Botan x Hiei

LLLLLLLL

Smiling, Botan lay upon the open green grass, below the tree where a certain husband of hers dwelled since they had visited the park. Hiei, she could've sworn, was the reincarnation of either a chipmunk or a squirrel by the way he often hung out in the tree branches.

She hoped that their first-born would not try to do Hiei's weird yet lovable idiosyncrasies. She would not want to see herself a few years later yelling at her child and husband to both come down from their branches to go home. Though it did leave a cute image in her mind, Botan really did not want to have to do that.

Smoothing out her maternity dress of a soft blue, she rested a hand on her stomach. She wasn't showing much but she was showing enough for others to know she was pregnant. It was curious though that she was only about four to five months and she was showing by a somewhat increasing margin. She already felt like a watermelon for Koenma's sake! Yukina had assured her that the feeling was normal though she had remarked on the size of Botan's stomach.

For some reason, she really knew that it wasn't. Deep down, she was really scared about giving life to a being when she had such irony of having taken life as well. She could only hope the child would not be too much like her demon husband even if she did love him.

Noticing her contentment, Hiei fell down softly next to his wife. Her blue green hair splayed around her creating a euphoric beauty of etheralness that she often contained. Her closed eyes and easy breathing told him she was drifting off into a land of the possible within the impossible.

Raising her sleepy head to lay down on the truck, Hiei placed the blue haired human's head on his lap and began to softly brush her hair with his fingers. Lately, the urge to ravish her lay low even for him.

He chalked his lowered sex drive due to Botan being pregnant but he knew that it was a possibility of many things. Botan and he had decided to marry in Renkai terms so that she would be satisfied that the child would be born within her type of wedlock and his.

Just the same, Botan's sex drive went below zero, though he heard from Yusuke about Yukina's sex drive going almost so extreme that Kuwabara had lived with Keiko and him for a few nights out of weariness. Botan had enough complications wearing her down with keeping food down, super senses and the fact that she was often craving some sort of food he'd never even heard of.

He was often using his Jagan eye nowadays to keep in constant contact with either Yusuke or Kurama.

He was truly wedded to his wife so he knew that she could never sever her ties with him. He sighed, seeming to relax fully, purring at the softness of his bride's hair.

"You know what, woman? I believe wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed. I'm happy……….I'm really happy to be with you……" Whispering, Hiei gently placed a kiss on his wife's forehead, convinced she was sleeping deeply.

As he lay back, a smile so gently like that of a mewling kitten was left upon his wife's lips.
