Whether she likes it or not, I'm giving a lot of credit to Hikari Nanase for her ideas and creative sparks. Read what she has wrote, it's some of the finest quality stuff on this damn site!

For a while, Hiei had stood on top of a tall building, wind ruffling his hair and cloak flowing majestically behind him. His eyes scanned the area for a place he could possibly eat at. Then it occured to him, he hadn't had a real meal in quite a while. After a moment, his eyes lit up.

MEAT.

It's what it said in neon letters, like some sort of sign...well, yes, it was a sign, written in flourescent red, to be exact.

"So bright," Hiei growled, sheilding his eyes. Normally this was detestable, but Hiei let his stomach decide as he bounded from building top- to-building top. One unthoughtful leap was all it took to send him crashing through a large glass window that was placed as a sky light on the roof. Falling to what he thought was his doom, he landed on something rather soft instead.

"I-I'm alive..." he said slowly as he opened his eyes. Scrambling onto his feet, he looked at what it was that saved him below.

It was a dead cow.

"Food!" Hiei gave a murderous grin as he pulled out his katana. Suddenly, the conveyer belt had stopped.

"Hey boss, this doesn't look like a dead cow!" A large man with a meat cleaver yelled, pointing at Hiei, who looked upwards with large eyes and shruken pupils. Another large man walked over to the first and inspected Hiei for a minute.

"Hm, this one must have escaped the K.O. line. I'll go get a mallet for you."

Hiei jumped up, now out of shock from the stupidity that was displayed (yes, their stupidity acted as a paralysis).

"Back off!" he growled, pointing his weapon in their direction. About twenty large men appeared, all with various sharp (and shiney! don't forget shiney!) tools.

"Hn..." Hiei snarled. At once he was attacked, but he merely leapt upwards and kicked two guys in the head.

"RUNAWAY COW ALERT! SEAL ALL THE EXITS! BAT DOWN THE HATCHES! SEND SOS! ARRRROOOOOGAAA! ARRRRRROOOOOOOGGGGAAAAA!"

The man with a mallet chased after him, and the two sent anything in their path flying in all directions. Hiei desperatly searched for an exit or something to hide in. Seeing some barrels ahead, he jumped into one and poked his head out. Suddenly, the mallet was about to come crashing down on him, so he ducked back down and reappeared in another one.

"Huh?" mallet man said, scratching his head and looked over. Shrugging, he went and brought his mallet down upon the other one, but Hiei kept popping up in different barrels. (OK, what game does that remind you of?)

After the mallet man grew tired, Hiei jumped out and ran towards what looked like a garage door. It was almost all the way closed when he did a front roll and escaped from the crushing jaws of...the closing garage- looking...thing...yeah.

All the guys gathered outside and began jumping up and down, cursing with meat cleavers waved in the air. Hiei looked back a moment. "They look like very angry pygmies..." he thought and laughed.

Still running, he soon found himself standing in a long line after a short period of time. Now he was hungry and impatient. The sound of an angry "MOOOO" caught his attention. He looked behind him and there were 5 of the meat-men on cows, charging his way.

"Dammit!" he shouted, making many parents and their children turned around. The children started crying, and Hiei was immeadiatly being beaten be purses or canes.

"DAMMIT!" he shouted again and started to run. The ticket guy at the begining of the line yelled, "Hey! That guy didn't pay for his ticket!" but he was cut off and run over by a mob of angry parents and 5 angry cows.

Hiei needed an escape, and fast. A large display caught his attention.

The mob looked around carefully for him. "It's like he disappeared," one commented. They passed by the penguin display, and were mesmerized by the cuteness of the penguins doing their thing. The cutest of them all seemed taller than the others.

"Grandpa, why is that one bigger than the other penguins?" one little girl asked.

"Oh dear, that must be the mommy!" the elder replied.

After a good amount of time "Oooo-ing" and "Ahhhh-ing", the mob moved elsewhere. Hiei stopped waddling around with the group of Rockhoppers and took the fish failing around out of his mouth.

"Mommy? I'll show them momm-" as he pulled out his katana and was about to go storming off, he was cut off by a small male rubbing against his leg, cooing.

"What the...get OFF!" Hiei practically screamed, waving his katana. The penguin started humping his leg.

Hiei's face went blank.

"What's that smell?" he asked after a few minutes, then looked down. He looked back up with a look of total disgust. Getting completely frustrated, he stomped off, but slipped and slid down a small ice cliff, crashing into the freezing water below. The penguin, not exactly in the mood to mate anymore, swam off.

Hiei picked himself up with the most dignity he could muster and walked out of the water, melting any of the small iceburgs in a 5 mile radius.

Wringing the now soakes clothes out, Hiei jumped over the wall seperating the people from the animals. Everyone stared and gawked at Hiei, but he didn't even acknowledge them. He shook his leg, making a few fish fall from his pants, then continued walking with his head down and eyes narrowed.

***

There was no doubt about it, he was lost. The mob hadn't been seen for a while, but it didn't matter. He was lost among crowds of screaming children with dripping subsances from every pore and animals that were either sleeping or in diabetic comas.

It was rather depressing.

Wandering around got him nowhere. It just got him deeper in this maze. While his head was down, Hiei bumped straight into a ridiciously pathetic looking creature that -in it's own right- seemed to be spawned from hell itself. And it was handing out free balloons.

"Well *hyuck*! Hey there little fella! Are you lookin' fer your mom?" it asked. Hiei's eyes seeped hatred and fear at the same time.

'What class of demon is this?' his thoughts rattled. Then he responded, "No, I am NOT looking for my...mother. Do you compare me to one of these small ningens? I suggest you stay out of my way if you want your gravity defying devices to stay in their whole."

The clown blinked once and found Hiei gone.

"That kid's got some attitude," it muttered.

***

Hiei took a bite of cotton candy he had swiped from a toddler and began to think of an escape route.

"Hn, I could use my Jagan, but with so many ningens around...that, and I'm still hungry." Tossing the stick aside, it had took him no time to inhale the sugary substance. A sign that said "FOOD" had a long line in front of it, and it wouldn't be worth waiting for. Besides, he had no coins on him.

Deciding to retrace his steps, Hiei turned around. Except he found himself face-to-face with a pair of large eyes. And with the eyes were a pair of horns. And a big, wet nose.

It was an exceptionally large cow.

Hiei looked above it. There was a sign that simply stated "YAK".

"The sign says 'yak', but my stomach says 'food'," Hiei said, stomach growling on cue. No one was paying attention to the poor animal, alas, who pays attention to the yak in the zoo? No matter, it would be substancial for eating purposes.

Next to the yak was a large sign. "Do not EAT the animals."

"Well, rules were meant to be broken..."

Taking this into account, he leapt atop the fence and stared the beast in the eye, who stared back with an impassive expression. Hiei raised his katana above his head and swooped downwards, fangs showing and pupils enlarged with an adreniline rush.

"You have lived an honorable life, now you must die!"

The clown looked up, feeling rather dejected. He had made a total of 7 kids cry, not including those who kicked his shins, bit his ankles, and fractured bones.

Who decided that today would be a good day to have field trip with the Anger Managment patients? As if preschoolers were bad enough. Memories flashed back of child harnassing a peacock and successfully riding it, then chasing after him. It was horrifying and humiliating all in one neat package.

And then there was that strange kid.

Who was proceeding to go into the yak cage...

Standing up, the clown rushed over, displaying amazing speed, and grabbed a small foot in mid-air. Hiei's red irises enlarged and he began thrashing about, screaming like a toddler being pulled away from a pet store. The clown just handed him over to the nearest security guard, who in turn motioned the Unruley Crowd over.

"AHHHHH!" Hiei shouted as they began to enclose him, soon growing dark....
