Kuwabara and Yukina were going on a date one night, well, of course Hiei followed to make sure nothing went wrong. For example, if they were about to kiss or they were holding hands, Hiei would do something to make them stop. Also being unnoticed by the couple. Kuwabara and Yukina are now officially going out because Hiei was asleep when he asked her or he would have stopped him.

Yukina and Kuwabara were walking down the road about now and Kuwabara was going to pop the question. "Ump, Yukina we've been dating since the Turukene, basically, right?"

"Yes, Kazuma, I believe you could say that," Yukina said in her quiet, naïve voice.

"Well I was wondering if you'd..." Kuwabara started. Anyone could tell what was going to happen, but Yukina being naïve she didn't.

"Hello!!" Botan ran up to the group before Hiei could hurt Kuwabara.

'Onna, get out of here, what do you think you're doing?' Hiei thought. (Onna means woman)

"Uh, Botan tonight I was um..." Kuwabara said.

"I know, and I'm sorry, but it's getting late and I saw Yukina and you and I thought that Yukina and I should go back to Genkia's before it got any darker.

"She's right Kazuma," Yukina said. "Maybe tomorrow you can ask me that question."

"Okay, by my love" Kuwabara hugged Yukina and than let go. Than he said flatly, "Bye Botan."

"Bye Kuwabara," Botan said.

"Bye Kazuma," Yukina said and they split up.

'Nice going onna, for once,' Hiei thought and fell asleep in a tree, as usual.

~That night~

Hiei woke up with a jolt sweating terribly. 'That was the weirdest dream I've ever had...it was about Botan...' Hiei thought and heard something in the bushes. He looked down and saw Botan.

Hiei was very curious to why Botan was out her this late. Instead of ignoring the onna he followed her. She led to a clearing about a mile away from the tree Hiei had been sleeping in. She seemed to be training. 'I thought the onna didn't have any powers.' Hiei thought.

Botan got in to a fight stance and her spirit energy rose quite a bit. She stuck out her palm and a ball of blue energy shot from it and hit a tree, that made the tree split in have, falling to the ground. She smiles at her work than put her hands together than slowly spread them apart to which she had spirit energy that acted like lightening and she suddenly jumped into the air and fired it at the ground. Everything shook from the energy force for about a mile out. The energy also shook the tree that Hiei was in and he fell out of the tree.

Botan heard a noise in the bushes and went to find out what caused it. When Botan made her way past the bushes she saw an unconscious Hiei laying on the ground about five feet away from where she was training. She shook her head slightly and smiled at the sleeping Hiei. He looked just like a little kid, well sort of.

"Hiei," Botan said softly into his ear and the next thing she knew Hiei had her pinned to the ground with his sword to her throat. When Hiei realized it was Botan he got off her and stood up. "Sorry for the rude awakening, but were you watching me?"

"Where did you get that much energy?" Hiei asked.

"I've always had it," Botan said. "Was this the first day you've followed me?"

"Hn," Hiei said.

"I'll take that as a yes," Botan said. "Than some one else knows."

"What are you talking about?" Hiei asked.

"No one is supposed to know about this," Botan said.

"I know," Hiei said.

"I'll make an exception for you, but some has been following me out here every night," Botan said.

"You come out here every night?" Hiei asked.

"Yes," Botan said. "I usually keep my spirit energy down a lot."

"Does Koenma know?" Hiei asked.

"Know, just you and some one else who has been following me," Botan said. "You should sleep." Botan placed a hand on his shoulder and used spirit energy to knock Hiei out. She picked him up and set him in his tree, than went back to Genkia's temple and fell asleep.

~Next day~

Botan woke up early that morning hearing a sound on the window that sounded like tapping. She got out of bed and walked over to the window. The sun was just rising and the sound she heard was coming from the small koorime. (Koorime means demon)

"What do you want Hiei?" Botan asked as she opened the window and Hiei jumped into her room. Botan sat back on her bed and Hiei sat on her windowsill facing Botan.

"I want to know everything," Hiei said.

"Nani?" Botan asked. (Nani means what)

"I want to know how you got so strong and why no is supposed to know," Hiei said.

"Why?" Botan asked.

"I am curious," Hiei said.

"Umm, not here," Botan said.

"Why not?" Hiei asked.

"Yukina or Genkia could walk by and hear my telling you," Botan said.

"Meet me in the park in two hours," Hiei than disappeared.

"Weird demon," Botan said and got ready.

~Two hours later~

Genkia and Yukina had awoken about an hour ago, now it was time for Botan to leave and she didn't want them to worry so she snuck out. As she was walking down the temple stairs Yukina came out and called to her.

"Botan!!" Yukina ran up her. "Where are you going?"

"Umm, I'm going on a walk in the park," Botan said.

"Would you like me to come with you?" Yukina asked.

"No thank you, I'll be fine," Botan said and left.

~At the park~

Botan was looking for Hiei unsure of where in the park he wanted to meet. There was a rustle in the bushes and Botan jumped around. Hiei walked out of the bushes looking quiet tired.

"You're late," Hiei said.

"Well, I'm sorry Mr. I'm-so-perfect, I had to get away from Yukina and Genkia," Botan said.

"That's nice," Hiei said sarcastically. "Now, tell me."

"Can't we at least sit down?" Botan asked and the next thing she knew she was sitting next to Hiei on a tree branch. "I guess you're not a demon with patients."

"And you're going to be a soulless ferry onna if you don't start to talk," Hiei said.

"Umm, okay," Botan, said nervously. "Well, I'm basically like Yusuke, I have spirit energy...but I'm not supposed to."

"And why not?" Hiei asked.

"There was this curse in our family and it really reflected off on me," Botan said. "If anyone were to find out, I'm to kill them or give my life. There's only one person who can know about it, of my choice and besides my family."

"So why did you choose me?" Hiei asked and remember his weird dream.

"You found out on your own and I don't want to kill you or really any one, but I have killed a bunch of demons."

"What if you didn't kill them and didn't kill your self?" Hiei asked.

"Than the one person who does know will slowly die a painful death and his family will also die like him or her," Botan said. "That's you."

"Hn," Hiei said. "And you care if I die or live?"

"It's not only you that will die, Yukina will die also," Botan said. "But the only way I can truly die is my soul can no longer exist in any time. So I will be erased from the past, present, and future."
"Tough," Hiei said. "But why do you train than?"

"Because it's fun to blow things up," Botan said and Hiei gave her a surprised look. "Okay I love burning things."

"Whoa onna," Hiei said sarcastically. "I never expected this out of you."

"Well...nobody has so far," Botan said.

"Hn, you are strange onna," Hiei than disappeared.

~Next day~

Botan couldn't sleep at all that night. She was worried that if someone else would find out. What would she do? Most likely she'd give her own life before anyone else's, but she still was a little scared of dieing again.

The door opened and Yukina walked in. "Botan, its past noon are you okay?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" Botan asked.

"You haven't come out of your room and the guy's are here to talk about the next mission," Yukina said.

"Oh! I'll be out in a second," Botan got off her bed and walked out of the room with Yukina. They walked in to the living room and sat on a chair. "Hello boys! How's your day so far? I see even Hiei showed up for a change, that's good."

"Can't you tell grandma to install an escalator or something so I don't pull a muscle every time I walk up those stairs?" Yusuke asked rubbing his lower leg.

"Umm... No," Botan said. "You just need to get in shape!"

"What would you know about getting in shape?" Kuwabara asked.

"You do remember I am the team trainer right?" Botan smiled evilly.

"Meaning you'll get us in shape?" Yusuke asked.

"Botan is right though," Kurama said. "Even though she is under powered than us, she could still get us in shape."

"And how are you expecting she'd do that?" Yusuke asked.

"She'll think of something," Hiei said.

"So shrimp are you sticking up for her now?" Kuwabara asked.

"No," Hiei said.

"I bet something's going on between the two," Kuwabara laughed.

"KUWABARA!" Botan hit him over the head with her oar.

"Is there something going on?" Yukina asked.

"Nothing at the least," Botan said.

"So what so you plan we do?" Yusuke asked.

"Well boys, go get some work out clothes or something less nice," Botan said and laughed. "I see Keiko had you go out to lunch again, Yusuke."

"Shut up!" Yusuke stood up and left with Kuwabara and Kurama.

"Hiei can't at least participate?" Botan asked.

"I am," Hiei said.

~A few hours later~

Finally the guys came back and were in decant clothes. Hiei had only taken off his cloak. "What do you suppose we do, Botan?" Yusuke asked.

"Don't doubt the Angle of Death, I'll think of something to do after you guy's run up and down Genkia's steps 15 times," Botan said and Yusuke and Kuwabara groaned. "Oh hurry up, the sooner you finish the sooner we have lunch and move on to do something else. Hiei you can't use your super speed. GO!!"

The guys started and surprisingly Hiei still finished first, about 10 minutes after they started.

"Hiei are you hungry?" Botan asked looking at the koorime who looked like he had been sitting down all day.

"I'll live," Hiei said.

"Oh Kay!!" Botan said. Next Kurama finished a couple minutes after Hiei and looked like nothing happened also. "Well done Kurama..."

"I'm done!!" Kuwabara yelled.

"No you're not," Botan said.

"Nani?!" Kuwabara asked.

"Don't try to trick my Kuwabara," Botan said. "You're only on eight."

"Nooo!" Kuwabara said.

"You're wasting time talking Kuwabara, Yusuke's going to finish before you," Botan said and Kuwabara started running again. "See, he was trying to trick me!! I'll get him later."

"So you weren't sure?" Kurama asked.

"No, but when you guys showed up Yukina came and got me and I could hear Kuwabara complaining about how Yusuke's faster and how his legs hurt," Botan said.

"You are a good trainer Botan," Kurama said.
