Review Responses:
Sara- My lovely editor twin, first to review so I'm writing to you first. Of coarse I send the fic to you first so you have a clear advantage over everyone else, heheheheh but I'll get to them later! Soooooo how's school? I have the S.S. teacher from h-e-l-l and the most boring math teacher of the century! My English teacher's hyper active, my Spanish teacher is probably the most normal and bearable of them all…but I hate Spanish. Oh and my Science teacher is out for two months while he gets surgery…but anyway. Did I tell you I sprained my ankle at the last soccer tournament a week ago?! My coach wouldn't let me play in the games, and the tournament was in Virginia! A whole six-hour drive! It hurt! cries It still hasn't healed, but I got to skip soccer practice because of it, which is allowing me to type this so not all is horrible. Lol, we must chat again on aim! I must get going on the others, the bloodsucking humans (aka teachers grrr) have loaded us with hw! A math test tomorrow, and I had a S.S., English, Science, and Spanish today or yesterday! Live is cruel…. oh so very cruel…
Crystal Koneko- Hello! Wow you play tennis? I've always wanted to play, it looks so much fun! I bet I'd probably kill myself doing so but I can always dream…did you really think my last chapter was ok? I'm reading over it and not liking it one bit. Arg! Strange, I liked it when I wrote it…Heh heh enough of that. I love my dear reviewers who support even my crappiest chapters, my first one has two different perspectives, third and first I think. It's amazing people continued on from it. I would've been like this person doesn't even know how to write properly, onto the next fic! I really should change it, I wince every time I think of it. Thanks for reviewing!
Robin Autumn- Wow ever since I saw you're name I can't stop thinking you're Robin from Witch Hunter Robin. Have you ever heard of it? It's on adult swim at some ungodly hour that I can no longer watch because I'd be dead at school! Thank you for putting me on you favorites list! It means a lot to me. I'll try and keep the comedy coming without getting too ridiculous, it happens automatically when I get silly. Thank you and enjoy!
Chiqa- Sorry that was all for that chapter. I can't have anything rated R and I'm not very good at romantic scenes so it will come but not at this point. Sorry about that, maybe somewhere in this chapter I might sneak a little kiss in somewhere, maybe. I know a lot of the reviewers are pissed there hasn't been that much romance yet, but I believe Hiei and Botan would take longer to develop a relationship higher than friendship, sorry if I'm making you mad, I don't mean to. Uhm, here have a cookie! Thanks for the review, regardless.
Lysia1982- Thank you for your kind words in the review. I love you people! Here take this cookie! Gives cookie
Kg-rose- That was one awesome review! Heehee I love bloopers too, though most of mine aren't all that funny. Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to read all 12 chapters? Do you think I should shorten the length of a chapter and just make more chapters? I think that's what I might do, it literally takes me forever to write these things up! Lol you got me worried when you said it sounded cool, like you were going to say it totally sucked or something…that would have been bad. Well I got a new computer, which is good, but a pain because now I have to add all the words like Botan, Hiei, and Kurama that my computer doesn't like and thinks they are not words! Evil little thing! Heheheh, sorry about that little outburst, enjoy and please review again!
LadyWOlfBane- Never fear, I will never give up on this story, even if it takes me all of eternity! Which it probably will…but never mind that! Yes, I'm very good at suspense, aren't I? Seems that way at least, but don't worry it will get better! Sorry for the long wait, if I were you I would have shot me a long time ago, lol. So thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!
Prainflower- Thank you! I try my best but I know I take too long writing my chapters! It takes me like two months to write one, sometimes longer! I'm so pitiful and I'm extremely sorry for making you wait!
Authoress:MegaRose-I still can't believe I inspired a story! Yay! I know this chapter took several months…at least I got the last one out quickly, right? Wow, in your story Hiei's acting like a big jerk! I hope you set him straight! Actually, he reminds me of Koenma in this story! Botan and Hiei may still not "get together" in awhile, but especially in this and the next chapter, Botan and Hiei will grow much closer to each other. Both are starting to have deep feelings for each other, right now Botan more than Hiei in terms of realizing what it means, but both will get there! I promise it will be very sweet in the end! The sequel will be more romantic probably, just as a heads up! And don't worry about the spelling, that's my job! I'm grateful enough you review!
Dannie-chan-Your review made me burst out laughing! Thank you for yelling at the other people for not reviewing, you're awesome! I'm still laughing, god you're funny! As long as you do not give up on school I will not give up on this story! I know I hate school too. It sucks. Wow, you're a sophomore? I'm not that old, but out of curiosity, how old do you think I am? I know, pardon the long wait, I have no excuse for making you poor people wait like that heehee. Do you have an account, for some reason I can't remember you reviewing before…troubling…but anyway thanks for the review!(and making me laugh!) and enjoy!
LuneTigre- Sorry, I had to wait until I got all the reviews I set and it took me much longer than expected to write this chapter! I won't promise the next one will come out sooner because ironically they usually take longer when I do that. But thanks for reviewing and enjoy!
AnGeL BoRn N hell-Ah the mystery guy, we will find out soon who he is. I'll tell you he's a major character, but I haven't yet decided how important he will be aside from the few parts I've decided on. He's cool though, I think anyway. The Shiz/Kur romance is just a side pairing, but I'll keep it in mind to add more. Sorry but this chapter I think will focus solely on Botan and Hiei again. Also Ayame and Koenma will become important characters too, just a little hint. Lol, I know the bloopers are out of this world, I take anything that comes to mind, literally! I love your reviews! They're so fun to reply to! Oh, and I think you added me to your favorites list, thanks a bunch! Please r/r and enjoy!
Sekai-Thank you for reviewing! It's one of those determined, annoying things about me. Lol, I regularly do assign 15 reviews per chap, maybe I'm a little harsh on that…but anyway. Yeah, I got all the reviews so here's a brand new chapter dedicated to all you people! Lol, you'll be happy to know there are another 15 reviews before next chapter heehee!
MystiKoorime-A computer virus? That sucks! I just got a new computer which semi-sucks because I had to transfer all the files and I have to get used to how this new computer works and all. So I know what you're going through. Has it really been two months? I swear I'm getting de ja vu responding to these reviews! Did I do this one already?! Oh well, you don't mind if I did do you? Maybe because it's my second time reading it or something…I don't know. The last time I updated was 8/28/04 so yeah its been over two months! It's been four months almost! GAH! I better really type! Thanks for the review!
Kouki-Yay! Party! Lol, that has a nice ring to it! I don't think Hiei would very much like hosting a party…funny idea though! Someone should write about a party in Hiei's room! Thanks for the review.
Im me….i think- Sometimes I don't know if I'm me either lol. SPRINKLES! YES! I love sprinkles and caramel and fudge! Heh…randomness…uh thanks for the review!
Dedication-The 15 up people who got us past the 15 review obstacle! We love you!
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho! If I did I would be rich and I have like….15 dollars.
The Will of the FighterChapter 13
Ugly Pasts
-------Hiei-------
It was late at night now, according to the moon that was visible by the full window and drawn curtains, around two in the morning. Yet, I could not find sleep. Drowsiness seemed to not exist today, even if I had stayed up all day and not a minute of rest I doubted I could sleep anyway. It must be one of the curses of being a superior.
Unless I am training I am rarely ever tired, which is one of the reasons I train intensely, to get stronger, have peace of mind, reach my limits, all were a part of my vigorous routine. Today I hadn't trained at all, or done anything near difficult, so it was no wonder my body refused to succumb to sleep's spell. Ironic, the Darkness technique I have nearly mastered completely drains me to the point of unconsciousness to recuperate in hibernation, in often the worst times. Now I find myself fighting a losing battle until I finally recognize defeat and surrender to the land of dreams. Now, I found myself almost wishing for an anvil to drop onto my head.
My partner, who I had forced to take the bed, was not asleep either. I was dead bored, but I relaxed my body into a lazy pose, both of my hands behind my head, feet going off the other side of the couch, and my back propped up against a pillow.
" I know you are not asleep, what's wrong?" I asked, the boredom overwhelming me at last. If sleep will not come I could live without it.
" Nothing…" was the reply.
" Really now?"
" Well, I don't want to pry," Botan said slowly.
" What is it?" I snapped. She could just spit it out already!
" Hiei, what happened in your past?" she suddenly blurted out.
I froze and sighed, closing my eyes, but did not question why she wanted to know. She was sitting up now, her eyes gazing into mine. Her eyes seemed distraught for some reason, a conflict raging within them. Against my better judgment I gave her a reply.
" I grew up in Koorime until about five or so, demon years of course. I spent most of my time at that point with Yukina, my mother, (Hina) or sometimes my mother's best friend, Ruri. My mother never talked about my Father, but I didn't want to trouble her with asking a question that so obviously troubled her so much."
I didn't know why I was telling her all of this. Yeah, her eyes are troubled. Big deal! Yes, there was bound to be some trust between an apprentice, and a master, but not his whole life story! Even Kurama would not pry this deep, for fear of me pulling out my katana or getting quickly pissed. I am a fiercely secretive and distant from other beings. It's like a second nature to me to be alone and hack down anyone who annoys me. I never told anyone anything, aside from insults and mocks. Yet, here I was describing my childhood to an ex-grim reaper, because she asked! I will not go soft, my mind screamed. Being soft was a weakness I was never cursed with, even in my childhood, and I was forever grateful for that. Still why am I telling her? I decided to ponder later, but finish my description. So what if she knows, if she tells, or fails to keep her mouth shut, I'll kill her simple as that. The answer consoled me a little, but in the back of my mind I knew she was one of the few people I respected, and one of the fewer I would never lay a hand on.
" The village elders are an interesting topic. They hated me because I had fire demon blood in my veins. (In this story, Koorime had other males, but they were all 100 ice demons. Sorry, I know this clashes with the anime's ideals) the whole island was afraid of me, rumor had it that my father was of a very high class, and as a demon of fire, their most hated enemy. Eventually the people came around and began to act friendlier when I wouldn't hurt anybody. It was actually when I saved one of the daughters from a pack of demons that they truly accepted me.
xxxxxFlashbackxxxxxx ( Different Pov)
Two children stood a few feet from a pack of dangerous looking demons. Their figures were distorted, and looked nothing like a human, while the children could pass easily, if the girl's hair was not a cerulean shade of blue. The young girl had unusually dark blue eyes, while the boy had even more unique crimson eyes that made him look devilish and handsome already at his young age.
As the laughing ugly, demon pack jeered, and made threatening actions, clearly enjoying toying with the little ones. They showed off their razor sharp teeth, pointy fingernails, and brandished their weapons and took practice swings in the air, as if giving a preview of what was to become of them.
The little girl's hands were clasped in worry, lips quivered in fear, tears forming in her eyes, but she wouldn't allow them to fall. She was too proud for that. If she would die, she would die with her dignity. The boy however, had cold eyes and an emotionless face. He glared hard and the band of demons.
The demon gang was slightly unnerved and showed it by giving each other suspicious glances, but otherwise ignoring it. Who was this kid, completely unprotected, to act so at ease. Surely he knew, what was to become of him soon? It was an odd thing to be sure, but the evil gang knew they had the upper hand, and were only amused by the boy's reaction. The young boy knew he was in a tight position, but refused to let it show. He had heard his father was feared all over the demon world, at an age even younger than him, so if his father could accomplish such a title, why could not he? The jeers didn't bother him in the least, nor did the threats, as he grew up with them all his life. It wasn't his fault the people hated him, but he didn't care, he loved his mother and sister with all his heart, and Ruri was like an aunt to him as well.
As the gang got bored of simple threats and ran out of taunts to use, they crept forward slowly, for good measure, hoping the two children would flee. Chases were always more fun, especially when the escapers begged for their life after being successfully caught in the end.
The boy nudged the petrified girl behind him, thankful the girl complied to his unspoken request. He had never spoken to the girl before, but he had seen her on occasion. He had no doubt what terrible things her parents had told her of him, and he figured after this nothing would change between them, even if he did save her.
A single demon charged forward, opening the attack, trying to gain some respect from the other, stronger gang members, by eliminating this child. The boy with black hair was unspeakably fast though, and in a flash, had punched him in the gut three times, and landed an impressive blow to his face. The surprised demons fainted immediately after the last blow and slumped to the floor. The other members backed of in amazement, and a little fear tinged into their eyes.
The crimson-eyed boy was also in wonder. He had never known he had the ability to move so fast. He had always been able to out-run his sister, Yukina, when they playfully played tag, and sometimes purposely slowed his pace so she could catch him, but never that fast. Had this power come from his father? What would his mother think if she saw his speed? Would she hate him like all the others, or smile calmly like she knew he would inherit his speed. And never had he been in a fight before. His strength was also surprising. Never had he made a fist and punched anything before, not even a tree or wall in frustration. The sensation was new, and he liked it. It gave him a new sense of power, laced with hidden confusion in him, but he felt much more at ease.
A glimmer of light crossed his eyes, and he saw a polished sword lying on the ground next to its fallen wielder. Interest claimed him, and he examined the sword by picking it up and scrutinizing the item. He took two practice swings in the air, happy at how natural it felt in his hands. The gang was now frightened at this strange child and all charged together. The little girl gasped but did not run away. Instead she looked at the boy with admire and trust. The boy wasted no time in slaying the rest of the members, jumping and flipping his body to evade attacks, while landing each member a critical blow. It took his only one hit to crumble every member with his new weapon. He frowned as his prize was covered in blood after he was finished. The little girl stepped forward and giggled, smiling brightly.
" How did you do that?" she asked sweetly.
Hiei was confused. No one his age would talk to him, and he was unused to her voice high pitch laughter. So he remained quiet and looked at her weirdly.
" That was amazing," she said, as if it would explain everything.
" I'll tell my parents, and you will be a hero!" she exclaimed, " Your name's Hiei right?"
" Yeah," Hiei said dumbly, not used to making friends. Actually he had never made one, his sister being the only one to love him and play with him, and he could never remember a time when she wasn't there. (Well duh, they are twins!)
She grabbed his arm, and pulled him along to the village, as if he'd forgotten the way. Hiei flinched, not used to being touched, by strangers or anyone else, (once again excluding Yukina, Hina, and Ruri) nevertheless did not pull himself from her grasp and let her have her way.
XxxxxEnd Flashbackxxxxxxx
" The girl's family was one of high class, and were grateful to me for saving their daughter from doom. The girl however became infatuated with me and followed me everywhere. She told all of her friends about her rescue and soon the rest of the kids followed me as well. In a day I went from an outcast to a hero, groupies that followed me at all. If the girl heard anyone say a skeptic remark or badmouth me, she'd yell at him or her right away, even if they were older than her or parents. The girl practically demanded I be with her at all times. Today I would call her possessive. She was always hanging off my arm if I would allow her, always smiling at me and trying to make me laugh. What amazed me was how nice she could be to me and how mean she could be to others. Before she found out that Yukina was my twin sister, she despised her, now I know for how much affection I openly showed to her. Even after, the girl was always jealous of Yukina, but she never mentioned it, for she knew I loved my sister more than anything so she put up with it anyway."
I smirked wistfully. Those were the good moments of my life, things just went down from there. Taking note that my apprentice was taking in my description intently. As I was talking, she had come down from the bed and kneeled next to the couch, her eyes focused on my face. Her brows were scrunched up in concentration in remembering everything, almost like she was trying to memorize every exact word I said. She nodded and I took that as the signal to continue.
" Soon the elders found out how much popularity I was gaining. They didn't like how I was becoming idolized and praised, so they decided to take drastic measures. They claimed I was a monster, and demanded that I be thrown off a cliff. The people who once hated me, were now in an uproar, but the elders were like gods, they held all the power. They came quickly, so my mother wouldn't have time to find out about their plan. They knew of her dedication to me, they knew if she found out she would hide me until it was safe then escape with me when it was safe and run off together. If she had the chance, she probably would have taken off with me and left Yukina in Ruri's care, but like I said, she didn't have the chance. Yukina and I were sleeping, when my mother started yelling and crying, which woke us up with a start."
That is probably the reason today that I hate it when women cry. My mother was the most beautiful woman in the world, she tried to remain strong on the outside, and I knew she was hurting constantly on the inside. I never questioned my mother's love for me but I always thought secretly she would have had a better life had she never met my father, and never gave birth to me. My mother almost never cried in from of me, but I heard her crying nightly, when Yukina, and she thought me, were sleeping. That is the one noise that can actually break my heart. It was sickening how much she loved my father, and I grew to hate him for abandoning her. Instead I tried to always be strong for her, and never ever complained. I'd try to help her as much as I could, and keep Yukina happy at the same time.
" My mother had to be held down by five people, remarkable, for she was a small woman and not physically strong. Yukina was crying in Ruri's arms as the older demon tried to soothe her as best she could although it was no use. The little girl I had saved was being held back by her parents and was struggling viciously. I had the feeling if she got free she would have jumped off the cliff right after me. I think her parents thought so too, for they tightened their grips and tried to pull her away from the scene. She kept shouting something over and over but I can't remember what she said. Anyway, before I was thrown off, my mother somehow got to me, long enough to say she loved me and slip a necklace containing one of her tear gems around my neck before she was ripped away from me again and I was cast off the cliff."
Actually I remember what the girl had said but Botan didn't need to know that. It wasn't if it had mattered anyway. I saw Botan gasp and pain filled her eyes and tears formed. I scowled darkly, if she cried then that would be the end of the story. Why was she crying anyway? She didn't have to live through that and I hate sympathy. I glared at her and she froze.
" Shed one tear woman, and I'm ending this story now."
" I'm sorry. I know-I just don't see how anyone can be that cruel-especially to a little boy. I promise no more tears." She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and tried to smile, though it looked wobbly at best.
" But as you know, I lived. I was about seven (demon years) when I was thrown off. The sword I confiscated for the run in with the demon gang that altered my life so much was kept with me at all times. I grew attached to it and I practiced with it whenever I was bored and experimented with it. When a thief's band of demons found me at the bottom of the cliff they immediately wanted my mother's stone necklace that she had just managed to give me. I wasn't about to part with it. The leader picked me up and examined it while it was around my neck, and although I struggled he was far stronger than I was. I bit his finger as he fingered my necklace and he yelled in surprise, giving me the chance I needed to break away from him. It was then I remembered my sword, and I pulled it out and went into a defense stance. The leader laughed at my willingness to fight and offered I joined their gang. I figured it was worth a shot and I would probably die on my own anyway so I agreed. I never let anyone touch the stone though. That was mine and mine alone. They taught me to kill and steal with perfection, both which they said I had a knack for. They taught me advanced lessons to use with my sword and how to control my demon energy, which I had never used before. It wasn't a happy tale of a family though. Even though I was part of the gang, if I ever lost my usefulness I'd be killed or kicked out without a second thought. I learned to take care of myself and became a great deal colder. I picked up quite a vocabulary from the foul-mouthed thieves too. I learned very fast, too fast, because it became apparent how much more power I had then the rest of them, including he leader. At age ten I could already whip them all. Soon I was kicked out because the leader feared I would take over and didn't want to lose his position. After I wondered how my family was doing and I heard about the Jagan eye that would allow me to use my mind to see anything I wished. I wanted to have one implanted and I eventually found a demon that could help me, and so I had it implanted."
" Hiei, didn't you have anyone in the gang that you considered a friend?" Botan asked. It was the first time she had spoken.
" There was one, he was young like myself and also stronger than the rest. We sparred a lot and tested our skills against each other. He used a sword too, and we always competed in everything. Often if the gang leader had a mission, he would send us to complete one and use the rest of the gang to finish another."
Our gang was weak, most all C class demons, but as the saying goes there are strength in numbers, and we certainly had that. Over 200 other members were in the clan. Now that I think about it, the two of us were done before the rest. Pretty pitiful, huh? We were two of the youngest but at age 10 two little boys could show up over 200 older, more experienced demons. If our task were to steal a rare diamond or something we would both start in different areas, to attack at two separate areas, and to see who would be the first to reach the item. You could say it was a friendly rivalry we had. (Some of you may think I made a quotations mistake, but Hiei did not tell this to Botan!)
"It didn't bother us much when we were kicked out, we knew we were far superior and soon would have left either way. It was amusing to see our former leader so scared and untrusting, like we would kill him when he told us. Like we would kill him for control of that worthless gang," I scoffed.
By that time I was cruel and hard as a stone. My partner was my only friend, but I didn't care about that, he was an actual friend not some idiot. He had strength too, so much that it compared to mine. We were more than friends, rivals, allies, partners, and best friends. When I got the Jagan implanted, so did he. We supported and stuck by each other. We were so much alike it was scary….I wish I knew what happened to him…
------------Botan--------------
I didn't know why I couldn't fall asleep. Ok, well I did know, but wouldn't admit it. There was a hot fire demon sleeping four feet from where I was. I smacked myself, he was not hot! H-he was my…mentor of all things! I couldn't help but open my eyes to peek at him again though. He was so mysterious, and looked so irresistibly cute when sleeping. Ok, he was an attractive fire demon, but that doesn't mean anything right? And he was strong and dangerous, too! He creams me every time we spar, or train, it's amazing he hasn't killed me already for being weak. But…he never hurt me…and I can't help but feel protected and safe when he's around. And right now he's keeping me from my sleep!
His detached personality was alluring, and his mysteriousness was intriguing. I couldn't help but want to get to know him more. And I did, he was more or less my friend, practically closer than I was with Yusuke. He's probably been there for me more than anyone else in my life, and I hardly know a thing about him. It suddenly hit me that I don't really know anything about him. About his past, likes, dislikes(besides that he hates mostly everything, especially Kuwabara) pet peeves, anything. And shouldn't I? I was his apprentice after all! But even if I asked, he would never tell me, not even Kurama can get him to spill hardly anything. What chance does that give me? I looked at him again, trying to search his face for some of his secrets, but of coarse was sleeping. The poor guy was sleeping. So I settled down and tried to force myself to go back to sleep. Trying to find a comfortable position, I rolled back and forth every few minutes.
" I know you are not asleep, what's wrong?" My eyes shot open and I froze. He was awake the whole time?! What if he saw me looking at him?! Despite my fears and anxiety and kept my face calm. Now more then ever I wanted to ask him the question, but I bit my tongue to keep it down. Now was not the time!
"Nothing…," I managed to reply.
" Really?" He didn't sound convinced in the least.
"Well, I don't want to pry." Could he make it any harder? I don't want to ask him and then have him refuse to answer on the spot! I knew he didn't trust me, but to have him actually tell me would break my heart.
" What is it?" He snapped at me, and I saw annoyance plainly in his eyes.
" Hiei, what happened in your past?" I blurted out. Oh, god here it comes. The 'Do you really think I'm going to tell you that' or ' I can't trust anyone, your no exception' was coming. I sat up and looked at him, the emotions swirling in my eyes, but I didn't know what effect they would have. Hiei studied me carefully and then started to speak.
I felt my heart swell up when I heard his voice. I listened to his tale intently, determined to remember it for all time. I never noticed how relaxing his voice is. Hiei was a man of few and harsh words, and I was surprised at how well he could tell a story. Sometimes back in Rekai the girls and I would exchange stories, but his was far better then they ever were.
Sometime after he started his story, I got up and kneeled down to the couch to get closer to him. As I listened I realized some of the things that probably turned him into what he was now. Understanding and compassion flooded through me and I felt tears starting to come to my eyes. No wonder he is so cold, after his own people had treated him! Hiei glared coldly at me and I froze. I hate it when he glares at me like that, Hiei glares all the time, it could be his middle name, but sometimes he glares so coldly that I swear it could freeze the sun. That's the type of glare he is giving me now.
" Shed one tear woman, and I'm ending this story now."
" I'm sorry. I know-I just don't see how anyone can be that cruel-especially to a little boy. I promise no more tears." I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and tried to smile, my tears probably weren't helping I know he didn't appreciate it. So I tried to smile the best I could, wordlessly promising I wouldn't cry anymore. I was a little scared he would stop. His story was fascinating, and I found myself wishing he would tell me stories every night especially about his own past adventures.
As he continued, I felt myself get bolder at every word. I was extremely interested about his past as a beginner thief. According to Hiei, they were barley adequate but surely one of them had Hiei's respect. I waited patiently for an answer to my question, but it never came. I didn't want to push my luck by asking another question, but if he answered my first one, why not my second?
" Hiei, didn't you have anyone in the gang that you considered a friend?" I asked when he got to the chapter of the Jagan eye. I was surprised that Hiei had a friend like that before Kurama, but I was also thankful. If not for that person, how distant would Hiei be today? Scary thought. I used to think Hiei was untouchable and withdrawn, and he was, to a certain extent, but he would slowly begin to trust someone after time.
He trailed off at the end. I noticed he didn't mention how his past with his friend ended, but I didn't want to pry anymore. If he didn't want to tell me, I could wait. Maybe he would tell me on his own later. I was already immensely pleased with what he had told me. I was so happy that I knew things about him, things even that Kurama himself didn't know. I don't know why I was so happy about it, maybe it was just so unlike Hiei to open up to others. I didn't care. All that mattered to me was that I had part of his trust. So then, why was I so surprised when he asked me about mine?
Mwhahahahaha! I'm ending it there. Next time you will hear Botan's past and what happened. It will be much different, for Hiei's past I saw pictures on some website that gave me an idea of what happened, though I largely made up a great deal of his past. But I don't have any references for Botan, but I'm sure you won't be displeased. I'm skipping the recommendation this time and adding it to the next chapter! I'm pressed for time and I'm so sorry it's been about 4 months! Please pardon all the spelling mistakes, I didn't have time for my editor to check it, so it may be worse than usual.

" Hiei! I can't believe how handsome you looked while you were saving me!" The young Koorime girl exclaimed, latching herself onto Hiei's arm.
" That's it! Get off! You've been hanging onto me for days, don't you have a life or know how to shut up! God, if I knew you were this annoying I never would have saved you in the first place!"

The first gang member charged Hiei, but with one slash of his new sword, he was down. On the way to the second demon, Hiei tripped and hit the demon in the knee, causing him to fall as well. Unfortunately , all the demons were in a straight line and were not smart enough to get out of the way in time, so the domino effect went into motion.
The girl Hiei was protecting screamed and ran to Hiei and tried to help him up.
" Are you ok, Hiei!"
" God damn it! Get off me, get off, get off, get off!" Hiei smacked her hands away and got up himself. Looking at the damage the set was in he winced.
" That's the problem with doing all you own stunts."

Botan just couldn't get to sleep. Every few minutes, she'd toss and turn to try to find a comfortable position. It seems she rolled over a bit too much, for she rolled right off the bed.
"Ahhh! Crap that hurt!" Botan screamed as she hit the floor.
" Hahahaha! That has got to be the funniest thing I ever saw!" Hiei exclaimed.
" Oh shut up you jerk," Botan stuck her tongue out at him and threw a pillow at him. In return he threw one back at her.
" Yes! Party in Hiei's room part two!" Kurama shouted.
" Whoohoo! Hey how come we weren't in the chapter? Ow! It's on now!" Shiz exclaimed as she was hit from behind with a pillow.
