Chapter 7
When Tomatoes Explode
Hiei woke from his nightmare with a scream. "PEANUT!"
With a sob, the little fire demon hunched himself over his knees, shaking with sorrow and continuously moaning "peanut" in his dream induced sadness.
Kurama sluggishly pulled himself from his comfortable bed and stumbled his way across the two feet of open space between their beds. Tripping over some unseen and non-existing obstacle, Kurama hit the floor of the cave with an "oomph!" and a cheerful array of words not printable here.
"What happened this time?" He asked in the comforting, half asleep and pain filled way he had been using for the past week. Hiei's dreams about the dying giant peanut mystified him, he wasn't even sure Hiei knew what a peanut was. Heck, from what he had gathered, the peanut had a tail that kept getting bitten off by a Ningen, ears that bled rose petals and a bright red shell.
Lifting his face to look at his Mama, Hiei hiccoughed and started crying anew.
"The mean Youkai *sniffle* shot it with a *whimper* bright stick," the baby brokenly explained. "Mr. Peanut didn't even have a chance!" Hiei whimpered and moaned out one more time: "P-pea...nut..."
Kurama sighed and perched himself on the edge of Hiei's nest. He patiently untangled his baby from the silk blanket, muttering obscenities under his breath. Then he calmly plucked the stuffed bunny, its floppy ears hanging on for dear life, from the cave floor. Placing the newly wrapped and blue-faced Hiei and Mr. Fuzzy-Tail in his lap, he proceeded to rock gently.
"Ow, ow, ow," Hiei gasped, trying to bring air into his small, jolting frame. Who knew that blankets could be used for torture? Maybe Mama was trying to scare the dream away...
After Hiei had been successfully calmed (read: lost consciousness), Kurama decided going back to sleep at that point would be more of a nuisance then a help. So, with a brat-pack on his back he left the cave to watch as the sun's first rays snuck over the distant hills. With a stretch and a yawn the Youko made his way towards his fruit orchards.
Just the day before, a few strange seeds had blown into his territory and he was eager to know what they contained. Adjusting Hiei's unconscious form - cocooned in vines on his back - and patting the seeds kept safely in his hair the Youko quickened his pace with an anticipatory smile.
Finally he arrived and pulled one of the mystery seeds from his hair.
Flicking the seed into the dewy earth, the plant controlling Spirit Fox sent his energy forth for the seed to bloom. He then watched gleefully as it sprouted. A frown appeared a moment later however, when no fruit bearing tree, or deadly plant emerged. Instead it was a tangle of limp vines and dull leaves. Seconds later many green, yellowish and red round *things* appeared, obviously the fruit of the plant.
"I suppose I could use it as some sort of strangler," Kurama mused, bending down to pull one of the squishy red things from the mess of green in the dirt.
A squirm on his back indicated Hiei had once again awoken. The little fire starting demon quickly burned away the vines that trapped him in the air and darted around to see the new plant.
"What's that, Mama?" Hiei asked, poking at the plant with a long stick. When nothing happened to him the baby moved closer and plucked one of the green fruits. He sniffed it carefully, as he had been taught, and carefully took a tiny nibble. Tasting nothing wrong, he took a much larger bite.
"EWWIE!" Hiei spat out the apparently foul tasting food and proceeded to set the entire plant on fire. The baby scrunched up his face in distaste, rubbing at his tongue with his shirt sleeve, trying to get rid of the taste.
He was, however, fast enough to get away from the plants next move.
"POP! POP! POP! POP! MAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAA!! POPOPOPOPOP!"
This is the sound of mysterious water based fruits exploding due to over exposure to heat, and of Hiei shrieking in terror. Let's take a recap, shall we?
After Hiei had set the plant on fire, approximately ten point three-eight-six seconds later an explosion of hot, sticky and foul smelling fruit made its way onto Kurama's previously white tunic. Hiei however, screaming like only he could, managed to avoid the blast by running as fast as he could (read: magically disappearing) to hide behind Kurama's knees.
Thus, the popping, and the screaming are explained.
A small spiked head peeked out from behind the Youko's knees, red eyes wider then normal due to fear and amazement.
"Wow..."
And thus, Hiei discovered that when certain things are introduced to heat, they explode in a big sticky mess.
Ten minutes later, Kurama was willing to bet that steam was billowing out of, not only his ears, but also his nose, mouth, and eye-sockets. The reason for this anger was very simple.
SPLAT!
Giggle, giggle.
POP!
Giggle, giggle.
FOOOOM!
Giggle, gig- "uh?" SPLAT "WAHHH!"
It was Hiei. Playing fire bomber. With Kurama's new plants. Luckily, the Youko had found a use for the one red fruit he had managed to save from the first plant to meet its fiery doom.
Throwing food at Hiei turned out to be an unbelievably satisfying relaxant.
"WAHHH!"
Whistling cheerfully, Kurama grabbed Hiei's sticky hand and proceeded to drag the crying/sulking/flaming child to the infamous stream of doom for yet another bath.
"No! Mama, I wanna PLAY!"
Kurama: WOOHOO! I got to throw something at Hiei.
Hiei: *growls*
Kurama: Serves you right for destroying my plants!
Hiei: ^__^ But it was fun!
Kurama: *growls*
Next time! Where did all these Yoko's come from?
