Crossovers Should Be Illegal, Kidnapping Should Not
Pre-chapter one:
Ryouko: I'm never dreaming again…
Himizu: Good… (-.-()) You and your ideas… they're great and all, but what the hell, we just started another fic yesterday!!!
Ryouko: And just as huge. (sigh) That's what happens when I dream, or think, for that matter. Why'd the Blue Jackets have to show up in my dreams anyway? They're my dreams, in my head, they need to be in your head!!!
Himizu: I have no objection to that… but you never know, maybe they thought you were me. Hm… an insult?
Ryouko: (-.-#) No, a compliment. But they should've checked out our rooms first. Mine looks like an ocean and yours looks like a hockey gift shop (hint hint HINT).
Himizu: Hehehe… point taken… anyways, back to the fic… this fic was semi-inspired by Ryouko's dream, semi-inspired by Midsummer Night's Nightmare, and mostly inspired by the fact that we've reunited which has hardwired our brains.
Ryouko: Not to mention jetlag and caffeine, but we'll get to that later…Basically, A Midsummer Night's Nightmare should be read before attempting to understand this fic (and reviewed while we're at it, but that's beside the point), but if you're lazy, like most people who read this are, then you don't have to read AMNN before. But it's advised.
Himizu: She's review starved, can't you tell? But she's right, it's one of our faves, but it only has two reviews… Anyways, basically reading that fic will tell you why Kitsune and I are in the House of the Nutcases and it will explain why the Blue Jackets are even willing to associate with Ryouko plus other little details involving my fave hockey team and us authoresses.
Ryouko: So yeah, advised, but not necessary. And while we're at it, we're gonna' go and add a disclaimer, but I'll leave that to Himizu. I'll just add that the House of the Nutcases is owned by us, so ha!
Himizu: Oh good, I get the hard part… We do not own… (takes a deep breath) the Blue Jackets, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, Rave Master, Prince of Tennis, Black Cat, Teen Titans, Inuyasha, Detective Conan, or Ranma ½. (Falls over gasping)
Ryouko: (-.-()) Yeah, what she said. I think we got it all, but if there's anything else, we'll add it later. And in our subconscious minds, we know we don't own it, so leave us alone.
Himizu: Review! (gasps and drops unconscious).
Ryouko: (-.-()()) Again, what she said…And try to enjoy. Wait a sec, try? Enjoy it. If you don't, stop reading. It's not worth it. Well, yes it is, but I'm biased.
Himizu: (wakes up) Shut up and let them read already.
Ryouko: (grumble) I like you better when you're quiet. Oh well, enjoy! (runs away as Himizu brandishes a mallet and starts chasing her).
Chapter One:
Himizu was in her room at the House of the Nutcases after the Midsummer Night's Nightmare incident, bored out of her skull. Ryouko had flown off to Israel to take care of business (and to see her family. Apparently you need to do that…) and since Kitsune was also confined, she couldn't see her even though they were in the same building (same floor actually, but they didn't know that). Also, her beloved notebook, which happened to contain her beloved Rick Nash's phone number, had also been taken away. Thus, she was bored, and depressed. Maybe if she jumped out the window, her adored Blue Jackets team would come to her funeral. Now that was worth dying for. All of a sudden, she heard a horn honking on the street outside. She looked outside and didn't believe her eyes, because what she saw was none other than the Blue Jacket's bus. Without thinking, she jumped out the window, landing on top of one unfortunate, tired tiger.
Himizu prepared to meet the Holy Duck, then opened her eyes. "That's weird, I survived. Yay!" she said aloud. Then she looked down at what broke her fall and apparently saved her life, and again, she couldn't believe her eyes. "Ryouko??? What are you doing here??? I thought you were in Israel!!!" she exclaimed.
Ryouko painfully stood up, dusted herself off, and started mangling Himizu. "You baka, you missed. If you wanted to kill yourself, you should've landed on a Chevrolet." She nodded as she recalled one of her favorite Israeli songs. "Yeah, anyways, I came to visit, and my plane landed at the Columbus airport and these guys were here, they just got back from someplace…"
As they talked, Rick, Nik, and Jody had all climbed out of the bus to see if Himizu was okay after her suicide dive and subsequent mangling by Ryouko. Luckily for them, Himizu did not see them.
Despite being mangled, Himizu grinned. "Oh, you mean their West coast road trip where they beat Anaheim 3-2, and Rick Nash scored, and they beat Los Angeles 2-1 in overtime and they lost to San Jose…."
"Yeah yeah yeah, shut up," Ryouko said, knowing very well the consequences of letting Himizu rant about hockey… there was a reason the girl was in the House of the Nutcases after all. She waved to the hockey players to get back on the bus while they still could. "Anyways, they offered me a ride here, and they're leaving."
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" (T.T) Himizu teared up. They were leaving before she could glomp Rick Nash? How totally unfair was that? (Ryouko: … No comment…) But she was way too late to stop the Blue Jackets from driving away, so she tried to content herself with watching them. Ryouko glanced towards them too, for lack of anything else to look at. But as they watched, they saw the Blue Jackets' bus vanish in a flash of light as though it had been sucked into a black hole. Himizu yelped in surprise. "What the hell??? What happened??? Where did they go??? They were there and then all of a sudden they were gone!!! Poof!!! What the hell???" she cried, totally freaking out. Ryouko blinked.
"Cool, now they're gone and I won't have to see them anymore…" she said calmly. Himizu started strangling her.
"BAKA BAKA BAKA!!! MY BLUE JACKETS ARE GONE AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS THAT IT'S COOL???" Himizu screamed. Ryouko broke loose, whacked Himizu on the head, and twitched a few times.
"I HAVE TO FIND THEM!!!" Himizu screamed.
"Ok… fine… let's go investigate," Ryouko said calmly. She pulled a Sherlock Holmes hat and coat out of nowhere as well as a magnifying glass, and walked to the scene of the crime. Himizu sweatdropped at the idiocy of it all, but joined in anyways, praying that they wouldn't get hit by a bus while standing in the middle of the road. Ryouko picked up an envelope.
"What's this?" she asked, putting on white gloves first and opening the note. Himizu peered over her shoulder to read as well.
"To Whom It May Concern (HIMIZU AND KITSUNE)…"
"Okay then…" said Himizu, twitching.
"This letter is to inform you that your ducky Ryouko has been abducted. If you want to see her alive again… find us! Bwa ha ha! Yours truly, the Kidnappers."
"… What the heck? Who says 'ducky'?" Himizu asked. Then it hit her. "Wait a minute… Ryouko's been kidnapped???" She stared at Ryouko in confusion. Ryouko stared back.
"Well, it's a good thing they decided to inform me, cuz I don't feel kidnapped!" Ryouko said. "Wait a minute…the Blue Jackets disappeared, and we get a letter informing us that I was kidnapped. Two minutes ago, I was on that bus. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"… Yes…" Himizu twitched angrily. "Damn you, why couldn't you have taken a taxi like a normal person???"
"You wouldn't have gotten to see them if I did and besides, taxis are expensive from Columbus."
"AND THANKS TO YOU, I MIGHT NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN!!!" Himizu screamed at Ryouko, going psycho again.
"…Whatever," was Ryouko's reply. "But you know what, I'll help you find them and get them back."
Himizu stopped her psycho tirade and stared at her friend suspiciously. "Why the change of heart?"
"Well," Ryouko stated, "they were really nice to me, they tolerated me for over 30 minutes (which is a record for people who don't know me), but most importantly, they gave me a free ride." Ryouko nodded as Himizu did an anime fall smack on her face.
At that particular moment, Kitsune ran out of the House of the Nutcases. "BLUE JACKETS!!! HIMIZU!!! RYOUKO!!!" she screamed as five doctors ran out behind her. Suddenly she froze, pointed behind the two girls, and screamed, "SEMI!!!"
The two girls turned, saw the semi, turned and stared at each other, turned back to the semi, screamed, waved their arms, and dove to opposite sides of the road while the burly semi driver screamed and cursed at the two stupid girls who had been standing in the middle of the road.
"What the heck were you doing???" Kitsune screamed.
"Kitsune! Ryouko has been kidnapped!!!" Himizu screamed.
Kitsune pulled out a white rose. "Poor Ryouko. She will be missed."
Ryouko ran across the road to her and beat her with a mallet. "I'M STILL HERE, YOU IDIOT!!!" she yelled. Himizu sweatdropped. "The ones who aren't here, are the Blue Jackets." Himizu and Kitsune started rampaging.
"BLUE JACKETS!!! NOOOO!!! BRING THEM BACK, BRING THEM BAAAACKKKK!!!!" Ryouko sweatdropped (-.-()) and hit them both on the head.
"Do you want them back or not?" Both girls nodded. "Good, then lets go find them." But as they were walking away, the doctors and assistants that were following Kitsune grabbed the two patients by their collars.
"What are you doing out of your rooms?" they yelled. "You need to be under constant supervision!"
Himizu blew up. "Leave us alone, you freaks, we've got to get the Blue Jackets back. Screw off!"
Ryouko sighed. "I can't do this by myself, and I'll go nuts if I have to stay here with you, listening to your psycho-babble about the tortures being used on the Blue Jackets as we speak…no, no I was joking!!!" she leaped back as Kitsune and Himizu both tried to lunge at her. "Anyways, I'll sign them out."
So, after about an hour of paperwork, with the three girls packed for an adventure (most of their stuff was left at the House of the Nutcases), they sat down in a little café to have a light lunch, and to form a plan of attack.
While they were eating, they spotted Kurama and Hiei walking down the street. All three formed light bulbs over their head, and ran out and tackled the two surprised demons.
"What the hell?" a dazed Hiei said, as he stared up in horror at Ryouko, the girl who had caused so much misery in his life. "I thought you were in Israel!"
"Yeah, that rumor's been going around lately…" Ryouko said.
"Liar, you've been there! You just got back, using my precious Blue Jackets and having them kidnapped in your place!" an angry Himizu hissed. Hiei stared at the two girls for a second, then shook Ryouko's hand.
"Good job. You did something right, for once," he said. Ryouko slapped him, hard, saving Himizu the trouble of beating him up. All of a sudden, they noticed the unusual blue color of Kurama's face. Kitsune was hugging him to death, as usual. Ryouko walked up to her and pried Kurama out her grasp, allowing him to breathe for the first time since their encounter.
"So, what is it this time?" Kurama asked. Ryouko quickly summarized the main events of the past three hours, which left the two demons blinking in confusion and sighing at the stupidity of the world they live in.
"So now, you guys get to help us find my team!" a happy Himizu said.
"Yeah, consider it an honor." Ryouko rolled her eyes.
"Great…" Hiei sighed, but joined in anyways. They started leaving, when all of a sudden an angry waitress walked out the door, shaking her fist.
"You morons, you didn't pay! Get back here!" she yelled.
Himizu carefully counted the exact change out of her wallet, wrapped it around a rock, put a rubber band over it (to hold it in place) and chucked it at the waitress, who ducked at the last second and continued screaming at the girls. She picked up the rock, and two seconds later, the girls' three bags were hurled back at them. They each picked them up, and with Kurama and Hiei at their side, started their investigation.
