I feel so bad. People were suggesting all these bishies I'd never heard of! Sorry peoples, but I only added five. I don't think I'll add any more, cuz I've added bishies from all the shows I know enough about to get their attitudes right. I'm kinda deprived of anime. I only see what they show on Cartoon Network. *kicks something and it runs away screaming*

Oh, by the way, I'm attempting to take over the world with winged paperclips and giant hamsters with 6-inch fangs and a lust for human flesh. If you see either of these, please don't do anything to them, they'll leave you alone if you leave them alone. ^_^ (Don't ask.)

CHAPTER THREE

In which more people arrive and Sano gets punched

It was still the day after they'd arrived. The guys were all moping or something similar, when behold, the bright light flashed, and POW! The room suddenly had five more occupants, two of which ended up in cages. One of these two was wearing all red and had long white hair and... dog ears... The other one was wearing mostly white, had some strange furry thing over one shoulder, a large metal thingy with spikes on the other shoulder, had red streaks on his face, a purple crescent moon on his forehead, and pointy ears.

The three who weren't in cages were more human. One was wearing purplish-blue robes and had his ears pierced with little gold rings through them. The second was wearing a long red coat and had spikey blonde hair. The other one was probably the most normal, as far as clothing and looks. He wore a dark suit, dark sunglasses, and had short black hair.

"Just what we need," Saitou muttered. "More bakas."

"Who's to say they're idiots, Saitou-san?" Kurama said. "They could be very intelligent."

"Unlikely."

"Why don't you wake 'em up and ask?" Sanosuke suggested.

"Fine," Yusuke replied. He knelt beside the young man in the red coat. "Hey, you! Wake up!" he ordered, shaking him. The man opened his eyes and sat up, looking around.

"Huh? Who are you guys? Where am I?"

Everybody let out a collective sigh/groan. Those questions had to be the most annoying questions in the world.

Kurama woke up the man in the dark suit. He sat up, looked around, spotted the blonde-haired man, and yelled, "What're you doin' here, Needlenoggin? Wait. Where is here?"

Last, they woke up the man in the robes. He went and woke up one of the two caged guys, the one in red. That one looked around and spotted the other white-haired man in teh cage beside him. He looked angry and scared at the same time.

"Sesshoumaru!"

With that, the other man woke up. He looked around. He glared.

"What is this place?"

Well at least it wasn't 'Where am I?'

"Who are you people?" the blonde man asked.

Well, they got through introductions. Vash, Wolfwood, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru were the new captives. Then, eventually, they managed to explain to these five what was going on... as far as they knew.

"We've been kidnapped?! What the hell do they think they're gonna get from kidnapping us?" Wolfwood asked. He reached into first one pocket, then another, then patted his chest and looked around, starting to look frantic.

"Something wrong?" Yusuke asked.

"They stole my cigarettes!"

"You'll just have to deal with the headaches," Saitou drawled. "I am."

"You smoke?" Hiei asked.

"That's what was different about you!" Sano said triumphantly. "For once you haven't got a flippin' cigarette hangin' out of your mouth!"

"I don't care what they think they're gonna get, I know what they're gonna get! I'm gonna give them a damn broken neck, that's what!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Hey! Somebody agrees with me!" Hiei said. Nobody paid attention. Inuyasha was getting a lecture from both Vash and Kenshin about, 'Killing is wrong!'

He yelled at them to shut up. They listened. A voice came over the intercom.

"Now that you're all here, we'll answer your questions. Let's put you in a bit friendlier environment, okay?"

Before they realized it, the guys were in a large room with some chairs and desks. It resembled a school room, except it wasn't very well lit. In the front of the room there was a stage, a large screen (like the type you'd use for slide shows), a long table, and a podium. Twelve girls sat at the table and one stood at the podium.

"Hi guys! Let's have the first question, please," the girl at the podium said.

"Do you want to die?" Hiei asked.

One of the girls swooned and passed out, knocking her chair over backwards. The guys glanced at her, but the other girls barely seemed to notice.

"That's a silly question. Does anybody have a SERIOUS question?"

"What is it exactly that you want from us?" Kenshin asked.

"We are on a quest to find the ultimate bishounen. You boys have been chosen as contestants."

"Contestants? You talk about it like it's a game show," Hiei said quietly.

"Why are you ramming us in little cages like animals?" Sanosuke asked. "It's degrading!"

"Don't use my word, ahou. You probably don't even know what it means," Saitou said under his breath.

"I'm warning you, old man..." Sano growled.

"Ahem! We put you in those cages because of your volitile nature," the girl answered.

"Yes, moron, didn't we already decide that?" Saitou said.

"SHUT UP, SAITOU!"

"Like that. Now... Next question!"

"Why have you robbed me of my cigarettes?" Wolfwood whined in an overly dramatic tone.

"Why have you disarmed us?"

"Because if we hadn't disarmed you, I have a feeling Sanosuke-san would be dead right now."

"Ha! I'm popular! All you people got your weapons taken because of ME!" Sano bragged. Hiei leaned toward him.

"That's not a good thing," he whispered.

"It's not?"

"Huh-uh."

"Shit."

"Next question!"

"Who are you people, and where exactly is this place?" Kurama asked.

"Good questions!" the girl said. She turned and hissed to the girls at the table, "I told you Kurama-dono was a genius!"

"Kurama-dono?!" Yusuke said, his jaw dropping. "Looks like we found your fanatic, Kurama."

"Hai..."

"To answer your questions, dear, we are just a bunch of teenage girls who are more intelligent than to just swoon over what we could never have. We decided that swooning was pointless unless you were swooning over the REAL THING. We started planning, and PRESTO! Bishies are OURS NOW!" The girl laughed insanely. Hiei was reminded of Shadow.

"What about the second question?" Kurama reminded.

"This place is in Tokyo, Japan, in the year 2010."

There was a collective exclamation of, "2010?!"

"Fuckin' time travelers?!"

"No way! Time travel is impossible!"

"Actually, it's possible. You just have to fall down the right well."

"Shutup, dog-boy!"

"2010...? But... That's over 100 years in the future..."

"No it's not! It's only six!"

"Six? What the hell time period have you been living in?"

"The one in 2004."

"You're from the future?!"

"You're from the past?"

"No, I'm from the present. You're from the future."

"We're all from the past if this is really 2010!"

"Shut up, genius fox-boy!"

"...?"

"Oro? Fox-boy?"

"2010?"

"Yes, 2010, moron, now would you stop repeating it?"

"I'M WARNING YOU, SAITOU! SHUT UP BEFORE I TEAR THOSE UGLY BANGS RIGHT OUT OF YOUR SCALP!"

"I'd like to see you try, Rooster-head."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

"CHILDREN!"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

"Ahem!" the girl said, clearing her throat. "If you'll calm down, I'll explain. We created a time traveling machine so we could capture you cuties while you were in your prime bishie-ness. Since at some point between 2004 and 2010, Kurama-dono cuts his hair and Yusuke becomes a father, we didn't want that. And since Saitou, Sano, Hiko-san, Aoshi-san, Kenshin, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Miroku are all dead now, that wouldn't work too well."

"We aren't dead!"

"Well that's because you came from your time, directly here, and didn't age. So you're still alive and safe."

"Oh."

"Any more questions?"

"How long are you planning on keeping us here?" Miroku asked.

"As long as we want."

Hiei cursed.

"How do you plan to determine the ultimate 'bishie', dare I ask?" Hiko said.

"I'm glad you asked!" The girl smiled widely. "Bishounen challenge number one!"

The room seemed to dematerialize around them, and they were suddenly in a field. The girls were still there, all smiling.

"Reach the golden tree," one said. She held up a picture of a tree with gold leaves. "Of course, I'm not specifying how we judge these, because we don't want you to TRY to impress us, we just want to see how you act normally. Go!"

The girls vanished. The boys stood in silence for a while before Inuyasha said something rather rude about the girls. Just about everyone else agreed. Then they stood in silence for a few more minutes before Hiei spun around and punched an innocent tree for no apparent reason.

"This is shit!" he growled. "I'm not about to put up with some garbage about finding some tree! I should have slaughtered them right there!"

"IIE!!!" Kenshin protested. "Killing is wrong, de gozaru! How many times do I have to tell you that before you'll stop saying such things?"

"You might as well save your breath and not tell me at all, because you're not going to stop me."

"I need NICOTINE!" Wolfwood complained.

"Shut up, baka!" Saitou snapped."You're not helping."

"Look here, buster, I don't care if it's helping or not! I need my cigarettes!"

"Let's not fight, Saitou," Kenshin said.

"Shut up, Battousai." Saitou suddenly looked at Sano and punched him across the face. "Ah. I feel better now."

"OW! DAMMIT, SAITOU!" Sano screamed, nursing his face. "What the hell was that for?"

"You deserved it."

Sano growled and lunged at Saitou, who caught his fists and held him in place.

"Moron."

Sano snarled some rude insult under his breath and attempted to push Saitou backwards. Of course, he didn't do too great a job of that. Off to the side, Hiei was marveling at how much this scenario reminded him of himself and Kuwabara.

"STOP!" Yusuke yelled finally. Sano continued glaring at Saitou even after the man let go of his wrists.

"We need to decide what we're going to do. We need to cooperate. We don't know how these girls are judging us, so our best bet would be to act normal, wouldn't it?" Kurama said.

"Iie. If we act normal then they'll know what we're really like and they'll actually choose the one of us they like best, and they'll know about us and everything, right?" Yusuke said.

"It doesn't matter, really," Hiei said suddenly, staring at the tree he'd punched earlier. "I just found the stupid golden tree."

Everybody stared. Everybody felt a bit stupid. The girls appeared again.

"Congratulations! All of you pass the first challenge! Now, when we send you back, there will be a new arrangement in the order of cages, as we noticed a bit of bickering amongst a few of you. We'll tend to you first, then we'll send you back."

"... A bit of bickering?" Sano said, wondering if they'd consider it more than 'a bit' if Saitou had broke his jaw.

Meanwhile, at the scene of the crime... Or something.

"Tha'ssit... I'm gonna go fine 'Iei..."

Shadow stumbled out the door and promptly fell off the porch. Eclipse sweatdropped and dragged her back inside.

"Shadow, you pumped yourself full of sleeping pills. How is it you're still awake?"

"Wake? I... I'm noh 'wake... 'Air's 'Iei?"

"Hiei is sleeping, just like you should be. If you don't fall asleep soon, I'm gonna bust open your skull."

"Buft open? Aaaaaayyyyy... Mew."

Shadow promptly fell flat on her face, snoring loudly.

"God... It takes ten pills to put her out!"

Eclipse dragged her friend inside, downstairs, onto one of the infirmary beds, and strapped her down. Then she went and raided the kitchen.

Dictionary: I didn't use any words that weren't defined in previous chapters except "ahou" which means about the same thing as "baka." Idiot, simpleton, etc etc etc. I used a few less Japanese words in this chapter and the second one than I did in the first one... I used like... a lot in that chapter... Heh. Duh. Oi. Anyway. Bye.

Oh, I need to start putting together a rescue team. Only people from the anime I've included, preferably girls, but if there's any guys remaining (like Kuwabara or Yahiko), I could put them on the team too. But who all should I put on the rescue team (Preferably people who can fight.)?
