Summary: When Yusuke and Kuwabara drag Kurama and an unwilling Hiei to the arcade, Hiei catches a terrible disease. That disease is . . . the chickenpox? (oO;)

Chapter Two: DDR and the Appearance of the Disease
=========================================
"Kurama! Hiei! You made it!" Yusuke exclaimed as the two demons walked up to the arcade doors. Kurama smiled at the hanyou while Hiei just did his trademark 'Hn'.
"Shall we go in, then?" Kurama suggested, and the four of them walked into the arcade.
Inside there were game consoles, systems, machines, and anything related scattered around the room. Teenagers and kids were testing their gaming skills, chatting, hitting on a member of the opposite sex, and eating. The music was so loud that it made Kurama and Hiei flinch a tiny bit, seeing as the sound was more intense for them with their youkai hearing.
Kuwabara immediately dashed off to play the old-but still fun and classic- Asteroids, while Yusuke went to challenge the random fighting games. Kurama wandered around a bit, glancing at some of the games.
The fox felt Youko give an eager twitch as he saw the simplicity of the money system. It would be a walk in the park to hack into the coin deposit inside the machines. Kurama forced him back down and walked back over to Hiei, who hadn't moved since they arrived.
"Hiei, why don't you do something?" Kurama asked, predicting what the reply would be.
Hiei growled quietly. "Do you even need me to answer that question, Kurama?"
The fox shook his head. "No, I don't. But I was wondering if you want to at least browse the games with me. Even I have to admit that some of them are interesting."
The Forbidden Child sighed as Kurama flashed him one of his 'special' smiles, a.k.a. the one that always forced Hiei to give in, as was the case with this situation. (A/N: That sort of rhymed . . . oO)
The two youkai walked around the spacious arcade, every now and then stopping to check out one of the games. In the end, the two came to the conclusion that there was nothing worth their-well, actually it was Kurama's-money . . .
. . . Except for one game.
The two friends stood before the almighty game that many of us reading this have come to love and adore. We worship it. We obsess over it. We're addicted to it.
Dance Dance Revolution!
"This one doesn't look too bad." Kurama commented. "Do you want to try it?"
"Hn." Hiei responded, and the kitsune took that as a yes.
Both of them stepped onto the 'dance floor' that was in front of the two screens. Kurama placed two coins into the slot, and the game began.
An instruction screen popped up, and Hiei smirked. This would be too easy. Just press the button with your foot that corresponded with the arrow that appeared on the screen at the right time. Nothing to it . . . right?
Kurama grinned. He knew what Hiei was thinking, even if he didn't have a third eye. It had to be something along the lines of 'Nothing to it' and 'This will be too easy'. (A/N: Whoa, Kurama's pretty good. o.o;)
The fox selected the song, Uber Rave [1], and the two youkai began to dance.
~+~
"Look! Those two boys are playing DDR!"
"Wow, they're really good!"
"Holy shitake mushrooms! That's a guy?!?" [2]
Yusuke and Kuwabara heard the commotion and glanced up from playing air hockey. (A/N: Hey, that game is addictive!) When the two best friends heard that the players of the DDR game were a short goth and a feminine-looking redhead, the two of them raced over to the crowd that was gathering.
Sure enough, it was Hiei and Kurama playing Dance Dance Revolution. Kuwabara and Yusuke gawked at how good their two friends were.
"And on Uber Rave . . ." Kuwabara whispered in a whiny voice.
The song ended, and the 'audience' applauded and cheered. The pair of demons blushed slightly, not noticing that they had been watched.
Yusuke and Kuwabara pushed their way to the front to see Kurama and Hiei grinning-er, smirking at them.

Two hours later, the Rekai Tantei where panting like dehydrated horses. (A/N: oO; That was an odd simile.) They had been playing DDR repeatedly without taking a break for a drink. While Hiei and Kurama had only improved, Kuwabara and Yusuke stayed where they were: they sucked at DDR.
Hiei got a kick out of seeing Kuwabara screw up royally as he attempted to dance, and did all that was in his power to not roll on the floor laughing his head off. Instead, he settled for dubbing the carrot-top as 'Kuwabaka'.
Kurama laughed at the fire youkai's antics, and then glanced at his watch only to gawk in surprise. It was already 1:23 am?!?
'If kasaan were home, she'd kill me.' Kurama thought as he grabbed his coat and headed for the door.
Hiei immediately follow the kitsune, but suddenly was stopped.
It turned out that some teenage punk had sneezed directly onto Hiei as he walked by. And, as you may have guessed, our pyro-maniac friend was not pleased with this.
Hiei spun around to punch the baka in the face, but he was no where to be seen. (A/N: No, this will not be anything of importance. That baka will not appear again in the story. Sorry! I know, he was a great character . . .)
Growling, Hiei ran out the door to catch up with Kurama. Yusuke elbowed Kuwabara, and the two friends went outside to catch up with the two youkai.
Outside, Hiei was dunking his head in the snow, taking it out, and then dunking it in again. Kurama was starring at the fire apparition awkwardly, as if wondering why he didn't just start rolling in the snow instead.
When Yusuke and Kuwabara saw this, they immediately broke down into hysteric laughter. Kuwabara was literally crying, and Yusuke was on his knees while holding his stomach as if he were afraid that it might burst.
As Hiei finally stood up, shaking the melted snow out of his hair, Kurama and him continued walking home. Yusuke and Kuwabara, however, didn't notice this, so they just continued laughing uncontrollably.
~*+*~
The two youkai walked down the sidewalk towards Kurama's home in silence. The kitsune didn't even want to ask Hiei about why he had been putting his head the cold, fluffy snow.
Kurama was pulled out of his thoughts as Hiei suddenly collapsed onto him. Reacting quickly, Kurama jumped out of his path and caught Hiei before he hit the ground.
"Hiei, what's wrong? You can't be that tired from playing a video game!" the fox exclaimed, worry clearly in his voice. Hiei just blinked slightly at Kurama through his crimson eyes before fainting.
=========================================
A/N: Ooo, dramatic cliffhanger. oO; ::gets starred at::
[1] Uber Rave is actually a song from FFR, a.k.a. Flash Flash Revolution. I just used it here . . . because . . . I wanted to? o.o
[2] If I didn't know about YYH, this would be my reaction to seeing Kurama playing DDR. ^^; I don't actually think Kurama's a girl! It's a joke-type- thingamajig!
Also, I know that it would take at least two days for the sickness to affect Hiei, but I've shortened it for story purposes.
