Hiei's Love

Chapter 10: Gray Force

An awkward silence filled the atmosphere. Kurama stared into Botan, their eyes unwavering.

'Oh, dear! What have I done now?' Botan turned a deep crimson as she turned her head away, trying not to look into Kurama's emerald eyes. Her eyes welled up into tears, but she didn't want them to fall.

'Please, tell me she didn't say that...Please tell me she didn't...' Kurama shook his head slightly, the red hair slapping him across the cheek.

"L-look, um...Kurama..." Botan managed to say, choking slightly on the lump in her throat. It got harder to speak as the lump became bigger. They still stood, doing nothing, but settled their eyes on something, not saying a single word. Suddenly, Botan moved, her legs bringing her to the door on Kurama's right. Her head was low, blue bangs hiding her tear streaked eyes. Botan didn't care about anything. Sadness filled her heart so much, she didn't care about life itself. She let the tears fall, hitting the tiled floor as she walked past him.

'No...' Kurama's eyes looked confused. As Botan past by him, he grabbed her waist and flung her into his strong arms. Her eyes had a look of confusion as she asked herself what was going on.

"Kurama...I thought-" she began. He placed his right index finger on her soft lips, silencing her. His eyes stared lovingly at hers as she suddenly started forming tears. Confused, he asked, "Why, Botan, why?" She sniffled for a while before responding. "I thought you didn't return the feeling back...it hurt so much when I said it and you didn't say anything back." Sheturned her head sideways, strands of blue hair failling from her ponytail.

"That's not what it seems.." Kurama whispered in her ear, "I love you, Botan." Botan felt the empty pit of sadness leave her. She smiled sweetly as him, happy and alive again.

'That's the Botan I know...' Kurama smiled at her as he lifted her up. As she was coming down, their lips touched each other as they were drawn into a world of their own. Kurama's tongue slipped through her mouth, and went into hers, tasting her. Then, with a bit of mischief, Botan's tongue fought his as they still kissed. They eventually were both worn out, so they gave up. They stopped kissing and went to check on Ryuichi, hand in hand a Botan rested her head on his shoulder.

'Ahh...Kurama...'

In The Library...

"hmm hmm hmm... hmm hmm hmm.." Kuwabara hummed "Hohoemi no Bakudan" to himself as he was still looking. Hiei combed through his hair as he picked a gazillion books at a time, then shoving it back in.

"Hiei, calm down." Yusuke said sternly, "We'll get her back, I promise." As this was said, Hiei nodded as this time he gently placed them back on the shelf neatly. All you heard was "hohoemi no Bakudan" as they still searched the library, and in that particular section.

"Kuwabara, shut up." Yusuke irritatedly scratched his head."I really don't wanna hear the theme song right now." Kuwabara shrugged as he stopped.

"Did you guys find anything?" George whispered, as he was sneaking behind one of the bookcases close to Yusuke.

"Nope." Yusuke popped. (A/N: popped means to say it really fast, almost liek a 'popping' sound.)

"Z...Zaark...Zabna...Zabry..." Kuwabara continued, tracing his index finger around the binding of the book. "Aha! Zaro!" The three turned to look at him.

"Is it really it?" Hiei asked as he quickly came across from him, reading the book.

"GEOOOORGGGGEEEE!" Koenma screeched. George shivered as he turned around, and there was his royal highness or pain-in-the-ass, pissed as ever.

"Uh-oh." George whimpered as he sped even faster than Hiei, who didn't seem too interested. Yusuke walked over, hands in his pockets like usual, seeming not-too-interested. Hiei took a quick glance.

"So this is it, huh?" he asked, eyebrow arching.

"Uh...I guess so." Kuwabara replied plainly. Hegave the book to Hiei but he opened it. A sudden burst of powerful demon energy cam out of the book, blasting them away from it. Hiei and Yusuke landed with one knee up while Kuwabara fell face-down. No one looked amused at the moment.

"That's some kick ass energy." Yusuke commented.

'We're dealing with some powerful. WAY powerful.' Hiei squinted.

Kurama and Botan...

"So, how is she?" Kurama asked, trying to see more. "Can't we just-"

"No." Botan shook her head. "We can't go in or else we'll be affected too."

"But she doesn't have any infection." Kurama implied, looking into her eyes as she pulled his arm.

"You see," Botan continued,"the powder I put in the corners of the rooms are toxic to us, not to her since she's lying on the bed.". Kurama sat next to her.

"So if we take just one little step in.."

"Bingo." she said solemnly,"we'd all be history." Silence filled the two of them again.

"She's alright though, ne?" Kurama asked, still looking through the window. Ryuichi's pale, motionless face and body, freaked him out.

'I don't know what I'd do, if she was unhealable. Hiei would go ballistic on me.' he thought in his mind.

"Come on," Botan hugged him from behind, her small hands touching his chest. "let's go check on the others." Kurama nodded, as he left first, followed by Botan. Botan took one last glance, and then left.

'Ryuichi..!'

In The Library...

"Yusuke! Hiei! Kuwabara!" Koenma and George yelled through the unsettling force. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Yusuke answered, not trying to look through the force, his brown eyes glared at the grayish force.

"This is the demon energy?" Kuwabara asked, coughing.

"Why are you coughing?" Hiei asked, slightly turning his head around, but the crimson eyes did not leave the force. "There is no dust." Kuwabra looked at himself, feeling embarrassed.

'Oh..' he thought, trying to make an excuse. He found the perfect one. "What if I like to cough?" he asked him.

"Whatever." Hiei shrugged off the remark as he focused back on the gray ish force.

"So...uh...anyone wanna tell us what it is?" Yusuke stared at it, its color and energy so unsettling.

"What book did you open?" Koenma asked, as he and George, circled around it, joining with the reikatantei.

"What happened?" Botan gasped. Her face was in bitter shock as Kurama carried her to the group. He set her down, as Kurama asked also.

'Is it the book?' Botan thought, her face stricken with shock.

"The one that said Zaro." Kuwabara replied, telling himself that he shouldn't have opened the book.

"Oh, well then that's okay." Koenma broke a sweat. He sounded relieved. So did Botan.

"What?" Yusuke and Kurama asked. "What do you mean?"

"Fire spirit energy at it." Botan commanded them. They all stared at her, weird-like wondering what the hck she was talking about.

"If you want to know why, shoot!" Botan hurried impatiently.

"Alright, alright," Yusuke took a step froward. The other backed away, watching him. He focused his spirit energy in his fist.

"Shotgun!" Yusuke aimed it at the forced, turning it into blue, like his energy, Soon, the gray disintegrated into the blue, as they both disappeared. There underneath it, was the book, eerily opened to th first page.

"Well...?" Yusuke asked as they all carefully tooka closer step as it, like they were expecting a demon to emerge from the old, yellow pages. Nothing happened. A few more steps. Still nothing happened. Soon they were right next to it.

"Oh for crying out loud!" Botan broke the silence as she went ahead and picked the book up. She started to read it, and then her round pupils turned to slits as she dropped the book to the floor. She was speechless, as she didn;t move, her eyes fixated on the page.

"Botan!" Kurama yelled as he picked the book up, and his eyes, also stared, horrified at what he saw.

"What is it, fox?" Hiei asked, concerned about his friend.

"Her." he pointed.

"No..." Hiei muttered. "It's not possible."

"It is possible. Actually very possible indeed."
