Forbidden Love : Sinful Creatures

A/N: Hey! Thanks for reviewing! I swear that this story has been taking up so much space in my mind! Social Studies is so boring I'll start thinking about what should happen next in Forbidden Love . Sit back and enjoy the romance of Hiei and Botan! Read and Review!

I

Botan looked around. Her house was new. It was like it had never burnt down. But there was a flaw. The fire that Hiei had caused brought consequences. Angels were worried that the evil in Botan's house was out of control. The angel looked up at the flashing red light in the corner of the room.

That device. That wretched thing. Kurama had suggested it. Like he was such a hero. If Hiei comes within a mile distance of this thing it will start its own defense system. Botan crossed her arms.

It had been two weeks. Two painful weeks. She still remembered squeezing Hiei's hand before he left. She remembered how he rubbed his thumb against the palm of her hand in return, his claw tickling her.

Maybe I'm going crazy. Yeah, that's it! I'm not really missing him, and I certainly don't care whether Keiko arranges another meeting with Lucifer. A few seconds passed. COME ON! It's been two weeks! There has to be something that is going on in the world that requires them to meet!

The Advocate threw her pillow across the room, screaming like a small child. Her house still had silence spells on it, so it didn't matter. That was when she heard a voice. A voice that made her blush and one that made her smile.

The one voice that should make her tremble in disgust. A voice that she should consider dangerous.

Calm down, onna. You'll attract unwanted attention.

Botan felt her entire head turn scarlet.

I have sound wards, you know!

Hn. Whatever.

There was a silence, but Botan knew that he was still in her mind. It was hard to explain, but it was like a tingling at the very back of her brain.

What do you need?

I don't need anything.

Okay...

Botan sighed. How else was she supposed to respond to that?

Are you okay? Is your house still in ruins?

His voice was flat, but the urgency in his words made the angel smile faintly.

My house is fine. They rebuilt it, but they installed sensors so that all evil that enters my house has a limit. A silence was all that she got in return, so she elaborated. If you come in, the house will have many defense tactics activate and the entire realm of Heaven will know that you are here.

That's nothing, onna. I can easily disarm them.

Botan smiled. His confidence was heard even through telepathy.

That won't be any good if the whole neighborhood sees you.

There was another silence. Botan could feel his nervousness. Something else was eating away at him.

What about Kurama? Ah, that was it. Botan wasn't sure what she should tell him. Baka onna, tell me everything.

Botan bit her lip, fighting back the urge to scold him.

He was the one who wanted the extra security sensors installed. I don't think he suspects anything...

Botan frowned. That little notion had been making her loose sleep for these past few nights. What if he knows that Hiei's a demon? Her pink eyes were half closed as she relaxed. That was when Hiei sent her a thought.

Go somewhere. Anywhere. I'll find you.

Botan blinked.

Why don't you just pull me to you? You did that before with Yukina in London.

That was before Kurama saw my face in the bar. If I pull you somewhere, the sensors could pick up my presence, and Kurama could easily track us.

Botan shuddered at the thought.

Okay. See you soon.

Hn.

II

The First Advocate of Hell had done everything imaginable to keep himself busy for those two weeks. He worked out, which was normal, but he pushed himself harder, demons three times the size of him shaking their heads in amazement.

He broke down Holy spells and altered around some Demonic ones to make them more endurable and efficient. But he still thought about her. Hiei even sparred with Yusuke. That's how antsy he was.

He punched his Master in the face, trying to get her face out of his mind. It took a few moments to realize just what he had done. It was like one second he was running toward his Master, and the next Yusuke was sprawled on the ground, eyes wide with astonishment, one hand over his cheek.

"Hiei, chill out man!"

Yusuke opened his mouth, snapping a few bones into place. Hiei saw his Master's fangs, and he looked away.

"I apologize, Master. I got distracted."

Yusuke frowned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he was smiling smugly.

"No problem." He stretched a little. "It'll make me keep my guard up."

Hiei nodded half heartedly. So, with that, he gave it all he got, Lucifer catching most of his blows. Hiei, on the other hand, was not as good as Yusuke. He was the Devil after all. His ribs were broken and blood dripped out of his mouth.

"Let's call it a day, huh Hiei?"

Yusuke had a trail of blood that ran down his forehead and his body was covered in bruises. Hiei wanted to continue, but he did not want to cross his Master. Hiei walked out of the ring, and Yusuke surprised him when he slipped under him so that Hiei's arm was around his shoulder.

"You don't have to, sir..."

Hiei didn't want to be pitied. He looked into Yusuke's face, an impish grin shimmering back at him. Hiei rolled his eyes and walked back to his house. When demons saw the two walk out of the battle arena, chatter rose quickly.

"Check out Hiei! He's beat up pretty bad!"

"So, did you see Lucifer? Hiei did a number on him!"

Hiei ignored them. If the demons were as dedicated as he was then they would have no trouble sparring the one and only ruler of Hell.

"Hiei, get some rest. Ease your mind. Take a vacation. Do whatever."

Hiei was alone at his penthouse. His ribs were healing quickly and Hiei looked into a mirror as he cleaned up his face. He smirked, dried blood around his mouth cracking. You almost kill yourself fighting against Yusuke and you still can't get her out of your mind.

He hated her. He hated the way she cried. He hated how she kept smiling at him and treating him like an equal. He hated how her kiss still made him shudder with want. He hated her so much he couldn't stop thinking about her. Worrying about her.

So he called out to her. He was washing out his mouth at the time. When he entered her mind he winced at her scream. For a flash his heart stopped. He thought she was in trouble. Then he recognized the snarl of a frustrated child. Baka...

She seemed to be okay. The sensors were an annoying set back. Set back to what? Hiei pondered as he told her to pick a place to go. She agreed just as he finished tying his tie. Hiei took a few breaths. Why am I even doing this? This makes no sense, just forget about her! It's a good thing that Yusuke hasn't met with God! Hiei hissed as he found Botan's location with his Jagan Eye. That was the problem. He couldn't forget about her.

Hiei set up some wards. He didn't know why, but he only put up his own design. Not even Lucifer knew of their existence. The demon walked around his apartment, checking to make sure that everything was okay. His red eyes gazed out the window, over the wasteland occasionally dotted with clubs. With that, he disappeared.

It was raining. The skies were gray and no one was outside even in the urban city of New York. Botan smiled as she inhaled the moist air. She was in her white summer dress and she shivered. Maybe I should have brought a coat. She had a black umbrella and she walked slowly down the street, the rain silencing her footsteps.

"Here."

Botan whirled around, surprised to see Hiei holding his black overcoat out to her. His face was impassive even as raindrops hit it, sliding down his flawless face. Botan took the jacket slowly, and then realized that the First Advocate of Hell was in the rain when she wasn't.

"Oh, sorry! Here, get under."

Botan flushed at her ignorance and moved the umbrella so it was over Hiei, squeezing them both under it. They walked. If they had been friends, or more importantly, be allowed to be friends, Botan would have told him how much she missed him. How it drove her crazy. Botan pulled his jacket on. She smiled at the fact that this was the second time that he had given her his jacket.

"Are you okay? Are you sure that no one suspects anything?"

Hiei was concerned, but Botan knew better than to think that it was all for her.

"I don't think anyone does. I haven't been subjected to observation, and I still have my position as First Advocate..." Botan felt her wall of strength crumble when she realized that she didn't know at all. "I-I have no idea what to do..."

Botan trembled as a few tears escaped her eyes. That was when two arms pulled her toward the demon. His arms. He didn't kiss her. He just allowed her to hold on to something. To hope, cry, and pray with him.

"It's okay. We'll be okay."

Botan smiled through the tears, even though he couldn't see it. She nodded but never let go of him.

"What if someone sees us?"

Botan felt his grip on her tighten, his entire body tensing. So he worries too...

"They won't."

They stayed like that, Botan struggling to hold the umbrella. When they separated, Botan saw a flicker of something in his eyes. Something that was dangerous. His hands went to the sides of her shoulders, and when she didn't try to move away, he kissed her.

STOP THIS! STOP HIM BOTAN! Botan sighed into his mouth, a soft moan escaping her pink lips. She swore she felt Hiei smirk against them before taking advantage of her open mouth. His tongue teased her and Botan gasped. I-I can't... stop...

The umbrella clattered to the ground, rolling away from them. Botan didn't notice until Hiei pulled back, smirking at her playfully.

"Baka onna..."

IV

Kurama followed Botan's energy as soon as she left. He had been in the middle of a very nice lunch, and it was difficult creating a good excuse for his departure.

He found himself in the pouring rain on the streets of New York City. He looked around. The streets were abandoned because of the weather. That was when he saw them. A blue haired woman, most likely Botan, and a shorter man. His black hair was darker than midnight. They were embracing, and when the pulled back, the man and Botan gazed at each other.

Then they kissed. Kurama had to stop himself from crying out in surprise. Now he wanted to know just who this guy was. Botan would not have him, but was making out with this... shrimp? It was not fair or logical.

Botan dropped her umbrella. It was hard for Kurama to see them, the rain cloaking them. That was when he swore he heard a dark humored voice cut through the rain. He couldn't make out the words, but it made him shiver. Who is this guy? An angel? Human, what?

Kurama then saw them disappear. Frowning he searched the Earth for them. His emerald eyes shot open. They were gone. Not anywhere on earth.

V

Hiei was a bit shocked when he felt the rain pouring down on them. He smirked. I am good. He loved how she didn't pull away and how she even responded to him. He also enjoyed the fact that he knew that this was her first real kiss.

He vanished, bringing Botan with him. Did he know what he was doing? Half of him did. It was a fact in the back of his mind, so he didn't pay that much attention. All he cared about was what was happening right now. And that was Botan pulling away to see where they were. When she did he saw her back away from and her eyes sweep back and forth. Before she could scream, Hiei put his rough hand over her mouth.

"Quiet! Take off your halo."

The desire was still in her eyes, but her surroundings were throwing her off. I don't blame her. She's the First Advocate of Heaven and now she's in Hell. She took off her halo, pushing it into her chest until it disappeared.

Hiei felt something swell in him when she did that. When she had given him her halo, he felt a wave of power flow around him, but his demon blood rejected the Holy forces. Whenever she concealed it or gave it to another, her power sharply decreased. Now she was very vulnerable and all her trust lay with him.

He took her through the wards, opening and closing them behind them. He struggled to open the door delicately, but it slammed, he was in such a rush. Botan barely had time to look around his house before she was being kissed harshly by the other Advocate. He was starting to lose all sense of being. All that existed was her and him.

He was lowering her to the bed when she finally talked.

"Hiei..." He stopped and his face was impassive as they both searched each other's eyes. "Hurry..."

The demon smirked and did as he was told. He cut away her dress and her hands fisted on his white shirt, ripping some buttons off. With that, Hiei laughed, and Botan looked up at him, her face bright red, innocent as ever. He shook his head as he shrugged off the remains of his shirt and joined her on his bed.

The rest of their time melted into cries of each other's name and pure pleasure.

Afterwards, Botan rested in Hiei's arm. He was perspiring a little, and he was having trouble keeping his red eyes open. He felt Botan shift so her arms were around him. He smiled, a real smile, and held her to him. Some things shouldn't be thought about. Hiei usually left after sex. He usually didn't enjoy it. He loved it with the angel onna. He didn't want to leave her. I'll never leave her. And with that last fleeting thought, the demon went to sleep.

VI

Kurama walked in Botan's house. It was clean, and the only movement was the flashing lights of the sensors that he installed. He searched all the rooms and found nothing. Then he stepped into her room.

Pillows littered the floor. He picked one up. It looks like she was throwing a bit of a tantrum. Then Kurama observed the sheets. There was a slight imprint of where she was. But then some of the blankets were strewn over the side. The angel frowned. She was going somewhere in a hurry. But why the sudden change of mood?

Only one question kept on resurfacing. Who is that man?

VII

Hiei woke up slowly. He inhaled and he smelled sweat. It wasn't bitter, but sweet. His arm searched for the other body that occupied the bed. It fell on cold air.

The demon sprang up so fast it was alarming. His boxers were the only thing that he had on, and his chest heaved as he searched the room. Where is she? Where is Botan? It was getting very hard to breathe and Hiei felt like his world was spinning. He looked down at his bed. It looked so desolate. Like she had just vanished.

"We disappear, become non existent. Poof, gone, just like that."

Hiei punched the wall. HIEI YOU BAKA! She's gone! It's all your fault! Hiei's knuckles were bleeding and self hatred coursed through him. You didn't deserve one speck of her. Not one once of her love, nothing. His throat was shrinking, making his eyes water. That was when he heard something. It was a whimper. Hiei's ears perked.

He ran, more like flitted to the bathroom. There, the door open, was Botan. She was on the floor. Her pink eyes were wide and she looked at her hands like they were strangers. She looked up at him, her voice fighting for control of her emotions.

"What have I done?"

She sobbed and Hiei felt his knees shake just at the sight of her. He was so relived that she was okay. That she was alive. He kneeled in front of her and she hugged him, pulling him closer to her.

"I-I thought you had disappeared."

His voice was so soft, he almost didn't recognize it. That was when her grip tightened.

"Why aren't I gone? I don't understand!"

Hiei pulled back and looked at her. She was wrapped in a bathroom towel, her dress destroyed from the other night. He opened a closet in the bathroom and pulled out a black silk robe. He avoided her gaze.

"Here."

Botan hiccuped, confused for a minute. Then she accepted it, slipping it on. She was biting her lip and Hiei saw a thin trail of blood trickle down from them.

"Hiei, why? I should be dead. Shouldn't I?"

Hiei gritted his teeth.

"Be glad that you aren't!"

Botan fell silent. Then her face paled. It seemed that she had come to a realization. She trembled as she tried to stand, and Hiei helped her up, steadying her. Hiei was still a bit shaky, his thoughts in a whirl from when he thought that she had gone. Disappeared, out of his life forever.

"What should we do?"

It was so quiet, like a defeated child who was dying. Hiei sighed his shoulders slackening.

"I don't know." He brought her to the living room and let her sit on the plush black couch. "When you want to go back to Heaven, make a trip to Earth first, or you will drag evil energy with you to Heaven." He saw her face, and when ever she moved her legs she winced a little. "You'll be sore for a day or two."

Botan nodded, sniffing. Hiei wiped her tears away with his thumb.

"Don't cry. Be strong. You'll get through this."

Botan smiled weakly and Hiei kissed her chastely, and with that she vanished. His eyes were still closed even after she was gone.

"She loves you, Hiei." Hiei spoke to himself. "What are you going to do about it?"

VIII

Botan was back in her room, and she cried into her pillow. Hiei's robe was still on her body. I-I love him! That's why I'm not gone... why? Angels and demons hate each other! A wail was heard throughout the house. I fall for the one man I can never have! She shook with agony as she shivered in her white sheets. She didn't feel dirty. What had happened was beautiful, but that was what scared her. It shouldn't be beautiful. It's an abomination!

The First Advocate of Heaven never left her house and she cried all day, not knowing what to do. She couldn't confess or she would surely bring shame to her kind and Hiei's. Everything that presented itself held terrible consequences.

"Hiei... help me..."
