Ethan: Are you gonna tell them what you controled in the play last night?

Green Eyes: Oh.. she messed up, too!

Green Eyes: Oh... the prize should be bigger!

me: hm... what should it be? how bout a whole chapter dedicated to the right answer?

Ethan: Why don't you just write a fic starring them?

Green Eyes: Yeah that'll work!

me: okay, the right answer wins a fic starring them! now onto the feature program!

Start-

Botan continued to walk in the nearly empty palace, on her way to Koenma-sama's office. She could hear Yusuke and Kuwabara arguing somewhere in the large building.

"Wonder where Hiei and Kurama is? Shouldn't they be witht he others?"

"Your finally back, onna. What took you so long?" Botan turned around and faced Hiei. A shadow in his face portarayed his worry for Minerva's mother.

"I fell off on my way back. Why did you worry that I wouldn't come back?" She opened her arms and gave the slightly shorter demon a hug. "Minerva has her troops ready for the battle. She said to tell you 'hi'. I'm soo worried about her Hiei. Do you think she'll pull it off? Her a mere human against all those demons?"

"She'll be fine, onna. We raised her didn't we?" Hiei pulled back so that he was an arms length away from the battered deity.-I wonder what happened to her.-

"Yes, I remember her growing up with dadddy and uncles." She sighed as she remembered one particular moment in which the gang had been training Minerva in strategy.

Flash back-

Minerva was dressed in simple black sweats, her now long hair pulled back in a ponytail the danced as she was going through the routine. By this time, Minerva was 12 and was quite the blood and gore fan.

"Remember, Mins (Minerva's nickname at the time), keep your head up. Never lower your head and lose sight of your team members, or you will lose the battle."

"Yes, Uncle Kurama."

Botan watched from the air, as Minerva and the gang fought eachother in a 3 on 2 battle. Minerva and Kurama were together against Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara.

"Try to hit me, Kuwabara! I'm not some weak defenseless little girl anymore.!"

"I can't, your a girl and I have my honor code." Minerva hit Kuwabar on the head, forcing him inot the dream world.

"Shove it up your butt!" Minerva yelled at the fallen orange haired man.

end of flash back-

Botan stood in front of Hiei, a white haze over her eyes. Hiei tapped his foot impatiently waiting for her to come out of the daze.

end of chapter-

me: well good so far. let me see... hmm... looks like the winner for Botan's mate is...

Ethan: you are so mean.

Green Eyes: hm... wonder who?

me: yeah this would be longer but I'm at school.(shifty eyes) they are watching me.

Ethan: hmm... still wonder who. Please review! oh and the next chapter will be pre-read by a Beta reader named smiles4100! (claps)
