Chapter 7

Wasted Time

Later that night when everything started settling down at the party, Botan dismissed herself early saying she didn't feel well. Hiei really knew what she was going to do. Write in her diary. And he wanted to know her point of view on the night.

His lips still burned from the kiss. He still didn't know why he kissed her but he wanted more. She was like a hard addiction...and he just couldn't get enough of her.

He saw that Kurama was talking to Yusuke and the oaf was dancing with Yukina. Everyone was leaving and some were staying at the building. Buttercup had left a lone time ago.

Now on to more important matters...Botan.

oOo

"Master?" Came a beautiful feminine voice from the shadows.

"Yes what is it?" His voice was cold...emotionless.

"It's not working sir. Hiei's emotions are coming out as you predicted." She said sitting in the leather chair across from her boss.

"Then you must do something about it. While he's sleeping put this pendant around his neck and he will be all yours." He said handing the girl a beautiful sparkling red necklace only a demon or a deity or detective would be able to see and even they wouldn't be able to get near it. The woman smiled secretivly. It was so perfect. Poor Botan would leave with a broken heart...and Hiei would forget all about her and be all hers.

"Now go." With that he dismissed her and she once again disappeared into the shadows, a smile playing about her lips.

oOo

Hiei fissioned upstairs toBotan's apartmentand opened the door...he did live there...and walked in. Botan was nowhere to be seen, but he knew she was sleeping due to his sensitive hearing picking up her even breaths.

He walked into her room as slow and silently as he could. He walked over to her dresser on the right side of her bed and took out the small dragon covered book.

He walked over to the windowsill and perched himself in a comfortable spot and opened the book to today's date. Botan turned to where she was facing Hiei and sighed deeply.

Hiei red the entry as fast as he could so he wouldn't wake her.

Dear Diary,

Today was awful! Well this morning was fun...Hiei and I set up the decorations in the ballroom for the party. He's a great help...because of his speed we were done in no time at all. Then I had nothing to wear...and turns out Hiei bought me a new black dress! It was gorgeous. Then...later on in the day...I found out that Hiei was going with Buttercup and I felt awful again. I had Sniper take me...and it was great...we dance and everything until the Karaoke came on. Buttercup was first and anyone could have seen that she was singingit for Hiei. Then it was my turn and I sang my heart out and ran to the others crying after. Then it was Hiei who sang the song for me. I loved his voice...it was pure...well...bliss! Then when he was finished he started walking towards me and Buttercup went to run to him but he pushed her and I was shocked. Then he wrapped his arms around me and the kiss was sooo passionate. It was like I was floating in thin air and wasn't alive. But it won't last forever...nothing ever does in my life.

Hiei finished reading the diary entry and walked over to Botan placing the book back in the drawer. He looked at her beautiful form wrapped in lacy black sheets. He felt himself being drawn to her once again. Something was wrong...but he didn't seem to care for the moment...he was too tired.

The last thing he saw before darkness claimed him was the glowing of Botan's pendant on her chest.

oOo

That nighta womansnuck into Botan's apartment. She searched everywhere for them and eventually found both of them sleeping together in Botan's bed. She scowled.

Hiei had his arms wrapped around Botan and Botan had her small hands on his chest.She walked over to them in disgust and looked at Botan and saw her chest glowing. She moved the hem of Botan's shirt down and saw what she was looking for. She knew she wouldn't be able to get it yet...so she would wait.

Thenshe looked over at Hiei. She smirked. Soon she would have Hiei and the Dragon Tear. Ultimate power and the most powerful demon in all of Makai. Hers...and hers alone. No Botan in the picture.

Shereached in her pockets and took out the pendant. She looked over and Botan and then to Hiei. She always got what she wanted and no ditzy deity would get in her way. This time would be no different.

She took the pendant and slipped it around Hiei's neck. It glowed and finally grew dim with her aura.

To be continued...
