STRANDED!!
Sleeping Arrangments
"H-Hiei?" Botan asked trying to breath. He was just sitting there…on top of her staring into her pain and confused filled orbs.
"H-how…w-why won't anything work?" Hiei started off softly, but it came out as a shout of anger. Botan flinched. She didn't understand what his inner torment meant…
"What's wrong Hiei?" Her pain was filled and replaced with concern. He stood hovering over her half naked body and turned and left with a sudden gust of speed.
HIEI'S POV
I don't understand. All the other times during this season, I was always able to control my youkai desires. But what's so different now? Is it the island? I did feel a change in the air…when Botan hit that damn duck.
Grrr…damn ducks, always interfering with private matters.
FLASHBACK
"Hiei? What's wrong?" Came the voice of a very annoying ferry onna. Hiei opened his eyes slightly.
"I'm fine onna, what do you want?" Hiei was casually perched on his favorite tree for an afternoon nap, when Koenma's favorite assistant bothered him.
"I just…wanted to check on you." She said and they both heard feint chuckling from out of nowhere. Hiei jumped down from his tree flashing Botan a scowl and proceeded to walk over to where the chuckling was coming from.
"Yes master…that's right…hehehehehe…she has come to see him and I think…" All of a sudden the branches were moved out of the way to reveal two ducks sitting down…talking!
"What the hell…?" Botan and Hiei muttered.
"RUN!" The ducks shouted and soon disappeared into the sky.
END FLASHBACK
"Damn ducks…" I muttered. They were spying on me and the onna that day. I eventually killed them and made them take me to their leader! Well maybe not…going that far…
I turned to see Botan running back to the camp a towel wrapped around her beautiful body…whoa! Did I just…
NORMAL POV
While Hiei was left to his thoughts Botan took a pair of pants and a shirt. She ran behind the tree and dressed pulling her hair into its usual ponytail. She put everything back in her mystical bag and ran over to Hiei.
They had to start their journey sometime and now seemed to be best. Just to get away from Hiei's hormones. At least try to.
"Hiei when are we going to explore the island?"
"Morning." That was all he said before he brushed past her and went to his usual log to sleep.
Botan sighed and walked veer to the tree pulling out an inflatable bed to sleep on. Hiei's eyes almost popped out of socket. "Where that hell onna, do you get all of those things?"
She shrugged and as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out like a light. Hiei snorted and he too soon fell into a light slumber.
OoO
The beautiful sun kissed the horizon as Botan stretched and yawned after a good night's sleep. She looked over at Hiei who was not where she had left him…
She sweat dropped and looked up after hearing a slight snore from above. She stood up and almost fell back to the ground laughing at what she saw.
Hiei was half hanging off of the branch sleeping with a bubble coming out of his nose as he breathed. He looked so cute!
Botan however was not amused when a slight bliss filled word came from his lips. "Botan…" It breezed off his tongue like it was the sweetest thing in the world. Botan stood stiff. What the hell was he thinking...?
That was it…"HIEI!" Botan shouted as loud as she could but no birds flew from the trees like they do in cartoons. He almost flew directly into the water…well close enough.
"Well…he's awake." Botan sweat dropped. Hiei came out of the sand…again and stalked up to the snickering Botan.
"What was that for?" Then the events of his 'dream' came back full force and he felt the heat rise to his cheeks. "That does not leave this island." Hiei glared at her to seal the agreement and Botan nodded and soon busted out laughing.
"Ok…ok! I'll stop!" She had recently got annoyed when she fell over laughing and he started kicking her in her ribs. "Kami! Do you have to be so pessimistic?"
Hiei refused to answer that and he fissioned away leaving Botan to brush the dirt off her body. "OH! He is sooo naïve! It pisses me off!" Botan stalked over to the fire to eat after pulling some ramen noodles out of her 'mysterious' bag.
"He just thinks he's all that! I mean c'mon! YEAH RIGHT! Stupid black headed fire demon!" Botan was furious by now. She started to think back to all the times when he was mean to her and insulted her and made fun of her hair and eyes.
She sweat dropped as she saw a mental image of Hiei laughing evilly while she was tied to a tree. "He would probably do that to…"
She rolled her eyes and kicked at the dirt in front of her. "We're supposed to explore the forest today." She finished her noodles after insulting the koorime over and over again. "Well I'm off to find Hiei!" She threw her mysterious bag over her shoulder and started off to find the fire demon.
OoO
Hiei ran as fast as he could into the forest to the spring he found the other night. He had to cool down. That dream…about the ferry onna no less…Hiei was disgusted with himself.
He found the spring in less than seconds. Yet it took him a while to get there…why he would never know. He was the fastest demon alive and he could match anything…or so he thought. He heard a twig snap and turned around in the blink of an eye.
What he saw made his heart lurch.
