DON'T OWN YYH! JUST MINERVA AND THE PLOT!
Chapter 9-
me: look 23 reviews! I'm soo happy! a big chocolate ice cream cake goes to smiles4100 for being the 20th reviewer and the best beta reader a writer could ask for!
Ethan: And ice cream sundaes go to sadandlonely, Hiei's Ice Maiden, and dark angel-justice for reviewing! (green eyes is sick with a nasty cold, so I will be commenting for her)
me: well here's the next chapter, read and corrected by Nandi! (claps)
chapter start-
"Yes, cause then I can protect them."
"From what?"
"The prophecy made when I was born to my real parents." Hiei was confused by this. A prophecy made by ningens? Only a few ningens like Kuwabara could possible say a prophecy. Who were Minerva's parents?
"Who were your parents?"
"My father was Jupiter, the king of the gods, my mother was the ax that split me from his head." (I'm sort of mixing Athena, a greek goddess, and her birth into the story cause I can't remember how Minerva was born. -shrugs-)
"I never thought that they were real... But if you are really what you say you are, then you are older then me."
"Actually, I'm reborn evey 1000 years or so. And I'm only 9 so far in this life."
"Why were you abandoned here in Japan?"
"I don't know, daddy. I'm just glad to be here with you and mommy and the uncles."(she doesn't spend a lot of time with Koenma)
"Hn, well you need to go to bed. Your mother wouldn't appreciate you staying up so late. Good night, Minerva."
"Good night, daddy." Hiei walked out of the room closing the door, and entered his bedroom down the hall. He promptly fell asleep on his bed.
next day-
Botan woke up, took her shower, and called Kurama and Yukina asking them to come over. She also made breakfast for Minerva, Hiei, and herself. And when 11 o'clock rolled around, was she happy to her the door open and her name called.
"Botan! We're here." Botan walked out into the living room and greeted Kurama and Yukina. Minerva and Hiei were outside, Minerva learning sword techniques from her dad.
"So, Botan-chan why have you called us to come over? You didn't explain much on the phone." Botan bounced in her chair as she told her two closest friends about last night.
"And so Hiei and I are going to get married and marked for Mins sake. She really wants us to be a family, and to have younger siblings."
"When should we set the wedding? What color are athe bridemaids dresses?Can I make your dress?" questions flowed from Yukina's mouth as she caught Botan's excitement. Botan sat answering the questions as they came, Kurama just sat and listened to the two girls.
"Probably in November, yes you can make my dress."
"How big will the wedding be?"
"Just the gang, Genkai, Koenma, and shiziru if she wants to come."
"What about the best man?"
"I believe Hiei already has someone in mind." Botan moved her head in Kurama's direction.
"Oh... who will be your bridesmaids?"
"You, of course, and Keiko." And on and on. Soon the date was set for November 1st, the bridesmaids would wear white kimonos, Botan would be wearing the traditional red kimono made by Yukina, and the best man and Hiei would wear black tuxes.
"Well, Kurama, what do you think?"
"I think the plans are set and pretty good. I'll grow the roses for the wedding in my garden, what color would you like?"
"Botan-chan, you should get white roses!"
"Yes, white roses. What do you think, Hiei? I know you're here and so is Mins." Hiei stepped into the kitchen, Minerva behind him.
"Mommy, are you planning the wedding?"
"Yes, Mins. I think you'll be our flower girl. Would you like that?"
"I would love to, Mommy!" Minerva hugged Botan, getting sweat all over her.
"Mins, why don't you go take a shower and get changed. It's only 2 o'clock so I think we should all go out and eat at Keiko's resaurant!" agreements met Botan's ears as she got up and began to herd Minerva upstairs.
"Okay. I'll be down with Mins in 20 minutes! Hiei can you please come up?" The fire/koorime demon made his way up following his soon to be wife and mate as Kurama and Yukina gathered their stuff.
upstairs with Botan and Hiei-
Botan gently pushed Minerva into her room and shut the door before entering her room, Hiei behinds her.
"Do you like the plans, Hiei?" Botan walked over to her closet and began pulling out an outfit.
"Hn, there okay." Hiei sat down on the bed and watched Botan pull out various jeans and shirts, trying to find a good match.
"November 1st is only 3 weeks and 4 days away (it's October 7th), so I guess we need to go shopping around. What color would you like the walls in our room?" The question just popped out of her mouth as she finally settled on a pair of faded lo-rise jeans and a bright blue paris shirt.
"Hn, I don't care as long as its not pink or purple... How bout green? (that's my fav. color)" Hiei watched as Botan changed out of her light blue kimono, and now stood in her underwear. Realizing what he was doing, Hiei averted his eyes from the sight.
"Green sounds good." Botan was saying as she pulled on the pants, zipping and buttoning them before turning around to face Hiei.
"But what shade of green Hiei?" Hiei looked up, then quickly looked down agian seeing that she didn't have her shirt on.
"Forest green." Hiei was surprised when he felt a gentle hand pull his chin up. Botan still had no shirt on, and Hiei closed his eyes.
"Forest green would be too dark for the room. How bout Kelly green? It's not to light or too dark.
"Hn, okay."
"Hiei look at me," Hiei looked at her due to the serios tone in her voice, Botan's gentle had still on his chin.
"Hn, get some clothes on, onna." Botan turned a slight pink but still held Hiei's chin in her left hand.
"This is what your going to be marrying. Get used to it." Botan let her hand drop and put on her shirt in front of Hiei. The shirt caught on her bra, and before Botan was able to pull it down, Hiei himself pulled it down. His warm hand rested on Botan's waist unsure of whether he should have done that or not.
"Thank you, Hiei. See it's not that bad is it, koi?" Botan blushed majorly as she tried the word koi out on Hiei. Hiei also blushed, but only a light pink.
"No, it's not." Before Botan could say anything else, Hiei had already left the soon to be marriage room. Botan smiled and walked out to talk to Minerva and see if she was ready yet.
down stairts-
Kurama and Yukina still sat on the couch, their coats in their laps as they waited for the soon to be mates.(Remember it was a blizzard yesterday and last night?) Yukina smiled as she pictured the wedding in her mind.
"Hm... outside or inside?" Yukina spoke her thoughts out loud.
"Huh?" Kurama turned to face the shorter Koorime demon as his side.
"Sorry, Kura-chan. I was just thinking about the wedding. Should we have it outside in the snow or in Koenma's ball room?"
"Either way would look lovely, but I think the wedding guests would be cold if it was held out there in the snow."
"Hmm... yes, so the ball room it is. It should probably take place in the smaller one, if it's just the usual gang and the girls along with Master Genkai."
"Yes, your reasoning is sound, and I'm sure Koenma will permit us to use it." The rustling of fabric and the thumps of feet hitting wooden stairs told Kurama and Yukiina to look up at the stairs. Minerva, Botan, and Hiei came down the stairs in that order, ther trio dressed in ningen clothing to blend in.
me: wow that was probably the longest chapter I've ever typed! My fingers are tired. Good night. (Rose promptly falls asleep at the keyboard as Ethan pokes her trying to get her up.)
Ethan: -shrugs- she watched the Lord of the Rings extended edition all yesterday and last night. It's like 14 hours long. she didn't go to school either. so... I guess this leaves me and Nandi to sign off then...
Nandi: Please review! I promise the 50th reviewer candy, so keep reviewing for a while. (Or just go back and pointlessly review past chapters, although that is frowned upon. Oh well.)
Both: BYE! -waves-
