I was sitting here tonight, watching Inuyasha and staring at my new Tarot deck, and I came up with the idea for this fic. This is my scenario is what I think would happen if all the YYH guys, Keiko, and Shizuru went to get their Tarot cards read. Tell me what you think! First up: Hiei, of course? What else did you expect from me?

The Reikai Tantei, including Keiko and Shizuru, walked into the dingy psychic's shop. It was dark, and reeked of incense, herbal tea, and the walls had amny shelves contain mysterious bottles and small Buddha statuettes. Yusuke took one look around and laughed.

"So, this is what a psychic's shop is like? It's kinda...stupid," he said dumbly.

"Shut up, Urameshi! This is what my family does, too, and if you wanna take a crack at my family, then you'll have to answer to my fist," Kuwabara exclaimed, shoving his fist into Yusuke's face.

"Get ahold of yourself, Kuwabaka," said Yusuke, "I was just kidding!"

"Now now, boys," said Keiko, "Let's not fight. Who's going first?"

"I think Hiei should go first and have his Tarot done," said Kurama, chuckling to himself.

"Tch, like I would believe it anyway," said Hiei boredly, but he proceeded into the back room anyway.

When he entered, he found sitting there, to his great surprise, not and old woman. In fact, it was just a teenager. She was short, wearing a black and red kimono and sitting on a very ornate pillow next to a low table. Hiei sat on the pillow across from her and she looked up and smiled sweetly.

"Hello, Hiei Jaganshi," she said, and his eyes widened, "I've been expecting you for some time now."

Hiei looked startled and quite unsettled by this statement, but he quickly regained his composure. He snorted.

"Tch, yeah right. Let's just get with the Tarot thing." He glared at the young psychic. She bowed her head slightly.

"As you wish. This is how I do a basic Tarot spread. First, you must shuffle the cards in any manner you wish while thinking of a question you wish them to divine. Then, stating that question aloud, you hand me the cards and I lay down the spread. Simple enough?"

Hiei just "hned" and put out his hand. The psychic put the cards into his hands and tried of a good question to have answered. He finally settled on something about their next mission from Koenma. Concentrating hard on that question, he shuffled the cards clumsily, and then stopped. Handing the cards back to the girl, he stated his question aloud.

"Will our next Tantei mission be successful?"

The young psychic laid the cards out one at a time in the proper 10 card spread. The first card she laid out showed a picture of a young man leaning on a stick with many other sticks surrounding him. It had a Roman numeral 9 at the top.

"Ah, that's the Nine of Wands. This means you are to anticipate difficulties and changes, possibly danger. Hidden enemies and deception also are included in this card."

She laid out the second card. This one showed a large red heart with three swords piercing it.

"Here we are. The Three of Swords. This card depicts sorrow, disappointment, and strife. Dear, dear, this doesn't seem like a happy spread."

"Hn. Yeah, right." Hiei didn't seem fazed, but his mind was reeling with possibilities. God, and they're only on card two! The psychic laid out a third card. This one showed a boy on a horse holding a "wand" with a wreath on top. It looked promising, to say the least.

"Well, here's a change. This is the Six of Wands. It predicts conquest, triumph, good news, and desires realized as result of efforts."

This was too much for Hiei. He couldn't take this anymore.

"This isn't getting us anywhere! Tell me flat out, girl, will it be good or bad," he shouted, fuming quite badly.

"Only the cards can tell," she said vaguely. Hiei stormed into the front room at this comment, his red eyes glowing and steam rising off his skin.

"What happened, Hiei," Kurama asked, chuckling at the sight of his friend so worked up from a deck of cards.

"Those cards can't make up their minds! I can't take it!" Hiei began running around and hitting himself with random bottles, breaking them. He broke one in particular that smelled quite potently of daisies.

"AH! GIRLY SMELLS," Hiei screamed, spitting on his arms and trying desperately to wash off the smell.

"Well, that was a lost cause. I didn't think Hiei would react well to Tarot," Kurama laughed.

Well? What did you think? Is it funny? I wouldn't be surprised if it's not, because I'm not good at writing funny stories. Just R&R for me. Sayonara!
