Note to self: I miss you terribly

Chapter 1: Summer fun and a urgent IM

A:N: Hi guys! This would be my first fan fic! I used to write a lot in my free time, but now I finally got a account! Hazzah! (does some insane dance)

So yay, this is gonna be a Botan and Hiei fic so enjoy it!

It seemed to be a perfect summer day where nothing could possibly go wrong. A cool, soothing summer breeze, blew the scorching summer heat away. The trees moved gracefully with the wind as it blew.

And where was the YYH gang on this perfect day?

At the country club pool, having the time of their lives!

“ WA HA HA HA!” Kuwabara was laughing like an insane maniac as he splashed warm pool water into Yusuke’s brown eyes. “I gotcha ya, you stupid punk!”

“ Like you’re the one to talk genius!” Yusuke retorted stupidly as he started to splash water a mile a minute. “ I’m a punk, but at least I’m not a stupid cat lover!”

Kuwabara’s face turned beat red at this comment. “ SHUT UP URAMESH! CATS ARE AWESOME!”

“CATS ARE STUPID!”

“ AWESOME!”

“ STUPID!”

“ AWESOME!”

This argue continued for about 5 minutes until, Hiei slowly walked in between them (unnoticed) getting drenched by their petty water fight.

“ Silence….or death.” Hiei growled as he grabbed their hair and dunked them into the water. ( a:N:He had to tiptoe LOL)

“ Oh dear…” Kurama was sitting by the edge of the pool and was watching this wide eyed as a pair of four arms rose above the water and were waving in random directions, showing they needed air.

“ Well, boys will be boys I suppose.” A cheerful voice rang out in the hot summer air.

Kurama turned around and found Botan standing behind him, and sweatdropped.

Botan had a huge, floppy straw hat on that twice the size of her head, along with giant bright green sunglasses. One her right arm was a bright pink beach bag, filled with random pool toys and sunscreen. An inner tube hung around her slender left wrist. Her white, terry towel pool cover looked perfect with her shiny blue hair.

“ Oh.. uh.. Botan-san…”

Kurama covered his hand over his mouth to prevent himself at laughing at her ridiculous appearance. “ W-when did you get here?”

Botan grinned a grin that matched the size of her hat and sunglasses.

“ Just now Kura-chan!” She put down her stuff carelessly next to Kurama, and started to lather about ten layers of sunscreen on her pale skin. “ I just finished guiding a little girl to heaven, so Koenma gave me a break!” She removed her white pool cover, reveling a pink bikini that had thousands of tiny rubber duckies on it.

Kurama nodded. “ That’s good to know.” Although his tone of voice clearly showed his head was throbbing just by hearing her talk.

“ YUP!” She stretched, and ran over to the diving board. “ CANNON BALL!”

Using all of her strength, Botan soared off the diving board, put her tiny knees to her chest, and clasped them tightly as she hit the clear blue water.

A huge splash reached for the clear cerulean summer sky, and water flew in every direction.

Yusuke and Kuwabara ( Hiei finally released them as Botan was running to the diving board) were in a stupefied state of shock. Their jaws were open so wide, water got into their mouths and were coughing and shaking at the gross taste of chlorine.

Hiei watched this and snorted. Not entirely bad for a stupid onna.

But he has seen way better… but not from him. He was way too short to make a huge splash.

Botan arose from the water, her blue hair in her eyes, and a flashing a grin brighter than the sun itself.

She swam over to Kuwabara, Yusuke and Hiei.

“ So… What did ya boys think?” Her grin grew bigger as she awaited their answers.

Hiei was starting to get annoyed by her stupid grins. Couldn’t learn to frown once in a while?

“ You were awesome Botan-chan!” Kuwabara also flashed a shining grin. “ Could you maybe teach me to dive like that?”

“ It was a cannonball stupid.” Yusuke sighed at his friend’s stupidity. “ But Botan, that was sweet!” He cocked his head and smiled.

“Thank you boys!” Botan thanked them in a high-pitched cheerful voice. She then stared at Hiei, waiting for an at least a hint of praise.

Hiei was growing tired of her staring. “ What do you want, onna?” The fire demon growled, eyes flashing.

Botan glared at him. “ Well, that was rude!” She placed her hands on her tiny waist. “ I was waiting for you’re opinion on my cannonball.”

Hiei smirked. “ It was alright, but do you think you should’ve waited until all that sunscreen dried until you took the plunge?”

“ Huh?” Botan examined herself until she saw what Hiei meant.

“ Urk!” Botan got blue lines as she found out what Hiei meant. All ten layers of her sunscreen were now in messy clumps of white and were dripping into the water.

Hiei’s smirk grew as Botan’s face was filling with horror and Kuwabara and Yusuke were laughing their heads off as they swam off to do something stupid ( a:N: Y’know, Kuwabara and Yusuke things).

Botan glared harshly at Hiei. “Hmph. It’s not very noticeable!” She said stubbornly turning her nose into the air. “ So there!” She turned her back to Hiei so he couldn’t see her face fall.

What a lame comeback! She thought with blue lines. Even Kuwa-chan can come up with a better comeback.

Hiei held his breath to keep from laughing. “ You do know, that was a really lame comeback…” He was trying his best to keep from laughing.

Botan wiped around and suddenly was crying anime tears. “ YES I KNOW! I’M SOOOOOOOOO SOOORRRYYY!” She was now making pathetic bawling anime sobs, and the whole country club was now staring at Hiei and Botan.

Hiei patted her awkwardly on the head. “ Look, onna, there’s no need to make a big scene about it.” He muttered eyes darting around for he was getting annoyed at the stares of strangers.

“ I’m sorry!” Botan suddenly stopped crying and flashed a cheerful smile. “AWW! That was a good cry!”

Hiei raised his eyebrow. “ Onna… you are really strange.” He cocked his head. “ How could a person have so many mood changes?”

“ Well, I’m sorry!” Botan glared at him and put one hand on her hip. “That’s the way I am!” She flipped back her heavy ponytail to show defiance.

Hiei raised another eyebrow, and then suddenly (to Botan’s surprise) he smiled!

Well, actually, it was more like a half-smile, but hey, it was a smile!

“ You’re really a unique character onna.”

Botan stopped glaring, and just kind of stared. Never in her life has she seen Hiei “ smile” or call anybody unique! For a good five minutes, all they did was stare at each other.

But a shriek in surprise brought them back to reality, and they looked over to where the shriek came from.

Kuwabara was waving what looked like a pink cell phone with rubber duckies all over the front. The ring tone was the ending theme of Tokyo mew mew Koi wa a la mode (A:N If any of y’all hadn’t heard this song before it’s really cheerful and happy and I instantly picture Botan when I hear this song. :P) and was ringing loud as hell.

“ BOTAN-CHAAAN!” Kuwabara tried to scream over the loud as hell ring tone. “ YOU GOT A IM!”

“ An Im? What the hell is an IM?” Hiei followed Botan to the ladder of the pool.

“ Im is instant message.” Botan explained cheerfully as she got out and took the cell phone form Kuwabara’s hands. “ I wonder who it’s from…?”

Botan narrowed her eyes at the screen. Then suddenly she gasped, and ran over to the side of the pool where Botan left her stuff. She started to gather everything together to leave.

Kurama’s eyes suddenly grew with concern. “ Where are you going Botan-san?”

Botan quickly threw on her white cover up. “ The IM was from Koenma-sama. It was really urgent and I have to see him immediately.” She quickly zipped up her bag, and took her oar out.

“ Wait a minute… Koenma uses Im?” Yusuke raised an eyebrow.

“ Uh… yes. H-He just got into it. He now Ims me about everything.” Botan hung her head and sweat dropped, and then boarded her oar.

“ I promise I’ll be right back after Koenma gives me this mission!” Botan was about to fly away, but something tapped her shoulder.

She turned around and found Hiei standing behind her. “ You forgot this.” He took out the bright pink inner tube that he was hiding behind his back.

“ Oh! Thank you Hiei!” Botan took it with a gentle, cheerful smile.

Hiei almost melted. He never noticed how pretty Botan’s smile was.

“ Well… you better come back.” Hiei didn’t know what else to say. All his words seemed to be taken away by her smile.

Botan blinked twice in surprise, then smiled that same smile.

“ I promised I would be back didn’t I?” She asked with a warm smile. “ So just believe in me Hiei!”

Then without another word, she flew off the ground full speed, into the flawless summer sky.

A:N: That’s it for Chapter 1! YAY! (grins)

So was it great? Good? Bad? Or just plain crappy? I’ll only know if you’ll review! So please do! (Hey that rhymes! LOL)

By the way, the title of the fic is actually the title of a From first to last song. I love that song, and I wanted to use the name somehow! Just in case you’re wondering. (sweatdrops)
