Chapter Dedication: To all Hiei/Botan supporters!
To my reviewers:
DemonLady1: Another blooper fan, don't cha just luv em'? Hope you like this chapter and sorry for the long wait.
Jagan: Never missed a chapter yet. Keep that record going and thanks for liking my bloopers!
Natsumi: I didn't get in to the mushy stuff yet, but I'm glad you still like it. You haven't seen much of the real plot, actually. This fanfic should develop into something most of you won't expect. At least I think you won't^^.
smile33happy6: Nope, I'm stubborn, I was gonna wait till I got 75 reviews. Most of the time I don't even start until I reach my goal of reviews. My real goal is to reach over 130 reviews. Until them I'm going to be persistent.^^
Sarah: Yeah remember when Kurama and Hiei trained Kuwabara for the DT? They said Kurama was harder because he didn't let his pride stop him or something like that. Though Hiei is kinds tough too...Here I'll give you something better. At the top of ff.net there is that blue toolbar. On it you will see the word find. Click on it, it should be available to all people, members or not. You can look the story up by title or by pen name(Goten0040). Other stories you might want to check out Dorm Room and The Darkness Within. Both are really good.
Botan Fan: I'm trying believe me. I have other fanfics I want to write but I have a problem that I can only write one story at once. So far it seems that there will be like 20 chapters in all.
Hiei4711: Thank you!!! You are far too kind!! I know there hasn't been much yet, but starting now there will be more and more so don't stop reading.^^
Meiko M: Hiya! Yeah Hiei really does need a tree free contract doesn't he? I can't tell how many times I've read about him falling off them! I'm just glad I could help and you now have your fics posted!
EvenSong: I know, I know need to respond faster but things have been hectic lately! And you write too fast! You took Hidden Star off?! How could you?! Shame, shame, shame on you too! I'm glad everyone are liking the bloopers, I can't believe they were such a big hit. Almost everyone mentioned them. Yep this is going to be one long fic...
Anime Lover: Did I ever tell you reviewers how hard it was to please you guys? At least it shows me you like my fic, so I'll throw more effort into updating faster, ok?^^
Muerte89: Thanks and trying!
Hiei's Shadow: Yeah I love the bloopers too! I still laugh at them even if I did write them^^ For me, it's a tie between the first and last. I usually update after I get my goal of reviews, about one or two days later, incase you were wondering.
Kasumi: Don't worry, I love it when Shizuru kicks butt! It may be the reason she is my second favorite girl in the series. That's the reason for this chapter basically, with a little romance and the scary people thing. This chapter everyone gonna have their fair share of butt kicking! Hee hee, on my things-to-do list, destroy the world, save ice cream, eat ice cream, eat more ice cream, get fat^^
Bloody Love: Jeez, these bloopers really were a big hit! Wow, they've become really popular. You like the same bloopers I do! I ran out of ideas after the first one, which is pretty sad, I'm surprised the last one came out so good. I wanted to at least have three^^
Skitzo-phrenick: I have no clue who threw the brick through the window, use your imagination^^ Reviewer #75, thank you very much! You made continuing possible. Everyone, should thank you!

The Will of the Fighter
Chapter Six
A Day of Training
*********************** Botan
" Botan, where are we?"
" Uh.somewhere near Genkai's temple?" It came out more like a question then an answer.
" So in other words, you have no clue?"
" Nope!" I said in my normal cheery voice. I never was good at directions anyway. Shizuru just sighed.
" I knew I should have taken the map with me! I thought Hiei said that we were training where you used to!" Shizuru said.
" He did."
" Then why don't you know where we are?"
" Because the first day I met Hiei on the way. He said I was walking too slow so he offered me a ride. I was so tired I accepted at once. I climbed on his back and I kinda fell asleep. After that it became some kind of routine. I would never really wake up until we reached the training area," I said sheepishly. I knew I was blushing at the end.
It was the truth. Eventually Hiei would meet outside of my apartment to wait for me, I would be half asleep, fall back asleep on his shoulder, and wake up for training. It didn't seem like we were doing something special. Only know do I realize how people could take this the wrong way. And it was a pretty open thing for Hiei to do, even if he had another reason.
" He offered you a ride the first day?!" Shizuru asked somewhat amazed at my confession and I felt my face gain a few more layers of red.
" He already knew me for awhile at that point and only did it at first to get it over with!" I tried to defend myself for some unknown reason.
" Sure, sure, whatever you say Botan," Shizuru smiled, " but that doesn't help our situation. Got any ideas?"
I thought for a minute. What could I do to get us at the training place. Let's see before I would always use Hiei so now how do I get Hiei? Got it!
" Ok I have an idea!"
" Really, let's hear it!"
" HIEI!"
**************************Hiei
" They're late"
Figures. Botan probably said she knew where to go and Shizuru forgot the map and now they're lost somewhere.(He's good) She never was much of a navigator. I looked around at our normal training ground. I wide field, bordered with trees and a like a little less than a mile south. In the field were a few large rocks that could be used for numerous things.
" So when are we going to go search for them?" Kurama asked.
He was obviously new to this.
" We wait for a signal," I said as if that was the dumbest question in the world. Botan always found some way to get into trouble, whether she liked it or not. It was like it was drawn to her somehow. And trouble is easily noticed.
Kurama still looked confused.
" What kind of signal?"
" HIEI!" The ear-piercing voice swept through Genkai's land and probably the closest town too.
" That kind of signal"
Kurama raised an eyebrow at me.
" You've done this before haven't you?"
" More than once"
I turned to the direction the voice came from. I sighed. The complete opposite of where we were supposed to meet.
" Come on, I think she's that way"
I pointed and ran in my demon speed to the girls' location, with Kurama following.
*************************** Botan
" That's your bright idea?" Shizuru asked once again.
" Hey they're demons aren't they? And I know for a fact that Hiei heard that!" I said.
" This has happened before?"
" Hey! You know directions was never my strong suit!" I exclaimed. Everyone was bad at something, right?
" Of course I know! After your 'short cut' at the dark tournament everyone knew!" Shizuru replied.
" It wasn't that bad!"
" Ha! My brother saved us! It was that bad!" Ouch. That hurt. Even Kuwabara was better at directions.maybe I was hopeless.
I heard a rustle in a nearby bush and Hiei's head popped out. Thank god! He saved me again.
" You see! I told you he would hear!" I smiled at him.
" Yeah we heard it, along with Koenma back in Rekai!" Kurama had come out beside Hiei.
I blushed a little from embarrassment. Ok, so I was a little loud, so what!
" Can we just move on to the training?" Hiei asked. I saw my escape.
" Yeah! But only if I get a ride!" I smiled at Hiei again. He eyed me.
" You are becoming lazy," Hiei said, but nonetheless crouched down for me to get on, which I did happily.
Shizuru looked at Kurama and began pouting. Kurama saw where this was going.
" No, no and no!"
" Please?"
" No!"
" Why not?"
" This is your first day of training, I think it would be wise if you worked a little."
Shizuru pointed at me.
" But she graduated and she still gets a ride! I want one too!
" Umm.no!"
" What, you so out of shape that you can't even carry me? I'm not that heavy Kurama."
If all else fails we can still hit them in the ego.
Kurama looked at us, then back at Shizuru and sighed.
" Fine, but this is the last time." ***************************Hiei
" Hiei!" Botan yelled as she fell, once again, on her bottom.
" If you don't loosen up, you'll never hit me! We've been over this!" I yelled back.
She grumbled and stood up taking a fighting stance once again, still as tense as ever. She was going to have to learn this the hard way. Botan ran at me, fist outstretched to connect with my face. I hope Kurama was having better luck than I was. I grabbed her fist, placed my foot behind hers, catching her off balance, holding onto my hand for dear life. I let myself be pulled down by her weight, and landed on top of her. She gasped on the contact.
" You're never going to hit anything like this, relax", I ordered. Botan controlled her breathing to a slower pace and relaxed a little. Not enough. I leaned my head closer to hers, she tensed further in response.
" Relax", I ordered softly as I pressed my lips gently but firmly against hers. My mind was screaming a millions things at me, but I ignored them all. It felt right, and that's all I cared about at that moment.
She relaxed immediately, but I pulled away before this could go any further.
" Like that", I said and got up leaving, her stunned. I still had things to sort out. She had recently stirred something inside me. It scared me for I didn't know what it was. Lately, I was wondering what exactly I thought of her. It scared me that she didn't return the feelings, but even more if she did. Later, I told myself, I'll think about this later.
I stretched my hand out to her to help her up, after a few seconds she took it and turned to watch Kurama and Shizuru spar, both of us acting like it never happened.
*************************** Botan
*Slash*
*Whoop*
A sword and spikey, green whip clashed over and over again. So fast were they, that to the normal ningen eye they would only be brief flashes of red and black. They clashed weapons once more before stopping completely, revealing to be both men, of teen age. Sweat poured down their faces, ragged gasps coming from their mouths. The red head spoke first.
" You're going down"
" Never", Hiei said through gritted teeth.
" How long has this been going on?" Shiz asked more to herself than me.
" A good half hour I'd say," I said.
My lord, I thought we were supposed to be learning something today. Now both Hiei and Kurama were in the battle of the ego's and Shiz and I are left to sit and watch. I yawned. We only trained the rest of the morning and then had lunch. And then this started, don't ask me how, I don't really know. Anyway, good exercise for them and good rest for me.
I watched through one eye as they charged each other again. Man, they were really getting into this fight. But it had to end soon. I looked back at Shizuru.
" You want to do the honors?" I questioned her.
" Sure", Shizuru smiled.
We had been practicing all morning and Shizuru was really coming along. Much faster than I was. Then again she was always the no-shit-let-me- kick-your-ass type of girl, where I had to learn that as well. As far as I could tell, Shiz had just as much talent for fighting as her brother, and definitely more brains. She could use the spirit gun just as well as I, which is good for one no two hours.
Shiz picked herself off the floor and extended her index finger. In a blast of red light she sent it towards the boys. Her aim was right on, is passed through the small area between them, diverting their attention to us. I stood up also.
" Finally, I thought you two would never stop!" I exclaimed and stuck my finger at him for emphasis.
" That was cheap," Hiei said.
" Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it!" Shiz said.
Hiei and Kurama narrowed their eyes.
" Now that we're warmed up, I think we can teach them a thing or two", Kurama said smiling devilishly.
Oh crap, why do I have a bad feeling about this?
" Kurama, I have always loved how you think. I'll take Botan," Hiei said, a smirk forming on his face. Kurama nodded.
Shiz and I turned to each other in unison.
" Oh shit!" I screamed as Hiei charged me. I turned on my heel and ran as fast as I could. Not that it did me any good. Hiei was in front of me in a flash, literally.
" What did I tell you about turning your back on your opponent?" He asked mockingly.
" Guess I forgot, it's been a long time," I replied.
" Maybe I should refresh your memory!"
He didn't bother using his sword, he didn't need it. I tried to think, but nothing would come to me. So I did the only thing I could think of.
" Blue Crusher!"
Ok, that was stupid. Yeah, like it would actually hit him. Words could not describe how I felt when he stepped into the same spot my energy blast hit seconds later. He fell landing roughly on his butt, a surprised look plastered on his face. Who says Yusuke is the only lucky one. Or maybe somewhere in my mind I knew he was going to move there? Did I know him that well? Was that just luck? Ah never mind this whole thing is two damn confusing.
Using the time I had I looked around for Shizuru, only to find her holding her own against Kurama, in hand-to-hand combat. Clearly Kurama was holding back, but who cares? Before Hiei had a chance to react, I shot a spirit gun at the unsuspecting target and hit him in full.
Kurama glared at me as I started to laugh. Shiz soon joined in.
" Oh, we got you that time!" I said trying to suppress the giggles.
" Pure luck", Hiei grunted.
" You should know, it's the second time you've been beaten by it!"
Hiei and Kurama just glared, as we laughed harder.
I returned to my backpack and sipped my water, watching as the others did the same. Hiei and Kurama were obviously not over losing, as they were moping around like babies. I smiled at their behavior. Suddenly I felt another presence behind me. I whipped around to come face to face with Koenma.
" Botan" His voice was so cold, and to think I haven't seen the jerk in months! How could I ever have had a crush on him?!
" Koenma", I said voice equally cold.
**************************Koenma
I was surprised, though I hid it well. Since when did Botan become so cold? I guess Botan learned more off Hiei than just fighting. This angered me to no end, but I suppressed it. It was better this way, I kept chanting to myself.
" I have a new case for you," I said handing her an envelope. She took it, waiting till later to open it and read its contents.
" You should take your friends with you, this should prove as a challenge for you. There is no due date so don't rush, but don't get lazy either."
With that I turned around and my body became transparent and started to fade away, leaving Botan to glare at my back.
************************
Whew! That took a long time to write. I even went back to add that romance scene, hope you're all satisfied. It's not so deep yet, because all of them are not sure that the feeling is love. So you're gonna hafta hold on and wait longer. Sorry, I just don't want to rush it, it would not be true love if I did. I've given up mostly on the couples for I hardly got any requests so I guess you are happy with the couples so far. I think I'm going to add more of the rest of the gang, Yusuke, Yukina, Keiko, yeah you remember them? I want 90 reviews before continuing, and I will wait! If you leave your email address I will email you when I update my fanfic, unless you say otherwise. Just thought I'd tell you.
Recommendation Fic: While you wait for me to wait, check out Dorm Room by Bandana. The cast is in colledge and don't know each other at first. Botan waits until the last minute to get a dorm room, and there are no rooms left for girls. So she gets permission to stay in with the boys.but this has happened before and messed up a lot of things.I won't say anymore. Just read it, it's really good.
************************
Bloopers( the pov will be different here)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"HIEI! *cough cough*
" Botan you alright? Your voice sounds horrible!" Shizuru said, concerned for her friend.
" Yeah well you try yelling all morning and see where it gets you!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
" You want to do the honors?" Botan asked.
" Sure"
Shizuru pointed her index finger at the boys and fired her spirit gun. She misjudged the timing for it hit both Hiei and Kurama, smoke surrounding them. They emerged covered head to toe in soot, and glaring.
" Hey, I think my aim was good for two hours of practice, don't you?" Shizuru asked a little unnerved at the glares.
" Here, I'll give you more practice in running!" Kurama said as he and Hiei ran at her with their weapons.
" Oh shit!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sorry guys, I couldn't think of anything else. I'll try to get more in the next chapter.

Using the time I had I looked around for Shizuru, only to find her holding her own against Kurama, in hand-to-hand combat. Clearly Kurama was holding back, but who cares? Before Hiei had a chance to react, I shot a spirit gun at the unsuspecting target and hit him in full.
Kurama glared at me as I started to laugh. Shiz soon joined in.
" Oh, we got you that time!" I said trying to suppress the giggles.
" Pure luck", Hiei grunted.
" You should know, it's the second time you've been beaten by it!"
Hiei and Kurama just glared, as we laughed harder.
I returned to my backpack and sipped my water, watching as the others did the same. Hiei and Kurama were obviously not over losing, as they were moping around like babies. I smiled at their behavior. Suddenly I felt another presence behind me. I whipped around to come face to face with Koenma.
" Botan" His voice was so cold, and to think I haven't seen the jerk in months! How could I ever have had a crush on him?!
" Koenma", I said voice equally cold.
**************************Koenma
I was surprised, though I hid it well. Since when did Botan become so cold? I guess Botan learned more off Hiei than just fighting. This angered me to no end, but I suppressed it. It was better this way, I kept chanting to myself.
" I have a new case for you," I said handing her an envelope. She took it, waiting till later to open it and read its contents.
" You should take your friends with you, this should prove as a challenge for you. There is no due date so don't rush, but don't get lazy either."
With that I turned around and my body became transparent and started to fade away, leaving Botan to glare at my back.

Whew! That took a long time to write. I even went back to add that romance scene, hope you're all satisfied. It's not so deep yet, because all of them are not sure that the feeling is love. So you're gonna hafta hold on and wait longer. Sorry, I just don't want to rush it, it would not be true love if I did. I've given up mostly on the couples for I hardly got any requests so I guess you are happy with the couples so far. I think I'm going to add more of the rest of the gang, Yusuke, Yukina, Keiko, yeah you remember them? I want 90 reviews before continuing, and I will wait! If you leave your email address I will email you when I update my fanfic, unless you say otherwise. Just thought I'd tell you.
Recommendation Fic: While you wait for me to wait, check out Dorm Room by Bandana. The cast is in colledge and don't know each other at first. Botan waits until the last minute to get a dorm room, and there are no rooms left for girls. So she gets permission to stay in with the boys.but this has happened before and messed up a lot of things.I won't say anymore. Just read it, it's really good.

Bloopers( the pov will be different here)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"HIEI! *cough cough*
" Botan you alright? Your voice sounds horrible!" Shizuru said, concerned for her friend.
" Yeah well you try yelling all morning and see where it gets you!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
" You want to do the honors?" Botan asked.
" Sure"
Shizuru pointed her index finger at the boys and fired her spirit gun. She misjudged the timing for it hit both Hiei and Kurama, smoke surrounding them. They emerged covered head to toe in soot, and glaring.
" Hey, I think my aim was good for two hours of practice, don't you?" Shizuru asked a little unnerved at the glares.
" Here, I'll give you more practice in running!" Kurama said as he and Hiei ran at her with their weapons.
" Oh shit!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sorry guys, I couldn't think of anything else. I'll try to get more in the next chapter.
