Brand New Skin

A/N: He made me write it! *points to random person*

 The grounds around Genkai's temple were usually peaceful. Trees as far as the eye could see; enough stairs to make you want to kill whoever designed them… Birds, bunnies, and deer all looking cute…

"You're going to tell Kurama!"

"No, you are!"

Like I said, usually peaceful.

The cause of this disturbance was the meeting of our oh-so-lovable detectives, minus one. If one studies the paragraph two above this one, they may be able to figure out which one.

"You!"

"YOU!"

"YOU!"

"Shut up! He's here!" Hiei hissed with as much venom as he could muster without raising his voice.

Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped arguing as the door slid open and a familiar red head stepped in.

"Hello, I hope I'm not late," Kurama greeted, politeness firmly in place.

"N-No, we just arrived early!" Kuwabara replied quickly, perhaps too quickly?

Kurama took his regular position – leaning against the wall – and said, "I'm assuming we have a mission."

"Err…" Yusuke answered, "Actually, *you* have a mission."

Silence muffled all other sounds until Kurama asked what it was.

"Kurama, you're a great friend and all-"

"And I would trust you with my life-"

"But you have to wear this," Yusuke and Kuwabara finished simultaneously. They held out a green garment as if it were a very stinky, very dirty pair of underwear.

Hiei snorted.

"But that's a… dress…" Kurama blanched.

Twin smiles of pity (or was that delight?) met him.

"We know."

This is a ONE-SHOT! Keyword: ONE-SHOT. I'll even put it in bold for the people who haven't seen this yet. ONE-SHOT! ONE-SHOT! No continuations.

Anyway, random moment of randomness that hit in the middle of the state spelling bee my brother was in. He got 5th! Out of 75 of the states best spellers. Me is very very proud! Kudos to Jojo!
