Hiei memory/flashback
It had been almost 2 years since Botan and Hiei had adopted the little red head. Minerva had grown and was almost as tall as Botan. The small family was inside to keep warm while a blizzard raged outside. Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara had gone to their Ningenkai homes to be with their families.
"Hey, Mom?"
"What is it, Mins?"
"Can I go swim in the pool?" (Koenma had added an indoor pool to the large house, just in case something like the freak storm outside were to happen)
"Sure, Mins. Go right ahead." (oh no, Hiei and Botan alone...)
"Thanks, Mom. Bye Mom, Dad," and with a small bow to each (hm... manners, I need some) of her parents, ran to the pool, her bathing suit under neath her kimono.
The roaring of the fire was the only noise in the living room in which Hiei and Botan sat, reading. (Hiei, reading? I don't think that is possible.) Soon harsh breathing joined the roaring fire in the room. Hiei looked up from his book on "The History of Katana's" ( not a real book, i think) to see Botan with a hand over her heart, breathing heavily.
"What is it onna?"
"Oh... sorry Hiei. I was just reading a romance novel and things kinda... heated up."
"What is that supposed to mean? Some stupid ningen emotion?"
"No, Hiei. It's when a man and a woman are... um..."
"Out with it, onna."
"It's where they um... do... become... one." By now Botan's face was bright red, embarrassement clearly written there.
"Oh... mating?"
"Y-yes." That left Hiei thinking. -If just reading about it does that, then what would the actual event do?- Both remained silent for several hours, Botan finished her book and Hiei thinking about the conversation. By the time Hiei was ready to ask Botan more questions about her book, Minerva came in hair dripping on the carpet.
"Hi mommy, hi daddy!"
"How was swimming, Minerva?" Hiei never called his daughter by her nickname, to him that meant he was giving her less respect.
"It was great, dad. Hey can Uncle Yusuke come over and train with me?" (oh, yeah they added a training room to the house, too. sorry)
"Tomorrow, Mins. It's still snowing pretty heavily." Botan glances at the clock and seeing that it was 8 o'clock added, "Why don't you go get ready for bed. Daddy and I will come up and tuck you in, kay?"
"Okay, mom." Minerva dashed up the stairs to her room.
-20 minutes later, up in Minerva's room, just Botan and Minerva-
"Mom?"
"What, huney?"
"Why don't you and dad do the lip thing that Uncle Yusuke and Aunt Keiko do?"
"Well, your dad and I aren't exactly "together". He's still your dad, and I'm still your mom. And you are still our little girl." Botan tickled Minerva under the arms, giggles answered her.
"Uncle Yusuke told me that him and Aunt Keiko are going to get married and have little kids. Why aren't you and daddy married?" Minerva looked at her mom, confusion written on her face.
"Your daddy and I aren't involved in that kinda thing, Mins. Do you want us to?"
"Yes, cause then we can be like all those families we see on the TV at Uncle Kuwabara's house."
"It will take a very long time for that kind of relationship to develop, okay?" Minerva nodded. "But I guess we could try." The door to Minerva's room opened, Hiei in the door frame.
"Hi dad! Good night dad!" Minerva snuggled in under her blankets as Hiei and Botan stood by the bed. The two older people began to tuck the younger girl in before both kissed Minerva's forehead and left the room, shutting the door. It was now 8:30 p.m.
"Hiei, we need to talk." Hiei nodded and began walking down the hall towards the stairs. They walked down the stairs, a couple of feet between them, then entered the kitchen. Hiei pulled out a cartoon of 'goo goo ice cream' (it's my favorite flavor of ice cream. chocolate, caramel, fudge, and nuts.) and two spoons.
"What is it, Botan?" (he said her name...)
"Well, Minerva wants us to get married." the clatter of a spoon hitting the floor.
Opps, I lied. There's no fluff iin this chapter, maybe it was chapter 8 that had fluff hm... oh well. The next chapter has the fluff in it.
