Summery: A series of unfortunate, or fortunate on your view, events, caused by Botan smelling of fruitcake, leading up to a Hiei/Botan romance
Last Time: Old friends Rose and Ashley came to pay the group a visit. Rose gave Botan a spell to try and it ended up giving Hiei cat ears and a cat tail. Wonder how long he'll be that way.
This time: Chapter 7 A Breakthrough
Hiei's P.O.V.
I woke up because I smelt something burning. Opening my eyes I saw we were in the kitchen, and that the onna must have dragged me here. Then I heard her cussing, it was funny to see the happy-go-lucky onna cuss out a stove.
"Oww, my damn hand. This shitty ass stove, god damn it!" The onna said, before she turned off the stove and took out a box out of the freezer. I started to chuckle at her, causing her to look at me and see I was glaring at her. But it was all useless with these damn ears.
"Hey, onna, how did you get me in here?" I asked her. She looked at me and blinked slowly, then she blushed, and finally she said something.
"Well, I woke up at the crack of dawn, and I had to go to the bathroom, so I woke you up and dragged you with me to wait outside the door. But when I came back out you were only half asleep, so I lead you to the kitchen and… uh… cooked. Yeah, that's right, cooked." She gave me a nervous giggle, and before I could question her, she started talking again.
"Fine, I know what your thinking, and I know that you didn't buy that lie. I couldn't help it and I kissed you. But hear me out, you just looked so adorable with your cat ears and all." She saw the look of death on my face and squeaked.
"Look, I have an offer to make. We… uh… need to get to know each other better, especially if we're going to be stuck like this for a while." She said, I just said 'hn' and agreed and she walked into the living, me behind her.
Botan's P.O.V.
"So, what was your childhood like?" As soon as I said it, I knew I hit a landmine. I cringed when his face got cold and hard, and I just seemed to wither under his glare. But to my surprise he didn't kill me, he just took a breathe and started.
Reader's P.O.V.
"I was born in the Floating Kingdom of Koormie where legendary ice maidens live . As a fire demon, I was banished from their land when I was still a young infant because of the misfortune that I may bring upon to their homeland according to the Koormie elders. Hina, my mother, begged the elders to spare my life, but the elders did not listen. Ruri , a friend of Hina, was ordered to cast me from a high ground and to let me die in the cursed Makai grounds. My small and helpless body was covered in straps with writings on it to seal my powers. Ruri tucked a gem from my mother's tear inside the my straps and whispered to me that he should survive and become strong, and she will be waiting for my revenge. After this, she dropped me into the dangerous land of Makai. Ruri's words was marked on my mind. I, obviously, survived the fall and was adopted by a group of thieves.
I kept the gem which reminded me of Ruri and gave me a reason to go on. As years went on, I learned to fight and defend himself from the evil demons that lurk. I was fond of hearing cries for help from his opponents. I also became a hired assassin at that time. The thieves who raised me couldn't take my attitude anymore and cast me from their group. I wandered in Makai all alone and killed whoever got in my way. Unfortunately, as I was fighting with a demon, I lost my gem. It fell from a cliff and it was washed away by a river found beneath . It was impossible for me to find the gem."
"Wow." Was All Botan could say before Hiei finished his story. After she urged him to go on, Hiei said the last part of his long epic.
"My search for Yukina made me reach Nigenkai. That was the place where I met Kurama. I attacked him because I thought he was an enemy, but I found out that it was just a misunderstanding. I got wounded from our fight and so Kurama brought me to his room and treated my wound. After that, we both defeated the youkai whom I was looking for. Kurama tagged along because that particular youkai happen to kidnap his friend, Maya. Since our fighting skills blend well, we became friends.
When I got involved in the Rekai robbery, I met Yusuke and you all, and that's what happened." Hiei said, as if it was no big deal. Try telling that to Botan who cried a river and latched onto Hiei's stomach, hugging him.
"What the hell are you crying about?" Hiei yelled at Botan, who was sobbing into his shirt. It pissed him off, that aggravating sound and the salty smell of tears.
"Because, your to stubborn to do it yourself, so I'm crying for you, tears you'd never shed, at least not again!" Botan yelled at him, and it caught Hiei off guard that someone actually cared about him. So in a moment of kindness, he patted her back and tried to comfort her.
"There there, it will be alright, don't cry anymore, Botan." Hiei said, as Botan stopped and looked up at him with puffy red eyes. Then she smiled and hugged him tighter, which caused a slight blush to make it's way to his face.
"Hiei, are you blushing?" She asked, as Hiei's cat ears flicked and Hiei's blush intensified by being caught. Botan squeaked out, "You are!" Then she sat up and rubbed his ears again.
"I can't stand it, I have to touch you, I have to rub those furry, black cat ears!" But as soon as she touched them her fingers glowed blue and Hiei's cat eyes dissolved and planted themselves on top of Botan's head.
"Uh…, what?" Botan felt her black cat ears flick and Hiei, move to rub them. "What are you doing?" She yelled at him, and Hiei got an evil smirk on his face.
"Why, I just have to know what makes rubbing cat ears so much fun. Hey, wait a minute, you didn't get a tail, but mine is gone, where did it go?" Hiei asked, rubbing Botan's ears, while she laid her head on his chest and purred softly.
"I think I sent it onto a different cat, so now there's a two tail cat. Oh no, I put it on Kuwabara's cat, which is staying with Yukina while Kuwabara is on vacation. It should be fine, I hope so. And stop rubbing them, you know what, I have something for you." Botan touched her cat ears and again they dissolved, but this time into nothing.
Then Botan reached into the couch cushion and pulled out a rosary necklace, then placing it on Hiei's neck, she started chanting.
"What the hell is this thing?" Hiei started pulling on the necklace, only to see it wouldn't move, then he saw Botan with an evil smirk on her face.
"Now, I'm sure you are familiar with Inuyasha the anime. Well, I got the box set that came with imitation Inuyasha Beads Of Subjugation (1). Plus with my miko powers, it has become real, so you know what's going to happen?" Hiei just nodded no.
"Sit boy!" CRASH Hiei smashed threw the floor, yelling out cusses and screaming in pain. "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!" Botan yelled, as Hiei made a nice sized crater in the hole. She smirked at her handy work and sat on the couch.
"Stay boy, I'm taking a nap I'll wake up soon." With that, Botan slept on the couch, and Hiei was unconscious in the floor.
Yeah, I got the ideal from Inuyasha, which I don't own, but it's a fun ideal. I am trying to wrap this up soon. And yes I have posted a new story, but I'm still working on this, so don't worry my readers. Sorry for the shortness.
(1) You all may be thinking I'm playing with the name, but I swear that's what it says on the box set with the beads, it says Inuyasha's Beads Of Subjugation, and on the inside, it has a picture Inuyasha trying to pull off the beads and it has at the bottom Please take extream caution when yelling "SIT BOY" It's funny.
Sorry to ramble, bye and review.
