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: It's been three days into Mating Season and Botan's finally getting the affect. Will her daydreams get the better of her, or will she have control?
Okay, thank you to my reviewers! Okay, well, I've been having this float around in my head for a while, and I couldn't help it. Oh and Botan seems kind of dirty in this chapter, but it's because of Mating Season.
Chapter 11- Mating Takes Affect Part 1, Botan
His soft, plump lips wrapped around the sweet, red berry. Botan looked on in wonder at how it just seems to call to her, just to touch his lips. She longed to taste him, ahh but fate wouldn't have it. At least that's how he seemed to Botan.
Hiei's mouth sheathed around the tip of the strawberry while his eyes closed as if of their own accord, a soft, muffled, purr rumbled deep within his throat at the bitter sweet taste. Botan felt her face heat up as she bit her lip.
Botan drew away her eyes as she licked her lips, longing to taste the sweet fruit as he tasted it. The sound, it made her so… ugh! If he only knew what he was doing to her would he stop? No, he'd probably take sadistic pleasure from it.
"Mmmh. Ferry girl, you should really try these strawberries, there very good." Hiei said, as he was in one of his, I don't have to act all big and bad moods.
"It's such a peaceful day, don't you think so, Hiei?" She said, as she was sweating, she couldn't tell if it was her demon instinct, but something was going to happen.
"Ferry girl," He spoke her nick-name sternly but not harshly, it was a manor that made his voice hug the air in which carried his soft word. 'Why?' Was the only word in her mind at the moment.
"Hmm?" She looked up and let out a small peep as she felt the rough seeds of the strawberry trace her lips. 'Why is he doing this?' She screamed in her mind. She couldn't take temptation very well.
"Try this, it's delicious." Hiei said, apparently he had no idea of how he was making her feel at that very moment. 'Or maybe he did, but didn't care.' She thought.
Botan timidly opened her mouth as Hiei applied a small amount of pressure pushing her lips open a little more before she took a bite. She let the sugary nectar fill he mouth.
"Mmm!" she wanted another bite but instead Hiei, finished it off, grinning at her. Botan whimpered in protest and Hiei just looked at her unfazed.
"What is it?" He taunted in an un-playful voice.
"I was going to finish that," she said.
"Hmm." He smirked and held up another perfect strawberry, "Last one," with that he popped it into his mouth. A bigger smirk slithered onto his lips but he soon came to the shocking realization that not only had he swallowed the berry but something else, something wet and warm.
He opened his eyes and found that Botan's lips were pressed to his own and she was searching his mouth for the treat, which he had deprived her of. Her tongue slid languidly through his mouth grabbing every drop left behind by the red treat. Hiei peeled away from her with a dazed look in his eyes. "Baka on-"
Botan jumped, why did she do that? Oh god! She thought, 'he must think… I don't know what he must think, I have to get out of here, now!' She stood up to leave but Hiei wouldn't have it. He pushed everything off of the table and slid her across the edge of the table and sat her down on top letting her legs dangle on either side of him as he sat in his chair.
"Botan." He said in the most unusual purr causing her to shutter. He used her name for once.
"Hiei! I'm so sorry. It wont-" she was cut off by the gaze in his eyes, the way they traveled up and over every curvature of her slender form. Soon she found that his palms had made their way to her knees where his thumbs rubbed her soft skin slightly, she had worn a skirt today.
She blinked as her head started to spin and rush from his slight touch and his soft unemotional gaze. What would he do next? She feared to know and yet longed for it just the same.
"You know, it is not nice to try and take things from people." Hiei said sliding his hands up her leg an inch. "I should get you back for that." He smirked darkly making her shiver.
"Botan!" Keiko yelled at her friend, who had a dazed look on her face. Hiei was locked outside the door and Yukina and Keiko had come over to talk.
"What? You don't have to yell!" Botan said, "Especially at the good part." Botan muttered darkly under her breathe, as Yukina eyed her for a minute. Botan looked at the young demon for a minute. "What is it Yukina?" Yukina looked at her friends faces and blushed a little.
"Um… Botan. Your daydream must have been… erotic, because I can smell your arousal." Yukina said, as Botan's eyes went wide. Then Keiko and Yukina closed in on her, trapping her in a circle, she had no escape because she was back-to-back with the door. They would get answers some how.
"So, who was the star, other then yourself?" Keiko said, as Botan looked at the ground and mumbled a name. "Who?" The teen asked again, as Botan said it louder.
"Hiei!" Botan screamed, as Yukina and Keiko looked at her with big eyes.
"Well what happened?" Yukina asked, as Botan blushed again.
Botan's P.O.V.
"Well, I can't just tell you about it! God, this is all because of that damn Mating Season, why me?" I said, as they looked sad about not getting details. "Fine, I'll just say this, it had strawberries in it. Dear god, do you know how hot he looked eating it?" I said, falling back into the floor. They laughed at me.
"I can't believe it! I wonder, if he had a dream to? Oh god! If Yukina can smell it, then so can Hiei, and what if you have a dream about him again, he'll ask you about it!" Keiko said, as I sat up fast, pure horror on my face.
"Oh god! Thanks a lot! But this is the first time, it may not happen again. But even so, I'll never be able to look at him again." I whined, as Yukina and Keiko patted my back, then the doorbell rung, and I had to get it.
"Lets go, someone's at the door." I said, avoiding eye contact at all costs. It was Kurama, I guess Hiei needed someone to talk to.
"Hello Kurama. Um… if you and Hiei talk, it'll have to be by my bedroom door, me, Keiko, and Yukina are… er talking about school?" I lied, they didn't buy it, but didn't question me. I led them to a small little living room like spot in front of my door. "Bye."
"Guys, Kurama is here. Him and Hiei are most likely talking. What will we do? We have to demons, with good hearing right beside us basically." I said, my back was against the door, stupid curse.
"I don't know, but we'll have to stop talking about your… odd daydream. Hey, will you ever eat strawberries again?" Keiko asked me, I threw a pillow at her, making Yukina laugh.
"I feel so embarrassed. My dream, it had me and him outside, and he was eating those damn strawberries. He gave me a bite of his, then ate the last one. So I kissed him and jammed my tongue down his mouth to get it back." I said, as my hands ran through my navy locks.
"Wow. I suppose you have something for us to do?" Yukina said, as I called Keiko over to me.
"Keiko, on that table is a book bring it here please." I asked her, she got the book and gave it to me. It was a fairly big book with a black cover. "This book is Koenma's, it has his opinion of us and people we've fought against." I said, as they got closer, we were going to read it.
"Okay, first is Keiko. It says, you work hard, when you make friends you keep them. You're very responsible, but you're also a victim." Keiko smiled at me, then I turned to Yukina. "Okay, for you, it says cute nice and kind, you're the picture of innocence." Yukina smiled at I faced both of them.
"Okay, for Yusuke, it says, you're the hero! Angry at a lot of people, but you make friends easily, and you're very loyal to them. It also has, most likely to die by a psycho post office employee. (That you managed to piss off.)" Keiko's eyes widened and me and Yukina laughed.
"For Kurama, it says you're nice, your smart, you can fight, everyone loves you. You're like Mary Poppins…" I laughed at that, so did Keiko, and I think I heard something by the door. "Oh god, for Hiei it says, no one messes with you. You're quiet and obedient. In a scary way.…" All three of us paled and I flipped the page.
"Wow, Koenma has a lot for Hiei. It says you're a psycho who loves to cause others pain. What's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but laugh, as Keiko and Yukina sent each other weird looks. "If asked your age after talking to you on the phone, people would think you were: 16, you're so angry at the world." We all laughed at that one.
"Here's another Yusuke, you're angry, you're hungry, and you're powerful. I'd be testy too." Kieko looked embarrassed, and we all laughed. "It also has Shizuru's, you don't care what anyone thinks about you, you just want your cigarettes and a little respect." I said, as we all nodded.
"Oh he has one for that really cute demon, Touya! Me and Yukina both had a small crush on him. But she moved on to…" I stopped, Yukina gave scary death glares. "Any way it says, you're quiet, smart, and careful. You have a strong sense of morals and only respect those who earn it."
"Oh, it's Kuwabara's, you're loud and excitable. You're loyal to friends, and a hopeless romantic." We all nodded, that sounded like Kuwabara. "Aww, it has Jin! It says you like to have fun. Sometimes other stuff happens, but it's not really important. And you LOVE nature." I sighed dreamily, and the others shook their heads.
"Your so fickle. You leave one demon for an Irish one, who's as air-headed as you!" Keiko said, as Yukina backed her up.
"We weren't even going out. Plus I only think he's cute. You can't say it's the same as liking because I think lots of guys are cute." I said, as they raised their eyebrows at me.
"Name all of the guys you think are cute." Yukina said, as I nodded at them.
"Yusuke, Kurama, Sniper, Jin, Touya, Rinku, Youko, Shishiwakamaro, and I know he's kind of creepy but Karasu, and Hiei." I said, as they looked at me, "But by far, my favorite cutie is Kuronue." I said, we all squealed, we all had a small liking to the demon.
"No, he's my favorite, after Yusuke that is." Keiko yelled, trying to catch herself.
"What about Hiei. I mean he does have that bad boy thing going on." Yukina said, as Keiko nodded, grinning at me.
"Or, he could be the 'hot, caring, strawberry loving' guy that-" Keiko started before I jump and covered her mouth. I didn't care about the stupid curse, I she didn't want her to say my name with the two guys so close.
BAM
Hiei came crashing threw the door, Kurama still had his ear pressed against where it was. We all looked at each other, and I said the first thing to mind.
"SIT!" He fell, but not on my floor. He fell on my face, we ended up kissing, and we were stuck that way for a good while before the 'sit' spell wore off. "Oh this is just terrific!" I yelled, I was frustrated.
"What in the seven hells were you doing listening to us talk?" Keiko said, as all three of us got up, and looked very threatening to them.
"Wait! I have a question first. Who thought Hiei could be' hot, caring, and strawberry loving'?" Kurama asked, as we all blushed, lucky, he wouldn't be able to tell who it was. Keiko was talking and I watch her well then.
"Oh, that's easy it was-" Me and Yukina cut her off, we both jump on the girl, making her stop.
"Say on more word and I will have my revenge." I said in a cold tone. She nodded and looked at the two guys, who had started talking again. I wonder what about. I couldn't hear them, too bad.
"Yukina, will you take the cover for me? You owe me for the picture I got of Kurama half naked." I said, as she nodded, we all got back up and headed toward the guys. It was only a few feet though, so it didn't take long.
"It was Yukina. She thinks Hiei loves strawberries, and we all agree that Hiei is kind of hot. Plus to Yukina, he is caring." Keiko said, Kurama and Hiei bought it. I'm saved from this nightmare for now.
"So, what were you two talking about?" I asked the guys, as they blushed. We laughed at them, then I looked at the clock. "It's late, you guys might want to leave now." I said, as we said our good-byes. I was afraid to sleep, I didn't want to be alone with Hiei, and I still couldn't look him in the eye.
"Look me in the eye." Hiei said, as we sat in the living room. I tried to, but I couldn't, that dream made me so
jumpy.
"I'm hungry, lets get me something to snack on." I said, as I heard Hiei's stomach rumble. I giggle as we walked to the kitchen. I opened up the refrigerator, and to my horror was a note inside.
The Note:
Dear Botan,
I'll get you to go out with Hiei if it's the last thing I do. Hope you and Hiei enjoy these… strawberries from me and Kieko. Maybe you'll end up like in your dream.
Ja, from Yukina.
Then the note had a small drawing of a chibi Yukina with a peace sign. I sighed, and took out the red fruit. I saw Hiei's eyes light up, I guess he did like strawberries.
"They were a… gift from Yukina and Keiko." We both sat down in the living room couch, eating the sweet strawberries. I saw Hiei loved them, and he ate them up, fast. I smiled and after we finished the box, we both fell asleep on the couch, together again.
Okay, how was that? I got the strawberry daydream from my friend who has this sick obsession with her crush. She had that same dream, and I couldn't help but to put it in. Please Review, next chapter will have Hiei's daydream.
