Chapter 18

She was so damn hot walking home, it was just about unbearable. After the boys had come around all they wanted to know was what Hiei planned to do about it. Which Botan replied and I quote 'I don't know and I don't fucking care, Shizuru can you turn down the fucking heat it's making me crazy." She knew once she had said the 'F' word the baby was messing with her system. It wasn't like her to use such language, of course, that was before Hiei had gotten his teeth into her anyways. She found she did a lot of things she wouldn't normally do, like hate someone. That two had been a first for her, but now she was beginning to have feelings for the man. Ones she didn't care to have as it meant he had won her over. She growled at her front door throwing it open and smashing it against the wall. Slamming it shut, she ripped her cloths off throwing them as she stumped unhappy to the bathroom. "I can't fucking believe I have to PEE AGAIN!" She screamed wildly.

She began to cry because she didn't know what else to do. She was so angry with Hiei, herself, the baby and her friends; it was pushing all her buttons. And the heat was getting to her too. Hiei was built for this kind of heat, she was not, she need to cool off and fasted. Once done with peeing she turned on the shower to ice cold and stepped in. What was suppose to make her cool off only made it hotter. That was when it happened, she felt dizzy from the heat and not being able to stop herself, she fell out of the shower hitting her head on the sink before crashing to the ground. She had pulled the shower curtain down with her which she now laid in a tangled mess with. "Owww" She cried out as she laid there.

The light from the door way dimmed as a small finger appeared. She couldn't see what was going on because her vision was all blurry. She felt someone picking her up off the floor and carrying her to her living room. She didn't know if the water was off or not, but she could careless as she laid her hot head on someone's shoulder. Finding her voice she whispered one word "Hot" She felt herself being placed down on the sofa. A soft male voice spoke tenderly to her.

"I know women I am going to fix that. Just lie still it might hurt a bit." His soft hands ran over her belly and she felt a sudden jolt of pain there. It scared her she was afraid for the baby that grows there. She tried to push the hand away, but who ever it was stopped her. "Don't fare I am not hurting the baby I promise." She knew that voice it was his voice. She didn't love him, she didn't like him, but she trust him enough to know he wouldn't hurt their child. After two or three minuets the pain stopped and she felt cold off. Her head still hurt like a bitch though. "You're dehydrated women; you need to drink some water." Botan tried to sit up, but Hiei stopped her. "Just tell me were the glasses are and I'll get it." She pointed to the dish washer and within seconds she had a glass of cold water. Hiei helped her sit up to drink it. She closed her eyes for a moment to clear her head and fix her eye site. Opening them again she looked back to see Hiei's red worried eyes looking back at her.

She liked it when he worried about her; it proved that on some strange level he cared about her. She pushed the thought away. She wasn't going to let him win, she didn't love him, she could never love him. He was an evil bastard that would kill his friends if he thought they were in his way of something. Of course he could kiss her in such away she would forget about that in a flash. Trying to get her mind of his hot lips she glared at him. "What did you do?" She snapped feeling the anger form before. He was unfazed by it as he just sat there with an emotionless expression on his face.

"The baby was cold it didn't like it so it made itself hot, making you hot. The more you tried to cool off. The more it tried to heat you up to keep warm." He raised an eye brow as if asking if she understood. She crossed her arms and 'Hmffed' at him as he had done so many times to her. "I filled the whom with warm sprit energy making the baby happy and stopping him form heating you up anymore." Botan looked down at her

belly feeling kind of bad for being mad at her unborn child. She jumped when Hiei put his hand on her head. "That's a nastily cut women" Botan didn't know what came over her she practically jumped him at that moment. Kissing him deeply as if her life depended on it. She rubbed her body against his desperately trying to feel if he loved her. But all she felt was him getting turned on. She pulled herself off him quickly getting to her feet to make haste to the kitchen.

"I am going to order out do you want anything?" She asked grading the phone book to look through it. She heard him growl something from the sofa before sitting up and snapping.

"Get whatever; if I'm hungry I'll eat it." Botan dialed a pizza place and order two egg plant sandwiches and side salads. She then went to her bathroom to turn off the water he had left on and pick up the shower curtain. She put on her bath rude while she was in there. She then put a band aid on her cut Hiei had pointed out. Of course what she was really doing was trying to stay away from him. She felt very conflicted about her feeling for him. On the one hand she hated what he had done to her. Backing her into a corner and forcing her to be his mate. On the other hand she loved his touch, his voice, the way it felt to be held in his arms and mostly his soft kiss that made her quiver all over. She had decided to tell everyone it was his baby yes, but she had never really decided how she felt about him. When there was a knock on the front door she went to answer it and he growled at her for not wearing more cloths then a bath rude. Her reply was to answer the door and pretend like she didn't hear him.

With food in hand and the delivery girl paid, Botan sat down at the kitchen table. After a bite Hiei joined her, taking hold of the salad he ate quietly. They both ate wordlessly for about a half an hour.

When Hiei put down the egg plant and looked start at her. He had a demurred look on his face that made Botan feel as if she should run for the hills. "I want you" was all he said before leaving the table to go to the bed room. The truth was she wanted him sexually too. But as she walked up the stair she began to fill with that awful anger again. She told herself she didn't have to do this just because he wanted her to and now was the best time to tell him just how she felt. Hiei was still fully clothed as she entered the room. He was just sitting in the chair he had spent 5 days in with that look on his face.

Botan felt safe knowing the man wouldn't do a damn thing to her that might hurt his baby. Standing up strait and tall Botan glared at him with fire in her eyes. "I hate you" She hissed from across the room,

Hiei seemed unmoved by this and simply replied.

"You're my mate." In a tone that said I own you and she hated it. She hated feeling like a toy he could just take out and play with anytime he damn well pleased. Well enough is enough she told herself.

"I maybe your mate Hiei, BUT YOU ARE NOT MINE!" She snarled pointing a sharp finger at him. "GET THE HELL OUT AND DON'T COME BACK IN LESS ITS LIFE OR DEATH!" She screamed at the top of her lung before grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him. "I am not a fucking toy you can play with whenever you feel the mood. NOW GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!" She closed her eyes for just a second and when she opened them he was gone, her window was open and a cool wind blowing in was whispering 'You won'.
