Yippee! Chapter three! Hey, I got the entire story up in less than twenty-four hours! That's gotta be a record. And my first completed story, too! Let's party! Anyway, Read and Enjoy!
~#~Chapter Three~#~
Kurama took his time, looking inside every empty warehouse and up every tree in hope to find the little fire demon. Soon, he came upon a familiar building.
/Ah, my school. The chances of Hiei being here are slim to none,/ Kurama shook his head, /Same as the chances of him being anywhere else./
He was about to enter the school when he noticed something. Quite a few of the students were still hanging around campus, and Kurama recognized them as the same people from his dimension.
/Well, it makes sense that if the city is the same, the inhabitants would be the same, too,/ he concluded /I wonder.../
The kitsune was a bit curious to who his counterpart would be. Because it also made sense that if the city was a little different, then the people would be different.
/Too bad I don't have the time to investigate,/ the curious fox said to himself. He took a quick look around the campus: kids eating lunch, a few people playing cards, a group of cheerleaders, but no Hiei.
"Wait a sec," Kurama did a double take. He stood behind a fence so he wouldn't be seen. There was a person with long red hair and green eyes, exactly like his. Except...
"Like, ohmigawd," said Kurama's FEMALE counterpart in a valley girl voice, "He is, like, such a total dweeb."
"You gotta admit, Captain, he's, like, sorta cute," replied a blonde standing next to her. It was apparent that the Kurama from this dimension was captain of the Cheerleading Squad. A boy with oily hair and thick glasses walked up to her and taped her on the shoulder.
"*snort* Ex-excuse me, Sui-chan, but I was wondering if you could study with me after school," the nervous boy asked.
"No way. Like, I have standards, loser," was Kura - er- 'Sui-chan's reply, "You should totally go back to Nerds-ville where you came from."
"Oh, s-sorry," the boy apologized, looking heartbroken. As soon as he trudged away, another boy, a football player, put his arm around Sui-chan's shoulder.
"Hey, babe, you going anywhere tonight?" he smirked.
"Oh, your place if I can get the address," she giggled.
"Ew," Kurama shivered, "I'm most defiantly going to be sick."
He was just about to leave the nauseating sight when he heard something that got his attention.
"I was hopin' we could do something romantic, like go to New Blossom Park," the jock raised his eyebrows.
"Where that junior high dork, Hiei hangs out? Like, no way. It's got loser written all over it," she responded.
/Junior High dork? HIEI?/ Kurama was stunned. /Well, now I know where to go./
~#~#~#~
Kurama was at the rendezvous, waiting for Kuwabara and Yusuke to come. It was almost three-thirty, and he was getting impatient. About ten minutes later, the two showed up eating ice cream.
"You're late, you know," Kurama stated.
"Sorry, but we did get you some ice cream," Yusuke handed over a melting strawberry ice cream cone.
"Thank you," Kurama said as he took it, although he wasn't hungry, "I have some information that-"
"Uh-oh! Hide!" Kuwabara interrupted. He pointed to the Yusuke and Kuwabara they had seen earlier. Kurama and the real Yusuke and Kuwabara quickly hid behind a couple of large benches.
"Geez, we've been doing a lot of hiding, haven't we?" Yusuke noted.
"Shh!" hushed Kurama. The other Yusuke and Kuwabara sat down at the very same bench the three were hiding behind. It was a miracle they weren't noticed.
"Where is that Shrimp? I specifically told him to come here at 3:40," the Yusuke complained, "I just HATE it when people are late."
"Me, too, Boss," agreed Kuwabara sitting next to him.
"Do you ever have any thoughts of your own?" questioned Yusuke.
"No, Boss," Kuwabara replied.
"Good."
Kurama and Yusuke were trying to hold back small bits of laughter. Kuwabara started poking them viciously for two reasons. One: to get them to stop laughing at his expense, and two: to get their attention. He pointed not too far off at.......Hiei? No, not Hiei. Hiei doesn't wear glasses and he usually isn't being pushed around by......Yukina?!? Kurama and Yusuke stared.
"Come ON, Hiei!" Yukina pushed her friend.
"I'm too scared!" Hiei quivered.
"YOU are going to stand up and FIGHT, for once!" Yukina commanded. They stopped and were standing in front of other-dimension Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Shrimp and his itty-bitty girlfriend," Yusuke teased.
"I am not his girlfriend! We're just friends!" Yukina snapped as Hiei hid behind her in fear. The three hiding behind the bench stared at the strange scene, mouthes open.
"Oh, but it's the perfect love story," the other Yusuke stood up and leaned over Yukina, "Two pathetic orphans, hated by everyone, fall in love. Only to be smashed to bits by the two toughest guys around."
"Uh, who's that, Boss?" Kuwabara asked.
"That's US, you nitwit," Yusuke glared at his sidekick.
"We're not hated by everyone, they're too busy hating you!" Yukina yelled in Yusuke's face.
"Oh, was that an insult?" Yusuke growled, "You're going to have to pay for that, little girl."
But before Yusuke could aim a hit, Hiei stepped between them. He was sweeting and shaking and was obviously scared out of his wits. The three behind the bench had to use all their energy to keep from laughing.
"D-d-don't you l-lay a hand on her! " Hiei stuttered pathetically.
"You show 'em!" Yukina cheered him on.
"Oh, so you're finally standing up to us?" smirked Yusuke, "You must be stupider than Kuwabara."
"Yeah!" his lackey agreed, completely missing the insult.
"Well, so what if we hurt your little friend? What're you going to do about it?" Yusuke threatened.
"L-leave her a-alone, o-or else you h-have to face my w-wrath!" Hiei tried his best at intimidating his foe, and completely failing at it. A black shadow quickly flickered on the bench behind Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"No, you'll have to face MY wrath," said a stern, cold voice. The two bullies whirled around and looked up to find themselves face to face with-
"HIEI!" Yusuke jumped up from behind the bench, relieved at finally finding his companion.
"Baka detective!" the black-clad Hiei growled.
"HOLY FREAKIN CRAP!" cried the Yusuke who was bullying Hiei, "IT'S ME! AND HIM! 'Cept he's scary looking!!"
"And him," Kuwabara stood up from behind the bench and pointed to his double.
"Weird, if I'm there, then who am I?" questioned the other Kuwabara, not getting the concept.
"You can just ignore me. I'll sit back and relax," Kurama said while sitting on the bench. The Hiei wearing glasses could do nothing but gape at the strange scene in front of him.
"Who-How-WHAT?" was all Yukina could say.
"Listen, I'm not going to be fooled by smoke and mirrors. This is obviously a trick," the other-dimension Yusuke stated.
"You think I'm kidding?" the Hiei standing on the bench sneered. He picked up the non-believer by the collar. Yukina jumped up and down with excitement.
"YOU GO, OTHER HIEI!" she cheered, "Kick his puny ass!!"
The Rekai Tentai stopped whatever they were doing and gawked at Yukina. This seemed very unlike her.
"W-who are you people, exactly?" the nerdy Hiei asked.
"It doesn't matter who we are," Hiei stated as he threw Yusuke to the ground, "But I want to say one thing. You-" he jabbed a finger at his duplicate, "-are pathetic. I've seen bunnies with more courage than you."
"Yeah, I know it sounds cruel, but he has a point," the normal Yusuke nodded.
Suddenly, the glasses-wearing Hiei became stern.
/I've had people tell me I'm a loser all my life,/ he reminded himself, /but I should listen to......myself. I'm gonna be tough./ He looked down at the very much confused Yusuke lying on the ground. Without warning, he gave him a swift kick to his side, sending him rolling several feet.
"Boss!" other-dimension Kuwabara yelled as he ran next to other-dimension Yusuke, "You alright?"
"Get OFF of me, Fool!" Yusuke said, "I don't know what's the deal with you, Shrimp, but you're gonna pay."
No-longer-nerdy Hiei just glared a classic Hiei glare.
"Hey, hey, don't take all the fun," the real Yusuke grinned, "These guys are ruining our good name."
"Wanna pound them, Urameshi?" asked the real Kuwabara, cracking his knuckles.
"Sounds like fun," the real Yusuke snickered evilly, "Let's go." But before they could start the beating, the other-dimension Yusuke and Kuwabara ran far, far away.
"WOW! You guys are SOOO cool!" Yukina hugged the black-clad Hiei. He blushed ever so s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y.
/She is not Yukina, she is not Yukina, she is NOT Yukina,/ he chanted to himself.
"Well, thank you, whoever you are," the other-dimension Hiei said, "Come on, Yukina, let's go get some ice cream."
"Yay!" she chirped as they waved goodbye.
"Well that was.....interesting," Kurama said, having not spoken up in a while.
"It's ABOUT TIME you showed up," Hiei glared at the others, "I have been stuck here for too long. That portal was apparently one way."
"How'd you know it was a portal?" Kuwabara asked stupidly.
"Baka. It was obvious," Hiei sneered.
"Well, did you at least enjoy your one week vacation?" Yusuke asked.
"Hn. Some of it was interesting," he slowly smiled, "The most amusing part was Kurama's counterpart."
"Huh?" Yusuke and Kuwabara questioned at the same time.
"You saw? Well, there is no reason to even discuss it," Kurama said firmly, "Let's take leave. I have studying."
"Well, speak of the devil," Hiei laughed evilly as he pointed to the edge of the park. Two people were walking towards them.
"Like, I don't know how you talked me into coming here," Kurama's valley-girl-cheerleader-total-prep counterpart groaned.
"Babe, I told you, this place is NICE, if you get what I'm saying," the jock that Kurama had seen earlier replied.
/Wait-is that?/ Kurama got a closer look at his double's boyfriend.
"Koenma?!" Kurama gasped. Yes, apparently she hooked up with teenage Koenma's counterpart. Kurama shook his head in embarrassment. He looked down and finally took notice of Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were laughing so hard their faces had turned blood-red.
"HAHAHA!! OH WOW, I SO NEED A CAMERA RIGHT NOW!" Yusuke laughed insanely.
"BWHA! OH, I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!" Kuwabara gasped between laughs, "MY SPLEEN! IT PAINS!"
Hiei was even chuckling a bit a Kurama's expense.
"I said, let's GO!" Kurama commanded, his eye's glinting gold and a wisp of his hair turning white.
"Okay, okay," Yusuke gasped, still holding back fits of laughter, "Here, everyone (ha ha) got their remote thingies? Oh (he he), here's yours Hiei. Just aim (*snicker*) and push the button I guess. (a girl! ha!)."
The boys followed the directions, and, making sure not to be seen by Sui-chan and other-dimension Koenma, entered the portal they created. It immediately closed behind them, and they instantly found themselves standing outside Genkai's temple.
"Ah, dimension sweet dimension!" Yusuke sighed. Botan peeked out from the back door of the temple and waved happily.
"Oh, great! You're back!" she said cheerfully, "Is Koenma-sama with you?"
"Huh? No, why would he be?" Kuwabara asked.
"Well, several reasons," Botan said, "First off, he was getting impatient, so he decided to go in the portal and fetch you. Secondly, he did some more research and found out you four have counterparts in that dimension, and he thought it would be awkward if you met up with them."
"Yes, but he also has a counterpart," Kurama told her.
"Oh, no he doesn't!" contradicted Botan, "Since he works in Rekai, there would be no counterpart for him in the Human World part of that dimension."
"But...that....means...." Kurama twitched. The three other boys looked at each other, and then suddenly broke into fits of hysterical laughter. Even Hiei couldn't help himself.
"That's just wrong," Kurama shook his head.
~THE END~
It's over! Happy now? I know that was a weird ending.
Kurama: You're telling me???
Me: *giggle snort* Sorry, Kurama, I couldn't help it. Anywoo, I'd just like to say one thing: THANK YOU WEBSTER DOT COM! You're a tool every fanfic writer should use.
