"Seattle Life"
Chapter 2
Tenki: Konnichiwa! ...or Ohaiyoo Gozaimasu if you're reading this in the morning! Welcome to the irristably cool fan fic about the four heroes of Yu Yu Hakusho to live in Seattle. Inspired by my own ambitions and expeditions, this fic is based on the weird thoughts of myself.
Kurama: Hmm, and it says here in the script that you might enter, Tenki. (points at the script, but Tenki takes a chainsaw to the script)
Yusuke: You think she's really against conformity?
Kuwabara: I didn't think that the pretty lady could be so violent!
Hiei: What's it matter to you, idiot?
Kuwabara: Did you just call me an idiot AGAIN!?
Kurama: Oh, not again. (sigh)
Tenki: (throws manga at Hiei and he automatically takes it up and reads it)
Hiei: (laughs. A/N: Really he's laughing) Ranma 1/2 is great!
Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke: (sweat drop)
Tenki: Hey, someone do disclaimer!
Kurama: Tenki owns nothing used in this fic, such as places, or us from the show. Or the seagulls from Finding Nemo... Tenki however, does own herself and all the funny things that happen in the story. And the theme song too.
Tenki: Close enough! ROLL FICCY!

Announcer guy from YYH: In the last episode of Seattle Life, our heroes were getting used to the life in a new city and a new country by finding a place to live and getting a job. With Kurama's plan already in motion, what will the others do to keep up with the changes in their new place?
**
Theme song for Seattle Life plays:
Yusuke: (sings) A new place takes me
Far past the realms I knew
Giving me opportunity
To do what I wish to do.
Kurama: (sings) Letting my talents soar
Will not be as hard
As it was back at home
Trying it all in my back yard...
Kuwabara: (sings) OH!!! I've never felt
This way before in a place
That takes me like I'm a human
Instead part of an ugly race!!!
Hiei: (sings) How I came here
Makes no sense to me
All I know is that Kuwabara
Doesn't need opportunity
Hiei and Yusuke: (sings) to do
What he does best!!!!!!
Kuwabara: (speaks) EXCUSE ME URAMESHI!
Kurama: (sings) IN SEATTLE!
Kuwabara: (sings) In Seattle!
Hiei: (sings) In Seattle!
Yusuke: (sings) All is well!
All: (laugh)

(scene opens at Kurama's apartment, where he is sleeping and the clock reads 6:59)
Kurama: (talks in sleep) I didn't know that they had chocolate roses...
Clock: (alarm sounds)
Kurama: (wakes up. Is wearing fluffy looking nightgown and funny hat with a pom-pom at the end of it A/N like Link's hat from Zelda, but not green) AH! (yawns) Well, well, we have the start of a whole new morning!
(scene goes to Yusuke)
Yusuke: (is grunting about cleaning bathrooms) I didn't think Starbucks had more than ONE bathroom for each gender! (yawns) I'm exhausted. Just because it's a 24 hour place doesn't mean that we have to work 24 hours does it?
Guy: Hey, NEWBIE! I got news from the BOSS!
Yusuke: I wonder what the others are doing? (imagines Kuwabara sitting on a bridge homeless, begging for people to help him feed himself and his cat) Yup, that's Kuwabara.
Guy: Are you coming or not, NEWBIE?
Yusuke: (face turns red as he walks out of the bathroom he was cleaning) Yes, oh GUY who works at counter?
Guy: Just call me Guy. My name is Guy Fokker.
Yusuke: Guy Fokker? That's your name? (laughs uncontrollably for almost an hour at Guy's full name)
(scene goes to Kuwabara and Hiei)
Landlord: Okay, so you're saying that you need a two person apartment here in Frazer's apartment building?
Kuwabara: Yes.
Landlord: Is this little guy your son? (points at Hiei)
Hiei: Hn. (scorns at the Landlord, and pulls out sword)
Landlord: Oh, so you're... I understand. You need only one room, right?
Kuwabara: Actually, we do need to rooms. This is the brother of my love who should be coming any time.
Landlord: So three people, two rooms... are you sure that you're not only going to need one?
Hiei: I'm not in love with this TWIT! (charges up DODF A/N: Dragon of the Darkness Flame)
Kuwabara: Are you hinting that we all sleep together? HOW DARE YOU INSULT YUKINA IN THAT WAY! (gets out Spirit Sword)
Landlord: All right! Room 23457853579989986431135788764321455678 is just perfect for all three of you! Straight as can be, I swear! (gets out key to that room and Hiei takes it, letting his DODF die out for now)
(Both Kuwabara and Hiei go up in the elevator)
Hiei: I hate people like that.
Kuwabara: I just hope that I can afford to bring Yukina over.
Hiei: YOU WON'T! I won't have her over here in this place, when she is happy in the Ice World.
Kuwabara: How in the hell did we decide to get an apartment together anyway?
Hiei: I'm leaving after 9:30, because I'm going to the Kinokuniya bookstore to get a job.
(elevator stops, and is on the top floor. Their apartment is right across the hall from Kurama's, who is in the middle of fixing some cereal for himself)
Kurama: (pours bowl of Cocoa Puffs) Hmm... (gets milk and pours it in, then starts to eat) I really need to stop eating chocolate today. I have already eaten all the cookies I made after mother called last night...
(back at Kuwabara and Hiei's new apartment)
Kuwabara: Here it is... (unlocks door and walks in)
Hiei: Hn. Pathetic. I guess it's all right for people like you. (glares at Kuwabara for no apparent reason) My room is the one with the view.
Kuwabara: And why is that?
Hiei: So when I have free time, I don't have to stare at your ugly stupid face. (smiles cheerily and walks into his room, gets out all 20 new manga books he found at random places and arranges them nicely on the floor since there is no furniture)
Kuwabara: Don't you have any furniture or anything, shrimp?
Hiei: Excuse me?
Kuwabara: How are you expecting Yukina to live here without furniture?
Hiei: She's not moving here, KuwaBAKA!
Kuwabara: GRR... Shizuru would kick your ass if you were to say that around her. That's her last name too.
Hiei: No, your sister is kinda hot, actually.
Kuwabara: No way... You like Shizuru?
Hiei: ...and you like Yukina. So it's a fair trade.
Kuwabara: FAIR TRADE MY ASS!! I won't have you getting with Shizuru if it takes it out of me. You're a jerk, a shrimp, and have no respect for anyone!!
Hiei: OH REALLY? When was the last time you told your mother thank you?
Kuwabara: ...umm, my mom's dead I think.
Hiei: You think? Okay, when was the last time you told your father thank you?
Kuwabara: My dad ran out on us. Shizuru took care of me herself for the longest time. She was a crappy cook.
Hiei: She can too cook! Hmm, she makes the best macaroni and cheese.
Kuwabara: Yeah, but that's all she could make, except beans and franks.
Hiei: BEANS AND FRANKS?! ...and MACARONI AND CHEESE! Those are my two favorite foods in the world! (starts daydreaming about Shizuru cooking for him and then they have the most romantic dinner ever...)
Kuwabara: Well, I guess that if you let me marry Yukina, I'll let you marry Shizuru, if that's all right with her.
Hiei: We won't eat for a whole month to pay for them to come across on the plane! Yes, it's perfect!
(Yusuke currently is working at the counter at Starbucks, looking like he hasn't slept in weeks)
Guy: All right, Newbie, what is your name?
Yusuke: It's really Yusuke Urameshi.
Guy: Hmm, that's a nice name. I like it. Wanna trade?
Yusuke: Trade? For your name? How many people actually have the name Guy Fokker?
Guy: Well, my dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad, his dad...
Yusuke: So what number are you?
Guy: Oh, you mean name wise? Actually, I'm 30. Guy Fokker the XXX.
Yusuke: Is there anything about that name?
Guy: No one was ever born with that name. We were always adopted, because no one was ever able to have kids.
Yusuke: That's horrible.
Guy: Nah. I really didn't like the family I came from... full of women lovers and all...
Yusuke: SO THAT NAME IS TRUE?!
Guy: And I wanted you to be my wife...
Yusuke: Ohh, wow. I have a GIRL FRIEND! ...a real GIRL friend who's gonna be my WIFE!
Guy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Boss: What's wrong, Guy?
Guy: The Newbie Yusuke has... a... GIRL FRIEND! Who he's going to... MARRY!! (starts to cry loudly in squeaky tone)
Boss: Oh, that tears it, Yusuke Urameshi! This is an all Guy Fokker Starbucks! No woman lovers here, no way! YOU'RE FIRED!
(at that time, Kurama walks in the Starbucks to see Yusuke walking and throwing his apron back at the Guy Fokkers)
Kurama: Yusuke! Are you all right?
Yusuke: Yeah, I'm all right. Can I perhaps get a job from you?
Kurama: You have to wait! I haven't even set up shop yet!
Boss: Ohh, son, ask him! (sounds seductive, or rather, trying to be)
Guy: Hello, friend of Yusuke-girl lover, umm, would you like a boyfriend?
Kurama: No, love is not in my interest right at this point... I was wondering if you have any chocolate covered coffee beans?
Guy: Yes, we do. (gets a bag of CCCB) Let's see... is there anything else?
Yusuke: Kurama! He's hitting on you!
Kurama: no. That's all.
Guy: Are you sure? (tries to wiggle man boobs)
Kurama: In fact, I'm just going to have to leave... right now! (both Kurama and Yusuke run out of the shop quickly)
Yusuke: That was the scariest thing I had ever been through!
Kurama: There are people like that all over up here. I read it in the newspaper about their constitution being changed to allow that kind of person to really be lawful...
(Both shiver)
Yusuke: So you're going to the Pike Place Market to set up shop today?
Kurama: Yeah. Today I'll be getting all the flowers shipped in before 8:00, so I'd better be on my way.
Yusuke: I'm going to see if I can get a job somewhere in there today. That stupid Starbucks... I wish I never started working there, Kurama. Thanks for going in and helping me escape those... people.
Kurama: Well, Yusuke, I'll just have to say that you didn't know the world up here for what it is yet.
(Both stop to see a giant market full of flowers and people everywhere)
Kurama: This is it. I always wanted to run a flower shop in a place like this.
Yusuke: Well, I guess that's because you like to run flower shops.
(Both go inside and find Kurama's little shop area is marked off for him. On the right side of his shop, is a chocolate store. To the left is a dragon and mystical workings shop. Across from it is an empty space, which gives Yusuke an idea.)
Yusuke: Hey, Kurama, where did you get the deed for that little place? I think I want to start a shop of my own.
Kurama: There's a whole ton of paperwork, and you have to have proof you can do whatever it is that you want to do. That's all I remember. There's a committee that deals with the thing... (goes inside his shop and starts arranging things)
Yusuke: I'm off to find that group!! (runs off)
Kurama: There's nothing I can do about that.
Girl next door: Ohh, well that's enough!
Man next door: I can't stand this place!!
Girl next door: You don't need to talk like that.
Man next door: Tenki! Just because you pay my check doesn't mean you can talk to me like that!
Tenki: Well, I'm sorry that you don't have a thick skin! Please, just go! YOU'RE FIRED!
Man: (leaving the shop full of chocolate things) WHATEVER! YOU THINK ANYONE WANTS TO BY THAT DAMN FOOD OF YOURS YOU'RE MISTAKEN! (leaves the market angrily)
Tenki: (sigh) Well, there goes the neighborhood. He is right though. No one likes Chocolate Covered Rice Balls... except me... (opens a CCRB, and starts to eat it) Gotta think of what I'm going to do... Chocolate is brain food...
Kurama: (looks over to see a depressed Tenki in her shop full of chocolate goodies, in which he was hungry for, so he walks over to the other shop) ...are you open yet?
Tenki: ...umm... (sees Kurama and smiles, trying to hide she's all mad at the guy who left earlier) If you're interested in buying anything, sure.
Kurama: I overheard in a conversation in another shop about your chocolate covered rice balls, and that they're homemade...
Tenki: Yeah, they are... (takes another bite of hers) Why do you ask?
Kurama: Because... umm... I was wondering how much they are?
Tenki: (gets a CCRB and puts it on her counter) I won't charge you. I'm probably going to fall over in debt anyway.
Kurama: I have to pay you what they're worth, since you had to use your own materials to make them...
Tenki: I don't care if you have to... I'll give you one, if it will get you to your own shop. I know that you work next door... You're the flower boy.
Kurama: No, my name is Kurama.
Tenki: Flower boy suits you more than Kurama, I think.
Kurama: (puts a $5 on the counter where the rice ball was) Take it. I don't want to feel like I'm stealing my breakfast.
Tenki: They used to be popular in Japan. I wanted to open a real Japanese restaurant, but it didn't work out that way. No one even buys my Pocky, which is the food of the Otaku, since I just happen to be...
Kurama: You sell Pocky to support the ways of the Otaku, Tenki?
Tenki: How do you know my name?
Kurama: (points at a sign above the door.) This place is called "Tenki's Chocolate Goodies". You seem to be the only one that works here, since that man just left, right?
Tenki: You found me out.
Kurama: I know someone who is going to get a job at Kinokuniya, and he'll advertise for you. I'll have him do that, if you want.
Tenki: No. Thank you, Kurama. It was nice meeting you, but I have to open up my shop now, and besides, those flower guys over there look kinda angry... you left them hanging. (smiles and points at annoyed Flower Guys)
Flower Guy 1: Hey, are you Kurama?
Kurama: Yes.
Flower Guy 2: Well, we have your order! Come unlock the place for us!!
Kurama: (nods) I should. I'm on my way. (waves good-bye to Tenki, and walks to unlock the small place for the Flower Guys) Hey, don't loose yourself in all the impatience you seem to flourish in.
Flower Guy 2: Don't use big words with me to make you sound so damn smart, Pansy Man!
Tenki: Oh, no... not him again... (gets katana from behind her counter and walks over to the flower shop) All right, who called the gentleman a Pansy? (points katana at Flower Guy 2) I don't tolerate that kind of behavior!
Flower Guy 1: Okay... geez... I heard about you, Tenki! You're that girl from Japan that was gonna make it big, but didn't get to.
Tenki: Well, someone did their homework. How highly unexpected!
Kurama: ^_^v Ah would you carry your business somewhere else?
Flower Guy 2: FINE! (both leave)
Tenki: I'm sorry about that... (starts to leave when Kurama pulls out a rose from a bouquet)
Kurama: Tenki, you're brighter than anyone I know. Take this. (offers her the rose)
Tenki: Here. (puts a $5 on the counter) I don't wanna steal it. (takes the rose gently from his hand and nods softly) It's beautiful. (turns slowly and leaves without another word said)
(scene change to Kuwabara and Hiei)
Hiei: I'm going to Kinokuniya. See ya. (leaves happily)
Kuwabara: Well, I'm going to see about the beach! (gets in swim trunks and has towel around his neck) HA!!!
(following Hiei)
Hiei: (singing) I love manga, I love manga, it's the best thing in the world! (taps heels in the air while walking) I love manga, I love manga, I wouldn't trade it for a hot looking girl! (skips A/N: how freaky can it get?)
All the Hiei fans from some random place: DAMN!
Hiei: (still singing) I love manga, I love manga, it's my newest obsession! (twirls around) I love manga, I love manga, it's my greatest and most valued possession! (does hand stand and skips while walking on hands)
Tenki: That's really freaky...
Fan girls: YOU'RE NOT IN THIS SCENE!
Tenki: I know! (leaves scene)
Fan girls: Oh well. (teleports to Kinokuniya, where they hide behind all the manga racks to spy on the approaching bishonen)
Hiei: (singing) I love manga, I love manga, give me a new volume of (says really fast) Dragon Quest, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2, Yu-Gi-Oh! (stops suddenly and looks up to see a big banner reading "MANGA SALE!") (speaks) HOLY PILE OF KUWABARA CRAP! (goes in to see all the manga on the walls) Heavenly angels have taken me to my dream world...
(with Kuwabara)
Kuwabara: Ah, yes, the beach. A fine place to meet... (looks at ground) Hey what's this?
Seagull 1: Mine! Mine!
Kuwabara: I didn't know that seagulls could talk.
Seagull 2: Mine, mine!!
Kuwabara: I guess cause I'm cool that I can listen to them! (looks at ground to see a little white marble like thing)
Voice: You have picked me up!!! I WILL CURSE YOU!!
Kuwabara: What I do?
Voice: FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL BE A SEAGULL!!
Kuwabara: That's cheap shit, man. (magic dust covers him and he turns into a seagull o.O) Mine!
Voice: FOREVER YOU SHALL BE DOOMED UNTIL YOUR TRUE LOVE KISSES YOU BY HER OWN WILL!!
Kuwabara Seagull: MIIIIINE!!
Voice: MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

YYH Announcer Guy: With this new transformation, how will the others deal with life in Seattle? Can Kuwabara find his true love for him to change? What role does the mysterious Tenki play in all of this? Find out next episode of "Seattle Life"!!
Kurama: Hello, this is Kurama. I have come to tell you that in the next episode, we learn more about Hiei's obessession with manga, and discover plenty about Kuwabara. With my new shop next door to Tenki's chocolate shop, I believe we will have another great episode coming your way on the next "Seattle Life"

Ending theme song plays:
Tenki: I only wanted a decent life
But instead a little change came my way
In a town called Seattle!
Kurama: I only wanted a little change
But instead a little flowers came my way
In a town called Seattle!
Both: Seattle is the place to be!
Seattle is the place for me!
For shopping days,
For anyone astray,
For anything anytime right down town...
SEATTLE!

Me: Whew, whattya think of that? I just got finished with my Red Headed Bishonen game show ficcy up to chapter three, and it's really late. Kurama, I'll see you later!
Kurama: Why?
Me: I LOVE YOU! (glomp)
Kurama: I know, I know... just don't be like Miss Tenki...
Me: I am Tenki!
Kurama: Oh, but your name says...

Guy: Yes, we do. (gets a bag of CCCB) Let's see... is there anything else?
Yusuke: Kurama! He's hitting on you!
Kurama: no. That's all.
Guy: Are you sure? (tries to wiggle man boobs)
Kurama: In fact, I'm just going to have to leave... right now! (both Kurama and Yusuke run out of the shop quickly)
Yusuke: That was the scariest thing I had ever been through!
Kurama: There are people like that all over up here. I read it in the newspaper about their constitution being changed to allow that kind of person to really be lawful...
(Both shiver)
Yusuke: So you're going to the Pike Place Market to set up shop today?
Kurama: Yeah. Today I'll be getting all the flowers shipped in before 8:00, so I'd better be on my way.
Yusuke: I'm going to see if I can get a job somewhere in there today. That stupid Starbucks... I wish I never started working there, Kurama. Thanks for going in and helping me escape those... people.
Kurama: Well, Yusuke, I'll just have to say that you didn't know the world up here for what it is yet.
(Both stop to see a giant market full of flowers and people everywhere)
Kurama: This is it. I always wanted to run a flower shop in a place like this.
Yusuke: Well, I guess that's because you like to run flower shops.
(Both go inside and find Kurama's little shop area is marked off for him. On the right side of his shop, is a chocolate store. To the left is a dragon and mystical workings shop. Across from it is an empty space, which gives Yusuke an idea.)
Yusuke: Hey, Kurama, where did you get the deed for that little place? I think I want to start a shop of my own.
Kurama: There's a whole ton of paperwork, and you have to have proof you can do whatever it is that you want to do. That's all I remember. There's a committee that deals with the thing... (goes inside his shop and starts arranging things)
Yusuke: I'm off to find that group!! (runs off)
Kurama: There's nothing I can do about that.
Girl next door: Ohh, well that's enough!
Man next door: I can't stand this place!!
Girl next door: You don't need to talk like that.
Man next door: Tenki! Just because you pay my check doesn't mean you can talk to me like that!
Tenki: Well, I'm sorry that you don't have a thick skin! Please, just go! YOU'RE FIRED!
Man: (leaving the shop full of chocolate things) WHATEVER! YOU THINK ANYONE WANTS TO BY THAT DAMN FOOD OF YOURS YOU'RE MISTAKEN! (leaves the market angrily)
Tenki: (sigh) Well, there goes the neighborhood. He is right though. No one likes Chocolate Covered Rice Balls... except me... (opens a CCRB, and starts to eat it) Gotta think of what I'm going to do... Chocolate is brain food...
Kurama: (looks over to see a depressed Tenki in her shop full of chocolate goodies, in which he was hungry for, so he walks over to the other shop) ...are you open yet?
Tenki: ...umm... (sees Kurama and smiles, trying to hide she's all mad at the guy who left earlier) If you're interested in buying anything, sure.
Kurama: I overheard in a conversation in another shop about your chocolate covered rice balls, and that they're homemade...
Tenki: Yeah, they are... (takes another bite of hers) Why do you ask?
Kurama: Because... umm... I was wondering how much they are?
Tenki: (gets a CCRB and puts it on her counter) I won't charge you. I'm probably going to fall over in debt anyway.
Kurama: I have to pay you what they're worth, since you had to use your own materials to make them...
Tenki: I don't care if you have to... I'll give you one, if it will get you to your own shop. I know that you work next door... You're the flower boy.
Kurama: No, my name is Kurama.
Tenki: Flower boy suits you more than Kurama, I think.
Kurama: (puts a $5 on the counter where the rice ball was) Take it. I don't want to feel like I'm stealing my breakfast.
Tenki: They used to be popular in Japan. I wanted to open a real Japanese restaurant, but it didn't work out that way. No one even buys my Pocky, which is the food of the Otaku, since I just happen to be...
Kurama: You sell Pocky to support the ways of the Otaku, Tenki?
Tenki: How do you know my name?
Kurama: (points at a sign above the door.) This place is called "Tenki's Chocolate Goodies". You seem to be the only one that works here, since that man just left, right?
Tenki: You found me out.
Kurama: I know someone who is going to get a job at Kinokuniya, and he'll advertise for you. I'll have him do that, if you want.
Tenki: No. Thank you, Kurama. It was nice meeting you, but I have to open up my shop now, and besides, those flower guys over there look kinda angry... you left them hanging. (smiles and points at annoyed Flower Guys)
Flower Guy 1: Hey, are you Kurama?
Kurama: Yes.
Flower Guy 2: Well, we have your order! Come unlock the place for us!!
Kurama: (nods) I should. I'm on my way. (waves good-bye to Tenki, and walks to unlock the small place for the Flower Guys) Hey, don't loose yourself in all the impatience you seem to flourish in.
Flower Guy 2: Don't use big words with me to make you sound so damn smart, Pansy Man!
Tenki: Oh, no... not him again... (gets katana from behind her counter and walks over to the flower shop) All right, who called the gentleman a Pansy? (points katana at Flower Guy 2) I don't tolerate that kind of behavior!
Flower Guy 1: Okay... geez... I heard about you, Tenki! You're that girl from Japan that was gonna make it big, but didn't get to.
Tenki: Well, someone did their homework. How highly unexpected!
Kurama: ^_^v Ah would you carry your business somewhere else?
Flower Guy 2: FINE! (both leave)
Tenki: I'm sorry about that... (starts to leave when Kurama pulls out a rose from a bouquet)
Kurama: Tenki, you're brighter than anyone I know. Take this. (offers her the rose)
Tenki: Here. (puts a $5 on the counter) I don't wanna steal it. (takes the rose gently from his hand and nods softly) It's beautiful. (turns slowly and leaves without another word said)
(scene change to Kuwabara and Hiei)
Hiei: I'm going to Kinokuniya. See ya. (leaves happily)
Kuwabara: Well, I'm going to see about the beach! (gets in swim trunks and has towel around his neck) HA!!!
(following Hiei)
Hiei: (singing) I love manga, I love manga, it's the best thing in the world! (taps heels in the air while walking) I love manga, I love manga, I wouldn't trade it for a hot looking girl! (skips A/N: how freaky can it get?)
All the Hiei fans from some random place: DAMN!
Hiei: (still singing) I love manga, I love manga, it's my newest obsession! (twirls around) I love manga, I love manga, it's my greatest and most valued possession! (does hand stand and skips while walking on hands)
Tenki: That's really freaky...
Fan girls: YOU'RE NOT IN THIS SCENE!
Tenki: I know! (leaves scene)
Fan girls: Oh well. (teleports to Kinokuniya, where they hide behind all the manga racks to spy on the approaching bishonen)
Hiei: (singing) I love manga, I love manga, give me a new volume of (says really fast) Dragon Quest, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2, Yu-Gi-Oh! (stops suddenly and looks up to see a big banner reading "MANGA SALE!") (speaks) HOLY PILE OF KUWABARA CRAP! (goes in to see all the manga on the walls) Heavenly angels have taken me to my dream world...
(with Kuwabara)
Kuwabara: Ah, yes, the beach. A fine place to meet... (looks at ground) Hey what's this?
Seagull 1: Mine! Mine!
Kuwabara: I didn't know that seagulls could talk.
Seagull 2: Mine, mine!!
Kuwabara: I guess cause I'm cool that I can listen to them! (looks at ground to see a little white marble like thing)
Voice: You have picked me up!!! I WILL CURSE YOU!!
Kuwabara: What I do?
Voice: FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL BE A SEAGULL!!
Kuwabara: That's cheap shit, man. (magic dust covers him and he turns into a seagull o.O) Mine!
Voice: FOREVER YOU SHALL BE DOOMED UNTIL YOUR TRUE LOVE KISSES YOU BY HER OWN WILL!!
Kuwabara Seagull: MIIIIINE!!
Voice: MUHAHAHAHAHA!!
