Chapter 2: The great search begins! Poor Hiei!
Yusuke and the PMSing Yoko Kurama roamed the city streets in search of their..er, friends, for lack of a better word. They had been searching aimlessly for about two hours now. Humans frequently stopped in their tracks, dropped whatever they were carrying, pointing and proclaiming, "By God, it's the Apocalypse!" Yusuke and Kurama are so misunderstood.
Hiei, meanwhile, was walking along the streets as well. Except, he was on a different mission: Find Yukina and explain everything, then find Kuwabara, Kurama, and Yusuke to kill them slowly. And all this was to be done by sundown, or else he'd kill everyone in a hundred mile radius.
He growled. If he didn't find her soon, then he'd start having to..ask people if they'd seen her. Hiei wasn't a people person, but he figured he'd might as well. After he got the information, he'd probably set the human aflame.
So, Hiei grabbed the closest one he could find, which happened to be a man who was rather...rotund. Hiei pulled him by the shoulders away from the crowd, which was a hard task to do, for Hiei couldn't hold a good grip. He looked into the frightened ningen's eyes and dug out a random picture from his pocket. "Where can I find this?" he asked rapidly.
The man blinked. "I'm sorry! I did nothing! I never stole a thing in my life!"
"You lie, pathetic human!" Hiei claimed.
The man screamed and looked at the picture. He blinked a few times and turned his head to look at it at different angles. "Kid, I can't help you find your dog, or whatever it is! I'm sorry!"
Hiei looked at the picture and screamed again. He shoved it back into his pocket and got out another picture, this time sure it was Yukina. He held out in front of him. "There! This is someone I'm looking for! Now give me the time you saw her and the direction she was going or feel my wrath!"
The human panicked. "Look, kid I'm sorry! I haven't seen your girlfriend!"
Hiei's eyebrow twitched. "You did NOT just say that!"
He didn't give the human much time to react as he set him on fire. He dropped the flaming human, and started to walk away, but turned around. The body was still burning, and Hiei eyed a stick along the road. He smirked and grabbed it. He reached beneath his cloak, to pull out...a bag of marshmallows.
Kuwabara, by this time, was running through the streets with his kitty barely hanging onto his shoulder. See? I'm not mean! His kitty was with him the whole time! How dare you doubt me!
Anyways, Kuwabara was on a desperate search for Hiei. He was going to pound the short one once he saw him, if he could. People would stop and stare, and nudge each other asking, "Hey, isn't that that guy who was in the paper?"
Kuwabara ran up to one of the questioning people and shouted, eyes watering, "You don't know me! You don't know me! No one knows me!"
Eikichi meowed, and Kuwabara stroked her. "No one, except for you, I'm sorry." He then went on his delusional, twisted way.
Elsewhere, Yusuke kicked a can in frustration. "Damn! Where are they?! You don't think Kuwabara died, do you?"
Kurama scoffed. "Do I care if Kuwabara died? No, I don't really."
"Man, someone's PMSing.." Yusuke mumbled, earning a glare from Kurama.
They went along for a few minutes, when Kurama was stopped by something small. His first guess was Hiei, but realized that it was actually too small to be the little demon. Huh.
Kurama jerked around to see a little girl, looking four or five years old, holding some blue cotton candy in one arm while her thumb was in her mouth. She was drooling slightly as she looked the tall, silver-haired man up and down. A rabid fangirl in training, no doubt.
Kurama scowled. "Can I help you?"
"Are you Toga-man?" the little girl asked.
Yusuke stifled a laugh as Kurama sighed deeply and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, held it in for awhile and finally said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're mistaken."
The girl shook her head. "Nuh-uh! I saw you on TV! You walk around with a sheet around you and sing happy songs. Don't lie!"
"I'm not your fantasy super-hero, kid! Now go away, or I'll make your life a hell in itself!"
Even Yusuke was taken aback at Kurama's statement. The child didn't seem to be phased, however. "Why does everyone always say that to me?" she mumbled to herself.
Yusuke looked around. "Hey, kid, where's your mom?"
She shrugged. "I dunno. She said she'd be right back, and went into the store, but then this little boy went in there, and people were screaming! I ran away afore he could catch me!"
Kurama and Yusuke eyed each other knowingly. "What did he look like?" Yusuke questioned.
"He was really short, had black hair that poofed up, and he looked like he was about to esplode, cuz he was pissed off!" she shouted rather loudly.
Kurama quickly covered her mouth. "Don't go saying things like that! People will cast you out and make you eat shoes!"
Yusuke blinked. "Where did you hear that?"
Kurama stood straight, and looked up at the sky, swaying innocently. "Oh, you could say from experience..."
Yusuke nodded, and turned his attention back to the girl. "Now, which store did he go in?"
"The Piggly Wiggly", she said, as-a-matter-of-factly.
Yusuke shuddered. "I...can't go in there", he said quietly.
"Why's that?" Kurama asked, eyebrow quirked.
"I just..won't set foot in there. Hiei's got balls for going in there alone."
Kurama groaned. "We're eating up time here. Let's just go and see if anyone's dead yet", he said, rather excitedly.
Yusuke nodded, and pulled the little girl by the arm as they ran to the horrible, horrible facility for distributing groceries.
~~~~~
Hiei desperately walked through the aisles, seeking food. He had grown rather hungry, and was interrupted during his snack by a shoe thrown at him from above. Then, the dogs came, and chased him to this...Piggly Wiggly.
Hiei looked down in his arms to realize that he was still holding the shoe that had hurt him so. He blinked a bit, and soon dropped the shoe, as he stood in front of the biggest thing he had ever seen.
A shrine to his marshmallows had been set up.
He chuckled in delight as he saw this huge tower of marshmallows standing over him. He had finally found it: the motherload of all marshy-mallow-y- goodness. He had to get it! He frantically dug into his pockets in search of money, but found none.
It was then he had an idea. And this idea...was great.
Oh, Hiei would have his marshmallows.
He looked around slyly. He then found a worker there, and grabbed him. The teenager turned around, and was met by a fire punch that knocked him out cold. Hiei smirked, and grabbed another passing worker. This was it. Time for an act that Hiei would soon regret.
"Oh dear God! Look, minion, at the laziness of your fellow worker! I was only walking on my way to the....uh..meat place--"
"Oh, the deli?" the worker offered.
"Yes! And I was about to turn the corner, when he just...plop and fell in front of me. And look at him! He's sound asleep! Oh, the humanity!"
The perturbed employee only blinked at the hysterical little boy in front of him. "Uh, sir, please calm down!"
Hiei narrowed his eyes at him. "You cruel people! Is this how all your employees treat customers?! I could have tripped right into that marshmallow pyramid! You should all be ashamed!!"
"Uh, kid, I really am sorry. I think that's a narcoleptic one! But, you need to calm down!"
Hiei went on protesting against the store's carelessness, as a crowd formed around him, clapping after every bold statement. It just so happened that Yukina was shopping in the store at this time, and grew curious at the crowd. So, Yukina walked over to see Hiei standing there, holding a bag of....marshmallows?
She saw him raise his fist at the worker about to punch him, and gasped. Hiei was about an inch away from knocking this man's brains out, until his fist was grabbed by someone whom he really didn't want to see at the moment.
His expression softened a bit. "Oh, uhh..hello, Yukina", he managed.
She glared at him. "What do you think you're doing, Hiei?!" she demanded.
"Don't worry about it, it's nothing that concerns you", he told her.
"It does concern me! This is my brother!!"
~ End Chapter 2! ~
Cliffhanger! Yukina believes this human is her long lost brother. How will Hiei react? And what'll happen when Kurama and Yusuke arrive? And Kuwabara? Where the hell'd he go anyway?
