I have just one
question for you people now: have you hugged your Amish person today?
On with the chapter!
Chapter Ten: Chores and Annoying People (no, seriously, have you hugged your Amish person lately?)
"Unghhh, I don't want to do chores today. We're supposed to be savin' the freakin' world, people! How would doing chores help with that!?" Yusuke whined. For the most part he was ignored, which was mainly Botan's fault since she had told Kenshin's group to do just that, though well out of earshot of him.
"We're doing these chores to help them, Yusuke. The dojo was not meant to house ten people, and though we are paying them a good deal of money, we still need to help them out. It's only polite, after all." Botan admonished.
"Hey, wait, where did you get all this money anyway, Botan? I know times have changed and all that, but I think it would take quite a bit more then the average person could hold for all this." Kuwabara asked, innocently.
"Why with this handy dandy Spirit Purse of course!" Botan said. Suddenly the disembodied voice stooped time again to give his explanation.
*SPIRIT PURSE* A source of near infinite money, that is only given to Spirit agents for the duration of their assignment. All a user must do is have a specific amount of money in mind and the purse will always come up with exact change. Many demons attempt to steal these valuable objects for obvious reasons. None have succeeded. There is a Spirit Wallet for male agents with the exact same capabilities.
"Figures. Let me guess. I'd probably be relentlessly tortured if I took that thing and refused to give it back, right?" Yusuke asked sarcastically.
"Correctamundo, Yusuke!" Botan answered, chipper as always.
"All right you three, you're to get groceries, here's the list and where you should be able to get them. Hiei, Kurama, you guys will need to get some more utensils and a new hibachi. We have one already, but there's no way we could feed everyone with what we have. Sano, Yahiko, you two are in charge of getting some more coal and firewood, we're almost out and we need some if we're going to be cooking anything. Kenshin and I will go to miss Megumi's and see about getting some painkillers and such for Kenshin. Now, off you go!" Kaoru ordered as she looked to everyone in turn.
From now the rest of this chapter and the next few will be split up into their respective "teams" until they have completed their "MISSIONS OF DOOM" (A/N I'll shut up now)
*Team Yusuke*
"WHAAAAAAA!?!?!? There must be three million items on this list! There's no way this dinky little town could have all this stuff, and how the hell would we carry it all if it did!? I mean, the shopping cart hasn't even been invented yet!" Yusuke screamed as the shopping list comically unfolded itself into a large pile around his feet.
"Don't worry Yusuke; the Spirit Purse can hold all this, no problem. Though I do admit, this does seem like rather a lot for ten people. But hey, I think we can get most of what we need in this street here!" Botan explained as she pointed around. She was right, many of the stalls they were looking for were very close together, and the only real problem was getting everything in time for dinner.
"Well, then I guess we should get started, looks like we got a long day ahead of us. I hope somebody bought foot cream, cause we're gonna need it." Kuwabara said. Not even Yusuke could disagree with that sentiment.
*Team Hiei/Kurama*
"You sir! Do you know where we could get a large hibachi? One big enough for ten people? No? damn." Hiei asked for the tenth time to the tenth merchant.
"Where are we going to get such a large hibachi!? No one knows where a hibachi dealer is! This is insane!" Hiei screamed at no one in particular. Luckily for him, bare-chested small people with large spiky hair weren't uncommon in Meiji Tokyo.
"Don't worry Hiei; I'm sure there's someone who can help us out." Kurama said, trying to calm the irate demon down.
"Psst, you two, over here! You looking for large hibachi? I get you one, real cheap, just two hundred Yen! It not feed ten people, it feed fifteen!" said a greasy voice from a previously unseen stall in a back corner.
"Like him over there." Kurama said, just a little surprised.
Let's go check him out." Hiei said as he started walking.
*Team Sano/Yahiko*
"Well, the firewood shouldn't be too much of a problem; I can just punch a few trees down and be done with it, so why don't you go take care of getting that coal, Yahiko?" Sano asked as he prepared to do a little deforestation.
"Uhh, Sano, I'm gonna kinda' need money for that. Coal ain't cheap, you know?" Yahiko explained sarcastically. Sanosuke never had money for anything.
"Enh, just go ask Botan, she always has money, I'm sure she'll give you some." Sano answered. Neither of them noticed the tree roots creeping up behind the other.
*Team Kenshin/Kaoru*
"Ohh, I just hate that woman! Grrrrrr." Kaoru grumbled on general principle. Kenshin had learned long ago to just let Kaoru grumble her frustrations out, at least when they concerned the ever-flirtatious Megumi. Suddenly they heard a scream coming from near the dojo, where Yahiko and Sanosuke where finishing there chores. They looked at each other, and knew what they had to do.
***************
"Heheheh, forest sprites, so easy to manipulate. Too bad they probably won't do much more then give them a good scare on their own, so maybe I should 'help them out a little.' Hahahaha. . ."
Man, more laughter in the dark, and now he's going to help those sprites to try and kill Yahiko and Sano. The bastard.
P.S. Okay, two votes for the Yugioh/InuYasha fic, come on people let yourselves be heard! Just put your vote in the review, and don't be afraid to suggest something original!
On with the chapter!
