Part 3: The Candy Store and the Horrors of Sugar High

Kurama was currently waiting for Botan on top of the hospital. When he had been asked where he would like to meet up with the "grim reaper," he had simply replied, "the place where it began."

Kurama of course was referring to the time in which he had used the Forlorn Hope on that fateful night. His human mother had been dying, and he had asked the mirror to save her in exchange for his own life. However, Yusuke had convinced the mirror to spare him, and since then Kurama, much grateful to the spirit detective, had been a close ally. That was the real night that his life had become entangled with that of Urameshi, as well as Kuwabara and the others.

Kurama had made a decision not to enter the hospital through the normal entrance, just in case somebody might recognize him. Thus, he had taken off from some nearby rooftops instead. He hoped that Botan would be able to figure out his hint soon, but his worries were soon laid to rest when he caught sight of a familiar blue-haired young woman riding in on an oar.

"Kurama, don't you think that you could have made that hint of yours a little easier?," she asked, trying to catch her breath.

"I'm sorry about that, Botan," he replied, "but in this case I didn't want to take chances. Whoever mailed that package to Yusuke knew the location of his home, and thus probably has some slight knowledge about the rest of us."

"Well, you're right. I can understand why you do things like this with your, eh, 'double life.' Anyway, is what Koenma said true? Are both Yusuke and Kuwabara really three years old now?"

"Like I've said before, it's true. I left Hiei to watch over them, though I doubt he's happy right now, especially since their minds have also reverted to that of toddlers."

"I agree," Botan said with a slight chuckle, "I can probably imagine the look on Hiei's face right now. Anyway, Koenma told me the current location of Suzuka, and believe it or not, it's actually located on the outskirts of Sarayashiki. Do you want to head there right now?"

"Yes. I'll follow you."

"Okay, I guess we shouldn't take any more time," Botan replied. She then called back her oar and flew it to Suzuka's current residence, with Kurama following.

---Meanwhile---

"Yay, Kuwabara! We're going to the candy store!," Yusuke said, jumping up and down.

"I'm hungwy wight now! Mister Hiei, how much wonger?," Kuwabara asked, growing even more impatient than he would if he was still 14(if that were possible.)

"Don't worry," Hiei replied, "I see one over there!" -And with luck, this extra long walk will tire you out. After all, that's why I made sure to pick out a candy store that was far away!- Indeed, in a few seconds the three had arrived at their destination. Hiei walked inside, leaving the two kids alone for a few seconds. -Well, I don't think that I should take long. I'll just grab some stuff at random.-

It wasn't long before Hiei was carrying about 20 bags worth of stuff. He dropped it all in front of the register. "Um, that'll be about..... 36,000 yen," the guy working there said.

"WHAT!?"

"I said all that stuff will cost 36,000 yen," the guy replied.

-Damn, I forgot that these humans use that source of bargaining currency called money.- Listen, I'm a little..... broke. Can you just give all of this stuff to me for free? It would be a lot better if you did for both of us," Hiei said.

"Sorry, man, but if you don't have enough, then you get nothing. Come back when you can pay up, alright?" In a few seconds, the check out person soon learned why it was a bad idea to piss off Hiei, as the demon's sword was now currently facing his throat.

"Listen, I have said some little punks cover me in tomato guts and spray water square in my face! If you don't want to meet the end of this blade, I suggest you do as I say!"

The guy began to sweat profusely, silently wishing that he didn't always have to deal with the crazies. -Man, first that guy with that weird silver-tipped wig and the phony dog ears, and now this nutcase!- "O-Okay! N-No pr-problem!"

"Much better." Then put all of the candy into two bags and then gave them to Hiei. "Very good. Now, to take care of business..." Hiei then turned around, using the powers of the Jagan to knock the guy out. "Don't worry. When you wake up, you'll never remember I was here." He then went outside to rejoin the two kids. "Okay, brats, here's what you wanted. Now eat up one of them, so you won't whine anymore."

"Yay!," both kids cheered, digging into a bag full of chocolate bars. Of course, little did Hiei realize the mistake he was making...

---A few minutes later...---

"Yum! I wove whese thocolate bars!," Kuwabara said, his face now covered in remains of a few Heresy's.

"Me too! They're great! Nothing but sugar!," Yusuke added in.

Hiei did his best to ignore them. All he wanted to do was get back to the Urameshi residence to resume waiting for Kurama. All in all, if that was the worst he had to do, maybe today could still go by okay for him. Then he felt a tugging sensation on the candy bags he was carrying. He turned around. "What do you brats want?!"

"WE WANT MORE CANDY!," Yusuke screamed, grabbing a bunch of gummy worms from one of the bags and depositing them in his mouth.

"Hey, Uwameshi! Give me some!," Kuwabara said, grabbing his own handful of gummy worms.

"That's enough! No more!," Hiei said, but was it his imagination, or did they seem a bit more.... energetic than before? Either way, the kids now grabbed some tootsie roll pops and started to eat them. Before Hiei could stop them, he then noticed something. -Their spirit energy.... is it coming back? But how?-

"Hey, Kuwabara, want to play superhero?!," Yusuke said, turning towards his friend.

"Yeah, I can be Duke Skykuwabawa, and you can be..."

"I'm going to be Laser Yusuke! Now let's find the base to our secret enemies!" Yusuke then turned to a fire hydrant nearby. "On, no! They're shooting their laser turrets at us! Well then, laser attack!!!"

Hiei all-too soon realized what position Yusuke's hands were going into. He knew this meant one thing: bad news. He tried to stop him, but it was too late. Yusuke somehow fired a super-charged rei gun straight into the hydrant, blowing it to pieces.

"Whoa! That was cool! I wanna do that again!" And with that, Yusuke fired another rei gun into the side of a building.

"Great. Just great," Hiei muttered, seeing the bystanders see the surrounding explosion and as a result flee in terror. "Yusuke still has his rei gun. Now where's that brat Kuwabara?" Hiei turned, seeing no three-year-old covered in chocolate. He did, however, see a charred line against the side of the street. "I guess that answers my question. He still has his spirit sword as well. Well, I guess I better deal with Yusuke first."

Yusuke was still firing rei guns across the place. He was getting into enjoying it, but was then grabbed by Hiei. "Hey, let me go, let me go!," he screamed, trying to get out of Hiei's grip. "I wanna shoot that cool thing out of my hands more!"

"NO WAY!!!!," Hiei screamed. "You and that moron friend of yours have caused enough trouble today, and after I get him as well, you're both getting spankings!"

"S-Spankings? WAAAAAHHHHHH, YOU'RE MEAN!!!!!," bawled Yusuke in the best annoying voice he could muster. Hiei just did his best to ignore him.

---Meanwhile---

"Botan, you're sure THIS is where Suzuka's currently residing?," Kurama asked, overlooking the pawn shop.

"Yes, I'm quite sure. Our intelligence at Reiki never lies," she replied. "Suzuka has been here ever since your fight with Toguro at the Ankoku Budokai. He should be working here right now, as a matter of fact. Do you want me to accompany you inside?"

"No, thank you, that is quite alright. I'll go in alone." Kurama stepped inside the shop, noting all the trinkets inside. He made his way to the checkout, and all-too soon recognized the person there. It was indeed Suzuka, sans his clown makeup, as Kurama had remembered him when he received that 'youth formula' that had allowed him to revert to his yoko form during his fight with Karasu. He decided to speak up. "Well, Suzuka, I see you're doing well."

The man looked up at Kurama, gaining a suprised look on his face. However, he then returned to normal. "Suzuka? I'm sorry my friend, it's Watanabe Mamoru. Perhaps I can tell you where this 'Suzuka is, hm?" After making sure that nobody else was in the store, "Mamoru" turned to Kurama. "Well, it's been a while, kitsune-boy. So, what's interested you into coming over here? I can't imagine it's trying to catch up for old times sake."

"Sadly, you're quite correct. You see, I'm currently investigating a little problem. Remember that little device you rigged up that transformed me into my old form of Youko Kurama?"

"Ah, yes, the Idunn Box? What about it?"

"Well, something has apparently transformed two of my friends, Urameshi Yusuke and Kuwabara Kazuma, into little kids. Do you know anything like that?"

"Yusuke and Kuwabara? Wait, Yusuke was your team leader, right? He didn't show up during our match in the semifinals, and he even called Shishiwakamaru a.... boy band member," he said, chuckling a little. "Now Kuwabara, he was that moron who fell right into my teleportation trap, correct?"

"Yes. Anyway, both have been reduced to the minds and bodies of children. The only thing I know that has that ability is your little weapon. So what I want to know is, did you tell anyone the secret of its power? Let him... or her, know its magic, so it could be copied, probably by somebody who has some sort of grudge against Yusuke?"

Suzuka sighed. "I wish I could help you, but I honestly don't know anything. I haven't, and I swear this, told any other soul of it's powers, with the slight exception of "Uraurashima", and you remember what happened to him. However, if I do find out anything, I'll tell you. After all, you helped me out with my... Toguro problem. It's the least I can do."

Kurama bid his farewell and sighed, returning to where Botan was. "Well?," she asked, hopefully. "Did you learn anything?"

"Botan, I'm afraid we are completely in the dark about this one," Kurama answered grimly. "Whoever did this, he or she now has us exactly where they want us."

---Back in Reikai---

"Oh, Koenma, how can you be doing this?," George complained. "You still have to go over your memos, and you also have...."

"I know, I know," Koenma said, now transformed into his teenager form. "But if Kurama really is telling the truth, this is just something I have to see for myself!," he said, trying not to laugh up a storm once more. He then grabbed a camera and looked through it. "Perfect! This'll make sure that I have proof to show them once Kurama and Hiei are able to restore them to normal! They'll never believe it!"

"But Koenma, how can you be so sure that Kurama and Hiei can help them?," George asked.

"Well, those two are always able to resolve stuff like this. Of course they'll be able to cure Yusuke and Kuwabara!" A sudden, and very dreadful, realization hit the ruler of Reikai. What if Kurama and Hiei weren't able to cure the two? If any youkai were to find out, it would be certain trouble for Nigenkai, and his own Spirit Detective would only be able to eat cereal and watch Saturday morning cartoons! "Um, well, I hope."

---Back in Nigenkai---

It had not taken Hiei long to catch up to Kuwabara. He had simply jammed his spirit sword into everything possible, and the path of destruction was enough to allow him to catch up. After delivering a few good spankings to each, he began to drag them both back to Yusuke's house. "And no more misbehaving, got it?! After all, by the time we get back, Speed Racer should be on, and I don't intend to miss it!"

"But Unca Hiei, didn't the TV get destwoyed?," Kuwabara asked.

"............Damn," Hiei muttered under his breath. "And it was going to be the final chapter of 'The Most Dangerous Race', too."

"Hey, how about we go see a movie instead?," Yusuke asked, looking hopeful.

"A movie?! Haven't you two tortured me enough?! I don't want to see a movie!," Hiei screamed to the both of them.

This caused the two to fall to the ground, throwing a tantrum. "WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE!!!!!!!!!"

Hiei groaned. "Fine. We'll go see a movie."

The two kids then got back up. "Really?!"

Hiei smirked. "No. I was just screwing with your heads."

"WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVIE, WE WANNA SEE A MOVI--"

"ALRIGHT! YOU WIN! WE'LL SEE A FREAKING MOVIE, OKAY?! JUST QUIT THAT ANNOYING WHINING!!!!!," Hiei yelled, causing a few bystanders passing by to wonder what his problem was.

The two kids began jumping up and down in excitement, cheering all the time. Hiei felt like crying. Hopefully, after the movie, they would just shut the hell up for the rest of the day. He just hoped it couldn't get any worse. Of course, little did he realize just WHAT movie they'd make him watch....

TO BE CONTINUED...

Next time on Hiei the Baby-sitter! Hiei is forced to see a horrible, crappy flick with the two kids! It's none other than "Peter Pan 2: Return to Neverland"! This film is bad enough for our favorite youkai, but as it turns out, Keiko has taken Yukina to the same movie theater they're at to show her a new romance flick! Will Hiei keep his sanity AND secret?! Find out in part four, "The Deadly Demons of Disney!"

Also, about Hiei's little Speed Racer line, that joke originally came from Ani-Con 2003. I decided to make him being a Speed Racer fan consistent in most of my non-serious fics. ^_^

HIEI: Oh, I swear, once I get to be in a revenge fic with you in it, you are MINE, you hear me?! MINE!!!!! And that goes for all the fanfic writers out there who love torturing me as well!

Also, it's time for my usual boring announcements. The score on the Kikyo bashing fic(3-2) is still the same. If you want a say on this, please vote in soon! I'm making my final decision on June 1! And as for the Dead Live, please continue to sign up! Yusuke, Goku, and all of their buddies are counting on you!
