[Still in the cave, watching Hiei have his episode of violence, which is rather entertaining.]

Kurama- Oh my…

Yukina- He seemed stressed out all day, I sopose now was a good as time as any to snap.

Yuskue- nooo! Hiei, stop it!

Keiko- Oh no!

Yukina- Not more bad news! What is the matter?

Keiko- *Sob* Hiei can't kill Yuskue! I have absolutely nothing to wear to a funeral!

All- *Fall*

Yuskue- Thanks for your sympathy, Keiko!

Yukina- Um, Mr. Fox, may we have our shiny things back?

Kurama- I'm terribly sorry, ma'am, but I can't let you.

Keiko- Why not!?

Kurama- *Sighs* My mother, who lives on the surface, is sick. I figured these shiny things would cheer her up.

Hiei- *Returns, though Yuskue and Kuzuma don't* Dimes cheer people up?

Kurama- ……

Hiei- Well, I got my katana back, so I'm going home.

Yukina- Will you not assist in the gaining of our possessions?

Hiei- Um… If I need to… I guess… *Sweat drop*

Yukina- Thank you.

Keiko- Listen bub, we need our stuff back!

Kurama- I'll pay you for the items.

Keiko- If you want to pay for them, why'd you steal them?

Hiei- And why did you steal dimes?!

Kurama- *Blush* I'm a bit shy..

Hiei- Right. *Snickers*

Kuzuma- *Calls faintly from outside* I like snickers!

Hiei- Idiot. -.-

Kurama- Well then, I think I owe you about $300, right?

Keiko- Well, that ought to be enough to pay for all this stuff.

Kurama- *Forks over a wad of cash* I am really sorry to cause such a fuss… *Blushes*

Hiei- Hn.

Keiko- Wow, Hiei said 'Hn'!

Hiei- *Snarl* What business is it of yours? I can speak however I wish!

Keiko- *Cringes at look of death on Hiei's face*

Kurama- Um… You wouldn't happen to know how I can get back up to the surface, do you? I seem to be unable to use my sub.

Keiko- I have a rocket. Will that work?

Kurama- Yes, that'll do nicely. Thank you for all your help, I really am grateful-

Hiei- Aw, shut up!

Kurama- Huh? *Blink, blink*

Keiko- Come on, I sopose it's a good idea to bring Yuskue and Kuzuma to the hospital…

Hiei- Must we? I was hoping we could just leave them to bleed to death… Muhahaha!

Kurama- *Inches away from creepy Hiei*



I bet you loved it! I incorporated Kurama's incident with the whole Forlorn Hope thing in a bit. No, I do not think Kurama is that bashful, but I couldn't think of anything else! REVIEW! Tell me what you think ought to happen when Kurama is boarding Sandy's- I mean Keiko's rocket. What trouble will befall this gorgeous masked fox?!
