Fortunately, my writer's block was short-lived. But still, this chapter may be a little shaky.
(Note: Do not be offended by Yusuke and Kuwabara's love for gambling. It's just for fun)
You people need to be happy. I spent a lot of time researching Greece looking for tourist attractions!

******************************************************************************
Me: Taxi!!!! Yoo-hoo!!! *waves hands wildly*
*Kurama and I are waiting on a street corner trying to get a taxi so we can visit the Parthenon which is on the Acropolis (I've done research). There are taxis everywhere but none that stop for us. And now it is starting to rain.*
Me: Well, our day couldn't get any better.
Kurama: *sighs* We're going to get soaked.
Me: *pulls umbrella out of nowhere and hands it to him*
Kurama: How did you do that?
Me: *gives exasperated look*
Kurama: Oh yeah, you're the writer. Sorry.
Me: I can't take this anymore!! *sees taxi approaching* I'll handle this. *hands Kurama my purse* If the car hits me and I die, tell Hiei that he needs an attitude adjustment, okay? I'm still mad at him.
Kurama: *nods, though looking really confused*
Me: *waltzes out into the street, right in front of the oncoming taxi* HALT!!! *Puts up hand*
*The taxi stops 2 inches away from me*
Me: *lets out very relieved sigh and nearly faints, but manages to regain composure*
Taxi Driver: You D*** kid!!! Can't you get out of the f****** way! I mean really, you're just standing there like a piece of s***!
Me: *Smiles* You have a colorful vocabulary. My friend and I need a ride.
Taxi Driver: Forget it!! I don't take kids who just waltz up to my car expecting a lift!!
Me: *holds up big wad of cash* Well, I'm "waltzing up" with 200 bucks.
Taxi Driver: *looks at money and then at me. Jumps out of the car* Here, let me open the door for you.
Me: That's much better.
*Kurama gets in also and the car starts*
Me: *Glances out the back window and sees five girls standing timidly on the corner of the street, watching our taxi. They get in their own taxi and point to our taxi.* Uh Kurama, why does it look like those girls are trying to follow us?
Kurama: *looks back. All the girls wave when they see him looking.* I have no idea.
Me: *shudders and looks back again. They all give me the evil eye.* I don't like them...
******************************************************************************
*Yusuke, Kuwabara, Botan, and Hiei are lounging around R42*
Yusuke: We should go do something.
Botan: Like what?
Kuwabara: Like go to the casinos!! *They have some very cool casinos in Athens*
Hiei: What's a casino?
*Yusuke and Kuwabara stare at him like he's insane*
Yusuke: Casinos are one of God's gifts to the free world.
Kuwabara: It's the place where all your dreams come true.
Botan: I think that's Disney World, Kuwabara.
Kuwabara: *shrugs* close enough.
Botan: *snorts* You can also become dirt-poor there. Count me out.
Yusuke: Your loss. What about you, Hiei? Are you in or out?
Hiei: I guess since there's nothing better to do in a place where they have evil trees, I'll go.
*They head outside...right into the pouring rain*
Hiei: Where's that stupid writer when you need her?
Me: *disembodied voice* You know Hiei, I can still hear everything you say.
*Umbrellas appear in everyone's hands expect for him*
Me: I guess this "stupid writer" forgot to give you an umbrella. Oh well. Have fun getting soaked.
Hiei: *starts to fake-cry* (THIS IS THE FARTHEST OOC I HAVE EVER DONE BUT IT'S ADORABLE!!)
Me: No, no, don't test me!!! You better stop it! AARGH!!! FINE!!!
*umbrella appears in Hiei's hands*
Hiei: *whispers* sucker.
*The boys go off to the casino while Botan stays*
Botan: Oh great, now what do I do?
*hears lyre music coming from down the hill*
Botan: Ooh, pretty music...*follows direction of music*
******************************************************************************
*Meanwhile, Kurama and I have arrived at the Parthenon. Along with those weird girls...*
Me: Kurama, haven't you noticed that those girls have followed us all the way here?
Kurama: *looks back at girls, who wave eagerly when they see him looking at them* They probably just came to see the Parthenon as did we. Let's go.
Me: Okay...*follows him to the building*
Kurama: Isn't it just so inspirational?
Me: *Still keeping an eye on those weird girls, who are closing in on us* uh, yeah...inspirational, gotcha.
Kurama: Don't you find it moving?
Me: Maybe we should be moving.
*It's too late. The girls have surrounded us.*
GG (girl group): Hiiiiiiii!!!!!!!
Kurama: Hello.
Me: *waves meekly*
GG: *glares angrily at me and surrounds Kurama*
LOGG(Leader Of Girl Group): Would you be so kind as to escort us around the Parthenon? *Puts her arm around his*
Kurama: Uh, sure.
Me: Hey, wait a minute...
GG: GRRRRRR.......
Me: *Starts to back away* Okay, no need to get nasty here...
GG: *Yanks Kurama away*
Me: But he's with me!! *pause, then sighs* Why does everything bad that could happen does? *Runs after them*
******************************************************************************
Yusuke: I am home!!!
*The three guys enter the casino*
Hiei: *seems dazzled by all the lights and spinning things* What...is...this...place?
Kuwabara: The place where dreams come true...we just went over this....
Yusuke: *went off to get coins and has now returned* Who wants to win big money?
Kuwabara: I DO!!! *grabs a handful of coins and runs off*
Yusuke: Here, Hiei. *Hands Hiei one coin* Knock yourself out. *Begins to walk away* *muttering* Like he could win anything...
Hiei: *Walks over to a slot machine and cautiously puts the coin in and pushed the lever down. Seems confused by what appears on the slot*
Hiei: What the heck do three black lines that say BAR on them mean?
******************************************************************************
Botan: *Went off in search of the music and finally comes upon a group of strange people wearing white cloths and playing lyres*
Botan: Who are you?
HG (Head Guy): Alas, young child, we are but images on a forsaken wasteland of hustle and bustle.
Botan: Which would mean you are?
HG: We are the Ancients, a group of people that believe all this city talk is appalling. We spend our days sitting in the field, playing our lyres. Would you like to join us?
Botan: Well, I really shouldn't. My friends will wonder...
HG: What is your name?
Botan: Botan.
HG: Not anymore. Your name is now...Athena. It suits you perfectly.
Botan: I really don't think...
HG: *starts to play lyre*
Botan: *seems entranced* A minute or two won't hurt...
******************************************************************************
Wow, that was sure interesting!! Kurama has Greek girls flocking all over him while I'm trying to keep up, Hiei is turning out to be quite good at the slots, and Botan is being entranced by a group called the Ancients? Weird, huh?
REVIEWS!! WANT THEM!! NEED THEM!!!
