The Day of Doom

It was late at night and Hiei was sleeping in his bed. A shadow approaches him. "Wake up," the voice booms. Hiei jumps up scared out of pajamas. The shadow brings the top of a rei gun down hard on Hiei's head. Hiei falls down. The shadow starts to laugh and smiles an evil grin. Kurama hears Hiei fall and runs to his room. In an instance the shadow is gone. Later on, in the hospital, Hiei lies on the hospital bed with a large bandage on his head. He is still unconscious. Kurama paces back and forth in the hall. "What could have happened," he asks himself? He tries to keep telling himself that he fell off the bed. Kurama gets a bad feeling in his stomach. He thinks it's just his gut. Then all of a sudden he finds himself getting off the floor surrounded by his vomit. How could he have fallen? He must have tripped. "But over what," he asks, "over what?"

Hiei finally wakes up. They let him leave the hospital if he promises to stay in bed. Hiei promises and leaves the room. He finds Kurama in a struggle with his thoughts. He hides behind Kurama's chair and jumps up. Kurama, scared to death, falls down off the chair and runs into the girl's bathroom. Hiei cracks up as he watches Kurama walk angrily out of the bathroom. Hiei and Kurama drive home in complete silence. Finally Kurama speaks up as they turn a corner. "What happened to you last night?" Hiei slowly responds, "If I told you .....you wouldn't believe me." "Sure I would," Kurama says confidently, "we have been friends a long time. There would be nothing I wouldn't believe if you told me." Hiei finally gives in. "A shadow hit me with your rei gun." "What are you trying to say," Kurama defends himself, "Do you think that I hit you." "No, not at all but I know it was your gun." They both step out of the car. Hiei urges Kurama to check for his gun as soon as they get inside. Kurama, knowing that he has his gun, says sure and even wants to bet. "I'll make you a deal. If it's not in here I'll give you $75." Hiei quickly agrees and proceeds in following Kurama inside. "Wait," Kurama says, "You stay outside. I'm not saying you'll cheat but I just want to make sure I don't loose $75." Hiei nods his head and stays outside. Kurama calmly walks to where he keeps his rei gun. He is startled to find it's not there. He runs all around the house for thirty minutes looking for it and finds it missing. He has no one to blame but himself. Kurama knows he should have trusted Hiei. Now he lost a trusted friend, a rei gun, and 75 bucks. Today is truly a bad day.
