Chapter 5
They dragged Hiei back to Yusuke's house. He was now tied to a chair, squirming to get free.
"Sweet Snow, mysweetsnow," he said.
Yusuke pulled Kurama into the other room.
"What are we going to do now? Is there a cure?" Yusuke asked.
"I believe we should just wait until the effects wear off. Keep him tied up, then later he should be fine," Kurama answered.
They heard a crash, and ran to the room where Hiei was tied up.
Fringed ended ropes were resting on an empty chair, where Hiei should have been.
"God forbid!" Yusuke thought.
A pile of plates were broken in the kitchen.
It seemed that Hiei had been looking for something. Cans of vegetables and fruits were in a jumbled pile, along with everything else in the pantry. As they looked at the disaster, they heard Hiei.
"Sweet Snow...v-very good."
A half-empty bucket of Sweet Snow was on the floor. Hiei was sitting in front of it, the bottom half of his face, dripping with it. The other two hurried towards him, but the Sweet Snow, and Hiei vanished, then appeared on the other side of the room. They went after him again. And, again, Hiei and the sweet snow disappeared.
"N-no way! Im not going to take this, running after him every time. But...the doors are locked, and he's too sugar high to figure out how to open it," Yusuke said.
"God-damned door!" a voice called out from the other room.
"See what I mean Kurama?" Yusuke asked,"He wont burn down the city..."
"I suppose, bu-.." Kurama was interrupted.
Another crash was heard.
"Agh! Why the hell does he do that when we're not in there?" Yusuke complained.
They went into the other room. Hiei wasnt there.
"Where the hell is he now?"
"Look, Yusuke," Kurama said.
A broken window with blood on the sharp edges.
"Gah, he's crazy!" Yusuke said,"A nut case. I say let him go free."
"We must go after him again. Even though we hate to always have to find him after he escapes, we have to. Hiei might do something drastic," Kurama replied, to Yusuke's last comment.
"Fine...fine..." Yusuke said. Then he mumbled,"Nothing good is happening to me today."
And once again, they went to find Hiei, their sugar high friend.
"Where the hell could he be?" Yusuke said.
"I dont know..maybe..to get more sugar?" Kurama replied.
Meanwhile, Hiei was frantically trying to find more Sweet Snow and sugar.
"Where th-he hell is sugar?!...Sweet Snow?!" Hiei shouted.
As much as he looked, there was no sugary sweets around. He grew angrier and more jittery. Under his head band, a purple light appeared. His Jagan Eye was activated out of fustration and anger. Flames rose from the ground, around Hiei. Smoke from it toppled over the tall buildings that were catching fire as it spread.
Yusuke and Kurama saw the smoke from a far. They figured it was obviously Hiei causing all the ruckus. Both of them ran towards the smoke.
Hiei was still standing in the middle of the street. But, luckily the dirty air shielded him from bieng seen.
Yusuke arrived at the scene. The firemen were now getting to the street that had caught. The barrier of fire, burning around Hiei, was cooling down. Kurama ran into the flames.
"Kurama!" Yusuke shouted,"Get back here! Its too dangerous!"
The red-haired Kitsune couldn't see through the smoke and flames. He was choking on them. But Kurama kept moving in deeper in, until it cleared. Then, there stood Hiei, twitching in anger.
Kurama, with his hand still over his mouth, grabbed Hiei and quickly ran out, dragging him. He didn't quit running. He motioned for Yusuke to follow him into the alleyway closeby.
"Kurama! How stupid are you?" Yusuke asked.
"L-Listen to the ningen!" Hiei suddenly commented.
"S-sorry, Yusuke. We...didn't need an extra problem on our hands," Kurama gasped, as he was kneeling down. The smoke inhalation had stole some of Kurama's energy. He then collapsed on the ground, but still breathing.
"K-kurama!" Hiei said. Yusuke looked suprised. He thought,'How could he care about Kurama in the state he's in?'
It seemed that Hiei had gained a little of his sanity. Hiei knelt down, as did Yusuke. Out of concern for his friend, he stayed and helped Yusuke carry Kurama. They headed to Yusuke's house and laid Kurama on a bed.
"He'll be fine, Hiei...nothing can keep Kurama down for long," Yusuke said. Then he went to the kitchen to make Kurama and himself some green tea. Hiei stayed with Kurama for a while, still jittering and twitching. Then, he went to the kitchen where Yusuke was.
"Hey, I made you some tea too, Hiei...only this one doesnt have sugar. Dont want you going insane again," Yusuke said.
Hiei had a mad expression on his face.
"Now...which one was it?" Yusuke asked.
Three mugs of tea looked exactly the same. No discoloration or anything. Hiei took one of the mugs. And, then Yusuke took the other two with him, to Kurama.
Kurama had now waken up. He was sitting straight up, his arm across his chest.
"Ah..thank you, Yusuke," Kurama said,"And, Hiei, In suprised you're here."
Hiei took a sip of his tea, as did Yusuke and Kurama.
"Blech...this is awf-...uh oh," Yusuke gagged. He had drank the tea without the sugar, meant for Hiei.
"What?" Kurama asked. Hiei was now jittering fiercly.
"G-good sugar." Again the window broke, with more blood stains on the sharp edges.
"God forbid! Again?" Yusuke complained,"Next time, let's get out the straight jacket."
Kurama was sitting on the edge of the bed, about to stand up.
"Hey, Kurama? Are you sure you're fine now?"
"Yes,Im all right...no worries," Kurama gave a quick smile.
They dragged Hiei back to Yusuke's house. He was now tied to a chair, squirming to get free.
"Sweet Snow, mysweetsnow," he said.
Yusuke pulled Kurama into the other room.
"What are we going to do now? Is there a cure?" Yusuke asked.
