The Boys of Summer

By: Rikku Minouke

Disclaimer: I am sad to announce that I do not own YYH at this moment. Soon Hiei and Botan will be together and I will be happy! n.n

Botan lay on her towel in the sun getting a tan while Keiko and Rikku where playing volleyball with Yusuke and Kuwabara. Where Kurama and Hiei went…who knows.

"Hey Botan!" Ayame walked up to the tanning girl who sat up at the sound of her name. "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"Nope," Botan smiled. "I am on vay cay for the summer."

"Oh, really?" Ayame asked. "Because Kyo came in today and demanded to talk to you and Koenma said that you were out doing an errand for him."

"Kyo?" Botan asked and bit her lip. "If he comes in again can you tell him I moved to ummm Kentucky."

"Kentucky?" Ayame asked. "How about Tennessee?"

"That's fine," Botan smiled at her co worker. "Thanks so much."

"No problem, I better get back to my friends or they'll come looking for me," Ayame left and Botan laid back down on her towel as Kurama and Hiei walked under the umbrella that was next to Botan.

"So, how are you boys liking Miami?" Botan asked.

"Very well, thank you," Kurama said. Botan slid her sunglasses down her nose and looked at Kurama and smiled.

"That's good," she glanced at Hiei and put her glasses back on. "What about you little man?"

"What did you call me?" Hiei growled.

"Hiei," Botan closed her eyes and took off her sunglasses, setting next to her so not to get a tan line on her face.

"It's fine," Hiei glared at her.

"Botan, you seem like a regular here," Kurama sat next to Botan.

"Yep," Botan said cheerily. "Lived in Miami since I was five and like in the Keys before that. Naturally Florida born."

"And that's something to be proud of?" Hiei asked.

"Shot through the heart," Botan laughed. "I guess not but oh well."

"Hey guys!" Yusuke yelled "Why don't you pansy's come over here and play?"

"I think I'll pass," Botan called over to him.

"Come on Botan!" Keiko called.

"You can help us win!" Rikku said. "You're the best."

"Oh the flattery," Botan laughed and stood up as the other girls cheered.

"Now you guys are going down!" Rikku laughed.

"That's not fair!" Kuwabara said. "It's uneven teams!"

"Well…" Yusuke thought. "Kurama, Hiei? One of you have to play."

"Hiei you play," Kurama said.

"Hn," Hiei said and walked over to his friends.

"Ya," Kuwabara said. "You don't know how burned you're going to get."

"We'll see about that," Keiko said.

(I don't feel like writing out the WHOLE game so we'll do it the easy way)


"I can't believe they won," (can anyone guess?) Hiei said.

"It's a shocker," Yusuke said.

"I mean," Hiei said. "We lost…"

"Get over it shorty," Rikku said.

"We played a good game though," Kuwabara said.

"But we still lost!" Hiei snapped.

"It was just a game," Keiko said raising an eyebrow at him.

"I never loose," Hiei said.

"Hiei, you kinda just did," Yusuke said. "And to think it was a blue haired angel too."

"Why thank you Yusuke," Botan blushed.

"She's not an angel," Hiei glared.

"You are such a butt head," Botan yelled at him.

"Nice way to put it," Hiei snapped at her still glaring.

"Hey Keiko, you want to get some ice cream, Hiei can go on for hours," Yusuke asked.

"I'd love to," Keiko smiled and the two walked off.

"Hiei no baka! Why don't crawl back into the shell you came out of, shrimp!" Botan screamed.

"Wow," Kuwabara said and walked off leaving Rikku by herself.

"How interesting," Rikku said sarcastically.

"If you would like we could make a sand castle," Kurama asked by her side.

"You came out of no where," Rikku's eyes lit up. "I'd love to make a sand castle." The two walked into a clearing and started to make a sand castle while chatting freely.

"Slut!" Hiei yelled.

"What did you call me!" Botan shouted.

"Onna, you are the queen…of rats," Hiei glared and rolled his eyes.

"Well at least I'm a queen instead of a piece of crap like you," Botan glared back.

"Queen of rats though?" Hiei raised his eyebrows at her.

"Being queen, I'd make them eat you alive," Botan said.

"Kind of vicious are we?" Hiei smirk.

"Problem with that?" Botan snapped.

"Not at all," Hiei said still smirking. "When you get angry you look really ugly."

"URGH!" Botan through sand at Hiei and he looked so pissed that Botan ran for the water. Hiei ran after her and trampled Rikku and Kurama's sand castle.


"So you don't have a girlfriend or any thing?" Rikku asked surprised.

"Not at the moment," Kurama said. "No ones caught my eye."

"It looks like Botan and Hiei stopped fighting," Rikku pointed to Botan running toward the water and than started to dig the moat when Hiei trampled on the Keep. Rikku's bottom lip started to tremble.

"It's okay Rikku," Kurama said. "We can remake the keep."

"Hiei killed all the prisoners inside," Rikku said. "Those poor people hadn't been to trial yet."

"What prisoners?" Kurama asked and Rikku's eyes looked all watery. "Oh, those prisoners. I'll have a talk with Hiei about killing them before dinner."


"I want chocolate," Yusuke said and was handed a chocolate ice cream cone.

"I will have strawberry," Keiko said and was handed hers and the two started down the side walk to go to there umbrella.

"Have you lived here long?" Yusuke asked.

"About four years. I moved in with Botan when her parents pasted away and I needed a room mate because I left my family in Mississippi," Keiko said. "I will be going to school with Kazuma next year and he plans to go to the same college as Botan, Rikku and myself," Keiko told him. "What about you? Where are you planning to go to college?"

"…" Yusuke didn't answer so Keiko looked at him and saw he was looking down her swimming suit.

"PERVERT!" Keiko slapped him.

Yusuke laughed and wiped ice cream off his cheek and licked his fingers. "What a way to get strawberry ice cream."

"Humph!" Keiko walked a head of him with her chin held high.

"Wow," Yusuke said smiling. "She slaps hard."


"Hiei you don't want to hurt me," Botan said.

"Why not?" Hiei glared backing her into the water.

"Because…it's below you?" Hiei asked.

"Well yes," Hiei said. "But so was you throwing sand at me. How old are you? Six?"

"I'm 18 thank you very much," Botan said.

"Maybe you should grow up," Hiei said.

"Like you?" Botan asked sarcastically.

"Now you're going to get it," Hiei walked closer to her when a shadow fell upon them.

"Hiei," Kurama pulled his arm as Botan let out a sigh.

"Kurama I'm in the middle of something," Hiei said.

"Yes, I can see that," Kurama said. "But so was I."

"Meaning?" Hiei asked getting annoyed.

"You ruined the sand castle Rikku and I were making," Kurama glared lightly. "You have to apologize…now."

"You have to be kidding me," Hiei laughed.

"No," Kurama said sternly. "You almost made her cry." Kurama looked at Rikku and saw Botan comforting her.

"That's ridiculous," Hiei complained.

Botan walked up to the guys and looked at Hiei and smiled. something in him melted, but he didn't want to look into it so he glared at her. "Don't worry about apologizing. I talked her into not killing you and apologizing for you. It worked but I wouldn't recommend wrecking anything of hers again. I promised Rikku I would eat something with her so, I'll see you guys tonight."

"She's good," Kurama said and Hiei nodded.
