Hiei woke up the next day outside. 'I thought I was inside on the window sill. I knew they'd move me, but to the couch not outside.' Hiei looked down and saw Botan in his arms shivering. 'Okay, this is getting weird.' Botan had her arms around his neck and Hiei was holding Botan bridal style.
Hiei stood up and jumped to the window and walked in. Kurama and Yusuke and Kuwabara and Keiko were sitting at the table drinking hot chocolate and eating eggs, bacon, and toast.
"This is really good Keiko," Kurama said and took a bite off his eggs.
"Too bad Rikku had to leave in such a hurry," Keiko said. "I know she likes eggs."
"Hey Hiei," Yusuke said.
"About time you got back," Kurama said.
"Got back?" Hiei looked puzzled.
"Ya, you left last night while I and Kurama watched Back Draft, good movie, but not my kind of movie I'll have to say," Yusuke said.
Hiei searched Kurama and Yusuke's faces for any sign that they were lying. "When did I leave?"
"About midnight," Kurama said. Hiei was still holding Botan.
"What time is it?" Botan stirred and looked around her. Everyone who was up looked at her. "What?"
"Your hands are around Hiei's neck," Keiko said and Botan quickly let go and Hiei set Botan down.
"It's freezing in here! Is there a window opened?" Botan asked.
"No," Keiko said. "You just came from outside."
"You two were sleeping in a tree," Yusuke laughed.
"Why were we in a tree!" Botan asked. "When it's freezing out side!"
"I don't know," Kurama said. "Hiei woke up last night and picked you up and walked out the window."
"It was kind off funny," Yusuke said and started to laugh.
"I don't find it funny!" Botan said and looked at Hiei. "Why?"
"I don't remember this," Hiei said.
"I'm guessing you were sleep walking again," Kurama said.
"Again?" Keiko asked.
"When I asked where you where going you didn't respond," Kurama said.
"I was half asleep," Yusuke said.
"You're always half asleep!" Botan said and went to change, she came back a moment later in her pink kimono.
"Where are you going?" Hiei asked.
"Work," Botan said.
"On your way back pick up some sweet snow," Hiei said and sat down on the window sill.

Around ten thirty Botan walked through the door; Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, and Kuwabara were asleep.
"Where have you been?" Yusuke asked.
"Work," Botan said half asleep. She set a bag on the floor and walked over to the couch and lay down. "Your sweet snow is in the bag."
"Hn," Hiei stood up and grabbed the bag and opened it. "There's even a spoon!"
"The cashier gave that to me," Botan said and Hiei walked over to the couch.
"Sit up," Hiei said and Botan did. Hiei sat down and started to eat the sweet snow. Botan laid her feet across Hiei's legs and lay across the couch. Hiei didn't really care but kept eating.
"Would you look at that," Yusuke whispered to Kurama.
"She's so tired, Koenma's working her to hard," Kurama said. "I'll see everyone in the morning."
"Where are you going?" Hiei asked as Kurama walked to the door.
"I
need to run an errand," Kurama said and left.
"Botan
can you move your feet?" Hiei asked and she did. Hiei stood up and
threw the container away. When Hiei sat back down Botan put her feet
back across his legs. Yusuke laughed silently. Botan fell asleep
shortly after that.

It was about the middle of the night when Kurama came back. He opened the door quietly and walked in. Kurama tip toed to the living room and sat down. Kurama had gone to see Koenma.
FLASHBACK
"Koenma!" Kurama walked into Koenma's office.
"Hello Kurama, how may I help you tonight?" Koenma was stamping papers.
"Why is Botan at work?" Kurama asked.
"She's at home right now," Koenma said.
"Why did you have her work today? She's only been home four days after her attack with Toguro!" Kurama said.
"I'm sorry Kurama, she has to work, my other ferry girls are sick," Koenma said.
"You're lying," Kurama said.
"What are you talking about?" Koenma asked.
"When you lie, you close your eye's or if you keep them open by will they bulge out," Kurama said. "She won't be working for awhile so I insist you hire some part time ferry girls for a while, Botan needs a vacation."
"Fine," Koenma said and Kurama left.
FLASHBACK
Botan had her feet across Hiei's legs and Hiei was laying side ways over Botan with his arm wrapped around her. 'They are a good couple,' Kurama thought.

In the morning Botan was the first up. 'Is Hiei sleeping on me?' Botan looked up and saw he was. "Hiei," Botan whispered which woke him up a little.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"Whisper," Botan whispered.
"Okay," Hiei whispered back.
"Can you sit up?" Botan asked and Hiei did.
"You're not going anywhere are you?" Hiei asked.
"I'll be back in a second," Botan said and stood up. She returned a moment later and lay back down, so did Hiei. "It's really cold in here; let me turn up the heat." Hiei sat up and Botan walked over to the wall with a little dial on it. She sat down a second later, but didn't lie down.
"Are
you still cold?" Hiei whispered.
"A
little," Botan said and Hiei put his arm around her and started to
rub her arms for her to warm up. (A/N: That works! I've tried it
myself; when you're cold you rub your arms.) "Thank you."
"Hn," Hiei said and Botan laid her head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry," Botan said.
"For what?" Hiei asked.
"For kissing you and for throwing my shirt which hit you in the head," Botan said.
"The shirt was good aim," Hiei said. "The kiss..."
"I'm sorry," Botan sat up straight and looked at him with sorry eyes. "I didn't mean to."
"Hn," Hiei shook his head. "Forget about it."
"Are you sure?" Botan asked.
"Yes," Hiei said and Botan hugged him also knocking him backwards. Surprisingly Hiei hugged back. Botan fell asleep hugging Hiei and Hiei laid on the couch with his arms wrapped around Botan.

When Botan woke up she was still laying on Hiei, who was still asleep. Everyone else was awake, from what Botan could hear they were play poker. Botan looked out the window and sat up straight.
"Good
morning Botan," Kurama said not looking up.
"Why
didn't any one wake me up! I have to go to work!" Botan said
and stood up. Hiei woke up when Botan started yelling.
"You are not going to work," Hiei said.
"I have to!" Botan said.
"No, you can't go to work," Kurama said.
"Why?" Botan asked.
"You're on vacation," Kurama said.
"I am?" Botan asked.
"Starting today," Kurama laid down his hand.
"Gawd, Kurama!" Yusuke said and threw down his hand. "You've won every time!"
"Luck," Kurama said.
"This guy is too darn lucky!" Kuwabara said setting his hand down.
"That's nice bro," Shizuru said and set her hand down.
"Stop complaining," Keiko said and set her hand down.
"It's just a game," Yukina said and set her hand down.
"Kurama you need to stop winning!" Yusuke said.
"Even if I didn't try, I would still win," Kurama said as the door opened and Koenma walked in. Shizuru jumped to her feet and ran over to him.
"Hello Koenma," Shizuru said.
"Hello Shizuru," Koenma's teenager form said. "How are you?"
"I'm great now that you're here," Shizuru smiled. Everyone started laughing besides Shizuru and Koenma.
"Did I miss some thing?" Koenma asked.
"Of course not or I'd tell you, I'd tell you any thing," Shizuru said.
"Than tell me why you're acting weird," Koenma said.
"I found out who I want to give my heart to," Shizuru said.
"And who's that?" Koenma asked, Shizuru was playing with his cape.
"K..." Shizuru said. "O...E...N...M...A."
"..." It took Koenma a while to figure it out but when he did, he jumped back about a foot. "You mean me?"
"Who else silly?" Shizuru said. Everyone else was laughing so hard there faces turned red. "I want to show you something, come with me." Shizuru showed him to the back room.
"She is so hilarious!" Botan said.
"She did well," Kurama said.
