I know I said that I would update on weekends, but somethings came up that greatly upset me. Two of my friends died within a week of eachother, both died in car accidents. So I'm sorry bout that. Green Eyes should have the next chapter up on her story soon.

Chapter 14

me: look, Nandi, 6 reviews for chapter 13! I'm soo happy! -does happy jig-

Nandi: 6 reviews!

Green Eyes: I wish I had that many reviews for a chapter -pouts-

me: okay... people go read Green Eyes' story May it Be...except for Robin Autumn who has already read it. Well here's the next chapter... I hope it's long... I spent all week working on it.

chapter(this is a flashback of Hiei's but I have added other scenes in which neither Botan or Hiei are in)-

The morning after found Botan and Hiei still upon the bed, a sheet covering thier nude bodies.A smile graced Botan's face as her mate snuggled closer to her, his arms wrapped tighly around her waist. Claiming marks scabbing over as the ki from the other fused with the original ki in the body.

"hm..." Mumbled Botan as she appreciated the warmth spreading through her body, Hiei's ki fusing througout with her own ki. Blue hair matted and snarled upon her head, a yawn escaping her mouth as her brain began working. Stretching her back and arms, Botan woke up along with Hiei.

"Onna. Go back to bed." Hiei mumbled into Botan's back, his arms tightening around her waist.

"Hiei... It's 10am. We need to go get Minerva before they start to worry." Botan untangled herself from her mates grip, and began picking up the discarded clothes, emptying them into the hamper. Upon not seeing Hiei up, Botan turned to look at the bed where Hiei still sat.

"Onna..." Hiei mumbled, a small smile on his face as he breathed in deeply of a scent that Botan herself couldn't smell.

"What?" Botan walked over to the koorime, looking in his eyes and seeing happiness. -What could he be so happy about?-

"What is your favorite name, Botan?" Hiei still smiled softly at his mate. Botan looked confused but answered Hiei's question.

"I don't have one, I have many. Why?"

"We will have little ones coming in the next year(I'm mixing the amount of time between humans and demons. so the babies should be born by January or Febuary)" Hiei stood from the bed, wrapping his arms around her waist. (To make Botan feint or not... that is the question. I think I'll be nice.)

"Oh, my... More then one Hiei?" Botan shivered as her skin tingled from the touch of bare skin against bare skin (they haven't gotten dressed yet... opps)

"Hn, do you not trust my senses?" Hiei let go of Botan and glared up at her. Botan stepped back, and turned to her closest.

"I do trust you Hiei. I just don't think I'm going to be ready for that kinda thing... I mean Minerva is easy to be a mother to because she's older. Raising a child, or in our case children, I'm just not sure I will be able to handle it." Botan looked down, her back still turned towards Hiei. She began to pull on clothes, not really caring what it was as long as it was clothing.

at Keiko's house where Minerva stayed the night (Keiko's parents are on a business trip)

"Keiko, wake up!" Minerva shook the older sleeping girl who lay on the couch in front of the tv.

"Mm..." Keiko mumbeld into the couch. She turned towards the back of the couch and continued to sleep.

"Keiko! It's important!" Mins yelled.

"I'm up, I'm up!" Keiko sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What is it Minerva?"

"I'm going to have younger siblings. I can't wait till they are born..." Minerva continued to ramble on as Keiko processed the information, not fully comprhending.

"Mins... Mins... Stop!" Keiko put her hand over over Minerva's mouth. "What did you say?"

"I'm going to be a big sister!" Minerva said slowly and loudly as if she was talking to a deaf person.

"Really? When did this happen? How did you know?" Keiko stared at the girl in front of her trying to figure how Minerva could possibly know so soon. (Only Hiei knows what Minerva really is)

"Last night. I know because I can sense it. I wonder how many siblings I'll have?" Minerva sat down waiting for Hiei and Botan while Keiko still sat on the couch, still not fully understanding the situation.

with Kurama and Yukina at Genkai's temple-

Kurama sat with Yukina beneath a tree by Genkai's temple. They sat quietly chatting about the upcoming wedding (It's October 8th) and how it will affect the whole gang.

"I can't wait! Little ones running around our feet, giggling and playing. Oh I can't wait!" Yukina squealed with excitement at the idea. "I just wish I had my own little ones, my own mate." Yukina sighed, Kurama just sat listening.

"But don't you produce asexually?"

"Well I'm supposed to, but I'm over hundred years old, so I should have to smaller versions of me. But, as you can see, I don't"

"So maybe you don't produce aasexually like all the other Koorime do. Do you plan on marrying Kuwabara?" Kurama looked away. -What have I got myself into. First it's Botan, now Yukina... Most be mating season-

"No... I don't want to. He's just not serious enough... I want something more. You know like all those girls in the books. I want to fall in love." Yukina stared off into space, her eyes cloudy and distant.

with Botan and Hiei-

Botan now dressed in a clean kimono, stood before a mirror looking at herself. Her kimono instead of the usual pink, was a dark blue in color and her inner kimono was a light blue.

"Two contrasting shades of the same color." Hiei said from where he sat on the bed, dressed in his usual baggy black pants and shirt.

"Hai, Koi. Just like us." Botan turned to face Hiei, her hair down and covering her face from his view. A gentle hands moved cerulean hair away from her face, to reveal magenta eyes red and puffy. Fat tears rolled down her cheeks. The same gentle hands wiped the tears away, then slipped around her waist.

"Botan, you will be a great mother. Just look how happy Minerva is." Botan burried her head on Hiei's shoulder.

"Okay, Hiei. I believe you. Lets go get Minerva." Botan and Hiei left, hand in hand.

end of flashback-

Hiei watched as Botan stood and reported what Minerva's position was.

"Yes, the army is ready.The army consists of 120,000 demons on foot, and several thousand human spirits who were somehow connected to Minerva." Botan stood there, that ever questioning look upon her face. "Why are they connected to Minerva? Hiei get your butt over here, causeI know you're behind me." Hiei came and stood by Botan.

"Minerva. Where have you heard that name before?" Hiei looked over at Botan, trying to hint at what Minerva really was since the little goddess hadn't informed her mother.

"Minerva... Hmm..." Botan put a finger on her lip looking up, trying to fingure out what Hiei was getting at. "The Roman goddess of war and wisdom... is associated with owls! That's why she had to get that owl. Oh now I get it." She turned and glared at Hiei, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"She didn't think it was exactly important at the time."
