Ellen: Hey! Hopefully the formatting is fixed now! My friend Sai is
taking care of it for me. For that person who asked me to kill off
Kuwabaka, I can't actually do it in the story (darn it) because it
would mess up a whole bunch of stuff, but I hope this will make you
happy:
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH.
Kuwabaka: Whew.
Ellen: But I do own a match.
Kuwabaka: Um...
Fwooshy: And another tank of gasoline.
Kuwabaka: Uh, Urameshi...
Cheddar: A roll of duct tape would compliment them nicely, don't you
think, guys? (rolls duct tape around the baka, pours gasoline, lights
match)
Ellen: (sunbathing in a lawn chair sipping lemonade while watching
Kuwabara run around frantically trying to put out the fire) I never
get tired of this!
I'm also sorry about the wait! I've been really busy!
Later that evening, at the appropriate time and place, Kurama and I walked into the clearing together at the exact same time Sakura and Mitsky arrived. Little did we know that we had other visitors.
"Hey, long time no see," Sakura joked. "So. How's life?"
"Hmmm..." I said sarcastically, "uh, hello? I just found out I'm a demon! How do you think my life is?! Argh, I'm sorry Sakura, it's just that, well, according to legends, I'm supposed to destroy all that I touch, but I feel that something went wrong, somehow... huh?"
Something was tickling the top of my head. I reached up to feel if there was something there. Under my hair, I felt two tiny lumps. Everybody was looking at me, so I explained, "Just an itch."
"Well, why don't you clue us in on your life now?" Mitsky asked of me. "Afterwards we'll tell you about ourselves."
Later...
"..." Sakura and Mitsky had long since sat down, gazing at Kurama and me (who were telling my story, and who were also sitting down), their mouths open in awe.
"What do you think? Do I look like a demon who is an almost all-powerful threat to the entire human world?" I smirked.
"...Well, um, no..." Mitsky and Sakura quickly shook their heads to regain their composure. "Now it's our turn to tell our life stories, though I'm afraid that it's not half as exciting as yours. Mitsky, would you like to go first?"
"Why, thank you, Sakura."
Even later...
"Wow, I see you guys have gotten around," I said with a smile. However, the smile quickly faded as there was a rustle in the trees, and before any of us could react, Hiei was standing on the ground in front of us, followed by a blue-haired woman in a pink kimono who was riding an oar that was floating about four feet off the ground.
By now, even that couldn't surprise me.
"Hey, Hiei. This your girlfriend?" I said in a wry voice.
"SILENCE! Grrrrr..." If looks could kill, I'd be a smoldering pile of ash, thanks to Hiei's firey demon powers.
"Actually, my name's Botan, and I've been waiting to meet you for quite a while now!" the girl said in a happy, high voice, with a slight British accent. "Rainer demons are always welcomed in the Spirit World. However, Kurama, I'm afraid you've left out one important detail from Nerua's education." Botan frowned, and held up her index finger, her voice no longer joyful. "All of the Rainer demons that have been created into this world have been male. But you, Nerua, are a girl, and that has created some problems." Botan put down her hand. "I saw you feel your head a while ago. Under extra emotional distress, such as your outburst a while ago, well..." Botan had pushed in front of Hiei, and he was getting impatient to say what he wanted to say.
Hiei ran in front of her. "Forget her, what I want is revenge!" He drew his katana. I sighed. "Hiei, didn't you learn anything from this afternoon? Oh well, don't blame me for this..." Grass snaked up from the ground and caught Hiei by his arms and legs, and held him to the ground, while a small rain cloud formed above his head, showering him with hailstones, and occasionally small lightningbolts. "Now Botan, what were you saying?"
Hiei struggled to break free of the grass, but to no avail. He even tried using his Fist of the Mortal Flame attack, but he couldn't reach the grass bonds, and the hail doused the attack before too long.
"Oh, poor Hiei..." Sakura whispered under her breath.
"Oh, nothing, never mind. It was nice to meet you, Nerua! I have to report this to my boss! See ya!" She flew up out of the top of the forest on her oar, and quickly disappeared into the stars in the night sky.
"What's with her?" I asked the rest. Mitsky and Sakura shrugged, but Kurama chuckled while Hiei still struggled with the grass, soaking wet from melted hailstones, shouting loudly although no one was paying any attention to him except Sakura, who kept stealing glances at him.
"Oh, she's just who humans think of as the Grim Reaper. Her boss is Koenma, the ruler of Spirit World, the human equivalent of heaven," Kurama explained.
Suddenly, he stiffened. "I think Hiei and I need to go. Right away."
"Finally! Nerua, you heard him, GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Hiei was getting frantic.
"But Kurama, where are you going?" I asked as I mentally loosened Hiei from the grass. He immediately sprang up, and joined Kurama at the edge of the clearing. The hail cloud followed him.
"Can we come too?"
"If that is what you desire. But we must hurry." The five of us ran off to the city, where we saw the end of Toguro scaring the crud out of Yusuke, and explaining the Dark Tournament.
"My goodness..." Kurama breathed. He and Hiei obviously knew what was going on, but the rest of us were clueless, so Mitsky asked.
"What's going on, Kurama?" "No good, I'm afraid. That demon's name is Toguro. He possesses strength unimaginable, and I believe that Yusuke has just been invited to the Dark Tournament." At that moment, the younger Toguro brother walked by and looked at us, and all five of us fixed him with an icy stare. Even from a distance, he seemed to emanate a powerful, evil energy.
"So Kurama, Hiei, I assume you'll be competing as well? And what about your little friends? Will they accompany you?"
"Hmph. We can speak for ourselves. Of course we will be joining Team Urameshi." Sakura spoke for all of us.
Toguro turned away. "The tournament will be in two months. For your own sakes you'd better be there." After Toguro left, Kurama and Hiei explained to us about the Dark Tournament, and what would be at stake, and warned us not to come, but not one of us could be deterred from at least trying to attend. All of a sudden, I noticed something small sticking out of Hiei's hair.
"Hey, Hiei, what's that in your hair?"
"Huh?" Hiei scratched his head, and a dandelion seed floated down to the ground.
"Um, heh, heh, Hiei, you've got even more dandelion seeds stuck in your hair!"
"What?!? Get them out! Get them out!" Hiei began to frantically rub his hair, but this only succeeded in bringing more seeds to the surface of his hair. Everyone in attendance laughed, except Sakura, and she, once again, was the only one who attempted to help the tormented demon get the seeds out of his apparently highly combed-over and gelled hair.
Ellen: Heh heh. The second dandelion incident.
Hiei: Why I oughtta...
Ellen: Now, now Hiei, be careful of what you say. Malecasu?
Malecasu: Yes?
Ellen: If Hiei starts acting up, you know what to do.
Malecasu: With pleasure. (cracks knuckles)
Hiei: *gulp*
