Chapter 07: Lots

"So, uh, how're we gonna do this?" Kuwabara asked. The five of them were supposed to be deciding whick two of them were going to witness the interrogation of the captives.

"Uhm... Rock-paper-scissors?" Thia suggested, and Kuwabara cracked his knuckles happily.

"No way! Kuwabara never loses at that game!" Yusuke exclaimed.

"Shut up-"

"No you shut-" And then they began to brawl.

Kurama, Hiei, and Thia sweat-dropped.

"This is insane. How about a card game? Wait, no one has any cards." Thia thought a moment.

"How about a last-two-men-standing fight?" Yusuke suggested from where he was trying to get a better angle at punching Kuwabara.

"One problem with that, genius. Me. You know. A girl."

"Who cares ab-"

Whap!

"Any better suggestions?" the girl asked, a tic pulsing in her forehead. (a.n.: coughSanzocough)

"Slips of paper in a hat. Two of them are marked, the others are not. The ones with marks go, the others go to class," was Kurama's idea.

"Hey! You took that from Genkai's thingamabob!" yelled the carrot-haired one.

Kurama's eyebrow twitched. "I did no such thing."

"Yeah, you did!"

"No, I didn't."

"Yup, ya did!"

Kurama gave up on verbally denying it. Rather, he had a narrow-eyed 'I-can-kill-you-faster-than-the-blink-of-an-eye-and-if-you-don't-shut-up-I'll-do-it' look on his face.

For once, Kuwabara took the hint.

"All right, everything's here. Now watch as I shake it up so don't even try to tell me that I'm cheating, hear? Okay, Hiei first, Kurama, Kuwabara, me, and Yusuke. In alphabetical order."

"But Kuwabara's not his first name," Yusuke pointed out.

"If you think I care, you're sorely mistaken. Now c'mon."

One by one, like docile little schoolchildren, they picked out their slips of paper.

"WOOHOO! EAT MY PAPER, URAMESHI!" Kuwabara whooped, and showed them a slip of parchment with a 'Celebrate! You're a Winner!' scrawled on it.

"I will!" And with that, Yusuke snatched the paper out of the carrot-haired boy's hand and threw it into his mouth. Kuwabara threw the first punch.

Thia shielded her eyes with one hand and the three of them sweat-dropped.

"Good Lord, can they do nothing but start fights with one another?" Thia asked.

"Their love-hate relationship is unbearably annoying," Hiei conceded.

"So who got the other one?"

"I did. Unfortunately," answered Kurama, looking a bit miserable. Hiei looked like he was going to gloat about his friend's unluckiness.

Author's Notes: There you are. You requested it and I answered. Short and to the point. Review, whatever, whatever. Ummm... To make this a 2-4-1 or not to make this a 2-4-1... that is the question...Okay! Heeere we go! (BTW, I'm sorry if I'm updating too fast for some people... I'm just feeling a little nuts at the moment.)
