Chapter Five
"What's wrong?" Botan asked. She fell silent as she watched the screen. Hiei had freed himself and was walking into her room. He suddenly didn't seem so drunk. Unfortunately for Hiei, the camcorder was at an angle where you could see into Botan's room. Hiei walked to the edge of the bed where Botan was fast asleep and leaned toward her. What she saw next shocked Botan so completely, she couldn't move or speak. Hiei kissed her cheek lightly, looking completely sober. ' What does this mean?' she thought. She watched as he whispered something in her ear so quietly that even with the volume up all the way, no one could hear it. He then got into the bed on the other side and fell asleep with his arms around her. All Botan could do was watch the screen. When she was finally able to rip her eyes from the TV, she looked around the room to see if everyone was as shocked as her. Hiei was clearly angry and frustrated. ' Damn Yusuke for filming this! He will pay! I never thought anyone would see that, but now that that onna has, I wonder what she thinks.' He felt Botan's eyes on him and looked at her. She had a dazed look on her face and when he tried to read her mind, he couldn't make any sense of her thoughts. Botan looked away from Hiei and turned to Kurama. The fox didn't look nearly as surprised as she felt, but he looked thoughtful. ' What's he thinking about?' she wondered. She couldn't tell, but the kitsune was wondering if Hiei would finally tell the ferry girl. Kurama decided it was best not to get involved, though. He noticed Botan watching him and he gave her a small smile. She looked horribly confused. Botan nodded and stared at Yusuke who was silently laughing. Hiei would not hear the end of this. Kuwabara had the same expression as Yusuke and was also silently laughing. Hiei would definitely not hear the end of this. Botan turned back to the TV. Close to when Botan was about to wake up, Hiei took his arms from around her and gained the sleeping drunk look. Botan still didn't know what to think. Her thoughts were a swirling vortex of confusion. She didn't have time to think any further though, because the tape was at the point to where Botan was walking out of the bathroom with only a towel on. She watched herself go to the dryer to get some clothes and then go back to the bathroom. Botan felt the anger rise in her throat. She growled. "Yusuke Urameshi. Do you realize that you are about to die? Koenma won't mind me killing you as much as he would Hiei." She summoned her oar and she noticed the fear flicker into Yusuke's eyes. He had never seen her this way and frankly, it scared him. He knew she wouldn't really kill him as much as she would injure him, though. Botan started to lunge, but Yusuke dodged. She went after him again and this time she managed to give him a big lump on his head before he got away. "Stop fighting you two." Kurama said as Yusuke started to fight back. No one was listening and Hiei even joined in the fight. "What's wrong! I only recorded Hiei's drunk and not so drunk stupidity!" Yusuke cried. "Would you like to repeat that, detective!" Hiei growled in a deadly tone of voice. Kurama kept trying to stop the fighting to no avail. He finally got so fed up that he turned into Youko Kurama and yelled, "Stop fighting! This stupidity is not nessacery or welcome!" as he got in between Hiei, Botan, and Yusuke. Everyone stopped when they saw and heard Youko and Kuwabara's eyes got wide. "Yusuke, you will give Botan the tape so she can do whatever she wants with it. Hiei, stop trying to kill Yusuke. Now, I think it's about time for all of us to leave Botan alone so she can get some peace and quiet." Youko continued. Everyone muttered a sheepish agreement and started to leave. Yusuke was the first one out of the door after giving Botan the tape and apologizing. Kuwabara followed. Botan looked gratefully at Youko, who reverted back to Kurama, and gave him a hug. "Thanks. I want to get back to sleep as soon as possible! Today has been, uh...interesting, to say the least." Kurama nodded and said bye. Hiei just disappeared with a "Hn".
