Chapter eleven: In Heat!?...
Botan sighed...how did Yukina know that she'd wanted to talk with the her? Oh well... Moving further into the darkened house Botan took a seat on the couch with a thud, Yukina padded up and sat next to the azure haired woman.
"If your wondering, I figured it out because you kept staring at me, so I assumed there was something you wished to talk with me about." Well that answered her question, Botan nodded and leaned into the warm and soft pillows.
"Yukina, I...something happened with me and...well your brother." Botan gulped, why was she getting so nervous!?
Yukina nodded slightly and took Botan's hands in her own, squeezing gently, reassuringly. "Take your time..." Yukina soothed, sensing and seeing Botan's frazzled nerves and state of mind.
Botan gazed into the burgundy-wine colored orbs in which belonged to the dainty and polite Ice Appertain, she felt more relaxed and slowly continued.
"Well..."
The aroma of cigarette smoke, baked beans, hamburgers, chicken, and the freshly crisp scent of winter wafted about the backyard as the whole group huddled around, chatting about the old and the new.
Hiei was extremely irritated, not only was the "damn woman" not in his sight, and that in and of its self made him pissed and worried for some unknown reason, but the damned fox kept staring at him...oddly, almost knowingly.
What made him even more irked was that the damned fox was smirking secretly about something! Where was Botan!? Why wasn't she outside?
A glare.
His worst glare was set in place and anyone who got in its path would shiver and turn away, quite surprised and frightened by it.
Yusuke glanced up from his thumb-war with Kuwabara and noticed Hiei's chilling persona, the raven haired Spirit Detective was far from stupid and had been studying Hiei's demeanor since he was first with Botan, then alone.
He had found out that Hiei seemed to be calm and "happy?" with the blue-haired Deity. Yet when she had left his side, the Fire Demon seemed edgy and unnerved, also very-very pissed.
Yusuke chuckled softly, so did this mean that the Fire Demon was starting to understand his emotions with Botan, or...
Something though...something seemed off.
"Hey Yusuke?" Whispered Kuwabara quietly, leaning towards his partner. "I can feel something..."
Yusuke grinned, "What, that your brain..." Kuwabara threw his large hand over Yusuke's mouth. "Shut up Yusuke! Besides this is important!" Hissed the orange-top.
Yusuke rolled cinnamon orbs sarcastically, pulling Kuwabara's hand away from his face. "I'm serious. Something's going on between Botan and Hiei. Remember how I have a sixth sense?" Kuwabara muttered to Yusuke softly.
Yusuke nodded and agreed, now that he thought of it, crackles of something shifted in the air, it was very...electrifying?
Shizuru stopped in front of her brother, she had over heard there little conversation, and was quite intrigued. "Now that you mention it my stupid little brother. Ever since Botan and Hiei started to live with each other a few months ago."
"They seemed to be very...close, connected or something, but now it is way much stronger." Commented the hazel haired woman, both men almost fell backwards in their pathetic fright.
"What the hell!! Shizuru!? Don't scare us like that!!" Growled Yusuke, who again felt the familiar whap on his head, Keiko was back and with a vengeance.
"Yusuke..." She scolded sweetly, he just got up and tried to dust off his pants, yet the coat he was garbed in was a large and blue puffy coat, making him resemble a blowfish!! "You look so adorable like that Yusuke!! Just like a bigger version of Puu!" She giggled.
Yusuke grumbled something incoherent and sat back into his comfy lawn chair.
"Damn women...they're all crazy...!"
Yukina frowned, her head shaking in a disapproval, causing silken strands of turquoise to tremble and spider-web down her back. "He really doesn't know? I can't believe it." She murmured, burgundy-wine colored orbs dimming to a darker hue; she held Botan's hand in her own small pale ones.
Botan nodded; sighing inaudibly. "Yeah...but when he did bite me, he seemed different, well his eyes they were...black." She mumbled, shivering slightly from the hot and sensual memory. Yukina's frown almost became a smirk, well almost, for the Ice Apparition wasn't the type to mock.
"I understand now." She spoke: voice filled with a warm mirth, her eyes crinkled and she swatted Botan playfully. "He was in heat." She giggled.
Botan chocked on her own tongue, body going rigid. In "heat"!!? "What do you mean!?" Botan yelped, amethyst orbs wide and blinking rapidly. Yukina grinned, honestly amused. "I mean that he was in heat, his time to mate with a female."
Botan trembled, heart thumping about wildly. "But we...we never did 'it'!" She cried out, Yukina shook her head ruefully; smiling softly. "He was unaware of it, and either way did not want to hurt you...and his eyes were black you say? Well, I think that he's been suppressing his feelings so much that his subconscious took over."
Botan nodded slowly. That made sense. "So that's why he had no memory of it?" Yukina nodded her answer, Botan frowned one last time. "But why wouldn't he have seen it the morning after he bit me?"
Yukina looked out the sliding glass door, to find her brother leaning against a tree casually. "Did your clothing cover that one part of your body at that time?" Questioned the smart Apparition. Botan blinked thoughtfully. "Um...actually now that I think of it...the turtle neck was truly covering that part. And only that." Botan muttered the last part haughtily.
Yukina giggled and pulled Botan to her feet. "I think that you must tell him! He should know soon, or something bad could happen." Botan nodded, smiling thankfully when a stray thought sifted to her mind.
"Hey Yukina? Did you ever bite Kuwabara?" The Ice Apparition blushed crimson, her gaze fluttering to the floor. Botan chuckled candidly. "So you did bite him." Botan teased, Yukina started to mumble something when the door was slid open.
"There you guys are! Let's go eat! The food is ready." Keiko grinned, unaware that Yukina was flustered beyond belief.
Kuwabara rose a curious orange brow, watching as his wife stepped out of the sliding glass door; blushing like mad, and Botan was smirking. What on earth had happened in there!? "Yukina honey? Something wrong...?"
At the sound of her husbands soft and worried tone, her blush grew firmer and stronger. "Yes." She squeaked, Yuki ran to her mothers side and tugged at her large overcoat. "Mommy! I have to go to the bathroom." Yuki whispered, staring into her mother's eyes cutely.
Yukina smiled; picking up her daughter, they both retreated inside. Botan was suddenly bombarded with food. Keiko frowned, waggling her finger in front of the Deity's face. "You must eat something Botan! You are too skinny."
Yusuke was about to make a smart ass, idiotic, stupid, and dumb comment, only to find a hotdog shoved into his mouth. He gagged, falling out of the lawn chair, for what appeared to be the hundredth time.
All you need to know about what he was thinking of...it was...well... "damn squirrels and there trixines, and evilness".
Kurama silently approached the rigid and taut Fire Demon wearily, stopping a few feet away. "Hiei?" He asked politely, he was never one to be straightforward and outright nosey.
"Hn. What do you want fox?" He was never one to really beat around the bush, Kurama smiled; a gleam of mischievousness and a knowing-mocking mirth held to his molten emerald orbs. "I ee you've finally chosen."
Kurama spoke softly so that the other occupants of the yard did not overhear, Hiei's eyes widened in shock at the double meaning to the foxes words. "What are you talking about: 'finally chose'?" Demanded the Fire Demon darkly.
Kurama blinked in wonderment, a look of disbelief sketched upon his flawless face. "You mean you don't know!?" Kurama couldn't help but to raise his voice an octave higher.
Causing several people to turn towards them questioningly, and one of those people was a certain azure-haired Deity of Death.
"Well you should if you have someone as sweet and beautiful as Botan."
Hiei frowned, brows furrowed and orbs of crimson leaking a blackish hint. The fox was treading over a thin line, and Hiei didn't even know what it was himself.
Botan almost chocked on her chicken, but luckily Keiko patted her back, helping the Deity to swallow. She had overheard Kurama's statement. It could've meant something entirely different, but the thing was...it was all to close with the sticky little situation she was in.
Kurama must have sensed the change in their auras and assumed they'd tied the knot in Demon fashion. What he didn't know, or was learning right now, was the fact that Hiei became possessed by his subconscious.
And if her eyes were not playing tricks on her, Hiei's eyes were...they were becoming black!! Suddenly the katana that held her up was thrown out of her arms, causing her to crumple to the ground.
Botan bit her lips, drawing blood; her eyes were clamped closed, pain seared through her left leg and right foot. Botan whimpered lightly and steadily looked up, her pained pastel orbs glimmered with unshed tears and...widened with outmost surprise.
Hiei had just...he'd just stabbed...he'd just stabbed Kurama!? The fox stumbled backward taken completely off guard. He clutched at his would on his shoulders, streams of scarlet liquid soaking his hands and coat.
Hiei had lost all sane thought. Everyone was stunned to silence unsure of what to do. When Hiei began to raise his katana for another swing Botan knew she had to do something.
Forgetting about her injury's, she jumped up and sprinted across the yard, wincing and wanting to stop moving altogether. "Hiei!" Botan cried out...nothing though seemed to register in his mind.
Just as he was swinging downwards, Botan slammed against his towering figure with all her might. They hit the ground with a loud thud.
Everyone ran to Kurama's side immediately, Yukina burst outside and ran towards the scene. "Yukina heal Kurama quick!" Shouted Kuwabara in shock and fear. The Ice Apparition obeyed and kneeled down in front of the pale redheaded man.
Her hands hovered over the wound and began to glow, it seeped into his being, until the blood stopped. Kurama slowly started to gain back his natural skin color.
"Hey buddy you okay?" Questioned Yusuke worriedly, Kurama shook his head in affirmative, thank goodness Botan had moved Hiei out of the way. For Kurama was paralyzed, by someone unknown force, it had made his whole body burn.
Almost as if...as if he were surrounded by fire.
"Yes I'm fine." Shizuru helped to bring the fox to his feat, steadying him from falling. Everyone slowly turned around.
Twinkling brightly were the two tear gems in which were clasped around the Deity's left arm...Snow flakes of pure white sprinkled down to the earth, covering the land in its essence.
Botan buried her face within the crook of Hiei's neck, inhaling his intoxicating scent.
Exotic spices and Cinnamon.
Blanketing their forms, was a wave of azure tendrils...silken strands so soft and lush.
A warm liquid of perfect crystalline slowly rolled down Botan's porcelain cheeks; shoulders shaking. Sniffles soft and repetitive...Quietly lifting her head she gazed down upon his face...
Eyes of black staring at her eerily, not a single emotion portraying on his face, yet maybe calm...serenity would be the closest.
What had caused him to snap like that...?
Botan slowly began to realize the throbbing ache on her foot and leg, it was coming back with full force, punishing her for over stressing its bruised muscles. She bit her lip once more, drawing streams of scarlet liquid to drip down her chin.
To her surprise, Hiei leaned upwards and lapped up the blood, then he dove his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling sharply.
Vanilla and Blueberry's.
Botan shifted her foot and it accidently hit the roots of the large tree in the backyard, protruding from the ground.
Botan whimpered in her pain, body tensing...then a...a soft deep and warm purring sound resonated to her ears. It was like a thick wool blanket just draped around her shoulders and comforted her from the pain.
She gazed at Hiei and found that...
Hiei was purring!?
She would have fallen over if it weren't for the fact that she was already lying down, sprawled on top of the stubborn and moody Fire Demon.
Everyone's mouths fell agape at the obvious show of affection and tenderness that the Fire Demon was displaying for the Deity of Death. Okay something was seriously 'not' right!
Kurama blinked several times, then shook his head. He grinned...well no wonder the Fire Demon had attacked him!
It all made perfect sense!
He chuckled.
While everyone else just stood there, staring...resembling fish. Suddenly a squeaky sound erupted in the silent air.
The hair on the back of Yusuke's neck stood on end, his body shaking with a cold shiver...it was...it was 'them'!!
"The squirrels!" Yusuke yelped looking about himself apprehensively. Keiko frowned and threw her hand over his mouth.
Glaring.
"Shush Yusuke...or you'll ruin their moment." She growled.
Yusuke grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry 'dear'."
His hand wondered down too far.
SMACK!
"Ouch that hurt!"
