I'd like to thank: KuramasKitsuneMate and Lady-Inu for being my very first reviewers!

Joy for you!

Chapter #3

"I am the magical tour guide!" The little man announced. Scampering away from Yuske and Koenma, he turned around and screamed, "Follow me, or be lost in confusion of the evil tourists! They are coming!" Cackling insanely, the little guy waddled over towards Kurama, Botan, Hiei, and Kuwabara.

Koenma shrugged sheepishly. "These new models are known for being slightly eccentric." Koenma ignored Yuske's rude gesture. "His name is Lee. Little Energetic Entertainer."

Following Lee, Yuske inwardly cringed. The tiny dude was already instructing Hiei on the proper technique for doing the hula.

"Come on man! Put your hips into it!" Grabbing Hiei's shirt, Lee forced him into an even more swishy motion.

Disturbing. Very disturbing.

At least the others were getting a kick outta it.

"Swish those hips!" Kuwabara yelled encouragingly.

"Come on, Hiei!" Botan cheered. "You can do better then that!"

Hiei, who had been paralyzed from the astonishment of having a little guy come up to him and force him to hula, snapped out of his little trance, and backhanded Lee into a brick wall.

An observing group of tourists burst into applause, and started taking pictures.

Growling, eyes red, and foaming at the mouth, Hiei turned on them. As Hiei went to go destroy the innocent sunburned people with cameras, the others gathered.

They needed a plan.

They needed a strategy.

This wasn't a vacation, now was it—oh.

Heh. Riiiight.

Lee, now standing on a discarded phone book (who actually keeps those things anyway?), looked up at him employers and demanded, "So what shall we do?"

"Surfing!"

"Sun bathing!"

"Scuba-diving!"

"Let's look at the local history museums!" Everyone stared at Kurama in horror. "What? I hear they're very educational."

Yuske and Kuwabara shuddered.

Thinking over the suggestions, Lee made his decision.

"First, for your wonderful tour, I am going to take you to the beach!" Hiei, who had returned in time to hear this announcement, made a face. "Where there will be plenty of humans just waiting to be pushed into the neighboring volcanoes!" Hiei immediately brightened up.

Volcanoes meant magma. Magma meant searing heat. Searing heat meant torture. This was going to be a pretty nice trip after all.

Later, at the beach...


Botan stretched out on her big fluffy towel.

Yep. This was the life.

Helping dead souls into Spirit World was a pretty nice job, but honestly. A break was nice once in a while.

A very loud scream was heard in the distance.

Without opening an eye, Botan yelled loudly, "HIEI! Stop tormenting the humans." She heard a muffled gagging sound. "And that means no suffocating sightseers."

Hearing Hiei's disappointed sigh, she snuggled a bit more into her towel, and then went to sleep.

Next, the surfing!


Doubtfully, Yuske and Kurama looked at their rental boards.

"Are you sure about this?" Kurama held his up a bit, and then looked at the crashing waves. "This doesn't seem entirely safe. And this board..." He indicated the pink Hawaiian flower print.

"Deal with the boards," Yuske frowned at his own very feminine surf board. "And don't worry so much. We can survive fighting hoards of demons, we can survive this."

"How very comforting."

Two random girls stopped and started taking pictures of Kurama.

"This," Kurama grumbled as he made his way into the water, the two girls close behind, "is unbelievably degrading."

"Hey, don't be so down." Yuske slowly tried sitting on his board. "Having girls chase you around isn't that bad, Kurama." No response. "Kurama?"

Looking over his shoulder, Yuske saw Kurama surrounded by girls of all shapes, colors, and sizes. Big ones, small ones...oddly pierced ones.

"Yuske!" Kurama screamed, as the mob surrounded him. "SAVE YOURSELF!!!"

Shrugging, Yuske went back to balancing on his flowery surf board.

"Can do."

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Meanwhile, at the snack bar...


Koenma, Kuwabara, and Lee watched all this in fascination.

"You think we should have gone to the Bahamas instead?" Kuwabara wondered.

"Naaah." Koenma pointed to Hiei, who was busy stamping a kid's sandcastle into the ground while the little girl sobbed nearby. "This is way more entertaining."

Hey all you beautiful readers out there! How do ya like it so far? I have a vague idea of where this is all heading, and I hope you like it! (Next chapter: Kuwabara reads minds. Creepy.)
