Looks like Genkai is stuck as a toddler for now, which makes it hell for the six demons and amusement for us. ((smiles))

I'm sorry for not updating sooner, but I hope I can make it up to you all with this chapter. The horror ensues! Disclaimer, Yusuke!

Yusuke: Yeah, sure. Zephyrus can own Yu Yu Hakusho just as much as I can turn my insides out.

Why does everyone have to be so mean about it?!


Genkai was getting bored from just walking... Actually, for her it was being carried, so she just absentmindedly tapped Touya's head. The ice master sighed. "What is it?" The little girl didn't reply; as she found hitting his head more and more amusing, she pounded harder and faster.

"Stop it!" he yelled at his passenger. She only giggled and continued to smash his poor skull. Touya had to restrain himself from freezing her. 'Remember, she is your master... And she is only a little girl.' He thought with frustration. "La la la la la!" Genkai sung as Touya's head posed as a drum.

Shishi snickered at this, while the others only stared in amusement. "Stop it right now!" Touya jerked his head back until Genkai lost her grip and started to fly. "Woah!" Jin caught her with both hands before she hit the ground. "I'm appalled, Touya. I had never known you to abuse children." Shishi mocked.

Touya stood, gaping at him, Chuu, and Suzuki, each of them giving him disapproving looks. Genkai started giggling at the situation. Jin smiled at his adorable master in his hands. "I'll carry her for a while."

Touya stifled a laugh. "Go ahead. Just don't complain." Jin gave him a weird look, but shrugged as he placed her on his broad shoulders and grinned. "Rinku?" Chuu looked at the child demon walking towards them, furrowing his brow. "Is it safe?" he asked sheepishly. "Damn. I was hoping for a massacre." Shishi snapped his fingers in disappointment.

Genkai peeked from behind Jin's head and waved happily at Rinku. He blinked. "Ehehe... Did I do that?" Rinku put his hands behind his head nervously. Suzuki sighed. "What's done is done. Right now we're trying to find an ice cream store or something..." He glanced around the bustling city.

"I just saw one over the corner. Not many customers, so we don't have to wait in line." Rinku motioned to a building. "Pointy!" Jin stiffened and rolled his eyes up to his head. There Genkai was, reaching for his glorious, beloved horn. "NO! Get it off! Get it off! GET IT OFF!!!!" The redhead screamed in horror, earning quite a few odd stares from people off the street.

Chuu quickly removed the little girl from Jin's shoulders before he started to thrash. "Careful there! You might've hurt her! And then what!?" Despite appearances, Chuu was actually very gentle. With children, that is; everyone else was unfortunately plowed over.

"I warned you." Touya said, hinting a slightly taunting voice. Jin did a particularly nasty raspberry in his direction, but proceeded to walk with the others to the shop. Upon entering the place they had sought after, they marveled at the ice cream put on display.

Suzuki's eyes sparkled. "Look at all the colors..." Jin wiped the drool from his mouth. "Look at all the flavors..." Chuu stared a couple of the servers, who were women. "Look at all the workers..." Touya looked at the ice box, which was overflowing with cold ice cubes. "Look at all the ice cubes..." Rinku saw all the sweet toppings, including sprinkles, chocolate chunks, and chocolate fudge, nearly drooling as much as Jin. "Look at all the sugar..."

And lastly, looking at the ordering board, Shishi's eyes bugged out of his head. "Look at all the prices!!" Genkai fidgeted in Chuu's grasp, trying to get into the ice cream. "Well, it's self-serve, so why don't we get some sugar cones and...-" Suzuki's jaw dropped to the floor when he saw Genkai break free from Chuu and dig her hands into the open, unguarded ice cream.

Like a beast, she clawed all she could get into her fingers and scooped the ice cream to her face. "NO! Bad Genkai!" Chuu quickly pulled her away from the stands and the screaming cashiers. Genkai huffed and tried to fight, but couldn't because of Chuu's inhuman strength. Red faced with rage, one of the workers stomped up to the closest person, which unfortunately for him, was Touya.

"Ma'am... I'm sorry, we'll be more careful next time." Touya apologized, staring down at the short, squat woman. "You break it, you buy it!!" She yelled in his face, and poor Touya was sweating his brains out. "We didn't break anything you crazy woman!" Shishi retorted. She gave him a look, and was about to say something until Suzuki intervened.

"We're sorry. Here, the payment." Suzuki paid the woman a fair amount of money for the... damage made. She gave a curt nod, satisfied, and suddenly gave them all a sugary smile. "Enjoy our delicious ice cream, dears." With that, she simply walked behind the counter, counting cash.

The group stared blankly but shrugged. "Flavors anyone?" Suzuki asked. "Oh! Oh! I want a hurricane flurry with all those flavors and lot and lots and lots of sprinkles!" Jin bounced up and down like a hyper child. Shishi rolled his eyes. "Strawberry."

"I want chocolate, two scoops, with extra chocolate fudge, and cookie crumbs!" Rinku said happily. "Mint chocolate chip." Touya decided, after carefully viewing the menu board. "Rocky road ice cream I guess. They wouldn't happen to have sake too, would they?" Chuu scratched his head, looking at his options. "And I'll have a rainbow sherbet." Suzuki concluded.

"What would you like?" Suzuki kneeled down to his young master. "All of them!" She grinned happily. "But we can't... It's too much..." Genkai frowned, looking sad, but then she grew unnaturally feral. "ALL OF THEM!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, nearly giving Suzuki a heart attack. "Alright... All of them..." The former clown said quietly, giving into her wishes.

Suzuki ordered at the counter and handed over the money due. Chuu offered to scoop for all of them, so he took a separate sugar cone and scooped rainbow sherbet into it, handing it to the blond. "Here you go. Since you paid for all of this, you get yours first."

"Yeah! Thanks Suzuki!" Jin's ear twitched. He took the cone and started licking it. Touya seemed a little suspicious though. "Since when did you get all that money in the first place?"

Suzuki glanced at him briefly as he continued to lick his ice cream. "It came from Shishi's budget."

"WHAT?!" The azure haired demon exploded, nearly allowing his horns and fangs to show. Chuu and Jin had to hold him back from murdering Suzuki. "Oops. Did I say that out loud?" He feigned innocence.

Chuu scooped the mint chocolate chip flavor into a cone and handed it to Touya, who thanked him politely. When Shishi got his, he twisted his face in disgust. "What? It has chunks of strawberry in it?"

"Duh! That's why they call it 'strawberry ice cream'." Rinku retrieved his own and started to lick it mercilessly. "You little brat... Aside from that, why are there chunks in here? This completely ruins my-" Shishi didn't have time to say more as Suzuki shoved his dessert into his mouth. "Stop complaining." Shishi glared at him, but said nothing as he slurped up his sweet treat quietly.

"And here's yours." Jin grabbed the ice cream out of Chuu's hands and swallowed it whole. The others stared wide-eyed in silence; Rinku watched in mid-lick and Touya's ice cream dropped to the floor. "I don't think that's good for the digestive system." he commented, ignoring the melting, sticky ice cream by his feet.

Chuu scooped up his own and started to eat it. Little Genkai, however, was the only one who didn't receive her treat. She looked at them all one by one, but nobody noticed her. Angry by the lack of attention she was getting, she stomped her foot on the ground and threw a wild tantrum. "ICE CREAM! I WANT MY ICE CREAM! IIICCCEEE CRRREEAAAMMM!!!" She started kicking them all in the shin (and the stomach for Rinku since he was so short) and screaming.

Chuu hastily scooped up every single flavor there was into one cone. Surprisingly, he was able to balance it all. "Here, ice cream." He handed the skyscraper of an ice cream to her, which she happily accepted. "This could get messy..." Shishi murmured. Jin nodded in agreement. "You're right! Let's take it outside." The group ushered Genkai out the door, amazingly fitting the ice cream through as well.

Genkai was finally able to enjoy her dessert and was about to dig in, but paused. She looked up with an adorably childlike stare. Oh no! It was much too high for her to reach. She stuck out her tongue in attempt to reach the top flavor. The group of demons watched her and sweatdropped. "You have got to be kidding me..." Touya said as he face faulted.

"Up... up!" Genkai used her free hand to reach, but only made it up to the first three scoops out of forty... The ice cream was starting to melt in the sun. "Uh oh..." Jin watched as a drop of lemon ice cream fell to the ground. Eagerly, Genkai crouched down.

"You're gonna be sick if you eat off the ground!" Jin pulled her up before her tongue reached the filthy sidewalk, but that swayed the balance of the ice cream...

PLOP.

Shishi stood, unmoving as half of the ice cream fell on top of him. Suzuki burst out laughing. "More ice cream, Shishi?" Rinku asked before he cracked up. (A/N: I'm not bashing Shishi. He's just having bad day. I will do that to everyone... Oh yes.)

"You incompetent BRAT!!" Shishi started yelling at Genkai, who was shaken by the fact someone had yelled at her. She accidentally let go of her cone and Touya found himself pelted with twenty scoops of ice cream on the head. The little girl's eyes started to water as she looked at her lonely, empty cone completely ruined... with NO ice cream in it.

"That won't work on me!" Shishi said angrily, looking like a madman covered with colorful liquid sliding off of him. Her bottom lip quivered uncontrollably, and it was beginning to be a sad sight to see. Her watery eyes looked to Touya, and then fixed on Shishi. She started to sniffle, but instead of bawling out loud, she crouched on the ground and started to sob.

Jin stood alert and immediately went to comfort the girl. "We'll get you a new, even better ice cream okay?" he said cheerily, but frowned when she wouldn't stop crying. "Ice cream... Dead..." She raised a shaky finger at Touya, then switched over to Shishi, who only blinked in response. Her eyes were furious and more accusing than her finger. "You... you... MURDERER!!!!" she screeched. The group fell headfirst into the ground, twitching.

Her comment turned almost all heads on the street to Shishi. The outburst earned a few 'Oh my word... That treacherous man!' comments as well. Genkai laid flat on her stomach, pounding her fists on the ground, which surprisingly drove various little dents into the concrete. "You killed my ice cream! You killed it!!" Her legs kicked wildly as Chuu, Suzuki, and Rinku tried to calm her down.

Shishi looked around and glared at the bystanders. "What are you looking at?!" he barked. Everyone automatically returned to what they were doing and the dog on the street continued to pee on the fire hydrant.

Touya tried to wipe the sweet substance off his clothes and face, but it stuck to him like glue. "Stop crying!" Rinku said, covering his ears and squeezing his eyes shut. A soft chuckle came from behind the distressed group.

"You seem to have a bit of a problem." The demons swiveled around and saw Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama standing there, looking quite amused. Yusuke threw his hand up and grinned. "Hey guys. It's been a while!"

Suzuki picked up the sniffling Genkai, who was calming down a bit, and smiled at their friends. "And who is this?" Kurama asked, smiling warmly at Genkai's oblivious expression. "This is Gen... OUCH!" Jin choked as he got punched in the back by Chuu.

"Gen! Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen?" Suzuki covered.

Kuwabara looked at her strangely. "Genkai?"

"No, dumbass. How could it be Genkai? She's an old hag... Well that could be her if she had some wrinkles." Yusuke leaned forward and squinted at the toddler. "You forgot that I have spiritual awareness—not to mention a sword—and I'm telling you, that's gotta be like Genkai's kid or something! I can feel it..." The orange haired teen shivered.

"Don't be ridiculous! She's uh... Genkai's friend's cousin's son's daughter's aunt's nephew's sister's son-in-law's friend's daughter!" Suzuki said, pausing each time to think of a possible relative. "What about the name, then, huh?! Gen from Genkai?" Kuwabara seemed suspicious. 'He's smarter than I thought.' Suzuki said to himself.

"Genkai named her... because she, uh, looked like her!" Chuu saved, thinking up some sort of lame excuse, but at least it seemed that they bought it. Kurama looked at Shishi and Touya, who were quiet the whole time. "... Are you alright?"

"Just peachy, thank you." Shishi said sarcastically, taking off Rinku's hat and rubbing his face with it. "Hey!" Touya shook off the melting ooze and stared blankly at the three. "Where is Hiei?" He looked downward, wondering if the fire demon was just too short to notice. "Apparently he didn't want to come with us to... relax, to say the least."

"I don't get why he has to be such a wet blanket. I mean, what, he thinks he's too good for us?!" Kuwabara shook his fist. His mouth was pulled down and teeth were grit. "Your face might stay that way if you do that... Not that it isn't already ugly enough!" Yusuke snickered, as he saw Kuwabara turn angry. "Alright... I suppose we shouldn't burden you with our problems..." Kurama trailed.

"We'll see you later." The long haired fox waved at them and Gen. As the three walked off, the demons looked at Touya and Shishi. "I need a bath." Shishi said crossly. A glob of vanilla ice cream splattered on the ground from his head.


While the adults of the household were cleaning up, Rinku was stuck looking after little Genkai. The boy let out a sigh, elbows on the table and head supported by his hands. Genkai sat there, smiling and blinking at Rinku. He was getting bored with each passing second, so he absentmindedly scratched his nose.

Genkai tried to follow what he did, but ended up shoving her finger in her nose instead of scratching it. Rinku looked at her weirdly. She pulled it out and stared at her own snot and boogers as if they were the most fascinating thing in the world. "Oooh..." She was about to put it in her mouth until Rinku grabbed her wrist.

"You're so gross! I hope I wasn't like that when I was a baby." Genkai seemed to understand less and less of the human language as she pointed at him with her grubby finger. "Eeaaggh!" He let go of her and rose up from his chair. "Wash your hands at least!" Genkai found this all too funny for some reason; she hopped down from her chair and started to advance toward Rinku with her snot covered index finger.

"Ah! Get away!" The yo-yo boy suddenly found himself running from a four year old around the house. "Nose poop! Nose poop!" Genkai started chanting as she chased Rinku around over and over again. "Nose poop? What the heck?!" Rinku thought aloud as he kept running. Unfortunately for him, he tripped over the sofa and was suddenly cornered by the miniature Spirit Wave master.

"CHUU! JIN! TOUYA! Heeeeeeeeellllppp!!!!" He yelled as loud as he was able, finding Genkai's grimy finger inching closer and closer... "What? What is it?!" Chuu fumbled down the stairs only to find Genkai simply pointing at Rinku. "Oh..." The Aussie breathed a sigh of relief. "SHE'S GOT BOOGERS!!!" Rinku yelled loud enough for the entire world to hear.

Shishi stopped combing his hair for the seven hundredth time and wrinkled his nose. "What is the brat talking about?" Touya, who was brushing his teeth in the nearby sink stood up with foam in his mouth. "He muff be lornink fum Jin agun." he said as bubbles rolled down from his mouth. "Ugh... Keep your suds away from my eyesight." Shishi said as he blocked his eyes from the view.

Touya spat out his toothpaste. "Then don't look." he mouthed back. "Use another bathroom!"

"This is the only bathroom!"

"Then go outside and find another one for all I care!"

Suzuki, who was in the shower, became annoyed at the argument. "Will you two shut up?!" Shishi took a bottle of hand soap and chucked it over the shower curtains, which had hit Suzuki in the head. "Ow! Son of a demon!"

Shishi rolled his eyes. "Ooohh, I'm so insulted. I AM a son of a demon you moron!"

"Hey, knock it off! We're all friends." Jin said cheerily as he squirted mounds of toothpaste into another sink. "Oh yes, we're all friends. Let's just be happy, perky losers from now on!" Shishi mocked. "That's not nice!" Jin protested as he scooped a handful of white toothpaste from the sink into his hand and readied it. "You wouldn't dare..." The samurai gaped incredulously at him.

Jin hurled the cannonball of toothpaste towards Shishi, but Shishi caught it using lightning reflexes. He threw it at Jin, who deflected it with his wind powers, which landed on... Touya. The two gasped and looked at the calm ice master. He removed the wad from his hair and stared at it. Without warning he flung it right onto Jin's chest.

The goblin stared in shock as he had been hit. Shishi doubled over laughing at him, holding his gut and trying to keep a straight face, but all in vain. He suddenly was silenced by a large clump of mint toothpaste that was chucked into his mouth. "That ought to shut him up." Suzuki said, who was now dressed in a yellow robe, drying himself.

Jin looked at him mischievously, then gave a knowing look toward Shishi and Touya. Suzuki paused. "No. NO. I just took a...!" The blond found himself bombarded with chunks of toothpaste, all thanks to Jin, Shishi, and Touya, who were standing near the paste-filled sink.

"... Shower..."


Well, I think that's just about my longest chapter so far. It's not great, but please review. And thank you all for being so patient for this story to be updated. I hope this chapter's enough for my apology! I'll try to update all my fanfics as soon as I can!
