Skye: Once again it's me, coming to grace you with my presence . . . right
. . . that was weird. ^^U Anyway, I'm trying to finish this fic . . . so
below is the next chapter. What you must all realize though is that this
was originally meant to be a one-shot, so after Hiei wakes up, I really
have no idea what to put. In other words, this fic really doesn't have a
plot . . . Which is, needless to say, bad. Very, very bad.
Ruby: If it's needless to say, why do you say it?
Skye: Because.
Ruby: Because why?
Skye: Just because. Don't argue with me.
Ruby: Uhh . . . okay.
Skye: So if anyone has any idea on what should come next in this story . . . I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Dedication: To Rosey, who forced me to write the next chapter. No, I mean really physically forced me. You don't how persuading a sledgehammer can be.
Disclaimer: *Ruby runs out of the room, crying* I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Really, though, I'm flattered that you think I could actually come up with something like that. My sympathy for your beliefs is unparalleled.

Yusuke stepped outside of Hiei's room. He looked with concern at Kurama. "You alright?"
Kurama stared at the floor. "Yes. I'm fine. I'm very sorry about all of that."
Yusuke shrugged, "Don't mention it. Everyone had to let out stress sometime. Even you." He winked. "You're not as perfect as you think you know." He ignored Kurama's protests that he most certainly did not think he was perfect, and asked "Where were you?"
"He was about to walk off a cliff."
"HE WAS WHAT?!!!"
Kurama looked at Botan sourly. "I was lost in thought, and wasn't looking where I was going."
"So you almost walk off a CLIFF?!!"
"Yes, fox, you used to be more careful than that. What has happened to you?"
"I gotta admit, Kurama, I agree with the shrimp-" Everyone in the room froze. Kuwabara dropped his can of finished soda. Kurama's eyes widened and he had to rest his hand on a table to keep himself up as he looked past Yusuke's shoulder. Yusuke himself remained neutral. Botan fell on the floor.
"H-Hiei?" It was Kurama who finally spoke. Not able to keep himself up anymore, he slowly slid to the ground beside Botan. "You- you're awake."
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "You act as if I've been out for a year."
"Well two actually."
"Two years?!" He hit Yusuke on the head. "You failed to mention THAT little detail, imbecile."
"Well you just got up, like, two seconds ago." He sputtered as everyone glared at him. "It wasn't MY fault!"
"Technically, yes it is." Kurama managed to drag himself off the floor. He coughed slightly as he looked at Botan, who was still laying on the floor, eyes wide and mouth open. "Um . . . Botan?" He poked her with his foot.
"Hiei . . . awake . . . not . . . good . . ." She managed to gasp out.
Everyone else crowded around her. "What do you mean 'not good'?" asked Kuwabara. He stared down at her accusingly.
"Well . . . you see . . . it was part of the other assignment that I went to get Kurama for." She stopped abruptly, glancing quickly at Hiei. "Uh . . . can we talk about this in the other room?"
There was a bit of arguing that Hiei had the right to hear it too, but in the end they consented and Botan herded them into the kitchen. It was a small, rectangular room with cabinets on every wall except one, and a counter that ran the length of the room. A fridge was nestled in one corner; a stove and dishwasher were opposite it. There was a table in the center of the room, with six chairs situated around it. Yusuke hopped up on the counter, hit his head on the cabinets, rubbed it sheepishly, and ducked his head underneath them. Kuwabara plopped down into a chair, while Kurama kept standing. They looked at Botan expectantly.
She paced nervously around the room. "Well, you see, it's just that, uh-"
"BOTAN! Spit it out already!" Yusuke was getting impatient.
She groaned. "You know how Hiei got into a coma in the first place?"
Kurama shrugged. "Yeah. He was attacked. So?"
"Well . . . Koenma found the demon who took him on."
"Great!" Yusuke jumped off the counter, hit his head again, and exclaimed "Let's go and pound the shit out of 'em!"
"WAIT!!!" Botan practically screamed as everyone got up and moved towards the door.
"What's wrong with you, Botan?" asked Yusuke.
"Yeah, why can't we go pound the guy?" demanded Kuwabara.
"Well it's rather complicated- or, well, maybe, I guess it's not, but you see this- this Garrimon, that's his name, you see, Garrimon, he's a shady character, kinda hard to kill, and Koenma thinks it'd just be better if he thought that Hiei was, well, dead, and that Hiei didn't know it was him, so . . . yeah." Her voice trailed off as she looked at their stony faces. "Right. So, we'll be going after him now?"
She winced as she they glared at her and trooped past her into the living room. Botan sighed. "Boys." She followed them into the living room, before bumping straight into Kurama, as they had stopped short right outside the door. "Hey!" She leaned around them to see what they were staring at, and gasped.
Hiei was standing in the middle of the room, jagan unveiled and glowing.
"So it was Garrimon then? He's getting bold."
"Oops." Botan whispered. ________________________________________________________________________
Skye: Has anyone else noticed how this isn't very angsty anymore? Oh well. Hopefully you'll live. I can't find Ruby right now. She's mysteriously disappeared. I suspect Rain has something to do with it.
Thanks to all Reviewers!! I'm going to try to end this soon!
