==========================================================
Hueso, Raptor, and Yusuke walked for what seemed like forever, in silence most of the time. They walked past Yusuke's high school, which he worshipped because they made uniforms optional two weeks ago. They stopped when they got to an intersection when they had to cross the street. The stupid light never worked right, so when the cars next to them stopped, they looked at the people curiously. Those people tried to ignore them, gave them dirty looks, and almost all of them locked their doors at the exact same time, making the 'click' painfully obvious. Yusuke laughed at the sound, while Raptor smirked, with the noise his 'almost sonar' kicked in. Raptor now knew that the woman in the nearest car was staring long and hard at them. He exposed his fangs, and took off his sunglasses, showing his white eyes. The woman looked a 'little' frightened, enough to smear the lipstick she was trying to put on. Hueso looked at the sight, made a sound in his throat that sounded like an attempt to not laugh, then pushed Raptor's shades back down so they weren't resting on his head and were back in place. The light finally changed and they walked past the woman's car, and into the more average neighborhood, where none of them resided.
Down the street there were some little kids playing baseball, who moved whenever the occasional car drove by. Yusuke was a little edgy at the sight, having flashbacks of when he died. They walked past the game, and Raptor barely dodged getting hit with the ball by hitting it with his ebony and silver cane. He was then admired at by the kids until the mom of one of them 'shooed' them away. Hueso rolled his eyes and, being the more mellow of the three when dealing with people, dragged the hanyous away from the woman, muttering something about half-breeds.
They finally got to the neighborhood filled with nice big houses, if not huge ones. They walked up to the gate that kept them out. There was a box that had buttons on it that you had to put in a code to open the gate, each house had its own code to open the door. Yusuke pushed four buttons, then came the voice that he hated:
"Access denied."
"Whaddya mean, 'access denied'? That's the stupid code he gave me!" He yelled at the box. He pushed the buttons again.
"Access denied."
"He changed the code, Yusuke." The three turned around. Standing on the other side of the gate with his arms hanging out on the other side, was Kurama. "He changed it yesterday."
"I hate your stepdad." Yusuke said.
"Don't we all?" He smiled, moving away from the gate and walked up to the box on his side, and pushed in a code. The gate moved open respectfully. "He's on a business trip right now. His client got put up for murder."
"Sounds like he's defending himself." Raptor said, walking past Kurama. "C'mon, where's your house?"
============================
"Hey, Youko, how come you surround yourself with morons?" Hueso said quietly, since Kurama's mother was in the kitchen, which was right next to the 'family' room. Some family, a sweet but almost naïve mother, a video game addict brother, a severely dysfunctional stepfather, and a demon for the eldest son. It's how every perfect family was portrayed. Yeah, right.
"I've been around them for so long, why change now?" He joked, eyeing the black shadow looking out the window.
"Hn." Hiei felt Kurama's stare. "You need to get rid of them," He looked at the Cavalier that dropped off the orange-haired Kuwabara. "Starting with this one."
"Hey guys." Kuwabara said, coming inside. He looked around, noticing that the guy with the feather coming out of his head wasn't there, but neither was the other one. The one who called Hueso 'Lord Diablo'. "Where's the guy with the tattoo?"
Hueso shook his head slightly. 'The guy with the tattoo', his name would be 'the guy with no brain', he decided, debating on whether he was serious or not.
"Libra's upstairs, playing some game with Suiichi." Kurama answered.
"He'll come down soon." Hueso said blankly.
"What makes you so sure?" Kuwabara challenged. Just then, upstairs, they could see through the railing that Suiichi's door opened, with Libra struggling to get out. His right arm was being pulled into the room. He put a foot on either side of the door, still pulling.
"C'mon, kid, let go!" He said through gritted teeth, showing his fangs, but Suiichi was too busy looking at the eight-eyed arachnid on Libra's arm.
"Cool tattoo. I want one, but my mom won't let me get one. Suuichi's got one, but mom and dad don't know. He's got it on the back of his right shoulder. I thinks it's a fox with a dying rose in it's mouth, and the rose is bleeding. It's weird. I saw it when he was coming out of our pool."
"That's nice, kid. But let go!"
"I'm not done looking!"
"Look, I'll make you a deal, if you let go, I'll get you a tattoo later, when you're older, 'cause you're only what, ten?"
"Eleven."
"Oh, whatever. But if you don't let go, since you obviously need my arm more than I do," Libra turned his head around as far as he could to see the others downstairs. "Hey! This kid wants my arm! Could one of you come and hack it off for him? And make sure it's messy!"
"Ewww, gross!" Suiichi let go of Libra's arm, causing him to fall down. He closed his door immediately, only an inch away from Libra's face. Libra stood up with a sigh of disgust, dusting himself off for no reason. Then, the door opened again.
"Why are your eyes red? You should buy some of that Clear Eyes stuff, it gets rid of that."
"Actually, Suiichi, what happened was I irritated someone so much that he picked on me until I cried so much my eyes turned red. Then, girls thought my eyes were ugly, so I never got a date, people thought my eyes were scary, so they didn't give me a job, without a job, I won't be able to pay for college, so I won't be able to go to college parties, so I'm even more dateless, and I'll be broke, and die a virgin." Libra smirked. "Because I annoyed a guy as much as you are to me."
"I don't want that." Suiichi shut his door again.
Libra sighed, walking down the stairs. He grabbed one of the dining room chairs, turned it backwards, and sat down.
"You were joking about all that, right?" Kuwabara asked.
"Everything but the no dates and dieing a virgin." Hueso said flatly, when a throw pillow finally lived up to its name. Hueso threw it back to Libra, who threw it at Kuwabara.
"Boys, stop it." Shori said, bringing a pitcher of tea and cups into the room. She looked at Raptor, who didn't have his sunglasses on. He was looking in her direction, following her voice. She looked at her son and mouthed, 'he's blind?' Kurama nodded. "Poor thing." She said where Kurama could barely hear her. Her son had an interesting group of friends. There were those two boys who were in fights at school when they went there, the orphaned Hiei who lived on his own somewhere. And now, there was the blind kid, who was most likely only a year older than Suuichi. And the other two, who had long hair, their eyes, which she had declared must have been contacts, because the red was unreal, like Hiei's, but far more bright, as if he was thinking of something that thrilled him, like a child at Disneyland. And the other, his eyes, they were a haunting steel color, like they were cut out of a sheet of metal, then placed on his eyes. She shook her head. She was too concerned with her son's friends, ever since he disappeared and Takanara hit his head, she was watching him to make sure he was alright. She went into the kitchen to get her keys. "Suiichi, I'm going to go visit your aunt, want to come?"
The youngest Minamono ran down the stairs, and took one look at Libra, shuddered, then went out the door. Shori turned to Kurama and handed him some money. "Here. Order some pizza for you guys, okay? Don't go anywhere."
"You shouldn't have said that, Mrs.Minamono," Raptor spoke in his normal voice that had the tiniest hint of a growl in his voice that went undetected most of the time. "We're a bunch of pizza fiends."
She smiled at Raptor, sort of sadly because of his lack of sight. "I can live with that." She shut the door behind her, and they watched as her car left the driveway.
"You better get meat lovers, Youko, or I'll go insane." Hueso said, taking a sip of his tea.
Kurama smiled at the comment. "No problem."
"Hey, get a pepperoni!" Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted.
"Meat lovers." Libra and Raptor chimed.
"Hiei?" Kurama asked.
"Hn. Whatever." Hiei scoffed, all of this excitement over pizza, it was trivial.
"Cheeseburger, then." Kurama calculated how many pizzas it would take to feed a bunch of ravenous demons and Kuwabara.
==================================
Later...............
"Hiei! You drank the last cherry coke!" Yusuke blurted.
"It's behind you."
Yusuke turned around to see Kuwabara chugging down the soda. He snatched it from him and tried to drink some but it was empty. "Was it worth the pain?"
"What pain?" Kuwabara looked puzzled.
"This!" Yusuke rammed his elbow into Kuwabara's gut, and Kuwabara fell on the couch. He laughed, until Hueso dragged him off so he could sit down.
"Hey, get your own seat!" Kuwabara shouted.
"Just did." Hueso grinned innocently. "Don't see your name."
"Lift the cushion."
Hueso did, and on the tag it said, 'Kuwabara's seat'.
"Damn."
"Hiei tried something like that once to get Kuwabara to move." Kurama said, sitting on another chair.
"Did Hiei move?" Hueso asked, slightly curious.
"Of course not." Hiei muttered.
Knock knock.
Kurama opened the door. He paid the pizza delivery guy and put the boxes on the table. He got out of the way as the others started to fight to get pizza first. Hiei got up from his window and grabbed the box that had the cheeseburger pizza then returned to the window. The others froze and looked at Hiei, who had started eating. Kuwabara moved Libra's foot from millimeters away from his face and put his fist down from nearly connecting with Yusuke's face. "There's only one way to settle this like men."
Raptor just raised a brow. It was dark out now, so he could see,
"Janken." Kuwabara said darkly.
"Not that again." Hiei said from his perch.
"Huh, what're you talkin' about?" Yusuke asked.
"During the tournament, Yusuke, we determined who would fight by playing Janken, while you were, elsewhere." Kurama explained. "Hiei and I lost."
"You guys are friggin' idiots." Yusuke said.
"Let's go." Libra said, interrupting them.
Hueso won first, so he grabbed a box of the meat lovers in its entirety. Then, Raptor won, and took three slices of the other meat pizza, since he doesn't need to 'eat' as much as the others. Yusuke won next, and grabbed the pepperoni box. Then, Libra won, taking what was left of the meat lover's. (Hehe. Kuwabara lost)
"What am I supposed to eat, guys?" He asked.
"Scraps." They all said at the same time.
"Grrrrrr.........I'm making a sandwich." He walked towards the kitchen.
"Here." Yusuke said, offering Kuwabara half of the pepperoni.
"Thanks, Urameshi."
"No problem, I was just messing with you. I can't eat all this."
"We're back." Shori and Suiichi walked in. "I just left seven teenage boys in my house, with pizza money, and I come back, and the house is still in one piece. This has to be a different dimension." She smiled. "It's too strange."
She looked at Hiei, who was staring at her just like he did some other times, she always felt a little nervous when he did that, which was dumb, because he was her sons' age. She shrugged it off before, because her son had comforted her by saying he did it to everyone, and that he could get in a staring contest with a wall and win.
"It was a train wreak, but we had Yusuke clean it up before you got back." Kuwabara said.
"That's good." She yawned, "I'm going to bed, you boys don't stay up too late."
"We won't." Suiichi chirped.
"No, you won't." Kurama corrected his brother. "You're going to bed." Kurama pushed Suiichi to the stairs. "Go. Now."
Suiichi looked at all of his brothers' friends, who had doubled their numbers from last time. He saw Hiei, who scared him because he looked like the kind of guy who'd attack you then ask your comatose body questions later.
"One day, all of my friends will come over, and you'll have to stay in your room." He said before going upstairs.
==============================
"What the hell are all of you doing in my house?" The light in Kurama's room flicked on, showing Takanara standing there, holding a briefcase.
"Sleeping over, what's it look like?" Yusuke mumbled, sitting up from his bed-of-blankets stacked under him.
"Get out." Takanara commanded.
"Hey, nutcase-with-a-briefcase," Libra growled quietly, Takanara couldn't really hear the rumble in Libra's throat. "It's three in the morning."
"Well, it's three in the afternoon in the Caribbean. GO."
"You mentioned it, you go." Hueso sat up, his chest and stomach were butchered, like Kurama's. He glanced at the others. Did these punks have anything better to do other than work on their muscles and scar themselves?
Takanara looked at those two. He had never seen them before, and he didn't want to see them again. He could attack them, but he was outnumbered, and if Suuichi could cut up his own body to blackmail him, then he probably wouldn't have a problem allowing his pals to beat him up. He looked in the corner, where a nightstand used to be, there was another kid he never saw before. He looked at his eyes. White, the kid was blind. Perfect. He walked up to Raptor, feeling the glares of the others on him.
"Got yourself a handicapped friend too, eh, Suuichi?" He grabbed Raptor by his white sleeveless shirt and pulled him to his feet. Raptor remained expressionless. "Is he mute and deaf, too? Heh, nice tattoo." He said, seeing the velociraptor that ran across his chest. "Who lets their blind, deaf, mute kid get a tattoo? How do you know what kind he wants?" He looked behind Raptor, at Kurama's mirror, where he only saw himself and Yusuke sitting on the floor behind him. No Raptor. He looked at the teenager in front of him, whose face was no longer expressionless. He was sneering, showing his sharp fangs. The cloudiness in his pupils faded as they changed from circles to long, thin slits. "What the hell?" He started to back up until Raptor pulled him back towards him. He sniffed Takanara and smirked.
"Cheating on your wife with a bleach blonde, tch, shame on you." He sniffed him again. "Oh, my bad, brunette." He jerked Takanara's head to the side and leaned in to bite, until he felt something cold and sharp against his throat.
"Don't. Not now." Hiei seethed. Takanara backed up slowly, then the katana was against his throat. "You, you are an evil bastard, okay? You're going to take your crap and go back to Kyoto and stay there until I say so. You so much as say 'hello' to that woman over there, your dreams will be so horrid you'll WISH you were dead."
Takanara looked at Hiei's eyes. Suddenly, images of Hiei slicing and burning various menacing creatures went through his head. He looked at Hiei's forehead, he saw a dim glow under the bandanna.
"It's 3:09 in the Carribbean, get going." Hiei said darkly.
Takanara walked to the door, afraid that Hiei would come after him with his katana. He went downstairs and out the door and went in his SUV.
"House key."
Takanara turned around. Hiei was in the backseat. Takanara fumbled with his keys, until Hiei snatched them, took off the trucks' key, and handed it to him. He opened the door and stepped out. He jumped into the tree by Kurama's window, then went in Kurama's room. He drove off, and stopped at the light where someone walked up to his window. He rolled the window. "What do you want, I'm in a bad mood." He looked at the man, he noticed his orange eyes and silver hair.
"You."
"Hate to tell you, pal, but I'm straight."
"Not like that." He grabbed Takanara's head, pulling him just enough. He jabbed his long fangs into his neck, drinking just enough, just enough to help him.

"Sounds like he's defending himself." Raptor said, walking past Kurama. "C'mon, where's your house?"

==================================
Later...............
"Hiei! You drank the last cherry coke!" Yusuke blurted.
"It's behind you."
Yusuke turned around to see Kuwabara chugging down the soda. He snatched it from him and tried to drink some but it was empty. "Was it worth the pain?"

Suiichi looked at all of his brothers' friends, who had doubled their numbers from last time. He saw Hiei, who scared him because he looked like the kind of guy who'd attack you then ask your comatose body questions later.
"One day, all of my friends will come over, and you'll have to stay in your room." He said before going upstairs.

"What the hell are all of you doing in my house?" The light in Kurama's room flicked on, showing Takanara standing there, holding a briefcase.
"Sleeping over, what's it look like?" Yusuke mumbled, sitting up from his bed-of-blankets stacked under him.
"Get out." Takanara commanded.
"Hey, nutcase-with-a-briefcase," Libra growled quietly, Takanara couldn't really hear the rumble in Libra's throat. "It's three in the morning."
"Well, it's three in the afternoon in the Caribbean. GO."
"You mentioned it, you go." Hueso sat up, his chest and stomach were butchered, like Kurama's. He glanced at the others. Did these punks have anything better to do other than work on their muscles and scar themselves?
Takanara looked at those two. He had never seen them before, and he didn't want to see them again. He could attack them, but he was outnumbered, and if Suuichi could cut up his own body to blackmail him, then he probably wouldn't have a problem allowing his pals to beat him up. He looked in the corner, where a nightstand used to be, there was another kid he never saw before. He looked at his eyes. White, the kid was blind. Perfect. He walked up to Raptor, feeling the glares of the others on him.
"Got yourself a handicapped friend too, eh, Suuichi?" He grabbed Raptor by his white sleeveless shirt and pulled him to his feet. Raptor remained expressionless. "Is he mute and deaf, too? Heh, nice tattoo." He said, seeing the velociraptor that ran across his chest. "Who lets their blind, deaf, mute kid get a tattoo? How do you know what kind he wants?" He looked behind Raptor, at Kurama's mirror, where he only saw himself and Yusuke sitting on the floor behind him. No Raptor. He looked at the teenager in front of him, whose face was no longer expressionless. He was sneering, showing his sharp fangs. The cloudiness in his pupils faded as they changed from circles to long, thin slits. "What the hell?" He started to back up until Raptor pulled him back towards him. He sniffed Takanara and smirked.
"Cheating on your wife with a bleach blonde, tch, shame on you." He sniffed him again. "Oh, my bad, brunette." He jerked Takanara's head to the side and leaned in to bite, until he felt something cold and sharp against his throat.
"Don't. Not now." Hiei seethed. Takanara backed up slowly, then the katana was against his throat. "You, you are an evil bastard, okay? You're going to take your crap and go back to Kyoto and stay there until I say so. You so much as say 'hello' to that woman over there, your dreams will be so horrid you'll WISH you were dead."
Takanara looked at Hiei's eyes. Suddenly, images of Hiei slicing and burning various menacing creatures went through his head. He looked at Hiei's forehead, he saw a dim glow under the bandanna.
"It's 3:09 in the Carribbean, get going." Hiei said darkly.
Takanara walked to the door, afraid that Hiei would come after him with his katana. He went downstairs and out the door and went in his SUV.
"House key."
Takanara turned around. Hiei was in the backseat. Takanara fumbled with his keys, until Hiei snatched them, took off the trucks' key, and handed it to him. He opened the door and stepped out. He jumped into the tree by Kurama's window, then went in Kurama's room. He drove off, and stopped at the light where someone walked up to his window. He rolled the window. "What do you want, I'm in a bad mood." He looked at the man, he noticed his orange eyes and silver hair.
"You."
"Hate to tell you, pal, but I'm straight."
"Not like that." He grabbed Takanara's head, pulling him just enough. He jabbed his long fangs into his neck, drinking just enough, just enough to help him.
