Chapter Two:
A Vitally Important Journey to...the Supermarket?!!
A/N Heeeeeeeeeeeere weeeee goooooooo!!!!
A teeny recap from the last chapter, (just in case you forgot!):
As Yusuke and Kuwabara approached the "shack" they looked around to make sure that no one was watching, and ignoring the hobo, slipped inside. They stepped through the doorway into a small room that was perfectly normal except that it was completely devoid of any furniture or decoration, oh, and of course there was also the swirling vortex in the middle of the floor. (A/C Not that that was very noticeable at all. ^.^) Then they looked at each other, took a deep breath, and jumped into the portal. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Crash. They landed in the middle of what Yusuke had first described as, "the dead people stock exchange". Ogres rushed frantically back and forth around them; papers flying everywhere, most of them not even noticing that Yusuke and Kuwabara had just dropped down from the ceiling. Kuwabara had his large, rectangular head lodged into a computer screen and was fumbling around blindly, knocking whatever he touched over. Yusuke had just disrupted a huge pile of "important looking documents" and was now buried under them.
"Damn it," Yusuke muttered, he was lying face down in the pile and everything around him was in disarray except of course for his dark hair, thanks to whatever miracle junk he put in it. Kuwabara still had the computer monitor attached to his head and was trying valiantly to yank it off, but the frame was such a snug fit that it simply refused to budge. Kuwabara formed his spirit sword; causing the few ogres that had noticed them to back away, and started to saw at the stubborn monitor, swearing under his breath.
Yusuke stood slowly, trying to look like nothing unusual had happened, (A/C Yeah, he falls through random ceilings all the time, it's no big.) while at the same time he was attempting to not cause any more damage. He came to the doors of Koenma's office and was about to knock, when a sudden shout was heard, followed by a crash.
George, the blue ogre, ran out half crying, half screaming; shouting something about how "Koenma-sir" had gone mad. (A/C And yes his name is George!) Yusuke just stood there blinking, and had just about convinced himself that it had all been a hallucination and he really hadn't seen George run out of Koenma's office covered in silly string and streamers, when a whipped-cream enveloped Botan burst through the doors. She grabbed Kuwabara (who had finally removed the computer screen from his head, and accidentally flung it out the window), and Yusuke by the collars of their jumpsuits, and literally dragged them into Koenma's office, slamming the door behind them.
"Look at him!" she cried hysterically, pointing at Koenma, who was literally bouncing off the walls, (the floor, the ceiling, and anything else he came into contact with. If you are a "little god", you probably have this power anyway.) He was laughing chaotically as he sprang from surface to surface and there were the remains of what looked like a vase scattered on the floor. Watching this, Botan turned a shade of light pink, and Yusuke and Kuwabara promptly sweat-dropped. (A/C That is now a verb; to sweat-drop, I sweat-drop, you sweat-drop, he/she sweat-drops, etc.) It was then that Yusuke noticed that Kurama and Hiei were already present, Kurama looking slightly amused and Hiei expressionless. Yusuke nudged Kuwabara; who was staring at Koenma with a look of absolute horror on his face, knocking him out of his stupor and they walked over to where Kurama and Hiei were standing.
"What's going on?" Yusuke inquired.
"I'm not quite sure, but it has been going on for a while now," Kurama replied.
"So, what's the emergency?" Kuwabara asked stupidly, looking confused. (A/C Err.Isn't that how he normally looks?!)
"I don't know! What could possibly be wrong with this scene?!" Yusuke said sarcastically, gesturing towards the still bouncing Koenma, who was now leaving huge dents in the walls and everything else he hit. Yusuke then asked, "Umm.Botan.What the hell are we supposed to do?!"
"I don't know! Stop him, detain him, stun him for all I care! Just do something!" Botan shouted, clearly at the end of her rope. (A/C And she always seemed so cheerful, too.)
Koenma stopped bouncing and bounded up to Yusuke, "Get more, more, more, get more!" he sniggered, appearing to be somewhat drunk.
"Erm.more what?!!" Yusuke asked, clearly clueless as to what to do with a drunken god.
"Good stuff!" Koenma stated happily, holding out an empty bottle.
"Let me see that," Kuwabara said, reaching for the bottle.
"No! Mine!" Koenma shouted and then he bit Kuwabara's hand.
"Oww! He bit me! The little brat bit me!" He whimpered.
"Well that was obvious, or do you scream like a girl all the time?" Yusuke asked the screeching redhead.
"Look!" Kuwabara exclaimed, "I'm bleeding! I'm bleeeeeeeeeeeding!"
"Well, if you don't let us see the bottle, we don't know what was in it, and if we don't know what was in it then we can't get you more," Kurama said sensibly.
"Oh, okiday!" Koenma said while enjoying Kuwabara's anguish. He happily handed over the bottle.
"Pure caffeine," Kurama said reading the label of the clear, glass bottle.
"Give me that," Yusuke said taking the bottle from Kurama, apparently not worried about being bitten.
"Caffeine, caffeine, caffeine!" Koenma sang. "Get me more caffeine!"
"Oh shit," Yusuke said, taking a closer look at the bottle. There was a warning label on the back of it. The warning said:
Warning:
Not intended to be given to 'small gods'
under any circumstances. May have
disastrous results such as fire, flood,
chaos, property damage, and the
Apocalypse...
"What?" Everyone asked.
"It says, 'not intended to be given to small gods under any circumstances." Yusuke replied. If he had only finished reading the rest of the warning label it would have said: .This warning also applies to demons, humans with "supernatural powers", and all otherworldly beings.
"Well there is no helping it now," Botan said shrugging, looking exhausted, she had finally been able to remove all of the whipped-cream from her person.
"So what are we supposed to do?"
"Get more caffeine!" Koenma interrupted.
"As much as I hate to say this, but Koenma, being the Prince of Spirit World, does get to order people-namely you-around. So.get him more caffeine." Botan said sighing in defeat. Shouts of, 'Yay! I'm gonna get more caffeine!' could be heard.
"Okay," Yusuke said rubbing his neck. "But it's gonna be hard to find, that stuff is really rare." he continued, winking at Botan.
"Really! That's too bad." she said, her face lighting up.
"No it's not! Caffeine is in everything! Especially, Mt. Dew!" Kuwabara interjected. Yusuke promptly stomped on his foot. "Hey what'd you do that for?! Oh.oops."
"Kuwabara, you idiot!" Botan and Yusuke shouted simultaneously at him. (A/C What an understatement.)
"Mt. Dew! Mt. Dew! Get me Mt. Dew! Mt. Deeeeeeewwww!!!" Koenma yelled.
"Great, just great. Thanks a lot Kuwabara." Yusuke said.
"I'm guessing that you would like us to go along and assist on this.'mission'." Kurama said.
"Yes, would you? I need someone to make sure that they don't screw up."
"Hey! We won't screw up-" Yusuke began.
"Just to be safe I had better go along, too. Let's go," Botan said pushing them all out the door. "Bye Prince Koenma, we'll be back soon!"
"Whee! Caffeine!" was the only response that she got.
"I actually just needed to get out of there. Do you know how hard it is to get whipped-cream out of your hair?" Botan asked once they were out of Koenma's range of hearing. Then looking at Yusuke's perfect hair she said, "No, probably not." (A/C Whoo! ^_^")
On their way towards the portal that would transport them back to the Human World, they saw George who was huddled in a corner muttering to himself.
"George, you watch Koenma while we're gone," Botan said as they passed. George got up and ran screaming in the opposite direction.
"Oh well, Koenma will be fine by himself," she said shrugging, but she sounded uncertain. (A/C Hopeful thinking, yes?)
Meanwhile, Kuwabara was trying to piece everything together. Botan had called them to Spirit World in order to tell them about an emergency, and now they were going to get Koenma Mt. Dew and it took five people to go get it? Whoosh, that went way over his head!
Sighing, Kuwabara just followed everyone else. "Urameshi.?" he asked after a little while.
"What?" Yusuke answered as they exited the Gates of Judgment.
".What are we doing again?" the dazed, ginger haired, teenager asked.
Yusuke blinked, and looked around the outside of the Gates, until he spotted a swirling void, the re-entry to the Human World.
"You heard Koenma, right?"
Kuwabara nodded slowly, "Yeah.?"
"Well, we've got to get him Mt. Dew," the raven (A/C Heh.^.^" Ravynne. Whee! Wordplay.) haired boy explained.
"Hurry up you two! Hiei and Kurama have already gone through!" Botan shouted and then she jumped into the portal herself.
Yusuke walked up to the portal and jumped in as if it was as normal as jumping into a swimming pool.
Kuwabara followed, but more slowly, acting as if the entry to the Human World was going to bite him like Koenma had. Nevertheless, he jumped in after Yusuke, whispering, "Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me."
They both landed rather gently, just missing Botan, who was to busy shying away from the holographic hobo like he was dangerous to notice. Yusuke, by now used to him just waved and then walked out of the building that housed the portal between Spirit World and the Human World. Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Botan followed, Botan a little too quickly to pass as calm.
"And you're supposed to be the Grim Reaper," Yusuke muttered under his breath, causing Botan to blush and smack him. (A/C ^_^" Oi.)
"So where do we go from here?" Hiei, who had been silent up to this point asked.
"I guess we go to the store to buy Mt. Dew," Yusuke replied. "The nearest one is the supermarket four blocks from here."
"Okay then let's go," Botan said.
As they walked the four blocks to the store they didn't have any problem with the crowds in the streets. It seemed like people went out of their way to avoid them, one guy even ran into a streetlight in his effort to escape their path. (A/C O.O"") They probably did look like a strange group, a blue haired female with an oar, the best fighter of Sarayashiki Junior High, Kuwabara (A/C.uh.yeah, who speaks for himself), not to mention Hiei and Kurama. (A/C Ravynne- Me? I'd love to run into them on the street, but of course I am the one writing this fic so that explains that. Mia-Me too! Me too! ^.^" Kyaaa! Demondemondemonde- Ravynne- *thwack* -.-")
They had just gotten inside the store when all of a sudden there was a bright flash of light and a puff of pink and green polka-dotted smoke. (A/C I'm not sure how it could possibly polka-dotted, but it is. So leave me alone!) As the smoke dissipated Yusuke could see a form appearing and when the smoke finally cleared it revealed a caffeinated but regal looking teenager with a blue pacifier and 'Jr' tattooed on his forehead. "Koenma?!!" they all cried in unison. "How'd you get here?" Botan asked. Koenma placed his hands on his hips and then stated imperiously, "I am King of the cotton balls, I can do anything!" Botan sighed; apparently Koenma was still caffeine high, everyone else laughed uneasily and sweat-dropped. "Okay, so what are you doing here 'King Koenma'?" Hiei asked. "Well, I decided to come and make sure that you guys didn't mess up, I want regular Mt. Dew, none of this diet crap. Plus you were taking to long and I got bored waiting for you," he replied pouting slightly.
"Too long?! We've only been gone for fifteen minutes!" Yusuke shouted. "Oh.Oh well!" Koenma said all smiles once again. "What are you waiting for? Let's go get my Mt. Dew!"
There was a huge collective sigh and then they went to go get Koenma his Mt. Dew. They got to where all the soda was and located the fizzy caffeinated liquid. Then Koenma, his eyes getting wider exclaimed, "I want all of it!" Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama collected the Mt. Dew while Botan and Kuwabara retrieved carts to put it all in, Koenma just stood off to the side shaking in anticipation and delight. When they finished they had collected every single can, bottle, and case of Mt. Dew that the store had.
On their way out of the supermarket one of the cashiers stopped them, "Hey, you have to pay for that! You can't just leave!" Hiei, seeing his chance to actually do something in this 'mission', took out his katana and smiled threateningly, causing the cashier to back away. "N-never m-mind you can go, j-just take it," he stammered, terrified.
"That's what I thought," Hiei stated smugly. Just then Koenma broke in, "What?!! They dare try to prevent the great Koenma, King of the Cotton balls of Doom from getting his royal supply of Mt. Dew?!!! They shall pay with their miserable lives!" As he was shouting the walls of the supermarket started to shake and food began toppling from the shelves.
"I'd run if I were you," Kurama said looking at the petrified cashier, who nodded and fled. Not a second later all of the other customers in the store dropped everything and followed his example.
"Let's leave now," Koenma said calmly, walking out of the still trembling store. Yusuke and the others just shrugged their shoulders and followed him out, pushing the carts full of Mt. Dew. When they had gotten about fifty yards away from the store Koenma paused and looked at it, the store immediately burst into flames. Koenma then turned around and continued on his way.
"Are you sure we're allowed to take these carts?" Kuwabara asked tentatively. "Well it's not like they're going to use them anymore," Yusuke responded looking back at the burning building.
"Oh, yeah," Kuwabara mumbled.
"That was fun, let's do it again!" Koenma piped up, apparently back to his hyper caffeinated state. (A/C Mood swings much?) No one said anything. "Only this time let's go to a bigger store," he continued, as if everyone in the group had had something to do with the total destruction of the supermarket. "Like the biggest store in Japan! Yeah! I wanna go to the biggest supermarket in Japan!" he exclaimed.
"That's twelve miles away!" Yusuke hollered. "So?" Koenma asked innocently, his eyes wide. There was another huge collective sigh and they set off for the supermarket.
"Why can't we take the train or something?" Kuwabara complained after about forty minutes of walking. "Do you actually think that they would allow this much Mt. Dew on a train?" Botan asked incredulously, gesturing towards the fifteen full shopping carts trailing behind them. She had some how managed to rig them so that they moved on their own and all followed the lead cart which was attached to her oar. Botan had also programmed her oar so that it moved by itself and followed her, apparently she couldn't ride it while it was leading the carts. "Oh right, I kinda forgot about those," Botan just rolled her eyes, sighed, and kept walking. It was then that Yusuke picked up a bottle of Mt. Dew, "I still don't understand why caffeine had the affect that it did on Koenma. I mean humans eat food with caffeine in it basically everyday. Why would it affect 'small gods' any differently than humans?" "Don't ask me, I don't understand it any better than you do," Botan said. "I guess it doesn't really matter anymore," Yusuke replied placing the Mt. Dew bottle back in the cart, nearly hitting Koenma with it in the process. He had some how managed to cram himself into the overflowing cart and was sitting, grinning, buried up to his neck in bottles of Mt. Dew.
"Hey, how come he gets to ride?!" Kuwabara asked, half joking. "Kuwabara, shut up." (A/C Wheeeee...)
So there they were on their way to the largest supermarket in Japan at the whim of the caffeine high, Prince of Spirit World (A/C Or should I say the King of the Cotton balls of Doom ^_^"), and everything was going fine, that is, it was until they got thirsty. A/N Woot! Cliffhanger!!! But it is obvious what is going to happen next. Isn't it? If it isn't then...Where have you been the last two chapters??!!!!! ^_^ Love to everyone that has reviewed!

A teeny recap from the last chapter, (just in case you forgot!):
As Yusuke and Kuwabara approached the "shack" they looked around to make sure that no one was watching, and ignoring the hobo, slipped inside. They stepped through the doorway into a small room that was perfectly normal except that it was completely devoid of any furniture or decoration, oh, and of course there was also the swirling vortex in the middle of the floor.

"Damn it," Yusuke muttered, he was lying face down in the pile and everything around him was in disarray except of course for his dark hair, thanks to whatever miracle junk he put in it. Kuwabara still had the computer monitor attached to his head and was trying valiantly to yank it off, but the frame was such a snug fit that it simply refused to budge. Kuwabara formed his spirit sword; causing the few ogres that had noticed them to back away, and started to saw at the stubborn monitor, swearing under his breath.

I wanna go to the biggest supermarket in Japan!" he exclaimed.

Botan had also programmed her oar so that it moved by itself and followed her, apparently she couldn't ride it while it was leading the carts. "Oh right, I kinda forgot about those," Botan just rolled her eyes, sighed, and kept walking. It was then that Yusuke picked up a bottle of Mt. Dew, "I still don't understand why caffeine had the affect that it did on Koenma. I mean humans eat food with caffeine in it basically everyday. Why would it affect 'small gods' any differently than humans?" "Don't ask me, I don't understand it any better than you do," Botan said. "I guess it doesn't really matter anymore," Yusuke replied placing the Mt. Dew bottle back in the cart, nearly hitting Koenma with it in the process. He had some how managed to cram himself into the overflowing cart and was sitting, grinning, buried up to his neck in bottles of Mt. Dew.
"Hey, how come he gets to ride?!" Kuwabara asked, half joking. "Kuwabara, shut up." (A/C Wheeeee...)
So there they were on their way to the largest supermarket in Japan at the whim of the caffeine high, Prince of Spirit World (A/C Or should I say the King of the Cotton balls of Doom ^_^"), and everything was going fine, that is, it was until they got thirsty. A/N Woot! Cliffhanger!!! But it is obvious what is going to happen next. Isn't it? If it isn't then...Where have you been the last two chapters??!!!!! ^_^ Love to everyone that has reviewed!
Ja ne!
