(OOC: Me and Jilak for now)
Botan had slipped a few times, and was rather grateful she had taken the extra measure to wrap the belt around. However, it created getting loose a bit problematic. She struggled with the belt, looking more panicked with each second.
"I-It's stuck!"
Now would be a good time for Hiei to use his sword. After some prerequisite smart ass comments, of course.

Hiei wasn't one to miss unfortunate implications. The vein in his forehead throbbed for a minute. He was also rather enraged that she was going to end up forcing him to LOSE some of his BELT. After he'd ALREADY lost his EPIC CLOAK.
"Tsk. I don't even want to think about the other times someone would actually say that." Hiei proceeded to cut a PART of his EPIC BELT. EMPHASIS.
"...actually, wait. I think I cut the wrong thing. Here, reach your wrist over here."

Botan flushed with embarassment at his comment and jerked her hand away as he cut the belt. Possibly due to being greatly embarassed by his comment, she actually began pushing her hand back towards Hiei.
And now the author must simply pause because Botan's stupidity requires a reaction.

Hiei's response was actually a non-response. He didn't speak, he merely stared for perhaps a full minute. At one point, his sword hand reached out a bit, before he finally sighed and stuffed it back into its sheath.
"You know, surprisingly, when given the chance to greatly wound you, I just feel the need to facepalm."

Botan blinked, "Wait, what? Hey!!!"
Her reaction was entirely all too feminine, but is probably the type that would have anime fans rolling in the aisles. Aside from the Botan haters, who would be cursing Hiei for a missed opportunity. She glared at him before focusing on trying to untie the fabric around her hand.
At this point it was a good thing Hiei possessed situational awareness, as two fuzzballs floated into the area. They had eyes, but their direction seemed to be carried by the wind. They actually seemed a bit like an extremely large dandelion puff. Considering Hiei's knowledge of Kurama's abilities, he might have the right idea about them. However, whether he would have that idea quick enough or the desire to protect Botan as one floated dangerously close to the back of her head...
Is entirely up to Hiei's player. Excuse me, the author needs to put down the poor fourth wall now. Darn thing had just reincarnated from an earlier Yuu Yuu Hakusho based roleplay as well. Dang.

Ah, yes. Hiei had options here. Protect Botan, or do nothing and allow this, possibly dangerous, fuzzball to land on her head. And perhaps eat her brains or something.
He chose the latter, of course, deciding to continue on with normal conversation.
"Right. If I'm not going to get to murder you, there's really no point in cutting off your arm. If you're going to get all that blood over the ground, it might as well be all of your blood."

Botan scowled and turned to Hiei. He was getting awfully brave without Yuusuke or Kurama around. However, the head turn caused her face to impact with the fuzzball, which promptly exploded. And Botan's eyes pulled an American animation trick and became swirlies. She went to take a step forward, and teetered to the side. She went to correct herself, and teetered forward.
And then the worst thing happened, something the author must apologize for. At least to the more innocent minded members of the board. For she tripped over her own leg, and the angle at which she fell forward put her directly in line with... *cough* Let's just say it would most definently be cut from a dub, shall we? Cause the author ain't writing that.

Hiei wasn't actually entirely sure how to respond to this. It should be noted that he had a tint of red in his face, merely because of the awkwardness of the situation. And, of course, anime law indicates that even demons blush in TERRIBLY AWKWARD situations. It deserves mention that his eyes widened considerably before he took a few steps backward. He'd actually manged to become flustered enough to forget to do his 'stealth hi-bye'. Or even a few epic flips.
"...let us never speak of this again." He'd managed to react fast enough to prevent any long-lasting mega-awkwardness(though the situation was STILL rather bad), but she'd actually bumped into it. Dear lord it was a good thing Kuwabara was absent. Though, a young boy with an abnormally large head would watch his surveillance tapes of the island in bewilderment that night. And, knowing his computer, it'd appear on-screen during his important meeting.
Hell, he was flustered enough not to bring out his sword. His METALLIC sword, to clarify.

Let's just say its a good thing she was too dizzy to even register the situation as she faceplanted in the ground. And proceeded to somehow managed to still be dizzy, on the ground. She was actually trying to get to her feet, but the LSD trip out that would have made Abridged Series Yuusuke's head spin was making the world dance with colors and distort rather badly.
"Hee.. Heuh wore air uuu?" even her speech was incredibly garbled.
More puffballs had appeared. Unfortunately, poor Hiei didn't know that they reacted badly to direct physical attack. And without that knowledge, it was likely he wouldn't know to "hi-bye" away if he cut into one... meaning he would likely get a facefull of exploded fuzzie, as well.
On a side note, dizzy Botan was somehow managing to avoid hitting another one. Perhaps they really were swarming Hiei... their numbers had easily tripled.

See, these are things Koenma should have briefed him on. With where he was pulled from canon, Hiei wasn't used to the whole 'don't use force here, ya ninny' thing, so he pretty much just brought his foot up to kick the one nearest to him. Which then exploded. And tossed him back considerably.
Okay, so. Now would be a good time to stealth hi-bye, had the fuzzy creatures not been between him and the spirit guide. As, you know, Hiei's luck failed. In retrospect, the author assumes that the fuzzies are also ABOVE each other, therefore not giving Hiei the option of leaping over to her. He could always stealth hi-bye and leave her there, sure.
But he refrained, for a reason that he'd think of an excuse for later.

Botan's head was just beginning to clear up. She held her head as her eyes went back into focus in time to see Hiei fall down. She looked around and saw the fuzzies had multiplied into some where in the twenties. She ducked one as the wind swooped it at her, but the shock from running into one earlier meant she didn't know what had happened.
"Hiei? Uh... Hiei...?"
If she wasn't reading him wrong, he appeared ready to go into his "hi-bye" mode... and although Botan didn't realize it, in his condition he'd likely leave a Looney Tunes-styled indent in a tree. Or run into another fuzzie. Or with how his day had been going... both.

Unfortunately for Hiei, he'd went all hi-bye on them. However, he'd been meaning to get near the spirit guide and perhaps get the two, y'knwo, away from the ravenous fuzzies. However, he was unfortunate enough to crash into another fuzzie... which exploded, sending him back into a tree... which he bounced off of, and hit another fuzzie. This repeated a few times before he collapsed.
Now would be a VERY good time for Hiei to go all 'DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME', if it wasn't so highly likely that he'd light Botan on fire.
"...remind me again why I haven't killed you." Hiei managed to mumble. However, considering his face was on the ground, it was more 'renind ne again why I havem't keeled you'.

Botan sweatdropped as Hiei made a huge fool of himself. With each fuzzie he "hi-bye"-d into, he seemed to get more disorientated. It hit her, but she wasn't sure Hiei could hear here clearly. She had to try.
She sidestepped a few fuzzies, feeling like she was in some kind of paintball obstacle course as she did so. She managed to get as close to Hiei as she felt comfortable with and cupped her hands around her mouth, "Hiei! Its these things! They disorientate you!"
Well, she managed to get it out before brushing against one. Which blew up. She tried to lean on a tree for comfort and landed in some bushes, the branches slightly scratching up her face. Her thoughts of "just stay still" meant she was back on her feet seconds before falling backwards.

Well, at least the poor guy could still hear coherently. So, of course, he decided it'd be a good idea to stop hi-bying. He managed to, in fact, lay there, on the ground. Most likely from the fact that his body felt physically incapable of moving.
"I. Hate. You." It was directed at multiple people. Botan, the fuzzies, the author of this post, Hiei's mother, Kuwabara...
...half of Japan...

Botan's head cleared up, but she managed to not sit right up. She noticed a clear path over to Hiei and rolled over to him. It made her a little dizzy, but considering what the flying dandelion puffs did, it wasn't hard to get over. However, she misgauged the distance and managed to roll into Hiei rather than beside him.
And considering how ready he was to kill something, this was probably not a good thing...
