Botan had been sleeping for hours. The clock next to the bed read seven o' nine. It went off at the usual time that it came on making her jolt awake. She reached out and slammed her hand on it making the annoying noise turn off.

Botan rolled over and buried her head in the pink pillow of Genkai's guest room. She pulled the purple covers over her head to block out the cold air coming through the window and onto her warm body that was now turning cold. She sighed as she came back out after getting to hot. She pushed the covers away and walked over to the window to shut it. Before she did though she looked out and saw a surprising picture.

Hiei stood in front of Nilgato talking to him about something. She pulled a chair away from the desk and put it in front of the window to watch. As she sat down Nilgato let out some kind of squeal and jumped up and down. Botan put a hand over her mouth to suppress the giggle in case Hiei heard it.

Nilgato and Hiei jumped in different directions before lunging at the other. Botan figured it was some kind of training or something. `Why would Hiei do something like this? It isn't like him. But then again I don't really know him.' Botan mused as she watched the two attacked the other. She gasped as Nilgato fell to the ground with Hiei's hand around his neck holding him to the ground.

Hiei heard her and looked up at the window. "Go to sleep woman! We are just training." He told her as he released his hold on the young demon. Botan sighed.

"No thanks. I think I'll just watch you guy's fight." She shouted at them. Hiei just shrugged and Nilgato waved up at her.

"Hi Botan! Hope you slept well."

"Thanks I did." She said as Hiei lunged at the boy.

"Lesson number five: Never let your guard down." Hiei said as he tossed Nilgato in the direction of the woods. He quickly bounced off of a tree and back at Hiei.

Botan blushed after she realized it was her who distracted him. `I'll make it up them with some food later. I wonder if Yukina is back yet?' she asked herself. `I'll ask Hiei when he done.' She concluded as she got up and moved the chair back to under the desk.

She opened her door and walked out in her wrinkled and torn Kimono. She looked down at her clothing and sighed. She didn't have anything else to wear and even though she knew Yukina would give her something she didn't want to do anything unless she told her she could, again. She walked down the stairs dragging her hand on the railing as she walked down them.

She walked into the kitchen to find it completely empty. She flipped on the light and looked around. She covered her mouth as she let out a long yawn and reached for the fridge. "Hm. No leftovers. Guess I'll have to cook something." She opened up a cabinet and pulled out some Ramen and turned the stove on to boil some water.

Soon after it was cooked she felt a gust of wind come into the room. She turned around to find Nilgato behind her looking hungrily at the food. "Hungry?" she asked him as she handed him a bowl. He grabbed it and rushed over to a drawer and pulled out a spoon and then ran over to the table and began to stuff his face. "I didn't think demon's ate a lot."

"We usually don't. But apparently he is an exception." Hiei said from behind her. Botan let out an `ep' before she turned around to see him.

"Morning!" she said as she grabbed a bowl and put some Ramen in it. "Want some?" she asked. He shook his head and walked over to the table. "Is Yukina here?" Botan asked.

Hiei sighed, which was strange for his character. "She is with that fool." Botan started to choke on the spoonful in her mouth. Nilgato looked confused, of course he was young, give him about five years when he turns twelve or maybe sooner. Botan blushed. Hiei glared at her. "They didn't do that!" he hissed at her. Botan blushed more.

"How do you know?!" she said once she pulled the spoon out of her mouth.

"I have my ways."

"Oh please don't tell me you watched her all night?!" she said getting up and glaring at him. "She needs privacy too ya' know!" Hiei glared at her and also rose.

"She is my sister! I will do what I can to protect her."

"Protect her!? That isn't protecting. That is what we people like to call invasion of privacy!" she said as she pointed a finger at him.

Hiei let out a low growl as he tried to contain his anger. "How dare you." He hissed.

"HOW DARE YOU." She said as she poked his chest at every word. Somewhere along the way Nilgato had left the room after realizing that he didn't want to get involved. Botan let out a huff and turned around to walk out of the room.

"Don't walk away from me!" Hiei called after her. Botan just kept walking till she came to the door that led out of the temple. Hiei rushed after her and pinned her to the ground. "Don't you ever walk away from me!" he hissed up next to her face. Botan was to angry to really think, something about him always got on her last nerve.

"I just did." She said. Hiei narrowed his eyes. It wasn't every day that he had someone defy him so easily and live. And yet here was a mere woman doing such things to him and she was still breathing. His grip on her arms tightened suddenly making her wince.

"Don't move, as soon as I get up stay behind me and don't do anything stupid." Botan was about to scream at him but was interrupted by a familiar voice, a voice that made her heart nearly stop in fear.

"Well, well. If it isn't my two best friends?" a taunting voice from above said. Botan looked over Hiei's shoulder to the sky and saw Nilo floating above them. Botan jumped behind Hiei as he got up. "Well, I do believe we have some unfinished business. I seem to not be able to kill you girl."

Botan let out a small whimper and attempted to run back into the temple but Hiei grabbed her wrist and pulled her back behind him. "I told you not to do anything stupid!" He hissed out at her. Botan bowed her head and clutched his upper arm while watching what Nilo did next.

"Aw! Now isn't this a pretty picture? I should take a picture…watch the flash." He said as he flew up to the sun and did something that made a bright light. Botan felt two arms circle around her and a hand clamp down over her mouth.

Once the light was gone Hiei looked up to see Nilo holding Botan up in the air. He reached down and grabbed the end of his Katana. Nilo just laughed and lowered himself closer to the ground. Instead of looking at Hiei thought he looked over his shoulder. A small smirk started to crawl onto his face.

"It seems we have a guest." He said. Hiei would have turned around but he already knew who it was. "Well, aren't you going to introduce us?" Hiei ground his teeth as Nilgato came up beside him.

"Who are you?" he asked Nilo. Nilo simply smiled at the boy before patting his head.

"What a lovely child. I didn't think that you could have such a thing." He said to Botan who blushed. Nilgato didn't really get it but shrugged.

"What are you doing to Botan?"

"Nothing child. Go to sleep." He said as he waved his hand, instantly making Nilgato fall to the ground into sleep. "Children are so easily controlled when it comes to there minds." Hiei pulled out his Katana and lunged at him.

Nilo rose higher.

"Leave the boy out of this!"

"Aw. So the daddy likes his boy? You don't seem like that kind of person. I can see you abandoning him. Did Botan make you keep him?" Hiei looked up as Nilo rose into the sky.

"Put her DOWN!" he hissed. Nilo chuckled before he moved to the roof of the temple. Hiei followed. "I said put. Her. Down!" He hissed as he raised the katana above his head and a dark aura surrounded it. Nilo's left eye twitched a bit.

"I don't think I want to!" He hissed making his spit go everywhere as he spoke. From in his arms Botan looked disgusted as some ran down her cheek. Hiei lunged at him with a yell swinging his sword before he got to them. Nilo arched an eyebrow and laughed closing his eyes as well.

"I think your aim is getting worse." Hiei rose up and smirked at him with narrowed red eyes.

"I think you are underestimating me." Nilo opened his eyes and looked at him confused. Slowly his eyes started to widen and he dropped Botan who instantly fell into Hiei's arms before he moved back away. Botan watched astonished as Nilo's arms fell off and onto the roof. She paled a bit when she figured out what was about to happen. She turned her head and looked to the ground, at Nilgato. She could here the same sickening sound of his body falling apart. Hiei nudged her shoulder making her look back at the roof where he once stood.

"I believe that he won't be bothering us for a long time."

"Hopefully never," she said as he jumped back to the ground. He put her down and she instantly ran over to the sleeping Nilgato. "Is he ok?"

"Only sleeping." Hiei said. Botan nodded and lifted the boy up. Hiei took him from her as soon as she stood up. Botan looked confused but let him go. The three walked into the temple and Hiei put him on the couch. "Let him sleep," he said once Botan joined them. "He needs to sleep some." Botan nodded and looked at the fluffy carpet.

"Is…Is Nilo dead?"

"You tell me. If he is you might have to take him to haven or hell." He said looked over at her. Botan swallowed and sighed. Koenma hadn't called her into work for a while and he might have to if more people were to die. That was something she hated. When ever she went to work, over 20 million had died. That was just how it worked. It wasn't like she hated her job. Oh no. She just didn't like doing it.

She looked back up to see Hiei still looking at her. She blushed a little and turned around. "I…I think I should go to Keiko's and see how she is and all so…yeah." Botan said as she summoned her oar and walked out of the house.

"What is wrong with you?" Botan jumped a bit before turning to him.

"It is nothing."

"Doesn't look like nothing."

"Yeah well it is nothing." She said as she got on her oar. She was about to take off but Hiei grabbed the end so she couldn't go anywhere.

"You plan on leaving us?"

"Huh? No. I will come back later." `He is acting strange.'

"Then bye."

Botan looked back at him as she took off. `Yes. Something is wrong with him.' She just shrugged and flew into the clouds where she wouldn't be seen. She smiled and laughed as she did a few tricks in the clouds. After having the ability to fly around for over ten years you get bored with just flouting around. After doing a few loops around in the air she decided to stop and to look around where she was. She lowered herself down a bit and shivered. "Guess I should have changed." She said as she looked down at the fields.

Smiling she decided she still wanted her vacation. If the others wanted her they had to come get her. Or more like Hiei would. It seemed as if she ever disappeared then he would come and make her go back to wherever she came from. She landed by a lake and put away her oar for another time. She looked down into the water to look at all the little fishes swimming around. She smiled as some looked back up to her with little bubbles coming from their mouths. Botan smiled and waved at them before she turned around to look at the woods.

"Hm. Should I go in the woods or to the portal near here to take me to a demon city." She smiled. "A demon city would be nice; I think there is a new one near the capital with friendly demons." She said to herself. A few brown birds landed at her feet and looked up at her curiously. Botan blushed and looked down at the birds. "Is it just me or are all you guys following me?" she said with a giggle. Looking back up at the clouds she blew some air out at her bangs making them move out of her eyes. She pulled the torn material from earlier off of her leg, where she put it hours ago, and tied her hair up in it. She smiled and watched as the birds flew away. "Ok. The portal is somewhere by a… oh what was it again, something blue?" She put a finger under her chin as she thought.

"AH! It is by the ancient blue temple thingy." She said as she ran off into the woods.

Nilgato woke up on a couch with a blanket over him. He lifted up his head to look around. The room had a smell of jasmine and apples. He got up to a sitting position on the couch and looked around through squinted eyes at all the light.

He got up and stretched and let his arms pop. He didn't remember much. Something about training with Hiei and then some strange guy holding onto Botan…he shot up and ran to the door. `Is she ok?' he thought as he looked around desperately for her. Hiei came up behind him and watched the boy run around with panic on his face.

"She went to visit a friend." He told him as Nilgato turned to him.

"Oh."

"Come with me." Hiei said as he turned and walked over to a big green shed. He opened up the wood doors and walked in. "Every now and then we have to cut the grass. These are fun." He said lying to the boy. He just didn't want to mow the yard. "You just pull this and off you go." He said pushing one at him. Nilgato looked at the machine and jumped once he got it to start.

Hiei watched him push the mower into the yard with a run. "Ok, there are fifty acres out there and with his energy is will take him…three hours. Hm…two hours less then the detectives record. Hm." He said as he walked back into the temple waiting for Yukina and Botan to return.
