Answers to my wonderful reviewers!

Ryukotsusei: I know, it IS funny, but don't worry, you won't be almost feeling sorry for Botan for long. Start feeling sorry for Hiei and Ei, and the other boys. It's gonna be so hilarious!

Darkgarent: You won't kill me? Thank you, really. And no, I hadn't forgotten about you…well, may be just a little, jk. But I'll remember from now on, since you'll be reminding me anyway.

Miss Kyoshi: Yay! I'm glad you think it's funny, since I try to make it as funny as possible, that's why it took a while to get this chapter out, since the first time I wrote it, it kinda sucked… But now it's out, so yay, I'm happy!

Tsuki Fox: You have a point there… And yes, I know it's strange, but that's the way I am, I guess…it's a curse, or a gift, I can't really decide yet, but yeah…on to the story!

Warriors; The Paths To Perfection

Chapter Five

Bored.

That word described my mood perfectly, just perfectly. …Wait, didn't we already go through this, like four chapters ago, yeah…we did. Well scratch that then…

I sighed.

I was angry and bored, so I have a reason to sigh! See, Hiei and his supposed brother Ei's playful fight turned into a real fight and now they'd forgotten all about me. So, here I was, sitting here, in a stupid blood filled forest, practically suffocating because of all the blood, and what were they doing? Acting like total idiots! Stupid, idiotic, freaking boys. I swear, they are all so simple-minded.

I sighed again…and looked up at the black streaks that were Hiei and Ei, well more like glared at them. "Idiots…I swear." And with that said, I rolled my eyes, and began to think of a way to get them to stop.

…Thinking…

…Thinking…

…Still thinking…

…I got it! I am so good!

I stood up and grinned, holding my arms out, palms facing up, where the two would mostly collide. Then a small wind with glints of gold began swirling in the palm of my hand, but just then I stopped. I was having second-doubts, dang it!

Should I, they'd be really mad if I did, they might actually think about killing me! I mean, this carefree sorta Hiei might actually be a façade and they could be plotting to kil- God, I'm being paranoid aren't I, yeah, I am.

Oh, well, this is what they get for ignoring me!

"Winds of Heaven!"

The golden-tinted wind blew out of my hand, sliding me back a bit from the force. And would you believe it, Ei and Hiei came in to strike each other at that exact moment, so the wind hit them full force, and they didn't even see it coming since it was almost invisible.

(insert evil laugh from me, Botan)

"What the!" They shouted as it hit them, sending them flying a bit

And it didn't end there, either, once the wind hit them, it split them apart and wrapped around them, turning into silverish thread, which hung them upside down.

I grinned.

Oh, yeah, I was good.

I guess it wasn't as boring here as it was in Spirit World. Hah! Take that Koenma!

"Botan!"

Hmm…what was that…oh, right. "Hey guys!" I yelled waving up at them, grinning.

"Botan! What did you do!" They both shouted as they began squirming.

Squirming…Heh. I love that word. But getting off topic…

"I just bound you with the Winds of Heaven is all." I replied sweetly as I walked closer to them, hands clasped behind my back.

Hiei muttered something, but I paid him no mind, Ei was more amusing anyway. He was still struggling.

"And why did you do that!" He yelled glaring at me.

"Um…let me think… Because you two were acting like complete and total idiots!" I shouted.

"And that's it! So you decided to wrap us in…this wind-thread stuff, up-side down, for that matter, just because we were acting like idiots! What's wrong with you, woman!" He shouted back.

"At the moment, you! I mean I'm almost a guest in this place, and you're not s'possed ignore a guest!"

"A guest! You, a guest! Che, yeah right!"

"Excuse me! You guys are the ones that wanted me to stay!"

"Hey! If it was up to me, you'd be sent back the moment you flew into this forest on your little oar! But, Mr. Pyromaniac around here, wanted you to freaking stay! So don't go shou- opps…" Ei muttered sending a guilty look at Hiei, whom at the moment, was furious.

"What?" I muttered

"Ei…" He muttered out coldly, glaring a glare that could beat…could beat…you know, I don't think anyone has a better glare then his…whoa…

"Yes, Hiei?" Ei asked, trying to move away from Hiei as much as he could when hanging upside down from my Wind Threads.

But I wasn't really paying that much attention. "Hiei…wanted me to stay…"

I'd think that was cute, except it seemed a bit weird. Hiei wanting the annoyingly cheery ferry-girl to stay, in his company! He must be a clone! …But he wasn't…right?

"You are so gonna die!" And then he started squirming, trying to break free. "…After I get out of here…"

"Huh…oh, right…" I muttered and waved my hand, dispersing the Wind Threads, and right then I realized my mistake. "Opps…"

But instead of land on their heads like I thought they would, they flipped just in time and landed in a crouch.

Okay…not opps.

"Thanks." Hiei muttered not even glancing at him, but glaring at Ei. "Now…Ei, get ready to di-"

"WAIT!" I shouted and everything, I'm sure, in a five mile radius of us stopped. Yup, my voice is that loud, well, I wish… "Good, now that you've stopped, I have one question and one question only."

I glanced at both of them before continuing and saw Ei staring at me patiently and Hiei biting his lip. Aww…he looked so cute…but, going off topic again.

"And that is… Do you guys know which way is North?" I asked.

THUMP. THUMP.

I grinned, closing my eyes.

And then I heard growling…, so I hesitantly pried open one eye to see both of them getting up, growling…like little puppies! Well, no, not really, but it was funny to think of it that way.

"God, I was just kidding, so save your anger for some nasty demon or something. Anyway, did you know I was here from the moment I entered?" I asked blinking.

Hiei and Ei glanced at each other.

"Uh…may be…" Ei said biting his lip.

"Oh…so this whole thing, tricking me to think that you were Hiei's father, and all that was planed." I asked.

Oh…they were gonna die…

"Um…well, yeah. We had sensed that you were strong a long time ago and we thought it was a great time to test your skill." Hiei explained still looking a bit nervous.

I stared at them blankly for a few minutes before I materialized my oar and slammed them both over the head with it, twisting it under my legs so that I now sat on it. "Now, that that's done… I'll be on my way." I said in a emotionless, but with a sorta cheery line to it, tone and began to fly away.

"Aren't ya gonna stay?" A soft, child-like voice asked from below, and I froze. "You want to, so why don't you?"

…uh…well that was unexpected. Who the freak said that?

I turned around and was greeted with a small girl, maybe only five years old, with light blue mid-back hair and golden eyes. It took me a moment to realize where I recognized her from, but then it hit me. She looked exactly like Faye did when she was small, but…how could that be?

"Sage! What the heck, I told you to stay with Suki!" Hiei said.

So her name's Sage…

"Sorry, Hiei-sama." Sage muttered pulling on her hair. "But Miss Suki said she was busy, so I didn't know what else to do."

I flew down, landing softly on my toes, keeping an eye on that girl. With a flick of my wrist my oar was gone and was still staring at that girl.

Could this be Faye's girl? But, she'd tell me if she was getting married, right, or even if she had a baby…but… No, I don't feel any of our power in her, so who is she? …She couldn't of died and got reincarnated, could she! Naw…they'd would tell me…then what?

"So, Miss, are you going to stay?" The little girl, Sage asked, tugging on her pink kimono, the same sort of kimono Faye used to wear.

"…Yeah, I guess I will stay…"

If only to find out more about you Sage...
