"Seattle Life"
A story that crosses reality into the anime world…
Disclaimer: Anything that decided to show up in this fic I don't own. No flower shops, none of the places that are mentioned… actually, all of them are real. Pike Place Market, the International District, and such are real, and sadly, I don't own them. Damn. Wish I did though. Actually, hold on, yes I do own something! I own the story line and all the quirky things that decide to happen. I don't know what will. Oh well, I give up. Let's get this story started.
A/N: Before I do that, I want to tell you about how this story was thought of. I graduate in May, and I'm going to live near Seattle to go to college. So, on Saturday July 20, I went and explored. Then I thought of this! Seattle life for the cast of one of my most favorite shows!

Tenki: Hello! Konnichiwa! I have come to deliver my very first fic! Well, for Yu Yu Hakusho…
Kurama: That's nice that you want to write about us, Tenki.
Yusuke: Riiiight. What are you gonna have us do?
Kuwabara: IT'S A PRETTY LADY!
Kurama: Yes, she's an angel! ^_^
Tenki: KURAMA, YOU GET TO BE THE STAR!! (glomps Kurama and the others run except for Hiei)
Hiei: (snicker) Oh, Kurama, I see. You finally found a girlfriend…
Tenki: REALLY?! ROLL THE FICCY!
**
(Scene: Kurama's apartment. He is reading romance manga.)
Kurama: hmm…
(Hiei walks in. A/N it's Frazier's apartment if you're curious)
Hiei: Damn… Kurama, why did you decide to move to this city anyway?
Kurama: (still reading) hmm… Maison Ikkoku is actually pretty good, Hiei.
Hiei: Damn! Not even YOU listen to me!
Kurama: (yes, still reading) Yes, I do. I wanted to move here because I needed a change in scenery. Tokyo was getting a little dull, that's all. You can go home if you want.
Hiei: Well, I don't know about that, Kurama. You did sell my house.
Kurama: Oh. (Puts manga on the table and shrugs) I'm going to start a business down in Pike Place Market, Hiei. I have future here.
Hiei: Ah… I guess that we can stay.
Kurama: I was going to stay anyway. I believe that Yusuke and Kuwabara are actually going to move in too. They have to get out, and since they just graduated…
Hiei: From WHAT? From Pre-mature school for those without anything in their heads? Kurama, I know that you like it here and that you even get along with them, but to bring them here to Seattle? Where they won't let me use them for target practice!! (Turns hysterical until Kurama throws him a manga)
Kurama: Picked that up for you. (Starts to read again)
Hiei: It's Dragon Quest? Where'd you get it?
Kurama: (continues reading) Kinokunya Bookstore down in the International District. I like manga and thought you might want to get hooked, but I know you don't want Maison Ikkoku.
Hiei: (opens the manga and reads while talking) I know that you like it here, and all, Kurama, but I didn't know that you were good at finding the perfect gift for someone who has nearly nothing that they really want or need.
Kurama: (puts manga back down and enters the kitchen) Well, Hiei, you won't be going on so many cases. Yusuke just covered the land in all light and no more evil exists. So you have to get a decent hobby.
Hiei: (reads with full attention into his manga when the door suddenly opens)
(CRRREEEAAAKKK sound is heard and in comes Yusuke and Kuwabara)
Yusuke: (freaks out) OH MY GAWD! HIEI'S READING!
Kuwabara: Man, I knew he spent way too much time with Kurama, but this is new.
Hiei: Shut up before I have to hurt you.
Kurama: (sticks his head out of the kitchen smiling) Hello. Welcome to my home. You guys have rooms; you just have to find which one you want. Not the one that's mine though.
Kuwabara: (goes scanning for rooms, but comes back with puzzled and really annoyed look on his face, as ugly as it is) Kurama, all the other rooms are filled with plants.
Hiei: then you can't live here. Go get your own home.
Kurama: Hiei, I could say the same to you. In fact, I will! Get jobs or something! (Comes out wearing an apron with Japanese hiragana on it spelling out his human name "Suiichi Minamino") So leave! I have things to do now.
Yusuke: Are you expecting someone to show up? Someone special to you?
Kurama: NO! Just go! I'll see you tomorrow! (Manages to shove them out because Kuwabara can't compare and Hiei didn't really care. He just wanted the manga)
(Outside the apartment door)
Yusuke: Great. We have to find jobs. IN SEATTLE!
Hiei: You're human, you have legs! You can go and get one. Me, on the other hand, I can't. I'm a demon. They'll ask all sorts of questions. (While reading the manga, he walks straight to the elevator, presses a button, and goes down without looking up)
Yusuke: Yeah, well, he should get a job at Kinokunya since he loves manga so damn much.
Kuwabara: I don't know what I will do now… I don't even know this town. Hey, Urameshi, why don't we call home and beg them to take us back?
Yusuke: My mom's probably having some damn party because of me leaving!
(Back in the Urameshi house in Tokyo)
Atsuko: (drinking) YUSUKE IS A BIG BOY NOW!!
Keiko: (drunk) KUWABARA IS HOT!
Atsuko: Keiko, dear, lay off. You're saying strange things you don't mean.
Genkai: (spirit form) yeah, yeah, Atsuko. I could say the same to you.
Atsuko: Genkai, honey… I love you too…
Genkai: Now I KNOW why he was such a dimwit.
(With Yusuke)
Kuwabara: Yeah, but what about us bunking together?
Yusuke: Well, I don't know about you or the rest of this town, but I'm straight you knuckle head!
Kuwabara: I love Yukina! I don't like men. Not that way, Urameshi.
Yusuke: That's nice to know. (Sigh) I think I'll go and find a job now. (Leaves down the elevator, but it hasn't come back from when Hiei left, and so he ends up falling down the chimney like thing and ends up on top of the elevator that hasn't moved) OWCH!
Kuwabara: (looks down the thing to see Yusuke in pain from the fall) Hmm, Urameshi, I'm going to take the stairs all right?
Yusuke: All right… sure… I guess…
(Kuwabara takes the stairs. Hiei is standing in the way of the door while reading his manga, so into it that he doesn't see all the people that want to use the elevator. Even his Drag Gun's Eye is into it! Yusuke is still on the top of the elevator)
Hiei: Go! Yeah! That's awesome! (Swings his sword around pretending he's the main character, but slices up all the people around him without paying attention)
Yusuke: (manages to open the door and fall into the elevator and see what Hiei has done) HIEI! …They're going to arrest you for that.
Hiei: No they won't.
(Police walk up to him)
Police Man 1: Hey, you! Drop the book and walk away!
Police Man 2: YEAH!
Hiei: IT'S NOT A BOOK!!! (Charges up black energy and the whole building is filled with evil dark "stuff") I'll give a strand of hair to it; I believe that will suffice for you, inferior rodents… DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!
Yusuke: …you gave the dragon a strand of hair?
Hiei: That would be enough payment for me to destroy those fools. (Gets back to reading after walking out of the building)
Yusuke: being a demon in Seattle must be tough…. Being a human here looks to be tough too… (Sigh. Gets up and walks out of the building)
(Back with Kurama)
Kurama: Ah, let's see… (Arranges a bouquet of flowers to look just like the space needle) That's got to be the best job that I've done in a while.
(Phone rings)
Kurama: Hmm… hello?
Voice on the line: Suiichi? How are you?
Kurama: Mother! It's you!
Kurama's Mom: Hey, Suiichi, how is it in America? Do you like it there?
Kurama: It's great. I like it here, don't worry. Are you all right, Mother? You sound sick.
Kurama's Mom: No, son, it's all right. Don't worry about me. I just wanted to check up on you, because I miss you. And your friends? Have you met any new ones yet?
Kurama: Not yet. I'm starting up shop soon. This is a big city and I will make lots of new friends here in Seattle, remember? This place gets people from all over the world.
Kurama's Mom: Your Father is off on a trip again, since there is much going down in the Middle East. You might see him. Well, I have to let you go, dear Suiichi. I hope that living there makes you happier than living here in Tokyo.
Kurama: Like I said, I'm fine. I'll see you or talk to you some other time, all right?
Kurama's Mom: Okay, Hun!
(Kurama hangs up)
Kurama: Oh well, I guess that is all right, since we do have an ocean right next to us. (Yawns loudly) Floral Needle, I'll take you when we open our shop tomorrow. (goes into his room and changes a/n you don't see anything, ladies. Sorry. Neither do you, guys. You pervs…)
Kurama's clock: It's eleven thrity pm.
Kurama: I knew it was late. (climbs into a giant waterbed and pulls up with a manga on his nightstand. Title: "Inu Yasha Vol. 9" All the other volumes are piled up on the floor near his closet.)
(Kurama soon goes to sleep after reading an hour, but off somewhere at a 24 hour Starbucks)
Yusuke: Crap. No home, no money… what to do? What to do? What to do?
Guy: Hey, you. Wanna job?
Yusuke: DO I? DO I? DO I?! HELL YES I WANT ONE!
Guy: (throws hat and apron at Yusuke) here. You're hired.
Yusuke: ALLL RIGHT!
Guy: o.O People these days. Well, your first job is to clean the bathrooms!
Yusuke: Suddenly this didn't become very fun. All right, then.
Guy: Do a good job, now, newbie. (While Yusuke walks into the guys bathroom at the Starbucks, Hiei is sitting in front of the door to Kinokuniya bookstore in the International District)
Hiei: OPEN!
Chinese guy: It won't open. Ten tomorrow.
Hiei: DAMN! (reads his Dragon Quest manga and forgets where he is)
Chinese guy: It's late. Why you not go home?
Hiei: …I have to get a job so I can get a home, that's why.
Chinese guy: I see. You like manga?
Hiei: This kind. (holds up the manga)
Chinese guy: I read Card Captor Sakura.
Hiei: AHHH! (runs off in the direction of the Seahawks stadium)
Kuwabara: This job isn't so bad, I like it. Free sporting events for me! (is seen wearing a Seahawks shirt, Mariners hat, and a Huskies jacket)
Hiei: (runs smack into Kuwabara) IT'S EVIL I TELL YOU! EVIL!
Kuwabara: Hey, it's Hiei.
Hiei: (sees Kuwabara) IT'S WORSE! EVIL KUWABARA!
Kuwabara: Hiei? What happened to you?
Hiei: (huff huff huff, wheeze) that guy… (shiver)
Kuwabara: It's all right. I have a job, and I'm going to get an apartment in the same building Kurama lives in. I'll let you stay with me until you get a job.
Hiei: …all right… (turns back into himself… a/n strange) I will get a job tomorrow.
Kuwabara: Cool! I'm a ticket master guy.
Hiei: That's the only thing that they could get you to do and you COULD do it, right?
Kuwabara: No way, I wanted to! Not only do I get paid, but chicks dig me. …and I get into all the sporting events in this town for free! (does his stupid laugh)
(Back with Yusuke. He just finished the men's room, but he still has the women's to do)
Yusuke: Ah… I've never been in a girl's bathroom before… (walks in and doesn't see many things that a guy does in his own) WOAH. This is different…
(a/n: I don't think that Yusuke's been in a girl's bathroom before. I haven't been in a guy's so I don't know how to make Yusuke act other than shocked)
Guy: Hey, newbie! CLEAN IT ALREADY!
Yusuke: I'M CLEANING IT YOU MORON!
Boss: Is there a problem?
Guy: The newbie's acting all nutzo.
Boss: NEWBIE!
Yusuke: MY NAME'S YUSUKE YOU FREAK! STOP CALLING ME NEWBIE!!

Tenki: Yo, how was that? Maybe some new things to come if I get some reviews… ehh, yeah. (holds up Yu Yu Hakusho manga and Kurama plushie) I have some bed time reading to do… ^_^
Kurama: …have a good dream. (smiles)
Tenki: Of course! (glomps Kurama) You're coming with!
Kurama: What a surprise!
(scene closes off with Tenki reading and glomping the real Kurama while her plushie sits on her nightstand. Kurama's face is red… Outside the door, Yusuke and Hiei are listening in, but are quite disappointed.)
