Diclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho….

Botan yawned slightly. Her English teacher, Nihano-sensei an elderly woman was drawling over the wonders of English, leaving his class all in a snore. Still, Botan forced herself to pay attention. She wasn't going to sleep! Get it together Botan! This isn't grade school!

Yukina, being the good girl she was and wanting to make a good impression, was scribbling down notes. Kurama was also awake, but you could catch the lovely redhead with a little yawn. Hiei showed no signs at all of being drowsy, though you could tell he was bored. Really bored. "When will this stupid woman shut up!" he hissed.

Botan scowled at him. She was sitting right next to him. How convenient. For some strange reason, for all her classes he sat next to her. That was really weird. Also quite irritating. "She's the teacher. She has no right to shut up to the likes of you!" Botan snapped. Hiei glowered at her. No one dared to speak to him like that. He let out a small growl. Botan's ears perked up. The growl, it sounded different, not human….

"Botan? Botan-chan?" Botan blinked. "Oh, Yukina-chan! Gomen, you were saying something?" Yukina smiled. "Ne, it's alright. Class is over though…" Yukina pointed out the empty classroom. "Oh….." Yukina sweatdropped.

How could she not notice that class ended? Yukina dismissed the thought and took Botan's arm. "It's lunch time Botan-chan and we should—"

"ALL RIGHT! LUNCH! IT'S LUNCH! I WANT RAMEN! RAMEN!"

Yukina stared at her, "Botan-chan—"

"WHEE! LET'S GO TO THE CAFERTIA!" Botan cheered happily! "Ramen!" She smiled cheerily and skipped about chanting "Ramen, ramen, ramen!" As she danced off to the cafeteria Yukina whispered, "They don't sell ramen at the cafeteria…"

Or do they?

That, my friends is the question.

As Botan was skipping she crashed into someone. "Oh, I'm so so sorry!" she gasped helping the girl up. The girl smiled, "That's okay. Hello, my name is Keiko." The girl had short light brown hair and golden brown eyes. Botan grinned, "Hi, I'm Botan! And I'm going to get ramen!"

Keiko stared at her, "They don't sell ramen."

"WHAT! Oh, darn!" Botan looked very sad and pouted. As quick as she turned sad she gave Keiko a merry smile. "Oh well! Here, let me introduce you to Yukina—Yukina? Where'd she go?"

Little did Botan know that she had left Yukina behind when she was cheering for ramen. "That's okay. You can introduce me later. Let's go to the cafeteria." Keiko replied. "All right!"

Hiei glared angrily at his friend Kurama. Why? Because a bunch of Kurama's fan girls were surrounding him and Kurama? Yep. "Kurama…" he hissed angrily. Kurama eyed his friend warily, "Hiei control yourself…."

"Oooh! Hiei-sama!" a girl squealed in a flirty tone. She grabbed his hand and batted her eyelashes at him. Hiei gave her a cold stare, "Release me." He stated stiffly. The girl let out a high-pitched giggle, "Oh, I just adore boys who play hard to get!" His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Listen you wench," he snapped, "I have no time for your games. Let go."

She gave him a wide cheesy grin and planted a huge.

Sloppy.

Smacking.

Kiss.

On his cheek.

Kurama stared his eyes widening. Oh no, he thought. For a moment everything was still. Hiei stood still his bangs covering his eyes, a dark mysterious aura surrounding him. "Hiei-kun?" the girl asked sweetly. His head shot up his eyes glowing red for just a minute.

Then it was gone.

"Fire…" Hiei whispered before he fell to the floor. "HIEI-SAMA!" the girl cried out. "Your kiss must have poisoned him!"

"SHUT UP!"

Kurama stared in shock at his friend sprawled on the floor. "It can't be…" he whispered. He clenched his fists, "It's happening again." A little voice whispered in his head.

"It has begun."

Botan skipped happily with Keiko to the cafeteria. She felt a tug in her heart. "What?" she asked herself. "Botan? Are you okay?" Keiko asked staring at her.

Botan had a weird expression on her face. It was as if she was remembering something.

This time she felt her heart burning.

Like a fire building inside her chest.

"It's so…hot?" she whispered. Keiko looked really concerned now. Suddenly a plant that was right next to her burst into flames. Keiko gasped and gave out a little shriek. Botan stared motionless at the fire. It wasn't normal. the flames weren't red and orange like normal fire. It was..

"Black," she said in horror staring at the flickering flames. Keiko gaped at the fire. This broke the rules of all science! "Oh my.."

Then the flames were slowly taking shape. Shaping into an animal.

A lizard? No, no…

"Dragon…" Botan hissed and felt a warm glow on her cheek. Her eyes closed and she fell to the floor ignoring the cries of Keiko.

A pair of red eyes staring. Black fire that was so hot, yet chilling and foreboding.

And Botan knew something extraordinary was about to happen, and she would be involved. Her whole life was about to change. (A/N: I was about to end it here! You lucky people. o.O

"Oh my god!" Keiko was panicking now. A girl she had just met had collapsed in front of her. And, as a plus a plant had burst into flames. Except the fire wasn't a pretty red or orange like it was supposed to be. It was black!

Then Keiko saw someone walking across the hall. "Yusuke!"

A boy with gelled black hair and chocolate brown eyes turned to Keiko a smirk on his face. "Hey Keiko, babe what's up? Oh by the way, nice skirt."

SMACK!

Poor Yusuke was rubbing the now red handprint on his face. Keiko was huffing in anger. Then she remembered Botan. "Oh Yusuke, my friend fainted!" Yusuke turned his attention to Botan and freaked out.

"Holy crap! That girl is dead!" Keiko glared at him. "She's not dead you baka! Now help me get her to the nurse's office!" Yusuke rolled his eyes. "Yes mother…"

"What was that!"

"Nothing, nothing…"

"Good, now come on…" Yusuke glanced absentmindedly at the burnt plant. "Whoa! What happened?" Keiko sighed and rubbed her temples, "Long story. Now come on."

Yusuke lifted Botan easily onto his shoulders heading to the infirmary with Keiko following not knowing that their lives were about to change drastically.
