Chapter
9: The Whole KitnKaboodle
disclaimer: nope still don't own…
A/N: well I would have
had it up last week but the weather interfered in my plans
Thump.
Thump. Thump. "Will you knock it off!" I yelled as I woke
up. Someone kept hitting the tree with rocks and it was really
bugging me. Thud "OW!" I screamed as a rock hit me in the
head. I stood up, forgetting for that a split second that I had no
balance to speak of. I slipped and fell out of the tree, landing on
Yusuke.
"Get off me you psycho freak!" he yelled from
his place on the ground. Something was different today. I sat there,
ignoring all complaints, and thought.
Ten minutes later I yelled,
"I know what it is. You ran out of hair gel!" I
smiled
"Yeah, what of it. Now get the fuck off me!" He
growled.
"No can do. You were throwing rocks at me, and one
of them hit me in the head. Besides, I know why you ran out of hair
gel." He was quiet, waiting for me to explain. "I flushed
it."
"You what!?!" he screamed as he threw me off
of him "that was two hundred dollars worth!" he picked me
up by the collar and slammed me into a tree.
"Hey now…don't
kill her Yusuke," a voice came from above us. I glanced up and
saw another demon. This one I didn't recognize. She jumped down and
pulled Yusuke off of me. "Name's Evangaline (A/N: pronounced
eve-ang-a-lean). Koenma sent me here to protect you." She had
fiery red hair, startling blue eyes, and two cat ears poking out of
her head. Yusuke glared at her but said nothing.
"I don't
need protecting. I'm perfectly capable of surviving without Diaper
Breaths involvement. I live with Yusuke don't I?" I looked at
her with a skeptical look.
She laughed. I quirked an eyebrow, but
said nothing. "Even so, I would like to stay here. Koenma said
that this place was a source of great amusement."
I froze.
"How would Diaper Breath know…? Oh hell!!! He's like Santa
Clause! He's a stalker! NO!" I fell to the ground, rocking back
and forth muttering to myself about Santa Clause and his plot to
steal my precious remote.
Don't tell me you still believe in Santa
Clause." She said, trying not to laugh.
"Nope! I believe
in the tooth fairy!" I said childishly. Lizzy had walked outside
and rolled her eyes. "What?" I asked with an all too
innocent look plastered to my face. She laughed at me and went
inside. I sighed and walked inside, motioning for Evangaline to
follow. We were about to head to my room, I had been determined to
avoid Hiei and Kurama at all costs to avoid bloodshed, when I noticed
a bunch of tiles. 'I wonder…' I thought with a grin.
Slowly I
jumped from tile to tile "What are you doing?" asked Lizzy
as she noticed my odd behavior.
"Come here…let's have a
race!" I said with a grin. She looked at me blankly, as if to
say "have you lost your mind?" I pointed at the tiles. "First
one to make it to my room wins. If you touch the cracks, you have to
go back to the beginning. Evangaline, you too!" I jumped
excitedly. Everyone else crowded around the three of us.
Kuwabara
gave the count down and the three of us rushed to my room.
Unfortunately, the three of us got excited and crashed, at the last
instant, into each other.
"Ow!! Let's do it again! Who's up
for round 2?" I said as I jumped up. The world began to spin and
I stumbled into Kurama's chest and groaned. "Make the world
quit moving!" I heard Yusuke snicker and growled. "Hey
moron has that bite mark healed yet?" I asked with an edge to my
voice. He grew quiet but I could've sworn he was still laughing…so
what did I do? Naturally I pulled away from Kurama and jumped on top
of Yusuke. My teeth sunk into his arm.
"What the hell is
wrong with you?!" he screamed as he slammed me into the wall. I
jumped up; terrified, I really didn't wish to die; then attacked
him again, deciding to screw it, he needed to learn a lesson and I
was going to teach it to him.
"What's wrong with me?
Well…I'm living with you for starters" I said as I pined him
to the ground. I glared at him as I felt a pair of arms pull me away.
"But... he started it!!!" I screamed.
'Okosan' Hiei
warned.
'What?' I asked innocently
Hiei scowled at you. I
sighed and muttered about how it was Yusuke's fault. I walked into my
room, followed by Lizzy and Evangaline.
Evangaline spotted the
remote sitting on my bed. She went over and grabbed it. I growled and
tried to take the remote. Evangaline hissed and throw a shoe at me.
I
snarled and rushed forward to bit her. My teeth closed around air as
she jumped back. I was getting ready to pin her down when I heard a
knock on the door.
I literally jumped over to the door and opened
it. Hiei and Kurama were glaring at each other. I sighed, ready to
slam the door in their faces when they looked at me. I began to feel
uneasy. Whatever they were planning couldn't be good.
"Toria,
we have figured out how to settle our dispute. We are going to play
that racing game you made up.' Kurama said evenly.
I inwardly
groaned. That was hardly fair for Kurama! However I nodded and
allowed it. This had to have been thought up by Yusuke I decided.
Kurama would never make such a foolish bet, would he?
I sent a
terrifying death glare at Yusuke as I leaned up against the wall to
watch. Since I never verbally agreed to this, I could back out if
things ended badly.
Lizzy gave the countdown, three seconds
later; Hiei was by my side with a victory smirk planted on his face.
I sweat dropped and decided to pull out of the "agreement".
I shook your head
"I'm not a prize to be won, so I'm not
agreeing to this! You will just have to find another way to figure it
out!" I sighed as you heard Hiei growl.
What caught my
attention however was what Yusuke said next. "You've got to be
kidding me Toria!" he yelled
This made me mad. "Excuse
me?" I growled. I scanned his body, looking for a decent target
to throw a shoe at him when I noticed something. "What is
THAT!!!" I asked angrily. Clutched in his right hand was MY
remote! "Where did you get that?" my eyes narrowed as I
took another step. It was deathly silent.
Yusuke backed up to the
wall, wide-eyed as I glared at him. "I-I found it…" he
stuttered.
"Where?" I growled. Kurama put his hand on my
shoulder, but I shrugged it off. A snarl escaped me as I waited for
an answer. "Answer me Yusuke, where?" I bared my
fangs.
"I-In your r-room…" he stuttered again. He
looked terrified as he searched for an escape route.
I smiled, but
it wasn't the smile everyone was used to. This was devoid of
kindness; it was angry, furious even; slowly I held out my hand. My
gold eyes flashed in anger.
Yusuke gave me the remote, and then
shrank away. "What are you going to do to me?" he asked.
I
grinned "You'll find out." I had a plan. I turned to Lizzy
and Evangaline "I'm going to need your help…"
Yusuke
looked at Kurama and Hiei for help. Kurama shrugged, unsure if it was
wise to interfere.
'Calm down Okosan'
'But...but Hiei! You
said I could beat the snot out of Yusuke if he touched my remote!
Besides he went into my room!' I practically whined.
Hiei sighed,
knowing that I wouldn't rest until I had my revenge.
'What would
it take to get you to not kill him?' He asked
I thought for a
moment. 'Sugar…lots and lots of sugar, or a universal remote!!!!!'
I answered.
Hiei shook his head. I was hopeless. I shrugged and
motioned for Lizzy and Evangaline to follow me into my room.
They
nodded, wondering what on earth I had planned
I sat down and
grinned. "Okay, this is what we're going to do…"
Chappie

A/N: YES! It's done! This chapter took almost 3 months to
write! It's time to celebrate! This chapter is dedicated to Miyuki
Wolfire for her idea for the race between Hiei and Kurama and Andrea
for helping me come up with the race three months ago!
