Botan had fallen asleep on the way to Kurama's and woke up the next day in his room. She sat up in Kurama's bed and heard him talking to his mother.
"Mother, she'll only be here a couple of days at the most, she got badly hurt last night while walking home from work," Kurama said.
"Oh, what happened?" Shori asked.
"A bunch of boys mugged her and she got hurt and I'm trying to help her get better," Kurama said.
"Oh, that's sweet of you, hopefully she'll be alright," Shori said and Kurama opened the door and shut it behind him. When he saw Botan up he smiled and walked over to the window, opened it and sat on the edge of the bed.
"How are you feeling?" Kurama asked.
"Better thank you," Botan said and Hiei jumped threw the window.
"Hello Hiei," Kurama said and walked over to his computer and started typing. Kurama turned around a second later. "Are you thirsty?
"Oh, I'll have some water," Botan said and Kurama turned the monitor off and left for a second. Hiei sat on the window sill and looked outside.
Kuwabara walked into the room and stopped in his tracks when he saw it was just Hiei and Botan. "Oooo, are you two having fun?"
"What?" Botan asked.
"You know Botan, Hiei here..." Kuwabara said.
"Don't believe anything he says," Hiei said glancing over his shoulder. "It's not true."
"It's true! Botan, Hiei might not admit it, but he has a lot of feelings for you," Kuwabara said and sat down at Kurama's lap top.
"Um...whatever; Kuwabara you shouldn't do that," Botan said. Kuwabara turned on the monitor of the computer and read all of his instant messages.
"Oh, hey you should hear this," Kuwabara said. "This is hilarious, some girl I.M. Kurama, she goes, 'Hey hot-stuff," Kuwabara laughed as Kurama walked into the room and handed Botan her glass.
"What's so funny?" Kurama asked and Kuwabara got out of the chair and Kurama sat down. He read the message and turned bright red than started typing.
"So Kurama who was that?" Kuwabara asked. "Was that your girlfriend?" Kurama slouched down in his chair.
"Yes," Kurama mumbled.
"She seems...to like you for your looks...a lot," Botan said.
"Isn't that what every girl wants?" Hiei asked.
"No!" Botan said. "Well, not me, I look for a guy..."
"I don't care," Hiei said.
"Yusuke's on," Kurama said. "Should I tell him to come over?"
"Why not?" Botan said. "Tell him to bring Keiko and Yukina."
"Sure," Kurama started typing. "He said he'd be here in a half an hour. Botan, can you walk?"
"I could try, I think I can at least," Botan said and stood up, her legs felt really weak and were buckling in. she almost fell to her knee's if Hiei hadn't of caught her. "Thank you, Hiei."
'I can't believe I'm doing this...Oh ya, her mother,' Hiei thought.
"I think Botan shouldn't walk or at least someone should carry her," Kuwabara said.
"Hiei," Kurama said. "Keiko wants to go shopping and you're going to carry Botan or at least help her walk."
"Why me?" Hiei asked.
"Because, we are splitting up in groups and I'm bringing my girlfriend," Kurama said. "The groups will be Rikku and I, Kuwabara and Yukina, Yusuke and Keiko, and than that leaves you and Botan."
"What about Shizuru?" Hiei asked.
"Work, she got a job yesterday," Kurama told him.

When they all met up Hiei had Botan on his back, (piggy back ride!) lucky for him Botan didn't weigh very much, so he could carry her for hours and hours.
"Hey Botan!" Yukina and Keiko ran over to her and Hiei.
"How are you doing?" Keiko asked.
"Oh yes, we heard what happened, we hope you get better soon," Yukina said.
"I'm fine, I just can't walk," Botan told them and they gasped.
"Oh, my, did you hit a big rock when you fell down that hill or something?" Keiko asked Yusuke was in the background giving signals not to tell them about the kidnapping.
"Ya, one hit my knee, it was very pain full and I still can't walk without the pain returning.
"Oh, that's to bad," Yukina said, very worried. "I could heal you?"
"Oh no, Kurama has given me medicine to help," Botan said. "I should be better tomorrow."
"That's good," Keiko said.
"Are you girls ready to go?" Yusuke asked.
"Yes," Keiko said. They walked to the mall and Kurama's girlfriend met them there.
"Hey, Rikku, over here," Kurama called over to her.
"Hello, Shuichi, Shuichi's friends," Rikku said.
"So, is Shuichi's nick name..." Botan tried to shut him up, but failed, "hot-stuff?" Kuwabara asked remembering to call Kurama Shuichi around people from there school.
"Excuse me?" Rikku asked and Kurama covered his face.
"He read your instant message to Shuichi while he was getting something to drink," Botan said.
"Oh," Rikku blushed.
"Nice screen name, Rikku 13(A/N: That is my screen name for those who want it!), so original," Kuwabara said sarcastically.
"I like my screen name, thank you very much!" Rikku said and slapped Kuwabara. "That's for invading Shuichi's privacy!"
"You didn't have to hit him," Yusuke said.
"Oh, I forgot to warn you, she gets mad easily if it's a negative comment about her or me," Kurama told them.
"How did you meet her?" Yusuke asked.
"He's tutoring me," Rikku said and they all split up in to the groups.
"She was kind of weird," Botan said.
"Hn," Hiei said in response. "Do you have any money?"
"Why?" Botan asked.
"You need new clothes," Hiei pointed out and Botan blushed.
"Well ya I have money," Botan said and they went to one of the clothes shores. Hiei set her on her feet and put his arm around her waist so she could pick out some clothes. He than helped her buy them and than to the changing room where he set her down and walked out, and shut the door. When she was done he opened it and they left the store with Botan on his back again. Botan had bought some blue jeans and a black tank top. Hiei walked around the mall for awhile than Botan suggest getting some sweet snow (A/N: sweet snow is ice cream). They walked to the food court and sat down and Hiei went to get some since Botan couldn't walk. She gave him the money and He came back a little later with two, he gave her one and sat down. "Hiei, who is Yuma?" Botan asked and Hiei's eye's widened. "You don't need to know," Hiei said. 'Yet.' "I would like to know," Botan said. "If I don't need to know that means she wasn't that big of a person which than you can tell me." "I said, you don't need to know," Hiei said. "Was she important?" Botan asked. "Yes," Hiei said.
"For you? Or for everyone?" Botan asked.
"I knew her before she died," Hiei said. "She was important to me and to everyone. She was my mother's best friend. When I was kick out she took me in and cared for me, but than she died. She was a human, than after she died she turned to an apparition."
"Really?" Botan said. "That was nice, she seems nice, and I'd like to meet her, at least her spirit."
"You shouldn't," Hiei said and finished his sweet snow. Botan was only half way done with hers.
"Why not?" Botan asked.
"Not for awhile at least," Hiei said.
"How do you eat so fast?" Botan asked.
"It's sweet snow," Hiei said. "Hurry up, you take to long."
"I do not, I'm faster than Keiko and Yukina," Botan said.
"They're girls, just like you; girls take to long," Hiei said.
"Done," Botan said and Hiei threw the cups away, than picked Botan up again. They walked around for a little bit and than decide to just sit down and wait for everyone at the movie theater. There were chairs outside so they sat in them. (A/N: Outside the building.)
"Can you walk yet?" Hiei asked.
"Doubtful, but I could try," Botan said and stood up.
"Not here," Hiei said. "Sit down before..." But Botan fell over and Hiei caught her, he than placed her in a chair next to him. "How long do we have before they are supposed to meet us here?" Hiei asked and Botan checked her watch.
"Two hours," Botan sighed. "I feel tired all of a sudden," and she pasted out.
"Botan," Hiei said and stood up. "Botan?" Hiei shook her a little. "If you die, it's not my fault." Hiei sat down and waited.
