Chapter 2: Party
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH.
~KURAMA'S POV~
"Botan! I can't believe you brought that!" I shouted, staring shockingly at the package under Botan's arm.
"Shh… quiet, Kurama. I just wanted to… uh… liven up the party a little," She said, setting down the package.
"But-But…" I stammered, trying to retaliate. But I knew I couldn't say it, especially in front of Yusuke and Kuwabara. I knew they'd grab the package at once. So, I grabbed Botan by the arm and dragged her outside, leaving the package in the house. "Botan," I urgently whispered. "You KNOW that what you brought is a special type of Makai sake. It's about five times more alcoholic than liquor is. And if Yusuke or Kuwabara gets their hands on it, there is going to be some BIG trouble!" But she just brushed it away like it was nothing.
"Oh, don't be such a worrywart, Kurama. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" I glared at her.
"That's easy. Everybody gets drunk, and Yusuke and Kuwabara get loose and wreak havoc on Tokyo." And finally, Botan gave in.
"Alright, Alright. You win. I'll go return it to Spirit World." She said, defeated, and I sighed.
"Thank you, Botan." And we both walked back inside Kuwabara's house. Whereas, upon arrival, I got a nasty shock. I took a quick look around the room, and mentally groaned. It was too late. Yusuke and Kuwabara had already found the sake, and were now racing around the room, smashing into stuff, shouting in voices that sounded like a horde of mice on steroids. The large package lay, opened, on the floor, and I cursed myself for forgetting to bring it.
Distressed, I quickly walked over to Keiko, hoping she could calm Yusuke down.
"Keiko, can you please-" But I never finished the sentence. Keiko catapulted herself at me, and proceeded to squeeze the life out of me. "Kei-Kei-Keiko-" I managed to stammer out. "What are you doing?"
"Hi, Mr. Stickabee!"(AN: Heh, heh… I just finished reading Marlfox. Don't own that.) My left eye twitched unnaturally as I looked down at the girl attached to my waist. Oh well… it's nothing I'm not used to. After all, I am the one who has to deal with my own after-school fan club. I unlatched Keiko from myself, and upon closer inspection, saw that she had fallen under the power of influence, from Yusuke, no doubt. And if she was drunk… then Botan would be too, pretty soon.
And as if on cue, Botan staggered up to me and repeated Keiko's process. A few minutes later, I finally had the two girls under control, and when they stopped stifling my air supply, I ran into the living room, over to the one person whom I knew would never even touch the Makai sake. Yukina.
"Yukina, could you please help me get everybody else under control? Please?" Yukina's large crimson eyes rose up to meet my emerald green ones, and she stared at me for a moment, almost in bewilderment. But I saw something was very different in her soft eyes. She just stared at me, and stared, and stared until…
"HI, MR. STICKABEE!" And at the shout, everyone, including Yusuke and Kuwabara, immediately dropped what they were doing and turned and looked straight at me.
"Oh Ina-" And that was all I got out of my mouth before being dogpiled.
Under the crushing weight, I saw Yusuke fight his way out of the pile, grab a blue glass bottle from the package, and walked in front of me. I clamped my mouth shut, not allowing myself to lose control. However, Yusuke was not about to accept that fact. He pried my mouth open, and I vaguely felt the opening being stuck in my mouth, before a burning liquid was being poured down my throat. And the next thing I'm doing is jumping from under the pile onto the rectangular coffee table, shouting, "HI! I'M MR. STICKABEE!"
Most of the rest of the party was a blur. What I did remember, though, was Yusuke grabbing a water hose, and linking it up to the kitchen sink. He then proceeded to spray everyone and everything in sight and range. We were all jumping around, laughing our rear ends off and trying to avoid the freezing cold water. But, we were having a good time, not to mention destroying Kuwabara's house.
And then it happened. Yusuke aimed the hose right at me, and I didn't have time to dodge the spray of water. I expected the water to feel frigid against my skin, but it didn't. Instead, it stung with a sharp pain as it made contact with me. It felt as if someone was stabbing me in the back with a katana. I yelped, sprang out of the way. But someone pushed me, sending me to the left, and right into Yukina. I knocked her back into the living room, where I heard her scream. That's all I remember before hitting my head on the hard kitchen floor, then everything going black.
And the next morning, I woke up to the smell of blood.

AN: GASP! What happened? Is Yukina okay? What did Kurama do? And what will Hiei do when he finds out?! AH! I'm scaring myself… Okay, people, review and I'll put up the next chapter! And for all you Hiei fans out there, the story will be in his POV in the chapter after the next one. And then it'll probably flip-flop between Hiei and Kurama's POVs.
