"Shizuru!" Koenma ran out of the back room and out of Botan's apartment. Shizuru walked out of the room a minute later.
"What did you do sis?" Kuwabara asked.
"Guys," Shizuru said. "They never want to be kissed."
"Ha-ha," Botan laughed. "You kissed Koenma?"
"Ya, you better believe it," Shizuru sat on the floor next to Yukina and Keiko.
"We're playing gold fish," Kurama said.
"And Kurama's not wining," Keiko said.
"Yusuke you were right, Botan's a world champ at gold fish," Kuwabara said.
"Well, that's game," Botan stood up and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Keiko asked.
"Going to get some air," Botan said and left.
"Hiei go with her," Kurama said.
"Why?" Hiei asked.
"I think some things wrong," Kurama said and Hiei stood up and followed Botan. "That worked."
"Is it really that easy?" Keiko asked.
"Yes, believe it or not they both like each other," Kurama said.
OUTSIDE
Botan walked around the park that was across from her apartment building. It had snowed about a foot last night and there were little kids running around playing in the snow and teens ice skating.
"Botan, is anything wrong?" Hiei asked from beside her.
"Don't scare me!" Botan said.
"Hn," Hiei said.
"Nothing's wrong, why would you ask?" Botan asked.
"Kitsune said that something might be wrong," Hiei said.
"Well, nothings wrong," Botan said and walked down the path. Hiei followed. After a while of silence a bunch of teenage girls walked over to Hiei and started to ask him questions.
"Hey, what's your name?" A blonde asked.
"Hiei," he said.
"Well, Hiei is that your girlfriend?" a brunet asked.
"No," Hiei said and more girls ran over to him and pushed Botan away.
"Move," the blonde one said. The girls made a circle around Hiei and Botan walked on down the path.
'Looks like he's having fun,' Botan thought sadly.
"Would you go out with me?" the girls kept asking and Hiei kept saying 'No,' but they wouldn't listen.
Later
"Leave me alone!" Hiei shouted and they girls slowly back away. "Finally!" Hiei looked around for Botan but saw her no where.
"Are you looking for that girl with the blue hair?" a girl with brownish blonde asked.
"Where'd she go?" Hiei asked.
"She went down that way during the first five minutes, she looked pretty down," she said.
"Hn," Hiei said and walked into the woods.
"Hey! Can I come?" the girl ran after him.
"Unless you have nothing better to do," Hiei said.
"No," the girl said. "My name's Minnie."
"That's great," Hiei said sarcastically.
"Okay, I know exactly who you are, Hiei Jaganshi," Minnie said and Hiei stopped.
"How do you know my name?" Hiei asked.
"I know more than just your name," Minnie laughed playfully. "You know Rikku, Shuichi's girlfriend?"
"Ya, the pathetic hyper freak," Hiei said.
"She's not a freak but she gets hyper easily," Minnie said. "Ya, well I am her friend and another ferry girl."
"Great another ferry girl," Hiei said sarcastically and walked on.
AGAIN, LATER
Botan was very bored and had been sitting on a rock next to a pond for about a half an hour now.
"Botan," Hiei walked in to the clearing with Minnie.
"Hello Botan!" Minnie said and followed Hiei.
"Can't you leave yet?" Hiei asked Minnie.
"There's nothing else to do," Minnie said.
"Hi, Minnie," Botan said.
"I thought you said Botan didn't know you?" Hiei said.
"Rikku told about you the night she slept over, how is doing? Have you seen her lately?" Botan asked.
"Ya, I saw her yesterday," Minnie sat down next to Botan and Hiei sat in the tree above them. "Koenma is working everyone like crazy! I'm glad I got my vacation before this crazy attack from Koenma. He even called me to see if I would come back early."
"I'm sorry," Botan said.
"About what?" Minnie asked. "If you're talking about how you turned down Koenma..."
"How did you find out about that?" Hiei asked.
"Everyone knows Koenma liked Botan and since he's been acting crazy everyone guessed you turned him down and Rikku said you did."
"Koenma is strange," Botan said.
"Well, I go to go, it took longer to find you than I thought it would," Minnie said and stood up.
"Bye Minnie," Botan said.
"Bye Botan, Hiei," Minnie said.
"Hn," Hiei said and Minnie disappeared.
"Hiei come down here," Botan said and Hiei jumped down from the tree and sat on the rock next to Botan.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"It seems you're a true ladies man," Botan laughed and Hiei shivered.
"Why'd you leave?" Hiei asked.
"It looked like you had your hands full," Botan said.
"Come on Botan, you know I didn't like that, you could have helped out," Hiei said.
"Helped? You wanted me to help?" Botan looked shock.
"I hate human girls," Hiei said.
"I was a human girl," Botan said.
"Are you right now?" Hiei asked.
"Sort of," Botan said. "I have a human body, but I'm a ferry girl...ya I am."
"Most human girls," Hiei said.
"Are you saying you don't hate me?" Botan asked.
"I don't despise you, I consider you a friend," Hiei said.
IN THE APARTMENT WITH THE OTHERS
"They've been gone along time," Rikku said.
"Hello," Minnie walked through the door.
"What did you find out?" Kurama asked.
"Nothing," Minnie said, besides that he thinks Rikku is a pathetic hyper freak."
"Why that ..." Rikku started but the door opened again. "I didn't say anything!" Rikku hid behind the couch.
"You were about to!" Lee-Lee walked into the room.
"There are to many ferry girls in spirit world that hang out in the living world," Yusuke said and laid down his cards.
"How long have you guys been playing cards?" Minnie asked.
"Since ten thirty this morning," Kurama said.
"I won!" Yusuke jumped up to his feet. "I beat you Kurama! You can't beat that hand!"
"Calm down Yusuke," Shizuru said and laid down her hand.
"Really it's embarrassing," Keiko said and laid her hand down.
"Cool it Urimeshi," Kuwabara said doing the same.
"I don't see why he's so happy," Yukina laid her hand down.
"Either do I," Kurama said and laid his hand down. "I won again, let's play something else. I've won every time."
"How did you win? I won," Yusuke said. "I got all four aces."
"I know, but I got a royal flush," Kurama said and every one started to laugh.
"That can't be possible," Yusuke said.
"Well, it is," Kurama said.
"Hiei just confessed that he thinks Botan is his friend when she was hoping he liked her more than a friend," Rikku said.
"That's what she was hoping?" Lee-Lee asked. "I can't wait until next week."
"Oh ya, you told me about that," Rikku said.
"I got to go," Minnie said.
"Bye," Every one said and Minnie left.
"It sounds so sweet," Rikku said.
"Ya, it looked so sweet," Lee-Lee said. "Fluff! I love it."

Later when Hiei and Botan came back, Rikku and Lee-Lee had left already. "Is that really what they asked you?" Botan asked as she opened the door.
"It was sad," Hiei said.
"Hello," Botan said as she shut the door behind Hiei.
"Hello," every one said from there sitting position watching the TV.
"I see you're not playing cards anymore," Botan said.
"Kurama won every time, again," Yusuke said.
"Let's go out," Keiko said.
"Where?" Botan asked.
"I know this cool club," Yusuke said.
"A club?" Hiei said.
"Ya shorty," Kuwabara said. "You scared?"
"Scared? Of a club? You wish," Hiei said.
"Can you dance?" Yusuke asked Hiei.
"Hn," Hiei said.
"First," Keiko cut in. "We need to go shopping for clothes."
"For who?" Yusuke asked. "Don't you have enough?"
"Not me!" Keiko said and looked at Hiei.
"I agree," Botan said.
"What's wrong with my clothes?" Hiei asked.
"You're not wearing that to a club," Shizuru said.
"Why not?" Hiei asked and Botan picked up the end of his cloak.
"Your clothes are all torn up," Botan said.
"So," Hiei said.
"What should we get him?" Botan asked, the girls went to Botan's room.
"I feel bad for you man," Yusuke said.
"I don't take pity," Hiei said.
"When the girls come out we should go get something ourselves," Kurama said.
"You're right," Kuwabara said.
"He's always right," Yusuke said.
"Don't say it like it's a bad thing Urimeshi," Kuwabara said.
"Let's go!" The girls said and walked out of Botan's room.
"That's a nice dress Yukina, but won't you get cold?"
"She doesn't get cold stupid," Yusuke said. "But Keiko does."
"We'll be inside, they have a heater," Keiko said.
"Shizuru,
aren't you going?" Kurama asked.
"No,
you can't either," Shizuru said. "We have to go see Koenma."
"Oh, that's right," Kurama said. "Sorry guys, bye."
"Bye," everyone said and Kurama and Shizuru left.
Yukina had on a baby blue sleeve less dress that went to the bottom of her knees. Keiko had on a red dress identical to that, Botan had on a black one. No one could see Botan's dress though, because her coat reached to the middle of her lower legs.
"Is there a reason why you two have like the same dress but different colors?" Yusuke asked.
"They aren't ours," Yukina said and every one looked at Botan.
"They were presents," Botan said.
"From who?" Kuwabara asked.
"My parents gave me the red one, my uncle gave me the blue one and I had bought the one I'm wearing before I got those," Botan said. "I think they planned on giving me the same dress."
"Let's go," Keiko said and they left.
