Psychicfiredemoness: About time I updated this. And I would like to give a shout out to the Sci-fi channel just cause it jogged my memory of wanting to write this. Yeah, I was watching Tin Man.
Hiei: Get to the point.
Psychic: Whatever Toto.
Alex: I hate you…
Psychic: For your outfit? But it makes sense later!
Alex: Yeah but still!
Psychic: I own nothing.
Chapter 10 The Enma of Oz
Yukina woke to find herself in the temple. Bright light was filtering though the door of the living room. She walked outside to see a land very different from the temple grounds.
"We aren't in Japan anymore," she looked up to see Hiei approaching. He looked rather irritated.
"Then where are we?" she asked him standing up and looked at herself. She was in a blue and white plaid dress.
"We welcome you to the merry old land of Oz!" cried a familiar voice.
Both demons turned to see Rinku in outfit that was odd, even for him.
"What the hell are you doing?" Hiei asked clearly annoyed.
"Welcome to the Land of Munchkins! I'm the Mayor here!" he declared.
"And you good lady have crushed the Wicked Witch of the East!" they heard another familiar voice.
Sapphire was standing there in a sparkly blue dress with a star-tipped wand.
"And you have the Magical Sapphire slippers," She said pointing to Yukina's blue shoes.
"We killed someone?" Hiei asked.
"Yes, your house fell on the Wicked Witch of the East," she pointed to Alex's sister who was currently trying to free herself from under the temple, a red witch's hat atop her head.
Sapphire smacked her with the wand. "You're supposed to be dead!"
"Well I will be soon! I can't breathe!" she snapped.
"Anyways, you guys want to go home right?" Sapphire asked.
"Yes, please," Yukina said.
"Alright all you gotta do is spend on night in a haunted house," She said then laughed manically with lightning in the background.
"Wrong line!" Rinku threw an oversized lollipop at her head.
"Ok, ok sorry. You two must go the Emerald City and speak to the great Enma, a wizard. Just follow the yellow brick road and you'll be there in no time," Sapphire was then enclosed in a bubble and floated up towards the sky. "Hey wait I have to give them the warning!" She popped the bubble with the star and fell back to the ground.
She dusted herself off. "What's you're warning?" Hiei asked.
"Oh yeah, thanks for that Toto," she said and the male twitched, "Beware the Wicked Witch of the West!" She was again trapped in the bubble which this time rapidly sped her off to the sky.
"Shall we start then?" Yukina asked her brother. He merely nodded and they started off before anyone could start singing.
After a while the two happened upon a cornfield where many crows were resting on a poorly built scarecrow tied upon a stake. He was trying to shoo them away with his foul mouth and flailing.
"Shoo, shoo!" Yukina waved the birds away, "Do you need help Yusuke?"
"Yeah actually- I mean, I'm the Scarecrow and I have no brains, otherwise I could scare the birds away," Yusuke stated.
"Why the hell do you need brains to stand there? A scarecrow is merely to give the birds the impression that someone is there guarding the corn," Hiei stated.
"…" Yusuke thought on this, "Nope nothing can't think of a comeback without any brains."
"And it's going to stay that way!" cackled a female voice.
They turned to see Alex in a scanty witch's outfit and black hat as she sat sidesaddle on a broom.
"You'll never go home Dorothy! And you're little dog to!" she declared.
"That didn't make sense!" Yusuke declared, "I don't have brains and I could even tell that!"
"Well…I can't remember my lines that great ok!" she fumed and shot the youth with a fiery blast that shot his upper half apart from his body. "Oh yeah, you're made of straw, damnit. Well, it's no matter! You'll be stuck here forever!" She then flew away cackling.
"She isn't a very competent villain is she?" Hiei questioned aloud watching the demon fall from her broom in mid-flight as Yusuke helped reassemble Yusuke.
The three continued off down the brick road eventually coming upon a cabin. Kuwabara stood beside the cabin in what looked to be tin foil.
"A little help here!" he called, "I need someone to oil me!"
"Oh!" Yukina ran over and grabbed up the oil can on a nearby tree stump and squirted his joints.
"Thanks a lot Yukina," Kuwabara said.
"Hey why aren't you acting all weird like normal?" Yusuke asked.
"Well, I suppose it's cause I've got no heart," he sighed heavily.
"You should come with us to the Emerald City to see the Enma of Oz, maybe he can give you a heart," Yukina suggested.
"Really? That's great!" Kuwabara decided.
There was then a flash of smoke and Alex appeared on the broom again.
"Hey I remembered why I can't have Dorothy leave it's cause I need the Sapphire slippers for power…or something," she said, "See you guys later!" She flew of again gripping her broom for safety this time. She fell anyways.
"Is she alright?" Yukina wondered aloud, "We should go help her!" The girl ran off into the woods.
"But she's evil in this dream!" Kuwabara yelled running after followed by the other two.
"I am so walking from now on!" they saw Alex fly off leaving Yukina in an apple orchard.
"I take it she was fine?" Yusuke asked picking an apple and examining it. One hit his face. "What the hell!?"
"How dare you try to steal our apples! Thieves!" cried the trees whom started pelting the group with apples.
In one quick movement on Hiei's part the orchard ceased to be.
"Nice," Yusuke commented as the demon sheathed his sword.
"Who dares to enter my forest!?" cried an angry voice.
"I was wondering when you'd show up," Hiei stated. It was Kurama with a pair of silver ears on his head do to what appeared to be a headband and a silver tail pinned to the back of his pants.
"W-what, you knew I was here?" he asked sounding timid and looked close to tears.
"Are you alright?" Yukina asked.
He then explained to them without use of sound about having no courage and finally the group was complete and thus they headed for the Emerald City.
The large city came in sight several hours later.
"Hey look we can cross this field of- Are those muffins?" Yusuke asked pointing to the field of muffins.
"Yes, Poppy Seed muffins!" came the maniacal disembodied laugh of Alex, "Beware!"
"…Let's go around," Hiei stated.
They walked the rest of the path to the city and entered where they reached the palace of Oz. A large head appeared.
"Why are you here!?" demanded Koenma's teenage head.
"I want to go home."
"I want brains."
"I want courage."
"And I want a heart."
"Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West and we shall see!" he said and the head disappeared.
They left and soon enough they entered the Haunted Forest or whatever the hell it's called. And just as soon as they had entered were both Yukina and Toto- er, Hiei abducted by flying Chihuahua's! How is that possible? It's the magic of Hollywood!
"Haha! You are both now in my clutches! You have no hopes of escape- hey what the hell are you doing Hiei!?" Alex screamed as she was thrown over the demon's shoulder.
"Where are you going oniisan?" Yukina asked petting the many Chihuahua's.
"To negotiate," Hiei replied kicking the doors to a bedroom open.
"Oh, then this shouldn't take that long," Alex remarked briskly and was shot a deadly look by the male.
Elsewhere
"Alright," Yusuke said in a guard's uniform, "Which door do we take?"
He and his friends stood in a long hallway with several doors lining the walls.
"Let's just check all of them," Kurama sighed.
After checking every door they realized they only needed to take the stairs up to find the Koorime happily playing with the winged dogs.
"Are you ok Yukina?" the boys asked. She nodded happily.
"Although Hiei's been gone an awfully long time," she sounded worried.
"Really where is he?" Yusuke asked.
"He took the Witch into that room to negotiate," she stated.
Just then the two yokai exited the room, Hiei carrying the broom.
"It's the Witch run!" Yusuke threw a bucket of water on the blonde.
She twitched angrily and held out her hand to the demon beside her as she dripped. Hiei handed her the broom and she proceeded to beat the Scarecrow with it.
Oz's Office
"Ah you've done well to get this, well not really seeing as Hiei knocked up the epitome of all evil in the land," Koenma explained darkly taking the broom and handing it to Jorge who started sweeping. The males of the group all stared at Hiei who had turned slightly pink.
"Hn," he grunted, "Just take us home."
"Oh yes you're rewards," Koenma said and turned to Kurama, "Lion-"
"Fox," Kurama corrected.
"Close enough, you've proved your courage in going to save Yukina," he turned to Kuwabara, 'Search your feelings as you look upon the girl."
Kuwabara turned to Yukina and hearts started to pop around his head.
"Ah Yusuke," he turned to the Scarecrow, "There's nothing I can do for you seeing as stupidity is terminal."
"What!?" fumed the teen.
"Um, can we go home now?" Yukina asked.
"Oh yes. Yukina tap your Sapphire slippers together three times saying 'I wish I was home'," he instructed before turning towards Toto, "You however have to go raise your family now."
Hiei twitched when he shot up to find himself in a familiar living room.
"So you finally woke up eh?" Alex asked sitting at his feet as she stared at the credits rolling by of the dreadfully boring and musically inclined movie that had been on.
He stared at her suspiciously. "Are you pregnant?" he asked recalling Koenma's less than subtle remarks.
"No why- What were you dreaming about you pervert!?" She shrieked.
End Chapter
Psychic: Hehehe, I enjoyed writing that. I hate the movie, truly I do.
Alex: I still hate you…
Psychic: Yes because Hiei had foul thoughts and dreamt you in sluty attire. I get it. Well I hope everyone enjoyed. Unless someone reviews saying something like 'oh you ruined such a masterpiece you shouldn't be allowed to bash something so great!' I'll be pissed then.
Alex: Beware! I mean, review!
