Any suggestions out there for stuff Kuwabara can hear while he's reading minds?

Hmmm?

Oh, and please review! It's not mandatory, but it's appreciated.


Chapter #4

Hiei looked at his spork.

Then he looked at the little kid licking an ice cream cone.

Spork.

Kid.

Spork.

Kid.

"Don't even think about it!" Yuske yanked the utensil from the short fighter's hands. "You can't go around stabbing people with plastic silverware. It's just not done in this world."

Hiei sighed in disappointment. Humans had no sense of humor.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Kurama ran by, an army of girls in differing bathing suits, grass skirts, and wedding dresses were close behind him.

Most of them were trying in vain to rip his clothes off.

"Do you think we should do something?" Botan asked, thoughtfully slurping her ice tea. "I mean, I know he's a great fighter, but do you guys really think he can survive fangirls?"

Hiei and Lee burst into crazed giggles at the same time.

"He'll be fine," Kuwabara answered. He looked down at his empty drink, and then at the darkening sky. "It's getting pretty late you guys, shouldn't we be getting ready to go?"

Lee stood—after quickly finishing off his chocolate milk, of course—and ran around the table a few times in excitement. "I got us reservations! I got us reservations!"

"Eh-hem." Koenma glared, and tapped his foot a few times for good measure.

"Oh. Er...sorry." Straitening his tie, Lee turned to Kuwabara. "I would be happy to point out the hotel for you." He giggled, and then screamed, "IT'S RIGHT BEHIND THE CHEESE FACTORY!!!"

And sure enough, in the distance there was a cheese factory. A pretty nice one too. And behind that was the hotel. Also a pretty nice one.

Yuske nodded wisely. "Ahhh, a cheese factory. That's why this beach smells so funny."

Kuwabara grinned widely at the hotel. "I bet they have a hot tub!" He turned to find everyone else—but Lee and Hiei, who were playing with the sporks—giving him odd looks. "Okay then. Uh, who wants to go check it out with me?" No volunteers. "Fine then. See ya later."

Later at the cheese factory...

Kuwabara wrinkled his nose as he passed the factory. "Oh man, Yuske was right. This place does smell funny."

That's when he noticed he was alone. There wasn't a single tourist in sight. And not just because Kurama had stolen all the girls. No, something weird was going on.

"Stupid tour guide. Couldn't even walk me to the hotel."

Nervously, Kuwabara continued walking over the warm sand. It really was getting pretty dark. And cold. And...was something following him?

Kuwabara rolled his eyes. This was just a horror movie waiting to happen.

"Stupid imagination. Stupid brain. Stupid, stupid, stupid—" And that's when a chunk of cheddar knocked him out.

And then he wakes up...

"Kuwabara? Are you okay?" Something nudged his shoulder. Opening his eyes, Kuwabara saw Yuske staring down at him.

Stupid. What the heck is he doing lying down like this?

"Hey, don't call me stupid!" Kuwabara growled.

"What? I didn't say anything." Great. Now he's crazy. There goes my vacation down the drain. This has got to be worse then the time he convinced me that ballet classes would be fun.

"Those classes were pretty cool!" Kuwabara snapped. "It takes a real man to wear tights, y'know! You're just mad 'cause your tutu made ya look fat."

Yuske stared down at him in astonishment. "I didn't say that either!" Then suspiciously, "Are you reading my mind?"

"And how the heck would I do that, genius?"

"I dunno." Yuske poked Kuwabara's head. "What happened to ya anyway?"

"I was just walking," Kuwabara explained, "and then I woke up here." Silence. "Do you really think I can read minds?"

"We can test it." Okay, can you hear me now?

Kuwabara glowered. "Is this a fanfiction or a phone commercial? Say something else."

Well, you can obviously read my mind. Yuske paused. So now what?

"What do you think of Keiko?"

Cute, cute, cute, cute...

"Ha!" Kuwabara beamed. "I knew ya loved her!"

"Hey, don't do that!" Yuske glared. "That's violating my privacy."

Kuwabara stood, and brushed the sand from his pants. Turning, he made his way back to the beach.

"Where are you going?" Yuske ran to catch up with him.

"I've just always wondered," Kuwabara replied, "what exactly a midget fire demon thinks about." He smirked.

"Revenge?" Yuske offered.

"Revenge," Kuwabara agreed.


Oh, the end of another chapter. (Sighs)

This is my very first cliffhanger! Yeah!

Wait, does this even qualify as a cliffhanger? (Shrugs)

Who cares?
