Because Of Fruitcake
Summery: A series of unfortunate, or fortunate on your view, events, caused by Botan smelling of fruitcake, leading up to a Hiei/Botan romance
Chapter summery: The gang plays baseball and shortly leaves the two demons, as Hiei makes Koenma put Botan under a spell, will it work?
Okay, thank you to my reviewers! I'm so sorry for the wait, but I was having computer problems, and then when I got it fixed earlier, a friggin' storm came and knocked out the power.
Chapter 9- Baseball and Spells!
"Come on Hiei! We have to leave now, we're going to play baseball! Even though we don't have enough people." Botan said, pulling Hiei out the door, he sighed and came. He had on a black tee-shirt and his training pants, and Botan was wearing a long tee-shirt and some shorts. They were racing through the streets to get to the baseball field. Botan thought it would be a good idea to have some fun, that and the fact that baseball helped her get stronger with her metal bat, which she held in her hands.
The two made it to the field and saw Keiko and Yukina waving to the them. Botan ran over, out of breathe, with Hiei grunting to say hello to them. The girls just nodded to each other, and went into the restroom to change. Yukina had made them some uniforms, they were tan shorts and a tan tee-shirt. The boys had to wear what they came with.
"Man baka onna, your shorts are a little small, ne?" Hiei said, making Botan turn red, so she did the first thing that came to mind.
"Sit!" Bam, Hiei fell face first into the ground, making Yusuke laugh his head off and Kurama try to stifle his own. Yukina and Keiko giggled as Botan took her metal bat and bonked him on the head with it. "Serves you right." Then Hiei just had to say something else.
"Hey, it's not my fault you like show some skin!" Hiei yelled at her, making Botan mad, so she sat him, again and again and again.
"Sit! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, and SIT!" Botan said, as Hiei fell back to the ground, groaning in pain. Then Botan bonked his head with her bat again, "You may want to bandage that up." Hiei grunted but took the advise and had Yukina bandage his head up.
"Okay, I'll pitch and Hiei will bat first!" Botan said, Hiei smirked, thinking it would be easy pickings to win.
Hiei's P.O.V.
This will be easy, there's way that the baka onna can pitch good. I went up to bat and had the wood in my hand tight.
Blink… whoosh… blink. What the…? All I did was blink and she had a strike on me already! I saw her smirking at me, and it was very annoying. So I got ready to bat again, I was going to hit it if it was the last thing I do.
Blink… blink…whoosh…whoosh. She did it again! All three strikes in the blink of an eye! It was like that way for the other two innings I batted in, except for this one.
"Ouch! Damn it!" I yelled, she had hit me in the nose, and it was bleeding, so I had to sit on the bench, with tissues in my nose to stop the bleeding. Now my head can match my nose. I thought bitterly, as it was Yusuke pitching and Botan batting, I had to stay some-what beside her because of the curse.
Yusuke pitch and Botan hit the ball into another out-of-the park home run. I think this one left the Earth's atmosphere. I had to follow the baka onna around all the bases, as she did the most idiotic dance.
"Uh-uh, oh yeah, thank you, thank you!" I sweat dropped at her, then she looked at her watch, sighing, she called the rest over to us. "It's time to go, I'll see you guys tomorrow or whenever!"
Botan's P.O.V.
I sent the others to go on ahead, and I picked up my bat, raising it above my head to look like I was about to hit Hiei again. He filched. I laughed on the inside.
"Hiei, you never even swung the bat." He looked up at me, we were walking home slowly, and I thought, for just a minute, that he looked like a little kid, lost and alone. But I shook the thought away as he answered me.
"What's the point?" I smiled, he sounded so… absent? I'm not sure what he sounded like, but it wasn't his cocky attitude.
"You never now what you can do, until you swing the bat chief." I laughed as he thought over his new nick-name. "You always demand things done your way, so I'll call you chief!" Hiei just nodded, then I saw him crack a half of smile.
"Hey, onna, you smell kind of nice." Hiei said in an odd sounding voice, I blushed and mumbled a thank you. I think it's from the mating season, but it's pretty nice to have such a cute… hot… wait a minute! This is bad! Great, it seems I have a crush on Hiei, just great! I thought bitterly, this is going to be one hell of a week with Hiei. A week of mating season, stuck with Hiei.
At Botan's House, Hiei's P.O.V.
"I'll be back, stay by the door, and don't come in!" The baka onna said, as she went back into her room to change into a tee-shirt and shorts. I took out the compact thing and called the brat.
"Toddler, make a spell to make the baka onna do what I tell her to do." I said, as Koenma didn't even look up to see me, saying something about 'That would upset her miko powers' or something like that.
"Do it, or else I'll see to it that Botan finds out about camera in her room to see her naked." I said, that got him. He hurried and pushed some buttons, then he looked at my face and did some smile.
"Okay Hiei, all you have to do is tell her what to do, and she'll obey. But-" I said hn and closed the machine, as the baka onna came out of the room and looked in a trance. I saw that she had changed and was looked at me.
"Go make me a sandwich." I said, as she smiled and started walking to the kitchen, I had to follow, and I waited and she hummed some song and made me a roast beef sandwich.
"Here you go Lord Hiei." I raised my eyebrow at the 'lord' part and sighed, making her follow me to the living room. We were watching TV, when I thought to make her do something stupid.
"Hey, go find me a dodo bird." I laughed as she got up and I walked with her to find a dodo bird.
"Yes Lord Hiei." She looked for a good hour before I made her stop and we walked back to the living room.
"Get undressed." I said for fun, before I was face first into the floor.
Botan's P.O.V.
"SIT!" I said, as Hiei went face first into the floor, "You pig." I yelled as he got up and up did a nervous laugh at me.
"Why hello onna, I see your awake." Hiei said, as I just started at him, with fire burning in my eyes.
"I see. Well, for future reference, the spell made me obey. I was awake the whole time!" I growled out, and Hiei looked shocked for a minute. "Sandwiches and dodo birds?" I yelled as Hiei flinched. "Do you have any idea what it's like listening to you?" I yelled as Hiei said no.
"I'm sorry." I stopped fuming and stood in shock, Hiei never said sorry. It must have been the mating season. I smiled at him, then it felt weird smiling at Hiei so I stopped. I looked down at him and said it was okay, even if it freaked me out.
"Before I met you guys, nothing like this ever happened to me. Ferry Girl school sucked, Koenma acted a lot weirder. Then Yusuke died and I've been on the craziest adventures, I'm the envy of all the ferry girls, plus your fan girls." Hiei's eyes looked at me when I said fan girls.
"A lot of girls like you." I explained as he said 'oh' and we went to sleep on the couch. I suppose if he acted like this more often, it wouldn't be so bad to be stuck to him. I yawned as Hiei sucked his thumb, maybe I'll tell him about that tomorrow.
Oaky, please review, I'm posting chapter 10 in a few minutes because you had to wait so long.
