He stole my heart, like he stole my life

Now I've been here for what seems like forever but really it's just two weeks. I've got to know even more people then I could have imagined. Also Hiei still hates me, but I've gotten over most of my fears of Hiei and enjoy bugging him to no end.

Also I told the group that everything I earn at the club goes to Yukina. Keiko almost started crying when I told her that. Yukina herself has gotten worse, not much, but enough for me to notice. She can't even leave her bed with out screaming in pain, the poor girl.

"Botan, you done eating?" Kuwabara asked his face full of depression. While I've been here I also got to know some of there secrets and some of the not so secret things going on. Like how Kuwabara is in love with Yukina and how Shizuru can't keep her eye's of Kurama.

"Yes Kazuma," I nodded and stood. So did Kurama. He's so old fashion it's cute. "I'll just go get my purse"…or Keiko's purse that I'm borrowing.

I exited the kitchen and I knew Kurama sat back down. Quickly I grabbed my stuff and met Kazuma at the entryway with Keiko, Yusuke, Kurama, Shizuru, and even Hiei. Smiling brightly I approached Hiei. His growl was loud and clear.

"Hey Hiei!" I grinned ignoring his warning completely. "I'm so glad you're coming with us!"

"It's not like he has a choice," Yusuke laughed. "Ow… why'd you do that Keiko?"

"Stop joking around Yusuke and get outside," Keiko told him narrowing her eyes slightly. "Don't you even think about skipping out on us this time."

"Seems like more then one of us doesn't have a choice," Hiei smirked. "At least no woman is making me go."

"Are you sure about that?" Shizuru raised an eyebrow and I snickered.

"No woman could make me do anything," Hiei glared at her. "They aren't that smart." My mouth dropped opened and my eyes flared. Kurama ushered us outside before I could smack Hiei who was smirking mercifully at me.

Somehow we all got in the car, cramped. I was basically sitting in Hiei's lap, maybe now could be my chance to tattoo a big red handprint on his cheek. Turning around in his lap I frowned at him. As much as I hate to say, I was attracted to him in some odd way. Most of the time I'm not sure if I should slap him silly or kiss him senseless.

"What are you looking at lady?" Hiei ground out. Without responding I continued to stare. Something dark flashed through his eyes but it was quickly gone. I blinked a few times and turned to look forward.

A few minutes we parked and everyone pushed to get out of the car first. Keiko dragged Yusuke into some girly shop and Kuwabara stopped right in the doorway to look at the pet shop. Shizuru and Kurama were... or at least they had been right behind Hiei and me …but now they're not. That's funny; humph they just had to leave me with Mr. Anti-social didn't they?

Hiei sat down after a few feet on some chair. I sat on the arm of it. Not looking at him I just knew that he was glaring at my back. It wasn't a guess I know that's what he's doing, I could feel it.

Sad to say though when I turned to look at him I fell over into his lap. Like the normal Hiei he pushed off and I slid onto the mall floor. That was sure nice of him. Stand up I wiped off my butt and narrowed my eyes in his direction. In response he rolled his.

"What is your problem!" I snarled at him, my cheeks turning red with anger. "You've been so mean to me ever since…well since before I knew who the heck you were. Why? I didn't do anything to you!"

"You're too loud and talk too much," He looked away and glowered at Bath and Body Works.

"Why are you always insulting me?" I walked closer to the chair and he stood up.

"It's not an insult if it's true," he remarked but stood up. Even if I was taller he still intimidated me, but no way was I going to let that show. Squaring my shoulders I looked him straight in the eyes.

"It's not true," I informed him lamely. "But…is it because of your sister that you don't like me?" Hiei's eyes narrowed further. "Or because I'm just as poor as you? Which means you might go to jail for kidnapping the wrong person." Flames shot across his eyes and I knew I was adding wood to the fire. "But even if I was still daddy's little girl, I wouldn't give you any money after the way you treat me." From what it looked like, he was about to strangle me so quickly I added, "But since I like your sister and everyone else has been nice to me, I'm trying."

"Another word and I might go to jail for killing you," He told me and I laughed. I still can't believe I had the courage to, but I really laughed in his face. But before I knew it I was sitting the chair … in his lap… with his kissing me….

I was too shocked to even move. Then I started to franticly think. Maybe I should push away, but with the way his lips felt I just could. Or just move away a little bit, and then I felt my arms circle his neck. This can't be right, but then I opened my mouth to him and I knew it was right. One of his arms circled my waist and pulled me closer as the other was on the back of my neck.

Gasping for breath I pulled back a bit, but leaned my forehead on his. "What just happened?" I whispered but smiled softly and kissed him again. I felt his chuckle on my lips.

We parted slowly and he looked me in the eyes. "I only said those things so this wouldn't happen."

"This meaning…?"

"Wanting to tear your clothes off in the middle of the mall and licentious things to you," Hiei smirked at me and my eyes widened and my mouth I'm sure was hanging open. "Don't deny you weren't thinking the same thing."

"Well not here in the mall at least," I told him but smiled nonetheless and kissed him with all I had. Or I started to until I was yanked off him and onto my feet. I quickly glanced around trying to gain my thoughts which at the moment where wrapped around Hiei.

Than I noticed over Hiei's head a TV with my picture. Whirling around I saw someone I didn't recognize and I glanced at Hiei and actually prayed for the mans safety. But my gaze shifted back to the TV. 'Missing for two weeks' was under my picture of my cat and myself in my, at the time, new apartment last year. At least they got a good picture of me.

Not that point! Right now I need to focus. Some guy is holding my collar and Hiei was standing and about to rip this guy another butt hole. Poor guy… "Botan Koi?" he asked me and I nodded. "I called the police and they're on the way to take you home. Did this man kidnap you?"

"No…" I looked at him strangely. "Would I be making out in a mall with my kidnapper?" I was happy to notice that his face turned red and Hiei was beside me in less than a second with his arms around me. "Hiei?"

"We have to go," Hiei told me but I shook my head.

"The fuzz is on its way, we can't leave now," I told him and he stiffened. "Don't worry, I should have told someone I was leaving the country for a few weeks anyways." He just looked at me and kissed me. "You should go to work, I'll see you…. around." With that he grinned slightly.

"Like I would ever want to see your horrible face," Hiei told me and I glared daggers at him. He only laughed and walked away, not looking back.

Although I didn't have much time to think about how I was going to miss everyone fore the cops decided to show up then. And I knew I was going back to Nemuro Japan. Back to my bartending job, back to being lonely (besides my cat), back to having no family, and back to wishing for more.
