15. Hiei's Worst Kiss Ever and Botan's Worst Enemy

Botan glanced at her watch. It was 9:30. The movie should be done right about now… she thought. She was waiting for Yusuke, whom she had heard from Keiko had gone with that rude new girl, Spritzy. Botan didn't like Spritzy very much; she thought she was very impolite, conceited and sarcastic, and she wanted to have a talk with Yusuke about her.

But that wasn't the only reason she wanted to talk to Yusuke…. Botan's stomach gave a funny jolt when she thought about "it" – her crush. She secretly liked Yusuke… She knew it was wrong, her liking Yusuke when Keiko was already supposedly his girlfriend, but she couldn't help it! There was something about the smiling Spirit Detective that she really really liked….

Hiei and Yukina were the first to exit the theater once the movie had finished. Keiko had disappeared somewhere after the incident with the popcorn and was not seen coming out of the theater. Botan spotted them, and her stomach jumped again. She didn't know they had been at the movie as well….

"It sure was an interesting night, wasn't it, Hiei?" Yukina asked, twirling her hair with one hand and hanging on his left shoulder with the other. "I had loads of fun, how about you?"

"I'd be having more fun getting my teeth drilled…"

Yukina ignored him and steered him away from the main parking lot.

"Where are we going?" Hiei asked weakly, not wanting to have anything else to do with Yukina. "What are you—"

"Shh," Yukina said, putting a finger to her lips. "I don't want Yusuke to see us…"

I don't either, Hiei thought, but he kept his mouth shut.

Yukina's eyes darted nervously around, searching for anybody who might be spying on them. The only people in the back lot were a couple of kids smoking pot, and they wouldn't notice if a giant nuclear bomb with purple strobe lights came flying straight at them. Yukina decided it was safe.

Hiei was nervous. What was Yukina planning to do…?

Finally, Spritzy and Yusuke came out of the theater. Spritzy had a sour expression on her face; Yusuke looked like he had come off worse in a fight. Botan poked her head from above somebody else's car to get a better look at the two of them. 'What happened…?' she wondered.

Spritzy spotted her hiding behind a car. She recognized her as the girl from school who had called her rude and said right to her face, "I don't like you". She figured that Botan was probably not here to go see a movie. The only explanation she could think of was that she was here to see either her or Yusuke.

I think she likes Yusuke… Spritzy thought. All the better to make her jealous! Spritzy grinned maliciously and clung tighter to Yusuke's arm, whispering something in his ear.

Botan's face burned. How dare she! That Spritzy girl, how she hated her. I can't believe you would fall for someone like that, Yusuke… Botan thought. She's as bad as the demons you fight!

As if to prove Botan's thought, Spritzy put her arm around Yusuke's neck, bringing him into a tight cuddle – one not unlock a demon's death grip – all the while grinning devilishly at Botan. Botan knew she was just doing this to make her mad, but she didn't care! It WAS making her mad! She was going to tell Yusuke her true feelings about him tonight! But she definitely couldn't do that with Spritzy hanging on him like a clingy five-year-old…

Botan turned away, a tear of frustration running down her cheek. "Oh, Yusuke…" she sighed. "Get a clue…"

Yukina pulled Hiei close to her, and before Hiei could protest, she tightly locked her lips with his, drawing into a long, romantic kiss. Alarms were going off in Hiei's head; this was definitely not right! Hiei squirmed, trying to get away from his over-infatuated sister, but it was no use; when Yukina wanted to kiss somebody, she did it and wouldn't let go.

Someone… help me… Anybody… please help me… Hiei thought desperately, feeling sickeningly powerless; he couldn't fight his sister. This can't go on!

"You should've told her the truth," the nasty little voice in the back of Hiei's head sneered.

"Shut up! I don't have time for you!" Hiei told the voice.

Finally, Yukina broke away, her face alight with pleasure. She was grinning from ear to ear; so happy was she to finally get to kiss the love of her life! Hiei, however, was looking far from happy…

Go! Run! Hiei told himself, but the odd, out-of-character nice side of him made him stay and give a polite reason for ditching her.

"Yukina…" Hiei started.

Yukina smiled, if possible, even wider. She thought for sure that he was going to say, "That was the best kiss ever, Yukina! I've fallen even more in love with you…" But, of course, he didn't.

"Yukina, I have to go," he said bluntly. "It's… late, and I'm… not feeling well. Good-bye, Yukina." With that said, Hiei sprinted off at lightning-fast speed. Yukina blinked and he was gone.

"Wh-what?" the ice maiden said aloud. "What just happened? What was that about…?"

NEXT TIME: KUWABARA'S ANNOUNCEMENT AND SPRITZY'S BIG MISTAKE!

Reviewer Responses!

Sami Kurama's Stalker: Che, there's more OOC-ness in here than Keiko flipping people the bird (I can't see it either, and I remember saying "wtf?" when re-reading the chapter…). :points to above chapter: OOC! Yay! lol. I dunno how long the whiteboard marker convo has been going on… Long time… Damn, markers are just that awesome… 8) Thanks for the review!

Red Kitsune Flames: Thanks for the review!

HieiFan123: Thanks! Eep, now I feel bad for not updating in… a few days… :embarrassed blush:snickers: But yes, Spritzy and Yusuke make a lovely couple… ummm… won't continue there… :sweatdrop: Thank you very much for the review; I'm glad you like the story!

paisley: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I'm not going to give you my opinion on Kurama x Botan, because if I did, that just might spoil the story. o.o We wouldn't want that. n.n But thank you for reading, and your comments make the sadistic author (yours truly) smile for making you nervous. :) Thanks for the review!

Fruit is NOT a Dessert: I know, I know, I get WAY off-topic with all the romantic couples. But I was telling somebody else last chapter or whatever that this was originally two different fic (at least fic ideas), but I decided to mesh them into one, and thus, a lot of off-topic rambling goes on. But do not worry, Kurama and his stalker show up… I wanna say next chapter, but I'm not entirely sure. In my ripe old age of 14, I'm forgetting just what exactly goes on in this little ficcie:sweatdrop: Thanks for the review!

heartluv: I think "interesting" appropriately summed up that chapter. n.n OOC, some funny-ness, yeah, 'tis all there. o.o I had fun with Keiko dumping popcorn on their heads too… Dunno, that just seems like a Keiko thing to do… Well, you'll find out who Kurama's stalker is eventually! So hang in there and keep reading (and reviewing)! Thank you!

blue kitsune251: Yeah, she did come up with the chicken thing… Aaah, she is so much smarter than me, Spatula-sensei is… u.u I'm glad you enjoyed last chapter's date! Thanks for the review!

Princess Random: Whew! I am glad the shortness didn't bug you too much. n.n Heh, the funny thing is, I'm opposite of you. I don't feel bad for Hiei or Keiko, but poor Yusuke-kun… although he brings all of his pain upon himself. What a silly foo. :pats him on the head: Thanks for the review!

evilchik: Well, we'll just have to see what happens between Spritzy-chan and Keiko… ya know what, screw the honorifics for Keiko… Aaaanyway, hah, yes, you have pegged it. At least you pegged the part about me enjoying you second-guess and ponder what's going on in your reviews. :D You know very well that I can't tell you anything about what you think's going to happen. Hee hee. And you're going into high school too this coming year? Yay! Me too! I dunno, I always get the feeling that most of my reviewers are all older than me… o.o And then I feel like a stupid young'un… hee hee. Oh well. Thanks for the review!
