Chapter 13- Flavor, Songs, and Mating
Botan's P.O.V.
I felt someone shaking me, and opened my purple eyes to see Hiei standing over me. I glared at his form, I did not like to wake up early because of others.
"What the hell do you want?" I asked, forgetting all my happy-go-lucky manners and attitude. I catgut him off guard and he looked at me for a minute.
"I can't go back to sleep." He said simply, and I wanted to choke him so much in that second, but I calmly replied to him, my eye twitching.
"And this is my problem how?" I asked, he looked down at the floor then at my still glaring face. Then he mumbled something. "What did you say?" He looked mad for a second and sighed.
"I can't go back to sleep without a story." I twitched some more as Hiei pulled out some kids book from his pocket, most likely from Kurama. I took the book and opened it, while sitting up in the chair.
"Once upon a time… the end!" I said, throwing the book in the air and using my miko powers to burn the book to ashes. "I have a better story." I said as Hiei sat back down on the couch and waited. "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. He had the greatest fall of all. He fell, and he fell, and he and fell. Until he landed, onto the ground. All the king's horses and all the king's men, and all the starving villagers ate eggs for lunch, breakfast, and diner, forever and ever and ever. NOW GO TO SLEEP!" I said as I turned over and fell back asleep on the couch. Hiei looked shocked but followed my directions, going back to sleep.
"God, I thought you'd be a morning person." Hiei said, and I mumbled under my breathe, "The hell I am." Then we slept for a couple more hours, well really until like noon.
"Hiei. Get up." I said happily, getting over my bad morning. Hiei looked at me oddly but I shook it off. He groaned and got up, and followed me to my bedroom. I pulled out a pair of denim shorts and a blue tang-top. He waited outside my bathroom door as I took a shower and changed. As I came out I threw a red and white jersey with some baggy blue cargo shorts and pushed him inside.
"You smell bad, take a shower and change." I said as he looked offended. He came out about ten minutes later and I ran to throw him some sneakers and put my own on. "We're getting sweet snow with the others." I said as that was all that was needed to get the demon to leave the house. I locked up and we walked in the heat.
"Let's go, I can see the fox's red hair from here." Hiei said as we ran to see our friends. We all were at an ice cream cart and ordered. Hiei used up my money and got two ice cream cones, while I got two milkshakes. Keiko had a Sunday and so did Yukina. Kurama had one cone, and Yusuke had a popsicle. Me, Keiko and Yukina had walked behind the two guys as they talked, Hiei ignored us and walked about one or two feet away from us as far as he could with the curse and all.
Hiei wasted no time in eating the soft substance as his tongue smoothly ran along the cold peak of the cone. In the Jaganshi's other hand, the strawberry cone started to drip down his hand. In an instant, Hiei lifted his arm high enough to where the drip was running and caught it with tongue, and he followed the trail all the way back to his ice cream cone.
Keiko and Yukina's breathing became more labored as we walked in silence walking up to see Hiei better. I sighed at my friends. "Yes and I'm so fickle." I said sarcastically to them, as they glared slightly.
Keiko's P.O.V.
Me and Yukina couldn't keep our eyes off of Hiei. It's so not our fault that the way he ate that ice cream was so… alluring. I heard Botan sigh and talk to us, "Yes and I'm so fickle." she said sarcastically to us, we glared slightly, not really willing to keep our eyes off the prize. Then Botan actually looked at Hiei, and looked like she was going to pass out at any moment as she watched Hiei but instead her nose started to bleed, and Botan quickly fished for a napkin inside her pocket.
"You okay Botan, your nose is bleeding?" Kurama asked as Botan blushed and came up with some fake excuse.
"Uh… it's just so hot out, it must of made my nose bleed. I'll be fine." Botan lied, as Yukina and me knew it, but before we could question all three of our gazes locked onto Hiei.
Botan's P.O.V.
Then, Hiei encircled his mouth to intake all the ice cream above the base of the cone. He repeated the same process with the other cone. Next, the small demon engulfed the entire cone and then the other. However, melted ice cream remained on his hands, so one by one, Hiei licked the remains of his sweet treat, off his hands. At the end, Hiei twisted and sucked on his pinky finger the longest. Once Hiei was done, he looked up and saw that all three of us were staring at him.
"Like what you see?" He said as Kurama and Yusuke stopped, and laughed. We all turned bright red and glared at them.
"You really shouldn't eat like that, people may think your gay." I said as Hiei's eyes widened and Yukina asked us to go to my house. I agreed and we were on our way to my apartment. That's when Keiko and Yukina got closer to me and asked me for a favor.
"Botan, I love Kurama, but I need help." Yukina asked me as Keiko nodded, I sighed and agreed to help. Besides I already knew what I would do, I just never thought it would take this long for her to admit it.
"Okay, guys outside my door, girls inside. And I swear to god if I catch you guys spying on us again, there will be hell to pay." I said as we split up and me and Hiei sat back to back against the door.
"So Yukina, I'll help you, but Hiei's going to need to be apart of it." Yukina nodded as I opened the door and pulled in Hiei by his ear. I waved to the others and told Hiei about Yukina's crush.
"So, what's the problem, just tell him how you fell?" Hiei said, I guess it was harder on Yukina then we thought.
"I can't even say the l- word anymore, now that I told Botan." She said as I pushed Hiei to sit in front of her.
"That's why we'll practice on Hiei. Just say those words, and we know you really don't feel that way about Hiei. Yukina squirmed as she bowed her head.
"I can't." Yukina said as we sighed, Hiei also sighed as he stood up, ready to lecture to Yukina.
"There is no 'I can't.' Either you love him or you don't. You can't be so wishy-washy. Don't beat around the bush, you told us that you love him, now tell the guy!" Hiei said sternly, Yukina looked up and smiled she raced out the door grabbing Kurama's hand and leading him somewhere. I smiled at Hiei who snorted.
"Let's go." I urged him, he looked at me oddly, "I have to make sure she's safe, she calls me her big sister." I said as Hiei face faulted, but before he could say anything I grabbed his arm and ran to follow them.
With Yukina and Kurama In Some Bushes
Reader's P.O.V.
"I don't see why we have to hid." Hiei growled out at the poor girl. Botan just sighed dreamily and looked on at the love scene.
"I love you Kurama!" Yukina yelled, her eyes closed, when she didn't hear anything she almost felt like crying. Then she heard Kurama stutter.
"I-I l-love you too Yukina." Kurama said as they closed the small gap between each other and kissed. Botan and Hiei looked down and blushed.
"Gee, only together like this for a few minutes and already they kiss." Botan mumbled as she looked at Hiei's rose tinted face, as they moved closer and kissed themselves.
"Hello guys. Nice to see you two are going out." Yukina called to the bushes, breaking the kiss the two shared. Botan's face turned ruby as did Hiei's. Kurama and Yukina laughed at them and pulled them back to Botan's house, where Yusuke and Keiko were making out on the floor.
"Uh… guys. It's time for karaoke!" Botan said happily at seeing the machine already set up from what she guessed was before Yusuke and Keiko locked lips. Everyone agreed and Keiko and Botan pushed Yukina on the stage.
"The song she's going to sing is for her brother and father figure Hiei!" Keiko said as Yukina blushed and Botan pushed the play button for the speechless music.
From pigtails to perfume
I'm growing up so soon
Going to parties
I love having my own room
Don't spend as much time at home now
There's so much to do
But I know, it's true
I'll always be daddy's girl
Out in the great big world
He's taught me what's right from wrong
I feel so strong
I'll always be daddy's girl
I fill up my diary
With all my dreams and hopes
My future keeps changing
Like a rainbow kaleidoscope
A special boy waits just for me but
Even though he's so nice
I know, inside
I'll always be daddy's girl
Out in the great big world
He's taught me what's right from wrong
I feel so strong
I'll always be daddy's girl
Soon I'm gonna be all on my own
I feel ten feet tall
I'm not that little girl any more
I can do it all
I'll always be daddy's girl
Out in the great big world
He's taught me what's right from wrong
I feel so strong
I'll always be daddy's girl
The greatest gift in the world
Is being daddy's girl
He's given me the perfect start
Right from the heart
I'll always be daddy's girl
I'll always be daddy's girl
I'll always be daddy's girl
Daddy's girl
Everyone clapped for Yukina's song as she smiled at her friends. Then she sat down and pushed Keiko to the stage. She called the attention of her friends.
"Now this is a song for Yusuke from Keiko!" Yukina said as Keiko blushed and Botan once again pushed the button for the speechless music to play.
Deep in my soul,
A love so strong,
It takes control.
Now we both know.
The secrets bared,
The feelings shown.
Driven far apart,
I make a wish on a shooting star.
There will come a day,
Somewhere far away,
In your arms I'll stay,
My only love.
Even though you're gone,
Love will still live on,
The feeling is so strong,
My only love, my only love.
There will come a day,
Somewhere far away,
In your arms I'll stay,
My only love.
Even though you're gone,
Love will still live on,
The feeling is so strong,
My only love, my only love.
There will come a day,
Somewhere far away,
In your arms I'll stay,
My only love.
You've reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart,
I've known it from the start,
My only love, my only love.
The girls went 'aww' as Hiei made fake gagging noises, then Hiei himself was pushed to the stage, and he was about to curse when Botan gave him the 'I'll-sit-you-so-hard-your-back-will-break' look.
"Well, we have no clue who Hiei will be thinking of as he sings his song, but I'm sure Botan will pick a good one!" Keiko said as Botan smiled as pushed play. A pop tune came out as Hiei twitched, singing the song.
There are days when those
gray skies make you blue.
Each forward step you take,
ya fall back by two.
You've been hit by some hard knocks,
You just can't stand.
Feeling like Alice felt in Wonderland.
Let me be the one to lend a hand.
Call my name and I'll be there.
There's nothing like the laughter that we share.
Whenever you need someone or a shoulder to lean on,
Call my name and I'll be there
And when life's going your way,
Just like a breeze,
It's a high-flying kind of day above the trees.
Together we'll be making memories.
Call my name and I'll be there.
There's nothing like the laughter that we share.
Whenever you need someone or a shoulder to lean on,
Call my name and I'll be there.
As this world turns us around,
We hang on to what we found,
A treasure we both need.
I will go that extra mile
to give you back
that certain smile that you've given me, Yeah!
I'll answer every time and anywhere.
Call my name and I'll be there.
There's nothing like the laughter that we share.
Whenever you need someone or a shoulder to lean on,
Call my name and I'll be there.
Call my name and I'll be there.
Call my name,
Call my name,
and I'll be there.
Yusuke was tempted to laugh, but the death glare Hiei sent his way told him not to. Keiko and Yukina clapped and Kurama said that he liked the song. Though it was Botan that got Hiei to confess who the song was for.
"Tell us who it was about or face the wrath of Inuyasha's Beads of Subjection!" Botan said as Hiei paled looked around for an escape and saw none, so he just sighed and told the truth.
"It was… about you baka onna." Hiei said, making Botan blush, and catching her off guard long enough for Yukina and Keiko to drag both of them to the stage. Botan got over her embarrassment, and yelled at Keiko, only to stop as she heard the intro to her favorite Sailor Moon song.
I've waited all my life
For the day when love appears
Like a fairy tale in days gone by
He will rescue me from my fears
And now I feel him standing close to me
And how can I tell him what he means to me
My heart stand still--has he come
Oh starry night
Is this the moment I dream of
Oh starry night
Tell me, is he my own true love
Every night I think of him
Here in my lonely room
Waiting for my prince to come
Wondering if he'll be here soon
And I sit patiently, waiting for a sign
And I hope that his heart longs for mine
He calls my name, is he the one
Oh starry night
Is this the moment I dream of
Oh starry night
Tell me, is he my own true love
Oh starry night
Is he the one that I dream of
Oh starry night
How will I know
Will his love show
Is he my own true love
Botan smiled as she thought of Hiei for some reason. Then she turned back on her friends. "Let the guys sing something, less mushy, I'm going to take a nap over here. I'll still hear you guys though." Botan said as she sat her back against the wall of the stage. Hiei swore he saw all three girls share a knowing smirk, but shrugged it off as Yukina pushed the others up on stage and Keiko started the nest song.

Hiei

Uh! I Honk the horn can you honk the horn?
Can you honk the horn?
Let me hear you honk it! Come on!
While Hiei was singing the last parts of the song, Yukina and Keiko got an evil look on their faces as Botan woke up, around the time of Hiei saying he slept with her best friend. Then she came up behind Hiei and sung the last part, with a few changes.
Now you'll hear me say sit, sit!
Now you'll hear me say sit, sit, sit!
Now you'll hear me say sit, sit!
Now you'll hear me say osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari oh yeah!
Now you'll hear me say osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari, osuwari oh yeah!
"That's the last time I'll ever say it, unless I have too. I said the s-word that many times for all the times you made me mad!" Botan said as Hiei was yelling from the large crater her 'sitting' had made.
"Uh… it's late Botan, so we'll just get going." Yukina said as the other three teens nodded and left the two demons in Botan's house.
"Bye love-birds!" Yusuke called to Botan and Hiei who both grew red.
"Uh… Hiei, Let's go, I'm tired." Botan said as she pulled Hiei up, then he pulled her closer to him and kissed her. She blushed bright red and was surprised when he tongue found it's way inside her mouth.
"Baka onna…" Hiei started getting Botan's attention, her navy hair bounced as she looked at his face. "I- uh… talked to the fox, about a mating season dream I had about you." Botan nodded as if to make him continue. Hiei stopped and turned red as he closed his eyes and yelled.
"I love you!" Hiei yelled as Botan blinked, once, twice, then she moved away from Hiei and blinked again.
"Y-your serious!" Botan squeaked out and hugged Hiei tightly, making Hiei moved back at the sudden ball of happiness in his arms. After a minute or two he hugged her back and lifted her face to look at him again.
"Of course I am, now let's go to bed." Hiei said as he walked in front of Botan as she stood in her spot. About ten feet later he saw Botan wasn't by him and the curse wasn't affecting them.
"Yeah! Two birds with on stone! I get a mate and get rid of this stupid curse!" Botan yelled as she pulled out her compactor, looking for Koenma's face only to see him and a blonde ferry girl making out. She called Hiei over and started laughing. That got Koenma's attention as his eyes widened and pushed the blonde away.
"Uh Botan, what a nice visit. I was working hard on getting rid of the curse!" Koenma said, lip stick all over his face and his brown hair messed up.
"Right. Anyway I got rid of the curse. I guess I had to fall in love and me and Hiei are going to get mated." Botan said as Koenma's eyes popped out of his head.
"Y-you and Hiei? Well, ahem, that's quite fine, as long as your sure." Koenma said, seeing the glare Hiei had sent him upon his outburst. He smiled at them as Yusuke's voice came from his side.
"Damn it! I can't believe I lost a bet to Yukina and Keiko! How the hell did they know Hiei and Botan would end up together?" Then there was a pause as Botan and Hiei glanced at each other,
"What! You mean Kurama knew too! God damn it! I'm not paying Kurama too!" Yusuke yelled as more incoherent cussing was heard, and a voice that sounded suspiciously like Youko's was heard along with the call of a rose whip.
"I'm sorry! I'll pay up! Put me down! You used the one with thorns!" They heard Yusuke yelled and an evil laugh coming from a voice that sounded like normal Kurama. Koenma looked at the two demons then out at something else.
"Shut the hell up! They hear you guys!" Koenma yelled causing a sweat drop to form on Hiei and Botan's head. Everything got quite again as Koenma looked nervously at the two. "Bye, good luck on everything." Then some more yelling was heard before Koenma could close his compact.
"See you in hell stupid fox! Spirit Gun!" Yusuke yelled.
"Freeze!" Yukina yelled as Botan and Hiei looked at each other again and listened to what ever they could.
"We'll stop! Besides Kurama's back to normal!" Yusuke yelled as they heard Keiko yell some things at Yusuke, something about not being able to use the edible underwear if he didn't stop yelling. Then they heard Keiko's mighty slap put a stop to Yusuke's whining.
"Edible underwear?" Botan asked as she looked at Hiei who seemed very disturbed. "I don't even want to know the kinky things Yusuke and Keiko do behind closed doors." Botan said as she shuddered. Hiei picked her up and kicked open her bedroom door.
"You talk too much!" Hiei said as he dropped her on the bed and the two ended up kissing for a better part of the night.
A/N: Done! This thing was 12 pages too! Anyway one day I will write a squeal. If I feel like it you guys may get a real ending chapter instead of this crap. Anyway I hope you guys have enjoyed my longest fic ever! I'm working on a Botan/Kuronue fic for later.
