Disclaimer: Hey all you beautiful people, wassup'?? I couldn't think of any other greeting, so I just stuck with my original phrase, so give me a break here. And anywayz, it seems as though this story is starting to move along pretty quickly for a girl that just fell out of the sky..but whatever. Plus I WILL like to give-out that another tournament's gonna' be underway soon, so I can ALMOST guarantee that these chapters will kinda' seem like actual YYH-episodes in a way..but that's only if you take the time to get into it enough..Alright, alright I'm done talking now, so let's see what else is in store for my character in this story..
Chapter 9: Home-Delivery..Saturday, 12/11/04', 9:56 pm, ( Base-Floor ):
Hmm, let's see what's happened to me so far..First, I got sucked into my tv and landed in this show, second, I dropped outta' the sky and woke-up in a park the next day, ended up meeting Yusuke and Keiko technically by (accident). Then, I met the 1st half of the gang in an ice-cream parlor. Tried my luck, and got rewarded by pisssing-off Hiei, (without) getting my ass-kicked. Telling a whole bunch of lies about my friends being demons sorta' along with myself. Got talked into fighting one of the spirit-detectives, and WON. Managed to impress almost everyone but Hiei. Then, finally got moved-up to the rank as the 5th member and fighter of Team Urameshi by Koenma. With the voice in the back of my head as a bonus..gee, and to think I never asked for any of this in the first place..
"Okay people I gotta' go and get back upstairs to my room before Keiko calls me, and tells me off for staying up late again..", Yusuke' said bitterly when Kuwabara's wrist-watch had set-off, and flashed 9:58 on his digital clock.
"Awww, what's wrong Urameshi?, staying up past your bedtime??", Kuwabara had been obviously intrieged at the fact that Keiko had been starting to keep track of how long our favorite delinquent is supposed to stay up at night, and began to taunt him for it.
"SHUT UP!!, you know perfectly well that I barely have a choice with her on my back, all hours of the day!!", Yusuke' shot back, trying to somehow shut the idiot up, but apparently leading to no effect whatsoever.
"You know Kuwabara, you should really just leave him alone..cause' afterall, isn't HE the one providing a place for your sorry ass to stay for the night?", I said, giving him a little taste of the smartass I really was. And overall to get his annoying voice outta' my head, god-damnit he's giving me a headache' already..argh, and I thought I just got over the last one.
"She has a point you know", Hiei sneered at the baka's pathetic look of aggravation while saying this. And then merely stepping to the side when Kuwabara charged at him, and crashing head first into the back wall..idiot.
"Hello everyone!!", called an overly cheerful voice coming from somewhere above us. Only to be shortly afterward identified as Botan, who was supprisingly enough levitating her oar a couple feet off the ground, and looking down at us all..what can she possibly want from us AT THIS HOUR??!!
"Oh just great, of all freakin' times to have un-wanted company..", Yusuke' replied sourly to this, and ESPECIALLY when his former spirit-beast upstairs flew down to our level, and took refuge on the top of his head, instantly causing Yusuke' to send an inviting death-glare up at Puu.
"I'm assuming that Koenma must have forgotten to mention something, and sent Botan down on his behalf", Kurama sweat-dropped while trying to take in the scene up top, as several bags of dis-guarded luggage were magically dumped out of the ceiling. Strongly giving the impression of homing missiles being dropped outta' the sky, how ironic.
"Well yes, there's no doubt that you're right Kurama..Koenma does have a knack for doing things on such short notice", the bubbly grim reaper shrugged, and tried to laugh it off key, when the only noise heard was a Puu in response. (me: and if you people want this whole scene to seem more like an episode, just imagine that song that plays whenever Kuwabara does something REALLY stupid, playing in the background.)
"So what does passifier-breath want??..and most importantly, what's up with all the luggage??", Yusuke' asked her in his confusion, while looking up puzzled at the last bits of suit-cases that fell onto the ground a couple of feet away, with him and Kurama almost getting hit by a paticularly large one in the process.
"Well umm you see..Koenma forgot to tell you Yusuke' that Kammy' is to stay with you, until he finds a suitable place for her to stay", Botan let out nervously, scratching the back of her head, and probally wondering why HER out of all people to tell us this..plus besides the fact that she could have sworn steam was coming out of Yusuke's ears at this point, not a good sign.
"WHAT THE HELL??!!, WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO STAY WITH ME?!!, WHY NOT KURAMA OR KUWABARA?!! YOU'RE ALL AGAINST ME NOW, HUH??!!", Yusuke' ordered an immediate explanation out of Botan that second..with her looking like she had enough of this already.
"Hey don't look at me!, Koenma's the one who said that she had to stay with you!, so you might as well just ask him the next time he comes around, not put it out on all me!", Botan's whimpering was sadly her only line of self-defense, while she retreated farther up on her oar, to prevent Yusuke' from towering over her small frame.
"So that explains all that stuff over there then?", Yusuke' nodded his head towars all of the lone baggages scattered in random spots on the other half of the area. Ha, now I know why my mom always reminds me to get rid of some of my stuff..
"Yea, I guess all of this stuff is mine..never really noticed how much stuff I had until now tho", I said, cracking a half-smile, and walking over to the closest bag, and trying to predict what was inside it.
"And you expect me to help you, after that stunt that you just pulled a couple of hours ago?, I don't think it as: common courtesy", Hiei shot bitterly, STILL not seeming to forget what I had referred him to a little while back..gee, ever CONSIDER putting some stuff behind you every so often??
"What's past is past, so get over it. And why are you being so defensive over something that I never even asked you to do anyway??", I responded calmly back to his comment, and giving him some slight eye-contact so he knew that I wasn't trying to avoid his gaze.
"You were about to ask me, so I'm giving you an answer", Hiei replied, trying to match my tone of voice, still giving me a cold, hard crimson stare. So in other words, we were equal here.
"And how would you know?, let alone care to say the least.." (me: these are back-to-back responses people, so there's little to report on what our actions are, so I'm just gonna' cut that part off for now.)
"Simple, in your mind you were going back and forth trying to decide who to ask to help you, and since I was nearest, chose me..and once again, I'm rejecting it."
"Okay you knew what I was thinking, big deal. And what exactly interested you to the point of considering listening to my thoughts, Hiei??"
"That's none of your business, onna'.."
"Oh but it is Hiei, I mean it is MY mind afterall, so in other words..I have every right to know what sparked your anticipation.."
"This is a pointless conversation.."
"Well technically, you're the one that started it..and since your answers are getting shorter, I'm assuming that you're running out of things to say..nice going.."
"OKAY BREAK IT UP ALREADY YOU TWO!!", shouted an aggravated Yusuke' some ways away, already starting to carry 2 of the bags, with the exception of the one hoisted up on his back.
"I agree, this isn't exactly the time to hold a dispute..", Kurama scolded us lightly, trying to carry a final additional to his load, but unlike Yusuke', he was only able to manage two.
"Okay, so that means that I've got dibs' on this last set then", I said, while picking up the one next to me, and the last one that had been knocked-off to the side. Then I started to make my way to the entrance, all before I discovered that Hiei had been blocking my way out..
"You'll never be able to fully carry those bags up all those flights without falling down you know..", He said with his usual tone, and looking back up at me with a total blank expression on his face. Funny, almost looks like he's bored or something..
"Okaaay, so what's your point?", I asked him, already assuming that he's gonna' offer to help me, so I loosened my grip on one of my bags, but not completely..I could be wrong for all I know.
"Just letting you know ahead of time..", he said with the same bored tone, but I could have sworn that I saw a ghost of a smile form on his lips, before I proceeded in following him and the others back upstairs..
End Chapter 9..
