Hiei was awoken by a slight nibble on his left finger. He looked down to see the little fox that was actually Youko. His big eyes stared up angrily.
Wake up! I'm hungry.
"Hn. Who said I was going get you something?"
Because I can't!"Why not?"
Hello? I have no thumbs! The kitsune pointed a paw at its other paw annoyingly.Hiei chuckled slightly. It was fun to see Youko in this helpless form, almost as fun as hitting Kuwabara on the head with Kurama's huge math book. He looked at the door and realized something. Eikichi was outside, waiting for the two. He looked at the fox again and smirked. "Do you know Youko, that Eikichi is bigger than you?"
Youko normally wouldn't be afraid of such petty house animals but he shared the fear of cats with Kurama. He disliked Eikichi the most. If he was in his other form, Eikichi would not be living at this moment but now it was a different story. To him now, Eikichi was a monster.
"Youko?" Hiei looked at the fox. He was shivering uncontrollably as if left out in the cold for days. Hiei picked the fox up and shook him hard.
Finally he got back to his senses. I don't feel hungry anymore. His big eyes stared fearfully at the door.
The fire demon sighed. "Like I said, it's just a harmless cat…"
How do you know? It could be a treacherous demon being inside it! I don't want to go! His pleading black eyes looked up.
"No, you're going all right."
Hiei carried the feisty fox outside and put him down, closing the bedroom door behind him.
Hiei! I hate you! Youko ran under the sofa. Before I die today, I'm going to write my will and you're not getting anything!
"Hello? You have no thumbs!" Hiei smirked. He then went into the kitchen to make the cat her breakfast.
He did it to avoid the lectures and punishments Kurama would give him if he did not. He especially didn't like the punishments. Hiei looked at the top right shelf and frowned annoyingly. It was too high for him. He searched for a stool he could stand on when all of a sudden.
CRAAAAASH!!!
It was from the living room and sounded like something fell. Hiei ran in and saw that an expensive vase had been toppled over. On the sofa sat the fox. He seemed shocked and was shivering slightly.
"Kitsune? What did you do?" Hiei looked at the bits of porcelain scattered around the floor.
It was, an accident…sort of… thing… The fox tapped a piece of the vase. Eikichi tried to kill me so I jumped up the sofa to escape. And I knocked down the vase.Hiei shook his head. "Youko. I think you're over exaggerating. Firstly, Eikichi can't kill you and secondly, where is Eikichi?"
A soft meow was heard from the kitchen. Eikichi was lapping at her water bowl and then when she finished she walked into the living room. She was so innocent and graceful. The cat meowed again and purred as she stared at the kitsune. He shivered.
"Look Youko, you might be imagining things out of fear of this cat. Relax…" He walked into the kitchen again searching for the stool and also a broom. "It's going to be a long day…"
When Hiei had given Eikichi her breakfast he swept the floor until not a single piece of evidence was seen. He then looked around. Youko was nowhere.
"Youko?" Hiei called but no avail. The fox did not appear. Hiei began searching the living room than the bedroom and toilet. When he went into the kitchen, something was wrong. The tumbler drier was on, only it wasn't clothes that were in it. It was the fox…
Hiei ran to the tumbler and watched the fox being tossed inside. He looked for a way to stop the machine. In a matter of seconds the tumbler was switched off and the stunned fox was out. Hiei stared hopelessly at the bundle of fluffed up fur.
"If that's your idea of fun than I don't want to know what your idea of exciting is…"
I didn't do it on purpose dingbat! Eikichi made me do it!"Oh she did, did she? What did she do, told you that was the litter box?" Hiei said annoyingly.
No! I was drinking some water from the water bowl when she pounced on me. I jumped and ran into the only available opening, this! The still wobbly fox placed his paw on the tumbler. When I jumped in, she closed the door and the machine started moving.
"When did this happen?"
Can't remember… I'm dizzy… Hiei, can you please stay still? You're moving so fast that I'm seeing double… The fox tried to get up but collapsed onto the floor again.
"Maybe you don't remember getting into the machine out of pure curiosity and the wind from the open window might have closed the door. Have you thought of that Youko?" But the fox did not reply. Hiei picked him up and walked into the bedroom. Little did he know that someone was watching, yellow eyes glistened underneath the sofa. The cat purred in self-content. It was her time to strike.
