Chapter 4:

Hide and Go freak!

Botan was now so red with rage that it looked as though you had dropped a bucket of paint on her. She promptly pointed out the kitchen door."OUT, NOW! SIT ON THE COUCH AND DON"T MOVE!" she screeched. The chibi's shook with fear and stood up.

"You have a sqwishy tush!" Yusuke said poking Yukina's little baby butt. She pushed him and crawled out towards the couch as they all filed into the living room.

"Hiei, you stay" Botan commanded. The chibi was as white as a ghost because of the little incident with the flour. Botan picked him up and sat him on the edge of the sink.

Hiei shook himself like a dog and excess flour flew off. Botan smiled and grabbed a nearby rag. She ran it under warm water and took the remaining bit of his small face. The baby gave a slight smile at her and grabbed onto her shirt.

Botan carried him out to the other chibi's just as the phone rang. She rushed over and picked it up. "Hello?" she said into the receiver.

"Botan, is that you?" inquired Koenma.

"Koenma, finally! Do you know what trauma I've gone through?!" she screamed rather loudly into the phone.

"Uh, no not really..." replied Koenma. Botan proceeded to tell her story to him in such a tone that Koenma doubted if he would ever hear again. But just to go and make Botan angrier, Koenma replied, "Sounds like Kurama's in a bit of trouble. You know what would straighten him out? A spanking!"

Botan looked outraged. "If you think for a moment that I would slap that child's rear..." she started.

Koenma giggled childishly. "You would if he was back to his normal age!"

She proceeded to turn various shades of red. "Can you please shut it? And you'd better find someone to reverse the spell and take care of these little demons!"

"Demons? Literally or figuratively?" Koenma asked jokingly, but Botan had taken the opportunity to hang up.

"Oh well, back to my squid. I love squid!" Koenma said rubbing his hands greedily together.

~Back to the Chibi's~

"Kuwabara, please get that diaper off your head!" cried Botan frantically. "Kurama, hands off the lamp!" "Yukina, Keiko please come out from under the couch!"

"No!" protested the two little girls.

Botan brushed an aqua strand of hair from her face. 'I'm going to have to buy clothes, their absolutely filthy.' She noted mentally.

"Chibi's please gather up, we are going to the store." yelled Botan over the loud commotion in the living room.

"No!" shouted Yusuke. All the chibi's joined in a persistent chorus of no's. Their voices were practically driving one poor grim reaper mad.

"Alright, let me find Mrs. Minamono's car keys and some aspirin and I'll be set." Botan said sighing.

After requesting a bundle of car seats from Koenma, Botan was finally able to catch all the chibis on the living room couch.

"Alright a head count...1, 2, 3, 4, 5...wait where's Kurama?!" Botan shouted. She frantically bit her nails while scrounging around lamps, chairs, a wooden desk, and under the couch. She finally found the little Youko sitting under the sink in a cabinet.

"There you are!" Botan exclaimed with a sigh of relief. She picked up the small demon and he hugged her with his small chubby arms.

"You's finded me. You's gotta hided now!" he said giggling.

"No dear, we have to go out now." She said to him gently. "Yay!" he exclaimed throwing his hands in the air. She put him with the other chibis on the couch.

"Once again 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...where's Hiei?!"

While freaking out she decided to make sure no more chibi's escaped. So she strapped them all into car seats. Looking in cabinets and under the couch, Botan chided herself.

"Losing children! What kind of a woman am I?" Botan stopped at the stairwell. "Perhaps he climbed up the stairs?" Trotting up the steps, she heard a small sneeze.

"That sounded like it came from Kurama's room." Sure enough when she entered the room, she found a little Hiei sitting behind Kurama's curtains on the window sill.

"Hiei, how on earth did you get up there?" she exclaimed with a sigh of relief. The baby just blinked. Botan gathered him into her arms. Hiei made an effort to talk.

" 'uwama tell go hided" he said with difficulty.

"I see, Kurama told you to go hide" she translated. "Curse that little yoko."

Bringing him down the steps, Botan proceeded to one by one bring the chibis to the van in the garage. Yusuke, Keiko, and Hiei went in without trouble but Kuwabara had started to poke Yukina which made her cry and Kurama seemed to want to scratch out his belly button.

"Cursed demons, cursed children, cursed Koenma" Botan muttered to herself. Botan seated, or rather threw, them all inside the van. She proceeded to the drivers eat and sat down. Taking a deep breath she reassured herself:

"This is easy. Just like riding an oar except with pedals and levers and other, um, things." Botan pulled the lever next to her seat down to reverse and tried to put her foot on the gas pedal. It felt squishy and soft under her foot looking down, Botan was horrified to find Yusuke centimeters away from the gas pedal.

"Car go vroom vroom." he said as he sat on the pedal and the car lurched backward.
