The Boys of Summer

By: Rikku Minouke

Disclaimer: in my last one I was talking about Boys II Men and how I didn't have money to buy there CD, well I got the CD….but I'm in a thirty five dollar debt now, for I also bought the last YYH DVD a little bit ago and so now I have to work it off…meaning I don't own YYH

With Hiei and Botan, normal POV

Botan stirred a bit when she finally opened her eye's Hiei wasn't in her lap and well all the guys seemed to wander off. She noticed something in the corner of her eye and when she looked she screamed. Suddenly the guys ran into the room. Her breath was coming quickly in short gasped.

"Onna?" Hiei was by her side in a blink of an eye. "What's wrong?"

"That scared me," Botan pointed at the window where one of the displays were moving. They must have turned on the house already.

"Are you sure?" Yusuke said eyeing the display on a scary monster.

"It's really fake," Rikku nodded.

"But when your eye's are still hazy and your minds clouded from sleep you might think its real," Botan said. v.v

"She does have a point," Kurama said.

"n.n Thank you Kurama," Botan said happily. Hiei twitched and looked away.

"Should we wait for some people to come in before we head out?" Keiko asked.

"Probably, so it doesn't look weird," Yusuke said.

Hiei looked out the window. "There's a really big line outside."

"That's to be expected," Botan said standing up.

When they reach outside

"That was not cool," Hiei glared at the pavement.

"Why? Because those people thought you were a display?" Yusuke laughed.

"Oh, stop making fun of him," Botan said. Everyone stared at her. "What?"

"…"

"Stop staring at me…" Botan said nervously.

"…"

"Stop," Botan said getting irritated.

"…"

"Quit staring now," Botan glared, a glare that would melt the coldest ice. Everyone seemed to look away as fast as they could.

"So…?" Yusuke said trying to start conversation.

"We umm, have something to...ow," Rikku started but Keiko jabbed her in the side.

"Ignore her," Keiko said.

"She talks nonsense," Botan added with a calm look.

"Sure," Yusuke said looking at Keiko oddly.

"Do you guys want to do something today?" Rikku asked and prepared her self to get hit which she didn't.

"Yes, that sounds nice," Kurama said smiling.

"Hn," Hiei grunted.

"Meaning, 'whatever, I'll tag along'?" Botan asked and he glared at her.

"Stop talking, you're so annoying," Hiei said and Botan's face flushed with anger.

"Grrr!" Botan twitch and she wanted to hit him badly.

"So how about after we all get ready do want to meat at our house?" Keiko asked.

"Sounds like a plan," Yusuke said. (If anyone likes Aladdin or my writing in general please read the author notes at the end n.n)

At the girls house after everyone arrived, Hiei's POV

I walked in to Botan's house after I was all cleaned up. So I cared for her as a friend. That's all. The other girls weren't bad, I just didn't think of them as friends.

Worry spread through my body as I thought of what might of happened to the girls to make them so sad. The others walked in behind me so I put on an emotionless expression. Soon the girls came out of there rooms to sit with us in the living room. Since the couch was like a right angle there were two sides. One side it was Kurama, Rikku, Botan, and me. On the other side Yusuke, Keiko, Yukina, and the baka sat. why is HE sitting next to my sister!

"So what's going on?" Yusuke asked.

"Yeah, why are we all sitting here?" Kuwabara asked.

"…well…" Keiko bit her lip.

"…umm," Rikku fiddled with her fingers in her lap.

"We…we know that everyone's wondering why we're hiding things but, we're scared that you might get dragged into our problems and get hurt," Botan said.

"But now, some ones persuaded one of use to tell you," Keiko twitched a little bit. It felt like everyone's eye's were on me.

"And it's only going to get better, we hope," Rikku said and gripped Kurama's hand.

"Yes," Botan agreed and looked at me and smiled slightly. "Where would you like us to start?"

"The beginning," I said.

"Okay," Keiko said. "We were all dating some one. Terry was my boyfriend."

"Rock was mine," Rikku said.

"Kyo," Botan said and I saw her hands shaking. I made sure no one noticed, for I slipped my hand behind her had rubbed her back. She smiled and I felt happy…HAPPY! What's wrong with me? I took my hand away before I could thing anymore thoughts like that. Glaring at the table I listened to the girls carefully.

"We kind of were beginning to think we were in love with them when we get a call from the police station say they need to see us," Keiko said and I looked to Yusuke and Kurama. All three of our faces went pale at the word love. I don't know why I'm making such a big deal about this, but I felt so disappointed.

"I was such an idiot for thinking I was in love," Botan said, her eye's were closed. "That wasn't love, it wasn't even friendship. Who knows what it was."

"Anyways," Rikku let go of Kurama and held Botan's hand. "When we went to the station we found out Rock and Terry were dead. They'd over dosed on some kind of drug. The police wouldn't tell us what drug because they said is was evidence in a file they weren't allowed to give out." Rikku squeezed Botan's hand.

"My co worker Ayame said she'd ferried them across so it was all true. Kyo had gone missing and we attended the funerals and the privet burials," Botan said.

"Maybe a week or so after the funeral we get a call from Kyo saying that he's coming over to talk," Keiko told us. Yusuke wrapped his hand around Keiko's waist and she leaned against him and stared at the blank TV. I hate this damn urge to do that to Botan…fight the urge Hiei, you can do it!

"When he showed up he was all sad and depressed. He sat in our living room at the time. We've redesigned everything since than…kind of," Rikku said.

"I remember we asked him why he hadn't went to the funeral and he started to get really mad," Botan said and even though her eyes were closed tears still came down her cheeks. I wanted to wipe them away but made myself stay perfectly still.

"The curtains started on fire, the carpet started on fire under the curtains," Keiko said, tears coming down her cheeks too. Great, TWO crying girls. Yusuke was comforting Keiko though. How I wished I could do…NOT do the same thing. We were only friends and that was the only emotion had toward the baka ferry girl. That's what I admitted to last night…wasn't it?

"At that time this was all carpet, those stairs weren't there, the kitchen was tile instead of wood," Botan said opening her eyes. "Kyo was a demon who controlled fire." Now I see why she gets afraid of me. "He was a handsome man, when he wasn't angry. But I fell right into his trap. When the house was on fire the girls and myself were in the middle of the room. The back of the house was covered by fire and blocked by Kyo."

Flashback

Botan stood by the couch with Rikku and Keiko at her sides. "Kyo put the fire out right now! What's wrong with you?" Botan asked getting scared.

"You don't get it do you?" Kyo asked walking closer to the girls.

"What are you talking about?" Keiko asked.

"Would you shut up!" Kyo said his fist forming into fire he punched Keiko in the stomach. She went flying into the wall, passed out.

"You bastard!" Rikku yelled at him. "How could you do that!"

"I am not talking to you!" Kyo said.

"I don't care if you are or not," Rikku said. "Why are you doing this?"

"Rikku," Botan said putting a hand on her shoulder. "Go see if Keiko's alright." Rikku did quickly.

"I know you're scared of me Botan," Kyo smirked. "You should be. You see I know everything about you. I used your friends and their boyfriends to get to you."

"You are such an ass!" Rikku got on her feet after checking to see if Keiko was fine.

Kyo rolled his eye's in annoyance. "Why is it you have the rudest friends?"

"Leave them alone!" Botan yelled. "What are you talking about?"

"You have something I want," Kyo said cupping her chin. "Or at least one of the three do. And I won't stop until I get it!" Botan pulled out of his grasp and took a few steps back.

"We don't know what you're talking about," Botan said. "Why don't you explain."

"Well, since I knew that you were special, you were the most logic to go after," Kyo said. "I went out and found two other men to help me with my plan. They only needed a small sum of money to agree. The real trick was getting into your hearts. Your trust. We got you to fall in love with us didn't we?"

"Pig!" Rikku spat in his face.

"That's it! You wench, you are going to pay!" Kyo grabbed Rikku by the neck and lifted her off the ground. She gasped for air. Fire surrounded her like a snake going down and around her body, not touching quite. Then suddenly the flame snapped at her, engulfing her.

"Rikku!" Keiko was awake now and standing. All three girls were crying.

"Please stop!" Botan begged.

"Humph," Kyo laughed and through Rikku at Keiko. The two collided and fell to the ground, Rikku no longer on fire, but seriously hurt. "If I don't get what I want you are all going to die a slow painful death."

"Not if I kill you first!" Botan said and a bat appeared in her hands and she swung at him. Kyo caught it, but Botan kicked him. Keiko set Rikku on the ground and picked up a dictionary and hit Kyo in the head. He stumbled back words a bit, letting go of Botan's bat and she swung at him again, knocking him on the shoulder hard.

"You think you can beat me?" Kyo grinned evilly. "Don't make me laugh!" Kyo pushed Keiko to sit on the couch and grabbed Botan's wrist. "Now where is it?"

"What are you talking about?" Botan asked, the bat disappeared. "Let me go."

"Not until I get what I want!" Kyo leaned closer to Botan. "I want the medallion, the key. WHERE IS IT!"

"Kyo, you've gone crazy," Rikku said from her spot on the floor.

"Do you want to die right this minute?" Kyo snapped.

"What key?" Keiko asked.

"Like you don't know what I'm talking about," Kyo glared. "It's silver, Has a mountain on it, with a sun to the left of the mountain and two birds on the right. I need it now."

"We don't know what you're talking about," Botan said.

"We have to leave or we'll get caved in," Keiko said and ran over to Rikku. Picking her up they headed for the kitchen, but Kyo stopped them.

"Not until I get that necklace," Kyo said.

End flashback Hiei's POV

The three girls were sobbing. Kurama was hugging Rikku and Yusuke was hugging Keiko. I sat there watching Botan cry into her hands. Kuwabara was comforting a sad Yukina, rubbing her back, saying words that comfort her. Even the baka was better than me.

Botan was doing a little better now. She stood and looked at me. "Would it be alright if I leave for a moment?" I nodded and she ran out of the room. Why do I feel so guilty? I didn't do anything…that's probably why I feel so low.

"Hiei why don't you go comfort her?" Kurama asked holding Rikku who was shaking violently.

"She could use," Yusuke said, Keiko was shaking a lot to and his arms were wrapped around her securely.

"Hn," I stood and walked out of the room. I'll do what I want! The smell of salt water was strong in here also, but it was coming from Botan's room so I knocked.

"Come in," Botan called. When I walked in she was sitting on her bed hugging a pillow, crying harder than before. I walked over to her and sat down on her pink bed. The color was gross, I hate pink. "I'll be back out there in a little bit." Botan said between sobs.

I took the pillow away from her and set it on her bed. She was looking at me oddly. It wasn't something I normally did but I knew it was eating away at me from inside out. With a small sign I hugged her. From shock she gasped but hugged me back, crying into my chest. Her tears were getting my shirt wet, but I didn't care.

"It's going to be okay onna," I told her. "Don't worry about a thing. The guys and myself are here now and we'll help you through anything." She cried and cried and cried…how much can a girl cry? "Shhh, it'll be fine now. Please stop crying." Did I just say please?...Fine! I like her a little more than a friend! Argh! But that's it. I am not going to become soft or have these emotions that make people weak. I will not!

"Thank you Hiei," Botan sniffed. She pulled away a little and looked up at me. I was frowning because I didn't want to let her go yet. Than she giggled and I looked down at her. "Your such a big softy."

That made me twitch. I was not soft! "Watch what you say, I might have to kill for that comment."

"You wouldn't dare," Botan smiled.

"You want to bet?" I smirked and Botan rolled her eyes.

"I have no money on me," Botan said and I raised an eyebrow.

"You sure?" I started tickling her sides.

"No, stop!" Botan laughed.

"Why should I?" I asked.

"Because….I said so," Botan laughed.

"I don't like that answer," I smirked.

"I'll kiss you if you don't stop," Botan said I laughed.

"Yeah right," I pushed Botan over so she was laying on her back as I continued to tickle her.

"I will," Botan said. She was laughing so hard new tears started running down her face.

"No you won't," I said and before I could do anything else Botan sat up and kissed me on the lips! I was so shocked that my eye's went wide and my hands stopped moving. Her lips were so soft and inviting. My arms wrapped around her to pull her against me and my eye's fluttered shut.

Her arms wrapped around my neck as we kissed and I slowly laid down beside her so I didn't squish her with my weight. I felt her mouth open to me and I took the invitation, slipping my tongue in her mouth. We seemed to be kissing for who knows how long, a minute, a hour, a few hours. I didn't care.

Botan broke the kiss and I opened my eyes to see what was going on. Her arms still around my neck, my arms still around her waist, our bodies still pressed against one another. I saw her smile and I wanted to kiss her senseless. She was addicting, her taste, her features, her personality. Everything about her I wanted to know more of.

"Hiei should we be doing this?" Botan asked and it surprised me.

"Hn," I grunted because I didn't know how to answer.

"I don't know either," Botan sighed and laid her head on my chest. Why did this feel so right? I wonder what she was thinking but I didn't want to invade her personal space. When did I start caring about peoples personal space? When I met Botan. I've changed so much, ever since I heard her voice, when she said she loved me…she never said those words put that's what the conversation was going at. I'd fallen for a blue haired goddess. She was a goddess, she was a deity, which is a god or goddess. Botan was beautiful and I can't believe how in love I am with her…LOVE! No I wasn't in love? Defiantly not. Just a really big crush.

"Should we go back to the others or would you like to stay here?" I heard myself ask.

"I don't care, just hold me," Botan said and scooted closer…if possible. I held on tighter to her not wanting to let her go. We fell asleep like that.
