Forbidden Love : The Start of it All

A/N: Hey man... please review... I really like them and last time I only got seven... Oh well! It's on! We're back in business. Okay, so they are starting to realize just what they are feeling, and the rest should unfold in this chappie! Read and... REVIEW! Please. Hee hee.

I

It was dark and hot. Hiei was kissing a woman harshly, loving the way that she shivered at his mere touch. His hands wandered over her body, making her moan into his mouth.

Never before had any woman, human or demon affected him this way. He wanted more than just one lust filled night. He wanted her to be his forever, so that no other man or demon could have her.

Her smooth hands wandered his well toned chest, almost making him tremble. Some other emotion was weighing him down. It bothered and fueled him at the same time. He licked her lips, making her open her mouth in surprise. She tasted wonderful. Like champagne, only sweeter. So pure... and only his.

As he teased her with his tongue, his one clawed hand began cut her white dress away, and she stopped.

"Hiei... we can't..."

Oh, how he disagreed. They could, and they would. He tasted the want and desperate need on her lips. He continued to cut the dress away, anticipating the beauty that lay beneath it. That was when her eyes opened, and suddenly Hiei could see everything.

Her pink eyes, her blue hair, and those lush lips that were begging to be kissed again. His heart skipped a beat as he realized just what he was doing, and how he wanted to keep going. Needed to keep going.

"Botan..."

Hiei jolted awake. He was drenched in sweat and his breaths were shallow and quick. He never lost his cool. Ever. He shook himself from the dream he had. And what a dream it was... AGH! SHUT UP!

The First Advocate of Hell took a cold shower, trying to cool off. Tried, but he did not succeed. Damn it! It figures... it fucking figures...

The demon seethed. Why did Botan have to be so beautiful? Why did he feel that strange emotion when he fantasied about... her? Why did demons have to want things that they couldn't have?

And then the question that told him just how deep he was in crossed his mind.

When will I see her again?

Hiei let out a frustrated cry, punching the white tile in his shower. The more the thought about her, the more he wanted her. The more his urges fluctuated. And that was a bad. One, it was forbidden. He would be tortured for all eternity if anyone found out.

Two, demon urges were hard to stop. Some would say impossible.

II

Botan blinked herself awake. She felt strange. She felt like someone was watching her... or thinking about her... it was curious. But, she needed to get things done.

She smiled as she hummed the theme song to Beauty and the Beast. For her promotion, Keiko gave her tickets to the Broadway musical, very good seats too, as a gift. As a bonus, she got the see and meet the original cast members. That night is one of her most precious memories.

She grinned when she remembered how the man who played the Beast kissed her on the cheek. That was her first kiss, on the cheek. Smiling, Botan left her house and closed her eyes as her wings spread themselves in the crisp air.

The angel plummeted to the Earth. She had work to do.

III

A teenager sat in the library. Her mind was ensnared by a book. Someday I'll be the writer of a great book. She was overweight, like many other American children. But, she wasn't chubby. She was the exception. Odd, I know.

Her hair was brown, short, and curly. Her green eyes didn't notice the older girl who pulled up a chair to her table.

"Excuse me, may I ask you about you book?"

The girl looked up, and was startled to see an older girl talking to her. An older, pretty girl. Another thing was that her hair was bright blue, and her eyes were... pink? But that wasn't possible! Was it?

"Sure, what about it?"

The older girl laughed bashfully, a pink tinting her face.

"Well, actually, I want to ask about you. Do you want to write when you're older?"

The teenager closed the book, not caring that she didn't mark the page. Something was off about this older girl. She wasn't... like anyone else.

"I do. How did you know?"

The older girl smiled, almost playfully.

"I've heard many things from your teachers. They say that you are one of the best."

The teen blushed, her hands wanting to cover her face, but she fought off the urge.

"Um, I don't know about that... but–"

The blue haired girl interjected.

"I know that you can do it." She leaned closer so that their faces were inches apart. "You are going to be the start of a revolution in your country." The briefest of pauses. But, the younger teen noticed something during the time that the girl took a breath. A shadow in the corner that seemed to come out of nowhere. A boy. An older gothic boy. When she looked at him, he glared at her. It was as if he was telling her to keep quiet if she wanted to live. "Variel, you should link problems with this government with your stories. You'll bring the dawn of a new tomorrow."

Variel started. She looked at the older girl, who smiled and walked away. That was when she realized that she hadn't told the older girl her name. When she looked to the corner, the odd boy was gone.

That day, Variel went home to write a book that would change the views of many Americans.

Botan stretched her wings as she soared the skies. That is the girl responsible for the question of the American government. The angel was walking when she heard something. It was the exhale of air, but it wasn't just any ordinary sigh. It was the annoyed sound that Botan knew so well. The angel whirled around, expecting to see Hiei.

All that was there to meet her was the empty street. The Advocate frowned, sort of disappointed. Shrugging, she continued onward, not noticing the flickering shadow following her.

V

Yusuke and Keiko were already together. Their little Advocates were not aware yet. Keiko pulled up a white sheet, snuggling into Yusuke's arms. He looked at His left hand. On one of His fingers was a gold band. You guessed it, the ring finger.

"Why did you make Hiei your First Advocate?"

Yusuke tightened His hold on His wife. Keiko... always asking the best questions. If most people knew the things that Yusuke knew about Hiei, they would also wonder why. But, if they asked Him, they would be killed. Obviously, Keiko was different.

"He wasn't like all the other demons."

Keiko looked up at Yusuke, Her brown eyes peering into His.

"What does that mean?"

Lucifer smirked charmingly.

"The day he was appointed was the day that he spared the soul of a comatose girl. He could have easily corrupted her and her soul would have been as good as mine." He kissed God's forehead. "But he didn't." There was a pause between the two. "Why did you choose Botan for her position?"

God smiled into His chest.

"She was almost the same way. I gave her difficult tasks, to talk to men who were murderers, rapists, even kidnappers. She never judged them on their past, but only on how their souls were and their conversation. Sure, she knew what they did, but she treated them like human beings." God paused, Her eyes getting misty by remembering the older days. "She told me once that some angels had human flaws. The next day she requested that she be able to experience emotions."

"She wanted to be more like the souls she worked with, huh?"

God nodded, almost crying at her memories.

"Should we make 'compromises' with our Advocates?"

Yusuke smiled and threw the sheet off of them, pulling on some pants while He handed God Her clothes.

"I like the way you think."

VI

Hiei belittled himself every second he followed the angel onna. You are the most pathetic demon in the history of Hell!

He finally couldn't take it anymore and he disappeared to a bar. He asked for some sort of beer, he didn't care what kind. He needed something to make him calm down. He chugged it and immediately asked for another.

"Whoa there, little man! What's got you so worked up?" The bartender most likely talked to him because he was the only man in the bar. Hiei scowled at the man. "Oh, it has got to be a woman! Am I right?"

Hiei rolled his blood red eyes.

"Hn."

The bartender laughed heartily, his eyes closing.

"Women. They torture us." Hiei almost nodded. That was when the bartender leaned close to him. "Love comes in the worst of times, but it always makes you want more. Like an addicting drug. Hard to quit after you've had one good run."

Hiei was somewhat shaken by his words. No ordinary nigen would ever... oh shit! The Advocate opened his Jagan Eye, which caused the man to step back. He searched his soul and when he found out just who the bartender really was, Hiei's blood ran cold.

"The Jagan Eye!" The bartender narrowed his eyes, all kindness and compassion gone. "Just what the Hell are you?"

Hiei tensed, not knowing what to do. So, he said what was on his mind.

"You're a pathetic excuse for an angel, poser." Hiei smirked. "Who would want advice from a pretty boy like you?"

The bartender dissolved into his true form. Standing in front of him was a man in white pants and shirt. His red hair flowed down past his shoulders and his green eyes were all but pure.

"Who are you?"

Hiei smirked coldly.

"A better man than you."

Hiei vanished in a whirl of flames, leaving Kurama wanting more information that he could never have.

VII

Botan waited for Hiei in Seattle. She knew what she wanted to do. She had made up a game. When he showed, he looked like he had won a fight. I don't want to know.

"Hiei, come road dancing with me!"

Before he could question what she meant, Botan grabbed his hand, taking them to a busy highway. They were talking along the dividers, both hands were holding the other as the walked. Botan smiled. The humans would wonder what was going on, but none would stop because they had places to go. Simply fun.

"What are we doing, onna?"

Botan giggled. The expression that he wore when he was surprised was one of her favorites.

"Road dancing."

"Hn."

They walked, and sometimes horns would honk at them. Hiei was enjoying this, and on occasion he would pick her up, spinning so that they switched positions.

VIII

Hiei had to hand it to the onna, she did know strange things to do for fun. He smirked as he spun her around, her startled and slightly flustered face was one that he would love to see more of. Especially if I'm the cause... He frowned. He had tried to stop these thoughts. They were dangerous.

"What about sex?"

It slipped out. But, Hiei never showed his astonishment, but savored Botan's moment of uncertainty. Her face smoothed over, and she reminded Hiei of a vice principal, not acting unless provoked. He'd do the provoking.

"What about it?"

"Are angel allowed to do it?"

She paused.

"Not that it's any of your business, but I trust you." She drew in a long breath. "We are, only if it is in the act of love. If not..."

She trailed and Hiei wanted to know what happened!

"What, onna?"

"We disappear, become non existent." She smiled sadly at him. "Poof, gone, just like that."

Hiei fell silent, not wanting to make her angry. That's extreme. That's not fair! So what if they weren't 'in love'?

During this tense silence, Botan continued to move backwards, and she tripped. It was all moving slowly, like they were on a movie set and the special effects were making it go extra slow. Hiei saw the broken bottle, and Botan didn't. Holding her close, Hiei closed his eyes and brought them somewhere. All he had to do was think of a soft landing, and they were already there.

IX

Botan was startled at the demon's closeness to her. Her heart was hammering, and her cheeks felt warm. That was when they landed softly. Botan recognized the texture. It was sand. Very soft, fine sand.

"Thanks."

It was barely a whisper. Botan had to thank him. It was courtesy and polite, but he also deserved it.

"Hn. Have any angels disappeared?"

Botan didn't want to answer the question. But, she also knew that she had to tell someone, even if that someone was Hiei. A demon. A demon that was her equal.

"Yes. We do not speak of them. It's an embarrassment to us." Her expression was dark, and pained. "She was my friend, and it was a mistake. She never wanted to go that far, but she did. Kurama... he... he must have found a way to get around it... he's still here, and she's not."

Hiei's eyes widened.

"Who was it?"

"Her name was Shizuru."

She started crying. That was why she didn't like Kurama. He used her, and afterwards he feigned to be depressed. And now he was after her. It kept her up at night, worrying that one day he would just force himself on her, and afterwards she would be gone.

X

Hiei felt his vision blur at the mention of Kurama's name. He was loathing him more and more now that he knew that. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt her cry, more importantly, inhale. He was still on top of her, and she hadn't asked him to get off.

The sight of her tears did many things. He wanted to... comfort her? Impossible, demons don't have desires to do that! And then, after that emotion, there was the one from his dream. Not lust, he knew that one well, but the need to... stay with her. To make her his.

His eyes closed, and he tried to move off of her. He willed his body to obey, but it defied him. His eyes ran red as blood, and his body got hotter, inside and out.

"Hiei?"

Hiei could barely hear her. The blood was pounding in his ears. Stop it! You can't do it! You'll break the very foundation of the Holy Laws! You can't have her!

Demons are like small children when it comes to having things. The more you say that they can't have something, not only do they want it, they'll do anything to get it. Hiei's mind knew what was right and wrong, and he knew he could not even think about touching her in a sexual way.

But his subconscious knew what it wanted. And all it wanted was Botan to be his forever.

With a frustrated cry of defeat, Hiei's lips crashed onto Botan's. His tongue licked at her lips. She tasted even better than his dreams depicted. Not too sweet, like candy, but an addicting taste that made you keep going for more.

Hiei was slightly annoyed at how she wouldn't open her mouth, but he would get his way in the end. We have all night... Botan will be mine!
