********

Someone sat at a computer, nodding, then pressed a key.

"Good. Hiei has taken the bait, and he ought to be feeling a little . . . different now."

There was a long, slow, chuckle.

********

{In Kurama's dreams}

Kurama was trapped inside a giant metal egg. To be more precise, he was standing on a ledge midway down the egg, looking down at the murky water that filled the other half.

And then-

Tap, tap, tap. . . .

"What??"

Tap, tap, taptaptap. . . .

"What is it?"

********

Hiei stood in front of the house, and tossed yet another pebble at Kurama's window.

********

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap . . .

"AAAAAAAARGH!" yelled Kurama. "WHAT ARE YOU?? LET ME SEE YOUR FACE!!!!"

Tap. Taptap. Tappity tap.

********

Hiei was getting impatient. WHAT WAS GOING ON UP THERE??

Angry, he picked up a whole handful of pebbles and threw them.

********

The water moved, and Hiei came out, with . . . A MACHINE GUN??

"ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Hiei, and loosed the weapon on Kurama.

Kurama jolted awake.

"What a strange dr-"

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP!

Kurama went over to the window, opened it, and was greeted by about eight pebbles flying at his face.

"AAAAAAAAH!" he yelped, and ducked. Then he raised his head. "HIEI! It's three in the morning! What ARE you doing?"

"Trying to wake you up?"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeease. If that was all, I'm going back to sleep."

SLAM!

Hiei stared up at the now-closed window. "KURAMA!" he yelled, attempting to climb a post on the porch.

Kurama stuck his head out again. "What-Hiei??"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" said Hiei, falling off the post and onto a rosebush.

"MY ROSEBUSH!!!"

"Oooooooooooooooow . . ."

"Hiei, why did you just try to climb my porch?"

"Ooooooooooooooooow . . ."

"Hiei?"

"Ooooooooooooooooow . . ."

Kurama sighed and went downstairs, and outside.

"Hiei?"

Hiei was trying to get out of the rosebush. Unsuccessfully, so far.

Kurama sweatdropped. "Hiei . . . just roll out of the bush."

THUD!

"Ooooooooooooooow . . . This is NOT my day."

"How do you know? THERE'S ONLY BEEN THREE HOURS OF IT, AND I WANTED TO SPEND THEM SLEEPING!!!!"

Hiei allowed himself to be led into the kitchen. "I'm hungry."

Kurama almost dropped his guest. "You. Woke. Me. Up. At. Three. In. The. Morning. Because. You. Were. HUNGRY????"

"No, you fool."

"Now I'm a FOOL, huh? Hiei, I swear, I ought to chuck you into my demon- eating plants."

"Wouldn't do much good," said Hiei, rifling through Kurama's fridge. "Mmmmmmm . . . chocolate miiilk . . ."

"NO."

"Drat," said Hiei, pulling out several large packages. "Anyway-Kurama, what is this?"

"Sushi."

"What?"

"Fish."

"How long did you cook this?"

"It's raw . . ."

"WHAT???"

"I LIKE it."

"You're disgusting."

"Well, have this-it's COOKED-and tell me why you saw fit to wake me up at THREE AM."

"Getting to that. Yum . . ."

"HIEI!!!!!!!!! STOP STUFFING YOUR FACE WITH RICE AND TELL ME WHY YOU WOKE ME UP!!!!"

"Ssssh. You'll wake up your mother."

Kurama briefly considered putting poison in Hiei's food. Too kind . . .

{Five riceballs later}

"Your mother is a good cook."

"I. Know. That. Just. Spit. It. Out. Already!"

"Inhospitable tonight, aren't we? Well, anyway, I got a letter from Koenma."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaand?"

"Getting to that. I had to go fetch some random artifact that Koenma had lost (like the fool he is). And . . . OOOOOOH! CAKE!"

"NO."

"Grmgrmgrmgrm . . . I went to go get it in a 'temple ruins'. It was a ruins OF a ruins of a ruins! I don't why the whole thing didn't fall on me . . . stupid Koenma."

"Aaaaaaaaaaand?"

"Well, I wandered a bit and fell down some stairs . . ."

Kurama raised an eyebrow.

"And after I fell down said stairs, I found the what's-a-macallit Koenma was asking for."

"Can I see it?"

"I don't HAVE it. I reached out for it, and when I touched it, it felt like I got hit by Toguro in the stomach or something. And when I woke up, I was like THIS!!!"

Kurama blinked. "What happened to you?"

"I'm a human, Kurama."

"Oh-WHAT??"

********

Ethelflaed: CLIFFIE!!!!!!!! MWROW!!!!!!!!!!! (rub)

Kurama: (leaves)

Ethelflaed: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! (breaks sound barrier)

Hiei: I can't beLIEVE you turned me into . . . a . . . HUMAN!!!

Ethelflaed: Think of it this way: You COULD be a mouse!

Ethelflaed: . . . For one thing, you get eaten a lot . . .

Mouself: SO!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Ethelflaed: . . .

Mouself: I SHALL SLAY THEM WITH MY FENCING FOIL!!!!!

Ethelflaed: "Rubber tip" ring a bell? (points at own fencing foil)

Mouself: Hm . . . . . . . . . ELECTRIC FOIL! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!

Mouself: Yaymoo!

B/k: Um . . . I really have no earthly idea where you went . . . you just kinda . . . poofed . . . I know! A giant void of nothingness carried you off to . . . somewhere! And um . . . nobody noticed! ^_^U (Ethelflaed: How does someone not notice a giant void of nothingness?) It's nothingness! Therefore it's . . . nothing! ^_^U (Ethelflaed: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. -.- ;;;;;;;;;;) (Ethelflaed: About da "chan" thingy . . . We were told it meant dearly beloved friend . . . not dearly beloved friend who is a girl. Also, chan can be used [I think] as a word meaning deep affection for a boy. A.k.a. Hiei.)
