Kyoki: I hope you're happy, fox-boy.
Kurama: yes. Yes I am.
Rin: Chapter 6 ladies and gents!
Ryoku: WOOT to the chappie!
Hiei: just get on with it.
Chapter six: Talking to Dad
"Hello? Daddy?"
"Hello Rin. How are you?"
Rin hated the way he said that. Like, she was just some old friend he sees every day.
"Fine."
"You don't sound fine."
"How long are you going to be gone this time? Kurama said a week."
"I'm afraid it's going to be longer than that."
"What?! How long?!"
"A few months."
"Dad! You promised! How could you do this to me?!"
"I'm sorry, but my boss says I have to stay or I'll be out of a job to support you."
"I don't care! I need you hear!"
"Calm down Rin. It doesn't become you."
"How can you be worried about that?!"
"I'm not. I just don't want you to be this stressed. It's not good for you."
"If you'd be home a little more maybe I'd be less stressed!"
"Can you really blame me, Rin?"
"Yes."
She hung up the phone quickly, holding back tears. She slowly walked to the table and laid her head down. Karasu walked over to the table after he had paid for the food. He looked at Rin.
"Rin? Are you okay?"
Rin nodded.
"How was the conversation with your dad?"
Rin automatically started crying. She never cried this hard in front of anyone. She felt like a baby.
"Rin? Rin, what's wrong?"
She buried her face in her hands.
"Cry, Rin. You've needed to for a long time." He said patting her back.
Rin cried so hard. But it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. It felt good.
Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Hiei was sitting in his bedroom with his sword in his hand, eyes glued to the television, which was playing the Matrix. He laughed like an idiot when someone got killed. Kurama was down in the kitchen.
"Hiei?!" he called.
"What?!" Hiei answered.
"Do you want any popcorn?"
"What?!"
"I said: Do you want any popcorn?!"
"Does my foot have a corn?!"
"Popcorn! Do you want any popcorn!!!???"
"Wake up early in the morn?! Why?! I already did!"
"NOOOO!!!! Do you want any popcorn?!"
"What do you mean I look at porn?!" Kurama couldn't take this anymore.
He marched up to Hiei's room, Opened the door, and repeatedly whacked him with a random pillow.
"Popcorn! Popcorn! POPCORN!!! Can you here me now?! GOOD!!!"
Hiei sat on his bed, wide-eyed and shocked beyond reason. And plus he was just hit with a pillow with a block of lead in it.
"Yes... I would like some popcorn. What are you yelling at me for?!"
"GRRRR!!!!!"
Kurama marched back down the stairs, into the kitchen, made a bowl of popcorn, marched back up the stairs, into Hiei's room, shoved the bowl of popcorn into Hiei's hands, and marched back down stairs cursing.
Hiei sat there bewildered.
"I wonder what he was so pissed of about? Ah, well. At least I got my popcorn!"
Hiei began to eat the popcorn.
"Ha Ha! You died smith... MWAHAHA!!" He laughed pointing at the screen laughing like an idiot.
Kurama was reading a book, listening to the fire demon.
"Oy.."
That evening...
"Rin, how was your day?"
"Good, I guess.... Odd.... But good."
"How so?"
Hiei butted in while trying to eat his soup.
"Why ask? She is weird."
"Hiei. Stop it."
"Say that again, lame-brain." Rin snapped.
"My pleasure, midget."
"You should talk!!!"
"I am talking, stupid."
Kurama, out of frustration, stood up.
"BOTH OF YOU!!"
They both stopped and starred at the frustrated dkitsune.
"Thank you."
Kurama sat back down and ate the rest of his food.
"Hiei, please do the dishes."
"Make her do it!"
"No."
"You owe me, you hear that!?"
"Now would be nice, Hiei."
"GRR!! Damn it all."
Rin stuck her tongue out at him.
"Rin, please help him."
"What?!"
Kyoki: Well, there you have it! Chapter 6!
Rin: I loved it!
Hiei: I didn't! I had to do dishes!
Rin: So did I!
Kyoki: if they fight... Kurama might pay more attention to the instead of me! So I may not have to write the next-
Kurama: Kyoki?
Kyoki: I know, I know.
