I do not own YYH! blah

Chapter 15

me: I know I said I would update on weekends and
weekly, but my internet is kinda not being
cooperative. It happens when you live in the middle
of nowhere.

Green Eyes: -scowls- at least you have a story to
update...

me: Her story got warned due to the lyrics in it...
they made her delete it or have her account removed
permanently... soo she's upset majorly. But here
is the next chapter.

Chapter 15

(fyi: it's going to stay in the past now... no more
flashback scenes. and it will show some scenes
without Botan, Hiei, or Minerva)

Genkai's temple, common room-

It was two days till the wedding, and all the
participants and guests were eagerly awaiting the day.
Most of the guests were already at Koenma's palace,
their rooms alloted them by Koenma there.

Yukina sat with Botan whose nerves were frazzeled by
the whole situation.

"Oh... Yukina, I don't know... everythings in place,
but it just doesn't feel right." Botan wrung her
hands as she sat on a cushion in front of a low table.
Hot tea steamed from a kettle and from two cups that
sat near it.

"It will be fine, Botan-chan. The babies are probably
upsetting you," Yukina rested her small hand on
Botan's small swelling stomach. "Do you know how many
yet?"

"No, I hope it's not more then two or three though...
I don't know how I could raise them." Botan sighed
before she sipped some tea. "Hiei is excited if you
can't tell by how he has been limiting the places I'm
allowed to go."

"He just wants to make sure you and the babies are
safe. I wish I had a mate and expecting little ones."
Yukina once again went off into a dream state where
she stared off into space, her eyes coulding. (Beh?)

"I heard that Kuwabara might be looking at rings,"
Botan said softly trying to get the girl to bite. She
had noticed the books Yukina had been reading, and
thought that the small tidbit of information would
help the girl with her wishes.

"Oh..." Yukina shied away, uncomfortable with the
information. "I don't think he is really serious about
us, I mean he's kinda sweet and all but not really
serious. All the time I catch him looking at other
girls, girls taller then me. Girls that are more
vuluptorous then me. He's not serous." Yukina shook
her head.

"Well I'm sure that there is someone out there for
you. It took adopting Minerva for me to finally get a
mate, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I love
Minerva, and I love Hiei." Botan uncouscously
(subcouscously?) rubbed her stomach. "What about
Kurama?" Botan had seen the fox take glances at the
koorime, how he sometimes reached out to touch a lock
of her hair but would draw back like he was about to
touch a snake.

"I don't know. Kurama is nice, sweet, caring, and is
easy to talk to. He's almost like a guy version of
you, just kinda more down to earth." Yukina smiled at
her best friend, the dreamy look returning to her
eyes. "Your roses are about to blossom," Yukina said
quickly changing the subject from love interest back
to the wedding.

"Really? I can't wait to see them." Botan silently
acknowledged her friends discomfort about Kurama talk.

Keiko and Minerva who were getting last minute
alterations on their dresses-

Minerva stood before the mirror, her reflection
showing her in the white kimono with silver and blue
flowers embroidered on it, small white fabric roses in
her hair. She giggled.

"Oh Keiko! I can't wait. Only two more days!"
Minerva twirrled around,sending the soft red curls
around her shoulders flying. "How many younger
brothers and sisters do you think I'll have?" She
paused her twirrling to look at Keiko.

"I don't know. I'm sure you'll have a couple of each
in a couple of years." Keiko stood behind Minerva in
her own white kimono, her brown hair curled slightly
and with small fabric white roses in her hair. "One
day you'll wish you didn't have any siblings." Keiko
laughed when Minerva scruched up her face, ready to
yell. "But you'll still love them."

"Do you think I'll be a good big sister?" Her eyes got
all round and fearful. Keiko hugged the girl who was
getting close to her height.

"You'll be a great big sister! Now lets get out of
these dresses and go get some ice cream" Minerva
quickly agreed.
