I'm here I'm here! I decided to update early this time for two reasons, a.
I got over 50 reviews and b. I got a lot of reviews so I tried to update
early. I'm going to laugh at myself if this does not come out early. I
guess this came out a little late. ( Yes, I know the characters are getting
a little OCish but I am trying my best to keep them as much in character as
possible. And, yes, I also have been aiming on comedy, most of you are
probably wondering where all the action/adventure is right? Well it is
coming, just be patient. Luv you all (especially if you review) and enjoy!
To my reviewers:(bless you all)
Sarah: Kurama/Botan fan huh? They used to be my favorite couple, and Yusuke/Botan before that actually. I still support both but Hiei/Botan is my current favorite. Read Teach Me! By Goten0040, you'll get hooked! Do you want me to email you when I update chapters?
Jagan: Yay! One of my favorite reviewers! Actually your whole bio is pretty funny! I never knew anyone that went to an all girls' school so I was kinds curios^^ I'm glad you delt with the person who said Hiei was stupid! *sticks tongue out at person* ^^
DemonLady1: I'm trying to update as fast as I can, promise. Jeez, you reviewers are so hard to please! ^^
EvenSong: Oh look! It's evil-label-girl! Hi Sara how ya doin'? Hope you've been getting more reviews!
Hiei's shadow: Yay! Someone liked the comedy! I tried to put some in to give the fic a lighter look, before the devastating stuff came in.fortunately or unfortunately it should be coming up soon. You even adore both of my couples! How wonderful!
Eclipse: Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Anime Lover: Glad you liked the bloopers. I read a fic somewhere that had them and I just had to try for myself. (
Kya: Wow you really wanted this chapter! But please don't kill me!( Just keep reviewing and you'll get all the chapters you want! (
Colleen: Another comedy lover! Too bad it might end soon.I'm not sure. I think I will have at least 15 chapters before I finish, but I'm not making any promises.
Songtress Lenne of Zarnarkand: Thanks for reading my story, especially if you had to go through burning eyes while reading it. Don't you just hate when that happens? And don't worry about it I love being weird too. ( Isn't it just grand? Make sure you review or the stuffed marshmallow aliens will come after you! Yeppers, I did sign your gb. There are not enough of anything with Hiei/Botan, may it be fanfics, websites, pictures, songs, or even the supporters. Never stop loving Hiei/Botan or the world will be doomed! From now on, would it be ok if I just called you Kasumi? It's a lot shorter!
Bloody Love: Thank ya! You liked my bloopers! I was wondering what you people would think of them! Since you insist, I will continue writing the bloopers. They are a bunch of fun to write. I encourage all of you to do them. You won't be disappointed!
LadySappire4: Thankies! Yeah I guess I am focusing more on non-central characters in this ficcy. They just happen to be my favorites! Glad you like it too!
Meiko M: Don't worry Meiko, I have no intention of stopping the fic. Vanilla is actually my third favorite too, only beaten by coffee, and chocolate chip cookie dough. Yummy! Love your reviews, even every chapter! One of my most loyal reviewers!
Skitzo-phrenick: I love writing bloopers! They are fun, in my opinion anyway! And they add humor! ^_^
Hiei4711: My pairings are a little odd, huh? At least I think they are.
Disclaimer: Check the last chapter, I'm tired of writing this. Aren't we all?
Chapter Dedication: I dedicate this chapter to all Hiei fans and/or supporters!
The Will of the Fighter
Chapter Five
The Note
******************************Botan
I smiled, relishing the feel of the warm sun on my skin. I closed my eyes in content, lying back on the beach towel. Shizuru lay beside me, both of us clad in our new bathing suits. The boys went off somewhere after lunch, which was about an hour ago.
" Hey Botan?" I heard Shizuru speak next to me.
" Hmm?"
" Do you think we should start looking for the guys now? We have to leave in an hour or so."
No! I was feeling lazy from the sun, and right now I wasn't too keen on searching for Hiei and Kurama when I could be basking in the warmth of the sun. Besides, they could take care of themselves right? And if the couldn't too bad!
" I guess." I heard myself mumble contrast to my inner thoughts.
I rolled over and stood up, picking my things up and placing them in a cotton bag, Shizuru doing the same.
" Do you know where they went?" I questioned her.
" Yeah, they said they were going into the forest. Probably to train", Shiz answered.
Turning in the direction of the forest, we headed to find the boys. (I know what most of you are thinking, a forest right next to a beach? Well, it could happen.) It took us a good fifteen minutes to get there. When we entered the forest I almost lost my flip-flop, and had already tripped multiple times. Those boys are dead! I don't care how much they want to train!
I stopped dead as I heard growling straight ahead of us. There were five, weak, third class demons, snarling like their lives depended on it. Normally, this would not be a problem, but seeing as I am not dressed for the occasion, it would be hard to move. Not to mention I have Shizuru with me. And no Hiei in sight. However it is my job as spirit detective to be rid of these despicable creatures.
I took I fighting stance, and Shizuru followed. I knew that Kuwabara learned all his street fighting from Shizuru.
" Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The largest of them asked, giving us an evil grinned. I am guessing he is the leader because of his size.
" Two mortal girls, can we play with them?" His second in command asked.
" If you don't leave now, I can't promise you will stay alive much longer," I said in a cold voice that had Shizuru surprised. Gone were all my bubbly cheer and happy nonsense, left with only a cold warrior ready for battle.
" Like you could do anything to us," the leader replied in the all too familiar I-am-a-superior-demon-and-you-are-dirt voice.
" I can do more than you imagine," I said smirking. I could tell they were disturbed by my behavior, including Shizuru.
" She's bluffing!" The leader cried out. In his fury he began an all out run and tried to pummel me with his claws. Mistake number one.
I easily pushed Shizuru out of harms way and pointed my index finger at the foolish demon, a blue glow surrounding it. I decided to use my spirit energy so I didn't have to more less I slip and fall because of my shoes. Just before he reached me, I sent the blast forward, cutting through his middle.
" Spirit Gun!"
************************ Hiei
I suddenly tensed up in my tree, and saw Kurama doing the same below me. I sensed Botan's spirit energy rise before I saw a bright blue light, then a loud bang, and then smoke. I used my jagan to tap into her mind to find their whereabouts.
" What the heck was that? It felt like Botan," Kurama asked looking at me, as if asking for an explanation.
" Let's just say that Botan has more skills than you thought. Now hurry, Botan and Shizuru are this way!" I yelled, not giving him a chance to reply before my figure blurred from sight.
*************************** Botan
Shizuru gasped a meter away from me. I winced. She was going to want one hell of an explanation after this one! The demon fell to the floor, dead as a doorknob. His friends' eyes widened in surprise. I could tell they were not expecting that.
" This is what will happen if you do not leave-" I was cut off as the enemy demons rushed forward giving me no head. I sighed mentally. Mistake number two. At least they were loyal. Stupid. Foolish. But loyal just the same.
I glanced at Shizuru.
" You up for a fight?"
" I was waiting for you to ask," She replied, cracking her knuckles.
" Blue Crusher!" I yelled, aiming at the second in command. The swirling blue beam (if you want to know what this looks like just picture Biyomon's spiral twister except blue) erupted from my finger. This time not even a body was left from the blast.
I curled my fingers into a fist, punching a demon square in the face, knocking him into unconsciousness. I turned in time to see Shizuru plant a rather hard kick in the center of one of the two demons that were upon her. She then grabbed a discarded tree branch and whacked him on the head.
I rubbed my hands together, as if brushing them off. I froze once more to feel two more, much more powerful kids. I relaxed when I recognized it to be Hiei and Kurama. Hiei and I shared a look. Shizuru had a first hand glimpse of my power, and Hiei's look proved that Kurama had felt it also. I looked up into their faces somewhat timidly and saw them glaring at me that said one word. Spill.
I somehow found myself at a loss for words. Luckily, Hiei, not for the first time, came to my rescue.
" I know you are confused and have a lot of questions right now, but can it wait until we get back to the apartment? We promise to answer all of your questions as best as we can when we get back"
They nodded, giving us a skeptic glance.
*******************************Hiei
The four of us piled onto the comfortable sofas and couches in the living room. Botan was looking around nervously, Kurama and Shizuru went to make hot chocolate, and I stared at the fire.
Shiz and Kurama came out with steaming cups of hot chocolate, handing us one each, and marshmallows on the center table.
" Where should we begin?" I asked, trying to think back to the previous months.
" How about we start where Botan got those powers, and why you know all this and we don't," Shiz said glaring at both of us. We visibly winced under her stare. Great, this was going well.
" Three months ago, Koenma suddenly found the need to get another spirit detective, and forced the job on me. He told me I would get my first mission in a month, and to be ready. To this day, I have no clue as to why he made me of all people a spirit detective. It didn't make any sense. All I knew then was I had to get stronger or I would die. So I went to Hiei and somehow I convinced him to train me", she managed a small smile at me, " that was the start of our friendship. The next day I knew why Yusuke was always cursing Genkai, they are unmerciful in training. I wonder who trains harder, Hiei or Genkai, they can't be that far apart."
I 'hn'ed in the corner and glared at her.
" Well, it's true!" Botan glared right back.
" Anyway, Hiei trained me and he accompanied me on my first mission. Come to think of it, he went on all my missions with me. We thought it best not to tell anyone because they might get the wrong idea and we would never hear the end of it. I'm not working on a mission right now so don't ask. Besides that, any questions?"
" So let me get this straight, you are a spirit detective," Botan nodded ," and you trained her," I nodded," so I am the only not trained person for fighting here?!"
" That explains the sudden closeness and the human body. What attacks do you have?" Kurama asked.
I spoke up.
" I can answer that. Botan can use the spirit gun and blue crusher, which she used today. We are still working on others."
" And what missions have you been on?"
" Well, I guess there was about four of them, basically just taking down certain demon teams that were causing trouble, or blowing secret bases up. Makes us sound like terrorists if you ask me," Botan replied with a giggle.
Shizuru raised an eyebrow.
" You do know that you will have to train me now too? I will not be the only one on our team that cannot help fight!" Shizuru exclaimed.
" That's not true! Keiko and Yukina don't fight either!" Botan quickly disagreed.
" They don't want to fight! And I was born a fighter, like my brother! I should have the same power he has right?"
I nodded.
" Kurama and I can train you tomorrow, if you wish."
" No! Not Hiei! Not again! He's a killer when it comes to this stuff!" Botan screamed with dismay.
" Botan, if you think I'm bad, try Kurama! He's much worse than me! I have my pride to stop me but that doesn't work for Kurama!"
Botan and Shizuru shrunk in their seats. Tomorrow was going to be hell.
************************* Botan
I was in the bathroom, getting dressed in my nightshirt and brushing my teeth. God, Hiei is going to kill me tomorrow in training, I know it! At least I'll get stronger and I'll learn more attacks. I tried to look at the bright side. And you won't be able to walk for a week! At least Shizuru would be there. Kurama was supposedly worse than Hiei, which had to be terrifying. Hiei sometimes would talk about the training Kuwabara went through before the dark tournament to make me feel better. What he had to say about Kurama's training was one hundred times worse than Hiei, plush some. While Hiei only used a sturdy branch as his weapon, Kurama went all out with the rose whip, thorns and all. If we were getting trained, I was sticking with Hiei!
I heard Shizuru scream and glass brake. I spit into the sink and ran out the door. Shizuru was lying on the bed, pillow raised, prepared to hit any intruder who dare enter. The curtains blew freely in the wind, the shattered remains of the window on the floor. I noticed I brick lying on the glass. I picked it up and found a not attached to the other side. It read: I am coming for you, spirit detective. How creepy. Who could have wrote this? Anyone who might have seen us on our missions were killed. Um maybe one of the gang was trying to play a prank? I immediately shook my head. This is not their idea of a prank. They would never go as far as to break a window and not take a picture of our surprised faces.
Until an hour ago, only Hiei knew I was a spirit detective, Shiz and Kurama promised not to tell anyone. Maybe someone from one of my missions were following orders from someone else and taped it, like Sakyo. I tried hard but couldn't think of anything else. Wait, what about that guy I met in the streets. He knew I was a spirit detective and he seemed really strong. What if he had friends? Oh no, not good. Calm down Botan, nothing is going to happen.
I grabbed a dustpan and broom to clean the broken glass shards that remained on the floor. Shizuru had the phone and was calling a glass company to fix the window.
" Okay I called and they said the earliest they could be here is ten in the morning. That's good because training starts at twelve thirty so that should give them enough time." Shizuru said, plopping on her bed once more.
I dumped the glass into the trash the lay down on my own bed, thinking.
" Shizuru I don't think we should tell Hiei and Kurama about the window or note. They would just worry, make us train harder, never leave us, and act as a thorn in our butts!" I exclaimed even though part of me wanted very much to tell Hiei. I knew he would protect me and that made me happy to think that no matter what he would always be there to help me. But he would make both of us train harder, in hopes that we can defeat this new foe or never leave us to ourselves. It didn't appeal to me of being followed constantly around by anyone, even if it was Hiei of Kurama.
" You're right, it would serve no purpose to get them involved, when this could be someone's idea as a trick or something. It could be a lucky guess that they said spirit detective, or maybe they heard one of us say it. It is Yusuke's nickname. It wouldn't be right to make them worry over nothing. So far we have no proof that this isn't just some work of a jokester. It could be someone from school for all we know!" Shizuru agreed.
" However it would do us good to be constantly aware until we get to the bottom of this."
Neither of us was quick to fall asleep that night. Something we both knew we would pay for in the morning. Whenever we almost drifted into sleep we would remember the letter. The blowing wind was a constant reminder of what had happened. Somewhere in the night both of us passed out of exhaustion.
*******************************
Ok there was the fifth chapter! I hope you all liked it. The truth is out, well at least to two more people, anyway. It's a start! So we finally start to see part of the major plot of the story. Was it that guy way back in chapter two or that weird guy Koenma was talking about? I'm so happy! I met my goal of fifty reviewers. Before I continue I hope to get seventy-five reviews! Please? Make me happy?! Free to all couples, not yaoi or yuri(boy/boy or girl/girl). Also free to suggestions!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Bloopers^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(different pov here)
Hiei suddenly tensed up in his tree, and saw Kurama doing the same below him. He sensed Botan's spirit energy rise before he saw a bright blue light, then a loud bang, and then smoke. Hiei used his jagan to tap into her mind to find their whereabouts. He wasn't paying attention to anything else but Botan, so he started to slip off the tree.
" What the heck was that? It felt like-Hiei!," Kurama asked looking at Hiei who had just fell from the tree and started laughing.
"C-cu-cut!" He managed to say before he lost it completely.
" OW!" Hiei said,"That's it! From now on I need a tree free contract!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Shizuru was lying on the bed with swirly eyes from where the brick had hit her.
" Shiz! Are you alright?"
" Botan, call the doctor!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It read: Pick you up at 7:00, Sunday. xoxoxo~Kurama
" Shizuru! What's this!" Botan exclaimed after reading the note.
" Oh that's just the not Kurama gave me for our date-" Shizuru started but then realized what she was about to say and blushed.
Hiei walked in seeing that the two were not saying the right lines.
" What happened?"
" We got the wrong note. Instead we got Kurama's letter to Shizuru about their date," Botan said, grinning at Shizuru, while her blush darkens.
Kurama then walks in.
" What's going-" Hiei handed him the note. Kurama blushed and ran out of the room followed closely by Shizuru.
Botan and Hiei follow.
" Hey I want details!" Botan yelled as she ran after them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I grabbed a dustpan and broom to clean the broken glass shards that remained on the floor. Shizuru had the phone and was calling a glass company to fix the window.
" Okay I called and they said the earliest they could be here is ten in the morning. That's good because training starts at twelve thirty so that should give them enough time." Shizuru said, plopping on her bed once more.
I dumped the glass into the trash the lay down on my own bed, thinking.
" Shizuru I don't think we should tell Hiei and Kurama about the window or note. They would just worry, make us train harder, never leave us, and act as a thorn in our butts!" I exclaimed even though part of me wanted very much to tell Hiei. I knew he would protect me and that made me happy to think that no matter what he would always be there to help me. But he would make both of us train harder, in hopes that we can defeat this new foe or never leave us to ourselves. It didn't appeal to me of being followed constantly around by anyone, even if it was Hiei of Kurama.
" You're right, it would serve no purpose to get them involved, when this could be someone's idea as a trick or something. It could be a lucky guess that they said spirit detective, or maybe they heard one of us say it. It is Yusuke's nickname. It wouldn't be right to make them worry over nothing. So far we have no proof that this isn't just some work of a jokester. It could be someone from school for all we know!" Shizuru agreed.
" However it would do us good to be constantly aware until we get to the bottom of this."
Neither of us was quick to fall asleep that night. Something we both knew we would pay for in the morning. Whenever we almost drifted into sleep we would remember the letter. The blowing wind was a constant reminder of what had happened. Somewhere in the night both of us passed out of exhaustion.

Hiei suddenly tensed up in his tree, and saw Kurama doing the same below him. He sensed Botan's spirit energy rise before he saw a bright blue light, then a loud bang, and then smoke. Hiei used his jagan to tap into her mind to find their whereabouts. He wasn't paying attention to anything else but Botan, so he started to slip off the tree.
" What the heck was that? It felt like-Hiei!," Kurama asked looking at Hiei who had just fell from the tree and started laughing.
"C-cu-cut!" He managed to say before he lost it completely.
" OW!" Hiei said,"That's it! From now on I need a tree free contract!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Shizuru was lying on the bed with swirly eyes from where the brick had hit her.
" Shiz! Are you alright?"
" Botan, call the doctor!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It read: Pick you up at 7:00, Sunday. xoxoxo~Kurama
" Shizuru! What's this!" Botan exclaimed after reading the note.
" Oh that's just the not Kurama gave me for our date-" Shizuru started but then realized what she was about to say and blushed.
Hiei walked in seeing that the two were not saying the right lines.
" What happened?"
" We got the wrong note. Instead we got Kurama's letter to Shizuru about their date," Botan said, grinning at Shizuru, while her blush darkens.
Kurama then walks in.
" What's going-" Hiei handed him the note. Kurama blushed and ran out of the room followed closely by Shizuru.
Botan and Hiei follow.
" Hey I want details!" Botan yelled as she ran after them.
