I

Botan sighed as she put a kettle on the oven and pulled out a chair from the table. The demon was still waiting for an answer. The nerve of him! Taking me to a bar... dressed... in barely anything!

"Yes, it was the only place I could think of where we could both be comfortable."

The demon, Hiei, whipped a chair out and sat in it, arms crossed and he was visibly furious.

"You baka! Don't you think your little friends are going to notice my energy? You can't just hide the First Advocate of Hell in Heaven!"

Botan's pink eyes narrowed. That's it!

"For your information my house has many seals on it! Sound, energy, and light! It's just fine to have someone like you in here! And, you are not being hidden here! You are my guest!" The tea kettle whistled and that brought the two beings back to reality. Botan smiled. "Do you want some tea?"

The angel wanted to grin as the demon blinked at her change of attitude. He muttered something that Botan took as a yes. She got up and poured two cups. As she sat down she saw that the demon was pinching the bridge of his nose.

"How long do I have to stay?"

Botan rolled her eyes. He was already complaining!

"You heard both of our Master's. We stay together until they're done."

"Great."

II

They drank their tea. There was no conversation. Hiei knew that they would just have an argument. He didn't get it. Why do we have to wait together? There's nothing good that would come of it. For God or my Master. That was when a thought crossed his mind, causing him to speak.

"Why does your house get seals?"

Hiei watched the onna, Botan, glance up at him. Her eyes were not angry anymore, but she didn't trust him. Not that any sane angel would trust me anyway. She did not smile.

"I'm the First Advocate." She paused to refill her cup, blowing on it causing the steam to spread out. "I get privileges and that includes very powerful privacy." Another pause. "Besides, evil auras come from some objects that my Master has me study. The wards were put up so that the other angels didn't make a fuss."

Hiei slouched in his chair. A single sentence would have been enough!

"Hn. Whatever."

A another painful minute passed.

"What's Hell like?"

Hiei restrained himself from rolling his eyes.

"It's all white and little animals run everywhere."

The angel's pink eye's widened.

"Really?"

"No."

III

Botan did chores, washing the dishes and cleaning up her room, she was slightly tense about the fact that she was letting the demon out of her sight every now and then. Well, I don't hear anything... so, I guess everything is okay...

Hours passed and she was back at the table. Night fell on Heaven like a warm blanket. Her pink eye were fighting to stay open. You can't sleep! One: You have a guest at your house. Two: He just happens to be a very important demon! She moved so that she was leaning against the cabinets, sitting on the floor.

Damn him... he doesn't look tired at all. Botan blinked lazily at the demon. His eyes burned into hers. She noted to herself that his eyes reminded her of sin in general, seeing as how they were the colored of dried blood. She licked her lips as she gave into unconsciousness, her pink eyes drifting shut.

IV

Hiei glared at the onna. She looked like she was asleep. She's the First Advocate of Heaven? She falls asleep in front of a demon, from Hell, who could run rapid in Heaven. The demon pushed up his bangs, revealing a third eye. He wanted to know if she was asleep or not. I've wondered what angels dream about...

Hiei wasn't sure what he expected when he went into Botan's mind. But, it sure wasn't what he found. There aren't any pictures! Hiei was unnerved as he viewed her subconscious thoughts. It was pulses of colors, and certain sensations. He recognized happiness, there was another feeling that he couldn't recognize... it was too pure for him.

So angels dream in feelings... not pictures...

Hiei barely had dreams as it was, but at least he had moving pictures... you know, like a version of how one of his days could go. His third eye closed, his connection with the onna lost. He looked at her, studying her. She's like a child... so trusting, maybe even without realizing it. He saw her shiver.

The Advocate watched the angel tremble on the floor, curling into a ball, scrambling for warmth. Hiei tried to deal with it, but it grew too annoying for him. It was like a pestering fly. He needed to kill it. So, certain that no one was looking, the First Advocate of Hell took the First Advocate of Heaven into his arms. He was cradling her gently, really not wanting to wake her.

I cannot believe I am doing this... Hiei scowled as he walked around the house. It took him four tries until he found her bedroom.

The moonlight cast a luminous glow on her white sheets as he pulled them back with a clawed hand, letting the onna's head rest on his shoulder. She yawned in her sleep, causing him to shiver as she breathed on the side of his neck.

Hiei held the head of the onna in his one hand as he lowered her onto her bed. As he was sure that her head was securely on the pillow, he pulled up her blankets and sheets so that they were up to her chin. Some First Advocate of Hell... Hiei berated himself as he stormed out of her room.

Sulking, the demon sat in his chair. His eyes were blazing with a deadly rage that was all aimed at himself. You could have dealt with the stupid shivering, Hiei! Now look at how you represented Hell. Tucking an angel into bed is really intimidating! Hiei only got a few hours of sleep a day, so it was when the sun was beginning to think about rising that he let his eyes close.

V

Botan woke up slowly, colors and sounds making their way into her senses. Her eyes blinked open and she relished the feeling of her bed. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. That's so strange... I've never had a dream in pictures before... Advocate of Hell... Keiko meeting with Lucifer... ridiculous!

The Advocate got out of bed and walked to her bathroom, taking off her dress as she closed the door behind her. She took a nice hot, steamy shower. She washed her hair and soaped up. As she stepped out, she felt refreshed and ready to take on the day.

White towel wrapped around her body, she made her way into the kitchen to make herself some coffee. As she was filling the pot with water, she heard an odd sound behind her. It was almost like... breathing...

Botan whirled around and screamed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Botan gasped as she struggled to keep her towel on as she watched the short man from her dreams startle, instantly on his feet, his eyes checking for any enemies. All he found was a flustered angel in a white towel.

"Stop screaming, onna!"

Botan took a deep breath as she assessed the situation. Okay, last night wasn't a dream... it all happened and he's still here, meaning my Master is still negotiating with Lucifer. The Advocate bit her lower lip nervously. She didn't know if it was a bad thing that she hadn't gotten one call from Keiko.

She sat down in her chair that was still out from last night. That was when an interesting notion hit her. I fell asleep on the floor, and Heaven is still in tact! Botan frowned. But how did I get to bed?

"Hiei, how did I get into my bedroom last night? I fell asleep in here."

The demon scowled, and to Botan's amusement, he looked like he was angry at himself.

"You were shivering. It was annoying me so I put you in your bed."

His shoulders were raised and his eyes were daring her to question his motives. She didn't. Instead, she smiled with an astonished look on her face.

"Well, thanks."

"Hn."

That was when Botan realized that she was still only in a towel. Flushing slightly, she excused herself to change.

VI

Hiei had woken up to screaming. His reflexes had him jolt awake, ready for battle or some sort of crisis. All he saw was the First Advocate of Heave. In a towel. The first thought that flashed across his mind was, "Nice legs." And, after he realized just what he thought, he gritted his teeth. She asked him how she had gotten to bed last night. After he told her how, she thanked him, making him feel even worse about doing it in the first place.

She left, hopefully to clothe herself. Hiei sat alone, enjoying the silence. As soon as she stepped back into the room, he heard his Master's voice.

Hey, Hiei! Rise and shine!

Hiei saw Botan's eyes glaze over, her work face on. No doubt that she was being informed by her Master. Her delicate features were the last thing he saw as he was being pulled to his Master, Yusuke.

The demon found himself on a rock. In the middle of the ocean. He heard a squeal of delight and surprise behind him. He looked lover his shoulder and saw the First Advocate of Heaven standing on another rock, but she had to stand on tip toes, hers was so narrow. Her blue hair was floating around her head, and that was when he really noticed her wings and halo.

The ring that hovered over her head didn't look solid. It was just a band of golden light. Her wings had to have a wing span of at least four feet. He had head rumors that angels were able to change the size of their wings. But... that was just a rumor.

He saw the two supreme beings. They were in front of them, Master in front of Advocate. They were standing on the water. Hiei smirked. It's not just God that is able to walk on water. Humans always get that wrong.

"We've come to agreements, but we will have more meetings soon." Lucifer turned to God and smiled. "So, don't think that you two will be out of the job."

Hiei felt his smirk vanish. That was not good news. Looks like he'd have to relish his time in Hell as much as he could. He looked at the onna. She didn't look that happy either.

"Botan, you can take the scenic route home. You've got a day off today."

Hiei head a splash and he whirled around. The Advocate's head popped out of the water. Her face was glistening with the water and she was grinning broadly.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Hiei shook his head. He wanted to smirk, but he didn't. That was when he heard his Master's voice.

"Geez, God, you make me seem like the bad guy now."

God raised Her eyebrows.

"You are the bad guy."

Lucifer laughed, hitting God on the back.

"Right, okay so Hiei, feel free to do what you want. As long as you come back in the morning."

With a flash of white light and the crackle of fire, the two beings were gone. Hiei blinked. He barely got days off... ever. His gaze returned to the angel who was climbing back on the rock. She couldn't stop grinning. It was irking. When she climbed onto the rock, he noticed that she was shimmering. This time it wasn't from the water.

So that's what an angel looks like in spiritual form... Hiei had never witnessed it before. She glanced at him. She extended her wings, which now had an enormous span, one almost knocked him off his rock. With a high pitched giggle and a rush of wind, she was gone.

VII

Botan soared through the skies, dry in a matter of seconds at the speed she was traveling. She knew exactly where she was going to go. The same place she went on all her days off.

A wedding. She didn't care which. The Advocate sat in the back of the church a few moments later. She chose a from that was appropriate, one without blue hair. So there she was, sitting and watching a most wondrous event take place. Two people joining together out of love. The angel sighed. I wished someone loved me like that.

That was when she heard the two lovers complete the bond. She mouthed the words, her pink lips moving to the words I do. She didn't attend the reception, her day was spent. She was wiping her eyes when she heard a dark chuckle.

"So, that's your big idea of fun for a day off?"

Botan flinched, fear coursing through her before she got a hold of herself. It was just Hiei... wait... HIEI?

"Hiei? What are you doing?"

The other Advocate smirked as he shrugged nonchalantly.

"I wanted to see what angels do in their spare time." The demon rolled his eyes. "Big whoop."

Botan gritted her teeth.

"I just happen to like weddings!" Botan almost growled she was so angry. "What would you rather do? Enlighten me with your divine knowledge."

That really got a reaction out of her annoying little companion.

"I'll SHOW you! Next time."

Botan could tell that he was close to snapping before he vanished in whirl of fire and smoke. Botan stood on the darkening sidewalk. Next time... next time I'll have something to look forward to. With a smile, the angel tore through the skies, toward her house.

VIII

Hiei got back to his penthouse. He had a glass of water and took a long hot shower. That angel is just one big headache! You'd think with a mouth like that she'd be working for me. Hiei had dealt with many women, demon and nigen. She wasn't like any of them. Happy, perky, annoying, but with a spark. Flare. Next time...

Hiei fell into his bed. Hopefully next time doesn't happen so soon... Unfortunately for our Hiei, it did.
