STRANDED!

Swim Kisses

The next morning Hiei's eyes snapped open. His eyes darted around to his surroundings. He then felt himself holding a very warm body. He looked down and almost threw the beauty to the other side of the island.

But as fast as his speed would take him, he placed the deity on the ground softly and sped over to the other side of the fire. He tried to catch his breath.

He looked back at her and sighed. This was going to be a long long journey. There was a storm the night before and Hiei had to put twigs and grass everywhere.

He didn't know why, but the rain looked green for some reason. His head jerked to Botan when he heard her moan in discomfort. This was going to be a long time indeed.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "What hit me?" Botan groaned and tried to stand. Hiei sweat dropped. Botan fell to the ground again as if she hadn't used her legs in months.

She rubbed her head. Hiei turned back to the fire that recently went out. Botan was now up and about and as bubbly as ever. "So Hiei, what's for breakfast!" Botan smiled broadly. It was Hiei's turn to groan.

"How about fried baka onna?" Hiei smirked when she paled.

"Hehehe…I'll just go swimming then." Botan then ran to her bag and took out a swimsuit she had brought for when they finished the mission, which she will now not be able to go on…

She sweat dropped and walked over to a couple of trees and hid behind them in fear of what the evil koorime might see. Kurama made Hiei bring some black swim shorts, but she wasn't about to remind him.

Over by the fire sat a very smug looking fire demon whose forehead was glowing. He read her thoughts and went to look for his bag.

Botan finished changing and stepped out from behind the trees and placed some sunblock on her back. She didn't see Hiei on the shore anywhere and shrugged. Her bathing suit was black with some red flames on the sides.

She laid a beach towel out on the sand and then walked over to the ocean water and dove right in. The water was really refreshing. Not too cold…and not too hot.

Hiei soon found his bag and looked for his swimsuit. He found it and was thinking about just scaring the onna, not knowing that it wouldn't just be harmless fun.

Hiei put on his swim trunks and walked towards the beach putting his things by the fire on the way. He didn't see Botan anywhere in the water. Only a towel and sunblock on the beach, but…no Botan.

Soon she came out of the water like a mermaid on a rock, looking beautiful in the rising sun. He went to the other end of the water and dove in.

He swam like a shark stalking its pray. She was humming a tune and Hiei found it soothing, but shook his head to rid himself of such thoughts. He swam out to Botan and slammed his hand on her foot.

She squeaked and pulled her foot out of the water 'fast'. "What the hell was that!" She then started muttering many other curses that were so un-Botan like. Hiei smirked when Botan gasped in surprise when a pair of strong arms came up around her waist.

"So you swear when you're alone?" His smirk grew wider, if possible, when he came up fully.

"HIEI!" Botan shouted in anger. "What on the earth are you doing? Can't I ever get some peace!"

"Hmmm…" He seemed to be thinking with one finger on his chin. "Nope." Botan scoffed. At least he was cute.

"That's it!" She got out of his embrace and lunged at him tackling him to the water. Half of his body landed on the sand while their lower halves were in the water. They landed with a 'thud'.

Botan landed against his chest knocking the wind out of him. When he opened his eyes Botan was sitting on his waist with a smug look on her face.

Hiei wasn't about to give up. Just as he was about to lunge at her, he stopped and his eyes glazed over and turned into green orbs with red slits. Botan gazed at him curiously.

"Hiei?" She asked in question. Hiei's eyes snapped towards her elegant face. He smirked and turned them to where he was on top. He wanted her and dammit, he would have her.

"Whoa! Hiei!" Botan was surprised at the least. This was all so sudden. One moment they were fooling around and the next...

He pinned her arms outstretched to the side, while straddling her waist. "What on earth are you doing!" She was starting to get a little frightened.

"You're testing my patience onna." Hiei growled with a venom of lust. And the bikini she was wearing wasn't helping. She gulped. His lips crashed with hers full force and Botan was helpless to resist. It's not like she could move.

His hand traveled up her thigh to her flat stomach in pure lustful need. His body was radiating warmth and Botan had to stop this before it got out of hand. She pushed his lips away from hers and panted for breath.

"Hiei…you…you have to stop…" She was cut off when he started nibbling on the very spot on her neck. Then it dawned on her. She knew what season this was! And who knew what else this island would do to our favorite fire demon.

"HIEI STOP!" She was going to get to him one way or another, even if she was going to break his eardrums. That didn't work either! Damn! He was still trying to…er…well lets not say.

'I KNOW!' Botan thought using one of her arms to bring Hiei's head in for a kiss, while the other went to her bikini top and pulled out a small piece of metal.

Then she pushed Hiei away and put the metal thing to her mouth and blew!

Oh, Hiei snapped out of it all right! He jumped about five feet into the air, and fell right into the ocean. Botan was rolling with laughter. Good thing she was faster on land while Hiei was slow in the water.

Cause…er…when he came up, he was not happy…

She squeaked and ran for her poor life. Hiei was muttering curses and threats as he tried to get to shore. "ONNA! IF YOU EVER USE THAT THING AGAIN!" He was so pissed. Botan changed as fast as she could and ran up into a tree.

He could catch her easily. But…uh…she would risk it. Things were just not looking up for her.
