Fact of the day: Names.
Youko isn't Youko Kurama's name at all. In fact it means (roughly) 'side'. So 'side Kurama' or his alter ego sort of thing. As far as I know, Youko has never been named...
Kurama means 'car'
Shuiichi is 'Dennis'
Hiei's name has been argued that it means flying shadow or some say the beginning is 'fire'...(though fire is 'bi' not 'hi')
These translations have come through research, for I don't claim to be able to speak or write Japanese. If my sources are in any way incorrect, please inform me and I will change it. However, these sources have been confirmed, so I will need multiple confirmations from you as well. Also, please DO NOT just copy and paste these and claim them as your own...That is all. Thank you
NJ: Ano...I'm still getting threats from the reviewers, Jujik...
Jujik: ::is sitting cross-legged atop my wardrobe:: Meh...What are they for? 'If you don't stop writing we'll do something nasty to you?'
NJ: No...They want me to write...
Jujik: ::falls from his perch:: No way! Let me see those! ::reads reviews and pales:: You strange woman...
NJ: ::grins:: Why thank you
Jujik: NJ doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any official merchandise either...nor do I own Furbies (or wish to)
NJ: I would also like to thank all of my wonderful reviewers and I would answer all of your reviews if I was allowed by to do so...as it happens, I'm not, but I can answer questions and such...so I will do four very important shout outs!
To
HazardousToYourHealth: Hey DP, I'm updating just like I said I would! ::ROTFL:: I can't help it! Your reviews just crack me up every time!
Youko/Kurama's Rose: Y/KR, I present you with Marissa...Have fun! runs away
Me: A mary-sue is a perfect original character (or self insert) but there are so many variations that it would take me ages to explain...They are perfect and they are identical to one another, they cause the main characters to fall immediately in love with them and usually completely warp everybody's personality to suit them...If you're interested in more info and demonstrations and such you can go to my WIP (work in progress) fic 'NJ's Guide to the Mary-Sue'. I hope that explanation helps!
Wild Roses: - If you ever do that fanart, send it to me, K?
Cooldude: wow...I really appreciate your help and those really neat ideas! Thanx!
NJ: On with the fic!
Chapter 4: Reasons, Revelations and Friends gone Mad!
Silence echoed off the walls as the foxy fox stepped into the room, motorcycle in the hallway causing chaos within the oni (ogre) ranks. Koenma's pupils dilated a split second before he fell to the floor from his chair. Kurama looked confused for a second, then dismissed it as a case of baka induced insanity and stepped over the rulers limp form and sat in his chair.
Comfortable?
'Very'
We could have had this from the beginning had you followed my instructions...
'Shut up, Youko. I was not going to...to...do that just to be here...'
Why? I used to do it all the time...
'Exactly.'
Ah...Souka... (I see...) You pansified loser...
'Shut up!'
Heh...
Meanwhile, outside our schizophrenic Fox's head, everybody was waking from their sudden dazed stupor. Yusuke and Kuwabara were trembling in fear and Hiei was having trouble comprehending just what the hell was going on. This was just too much.
Fox- I mean Kurama began sifting through the papers covering Koenma's desk and found some interesting documents. He read out loud,
Name: Urameshi Yusuke
Age: 14
Status: Baka
Name: Kazuma Kuwabara
Age: 14
Status: Even worse
Name: Hiei
Age: ?
Height: 4'10 (Yusuke and Kuwabara snickered quietly and Hiei cuffed them upside their heads. He had vowed to kill the Kitsune first.)
Status: Stuck up, arrogant, idiot.
Name: Kurama-
Kurama fed the papers to the man-eating plant that had just suspiciously appeared. Koenma had apparently regained consciousness and looked quite peeved about the whole thing,
"KURAMA! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"That you are a loser and I am awesome?"
Koenma looked as though he was about to retort, but blinked,
"What?"
"You asked what the meaning was, and I told you, idiot. Or do you need a hearing aid? You.Are.A.Loser. Get over it." Koenma gaped at the usually polite kitsune, while the usually polite kitsune shuffled through some more documents.
"How am I a loser?!" A bit of a delayed reaction, but a reaction all the same from the chibi prince. Kurama chuckled a little,
"Are you sitting here, bossing everyone around, oh prince of baka-ness? Botan should be in charge here, not you...Oh, have you seen her make over yet?" The thief's grin was sly and Koenma paled. The previously forgotten part of the Tantei came back into existence,
"She's gone nuts!"
"Not as much as my Yukina-chan!"
"...Are you saying Yukina's gone crazy?..." Yusuke asked the baka,
"Yeah! She froze me!"
"He said it, not me Hiei! Kill him!" The baka's unknowing statement brought him much pain that day via a katana and an enraged brother.
After the humorous fight, Koenma coughed loudly,
"Alright, if I could sit in my chair I would tell you your mission, but since I can't thanks to some kitsune, you-"
"We get the day off?" Yusuke suggested hopefully. Koenma looked in thought for a moment or two,
"...NO! BWAHAHA! I WILL HAVE YOU CLEAN THE REKAI'S LAVATORIES! ALL 974 OF THEM!" He burst into insane laughter. Kurama looked bored and that's never a good sign...
He picked Koenma up and hung him on his man-eating plant that seemed to have taken permanent residence beside the desk, "HEY! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN AT ONCE!"
"No. And don't think about changing forms either...my death plant here is on a diet. You don't realize how tempting that would be for it." Koenma gulped audibly.
"The mission is in the bottom drawer..."
"This one? What kind of mockery is this? We don't have time for weaklings such as this..." Kurama indicated the file in his hand.
"Eh? They surely can't be that weak for you to reject them, Kurama..." Yusuke said, quickly overcoming his initial shock, but it returned once Kurama turned to him.
"Kurama's gone dark..." a file was flung at his head and Kuwabara opened it,
"Aww, aren't they cute?" Kuwabara said pointing out little fluffy furbie like creatures on the front page,
"What are those...disgusting...creatures?!" It was Hiei's turn to snap out of it,
"They...ungh...are mutations...of the...gah...popular children's toy... furbies!" Koenma squeaked and was turning around like a pendulum from where he hung on the plants teeth.
"Ha! You deal with the problem. I'm outta here...and I'm taking this with me!" he showed them the super-ultra deluxe credit card,
"NOOOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! IT'S STILL BEING TESTED!"
"Don't worry, I'll test it for you..." Kurama laughed and disappeared out of the doorway. They heard the roar of an engine and the screech of tyres as the motorcycle whirred down the hallway.
"Guys...I'm scared of Kurama..." Kuwabara whimpered as they heard the maniacal laughter echo into the room,
"I know, Kuwabara...we all are..."
Koenma moaned,
"GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"
Botan and Yukina were in a mall in the Ningenkai, when Kurama came up behind them and put his arms around their necks,
"Afternoon, ladies..."
"Did all go according to plan?" Botan asked him slyly,
"Indeed, it did...And you might be interested to know that later this afternoon the rest of the tantei will be fighting off some killer furbie threat..."
"Really? Why aren't you with them? I thought you wanted to give them the 'bad-ass-impression'..." Kurama smiled at Yukina,
"I had a better idea...why don't you use this to show them your skills...?" he placed a bottle of neon green sand on the ice cream table that they had sat down at.
"What exactly is 'it'"
"Why Botan! If you think the furbies..." he handed them the file, "are mutated now, see what happens when you sprinkle this stuff on them..." Botan's eyes widened slightly behind her sunglasses, and she grinned,
"We'll make this a little more interesting for the tantei, shall we?" Yukina grinned back, but Kurama's eyes were elsewhere...say, a young lady? And her cough behind? Botan nudged Kurama in the ribs, making him take his gorgeous green eyes off his target,
"What?!"
"Shall we?"
"Uh...yeah...just bear in mind that you might have to rescue them afterwards..."
"Aren't you coming, Kurama?" Kurama looked slightly dazed when he replied,
"Yeah...I'll be with you a bit later...see ya..." he got up and followed the girl who had moved off. Botan snorted,
"Let's go sabotage..."
Tsuzuku...
