Go Fish!
Chapter 2: A Brief Rest
When we last saw our heroes, Kurama had just won yet another game of Go Fish when Hiei barged into the room, talking nonsense and generally acting, well...really drunk.
Hiei took another gulp of sake. "Hic!"
"Uh, what's up with the midget?" Kuwabara asked, clueless as usual.
"Duh, he's drunk, you ignoramus." replied Yusuke, annoyed.
"Oh."
"What I want to know is why he's drunk," Kurama mused. "I didn't know he even liked sake."
"Oh, who CARES?" exclaimed Yusuke. "I wanna know what we can do about it!"
"Does it really matter that much?" inquired Kuwabara.
"Yes, it 'matters that much'!" Yusuke screamed in reply. "There's an incredibly powerful, drunken demon in my house, and we have to get him sober again before he, I-don't-know...BLOWS IT UP or something!"
"Ok, ok!" Alarmed, Kuwabara backed away from the angred Spirit Detective, hands in front of him in defense.
"Grrr... Moron..."
"Hey, great party Yuthuke!" Hiei remarked suddenly, his speech slurring slightly.
"Now his voice is goin' all weird," observed Kuwabara.
"Duh." said Yusuke. "Hn...it sounds like he's got a lisp."
Hiei kept bouncing on Yusuke's bed, sake splashing out of his jug and all over the bed.
"Oh that's just lovely!" yelled Yusuke. "Now I've got sake all over my bed!"
"So," Kurama began. "What do you guys think we-"
He was interrupted -- for the second time -- as Hiei lost his balance, went flying off the bed, and crashed into Yusuke's desk, getting knocked unconscious in the process.
"Well, that solves that problem," remarked Kurama.
"Uh, well I guess we don't have to worry about him anymore," said Kuwabara.
"Maybe," replied Yusuke. "But just to be sure..."
Yusuke tossed Hiei into his closet, locked it, and shoved his desk over to prevent the door from opening.
"There!" he exclaimed triumphantly.
"I don't know if that would hold him long once he awakens," Kurama cautioned. "but it will do for now."
Hehe," Yusuke snickered. "He's gonna have one helluva hangover when he wakes up."
"I think I will be leaving now," Kurama said. "Hiei should be out for a good while yet. I'll come by later today."
"Yeah, whatever," muttered Yusuke. "See ya, Kurama."
Kurama carefully stepped through the huge hole in the wall formerly known as Yusuke's door, walked down the hall, and exited the house.
After Kurama left, Yusuke turned and glared at Kuwabara. "Well?" he asked.
"'Well' what?"
"'Well, aren't you going to leave now too?' This ain't a hotel y'know!" he said.
"Too tired..." Kuwabara replied, yawning. "It's a quarter 'til five, can't I sleep here?"
"Oh fine," grumbled Yusuke. "But you have to clean up my bed."
"Okay.."
Kuwabara went into the kitchen, came back with an armload of paper towels, dish towels, various assorted cleaning products, etc., and somehow, a maid apron, ("Freak..." Yusuke muttered in the background.), put on the apron and began cleaning up the spilled sake. After about 15 minutes, he finished cleaning up the last of it.
"Urgh...I think that's all of it. Can I sleep now? It's 5:15!"
"Yeah, fine," Yusuke said.
"Finally! Sleep!" Kuwabara collapsed onto Yusuke's bed.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" demanded Yusuke.
"Sleeping," Kuwabara replied drowsily, eyes closed.
"Well, you can't sleep there!" Yusuke exclaimed. "That's my bed!"
"I'm your guest, so I should get the bed!" argued Kuwabara. "Besides, I'm the one who cleaned it!"
"Oh well." Yusuke folded his arms stubbornly. "It's still my bed and you can't sleep on it!"
"Why you little-" The rest of Kuwabara's words were muffled because Yusuke tossed a pillow and blanket at him.
"Here's your blanket..." Yusuke told him. "And here's the floor."
Kuwabara grumbled but grabbed the pillow and blanket, and fell asleep almost before he hit the floor.
Yusuke got into his bed and tried to sleep, but keept getting...interrupted.
"Argh..." He groaned. "Damn... I can't get to sleep with all that racket! Kuwabara's snoring could wake the dead! ...or Hiei. I'd better find a way to shut him up!"
Yusuke grabbed another blanket and dropped it onto Kuwabara's head, stifling his snores.
"That's better," Yusuke mumbled as he climbed back into bed. "Maybe now I can get some sleep..."
Yusuke finally did fall asleep, never realizing that they all had forgotten something very important. With the arrival of a drunken, insane Hiei, one very significant issue had been driven completely out of their minds:
Shizuru.
