As he stared up at the night sky, Hiei was certain that the gods were laughing at him. All he wanted was to be left alone and perhaps be granted permission to go home for a time but the apparition knew it would be a cold day in hell before Koenma ever gave him what he desired. Why should he? The Reikai prince had a near perfect team at his beck and call. Cursing the day that he'd ever had the misfortune of being caught by the Detective, Hiei made his way deeper into the forest in hopes of getting away from one ferry girl who seemed to have a death wish.

Of course, he could outrun her any time he wished but with the detectors that Botan had been given there wasn't anyplace in the Ningenkai that he could escape from her. Eventually she would find him yet again and he'd be forced into participating in whatever the day's crisis was. It would be so much easier if he were to resign himself to the fact that he'd be risking his life yet again to save the human world but old habits die hard. There was no way in hell he planned on making this easy on her.

None of the others could understand why he despised her, none of them were willing to listen to his thoughts on the matter. It wasn't the girls looks, it wasn't even the fact that she worked for that pacifier sucking brat. No, it was her entire attitude that pissed him off beyond belief. No one had the right to be that happy, everyone had a dark side, everyone had secrets and Botan was no different. Oh, he was certain she had no idea that he knew but that didn't change the fact that he had knowledge of certain things. First and foremost was that she was a liar, using any means necessary to get what she wanted. The wench had proven that time and time again with him making promises she knew that she couldn't keep.

The other thing was she could betray someone so easily. Few knew of what she had done, even Koenma believed that he had her under his thumb but Hiei knew better. Botan's infatuation with the Detective had went beyond the realms of the acceptable, festering until she was willing to turn against the very realm she worked for. Of course, she kept her treachery well hidden and even King Enma had no idea she'd been the one to steal the file which could guarantee the Detective a painful death. Personally he didn't care one way or another what she did with it, it was of no concern to him. Yusuke was strong enough to take care of himself under most circumstances, all of this could have been avoided if the fool had decided to return to the Makai where he had belonged.

But no, the Toushin just had to return and when he did Enma had been displeased. No, displeased was a mild word for it. The God had been furious and it had only been by swearing his loyalty to the Reikai that Yusuke hadn't been attacked right then and there. Of course, the Toushin's actions had put all apparitions within the Ningenkai in peril which included his sister and forced his return. Now he was bound by the same promise, just to ensure Yukina's safety. It had put his life right back into the pacifier junkies hand's which infuriated him to no end.

And now that damnable woman was hounding him yet again, disturbing the fragile peace he had found for the evening. It was tempting to stop just to wring her scrawny neck, at least then he'd get the satisfaction of seeing if her skin could match her hair color. The thought was extremely appealing but he ignored it in favor of leaping off of the branch he was standing on.

Botan saw him moving further away from her, obviously not caring about the fact that she needed to speak with him. 'As if I didn't have enough things to do tonight!' Pushing her oar faster she chased after the elusive apparition, hoping that he would at least hear her out. Why did the demon have to make these things so difficult? It had been his choice to return and he'd done it willingly. "Hiei get back here!" If it had been up to her she wouldn't even be approaching him about this but Yusuke needed help on this case. Both Kuwabara and Kurama were unavailable leaving the Detective to take the mission alone, something she refused to see happen. He'd already died twice and while this was a simple case of apprehend a couple of fugitives she didn't want him working by himself.

Seeing he had no intension's of stopping, Botan withdrew the demon whistle from within her kimono. It was a dirty tactic to use on the man but if he was going to be stubborn about this then she would have no remorse in using it. Bringing it to her lips she took a deep breath and blew, knowing that it would affect him instantly. As expected, his feet never found purchase on the branch he had been aiming for. Instead the apparition's balance was thrown off as his hands covered his ears and he plummeted to the ground, landing roughly on his side.

With a smug look she put the whistle away, knowing that the demon wouldn't dare try to bolt now that he knew she had the whistle with her. He'd at least hear her out now, even if he was furious that she used it in the first place. Commanding her oar lower, she hovered just above the ground as she looked down at him. Their relationship hadn't improved any even though they'd known each other for years now and based on the glare he was giving her now she'd just added another reason to his list of just why he hated her. "You know Hiei if you would have just stopped I wouldn't have been forced to use it. It serves you right."

"Don't you have anything better to do? Like ponder your useless existence?" Hiei sat up, wincing at the way his side ached from the impact. One of these days he was going to find out if it was possible for the grim reaper to die. It was likely that Koenma would bring her back in the end but to see the fear in her eyes as he choked the life out of her would make it all worth it.

The smile that had begun to form on her face quickly turned into a scowl as soon as Hiei had opened his mouth. "Like you have room to talk. What we you doing Hiei? Brooding as usual? No, no, I got it. You were wallowing in self pity like normal. Please, don't make me laugh." Botan knew she was treading thin ice as his eyes narrowed at her, she knew that she had hit a sore spot with him but he was always so rude to her.

"If you were smart you'd hold your tongue before I remove it for you." Leaving was out of the question now, there was no way he'd be able to get out of hearing range before she used that damnable whistle again. Still, it wouldn't do to remain sitting on the ground. Pushing himself up he stood and brushed his cloak off while waiting to see what the woman wanted. When he looked up she was staring at him oddly and he grunted in irritation. "Well? What the hell do you want anyway?"

"Oh yes." Botan pulled out her book and thumbed through it, looking over the details of what Koenma had told her before she left. "There are four lower B class demons roaming the Ningenkai now and Yusuke has been assigned to escort them back into the Makai by any means necessary." Truthfully Botan wasn't certain just why Koenma wanted them removed, it wasn't as if they were causing any trouble just yet. Ever since the barrier had fallen there had been a number of visitors from the demon world. few of which caused any problems. 'Oh well, better safe than sorry.'

Hiei stared at her as if she had grown a second head. She'd used the whistle on him for a few low class demons? "You have got to be kidding me, send Yusuke out. He's more than enough to take care of some low level trash." When her eyes glinted with determination Hiei knew that he was in for it and truthfully he was not in the mood. Turning away from the girl he began to walk away, hopefully she would take the hint and leave him the hell alone. But then again, this was Botan he was thinking about.

"Hiei I can't believe you. Yusuke might need help on this one!" Maneuvering her oar she cut his escape off and stared at him, hoping that he'd give into her. It wasn't as if this would take long after all and the sooner they left the sooner they could have it finished. "Whatever happened to you willingly working with him? Aren't you friends anymore?"

With his escape effectively cut off for the moment Hiei stood still. On most occasions he would have had no issues working with the Detective but against such easy opponents it would be a waste of both of their times. All of this was nothing more than an idiot ferry girls concern over a man she could never have. Hadn't she figured it out by now that Yusuke would never leave Keiko, no matter how devoted she was to him? Truly the woman was pathetic. "The day Yusuke needs help to take down four weak fools is the day I tell Yukina I'm her brother. It won't happen. Spare me the drama and go run along. Your concern over the Detective is nauseating but what's worse is how you cling to the slightest hope that you might have a chance."

The apparition's words stung, further fueling her anger. 'What does he know? The only reason it will never happen is because I won't hurt Keiko like that!' A few times she had caught the affectionate looks he had cast at her and they warmed her inside. Perhaps one day, after Keiko was gone and Yusuke was ready to move on they would have the chance. She would be patient and wait until then, giving them the time they deserved together. "You should know by now that I care about all my friends! Why wouldn't I be concerned over Yusuke, you know how much trouble he gets himself into!"

"He can handle himself, stop worrying over inconsequential details. While you're at it, stop lying to yourself and find someone that's not out of your league." It was obvious the girl was deluding herself. An S-class apparition would never be interested in one of the Reikai's ferry girls as anything more than a conquest, a quick fuck to be savored and then forgotten when something better came along. No demon in their right mind would claim one and become tied to the Reikai in such a fashion willingly.

"I think I detect a note of jealousy Hiei. Does it make you mad that Yusuke's bested you yet again? What is this, three times now? Get over it Hiei, there's just some people you can't win against and he's one of them." Out of her league indeed! Why wouldn't Yusuke be interested in her, provided Keiko wasn't in the picture? It wasn't as if she were ugly after all! "Hmph, you've probably never even had a girlfriend. With your attitude and all I don't know what woman could possibly want you."

Growling lowly in his throat, Hiei glared at the foolish woman. Was she trying to provoke a reaction out of him? Apparently she'd forgotten just who she was dealing with and thought that he wouldn't bring her harm. Speaking to him in such a fashion only served to prove to him just how lax he had become in asserting his dominance over the dealings with her. Perhaps it was time to give her a reminder on just why people went out of their way to avoid pissing him off. Before she could blink he'd grabbed her arm and yanked her off of her oar, pulling her to the ground. "Need I remind you just how precarious your position is with me woman? I could kill you now and there would be no one to save you."

Botan slapped his hands away, only slightly intimidated by his words. "Oh please, you know as well as I do that you won't. You work for Koenma again remember and he won't stand for you threatening me. Besides, even if you did decide to kill me I'll just come back so it would all have been for nothing." Huffing slightly Botan tried to straighten her kimono. Getting the grass stains out later would be such a pain. "Now about the mission, we are supposed to meet Yusuke in half an hour. Come on, we don't want to be late."

A growl formed low in his chest when she stood up as if he'd said nothing of importance and expected him to behave like any well trained lap dog. The apparition's anger only grew as she continued to speak, her worry over the Detective plain to see and when she proclaimed that one way or another he was going to go assist Yusuke his temper snapped. It took all of two steps to catch up to her before snagging her upper arm and spinning her around harshly. Crimson eyes blazed in anger as she stared down at him first in shock and then in irritation.

"Let me go!" Botan's pink eyes narrowed in anger, not liking the liberties that Hiei was taking with her. Roughly she tried to jerk her arm away but he held her fast. It was obvious she'd managed to piss him off. "We don't have time for this nonsense Hiei, let me go!" Her head snapped to the side roughly as the back of his hand met her cheek. Pain seared the side of her face, throbbing in time with her heartbeat as she stared at him in shock, one hand coming up to cover the abused flesh. The vulnerable look in her eyes lasted only moments as anger took over and she struck back.

When the ferry girl sought retribution, Hiei didn't bother to move out of the way as her fist collided with the side of his face. It was rather amusing to think that a girl so weak would think to challenge him. Smiling cruelly up at the woman Hiei ignored her shrieks of indignation at being struck and fisted his hand in the folds of her kimono. It was time this girl learned her lesson and he was just the demon to show Botan just where her place was in the scheme of things. The sound of tearing silk filled the cool night air as the ferry girl's obi parted beneath his claws.

"What are you doing!" Frantically Botan tried to back away from the enraged apparition while clutching at the pink cloth in an effort to keep herself covered. It was difficult to do especially considering the smaller demon hadn't relinquished his hold on her arm. "Let me go Hiei!" Surely he wasn't serious about what he was doing! Botan was almost certain this was another one of his intimidation tactics but when it came to this particular demon there was no guarantees with anything. Determined to get him to release her and fear fueling her desperation, Botan summoned her oar once more and tried to break free of the apparition's hold.

Her attempts to get away were rather pathetic and Hiei caught the oar easily enough as she tried to break free, wrenching it out of Botan's grasp and flinging it across the clearing. A hollow thump was the only indication of where it landed but the sound was drowned out by the Ferry girl's growing hysteria. The scent of her fear was arousing and the way she struggled in his hold only fueled his desire to dominate her. Roughly Hiei pushed her to the ground, knowing that the awkward landing was sure to leave bruises later. Not that he cared any, at the rate she was struggling there was certain to be a few more that graced her body by the time the night ended. Slowly he stalked up to her fallen form, a malevolent glint in his eyes as his hand reached up to grab the black material that cloaked his body.

Seeing Hiei in the first stages of removing his clothing was what got Botan moving once more. Quickly she turned and tried getting to her feet only to slip on the damp grass. There were no doubts in her mind just what the apparition intended to do to her now, she saw the desire clouding his eyes. Had she pushed him to the point where he was no longer in control of his anger? The ferry girl wasn't certain but she didn't want to stick around and find out. The pink material of her kimono fell open as she regained her footing and tried sprinting towards her oar. Getting airborne was her only chance of getting away from him until he regained control of his senses.

Tearing the cloak off, Hiei continued walking behind the woman slowly knowing exactly what she was attempting to do. Unwilling to end her bid for freedom so soon the apparition allowed her to get within mere feet of escape before moving to stop her. As they both impacted the ground Botan's cry of frustration and fear was cut off and Hiei took the moment to savor the soft curves of her body pressed against his own. The sensation's were short lived though as her struggles renewed once more and Hiei was forced to take action. Fisting his hand in her hair, the apparition yanked her head up while sitting on her lower back. "Keep fighting, your struggles are arousing. I'll enjoy making you scream as I fuck you senseless."

As his words sank in true to form Botan only struggled harder. He couldn't help but wonder if the girl was a virgin, the thought pleased him to no end as he released the grip on her hair and his hands went to the twin belts around his waist. Pulling them free he laid the straps on the ground before forcibly turning the woman over, moving to sit on her thighs so she couldn't knee him. Roughly he yanked her into a sitting position, stripping the kimono from her shoulders and baring her breasts to his view. The woman's chest heaved, no doubt from exertion but she still wasn't about to give up. Looking around quickly, Hiei found what he needed to keep her adequately bound while he pleasured himself with her body. Forcefully the apparition hauled Botan to her feet while snatching the belts off of the ground.

The pain in her face only grew with each step and the harsh way Hiei continued to drag her around only added to the pain. "Please stop, don't do this." Tears had began to make their way down her pale cheeks as her protests were ignored. She'd felt the proof of the apparition's desire in the few moments he laid on top of her body. Unsure of exactly where he intended to put her, she stumbled along as best as she could under the circumstances. She couldn't suppress the shiver that racked her body as the cool night air washed over her bare skin.

"You brought this on yourself, it's your fault that I must teach you a lesson." There was no care in the tone of his voice as he forced the girl onto the ground once more. A fighter to the end she continued to struggle against his hold as he looped the first belt around her wrist and then tied it to the trunk of a sapling. The other belt followed suit shortly, ensuring that her arms were secured above her head. Only then did Hiei allow himself the opportunity to relax and stare at her nude body. As she locked gazes with him the apparition nearly laughed at the level of anger and hatred Botan's pink eyes contained. Her fury was of no concern to him any longer, only the pleasure she would give him.

"My fault! All I was doing was telling you to do your job! Koenma will hear about this if you don't stop Hiei." Even as the words left her mouth Botan knew she'd said the wrong thing as the apparition sneered down at her in rage. Briefly the thought came to her that she should have kept her mouth shut, what little calm he'd managed to regain had been quickly lost at the mention of Koenma's name. Rough hands tore at the cotton underwear she'd donned that morning, yanking them roughly down her legs despite her frantic attempts to pull away from him even with her arms bound above her head.

Knowing that she wasn't capable of going anywhere and no one would come in response to her calls for help, Hiei stood and kicked off his boots. The pants quickly followed, being tossed in the general direction of his cloak. It didn't matter to him that the ground was damp and cold, her comfort wasn't one of his priorities. The fear was apparent in her pink eyes as she stared at his nude form, her gaze traveling down to his engorged cock. She had every reason to fear, especially if she was a virgin as he suspected. Kneeling down before her, his hands slid up her thighs and began to pry them apart. Her struggles her inconsequential as he positioned himself between her legs, the head of his member brushing against her folds.

Slipping two fingers within his mouth, Hiei coated them with saliva before taking them out and rubbing them along her nether lips. As his fingers came in contact with her barrier the apparition he smiled. Slipping the digits past the thin membrane, Hiei worked on the tight passage until he felt the beginnings of her arousal began to spike against her will. While he didn't care if she screamed in agony, he at least wanted to get some pleasure out of the rutting that was about to commence. Pulling them out of her tight hole, Hiei then gripped the girl's hips, lifting her ass until it rested against his thighs. Not sparing as second thought as to the right or wrong of what he was doing, the apparition began to force the head of his cock into her resisting body.

"Stop! Please stop!" The agony of her untried passage being entered without care had the tears flowing freely down Botan's face. Futily she tried to pull her lower half away from him once more and nearly succeeded when his fingers slipped. A cry of pain erupted from her throat as she felt him reposition himself and then slam his throbbing length deep within her body. Already she could feel the blood dripping from her abused flesh as it tore but even that didn't get him to stop, instead the metallic scent seemed to excite him further as he drove into her repeatedly.

The grip her pussy had around his length was almost painful but Hiei was enjoying every moment of it. Her cries only enhanced his pleasure as he rode her body, the sounds of their flesh meeting filling the night air. It'd been far too long since he had taken a lover and now he was determined to make up for that lack. Feeling his release becoming inevitable he moved over her, laying across her body. Never breaking the furious pace he had set, his hand fisted in her hair once more. "Look at me!" The demand caused her eyes to snap open, he wanted to see every emotion crossing her face as he emptied his seed into her.

Angrily Botan stared into his eyes as he ordered, somehow knowing he was close to finishing. The pain had slowed to a dull ache but she knew it would remain for a few days at least. There was also no mistaking the throbbing in his length as he continued to move within her body. "I hate you." The tone was filled with venom as he stared into her face but the ferry girl didn't care. A grunt from the apparition was her only answer as a pulsing warmth filled her body. His movements became frantic and jerky as his pleasure washed over him and she despised him all the more for her. Her first time was supposed to be pleasant, something special with someone she cared for. Not brutally taken by someone who despised her very existence.

Breathing heavily, Hiei pulled away from her to rest for a moment. Their time was running short, she'd said that they were supposed to meet the Detective soon but there was a chance it would be overlooked. He was notoriously hard to find after all and Yusuke would most likely go take care of the demon's on his own just as he'd suggested to begin with. His gaze fell to the woman he'd just fucked and he felt his body stir once more.

"If your finished you can untie me." Botan only wanted to be released now. No longer was she concerned with whether or not Hiei decided to lend his assistance. What she desired now was to get cleaned up and try to put this behind her. Koenma would most assuredly be hearing about this and the situation would be dealt with immediately. Hiei couldn't be allowed to get away with what he'd just done. When all he did was stare at her unwaveringly, Botan rolled to her knees fully intending on untying herself. A muttered curse was heard as her lower regions continued to throb. "Stupid demon, this is probably the only way he could get a girl to have sex with him in the first place."

The sight of her backside displayed so provocatively made his member twitch with renewed life and her comment had been as quiet as the ferry girl had hoped. His hands fell to her hips, gripping them firmly as he ground his length against her core. "You think I don't know how to please a woman?" The very idea was laughable and he was sorely temped to prove her wrong. When a gasp was heard he flipped her back over to her back, ending her bid for freedom once more as he stared down into her face. "I'm going to fuck you so hard you don't even remember your own name and I'm going to make you enjoy it."

"You think I'd enjoy you touching me? Especially after what you just did?" Botan's breath hitched as she realized that he wasn't through with her just yet. Why couldn't he just let this go, he had gotten what he'd wanted. After this she had no desire to come anywhere near him again. Why did he insist on hurting her further?

Never one to back away from a challenge, Hiei moved down from her legs once more. A smirk crossed his lips as he observed the discoloration on her pale skin, indicators of where his fingers had forced her to submit. "Oh you will... Like it or not your body will be begging for more." Determined to prove his point, Hiei settled more firmly between her legs and ran his tongue over her abused flesh. Her blood was sweet he decided as he continued to clean her and allowed the healing properties of his saliva to tend to the tearing that he'd inflicted. The girl was stubborn in her determination to ignore the sensations his touch was causing but he could smell it in her scent as he forced his tongue deeper into her body.

Botan bit her lip, stubbornly refusing to admit that his attentions were now easing the ache within her body, allowing other sensations to come to the surface. The heat from his tongue was near scorching as he plundered her depths. The touch of his fingers spreading his lips apart was near gentle as Hiei's attention switched to her now exposed jewel. Soft lips caressed the tender flesh and despite her mind's protests she could feel her body beginning to respond to the stimulus.

Chuckling darkly at her response, Hiei knew that it was only a matter of time. No matter what her emotions told her, there were somethings that the body craved regardless of who was offering it or the circumstances behind it. By the time he was finished with her the woman wouldn't be able to look upon him without feeling the shame of knowing she had desired him. Once more she had seemed to find her voice, pleading with him to stop but he was determined to see this though. Sucking the sensitive bud into his mouth, the apparition swirled his tongue around the tender flesh causing her to sob. It was music to his ears to hear the mental pain combined with physical pleasure in her voice.

Fingers were pumped slowly into her body and pushed upwards causing her back to arch even further. Warmth was quickly consuming her body as Hiei continued to touch her and the ache was quickly turning into a need for more. Self loathing consumed her as her hips began to move, pressing her core harder against those demanding fingers. "Stop... Ngnn dammit stop!" Her voice sounded feeble, even to herself and she knew that it would never be enough to convince the apparition to stop. Hiei was enjoying himself far too much.

Hiei knew that Botan's release was almost upon her by the quavering in her voice and the trembling in her thighs. The ferry girl's cries were coming faster and quickly losing coherency as he pushed her body further and further, driving her to the edge of ecstasy. The scent of her arousal was intoxicating and Hiei was quickly coming to realize he could easily become addicted to her taste. As he give a firm lashing to her clit with his tongue, her walls clamped down on his fingers with a vise like grip as she moaned her pleasure. Pulling his fingers free, Hiei drove his tongue deep inside her wet cavern making sure to lap up every sweet drop of her essence that he could reach.

All hope for her vanished the moment the first wave of pleasure hit her and Botan knew that the apparition was going to get exactly what he wanted. As intense as her first orgasm had been, it left a tremendous ache behind that demanded to be sated. Pride was lost as her eyes slid closed and she whimpered as Hiei continued to probe her with that torturous tongue. "Please.."

A smirk crossed his face at the whispered word, Hiei knew exactly what she was asking for but he wasn't going to give it without hearing the words. Slowly he moved away from her, leaving her panting at the momentary loss of contact. Gripping her hips firmly, the apparition turned her over and pulled her up to her knees. A slick finger slid along her wet folds, ignoring how Botan's body instinctively sought out firmer contact. "Please what?"

It was positively humiliating to be positioned as she was, with her ass in the air and begging like a bitch in heat but as Hiei pushed a finger deep inside her for the moment she didn't care. Nothing else mattered but satisfying the desire that he'd somehow managed to cause. "I.. I don't know.. Just.. Please.." Knowing his iron will wouldn't last even under those circumstances, Botan prayed that he'd give her what she needed without waiting too much longer.

"You want me to fuck you don't you?" Hiei couldn't help but tease her as he pulled his finger out and gripped the base of his cock, rubbing the head along her slick folds. The woman was more than ready for him, of that he was certain. Every so slowly he pushed the tip in while gripping her hips firmly to hold her still. Keeping his thrusts shallow, teasing in their intensity he continued to gage her ever move. When she didn't answer he fisted his hand in her now unbound hair and yanked her head back sharply. "Tell me you want me to fuck you!"

The pain from the hold on her hair was nearly welcome since it meant that his grip on her body was no longer steady. Taking a deep breath she shoved backwards, impaling herself on his cock. A hiss of pleasure escaped her lips as he grunted behind her, taken off guard by her actions. Her walls stretched once more, adjusting to the intrusion but this time there was no pain, only a pleasurable friction that came with every small movement. "Oh God!"

Releasing his grip on her hair, Hiei allowed Botan's head to fall forward once more. The idea of punishing the ferry girl for her indiscretion crossed his mind but as she shifted once more he decided against it. If she wanted fucked so badly he wasn't going to hold back on her. Withdrawing almost completely, Hiei slammed his cock back into her willing body. Without mercy he rode her hard, his body covering hers as he drove deeper into that tight heat. Her screams of pleasure filled the air, accentuating the sounds of their rutting.

Botan could feel her release building once more, demanding in its intensity as Hiei took her without care. Feverishly she worked at her bonds, nearly sobbing with relief as on of her hands came free. Ignoring the sharp sting of the apparition's hand against the curve of her backside, her fingers slipped down to her core and frantically began working on her hidden jewel. Occasionally the digits brushed against Hiei's throbbing member, pulling forth a grunt from the man behind her. Moments later his hand joined hers, roughly pinching her clit. Her knees nearly gave out as her release took over, the apparition's hands holding her firmly in place as her walls pulsed around his erection.

The ferry girl finding completion was what sent him over the edge as well. Gripping the base of his cock, he pulled free of her body and began to pump the member harshly. A moan of pleasure escaped him as his seed erupted and painted the girl's rounded backside. His eyes remained glued to the sight, taking pleasure in the fact that it had been him to mark her in such a fashion. As he panted his free hand came up to caress her cheeks, fingertips trailing through the slick evidence of what he had done. As the girl looked over her shoulder at him he smirked, and continued to write his name across her damp skin. "If I were you I'd think about what sort of excuse you're going to make up once you find Yusuke. I doubt your current obsession would be thrilled to know that you'd just fucked his team mate and enjoyed it."

Botan glared at him and untied her remaining hand before standing unsteadily. The bastard had a lot of nerve, once more her anger flared to life. Surely his lust had been sated and she wouldn't have to worry about him being ready for a third round so soon. "What makes you think I won't tell him? Or Koenma for that matter. It's not like you gave me any choice in the matter! They won't hold it against me. But you on the other hand, you're screwed."

So the woman thought she was safe from him even now. Hiei knew that illusion would be easily dispelled, even if his body needed some time to recuperate he had other methods at his disposal to force her into silence. Stalking up to her he stared up into those pink eyes that were so recently glazed over in lust. "You'd think that wouldn't you." His hand came up into those silky blue strands once more, this time almost gently in the way he ran his hands through her hair. "But I know your secret and I know you won't say anything."

"My.. secret?" Botan wasn't sure exactly what he was talking about. Her life was an open book for the most part, unless he was talking about the secret infatuation she had with the Toushin. While it would be disturbing if that knowledge got out, it certainly wasn't anything that would keep her from going straight to Koenma.

"Yes, the file that King Enma so desperately wants to get his hands on. I know you took it, I know what it contains. And most importantly of all, I know where it is hidden. Do you really want Yusuke targeted once more? Or is his continued safety worth your silence?" There was no doubt in his mind what the Ferry girl would choose, the stricken look that crossed her face as soon as the file had been mentioned said it all. Silently he waited for his answer, wanting to hear the words.

With her heart pounding furiously, Botan stared down at the small demon, unwilling to believe what she'd just heard. Even after all they'd been through together he'd still willingly turn on Yusuke like that? She wasn't exactly sure that it was a chance that she could take. Hiei had always been unpredictable at best and while she wanted to believe he'd never do something like that, she'd never thought he'd have taken her forcibly as he'd done mere minutes before. "Does he mean that little to you?"

A slight shrug of the shoulders had her eyes widening even further. Hiei knew he had her doubting just what he would do and he smiled, it would do to keep her off balance. When Botan finally nodded her acceptance of his terms he turned from her then and made his way over to his discarded clothing. Sliding his pants on first and then his cloak, the apparition then went to retrieve his belts. While he dressed, the ferry girl was doing the same, it would almost be worthwhile going on this mission now to watch her explain just how she got in such a state.

As the girl tried desperately to retie her kimono with the shredded obi, Hiei advanced on her once more only stopping when he was within mere inches of the woman. Gripping her wrist lightly, he drew her attention to him once more and then stared her hard in the eyes. "You will also cease in this idiotic bid for my assistance on missions that do not need my attention. If you come for me again when it's not needed..." Hiei allowed his gaze to trail suggestively over her body once more. "I'll think that you are wishing a repeat performance. One I will be more than happy to give you."

Botan slowly backed away from him once more, knowing he was serious in his threat. "Yes well, I'm just... going to be going now." Never again would she make the mistake of approaching him without cause, no matter how worried she was for Yusuke's safety. Quickly she made her way over to her oar, picking it up off of the ground and making her way into the air. She had to get cleaned up before she could face any of the others or there would be uncomfortable questions she couldn't answer.

Hiei watched her go with a slight smile before taking leave of the area himself. Now all he wanted was a nice long nap where he could regain his spent energy without having to worry about anyone bothering him.

Three months later found Botan in bed, tossing and turning in the heat of the night. Sleep eluded her once more, not that she particularly cared. When she did fall into that peaceful oblivion the dreams would inevitably begin once again. Memories of how Hiei touched her, making her body burn for more. No matter how she tried, she couldn't get him out of her mind. It scared her, knowing that she desired the man even after everything that he'd done to her. What made it worse was she knew that her control was slowly slipping each time she thought of him. Every night she cursed him for what he'd done to her and she cursed herself for wanting more. Frustrated beyond belief, Botan threw the covers off of herself and slid her sandals on. Not bothering to change out of her sleeping yukata, she materialized her oar and descended into the Ningenkai once more.

Nervousness gripped her once again as she covered the skies rapidly. A trembling hand shook as it removed the demon compass she'd grabbed on her way out, glancing at the object to gain a direction to travel. Once she locked in on the elusive apparition, Botan altered her course. She couldn't help but wonder what he'd say when she appeared once more. A faint beeping from the device told her that she was now over the area he'd come to rest for the night and she descended slowly. It wasn't difficult to see him, his eyes blazing as he stared at her from his position in the tree no doubt wondering just why she was there. Dematerializing her oar Botan took a deep breath and began to approach him , somehow knowing he'd give her exactly what she needed. "Hiei.. I have a mission for you."

The End
