Keiko jumped up when Hiei and Botan appeared at the door of her home. She opened the door and stepped aside as Hiei walked in with a sleeping Botan on his back.

"Here, I'll lead you to her room." Keiko said as she walked up the stairs, Hiei following. Botan let out a sigh and snuggled into his back, mumbling something. Keiko smiled at her and Hiei just rolled his eyes. Keiko opened the bedroom door and let them in. "If you need anything I will be downstairs or two doors down.

Keiko walked away and back down the stairs while Hiei took Botan into the room. He shifted around she was in his arms. He put her down on the bed and sat down on the window sill. He looked around in the dark room, for nothing in particular, just out of boredom. His eyes stopped once they returned to Botan.

Her blue hair was spread out after the rubber band came out on their trip there. Her mouth was slightly open and she was snoring slightly. One of her hands had rested on her stomach and the other was in her hair. She turned away from him to her side and grumbled something.

He turned back to looking out the window at the night sky. The clock by the bed said that it was 2:29 so it was more like the early morning sky. His mind drifted to earlier to the shooting star that Botan had pointed out. His wish would never come true. He looked over at her again. `Wonder what she wished.' He thought. `Maybe I should take a peak.' He thought as he started to remove his bandana from his third eye. `Don't think she will mind.' A smirk appeared. `Now what was her wish?'

He searched through her mind till he came upon her thoughts from earlier.

`I wish that Hiei would find peace and be happy.' Hiei shot back to reality.

"What the hell?!" he said. "Why wish for that?" he asked as he looked over at her. "Why wish for me?" he said quietly. He sighed and looked back out the window. "I will never understand you Botan."

Kuwabara was pissed.

He had been left with an evil, outlawed, and dangerous demon. The freak was a lot of trouble for him and he nearly let him escape a few times. He had called Yuskue a few times but he had yet to return to the monastery to take the demon away.

So here he was, with an evil demon, in a monastery surrounded by monks that where giving him a strange look. "Who is this?" a monk asked.

"I think they said his name was Tyne or something." He told the monk. The monk nodded and turned away.

He turned back to the man. "It is hard to think that such a man would pretend to be a man of God, and then turn out to be an evil man." He said. Tyne looked up at the sky before snorting. Kuwabara let out a heavy sigh.

"A lot of things are hard to believe now days." He told the monks.

"Kuwabara?" Yuskue called from the entrance. Kuwabara turned around and frowned.

"Finally! What took ya?" Kuwabara asked annoyed.

"Keiko had a talk with me." He said as he looked at the demon. "Well, lets get this guy back to spirit world." He said.

Botan stirred in her sleep and turned onto her other side. She let out a scream when she saw a shadowed figure in the corner of the room. His piercing red eyes stared over at her. "H-Hiei?" she asked scared.

"Hn." Was all he said. Botan let out a sigh of relief.

"Where are we?"

"Keiko's."

"Why are you still here?"

"I want to be."

Botan looked at him before getting out of the bed and stretching. She looked over at the clock and sighed.

8:24.

"Let's get some food."

"You do know I don't eat."

"Yea, but sometimes I know you do…like that ice cream, or as you call it, sweet snow." She said slyly.

"How did you find that out!?" he exclaimed.

"I have my ways." She said with a smirk.

Hiei grunted and got up. "You can at least get something to drink." She said as they exited the room. Hiei just followed her down the stairs to the kitchen.

Keiko was sitting at the table looking into her coffee swirling it around and not noticing them as they came in. "Keiko?" Botan said as she put a hand on her friends shoulder. "Are you ok?"

Keiko jumped a bit when Botan put her hand on her shoulder and looked up. "Oh, good morning, I guess I just dozed off."

"Shouldn't you be getting ready? You do have school today." Botan pointed out.

"Yea, I just couldn't sleep last night and am tired. I should go. School starts at nine today." She said as she sat up dusted off her clean blouse. "See you later." She said as she grabbed her bag by the door and left to school.

"I wonder if Yuskue is going to go to school today." Botan wondered as she poured herself some coffee. "Do you want some?" she asked as she took a sip from the mug. He looked at the coffee and back up at her.

"No."

"If you say so." She said after taking another sip. Hiei opened up the freezer and let a smirk come onto his face. "Oh, and there is some ice cream in the freezer." She said when he pulled out the ice cream and grabbed a spoon from the drawer. She smiled as he pulled the top off and dug in. "Enjoy." She told him as she sat across the table sipping her coffee and watching him. Hiei didn't seem to care at the time as he stuck a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth. Botan smiled and put her mug down.

"So…what are you doing today?" she asked once he put the spoon down.

"Nothing," he replied.

"Same here."

"Hn."

"Want to do something?"

"No."

"Well, to bad."

Hiei let out a sigh. `Well he didn't have anything better to do.' "What are you going to make me do?" he asked as he put the lid back on the ice cream.

"I don't know. How about just walk around? I haven't been to the park for a while and I bet you are missing your `home'." She said as she put the ice cream in the freezer."

"Whatever."

Botan walked over to the closet and pulled out a jacket. "They say it's going to rain again." She told him as she slipped on the purple jacket. He just nodded and waited for her by the door. `Maybe I can get some training in.' he thought as they left the house. Botan grabbed a key and put it in her pocket after she locked the door. "Ok! Let us go!" she said happily as she rushed into the street and across into the park.

Hiei looked at the sky and at the cloudy weather. `Stupid rain.'

Botan looked around at the empty park. At this early hour not a lot of people were there, most at work or school. She hugged her jacket to her as a wind started to pick up. She felt some water land on her nose and she looked up. `OH, please don't rain too much, it just rained.' She thought as she put the hood over her head. "Hiei?" she yelled trying to find him.

He wasn't anywhere nearby so she assumed he was by his tree. "Ok…Now which one is his tree?" she thought as she looked around at all the trees. "Hmm. Find the bench." She said as she looked for it. "Ah! Now it's that way." She said pointing behind in. She walked into the large tree area and looked up at all the trees. She squealed a few times when a bird or squirrel flew or jumped away.

"You know that you are really loud."

Botan jumped and spun around. "Hiei?! There you are, I've been looking for you!" she said putting on her cat face. Hiei rolled his eyes and jumped back into his tree.

"Well, you found me, now what do you want?" he said closing his eyes and leaning into the branch. Botan scratched her head. What was she going to say again?

"Um…I forgot?" Hiei opened an eye and glared at her. He closed it and sighed as the rain started to pour down. "OH! I remember!" she yelled making him jump a bit at her loudness.

"And?" he said after she didn't continue.

"Can you get me home? If I walk I'll get wet and sick and you are faster and can do that in seconds compared to my minutes." She said looking up at him with her now purple eyes.

"Hmmm…" Botan looked up with hope. "No." Her face fell.

"But it's cold."

"No."

"And wet."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"But Hiei-"

"What will it take to make you shut up?"

"A ride." Hiei glared at her before jumping off the branch and landing behind her. Botan spun around and smiled.

"THANK YOU!" she said in a sing song voice. He simply hned and turned around letting her get on his back.

-A few seconds later-

"Now get off."

"You are unhappy today." She said as she stood in the rain in front of the house. She put her hand in her pocket to get the key. "Hm. Maybe the other one." She mumbled as she looked in the other pocket. "Um…" she said as she looked at Hiei. "Can I have another ride?" she said sheepishly.

"No." was all he said as he disappeared.

"Darn." She said as she looked around her for the lost spare key. She sighed heavily as she started to walk under the porch to under the overhanging roof. "Who lives nearby other than Hiei?" she thought as she sat down. "Who isn't at school?" she thought again.

"Yuakue is at school, so is Keiko, Kuwabara, Kurama, hmm…Oh! What about Yukina." She jumped up. "But she is all the way over at Genkai's. That is a few hour walk! And my oar is broken!!" she cursed as she got up and pulled her jacket together tighter. "Well, better start or I'll get sick." She mumbled as she started walking down the sidewalk in the direction of Genkai's. All the while she cursed Hiei for not helping her.

Little did she know that he was helping her, in a way. He was jumping tree to tree following her as she went. If he knew her well enough she always got into trouble when she was alone and got him into trouble also. And that is also a reason why he had become her keeper.

Botan sighed as she reached the edge of town. Her jacket was really wet and the water soaked through. She shivered and started to into the woods and climb the huge hill that led out and into even more woods, she didn't even notice the shadowy red eyed demon that followed her as she went. She only felt the shiver go up her back that you get when you fell like someone is watching you, but every time she turned around she was met with a tree or bush or something like that.

Botan stopped when she heard a twig snap, and so did Hiei. `That wasn't me.' They both thought.

"Hello?" Botan asked into the darkness. Hiei also waited for the answer. "I-is anything or um…anyone there?" she asked again with her voice rising a bit. Hiei jumped off of the tree in front of her. "Oh! Hiei, it's only you." She said with relief.

"That wasn't me." He said as he looked around with his jagan. He stopped behind Botan, he grabbed her arm and moved her behind him. "Don't move." He said as he pulled out his katana. Botan shivered as she heard a chilling laugh. Out of the tree came a vampire like demon.

"Welcome to my turf!" he said in a heavy accent you hear come from vampires in the movies. "And I do believe you were not invited." He said as he moved a wing sending strong and powerful winds their way. Hiei grabbed Botan and jumped into a tree. He put her down and jumped to the forest floor.

"I came uninvited." He said as he lunged at the vampire. The vampire jumped up and stuck out his clawed feet before getting Hiei in the stomach. Botan jumped and yelped in the tree and clutched it as she almost fell off. She moved over to the trunk and clung to it as to not fall on the after shocks of the next attack.

Hiei looked up when he heard her yelp up in the tree, and so did the vampire as he jumped in her direction. Hiei also did, only faster. He appeared before her, grabbed her, and jumped away to the floor. The vampire landed gracefully and glared at them. "I do not like trespassers!" he hissed as he lunged at them again. Botan cowered behind Hiei and waited for the blow, only it didn't come.

After about twenty seconds she looked over Hiei's shoulder to see that he was gone.

"W-what happened?" she asked as he put his katana back on its hilt.

"He is gone. Extremely slow too. He might have lived it he could have seen me attack." He told her. Botan didn't see it either and she blushed and thanked him.

"Thank you Hiei." She said with a slight bow. "Hey! Wait, were you following me?! And if so why didn't you help me?!" She said as she started to think more about it.

"I don't have to explain myself to you." He said as he dusted off his clean shirt. Botan sighed.

"Can you at least give me a ride?" she asked him looking hopeful. Hiei looked at her a moment before turning away from her and letting her get on his back. "Thanks." She whispered as he rushed off in the way of the temple. He just nodded and stopped a few seconds latter. Botan shivered as she felt all the water had been dried off of her at the speed he ran. Now getting freshly wet. She ran over to the entrance and tried opening the doors. She panicked as they to where locked. She knocked and kicked on the door waiting impatiently waiting for someone to open up.

"Hey Hiei, is your sis leaving today or something?" she asked. Hiei was glaring at her when she heard a gasp. She turned to see Yukina standing at the door with a hand on her mouth.

"H-Hiei is my brother?!" she yelled.
