Hiei woke in the middle of the night because he was uncomfortable on the couch. 'I liked that bed she has, to bad Botan's sleeping in it or I would, I don't care if the window is broken I still would, I already have.' Hiei stood up and walked over to the door and opened it slowly. He looked in side and didn't see Botan. There was another door at the far wall that was opened. Hiei walked over and lightly pushed it open. It was another bed room and Botan was in the middle of the bed sleeping like a baby.

Hiei walked over to the edge of the bed and Botan sort of woke up. "Can't sleep?" Botan asked.

"Sort of," Hiei said. Botan scooted to the far side of the bed.

"Lay down, this bed is more comfortable then the bed in the other room and the couch," Botan said and Hiei did out of curiosity if she told the truth. In fact she was! Hiei wasn't that tired though.

"Good night Hiei," Botan drifter off to sleep and after so did Hiei.

Hiei woke up first in the morning. Some time during the night Botan had moved over and was sleeping on Hiei's stomach again. "Darn baka," Hiei whispered. He looked down at the sleeping girl. She looked so peaceful and ...cute.

"Botan wake up," Hiei said softly in to her ear.

"Hiei...I'm too tired to work," Botan said.

"I never said you had to work," Hiei said. 'I am growing way too soft!'

"Just let me sleep a little longer," Botan said.

"Hn, a little," Hiei said and Botan snuggled closer. "Just not on my." Hiei tried to get up.

"Yes," Botan said and clung on Hiei. Hiei sat back down and fell asleep.

Botan woke up a couple of hours after. She looked up and saw she was sleeping on Hiei, than Hiei's eyes opened. "Finally," Hiei said and got out of bed. "You wouldn't get off me."

"Oh," Botan blushed a little but turned the other way so Hiei wouldn't see. "Sorry."

'Is she blushing?' Hiei thought and left the room.

'Hopefully he didn't see me blush,' Botan thought and changed into some dark blue sweat pants with a matching tank top and walked out to the kitchen.

Hiei was sitting on the window sill in the living room staring out side. There was a knock on the door and Botan walked over and answered it. Koenma was standing at the front door with his hands behind his back. He showed his hands and there was a bouquet of red roses, white daises, and purple tulips.

"Koenma!" Botan gasped and took the flowers with joy. "They're beautiful!"

"Not as beautiful as you," Koenma said and looked behind Botan. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know you had company."

"No, its okay, just think of Hiei as my roommate," Botan said and let Koenma in not wanting to be rude. 'He said I'm BEAUTIFUL! How nice!' "I'll be right back," Botan got up and walked to her room and Hiei walked to the kitchen. Botan than walked to the kitchen.

"You know he's going to asked me on a date tonight," Botan said as Hiei opened the fridge.

"So," Hiei said digging around.

"Please I need an excuse why I can't go with him," Botan said.

"Why not tell him you don't like him...unless you do?" Hiei suggested as he shut the fridge. 'I am getting to soft!' Hiei thought as he walked over to the food closet.

"I don't want to hurt his feelings," Botan said.

"If you keep coming up with excuses he's just going to keep asking," Hiei said.

"Unless..." Botan said. "Yes! That's it!"

"I'm not doing any thing," Hiei said.

"You're eating all my food aren't you?" Botan asked.

"Hn," Hiei said. "I'm still not doing any thing."

"I will get you that sweet snow that Yusuke promised and never gave you..." Botan said.

"Just for me to play along?" Hiei asked.

"Yep," Botan said. "And double that, six gallons, all yours."

"Fine, what do I have to do?" Hiei asked.

"Act as if you were my boyfriend," Botan said.

"NO!" Hiei said.

"Do you want the sweet snow or not?" Botan asked.

"Hn," Hiei said and they walked out to the living room. Koenma was sitting on the couch watching TV. He hadn't listened to there conversation this time.

"I was afraid you got hurt," Koenma said.

"That sounds familiar," Hiei said and Botan glared at Hiei for a second.

"I'm fine," Botan said and sat on the opposite end of the couch as Koenma and Hiei sat in between them.

"Excuse me," Koenma said and stood up. Hiei scooted closer to Botan.

"Do you need more room?" Hiei asked.

"No," Koenma said. "Botan would you like to go out tonight?"

"I'm sorry, I'm busy," Botan said and gave a weak smile.

"With what?" Koenma asked.

"Hiei," Botan said.

"What do you mean? You and Hiei have plans?" Koenma asked.

"Um...ya," Botan said.

"You're lying, Hiei would never do anything like that," Koenma said.

"Did you notice I didn't refuse to it? I am sitting right next to her," Hiei said barely paying attention.

"What about tomorrow?" Koenma asked.

"Busy," Botan said.

"We are busy for the rest of the week," Hiei said.

"Well Botan if you're feeling well enough to go on a date, you can start work tomorrow," Koenma said and Hiei stood up.

"She's not ready for work!" Hiei said.

"Yes she is," Koenma said.

"Just because she turned you down, you have to make her even more stressed than she already is?" Hiei asked.

"She looks fine," Koenma pointed at Botan who happened to be coughing very hard into her hand.

"You call that fine?" Hiei asked, Botan's face started to turn red and it was hard for her to breathe. She began to pull on Hiei's sleeve.

"Hiei," Botan choked and everything was silent.

"Is everything alright?" Hiei sat down.

"Ya, just choked on some water," Botan said.

"I will see you tomorrow Botan," Koenma walked to the door.

"She won't be there!" Hiei yelled at him and Koenma walked out the door.

"I'm going to get fired if I don't go," Botan said.

"You're too weak," Hiei said.

"Thank you Hiei," Botan said and leaned against the back of the couch. Hiei scooted to the other end of the couch.
