When You Can't See The Light

Chapter Eight : A Happy Picnic With You

Normal POV

Botan walked into the room after spending the whole day looking for Hiei. She was so wiped out. She changed into the yutaka they always seemed to have laid out for her and collapsed on the bed. Botan shut her eyes and breathed deep, a soothing earthy midnight pine smell filled her nostrils. She rolled the other way and felt some warm air against how cheek. It felt something like breathing. Her eyes shot open. 'BREATHING!' Botan automatically jumped off the bed and landed "oh so gracefully" on her butt. 'Owwwww... That hurt.' Remembering why she jumped off the bed in the first place, she peered over the bed's edge to see who was in it. Her crystal purple eyes landed on the pleasant koorime peacefully slumbering. She got up and got a little closer. She smiled to herself. 'I look for him all day outside, but I find him INSIDE. How ironic.' She giggled and laid beside him, once again she breathed in his intoxicating smell. She shut her eyes and rested her tired body.

Hiei woke up several hours later to see the color of the sky. He realized what was going on. In his hands he held Botan, fast asleep. One of his hands held her head to his chest, the other was wrapped around her back. He blushed (Is that OOC? I dunno.) and let go of her quickly. He went to the window sill and sat down like usual. After leaving the warmth of the bed, he couldn't sleep. He decided that reading make calm him down and went to his desk in the middle of the room. His desk was covered in files on some soldiers and maids, war plans, and graphing charts of the economy in Mukuro's territory. He filed him which took him until about dawn. While filing, he noticed some war plans and files missing. 'That's odd.' He began to search for them everywhere, but instead stumbled on something more interesting. He picked up a crumpled piece of paper he had found under the rug and began to read it.

"Rusaki,

I have arrived like you planned and no one suspects a thing! It's been about one month since I arrived. They trust me too, to believe they own half of Makai! Mukuro's hier doesn't even notice his battle plans missing. It's sort of boring. I wish I could come back. I'm tired of these fools. We'll rule the three worlds soon enough!

The Concealed Flower"

His eyes widened. 'A spy! Why didn't I see it before!' Hiei pounded his head with his fist. Hiei fell silent as Botan shuffled in the bed. He studied her and left, disappearing into the shadows.

Kurama's POV

The file didn't make sense. Everything else seemed right, but that one pestering file. What does Shura mean by flower? He starting to take after his father. I wasn't having any luck, so I went to talk to Hiei again in the morning. I didn't find him in his room, but decided to leave him alone. Wait... If room was empty... Where could Botan be?

Normal POV

Kurama began to search for her frantically, running up and down the stairs, checking behind each and every single door... Exhausted and hungry, he went to the kitchen to eat.

"Hi Kurama!" Kurama fell (anime style).

"B.. Botan! What are you doing here!" He studied her clothes, she was wearing a bandanna to hold her long azure hair back, a light pink cotton apron, some capris, and a white t-shirt that if she raised her arms, would reveal her belly.

"Hana was teaching me how to cook! You should taste her cooking! It's fabulous! I made some too, here!" She held out a spoon with some soup on it.

"No, no thank you, I jus.. GULP!" Botan had stuffed the spoon in his mouth.

"Yummy, huh?"She flashed a successful grin. Kurama was surprised because it was pretty good.

"Yes, it is good!"

"Thanks!" Botan said. Hana peered out behind her. "Ohayo, Kurama-sama." She bowed deeply. He smiled at her. "Ohayo (1)."

"Oh yeah! Kurama do you know where Hiei is?" Her smile was as bright as ever. "I made him some lunch!"

Kurama's look saddened a little. "I'm afraid not. Gomen (2)."

"It's ok, I'll save it for later!" She quietly packed it away.

"You know what, I'm looking for him myself. When I find him I'll tell you." Kurama walked out of the kitchen and started feeling for Hiei's ki. He growled. 'Why is Hiei masking his ki? Now it'll take me forever.' Frustrated Kurama began his search.

'Hn. This spy is very irritating.' Hiei went to the clearing. 'Might as well get so training done.' He drew his katana and threw that sheath to the ground along with his cloak and his scarf. He was about to began his training when he heard a certain fox call his name.

"Hn. What is it fox. I'm busy."

"About the file, did you find anything?" Hiei suddenly remembered the note and took it out of his pocket. "What's that?"

"We have a spy. It's a letter to their pathetic master."

Kurama scanned the letter rather quickly. "Rusaki? Never heard of him before. Wait a month... you don't think..."

"The baka onna."

"She couldn't be! I mean it's Botan!"

"All because you have feelings for her doesn't mean that we can't suspect her!"

"Why do you always bring that up?" It was rare to see Kurama get angry. Hiei smirked. "Unless..., are you jealous Hiei!" Kurama said jealous with extra emphasis.

His smirk faded. "WHAT! ARE YOU MAD!"

"Well, are you?"

"NO! No, you baka!"

"Whatever." Kurama walked away.

"Hn. I don't love the ferry onna." He told himself. He watched Kurama's disappearing figure. That was probably the first time he and Kurama fought since they came to Makai. Hiei took a deep breath and was beginning to train when he heard a femine voice.

"HIEI!" Botan came running up the hill with a bundled package in her hands. Hiei watched her come closer.

"What is it, I'm busy."

"Oh come on! You can stop for lunch can't you?" Botan held out the package.

"Made by YOU?" Hiei recalled the last time she tried to cook in Ningenkai. Just thinking about it gave him shivers.

"YES made by me, got a problem?"

"Hn."

"Anyway, dig in! It's well, kind of a thanks!"

"For what?"

"Well for listening and taking care of me." She smiled and ushered him to sit. Hiei, not in the mood to fight (for ONCE), obediently sat down as Botan unwrapped the package. They began to eat as Kurama watched through the forest. He smiled to himself, 'At least she's happy.'

(1) Ohayo mean hello.

(2) Gomen mean sorry.

I look forward to your reviews on this chapter! And expect more chapters soon!
