Chapter 7

Still the same day... 12:27pm...

Yukina-kun: I just read the last chapter and I think that I messed it up a bit...

Hiei reads chapter.

Hiei: Yeah, I think you did.

Authoress: I feel like I made the plot go terribly wrong and downside.

Hiei: Like...

Authoress and Yukina-kun shrugs shoulders.

Authoress: Anyways, on with the story! Oh yeah! I was wrong. Shade was the Author of Shadowed Past! My one of the two of my favorite stories!

Chapter 7

"Where were you guys anyway?" Yusuke asked. He looked at Alexis whom Kurama was carrying. Hiei had a little wound on his shoulder that stung.

"Don't ask." Hiei said as he walked past Yusuke holding his injured arm to the camp.

"Can I ask you Kurama?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

"Well..."

"Why is Alexis there?" Yusuke asked, "Oh no, don't tell me she fainted seeing another dead ant!"

"Something like that." Kurama said as he carried Alexis and made her lie down beside Hiei who was sitting placing a bandage over his injured arm. (Oh yeah, it is really early morning that there is light but you still use the campfire)

Hiei made a motion of trying to scurry away from Alexis however the pain in his arm refrained him from doing so. Kuwabara was still in his sleeping bag sleeping cozily.

"So, what happened?" Yusuke pestered.

"Like I said detective: Don't ask." Hiei said.

"Did something big happen?" Yusuke asked hopefully.

"No." Hiei said. Slowly Alexis began to stir. Hiei looked fearfully at the awakening Alexis and made a move again to disappear and the arm STILL refrained him from doing so.

Alexis rubbed her eyes and looked at Hiei. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" her voice was deafening. Kuwabara however, managed to stay asleep as he survived louder alarm clocks than that.

"Hn." Hiei said as he crossed his arms trying to take away the fact that his arm was paining him so.

"THE BOGEYMAN!" she shouted before fainting again. Yusuke blinked.

"That was what happened awhile ago?" Yusuke said grinning a bit. (And you readers expected more...)

"Do you have a problem detective?" Hiei said.

"Ha!" Yusuke said, "I mean, I could have called you an oaf or shorty or pie-face but THE BOGEYMAN? Hwahahahahahaha! That was the greatest thing I heard in years!"

"Hn." Hiei said. Kurama chuckled. He knew his friend and it was something more than that.

"What?" Hiei said as he looked at Kurama who was staring at him grinning while Yusuke was awakening Kuwabara so Kuwabara could hear the good news.

"Oh nothing." Kurama said as he tried to supress a smile.

"Kitsune, I have known you for years so do not dare think that I do not know if you know something that I don't." Hiei said angrily.

"...?" Kurama.

Hiei growled angrily. "Never mind..."

***
"Ew! Ew! Ew!" Alexis kept shouting. She was being carried again by Yusuke with Hiei following them closely behind. Kurama and Kuwabara were ahead slashing the way. Hiei decided he could not take it anymore so he helped Kurama and Kuwabara.

"EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" She shouted aloud.

"Alexis!" Hiei called, "Do you know the difference between a tiny lizard and a harmless fly? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that that is a very tiny lizard and a very tiny fly."

"EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!" Alexis shouted again as she swatted the lizard and the fly away leaving her for all eternity.

"ALEXIS!" Hiei shouted from in front.

"What?" Alexis said.

"For once in your life, close your mouth." Hiei said.

"Ok." Alexis said. She closed her mouth for three seconds before yodeling out again. "GROSS! Yusuke! Don't touch that leaf! It might have bacteria on it! I don't want to have bacteria!"

Yusuke grumbled and threw the leaf away.

"Hey! That was not nice!" Alexis shouted as she hit him in the head.

"What did I do now?" Yusuke said.

"You threw the leaf!" Alexis said. "That leaf might have feelings! It must have gotten hurt when you threw it! You shouldn't go on treating leaves like that!"

Hiei suddenly reappeared in front of them with Hiei standing on a rock so in one way or the other, he could stare at Alexis eye to eye. "Do you know what this is?" Hiei said madly while shoving papaya leaves.

"No..." Alexis said, "Like what do I care?" she said as she crossed her arms.

"Big." Hiei said as he brushed the leaves madly in her face. "These particular leaves are very POISONOUS! Do you understand Alexis? POISONOUS!"

"It is?" Yusuke squeaked from under. Hiei gave him a look that said no.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Shoo! Shoo!" Alexis shouted while disintegrating the leaves with her fingers.

"And here you were saying that leaves have feelings..." Hiei muttered.

"EW! EW! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!" Alexis squealed as a harmless fly passed by.

"Yusuke, make her walk." Hiei said.

"What?" Yusuke said.

"You heard what I said, I said, make her walk." Hiei said.

"Ok." Yusuke said as he tried taking Alexis out from his shoulders.

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Alexis squealed loud as she clung to Yusuke's hair.

"Ow! Ow!" Yusuke said.

"I'll help." Hiei said as he took Alexis' hand and told her, "Let him go."

"No."

"You will."

"No."

"I said you will."

"No."

"Hiei," Yusuke said, "It's not working. She's clinging to my hair even tighter."

"Alexis, I'm warning you."

"No!"

"Ow!" Yusuke said.

"Alexis. Do. It."

"No!" Alexis said," Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin."

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and blow you out there." Hiei said sarcastically.

"BOOOOOOM!" Yusuke said.

Alexis and Hiei looked at Yusuke confuse.

"What?" Yusuke said, "I thought you blew the house already?"

***
"This is it." Kurama said, "The Fort."

"Ok." Alexis said. "Oh no! Don't tell me we are going in there? No way! No way!" Alexis said as she used her arms to make a cross. "I mean who wants to go in an A.O.C.?"

"A.O.C.?" Kurama and the others asked.

"Yeah, as in an Abandoned Old Castle. DUH!" She said as she flung her hair over her shoulders. The YYH gang's sweat dropped.

(Guess what, I'm only a line to the sixth page... sniff... haven't even reached the 8th page.)

(In my sixth page...)

(Again, writer's block...)

"So what are we expecting here?" Hiei asked.

Yusuke shrugged his shoulders. "Koenma told me to call him when we reach here."

"Just like him." Hiei said.

"Hey shrimp!" Kuwabara shouted, "I mean, sorry, I meant the BOGEYMAN!"

"Do not test my patience Kuwabaka." Hiei said.

"AAHH!! The Bogeyman! Help!" Kuwabara shouted 'frantically'.

"Sush!" Yusuke said as a loud thud indicated that Hiei hit Kuwabara to the trunk of a tree. "I'm calling Koenma in here."

"Koenma?" Alexis said. "Wait for me!" she shouted as she ran to Yusuke and Kurama.

"Ah, you're all there already." the toddler said. "I was beginning to think something bad happened to you all."

"Koenma!" Alexis shouted shoving Yusuke out of view.

"Ah, Alexis." Koenma said.

"Koenma!!!" Alexis said as she was shaking the transmitter of Yusuke, "Get me out of here! Fetch me! I do not like it here! Everyone is ganging up on me!"

"We are?" Kurama asked thoughtfully.

"Sorry Alexis. I do not know any transportation to bring you back here fast." Koenma said.

"Send your people here! Like the what's that again? Ah, the Special Units Force! Bring them here! I need to get out from the V.B.F., R.G.W.R.W, O.H., and the L.D.!"

"Huh?" Koenma said.

"The Very Black Figure! The Red Guy With Rose Whip! The Orange- Haired! And the Little Detective!" Alexis shouted.

"Little Detective?" Yusuke muttered under his breath.

"Hm, I think I really like the names you gave them." Koenma said thoughtfully.

"Get me out here P.B.T.!" Alexis shouted to Koenma.

"P.B.T.?" Koenma said as he raised an eyebrow.

"Pacifier Breath Toddler!" she shouted.

"I like that name." Hiei said.

"Thank you." Alexis said.

"Can we get to the mission?" Koenma asked.

"Sure thing P.B.T." Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara said.

"Anyway, that is not an abandoned castle." Koenma said.

"You mean it is a F.H.C?" Alexis asked.

"F.H.C.?"

"Yeah, like Full House Castle." Alexis said rolling her eyes.

"Oh."

"The mission?" Hiei said impatiently.

"Oh yeah, you have to go in that castle." Koenma said.

"So what? Is it an A.O.C. or an F.H.C.?" Alexis asked impatiently.

"Anything your little heart desires." Koenma said. "So anyway... that castle belongs to a very rich business man and has opened up a legal portal in there."

"The point?"

"This man is very rich, acquired acres of land and has many of followers." Koenma said, "If you put it all together and he is strong enough to build his own kingdom."

"The threat is the kingdom?" Hiei said doubtfully.

"No." Koenma said, "The threat is that this man is old though not feeble. He has gained certain allies and the fact is the Spirit World is not one of them."

"You want us to be diplomats?" Yusuke said, "Sorry Koenma, never did well in school."

"The fact is, certain demons have been using him since he is old." Koenma continued, "He has now decided to give his whole wealth to someone."

"So your saying that we, people who have not yet met him, can do it?" Kuwabara asked as he rubbed his head.

"If it deals with enough money to supply me a lifetime, count me in." Hiei said.

"Alexis will do it." Koenma said.

"Me?" Alexis said, "I'll talk with that O.G.?"

"Ogre?" Hiei asked.

"Oh Great?" Kurama suggested.

"Overly Gifted?" Yusuke said in an effort to say at least something.

"Orange Goods?" Kuwabara asked.

"No!" Alexis said as she fanned herself with her hands, "Like Old Guy!"

"Why did I not think of that?" Yusuke said.

"What does Alexis have to do with all this?" Hiei asked impatiently.

"She has a relation to him however Alexis' father never met him but I think that guy knows Alexis." Koenma said.

"I wanna go home!" Alexis said.

"Just pass by that house Alexis and then you can go home."

"Promise?"

"Yes."

"But I miss my H.S.H.!!!! I miss my L.D.!!!!" Alexis said.

"Huh?"

"I miss my Home Sweet Home and my Lovable Daddy!" she wailed.

"Alexis, can you speak like ordinary human beings?" Hiei suggested.

"No way!" she said.

"And why not?" Kuwabara asked.

"Because it is so V.E.V." she said as she twirled her hair in her fingers.

"Um, V.E.V.?" Hiei asked.

"Yeah!" Alexis said, "As in Very English Version!"

This time, no one chose to comment.
