A fox's tricks:

          It was a beautiful and warm April day in Puerto Rico. The beaches were full of happy people. People tanning, people swimming, people getting eaten by sea sponges. The warm sun was smiling down at all the happy people. The people all joined hands and started singing praises to the sun. Yup, it was a very happy day indeed. In fact it was so happy that even the most unhappy of people was happy. Even the bums sitting on the streets with doomsday signs were smiling. And look at that happy old lady being mauled to death by a happy little dog. Yes, very happy people. But....our story has nothing to do with the beach and doesn't take place in Puerto Rico.

          No, our story begins in a horrible place. A place of pure terror. A place so terrible rats are afraid to live there. It is a place far worse than anything you have ever imagined! It is...it is...AUTUMN'S BEDROOM!

          It was about 10AM on the first Thursday of April. Freckles the rabbit escaped from his cage and looked around. Nobody was home. He turned into his demon form and ran to the kitchen to raid the fridge. Tenka, as Freckles was called in his demon form, grabbed a big juicy carrot and went back to Autumn's room to watch TV.

          As he was flipping through channels he took a bite of carrot. His eyes widened and he immediately spit the carrot back out. He looked at the carrot. It was made of a paper towel roll and inside was toothpaste. He glared at the offending carrot. He then heard the most disturbing thing of his life come from the TV.

          "Happy April Fool's Day everyone!" Said the news reporter's voice.

          Tenka looked at the carrot again. There was a note sticking out of it that had a smiley face sticking its tongue out. The smiley face had two black fox ears on it. Underneath the smiley it said 'Gotcha!' Tenka looked up at the ceiling, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~*~Meanwhile at the hell hole called High School:

          A group of people were pointing and laughing at someone making his way through the crowd. It was a boy with hazel eyes and brown hair. He looked very unhappy as he scanned the cafeteria for the one person he could blame his unhappiness on. He found her.

          "AUTUMN!!!!!!!!" he yelled as he ran over to the lunch table and slammed his hands down on the table.

          A girl with dark brown hair and cloudy blue eyes smiled at him. "Ello Hinote! What can I do for you?"

          "What the hell did you do to my clothes?!?" Hinote yelled pointing at the clothes he was wearing. They were pink. Not just pink but BRIGHT NEON pink.

          The other two girls at the table burst out laughing. Autumn smiled innocently, "What makes you think I did that?"

          "Well, when I opened my closet this morning all my clothes had been replaced with bright neon pink outfits! And I found this!" Hinote held out a tag that said 'Gotcha!' with a fox smiley face sticking out its tongue.

          Autumn grinned, "What a cute little tag!"

          "I'll get you for this!" Hinote said before storming away.

          Autumn waved at his retreating form, "Ok I luv ya buh-bye!"

          "That was mean, Autumn!" Autumn's friend, Kelly said.

          Autumn smirked evilly, "I know."

          "You're so nice." OkageHime, Autumn's other friend, said sarcastically.

          Autumn's smirk grew, "And this is only the beginning of my April Fool's Day pranks. A fox has to have her tricks, you know."

          'Honestly, I think this is the best holiday you humans ever came up with.'

          Glad you like it, Harmony. Autumn replied to her demon half before turning her attention back to her lunch.

          'I wish we could see Hiei's reaction to the prank we pulled on him...'

          I just hope Kurama can keep him from killing us.

          'Well, technically he'll kill you, not me. If you die then I'm free so I really don't care if he kills you.'

          Oh gee thanks, I feel so loved.

~*~Halfway across the planet in the distant country of Japan:

          Yusuke was sleeping late. He always slept late. It was only school, what'd he care if he was late? He yawned and stretched. It had been a good night for sleeping. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw...The single most hideous thing he had ever seen in his life.

          There was a rather large poster of Kuwabara smiling on the ceiling above Yusuke's bed. Yusuke screamed and eventually passed out from lack of air. He woke up several minutes later and passed out from screaming again. This went on for about an hour before Yusuke rolled off his bed onto the floor. He then stood on a chair and ripped the poster off his ceiling with a broom.

          There was a tag attached to the poster. Yusuke took it off and looked at it. His eyes narrowed accusingly. "Autumn...you will pay..."

          He then quickly got dressed in his normal green outfit and ran out the door. He would go to school for lunch and then he would track that kitsune down and make her suffer for that poster. As he was running past the park he heard a scream and a splash. Not thinking anything of it he kept running to the school.

          If he had stopped in the park he would've seen the funniest sight of his life. Hiei, after being woken up by a swarm of angry bees protecting their hive, had walked over to the fountain in the middle of the park in order to wash his face. There he had seen the most horrible sight of his life...no wait second most horrible sight of his life, the first being Kuwabara.

          He had screamed and then fallen into the fountain with a splash after fainting. He woke right back up and stared at his reflection. His hair...was PINK?!? Yes folks, Hiei had neon pink hair. It looked very out of place since he was wearing all black.

          For a long time he sat in the fountain staring at his reflection. He didn't move at all. In fact, he was sitting so still that people thought he was part of the fountain and pigeons flocked all over him. Now his hair was not only neon pink but also full of pigeon crap. Still he stayed staring at his reflection. He fainted again and fell into the water again. This successfully shooed the pigeons away from him and washed the crap out of his hair.

          He woke back up and hopped out of the fountain to find whoever had done the unthinkable to his hair. He would find the person and make them die a slow painful death. But first, he needed a hat. He most certainly was NOT going to be seen in public with pink hair. He realized there were children laughing at him. He growled at the children no doubt making sure to remember them so he could kill them later. He then hopped away quickly to find a hat.

          Kuwabara walked up to his locker and opened it. As soon as he put his hand in it something attached itself to his pointer finger. He pulled his hand back out and saw that it was one of those finger traps. He tried to pull it off but, being Kuwabara, managed to get his other pointer finger stuck in the other end. His fingers were now stuck and he couldn't get them out. The bell for next class rang. Kuwabara cursed and shut his locker, with much difficulty before rushing off to class.

          His next class was gym. Not only that, but they were doing Baseball in gym. The fates must really love Kuwabara, ne? Kuwabara was grumbling as he took his place with his team. Yusuke showed up and stood to the side. He had just come to watch. He never participated in gym.

          It was Kuwabara's turn as pitcher. He was fumbling to hold the ball. He finally managed to hold the ball awkwardly in his hand and pitched it. He was quite proud of himself as he watched the ball fly out of his hand. His proud smile quickly faded as he watched the ball drop to the ground two inches from where he was standing.

          Yusuke burst out laughing, "Nice one Kuwabara! The batter never saw it coming!"

          "SHUT UP URAMESHI! I can't do anything with this stupid thing on my fingers!" Kuwabara yelled.

          The rest of gym class went by very slowly. Kuwabara got hit with the ball a few times, dropped the bat on his toe, and managed to somehow tear his mitt in half. His team lost. After gym Yusuke and Kuwabara were sitting in their next class talking.

          "So, do you have any idea how the finger trap got into your locker?" asked Yusuke.

          Kuwabara looked at the finger trap. He noticed for the first time that there was a white piece of paper tied around it. Yusuke took it off and looked at it. He frowned and showed Kuwabara the 'Gotcha!' tag.

          "Autumn." Both boys said at the same time.

          Kurama, on the other hand, had been having a wonderful day. Nothing at all had gone wrong. He was as happy as could be. It was a bright sunny day. The birds were chirping. The sky was cloudless. The leaves rustled in the slight breeze. Yup, he was perfectly fine. Aw hell, he was miserable.

          He had woken up that morning to find that his shoes had been replaced with Pink Bunny slippers. His school bag had been replaced with a white bunny shaped backpack. His school books had bunny stickers all over them. His homework also had bunny stickers on it. In fact, his whole room had been "bunnyfied".

          His alarm clock was now shaped like a bunny. His curtains were pink with bunnies on them. His blanket was purple with bunnies. He had stuffed animal bunnies all over his room. His desk had been covered with bunny things. His chair had been replaced with a yellow bunny chair. There were bunny posters everywhere. His doorknob had bunnies hanging from it. There was a mobile with bunnies hanging from his ceiling. His lamp had a light blue bunny lampshade on it. Even his hairbrush had bunnies on it.

          Needless to say, when Kurama saw this he did what any normal teenage boy would do...He screamed and fainted. He woke up to his mother shaking him. She looked really worried. After explaining that he hadn't put the bunnies there he had realized he was going to be late for school. He had quickly gotten ready and, despite his pride, put on the pink bunny slippers. People had been laughing about the slippers all day. He was going to kill whoever it was that had bunnyfied his room.

          He was walking home from school carrying his bunny bag and staring at his bunny slippers when he saw a familiar black blur out of the corner of his eye. But something was wrong...

          Was that...pink?!?

          Kurama's suspicions were confirmed as Hiei hopped out of the tree nearby and landed in front of him. Kurama's eyes widened. He then burst out laughing. "Hiei, what happened to your hair???" Kurama asked between laughs.

          Hiei glared daggers at Kurama, "Your stupid mate, that's what."

          "What do you mean?" Kurama was confused. What did Autumn have to do with Hiei's hair being neon pink?

          Hiei held out the tag that he had found in his cloak pocket just a few minutes before. "That baka kitsune must've dyed my hair pink while I was sleeping!"

          "Are you sure? That doesn't sound like something Autumn would do..."

          "Are you stupid?!? Of course it's something Autumn would do! She's crazy!"

          Kurama frowned. He was about to say something when some people walking by laughed at both of them. They laughed at Hiei for his hair and Kurama for the bunnies. Kurama quickly pulled Hiei off to his house. When they got inside they were greeted by Kurama's stepbrother, Shuuichi. Shuuichi started laughing at the sight of seeing Kurama with bunny slippers and a bunny bag and Hiei with pink hair.

          "Go away, squirt." Kurama said grumpily.

          Shuuichi held a card out to Kurama. "Shuichi, Autumn wanted me to give you this after the prank."

          "What is it?" Kurama took it and looked at the tag. It was exactly like the one Hiei had. He was sure of it now. "Autumn is going to pay for this..."

          Hiei was poking at his hair. "Do you have a hat I can wear?"

          "Probably..." Kurama led the way into his room to look for a hat.

          Hiei started laughing when he saw the room. "So this is what Autumn did to you?"

          "I am very sick of seeing bunnies." Kurama growled as he opened his closet door causing some bunny plushies to fall on him. He started looking through his closet and eventually pulled out a black cowboy hat. "Will this do?"

~*~Meanwhile back in the States:

          Flash was just getting home from school. It had been a very uneventful day. The funniest thing that had happened was Hinote showing up in bright pink clothes. That had been a laugh. Hinote had been extremely pissed off at Autumn. He looked like he was about to strangle her.

          Flash hadn't had any problems. She had been suspicious though. She was relieved that nothing had happened throughout the day. She figured that she was off the hook since school was over and Autumn hadn't attacked her on the way home.

          She walked into the house. It was quiet...too quiet. She moved into the kitchen to get herself some coffee. That's when she saw it. Her coffee had been replaced...with the milk from school!!!!!!!

          "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Flash screamed as she ran upstairs to her secret stash. It had also been replaced. She curled into a fetal position and started sucking her thumb.

          After staying like that for a while she decided to find out who had done the unthinkably horrible deed. After searching the cupboards she found the tag. Her eye twitched.

          "Autumn, for the honor of my coffee, I swear I will make you pay!" Flash stormed out of the house to find the fox.

          She went to the park where Autumn usually went with Freckles. Flash was walking around looking for any sign of the soon-to-be-dead fox. Instead she found Hinote talking to Tenka. She walked up to them.

          "Hey Flash." Hinote greeted with a small wave.

          Tenka noticed Flash's angry face. "Something wrong?"

          "Yah." Flash held out the tag. Tenka and Hinote took out their tags too.      

          Hinote frowned, "We have to get her back for this."

          "What's the plan?" A voice asked from behind them.

          It was Yusuke. He and Kuwabara had just come through a portal. All five of them held out their tags to show the others. It was sort of like a new greeting. They were interrupted yet again by Hiei and Kurama walking up. Without thinking everyone showed their tags.

          Hinote saw the bunny slippers on Kurama's feet and burst out laughing. Yusuke, Flash, and Kuwabara also started laughing. Then they started laughing at Hinote. Finally, they stared at Hiei strangely because he was wearing a cowboy hat.

          "So, Hiei...what'd the fox do to you?" Yusuke asked.

          Hiei grumbled and held the hat down on his head. He would NOT be seen with pink hair by his friends. Flash walked over and took the hat off his head. Everyone burst out laughing at seeing Hiei with pink hair. Hiei snatched the hat back and put it on.

          "I still can't get this stupid thing off!" Kuwabara yelled holding up his hands. He still had the finger trap on.

          Kurama sighed and walked over. He took Kuwabara's hands and moved them close together before pulling them apart. The finger trap fell to the ground. Kuwabara pulled Kurama into a friendly hug. "Kurama you're now officially my best friend!"

          Kurama was gagging at being so close to Kuwabara. "Please, let me go..."

          "Kuwabara! Stop it! You'll kill Kurama with your horrible stench!" Tenka yelled.

          Yusuke looked around. "Well, what happened to everyone?"

          "Autumn bunnyfied my room." Kurama sighed after finally getting free from Kuwabara.

          Hiei laughed remembering what Kurama's room looked like. Kurama glared at him. Tenka sighed, "Autumn replaced the carrots with cardboard tubes full of toothpaste."

          "She replaced my coffee with school milk!" Flash growled angrily.

          Yusuke shivered, "She put a poster of Kuwabara smiling on my ceiling so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up."

          "Ouch, that's bad." Hinote said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Kuwabara looked confused.

          Flash looked around at everyone, "So we all want to get even with the fox. The question is...how?"

          "Let's kill her." Hiei said simply.

          Kurama looked horrified, "NO! We can't do that!"

          "Sure we can!" Yusuke said, agreeing with Hiei.

          Kurama shook his head furiously, "No! No! No! I won't let you kill her!"

          "Neither will I!" Tenka piped in.

          Hinote smirked evilly. "I have an idea..."

          "Do tell." Flash seemed interested by his smirk.

            Hinote's smirk widened. "Well..."

          Everyone gathered around Hinote to hear his plan. They knew they would have to work quickly before the day was done...
