Chapter Two


Before Botan was even able to go to bed, she had to convince Hiei that he could not fly off of the roof. He had tried to jump off singing "I Believe I Can Fly". When the tired ferry girl was finally able to get some sleep, it was only due to the fact that she had duct taped Hiei to the couch. The next morning, she woke to find what could only have been Hiei in the bed beside her. "I must be hallucinating," Botan mumbled groggily. But when she looked again, he was still there. She decided not to wake the sleeping fire demon and got out of bed. She grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she was finished, Hiei was awake but seemed to be finally experiencing his hangover. "Onna, how did I get here and what did you do to me!" he demanded. "Ididn't do anything. You were the one who drank twelve bottles of whiskey! Anyway you can thank Yusuke and Kuwabara for dumping your drunk self here last night!" Botan cried as she then went to the kitchen to make them both breakfast and to get Hiei some aspirin. ' He's probably in a lot of pain right now,' she thought. ' But it would serve him right for sneaking into my bed!' She grabbed a glass filled with water as she went to give Hiei the aspirin. "Here," she said as she handed him the pain killer. "You must have a headache. When you're feeling better, I'll get you some coffee." Hiei sort of growled his response. Botan was about to check on breakfast when Hiei asked, "What did I do while I was drunk?" ' Oh crap! I was afraid he'd ask. What do I tell him? "You were so drunk you lunged at me and said "I wuv you"? He'd kill me! Not to mention if Yusuke still has that -' Botan's thoughts came to a complete stop as something occurred to her. Yusuke had had a camcorder the night before. She groaned. "What is it, onna!" the fire koorime winced as he sat up. "Um... I just want to say, before you kill me kill Yusuke and please make my death as quick and painless as possible!" "Onna, what did I do?" Hiei growled. "If you don't tell me I'll read your mind." Botan could see that Hiei was not in the mood to handle bad news. Then again, he wasn't in the mood to be kept waiting either. "Well... you acted sort of like a child. You lunged at me, said something along the lines of "I wuv you", and tried to fly. Oh yeah, I failed to mention..." Botan hesitated here and went on at top speed hoping he wouldn't understand. "Yusukegotsomeofitontape!" Unfortunately, the ferry girl barely managed to escape a sword to the throat as Hiei thundered, " WHAT!" Botan cringed. ' This can't be good for my health!' she thought. She attempted to sneak away, but was stopped by the angry fire demon, who put his katana to her throat and demanded to know what Yusuke had caught on tape. Fortunately, she was saved by the smell of something burning. "Oh no! Our breakfast!" she cried. She pushed Hiei's katana away and ran into the kitchen with a horrified expression on her face. The ferry girl almost cried when she saw the flames engulf the food she had worked so hard to make. She sank to her knees as she watched the fire demon, who had followed her, put out the flames. "Stupid baka onna! What were you thinking!" Hiei scowled. Botan stood and glared. "I was busy thinking about a sword that a certain someone was holding to my neck!" Hiei's scowl deepened, but he didn't say anything. Botan frowned. Usually he would have uttered at least a dozen death threats by now. She looked him up and down. He seemed ok, but the ferry girl concluded it must be the hangover. She looked over his face trying to find some kind of clue as to what he was thinking. She paused at his eyes. She saw the frustration there, but nothing else. His eyes were like pools of fire and she found herself just staring at them. ' His eyes are...amazing. Wow. How come I never noticed how pretty they are before?' "What do you want, onna?" Hiei's voice brought her out of her thoughts. It was then she realized exactly what she had been thinking about. She blushed and looked away. "Uh, it's just...we're gonna have to eat cereal for breakfast now. Yeah, that's it! I was thinking about breakfast! Not about how-" Botan stopped herself and laughed nervously. ' That was close! I almost let it slip!' she thought. Botan tried to figure out what had made her so concerned about Hiei's eyes as she busied herself by getting the cereal down. She couldn't answer her own questions so she ended up thinking about it for the rest of the morning.
