STRANDED!!

To be Chosen

Sooner than they thought, Hiei and Jewls soon came out of range of the bombs that appeared out of nowhere. They stopped running. Jewls was out of breath beside him and walked to the nearest cave. 'Well that's a way to explore an island.' Hiei thought rolling his eyes.

"I knew you were a demon, but I had no idea that you could run that fast! It was amazing." Hiei barely spared her a glance as he kept walking to the back of the cave searching for some kind of spring to wash Botan's cuts in.

He used his sensitive youkai hearing to listen for the stream. He soon found one, luck only. He ran the rest of the way to get to it. He positioned Botan in his arms and walked into the stream like river.

He placed Botan waist deep and started to scrub her cuts. She was hurt badly. Two scars on her chest where her shirt was ripped, a couple on her hips and god knows where else on her body. He started scrubbing her arms and gulped before taking off her shirt. She would kill him if she woke up right now. Jewls ran over just in time to see him take off her shirt.

"Hiei!" She scolded.

"What!" He snapped back.

"You're doing a woman's job! Let me wash her, so you just go make a fire." He reluctantly handed Botan over to Jewls and walked away glancing back a few times before walking out of the cave to get firewood.

They were not alone on the island and he knew it. Jewls had completely rebased his theory.

OoO

"GODDAMNIT! I've waited long enough, and I'm going off to find them!" Shouted the young spirit detective. Keiko walked over to him.

"Yusuke…calm-"

"NO! Damnit, Botan's out there somewhere, and lord only knows what Hiei's doing to her." Yusuke was pissed beyond belief. He wanted to find his assistant and now!

"Yeah, Kurama I think its time we go and look for them." Touya said. Jin agreed as well as everyone else. Yukina looked up at him.

"Please Kurama, I'm worried about my brother and Botan." (She knows...obviously)

Kurama sighed. "Alright, but we need to find a plane-"

"You mean steal one." Yusuke grinned. "That's the only way red." Before Kurama could protest everyone left him and ran to the back of the airport to get their F-69 Jet.

OoO

"George, bring me my communicator so I can see how Yusuke and the others are doing on the mission." Koenma said.

"Um…sir, Yusuke called earlier, it seems that Botan and Hiei never arrived. And Yusuke and the others stole one of the airports jets only 10 minutes ago." George ducked a bit as Koenma's head snapped up form the desk.

"What!"

"Just what I said sir…"

"YUSUKE!" Rekai shrunck to Koenma's voice as it rang throughout the seven planets…well maybe not that far, but far nonetheless.

OoO

Hiei returned an hour later with a pile of logs and sticks on a huge leaf. "Hiei…" He heard a feint voice of Botan as he entered.

"Onna…?" Hiei dropped the logs and ran over to the fallen girl. Jewls smirked and walked over to the logs and started to pile them up to make a fire.

Hiei placed Botan's head on his lap. He was going soft. He moved a few strands of hair from her face and stared down at her. Her eyes fluttered open and looked up at him.

She smiled and whispered to him. "Thank you Hiei…" She coughed and was out cold once again.

"Onna?"

"Let her rest Hiei…" Jewls said knowingly as she kept her gaze on the fire she recently created. "She was hit pretty hard and she really needs to rest. She shouldn't have even said your name, it had to have taken a lot of energy."

She looked up at Hiei as he sat on the log across from her. Hiei didn't look at her. "What is she? She's isn't human."

"She's a ferry girl. She ferry's souls across a river Styx in Rekai." Was all Hiei said. He stared at the fire. He saw a slight blue glow from the corner of his eyes. Botan was glowing and there were lightning crackles around her body.

Hiei turned back to the fire as Jewls turned to see what he was looking at. She gasped. "Hiei! What's going on!"

"She's healing herself." Came the simple reply. Hiei stood. This woman was completely clueless and completely unworthy of his time.

"Where are you going?" Jewls looked up at him.

"To get some food. You've got to be hungry, and I know I am, and when the onna wakes up, she'll be hungry. Stay here and watch her."

With that last word, Hiei walked out of the cave. Jewls stared after him. She sighed. His heart was with the other woman, but that didn't mean she couldn't try.

OoO

Hiei walked down the dark path of trees and shrubs and vines. He had to find some kind of food source. There was no way he was going to figure out Botan's magical bag and he wasn't even going to try. The things she pulled out of that thing were a complete mystery.

He kept walking. There was only the light from the full moon for him to see. He sighed. His instincts would get stronger in the next couple of days and with two girls now, it was going to be almost impossible.

The realization of two females will awaken the attraction he has strongest and he'll go after her, and he was sure it was Botan. He didn't want to do that to her though. He had to keep it under control more than most times. He defiantly did not want to hurt the onna.

Hiei kept walking until he heard a twig snap with his sensitive hearing didn't miss it. He turned abruptly and swiftly pulled his katana out and pulled it to the owners' neck.

OoO

SNORE!

A figure was slumped over a log sleeping. The sleeping figure was known as Jewls and she never noticed a now awake ferry onna move and walk out the cave.

OoO

"Hiei?" Came the voice of a young woman. Hiei gasped softly as he realized it was Botan.

"Onna, what are you doing out here!" He hissed. "Its too dangerous and your still too weak, what if something happened to you?"

"I'm sorry Hiei, but I thought you left me, and…and I came looking for you." Botan's eyes started to water, but she angrily whipped them away. She was angry that she was always so weak in front of Hiei.

Hiei's eyes softened a bit, but in the darkness it still looked like you were looking evil in the face.

"Just…" He sighed. "C'mon." Hiei grabbed her by the upper arm and started to lead her back to the cave. He had noticed that almost all of her cuts were healed. But she would still have a few scars.

He suddenly stopped. Botan slammed into his back and almost fell if it weren't for Hiei suddenly turning and pulling her up. She was about to say thank you when she was suddenly pressed against a tree.

Forcefully, yet gentle.

Botan opened her eyes only to be greeted by his ruby red ones. Hiei placed either of his hands on both sides of her. His eyes glazed over a bit and Botan gasped. His instincts were coming back!

Hiei dipped his head and captured her lips in the most passionate kiss. He moved his arms and brought them around her waist pulling her away from the tree and wrapping them securely around her. Botan had no power over her actions and melted at his touch.

And to the fact that he was a really…really good kisser. Botan placed her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. They soon broke apart for air and Hiei lowered her to the ground. He growled when she started to push back.

"Hiei…no…stop…"

He lowered his lips to her neck and moved up to her ear and whispered the statement so seductive that Botan shivered. "Why should I onna?"

"Because Hiei…this…this isn't you…" Botan was trying really hard not to succumb to the hot fire demon on top of her. She moaned as he moved one of his expert hands up her thigh.

She squirmed trying to get free, but to no avail. He moved his hand to her waist and to her flat stomach. The whole time he was staring at her for her reaction. He moved his hand up the side of her breast and behind her neck behind her hair.

He lifted her back with his other hand and with his right he pulled out her hair tie making her hair cascade down her back like a waterfall of sparkling blue water. "Hiei…please."

Hiei was starting to get annoying with her pleas and grabbed the back of her neck crashing her lips with his. Maybe she couldn't get out of this…but she knew if she didn't then she would have a fire demon yelling at her in the morning.

"Hiei! STOP!" She shouted when they broke apart for air. Hiei's eyes immediately became stark red again and Hiei backed off a bit.

She was panting as he stared down at her. He got off of her and pulled her to her feet. Botan was brushing herself off from the dirt of the ground when Hiei grabbed her wrist and pulled her against him.

He wrapped his arms around her and placed his chin on her head as She rested her head on his chest, her eyes wide. "Listen onna…gomen, my instincts are going to get stronger and I'll be going after you more."

As much as she didn't want to say it…she had to. She swallowed. "B-but what about Jewls…why don't you go after her?"

"My instincts…they have already chosen the person they want." With that said Hiei let go of Botan and started walking back to the camp. Botan followed with a new train of thought as the food for the night was forgotten.
