Me: ::sniffle:: Thanks Jenna
Teren: Yes, afterall, its only been since...what, OCTOBER 11TH!!!
Jenna: ::looks at calendar:: Oh!...well, December 5th isn't as bad as it could be... ::nervously eyes readers::
Me: What ever. I'm sorry, but this chapter is just...it just irks me, alright? It just doesn't seem that in character for Hiei or Genkai. I needed to speed up the timeline a bit, so this chapter is just...yeah, you'll see. Also, I'm answering reveiws from now on!! WoW oO. Every other time I updated, I kept on forgeting, gomen!
Robin Autumn: Shrimp! Rice! And catfish too!! YAY!!!! Yummy yummy! Gotta love the food, Robin, thanks!!
Inknamida: Really? I'd been wanting to add that last part for some time, and I just couldn't figure out WHERE, ya know? Oh well, I'm glad someone liked it!!
Poltergeist report 101: Well...when you look at it my way, every chapter ending is a cliff hanger, because you just REALLY want to know what happens next. Not sure if thats how you're looking at it that way, but I don't quite know how else to figure out how its a cliff hanger. I'm just a beginer writer you know!! Sorry the dream sequence was confusing, it was meant to be symbolic and in...um...baby terms, you know? Because, Yukina and Hiei where new borns, and while Hiei was able to understand everything, I'm not too sure about Yukina. Hiei and Yukina share the twin-link to a certain degree, and they would be able to feel each others emotions and pain toa certain extent, so I was using what Yukina was getting from the link to describe the part of Hiei falling off the cliff. Every thing else was her perspective. I'm not explaining this too well, am I? ::sweat drop:: Oh well, if you're still confused...I guess I'll go back and re-write it, explain it better.
GreenTeaRulerAkaQueenChad: ::accepts penny:: I shall take good care of him, Obewan K'nobe. ::cradles shiny penny:: As for why its in your C2, I'm assuming you went slightly mad from overdosing on cheese cake. I WILL finish it, but its gonna take me awhile. I mean, look at this chapter!! It SUCKS!!
LivingImpared: Thankies!!! ::BIG smile::I can't garuntee anything when it comes to updates, sorry about that. I WILL finish this story!! Have no fear!! ::everyone runs away:: what?
Chapter 5
Syrup?...on the ceiling
"Give it!"
"No."
"I said give it!"
Genkai gave a flat stare. "If you want it so badly, get up and take it."
Hiei growled. He was NOT in a good mood. He ached all over from yesterday, he had had some of the most disgusting medicine he had ever tasted, and now this human wrinkle was holding his katana hostage! Not to mention, he had had the dream last night…after-which, he had a fuzzy memory of a window that refused to open. THAT annoyed him. Baka window.
"Give. It. To. Me. NOW!!!!"
Yusuke popped his head into the room, annoyed. Hiei was sitting on the bed, and Genkai was a few feet away with…Yusuke's face turned from annoyance to astonishment, then slyness. "Wow Hiei, you must have been OUT of it if she got hold of your sword" he said coyly. Hiei shot him a death glare, and he quickly changed the subject. "Any way, breakfast's ready, and Keiko and Shizuru are here." He rolled his eyes. "They came when they found out Kuwabara and me didn't make it home."
Genkai nodded, then looked at Hiei. "Come to the kitchen if you want some." Here her voice became sarcastic, "If you can't make it, we'll get you some for in here."
Hiei growled. He was NOT an inept weakling that would be down for days after a fight. "I'll go to the kitchen, thank you." He snarled.
Genkai smirked. "Good. YOU! This isn't a side show circus! Get moving!" she snapped at Yusuke; he was leaning against the doorframe, watching them like he had nothing better to do, which he probably didn't. He glared at Genkai, sighed, and left, presumably for the kitchen. Genkai looked once more at the small demon, and also headed out.
Hiei then got out of bed, slowly. He didn't want to tear his half healed stomach, THAT would not only be painful, but would impede his movements more so. Not very pleasant, in his opinion.
After a few minutes, he had made his way to the kitchen, and came upon a site that made him want to either leave and pretend he hadn't seen what his idiotic allies were doing, or decapitate half of said allies. Well, he was hungry, and the food was in there. His katana was still with the hag, so he couldn't decapitate them…yet. That left one option. He sighed, and made his was into the maelstrom of activity that consisted of the kitchen at the time.
There was food EVERY WHERE. Kuwabara was on the other side of the fridge, using it as a shield for the eggs Yusuke, who was behind the table which was turned on its side, was throwing at him. Keiko was behind the small shield Yukina had erected for protection against the flying food, glaring daggers at Yusuke, who ignored her. Genkai was off to the side, a look of evil contemplation in her eyes as she watched the two boys. Probably thinking up a painful punishment, he thought. Shizuru was at the other entrance, calm as ever, eating her food, though her eyes were the same as Genkai's. Botan was looking though the window, on her oar. She had apparently flown out when food went flying.
Kuwabara threw some of the grits he had taken for ammo, aiming for Yusuke. However, at the sound of Hiei's sigh, his head whipped around to where he was, aim going off. The grits flew through the air, everyone watching in silence, until they hit their unintended target.
Shizuru had her eyes closed, an anger mark forming. She set her food on the floor, and wiped her face. When the grits were (mostly) off, she turned her gaze to her brother, her left eye ticking. Kuwabara looked at her, backing up until he hit the wall, saying, "Uh, hey sis, I uh, um, didn't see ya there, and um, uh, oh! Would you look the time, I really gotta go—"
Shizuru was there in a flash, towering over her brother, who seemed to want to shrink, or at least fade into the wall; neither happened. She grabbed Kuwabara's collar, dragging him up wards so her angry face.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING? THROWING FOOD WAS ONE THING, HITTING ME IS ANOTHER THING ALTOGETHER! NO VIDEO GAMES FOR A MONTH!!" Shizuru yelled into his face. She let go of him, and turned around to walk out the door, like she hadn't just given the ultimate punishment to her baby brother. Kuwabara, however, had slumped to the floor, a shocked look on his face.
"N-n-no v-v-video games? For a MONTH??"
Yusuke, who had come out from behind the table, snickered at his friends predicament. "Oh, wow, Kuwabara, no video games for an entire month! Do you want to write out your will now, or just let us decide who gets your stuff when you die?" He snickered again.
SMACK!
Suddenly Yusuke was lying on the floor, dazed, an angry Keiko standing over him, hand still in position for another slap.
Yukina had apparently noticed Hiei's presence, and rushed over to him, worried. "Are you alright, Hiei? We weren't able to heal—"
"I'm fine, I just wanted to get some food, but it seems…" he looked at the pancakes on the floor, juice on the walls, and…syrup? on the ceiling, "otherwise unattainable." He said, raising an eyebrow.
Yukina glanced at the kitchen, seeming to realize the extent of the mess. "Oh! Well, I can make some more, don't worry about that."
"How about we clean up a bit though, first?" Botan said, sailing through the window, and landing lightly on a clean spot.
"Yes, that WOULD be a good idea." Genkai said, dryly.
Yukina sighed, closing her eyes in the small island of peace, that consisted of her room at the moment. It was a bit after nine, and since that mornings, ah, excitement, there hadn't been any time to rest.
First they had cleaned they kitchen, made a new breakfast, then got down to business about the hunter, while Hiei had somehow gotten ahold of his katana (How had he gotten it back? Genkai had been holding it the entire time...). Yusuke, along with Kazuma, had been training. Kurama had gotten some of his Makai plants around the grounds, which would either send out an alarm should anything it didn't recognize come near it, or simply destroy the intruder. Yukina didn't much like the last one. Hiei had been searching all day with his Jagon, to make sure the hunter wasn't still around. She had fretted over him at first, but with multiple assurances that he was fine, had left him alone. She still checked on him every hour or so, though. She and Keiko had helped Genkai set up more wards. Well, as much as they could, anyway; mainly, they just got whatever supplies they Genkai needed, and ran errands. Botan had gone to Reikai to get more information on the hunter. Shizuru, however, had flitted from area to area, helping out when needed, making food, and running asked and unasked for errands. She had, however, ignored Kazuma completely, still put out over the grits incident; she had even bonked him on the head a few times.
She yawned. She was just so tired. All the excitement of the last two days had caught up with her. I'll just close my eyes, just…for…a minute…
A knock on the door, and Shizuru poked her head in. "Yukina, Genkai wants to…" She saw the koorime, looking like she had just collapsed on her bed and stayed there. She walked quietly over to her, and righted her into bed (seeing as how she looked about to fall off), and then left the room, not wishing to wake her.
Shizuru walked into the living room, where everyone else of the little posse was. Yusuke was on one half of the couch, leaning on the arm rest, eyes drooping; Kuwabara was on the other half, legs hanging off the end, snoring; Keiko between the two. Genkai was in a cushiony chair that dwarfed her small frame, and Kurama was in another chair, both of them looking worse for wear. "She's asleep." She said in her usual, non-chalent tone.
Everyone that could still comprehend their surroundings, nodded. Kurama looked around, noting the exhaustion. "Who will be keeping first watch tonight? We can't afford to be caught off guard."
"Hn. Leave that to me, fox."
Kurama looked to the window sill. He hadn't even noticed the fire youkai. He nodded. "Fine, but remember to wake someone else before you pass out, alright?" he said, a yawn puncturing the statement.
Hiei looked affronted, with a 'what-do-you-think-I-am-a-moron?'
Genkai nodded. "Everyone, off to bed. We've got a long day, tomorrow." she ordered, hauling herself out of the chair and towards her room. After seeing Keiko's frowning face turned towards the boys on the couch, she said, "Just leave them, it won't hurt them to sleep there." Yusuke had fallen asleep sometime during the short conversation. Everyone except Hiei, Kuwabara, and Yusuke, went to their respective rooms.
Hiei took his headband off, and opened his jagon. No one would be sneaking up on the temple tonight
