Disclaimer: Guess I forgot this...uh...I don't own Artemis Fowl, but I own three of the books and a picture of Hiei is on my wall. That's about it.
P.S. For you dunderheads, that means I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. *pouts*
Bakemono
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*In the Mansion ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hello? Anybody home?" called Mulch. Walking in a single-file line, with Yusuke at the front, they moved forward. Suddenly, Yusuke bumped into an invisible wall, fell backwards, and they all toppled over like dominos except for Hiei and Kurama, who got out of the way in time.
"Ge' off!!" shouted a squished Mulch from the bottom.
Yusuke scratched the back of his head of his head. "Sorry about that," he said.
"What the heck is this thing?" said Kuwabara. He was tapping on what LOOKED like thin air, but sounded like he was tapping on glass. The sound reached not far before disappearing into the darkness.
"That, I believe, is Cyruslen Syrum- an invisible force-field." replied Kurama.
"Glad to see you've figured that out, boys." said a male voice, coming from no apparent direction.
"Show yourself." said Kurama calmly, eyes searching through the darkness.
"No, I don't feel like it. You were right about it being an invisible wall, but no more how hard you attack it, it will never break. The only way to move on is to solve my riddles. Then, you earn the privilege of fighting my monster. Sound good?" the voice replied, equally clam with a hint of amusement.
"And if we don't?" asked Yusuke.
"My monster kills you."
"..." They mulled it over for a second, and decided to NOT become monster chow.
"Come, Bakemono," called the voice, this time high pitched as if calling a dog!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Mulch, Joem and Kuwabara. Artemis wanted to remain as dignified as possible and did not scream. What they saw was a three headed dog (like Fluffy from Harry Potter).
"What species is that?" said Artemis
"It's a demon, you idiot!" yelled Yusuke.
"What's the riddle?" asked Kurama, deciding to move along.
"When I'm open, you see me and I see you. When I am closed, you can see me, but I can't see you. What am I? You each get one guess. Use it wisely." The voice said.
"Uh…a box?" guessed Yusuke.
"Someone behind one of those window mirror things?" said Joem. He obviously wasn't going to be of much help in solving the riddles.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Kuwabara, who was running away from the dog.
"An eye," stated Kurama and Artemis at the same time.
A recording of Botan began playing saying, "Bingo! You win the prize!"
"Next riddle; how many of each animal did Moses take on the Ark?"
"Two" said Yusuke as if it was the most simple of questions.
"Two of each unclean animal and seven of each clean one" said Artemis.
Kuwabara spoke next, surprised no one had gotten it, "None. Moses didn't have an Ark, Noah did."
Yusuke scratched his head again, "Oh yeah…oops…"
"DING!"
"Don't any of you read the bible?"
"Does it look like I even know what that is?" asked Joem.
Hiei simply stood there, not knowing who Noah, Moses, or an ark of animals had to do with anything. 'I'd better get to fight or this is a waste of time…' he thought.
"Guess not."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Kuwabara, who was being chased by the monster still. Everyone save Kuwabara returned their attention to the voice that'd began speaking again.
"Last riddle, and you get the privilege of fighting Bakemono." He called, pausing before continuing. "When I am full, only half of me is seen. When I am new, you cannot see me. What am I?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" yelled Kuwabara. You should be able to guess what he'd doing by now.
"A sprite?" guessed Kuwabara. It sounded more like "A Ssssppprrriiiittteee!?!?"
"A box!" exclaimed Yusuke proudly. Kurama sweat dropped. Yusuke won't be of much help on the riddles either, not that he expected as much…
"Where's the logic behind that?" asked Kurama.
Yusuke shrugged and said, "It has to be the right answer eventually."
"Simple," said Artemis. "It's the moon."
"Good work." called the voice. The spite in his voice was all too clear, and they could almost see him smiling as he continued. "Which of you will be fighting my pet first?"
"I'll go" said Hiei. "I'm getting bored with all this talk nonsense." It was obvious to anyone that Hiei hated riddles, especially when he couldn't figure them out.
"Very well then. Bakemono, ATTACK!"
The rest of the group backed away to give them room, save Kurama who knew that Hiei wouldn't need five seconds to finish the pathetic demon off. The dog came toward Hiei at break-neck speed. Luckily, Hiei could move much faster. He took out his Katana (sword) and sliced off one of the demons three heads. The demon screeched in pain, but then out of the bloody gash three smaller dogs came out. Every time he killed one of the dogs (or one of its heads) three more came out to play. With Hiei's speed and skill there were soon approximately three thousand dog demons facing Hiei, and even the short fire demon has his limits.
