh no! Don't apologize! It's ok! My name's Botan by the way!"
"Um. My name is Hana" She sounded so nervous.
"Don't be nervous, I don't bite!" Botan flashed a friendly smile. Hana giggled.
"So you're a maid here?"
"Yes, I'm actually new here. Oh my, I have to clean the other rooms! It was very nice meeting you."
"Hey, let's meet again, ok?" Hana was a little surprised. "We can be friends!" Botan beamed.
She seemed very surprised. "Ok!" Hana appeared very happy.
"I'll see you later then!" Hana left leaving Botan alone. Botan was happy she had made a new friend. She might have to stay in Makai for a long time, why not make friends now? She finished the food in front of her and went to find Hiei.
Botan's POV
"Uh oh. I'm lost." I sweat dropped. The castle was huge and you bare saw people pass by.
"Great." I looked to find somebody who could help. I saw a huge red door and looked a it curiously.
"Come in." The voice made me jump. The voice sounded very familiar, hesitantly I pushed the huge door open. There I saw Mukuro sitting on a huge couch.
"Ah, Botan I was expecting you!" Mukuro smiled. "Sit down." She was very friendly, so I sat down on a chair next to the table.
"Tea?" She asked. I shook my head. "Well I'll get straight to the point then."
She sipped her tea. "I heard what happened to Koenma." I stiffened.
"Ye...yes..?" My voice was very shaky, I couldn't control it.
"Do you know what's happening in Makai right now?"
"No."
"A war" Her voice became serious.
"A war! But I thought you and Shura were friends?"
"I thought so too until he sent troops into my territory. I heard he's trying to take over the three worlds. I think he might be responsible for Koenma's death."
"What's happening...?" I nearly fainted again. I was so confused.
"I'm sorry Botan, but we're not sure about Koenma's death. I'm afraid you're our only link."
"I didn't see much, but I kinda saw the man who killed Koenma."
"I need your information. Plus we need to keep you safe, so I want you to stay in the castle." I frowned.
"Will I be able to return to Ningenkai anytime soon?"
"I'm not sure." She looked at me sadly and shrugged. "Don't worry, when we end this war you can go back to Ningenkai."
"Thank you." I tried to smile, but I couldn't. Yusuke, Keiko, Shizuru, Kuwabara, and Yukina, I miss them so much. Wait! Yukina? Yukina's tear gem! I can't believe I forgot!
"Botan?"
"I'm sorry but where's Hiei?"
"I think he's training outside, if you want I can have someone take you to him."
"That would be great, thanks!"
Normal POV
Hiei was training with his katana when he felt Botan's ki. He sheathed his katana and put his shirt back on. Botan walked out of the woods in time to see Hiei pull his shirt over his head.
"What do want onna?"
"Um. Yukina," Hiei flinched at her name, she gulped. "Yukina wanted me to give this to you." She held out her hand with the gem. It delicately laid in the middle of her palm. Hiei didn't say anything, he just stared at the flawless pearl. There was silence.
"She said," Botan paused, "She said she believes in you." Instantly, Hiei's harsh blood eyes softened. They almost had a childlike innocence in them. He took the gem without a word and clutched it in his hand. He placed it in his pocket making sure it was safe, and muttered something.
"What?" Botan spoke loudly.
Hiei shouted "I said thank you!" He turned away and began training again. She grinned. 'Hiei's a nice guy after all!'
When Hiei finished they both walked back to the castle.
Out of nowhere Hiei spoke, "Onna, Why were you crying when I left?"
Botan froze, unsure of what to say. "I... I guess I was really worried. I don't know, but seeing you like that made my eyes water."
'She cared.' Hiei thought to himself. 'Why would a ferry girl, a being one step away from an angel, care about me?' He had never been exactly nice to her. She always seems to surprise Hiei with her kindness. Just then amethyst met crimson. The moonlight gulfed both of them in the night. They didn't say anything for a while, not wanting to break the silence between them.
"Hiei..." Botan was first to speak.
"Hey Hiei, Botan!" Someone came running down the hall.
"KURAMA?"
Botan's POV
"Kitsune." Hiei greeted him back.
"Kurama what are you doing here?" I flung my arms around him happy to see an old friend. I didn't expect him to be in Mukuro's territory, seeing as he and Yomi were old friends.
"Well when ka-san died I came here look after Hiei and became his adviser." Kurama hadn't changed one bit. He was still very handsome in his Shuuichi form. His red hair might have gotten a little longer, but his emerald eyes still had that shine to them.
"I'm sorry about Reikai, Botan."
"It's ok, but at least I got to see you guys again!" I flashed my "100-watt" smile at both of them. Kurama smiled back while Hiei just 'hn'ed.
When we got back to the castle Hiei wanted to Kurama alone so they left me in Hiei's room. I didn't mind much. I just looked out the window and sung one of my favorite songs in the moonlight.
"Time, where did
you go?"
"Why did you leave
me here alone."
Ironic, no? Anyway keep checking for my updates! And please leave reviews if you can!
