So everyone knows, I fixed the link on my profile that goes to the Yahoo album. There's pics in it of Kairi's dagger as well as a pic of a chibi Yoko (the CUTEST one I think I've seen anywhere!) the way I think he looks in this fic. (A mini version of Yoko Kurama... on 2 legs. In case anyone else was confused.) He just has 4 legger tendencies...
I own nothing. Enjoy!
"YIPE!"
"What the-?" Kane's head snapped up at the sound of the high-pitched yell. When he looked down he saw what was making it.
Yoko was stuck...
He leaned down to get a closer look at what he was stuck on...
"Oooooh no..."
"Why in the blue Hell did you give him CHEWING GUM?" Kairi growled.
"I didn't! He was like this when I woke up!"
"Woke up? What were you doing asleep?"
"You're one to talk!"
The kit yelped again when he tried to move. His arm was stuck to the fur on his big, floppy ear and his tail was stuck to his ankle. The rest of the fur on that tail was stuck to the rug under the coffee table. And speaking of coffee...
Kuro noticed something wrong. "Did you drink the rest of what was in my cup?" Kuro asked Kairi, before round 2 could kick off.
"Why would I drink after you?"
"When I put that mug down it was half-full..."
Kairi looked at the mug she had sat down before she dozed off. The cappuccino was gone... "No..."
"'No' what?" Kane asked, glaring daggers into her.
"Oh, no..."
The little kit fidgeted for all he was worth...
"Kaaaaaaii?" Kane raised an eyebrow.
"Oh please no..."
Yoko wrestled the pink blob that held him even harder. Looking at him closer, he was shaking. The only thing keeping this kid, er, kit, from bouncing off the walls was the gum that held him down...
"He emptied TWO cups of coffee?"
"...not exactly..." Kairi said, wincing as she spoke.
"Mmmm?" Kane said, tapping his foot.
"Mine was cappuccino..."
"WHAT? TELL me it was decaf!"
"Not by a long-shot..."
"GRRR! YOU..."
The battle was on. Insults flew back and forth. The fox's eyes bounced from one "parent" to the other until finally "WAAAAAH! HEP ME! HEP ME!"
Both demons stopped shouting at each other and looked down at the wiggling boy stuck to the floor.
"Sorry, lil' fella," Kairi said as she bent down to pick him up. After several minutes of stretching and snapping gum threads, she finally got him up. He was still stuck to himself, though, and he looked utterly miserable.
"Well, whattawedo?" Kane asked.
"I think it's pretty obvious. He's gotta have a bath"
"NONONONONO! NOBATHNOBATHNOBATH!" Yoko kicked and squirmed but it was pointless. All the struggling just made the gum grind further down into his fur, and thus, made it hurt more...
"Alright," Kane said. "I'll start cleanin' this up while you dunk him."
"While I dunk him?"
"Yeah. You didn't think I was gonna do it, didja?"
"Uh-uh. No way. I've got no desire to boldly go where so many women have gone before."
"I'm not bathin' him! I don't wanna see what those women were goin' there for! You're doin' it!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"Not only 'no', but hell naw."
"Even if I wanted to, and you can rest assured that I don't, he won't let men take care of him, remember?"
"I'm still not doing it."
"You HAVE to!"
"...I really am too sick to work today... Koenma... sir..."
All heads turned to look at Botan.
"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Kairi asked.
"Oh yeah." Kane slipped his foot under the back of the rocker that was attached to the chair Botan fell asleep in and lifted...
THUMP
"AH! I TOLD YOU I WAS... huh?" Botan took in her surroundings, not noticing the innocent whistling coming from Kane. "What in the Spirit World is going on?"
"Guess you must've rocked forward in your sleep," Kairi answered.
The kit continued to squirm in her arms. "NONONONONO! NOBATH!" he yelled in protest, yelping every time he pulled his own hair.
"What happened?" Botan gasped when she saw Kurama.
"You're just in time! I really need your help!" Kairi said with enough false sincerity to get a mild snicker out of Kane.
"What?" Botan asked, still too sleepy to realize what she was getting drug into.
Kairi reached down with her free hand, grabbed Botan by the elbow and pulled her to her feet, careful to keep a tight grip on the flailing kitsune on her other side. She locked her elbow with Botan's and started walking with her toward the bathroom. "Well, Yoko needs a bath and I just don't have time to give it to him, what with the housework and the cooking and the cleaning and I have to get things tidied up from all the playing last night, and well, thanks! I knew you'd understand!" she said all in one long breath, finishing just as they got to the bathroom door. She thrust the squirming kit into the other girl's arms as she opened the door, guided Botan through the door, then shut it behind her. She was half-way back to the snickering Kane before Botan's voice rang out.
"WAIT! I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT!"
"Damn..." Kairi whispered to herself as she turned around to see Botan running toward her.
"I don't want to see Kurama's... you know! Let one of the boys bath him!"
"He won't let 'em."
"Well, why can't you do it?"
"He's your boyfriend!" Kairi said, once again ushering Botan back to the bathroom. Both girls were too busy to notice Yoko tugging at the ear his arm was stuck to. He had managed to move the arm quite a bit... as long as his head moved with it... He laid sideways in Botan's arms.
"He isn't my boyfriend!" Botan said, blushing wildly.
"You went on a date with him, didn't you?"
"Well, yes, but-"
"Close enough!" Kairi said, once again pushing her into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.
"Good one," Kane smirked.
"You do realize that we're both going to be dodging plants for the rest of our natural lives after Kurama hears about this, right?"
"You did it!"
"You dumped her out of the rocker!"
"It's all your fault! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!"
"Prick..."
From the other side of the door they were standing outside of they heard Botan's voice. "Oh, my!"
"Speaking of which..." Kane smirked.
"I think that's our cue to disappear for a little while."
"Yup."
REVIEW! (Yoko looks up with sad puppy face...)
