Author's Note: THE LEMON CHAPTER IS HERE. Please refrain from reading if you wish not to read such a thing. So, yeah, by reading onward, you hopefully agree not to get me kicked out of  We wouldn't want that, right?

Yes, I did take years to post this. I wanted it to be good, and hopefully it is. To tell the truth, I have no idea how I got through this without blushing or avoiding the task at hand. At least I got it done, right? So enjoy it, because I probably won't be writing another one unless I'm really into it or comfortable.

Thanks to Goten0040 for being my beta. Goodness knows I needed one. Also, thanks to my friend Carlos for helping me out.

Summary: She had forgotten to wish them good luck, and they had returned beaten. She had forgotten to tell them to be careful, and Hiei was almost crucified. As Botan helps him hold a sword hilt with his injured hands, she'll forget the friendly relationship they once had. Hiei/Botan M for smut

Forgotten

The windows were closed halfway, the curtains half drawn. The moon was our beam of light, full and brilliant. I was still on top of Hiei, having pulled away from our kiss, eyes trying to comprehend what I had done - what he had done. He was stirring now, having been somewhat half asleep when he reacted. He gazed at me, uncertain of what to say. Perhaps there was nothing to say. I reached for my hair tie, allowing it to break. His heavily bandaged hands touched mine as I untied my obi, allowing the fabrics around me to hang upon my body.

He drew my face closer to his, capturing my lips, his tongue parting my lips and tickling the roof of my mouth, his hands hesitant as they rested upon the fabric on my shoulders. Hiei was as nervous as I was. I gave a small moan, which he then pushed my kimono off my shoulders, letting it fall in a pile at his legs. I reached for his shirt, brushing my fingers upon his hard body as I took it off.

His body stiffened with my touch, almost defensively. I soothed his troubles, stroking his hair and face before we parted and I threw his shirt away carelessly. Whatever drove me to such boldness alarmed Hiei, as he raised his eyebrow upon me. I ignored him, grasping the clasp to my bra. This took his attention immediately, and he shifted, almost resisting himself to watch.

He was such a shy man, and he flushed deeply as he drew his bandaged hands upon my arms to my shoulders. I was unsure what he was doing, perhaps to draw attention away from my breasts, but with a crisp snap, my hair was cascading down my back, drawing upon my face, neck, and shoulders. I allowed him to take his time, running his clumsy fingers through my hair with fascination, his blush fading until he reached the end. It was a very interesting thing to see, this embarrassed form of the man.

I grasped his hands, scooting closer until I was sitting on his cut abs, placing those hands upon my back. He did not color as I had anticipated, but worked with the clasp, quietly, straining slightly. It was when I remembered what truly led to up to this point had he already exposed me, throwing my bra away with the same passion I had once had.

"Oh!" I gasped as his pinched and rubbed at my hardened nipples, my back vaulted somewhat, and he sat up, pushing me back to his hips as he licked my neck, biting and nibbling with every pinch.

I snaked my hands up and fisted his hair, my whole body overcome with anticipation. I threw my head back, his name rolling from my lips as he kissed my chin, down to my collar bone, before his mouth caught my darkened peaks.

I ran my fingers through his thick hair, shuddering with pleasure with every unexpected move he would make, biting roughly or sucking until both of my breasts were pink and raw. The cool air made them tingle due to their wetness, a wonderful sensation of raw desire. I cupped his face, pressing my lips upon his own, biting upon his lower lip seductively. He jumped slightly at this, but melted into my hands.

My fingers tickled his body, my knuckles rubbing against him with a fluid back and forth motion. I could feel a small smile emerge, but the feeling was gone, and I felt his sex harden inside his pants. I had felt it long before, when I had first pulled off my clothes. I roamed my fingers lower, until I was at the edge of his pants, pressing my breast and legs against him. He pulled me closer then I already was, muttering something incoherent, yet sounded very much like my name…my real name…

"Botan…"

It was pleasing to my ears, so very sensual. I pushed him away, planting small kisses upon his chest, my digits falling upon his pants. I fumbled with them, kissing him fiercely. He responded immediately to my calling, his bandages rough against my skin as he began to tug at my panties, stopping every once and a while to give a deep throaty growl.

He grabbed me by the waist, pushing me off so I rolled to the side as he pulled of his pants to reveal his throbbing length. Before I could do anything he was on top of me, his lips fiercely colliding with mine, my lips going numb, tingling with lost senses. My fingers grasped upon his manhood, feeling the length and size, holding my breath as he sighed against my ear. I released him, and with one final look at me, our friendship was shattered.

I closed my eyes as he plunged into me, I could feel his gaze on me, to make sure I was alright. I moaned something incoherent, and he came at me again, his pace slow, he himself blinded by his senses with every move. I urged him onward, my nails tearing at his back, my legs wrapping around, trying to keep him as close as possible.

He complied with my request, throwing himself into me with a new speed, fast and unreal, my name and his coming in raspy gasps and cries, urging us on. I began to get used to him, and soon I met his thrusts halfway, to which at first he stopped, gazing at me as if pleasure couldn't have gotten any better. I merely smirked into his eyes, arching my back as a shudder ran through my body with an unexpected force. Hiei slowed down as I clung to him, burying my head into the crook of his neck as my orgasm came. I didn't realize that I had screamed his name until I couldn't speak anymore, my voice lost with my final bellow.

Hiei picked up his pace once more, and he came as well with one last excited thrust, his body arched as mine had been, burying his face between by breasts, kissing my heart as we laid there, panting. He pulled himself out of me, the bits of our juices staining the bed sheets. We laid there, the sweat on our bodies cooling with the wind. He pulled the thin sheets around us, which we had nearly kicked off the bed. I glanced at him as he drew the covers around me, unsure of what outcomes would appear with our act. He was staring at me now, eyelids heavy. He was waiting for me to sleep, and he stroked my cheek once before yawning.

"Go to sleep," he said bossily, wrapping his arms around my waist before pulling me closer.

I said nothing in reply, deciding to comply with his orders, tucking one arm under a pillow with my other around him. I gazed at him once more, watching as he fell into deep sleep. I could still feel the bandages.
