Chapter 24 Dangerous Truths

After being questioned on previous occurrences with a certain red-haired fox, Hiei was ready to choose his next

victim for Circle of Truth Sakyo so gladly changed Truth or Dare to. He eyed everyone intently, thinking--

as to which is rare in this game-- of whom to call upon for a deadly secret store of information. And who better

than to question the most mysterious of the entire group of them all? Looking at his victim stare aimlessly into

space, his mind full, eyes vacant, quiet as usual. He was about to call his name, when the couple who's absence

has been counted for such a long while, showed their faces at the stair's bottom step. They walked quietly over

to the group, and sat on the couch next to his victim. Hiei smiled evilly, staring hard enough that it made him

come from his current dream-like state, and stare back at him. Hiei pointed a finger at the red-haired man, and

said his name aloud.

Hiei- "Kurama."

Kurama's lips became the slightest smirk possible, as he looked at Hiei. His eyebrow was raised ever so slightly,

waiting for his question to come to him. He noticed the strange evil and playful gleam in his partners eyes, and

his right eye gave a slight twitch from the strange look he had recieved.

Hiei- "Kurama, my question to you..."

Hiei was about to unleash his question when he was rudely interrupted by the new arrival of Yusuke Urameshi and

his wife. Hiei looked at Yusuke with a look of hatred, but allowed him to continue anyway.

Yusuke- "Ok, what are we playin'?"

Jynsu- "Circle of Truth."

Kayko- "What the hell is that?"

Sakyo- "Kayko, the rules of the game are..."

Shizuru- "We have to ask eachother questions about anything they want to know. They can ask as many questions,

but they have to correspond with the original question."

Kayko- "Cool."

Yusuke- "Who's turn to ask who?"

Hiei- "It's my turn and I was going to ask Kurama when you so rudely interrupted."

Yusuke- "Ok, calm down three eyes."

Hiei- "As I was saying... Kurama, my question to you..."

The three eyed warrior was again interrupted, but this time it was the sound of someone outside in the water.

They all walked outside to see what it was, when they noticed Genkai swimming in the pool. Yusuke just walked

back in the house, followed by the others. They sat where they had been for the entire game, awaiting Kurama's

question.

Hiei- "Ok, before we continue...If I am interrupted again, I WILL hurt someone. Now, Kurama... I ask you the

simple question of was Jynsu your first?"

Hiei sat back down with a look of contentment on his face. He looked at the ashen Kurama and realized he just

made the biggest mistake of his life. He had always wondered that, but that wasn't the question he wanted to

ask aloud. He looked around to everyone's faces --mostly eager-- with the exception of a Jynsu, himself, and

Kurama. Hiei spoke aloud, changing Kurama's question.

Hiei- "Wait, that was stupid. Everyone knows that kitsune's mate for life. Let me change the question."

Shizuru- "Yeah, that was stupid. Go ahead."

The silent, pale faced Kurama looked up to see Hiei with forgiveness pleading in his eyes. Kurama gave a slight

nod, and Hiei continued his thinking.

Hiei- "Alright Kurama, I have the perfect question. Why is it you're the President of Bakura's fan club?"

Kurama looked at Hiei with utter horror. How did he find out? He had no choice but to answer the question. He took

a deep breath and looked at the people around him. He looked back a Hiei...and if looks could kill, Hiei would be

on the floor in a puddle of blood. He slowly began to answer the question...

Kurama- "Well, it was quite a long time ago when I met Bakura. In all truth we thought eachother to be girls. We

started to hang out more often, but he strayed away from our friendship for Duel Monsters. I was quite crushed. I

heard some of the girls talking about a Bakura fan club, like the one I STILL have. They saw me, and the nearly fell

over. I said that I wanted to be the head of Bakura's fan club, and they agreed in a heart beat."

Hiei- "Why did you WANT to be the head of the fan club?"

Kurama- "Well, I'm not quite sure. I guess to show him we were still friends..."

Hiei- "Then, why did you follow Bakura around with all of the girls?"

Kurama- "Well, I guess for the thrill of the hunt. I found it fun, but hell, I think half of those girls were chasing

me..."

Hiei- "Ok, one last question... DID YOU EVER MAKE OUT WITH BAKURA!?"

Kurama- "NO YOU BASTARD!"

Hiei- "Ok, I'm done."

Kurama- Alright, before I choose a victim, Hiei, how do you know all that? I thought you were too busy having fun

with Shun."

Hiei- "HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT ME AND SHUN!?!"

Kurama- "You're quite an easy person to follow, and Shun's green hair is impossible to miss."

Hiei- "I happen to stalk you so I found about you and Bakura!"

Kurama- "YOU SAY IT LIKE WE'RE GAY LOVERS!"

Hiei- "YOU ARE!!!"

Kurama- "WE ARE NOT!"

Hiei- Sure... I'll just call him and ask him."

Kurama- "WHAT!?"

Hiei- "If you aren't let me call him."

Kurama- "Fine."

Hiei- "Yusuke, get me your phone."

Yusuke- "Ok." ::gets the phone and gives it to Hiei::

Hiei- "Thank you." ::calls Bakura:: "Hey Bakura, I have a question for you..."

Bakura- ::other line:: Who is this?"

Hiei- "It's Hiei, Suichi's friend."

Bakura- "Ok, hello Hiei."

Hiei- "Yeah, hi. Now, just a simple question about Suichi and you."

Bakura- "Ok, go ahead."

Hiei- "Are you two gay lovers?"

Bakura- "Of course not, I'm with Shun."

Hiei- "SHUN!? I'M WITH SHUN!"

Bakura- "No, he left you for me. And I left Suichi for Shun. And I thought you and Suichi were together..."

Hiei- "WHAT!?"

Kurama- ::on another phone:: "BAKURA! I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL!"

Bakura- "WE STILL DO!"

Kurama- "YOU BASTARD! What, was my sexy red hair too much for you!?"

Bakura- "No, but I had an eye on Shun for a while..."

Hiei- "SHUN WAS MINE!"

Bakura- "Now he's mine."

Shun- ::other line at Bakura's:: "I AM NOW BAKURA'S, HIEI!"

Hiei- "Fine then! SUICHI IS MINE THEN!"

Kurama- "What?" O.o

Hiei- "YOU HEARD RIGHT MR. RYOU BAKURA!"

Bakura- "What!? I want Suichi!"

Shun- "Hey asshole, what about me?"

Hiei- "TOO BAD BAKURA! SUICHI IS MINE!"

Bakura- "I want Suichi! You can have Shun!"

Hiei- "Fine."

Shun- "Cool, I'm with Hiei again." ::hangs up::

Bakura- "And I'm with Suichi." ::hangs up::

Kurama- ::hangs up::

Hiei- ::hangs up::

Everybody else- 'O.O'

Hiei- "What?"

Kurama- "Long story."

Hiei- ::hugs back:: "ME TOO!"
