NJ: -RPGing-
Muse: -beating her with a rubber mallet-
NJ: WHAT?!
Muse: The Rekai Tantei-
NJ: Who?
Muse: The bishounen from Yu Yu Hakusho-
NJ: What?
Muse:- ignores her- -are here-
NJ: Where?
Muse: -sticks a 'for rent' sticker on her forehead-
NJ: ...ara..?
Muse: -slaps hand over NJ's mouth- NJ is terribly sorry for the delay and the horrendously incorrect translations of the last chapter. The translator she used was corrupted. And...uh...she lost her hard disk for a few weeks so this chapter was lost. NJ does not own YYH nor Mary. Mary belongs to hazardousToYourHealth, NJ's new beta reader.
NJ: -pulls lever trap door opens underneath muse- ...You're fired. ,,, ENJOY!
This chapter was brought to you by the Queen of Retarded Chickens...
Kurama weaved skillfully through the crowd, always keeping his gaze fixed firmly on the girl he persued, that is, until she entered the place all of the male species fear...No, not the Barbie section of the supermarket, nor the many selections of tampons and personal items adorning shelves upon shelves, but the ladies room. The door swung out after her, the skirted stick figure seemingly mocking the hapless kitsune.
"Damn." He cursed, his thoughts directed solely towards forcing her exit, thus disabling him from making a better expression of disappointment and annoyance. He leaned casually against the smooth marble wall and glared at the opposing door as if daring it to catapult random fangirls at him.
After exhausting plan after plan, Kurama came to one single conclusion;
He had to go where no self respecting man would willingly go. And perhaps he could do it boldly too...
-Meanwhile-
High above the clouds, two females in black soared, their voices carried by the rushing wind,
"Are you SURE you know where you're going, Botan-chan?"
"Absolutely positive!"
"But I'm certain that I've seen that badger-shaped cloud before..."
"Yukina-chan, trust me! I've flown this path thousands of times! I know where I'm going like the back of my hand!" Botan replied confidently, dipping below the clouds to prove her point. Unfortuantely, instead of the vast green meadows that were inhabited by furbies, the infinate ocean met their eyes.
"Erm..." Yukina put her hands on her hips as the ferry girl scratched her head and pondered over their misdirection,
"Let me give you directions; Kurama gave us this map!" Botan sighed in exasperation,
"Alright...if you insist on using that...wretched thing!" Yukina rolled her eyes as she had seen demonstrated many times by Yusuke, and directed that they should return from the way they had come.
-The rest of the tantei-
"URAMESHIIIIIIIIIIII!" Yusuke gritted his teeth as his foot sunk again in the thick mud,
"What.Now?!"
"These-" Kuwabara appeared to slap himself, "-mosquitos are driving me crazy!" Yusuke pulled his foot up again and glared as it made a loud 'SQUELCH' noise. Their trip was supposed to be silent, stealthy, unsuspected, and most of all, discreet, but so far with Koenma's rusty teleportation skills, Kuwabara moaning about everything, and this swamp, even Hiei couldn't slip past the millions of slumbering Furby eyes undetected.
Speaking of Hiei, he was having problems of his own; covered up to the waist in mud, he had taken to swinging from the tree tops, of course that not being the most dignified mode of transportation, he had recieved his fair share of laughter and humiliation. Of course, being the generous fire youkai he is, he delivered more than enough bruises, black eyes and general pain to the two greedy bakas who, no matter how much they recieve, always want more.
"So what do you expect ME to do about it?!"
"YOU're the one who chose to come this way!"
"YOU IDIOT! WE WEREN'T GIVEN A CHOICE!"
"WHO'S THE IDIOT HERE, IDIOT?!"
Hiei dropped from a branch in front of them both,
"If you two imbeciles don't shut.the.hell.up this time, then I'll shut you up PERMANENTLY!"
An overpowering silence filled the air and Hiei turned his back on them, only to hear,
"...Damn you."
"No, damn YOU!"
"YOU!"
"YOU!"
Hiei rubbed his temples, they were driving him insane,
'Where's a sane kitsune when you need one?'
-With the sane kitsune-
Kurama checked his reflection; Badass? Yup. He rocked. Anyway, he made his way to the despicable door and marched right in, fortunately finding no one else in there other than the girl he had sought,
"Excuse me..." the polite wording was immediately undermined with a hungry sort of smirk, and the girl spun around, apparently not recognising the unusualness of the situation. Blonde hair, baggy black pants and a tight red shirt that read 'Do not disturb...I'm disturbed enough!' now became visible, and Kurama resisted a purr of pleasure that he resented for it's feline-ness(1). It took a few moments, but the girl's eyes lit up in a sexy understanding. The ladies room door was mysteriously locked and they took it from there.
-Grim Reaper and Dangerous Maiden-
"Aw, they're so CUTE!" Botan grimaced,
"Yukina-chan, the plan was that we are BAD, not cuddling children's deformed playthings!"
"If you say so, Botan-chan..." Yukina sighed and sprinkled some of the sand onto the furbie in her lap and got up. The furbie quadrupled in size until it grew larger than Kuwabara and grew extra sharp claws, teeth and horns and it's eyes largened visibly with a sickly cute look that seemed vaguely like the traditional puppy-dog expression. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei's voices drew their attention to the three silhouttes on the horizon and Botan cackled madly,
"FLY, FLY MY PRETTIES!" A silence filled only by crickets followed this outburst and the mutated furbies stared at the Deity as she held her arms out as if expecting them to do something,
"Kru? Kuru...?"
"Kree kree!" they said to one another and Yukina had the distinct impression that they thought Botan was insane. Botan coughed loudly,
"Then, 'GO MY EVIL MINIONS OF DARKNESS!' MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The furbies 'moo-ed' and charged at the tantei, and Yukina dragged Botan begind a tree.
"We'll keep out of sight..."
"Yes, until the time is right..."

NJ: I hope that was- yawn - ok, I didn't get much of a chance to put humour into this chapter and Marissa should also reappear soon...Poor Kurama...And don't worry, Mary won't screw up the 'no OC romance policy' cause I've decided that there won't be any romance...except maybe to tease someone -hint hint, nudge, nudge- Anyway, please review and wish me luck on my exams and my piano concert!
