Chapter four

Lenni's evil flying gerbils

"Andrea-Kitsune!" Lenni shrieked at her little silver fox.

"Orrh?" what? She mewed.

"Why did you put that stuff in the lemonade! Now Kurama-san's drunk and it's all you fault!" Upon finishing, Lenni sank to the grass and began to sob.

"There, there." Neha comforted her. "You have to remember that without Drea, this story would have no point." Lenni immediately stopped crying and looked up.

"Oh yea," she said. "I forgot." Andrea-Kitsune smiled at her as if to say 'that's okay' and walked over to where Kurama was running in a circle muttering things in Japanese. Lenni sighed and plucked a piece of grass from the lawn, earning looks of confusion from everyone save for Neha and Liz. Lenni licked the piece of grass, then noticing everyone staring at her asked,

"What?" Neha shook her head.

"What in Makai are you doing?" Hiei asked.

"I'm making a grass whistle." Lenni replied. "Why?"

"Because," Kuwabara said. "It's kinda gross looking."

"Your problem." Lenni said, placing the grass between her thumbs. Then she blew on it, hard.

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Everyone covered their ears at the sudden high pitch noise.

"What in the heck was that?!" Yusuke demanded.

"A grass whistle." Lenni said happily.

"Ruff, orrh?" but what'd you do it for?

"I saw this in a movie once." Lenni said, getting to her feet. "Someone made a grass whistle and the noise it made let her control an army of evil zombies!"

"What color is the sky in your world?" Hiei asked.

"Purple." Lenni answered. "What color is the sky in your world?"

"Hn."

"Hn isn't a color."

Neha interrupted them, asking

"Why do you want to control evil zombies?"

"I don't." Saying this, she earned an 'oh brother' look from Neha.

"WHEEE!" Kurama yelled, pretending he was driving a racecar and zoomed around the yard.

"Yay!" Lenni shouted, holding up her whistle triumphantly. "It worked!"

"What worked?" Yusuke asked.

"My grass whistle, duh!"

"So?" Yusuke asked, "Who cares?"

"Oh, no." Liz sighed.

"You shouldn't have said that." Neha said.

"Well," Lenni began, "Me and bob my rock, and my stone turtle Charles, and Harold my other rock and razzberie my little red dragon model and Mr. P my fish and the one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-people-eater and no-tail my other fish, and the lil water droplet dude in the background on my computer screen and the little voice in my head that insults my drawings, and the Y2k bug, and Jeremiah the bullfrog, and Bob my non-existent friend from California, and Meepomatic the clay robot, and the bug that bit me yesterday, and my locker at school, and the conductor for the Happy Day express, and Jao the spider demon, and my counterpart, Elli."

Everyone gave her a look of complete disbelief, and confusion.

"What? He asked me who cared, and I told him."

"Never mind." Neha said, shaking her head. "Now, where's Kurama?" Everyone looked around the backyard, but no one saw Kurama. Lenni didn't appear to notice; having just flung herself into a hyper mode called 'Meepitized', and hopped over the fence to put her grass whistle away. But was only able to get through the back door, when she screamed and ran back, grass whistle still in hand.

"The credit card!" she shrieked, "IT'S GONE!"

Just then, Kurama ran by them, with Lenni's mother's credit card that she had 'borrowed', in hand. Lenni stared after him in astonished silence for a moment, then yelled at the top of her voice,

"GET THAT KITSUNE!!!"

All seven of the non-drunk people dashed after Kurama into the front yard where Neha's bike lay in the grass.

"Hey, isn't that your bike, Neha?" Liz questioned. Neha was silent.

"Hey, wow." Kurama said, running up to the bike and getting on it. Everyone screamed the word 'no' as they watched Kurama pedal off in the direction of Tokyo. Though, fortunately, in his drunken state, his balance had been thrown off, and the kitsune demon toppled to the ground.

"Hah!" Lenni said, pulling out her grass whistle dramatically. "Now I can stop him!" Lenni put the grass between her thumbs and blew, hard.

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

All at once, a swarm of small flying gerbils swooped out from behind a cloud, and flew towards Kurama. The one who was leader spotted the fox demon on the ground and yelled to the rest of the gerbils,

"Squeak!" There! He squeaked in a high pitch voice. The gerbils flew down and picked Kurama up effortlessly, and flew off towards Tokyo.

"NO!" Lenni screamed, sinking to the ground. "Fred, you betrayed me!"

"Who's Fred?" Kuwabara asked.

"The commander of the gerbils." Neha replied for her sobbing friend.

The others just stared in the direction of the flying gerbils, mystified.

"My poor gerbils!" Lenni wailed, "I'll never forget you!"

"If you ask me," Hiei said coldly, "I think she's the one who needs the therapy treatment."

"I've tried." Neha answered, "It's impossible to get her out of Meepitized mode unless she does it herself."

"Oorra." indeed. Andrea-Kitsune agreed.

Then with that, Neha began to comfort Lenni.

"That's okay, your gerbils were just having an off day." She said to her friend, who by this time was sitting in a puddle of tears. She immediately stopped and got to her feet.

"You, know." She said, pointing in the direction of Tokyo, "You're right! Because now, we have to stop Kurama from maxing out that credit card!" Then she dashed inside her garage and brought back enough bikes for everyone. Save for Hiei, because she knew he would turn it down anyway.

--Meanwhile at the mall in Tokyo—

The gerbils swooped down into the parking lot of the new mall in Tokyo. Kurama jumped off, and waved as the gerbils began to fly away.

"Thankies gerbily dudes!" Kurama called after them.

"Squeaky squeak squeak!" don't mention it! They screeched. Kurama waved once more and wobbled through the doors of Macys. All of the bystanders looked shocked, and inched away from Kurama.

The doors Kurama happened to walk through happened to be those to the women's section of Macys, and there were teenage girls with bleached blonde hair saying things like 'omigosh!' or 'like, totally!' and other commonly used phrases like that. There were counters where girls were sitting, getting their nails and make-up done, and stands selling things like perfume and eye shadow. And there were racks and racks of skirts and dresses, and tank tops and other girl clothing of that sort.

"Wow!" Kurama said gaping. "What a big cave!"

Then a sales clerk, mistaking Kurama for a girl walked up to him holding a purple bottle of perfume.

"Hello, there." She said in an all-too-cheery voice, "Would you like to try a free sample of our newest perfume?" Kurama nodded enthusiastically, and the sales clerk handed him the bottle.

Kurama opened the bottle and poured the liquid on the tiled floor of the mall saying,

"Good doggy, now drink up or you'll get dehydrated."

The sales clerk looked astounded. And Kurama walked off into the mall muttering things in Japanese.

Moments later, the rest of everyone arrived at the doors of the mall, having followed the trail of bewildered looking people who had seen a swarm of flying gerbils flying through the streets of Tokyo. They all stopped and looked up at the neon sign that read 'Big sale today!'.

"Alright, everyone." Liz said. "Let's g—" but Hiei cut her off saying,

"You want us to go in there?" he asked.

"That's the basic idea." Neha said. "How else do you suggest we find Kurama?"

"I'm not going in there." Kuwabara said, crossing his arms.

"Look's we're going to have to do this the hard way." Lenni sighed, and took out an enormous black book with a lock on it. Lenni undid the lock, and flipped to a page.

"This is my Big Book of Blackmail." She announced, selecting a passage.

"Kuwabara's secret obsession is…"

"Okay! All right! I'll come!" Kuwabara shrieked. Lenni smiled, and flipped to another passage.

"Hiei has a little sister named…"

"Say it and you die, onna!" Hiei said venomously.

"You'll come then?" Lenni asked. Hiei hesitantly agreed.

"Great!" Neha said, "You boy's will be shopping for your girlfriends, and you aren't available for a date."

"I have a girl friend?" Kuwabara asked. "When did that happen?"

"As soon as you met Yukina." Yusuke said.

"You know, she wouldn't appreciate that." Lenni said, and jotted something in The Big Book of Blackmail, then closed and locked it.

"Now if everyone's quite finished," Liz said. "Let's go find Kurama!"

And they all dashed into the mall, though some less enthusiastically than others.
