Survival Class 101

(--Blahs--) = my annoying insertion in the story. Can't help it when I feel talkative.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Chapter 5 – The "torture" goes on...
"Get a hint?! Hn, maybe you should do that. Baka, did it ever come across your mind that perhaps I was ignoring you on purpose?! You are lucky that I don't usually hit females, but then again, I've never considered you one but a lousy blabbermouth!"
"Hey! I resent that. Hmph, if it weren't for me taking care of your boo-boos after that last mission, you'd still be limping around for days, you ungrateful jerk!" The blue-haired grim reaper huffed as she placed one hand on her hip and the other poking into Hiei's chest.
"Oh, thank you so much for nursing me and my fragile body back to health." Hiei said sarcastically, slapping Botan's hand away. "Hn! If it weren't for you, I'd be already saved from a whole lot of troubles by now. Besides, nobody's asked for your help last time. I could have recuperated myself."
"Whatever you say. I didn't drag you here to argue, you know." Botan crossed her arms and decided not to continue the quarrel with the stubborn demon.
"Then stop wasting my time."
'Look who's wasting whose time...' Botan rolled her eyes. "Well, I just wanted to know if you're the one who's been doing those um... things to Kuwabara?"
"What things?" Hiei asked, barely focused on the ferry girl's words.
"C'mon, you know what I'm talking about here."
"What are you talking about here?"
"About what happened to the sundae cup and his food!"
"Hn, maybe it is like the fool said. This place is cursed with evil spirits."
"Don't give me that. We both know that it's not true."
"Does it matter if it was me or not?"
"Of course it does! If it was you, you need to stop it this instant!"
"Hn."
"Well...?"
"Well what?"
"Was it you?"
"Hn." (I'm sure that conversation took a lot of space. -.-)
"Arrgh!" Botan was definitely getting tired of Hiei's meaningless answers. On the other hand, Hiei was also too fed up with her interrogation. Both just gawked at each other, thinking to themselves how to make the other suffer in the most insightful way.
"Botan," Then came the sweet voice that belonged to no other than the pretty ice apparition – Yukina.
"Yes? What is it, my dear?" Hearing her name being called by her friend, Botan's fiery mood had a total 180-degree turn. She swirled her back to Hiei as she gave Yukina a hearty smile.
"Um, Kazuma and I are leaving."
"Really... where are you going now?"
"I'm not sure. Kazuma said there is this 'onsen' place that we can go next." Said the aqua-haired girl, sounded uncertain to her own sentence. (For any of you who have no idea what an "onsen" is, it means hot spring... I think.)
"A spa?! Oh, I'd love to go there too!" With that, Botan made a grab for Yukina's hand and dashed toward the exit, leaving a confounded Hiei behind. He knows he shouldn't leave Yukina alone with Kuwabara on such occasion and followed them. The brother was set to keep his sister out of the incompetent oaf's hands...
As they rode on the bus, Botan and Yukina were chitchatting happily. And for Hiei, it took Botan forever to "induce" him to take the Ningen transportation; he didn't even comply. But having Yukina to convince him... the record said five seconds before he gives the nod. The fire demon was death glaring some passengers to scare them off for trying to take the seat next to him, which worked well. There's a whole bunch of people standing on the bus eyeing the empty seat wistfully. (Poor passengers...)
While on the other hand, Kuwabara had a sour look remained on his face. He was more than displeased to hear that Botan was going to tag along with him and Yukina on their date, even Hiei! He was planning to ditch the two right back at the diner, but it was left a failure since Yukina told them about their departure. It wasn't really Botan he was angry at; it was his 'archenemy', Hiei. He was sure the short demon was up to no good since Hiei has always been the anti-social one. Why would he now get involved with any sort of human activity out of his own will? Whatever the case it might be, Kuwabara was set to keep his girlfriend out of the hazardous, evil Shorty's grasp... (Hm, sounds familiar somewhere?)
Upon the arrival at a reserved district, the gang entered through a finely decorated gate. Inside was a little garden filled with various potted flower. Strolling through the pebbly path, they came across another lobby room.
"That'll be 13,680 yen for four." Said a woman to Kuwabara at the counter.
"Nani?!" the carrot top was a little stunned to hear the price. He dug inside his wallet while frowning.
"Oh thank you, Kuwabara! I will pay you back my share as soon as possible." Botan was all beaming brightly with hands clapped together.
Kuwabara only smiled weakly and handed the cashier his entire life savings. The woman at the register was having much difficulty of accepting it since Kuwabara won't let loose his tight hold on the cash. After a while of struggling, he was reluctant to let go.
"Hm? Where is Hiei?" Botan was the first one to notice after the cashier sent them into the further portion of the resort.
"Wasn't he just here a minute ago?"
"Grr! Stupid shorty! If he wasn't even going to stay, then he should have just said so! I wasted all my fortunes on him!" Kuwabara may have seemed angry, but he certainly wished that Hiei wasn't there to ruin everything.
"Calm down, Kuwabara. He's probably just wandered off. Yukina and I are going to enjoy the hot spring over there now. We'll meet up later." Said Botan carelessly as she walked down the hall with Yukina.
"Hey! Wait!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
'Aah, this is what I called life... no missions, no death threatening problems, no Hiei...' thought Botan, wrapped in a towel, as she relaxed herself in the hot spring.
"Yukina? Why don't you come in? The water is fine." Opening one eye, Botan looked up from her position.
The aqua-haired girl blushed a little, holding closer to her towel and replied, "Iie, the water is too warm."
Botan barely contained a chuckle, "Of course it's warm, silly. But I guess you can't adapt to the temperature since your element is ice... Well, you can try that one. I think it's cold water." Said the ferry girl, pointing to a nearby pool.
Yukina approached to the pool left of her friend hesitantly. Botan watched as the girl carefully dipped her fingers into the transparent fluid; then a small smile was lit up on her dubious feature. With a miniature splash, her body sank lower into the spring. "You're right, Botan. This water is refreshing."
The ferry girl also smiled back and leaned against the side of the pool with both her eyes shut again as she continued to wander in her la-la land until...
"Aaah!"
A scream was suddenly heard from her left. Botan stopped her daydreaming and popped her head up to see what was going on. "What's the matter, Yukina?"
"I think I saw something moving in that bush." Said Yukina, slightly frightened.
"Really..." Botan climbed out of the hot spring and drew near the rustling plants. She picked up all her courage and pushed aside the leaves, "Aha!"
A yellow spotted cat jumped over Botan's arm and bolted away in lightning speed. The ferry girl give an eased sigh, "It's just a cat, Yukina. Nothing to worry abou-"
CRASH!
"Do not fear, my ice princess! I, Kazuma Kuwabara, shall save you from any danger with my irresistible manly power!!" Both girls were startled as the wooden wall next to them came collapsing down on the ground. A half- nude Kuwabara stumbled in secondly from the dust, coughing.
"Yukina!" When Botan and Yukina didn't even have the time to register what the was happening at the moment, another black blur also appeared in a flash on the opposite of Kuwabara.
There they stood, an apparently concerned Hiei and a scarcely clothed Kuwabara.
"Shorty! What are you doing here!! Wait... Were you trying to take advantages on Yukina?! How dare you!!" Kuwabara was already charging at Hiei like a mad bull.
Hiei dodged the un-expecting assault by merely an inch, "What?! I'm guilty of no such thing! You repulsive human!"
"Bite my ankle, dirt bag! You disgust me! I'm gonna beat the daylights out of you!!"
"How DARE you to think that I would take advantages over Yukina!!"
"That's it boys! No more fighting!" Botan forced herself in front of Hiei and Kuwabara. She extended both hands up in midair to prevent them from launch another blow at each other. "There shouldn't be more violence. I expected the better of you two! Out of all people, you..."
The ferry girl paused when she found the two boys weren't listening but somewhat dazed. "Is there something on my face?"
"Um, Botan, your towel..." Kuwabara managed to blurt out as Botan looked down to herself and realized what was wrong: the towel around her was slowly loosening off from her body, exposing the upper part of her breast. But the worst part was yet to come... Hiei, being the one born with inconvenient height problems, his eye level was basically paralleled to Botan's chest area...
"Eep!" With a gasp out of embarrassment, Botan quickly grabbed her towel before it could completely slip off. Kuwabara laughed uneasily while Hiei gave an "hn" and turned away, a tint of pink across his cheek. The ferry girl's face was now steamed red like a hot pepper. It was only a matter of few seconds before she exploded...
"PERVERTS!!"
SLAP!
SLAP!
THUD! (And they hit the deck!)

A/N:
There goes another chapter. It's a little bit longer. I was listening to music when I typed the chappie. So exactly how it turned out, I'm not sure. Was it good? Bad? I do get distracted a lot sometimes. Well, nothing else to say... maybe I should answer some of the reviews from the last chapter just to be thankful for the supports.
Robin Autumn: You're the first one to review! Thank you! And yep! You're right! We LOVE the pairing Hiei/Botan!
HieilovesBotan: Hiei is evil? Hohoho, trust me, he won't be THAT mean to Botan later on. You'll see! (winks)
sunshine14586: Hehehe... you want it upgraded? That can only be arranged by the amount of your reviews! For now, I only have one thing to say to you is "Patience is a virtue." :D
taste of fire: I'm glad that you liked it. Here is more that's coming on your way!
tuathafaerie: I liked the shin kicking part too. It does hurt a lot. Now I updated my fic, don't forget about yours!
BlazingBotan: Aww, thanks for the compliment!
Tesina Gela Gardner: It did? I hope this one will make you laugh too.
LivingImpared: How soon is this? Haha, I'm happy that you thought it was good.
Mr. Bunny-chan-san: A big slab of meant, huh? I'll have you know that I'm NOT a vegetarian. Heh heh, your review is encouraging and yet at the same time very funny! I laughed!
