The Clichéd Body Switching, YYH Style
Chapter 5: Plans Are Set
Disclaimer: Yes, yes, I know. I don't own the YYH characters or SQUIRREL GOES
WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Does it really need to be said? (Hell, haven't I said it already?)
The catastrophe that had occurred was soon under control, or as under control as it was going to get. The spirit group agreed to go to the home of his or her body and act like that person until something could be done. Not the best decision, but descent for the time being. If anyone was worried about it, it was Kurama.
"Try not to say anything to horrid, Hiei," explained Kurama in Yusuke's body. "If you get too uncomfortable living with a loving family, tell them that you need to go to the library and study; even if it's ten at night." He put on a look that expressed anxiousness, which looked really silly on Yusuke's face.
"Hn," responded Hiei inside Kurama in mock understanding. Really, he wasn't even listening, but was lost in his own thoughts, which at the moment read: I'm tall! I'm so tall! I'm the tallest of the tall; the prettiest of the prettiest; the girls will swoon! I hope the Ningen Kuwabara enjoys being short for once- I don't want to switch back; let him keep that mutilated arm and shortness. I'm keeping the tall and prettiness!
Kurama in Yusuke got the feeling that Hiei wasn't paying attention, and hung his head in the deepest despair. Well, he thought it was the deepest despair until a horrifying concept entered his head: he had school tomorrow. The others in the room all decided it would be a good idea to pay attention to him when he had started convulsing.
"Oh my God? What's wrong with Kurama?" inquired Botan in Kuwabara as she, or he (depending on how you look at it), rushed over to him. It was quite funny seeing Kuwabara's big, clumsy body run so nimbly and have such an affectionate and worried look on it's face, that Yusuke in Botan burst into laughter, but stopped when the laughs came out as bubbly giggle fits. "Stop it, Yusuke, this is serious!" Botan in Kuwabara barked. She had reached Kurama in Yusuke and tried to put a comforting hand on his shoulder, but before she, umm, he, could, Kurama in Yusuke lashed out at Hiei in his body, grasped him by the neck, and shook violently.
"IF *shake* YOU *shake* MESS *shake* UP *shake* MY *shake* SCHOOL *shake* GRADES *shake* I'M *shake* NEVER *shake* GOING *shake* TO *shake* FORGIVE YOU!" As he said these last few words, he flung Hiei at a wall. After a couple of seconds of calming down, he ran at Hiei again. Yusuke in Botan thought that he was going to angrily release a second burst of unexpected hostility at Hiei again and flew forward on Botan's oar, (which he was having the time of his life on) smacking Kuwabara in Hiei on the head with Botan's metal bat on his (or her) way over (Kuwabara had been chortling at the fact that Hiei was getting his ass kicked). Yet, Yusuke in Botan reared back and nearly fell off the oar when he realized what Kurama in his body was actually doing. This happened to be spastically examining his (as in Kurama's real body, not the one he is presently in) for any sign of flaw; cuts, scrapes, rumbled hair, etc. When Hiei in his body finally shook the still convulsing, pink/deep red haired, still wanting to look for flaw, Kitsune (but secretly Kitsune at the moment for he wasn't in his demon form), Kurama in Yusuke spoke again.
"I'm coming to my real house at four o'clock tomorrow morning and getting you ready to go to my school," he gasped with a fierce look in his (or rather, Yusuke's) eye.
"But doesn't your school not start till eight?" asked Kuwabara in Hiei's body, as he faded back into consciousness from the severe whacking that Yusuke had given him with the bat. "What are you going over THAT early for?"
"Yeah!" added Yusuke in Botan. "Remember that you're in my body, and my mom expects me to get up after school starts, not before!"
"Well," responded Kurama in Yusuke, as if the reality of it had been completely obvious, "I've got to get Hiei, or rather, myself and myself, er, Yusuke, ready for school." With these words, Yusuke put on an outrageously wicked smile (which looked completely psychotic on Botan's face). "Uh oh..." sighed Kurama in his body.
"Kurama... you're going to get me good grades, right? I mean, you've always complained that I should try harder in school, so maybe if you're cramming and studying in my body, um, my brains might, um..., absorb some of your knowledge!" This is all that Yusuke in Botan said aloud, but added an afterthought in his (or her) mind: plus, Keiko will be all over me, crooning about my rising test scores!
"All right Yusuke," Kurama in his body agreed, rolling his eyes. "This is not because I think your plan is strategic, it's actually wholly preposterous, but because maybe it will make the teachers praise you when you return to your real body. That might encourage you to continue showing good work and effort." I doubt it, Kurama thought. At this point, the latter matters were over done being discussed, and more important business arose.
The spirit group had to begin acting like the person whose body they resided in (except Hiei in Kurama who would be taught how to be Kurama the next morning, and Kurama who Yusuke wanted to be smart). Now Yusuke just needed to act like Botan, Botan just needed to pretend to be Kuwabara, and Kuwabara just needed to impersonate Hiei. All easier said than done. Yusuke's soul was too masculine and fight loving to act like Botan, Botan's spirit was too feminine and weak to pretend to be Kuwabara, and Kuwabara's being was too dumb, loud, obnoxious, and tall to impersonate Hiei. Kurama in Yusuke decided to help out.
"Listen, it's getting dark out and we will all have to get to our bodies' respected areas of living. Trying to get Yusuke to act like Botan and Kuwabara to act like Hiei is not peremptory at the moment," he clarified. "They will not have to be wandering around in school or the general public tomorrow or maybe not even any time soon." He had to stop and throw a perturbed glare at Yusuke in Botan and Kuwabara in Hiei who were high-fiving each other at the fact that they didn't have to go to school. Then, he continued, "However, Botan is going to have to go to school tomorrow as Kuwabara, so lets concentrate on trying to get her to play the role of Kuwabara."
"Is there any way you can just avoid getting into any fights until we 'nab Gimokodan and get him to set things straight?" asked Yusuke in Botan, doubting it greatly.
"No; she'll get totaled," Kuwabara in Hiei answered before Botan in him could. He was thinking back to the time when he has told his beaver-teethed teacher Mr. Akashi that he wouldn't fight for a whole week in order to save his friend's job (A/N: Episode 3- Kuwabara: A Promise Between Men ^_^). Although he had managed to keep his promise, he had gotten the shit beat out of him. "It might work if all she did was go to school and then straight home, but that's not going to be easy. My sister likes to throw me out of the house..."
"You could ditch all your classes," offered Yusuke in Botan. "He does that all the time- just not as much as me." He forced Botan's mouth into a smug grin, as if it was something to be proud of (which, in Yusuke's case, it was).
"Being Kuwabara is the most simplistic thing in all three of the worlds," reported an aggravated Hiei in Kurama's body. He dodged Kurama in Yusuke (who had found a hair sticking out of his real body's head, and was now trying to flatten it back into place with the rest of his real hair) and started to list Kuwabara's attributes. "You just have to wander around like a clumsy oaf and be: stupid, confused, and act like a savior to Yukina." An angry little glint of light flared in Hiei's eyes (at least the two that were visible) as he said the latter. "The only thing worth fussing over is the fighting bit, since he never seems to NOT want to fight; too bad he always looses anyway, and that won't be a problem for you, Botan."
Yusuke in Botan had to hold Kuwabara in Hiei back as he tried to dive forward and attack Hiei in Kurama.
"Hold still!" roared Kurama in Yusuke as he finally managed to replace the misplaced hair. "Botan, just try not to get into any fights tomorrow- we'll give you some basic, but helpful lessons of fighting tomorrow after school. Here. Yes, that sounds right. We all should meet back here after school tomorrow.
"What if I do get into a fight?" asked Botan in Kuwabara eagerly.
"Grab the nearest heavy object and bash the person fighting you over the head with it; you're good at that," offered Yusuke in Botan as he acted it out with the metal bat.
"All of this is good and well, but has it occurred to anyone that Genkai might be here tomorrow?" inquired Hiei in Kurama, who was now leaning on a wall near one of the room's corners with his arms crossed over his chest and had foot against the wall. He was thinking this: this is the position that all the tall, sexy bishounen stand in! I'll be able to do it and look all mysterious and sexy, and everyone will love me! (A/N: What Hiei doesn't realize is that we already love him-and his shortness- and we already think he's drop dead gorgeous. I love you Hiei!!! T_T)
"We might end up having to tell her," worried Botan in Kuwabara. She, er, he, ummm... wasn't sure if it was a good idea; none of them were. However, it seemed that it would it wouldn't really be necessary to tell her anyway; hell, she's the one who's supposed to be psychic! So it didn't make a difference after a while in their minds: the pink haired old lady would eventually figure it out.
"Well, that's it then," concluded Kuwabara in Hiei. "We should all go home now, or to the Spirit World in Yusuke's case. I'll just stay here, I guess, since I don't know where Hiei goes when he's not with us."
"And I'm not inclined to tell you, you ignorant baka," cut in Hiei in Kurama from his corner; where he looked extremely sexy (A/N: I love you to Kurama!!! T_T).
"And I'll stay here too, since I don't know the way to the Spirit World," said Yusuke I Botan.
"I don't know if you'd be aloud in to the Reikai anyway; you may look like me, but you still have your soul. Speaking of the Reikai, what are we going to tell Lord KoEnma?" flustered Botan in Kuwabara.
"The chances are he already knows," put in Kurama in Yusuke. And that was that. The sun had begun to set and Kurama in Yusuke, Hiei in Kurama, and Botan in Kuwabara left for their (or their bodies') homes. Yusuke in Botan and Kuwabara in Hiei (who was rejoicing that he didn't have to live with his sister for a little while) stayed at Genkai's dojo and night was set in peace; until...
"SQUIRREL GOES WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted a flying squirrel in an illuminant red cape (A/N: you knew he had to be in here somewhere- besides it says in the disclaimer XD). When the noise resounded through the woods surrounding Genkai's place and reached Hiei in Kurama's ears, he turned around to look toward Genkai's dojo. He stared for a while, saw the squirrel, and followed its flight path with his eyes to a corner of the dojo's roof; once there, the squirrel seemed to disappear. On the corner of Genkai's roof, however, hovered two gleaming, ruby red eyes. Hiei knew they belonged to the sinister Gimokodan, and he turned away and kept walking; a furious loathing building inside him with every step. He didn't tell his companions that he had seen the culprit, for he knew that Gimokodan had vanished the moment he had turned around and continued hiking toward the town. He knew that Gimokodan had intended Hiei, even in Kurama's body, to see him.
I'm going to cut out your lustrous red eyes with my sword, slowly, Gimokodan. They're only red because of all the innocent blood you've drunk; the blood of those you killed; the blood of the people we used to know. I'll get you...traitor, Hiei thought. He didn't look back until he got to Kurama's house, where he could only look in the direction of Genkai's dojo, for it was now too far away too see between all the trees. But he knew that Gimokodan would try with all his malicious being to get what he wanted; a secret that was known only to Hiei.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
A/N: Sorry it took so long to update; I've been- what's the word?- lazy. Actually, I've been on a reading spree, be it fan fiction or the eight and half books I've finished in the last two weeks or so. Plus, I just got the idea for Kurama to go spastic two days ago, and the plot formed around that. I'm also sorry that not much has happened to the characters yet; I go slowly with my plots. But I promise stuff will happen in the next chapter (at the very least they go to school). Thank you all who have responded to my format question. You can tell what it was, and I know it was a little over used and unnecessary in this chapter, but it will help in the next chapter when the people at school call them by their bodies' names. I'll try to get the next chapter updated ASAP (it will probably be a while then...) but I do have some ideas. "The sun hurts." And always remember to play with their minds!!!
