The Joys of Hotdogs and Lemonade: Revised Edition

Disclaimer

Bf- I'm almost done! Yea! And what's surprising is that I started this fic in the last three weeks of summer vacation 2004, and it's only being finished the second week into school. Cool, I'm getting better! (see how long ago i did this?)

Df- better in what?

Bf- getting stories finished faster.

Kurama- But you had the original version as a plot line.

Bf- oh, good point.

N- yes, well, if she ever gets around to it, Bf here will add in a bonus chapter at the end. Something of an epilogue if you will.

Bf- Which, I'm probably not... but if I do it's gonna be all about Kurama's reaction when he finds photographic evidence that somehow got taken… wonder how that happened?

--Kurama is angry—

Bf- disclaimer now, please!

Disclaimer- still don't own it. Never will, repeating this is bothersome.

Chapter six

The hotdog and the antidote

"Alright!" Liz shouted, "Let's go, go, GO!"

Everyone, save for Kuwabara and Yusuke ran off to do their jobs. Yusuke turned to Kuwabara,

"Now, what?" he asked.

"I was hoping you'd know." Kuwabara said, clueless. Yusuke thought a moment, gazing into the men's section of the mall.

"Hey, I got it!" he said, gaze falling on a tie display. "How bout we get some of those stupid looking ties over there, and make a leash thingy, and walk Kurama out of here like a dog!"

"Yea, good idea!" Kuwabara agreed, running off to the display, leaving Yusuke to watch Kurama.

Meanwhile, Lenni, Liz, and Neha were running back to Kurama's house. Lenni was the farthest behind, breathing hard.

"Are we there yet?" she gasped.

"No." Neha said, agitated, "We weren't there half a minute ago, and we aren't there now."

"But my feet hurt!" Lenni complained.

"Tough luck." Liz said.

"Arff, ruff, grr!" Why don't you get those gerbils of yours? Andrea-Kitsune mewed.

"Hey! Good idea!" Lenni said, and took out her grass whistle once more. She placed it in between her thumbs and blew, hard.

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The gerbils appeared once more, flying overhead, and back towards the mall.

"NO!" Lenni shouted. "THEY BETRAYED ME AGAIN!"

Andrea-Kitsune sniggered.

In the parking lot of the mall, Hiei was standing outside of a bus that was parked outside. The driver cranked open the door, and stared down on the fire demon.

"Nice hair-do, kid." He said, rubbing his chin, "But wat kan I do fer ya?"

"I require this bus." Hiei said calmly.

"Nope. Sorry der son," the fat old bus driver replied, leaning back in his seat. "I need dis here bus ta drive ta dat fast food burger place over der." He said. Hiei looked at him disgusted, then began to draw his katana.

"Hey!" the driver protested. "No long, shiny, dangerous, sword thingies on the bus!"

Hiei glared at him.

"Who's stopping me?" he asked. The driver was silent. Then he screamed bloody murder and ran from his bus in terror. Hiei surveyed the inside of the bus. It was a complete dump. Some of the seats were replaced by folding chairs.

"Hn."

All of a sudden, Yusuke and Kuwabara came sprinting out of the mall towing Kurama on a leash made of tacky men's ties. The dashed onto the bus, and threw Kurama into one of the seats.

"Drive!" Kuwabara shouted.

"I'll do my best." Yusuke said, sitting in the drivers seat.

Kuwabara and Hiei both swallowed hard. Yusuke slammed on the gas and the bus screeched out of the parking lot and onto the road. Hiei and Kuwabara hung onto the old pungent seats for dear life.

Gradually Yusuke slowed down enough so as they wouldn't crash into something. Kuwabara heaved a sigh of relief.

"What were you running from, anyway?" Hiei asked.

"Those gerbils came back." Kuwabara answered, shivering at the thought.

Back at Kurama's house, Lenni, Liz, and Neha were just arriving. They ran into the backyard and stopped for a moment, catching their breath.

"So how do we make antidote?" Liz asked. Lenni smiled, having known from the beginning.

"Like this." She said. She took out the scientific testing equipment from chapter two, and pressing a button labeled 'Thisstuffmakesyoudrunk antidote'.

"You put that there for this circumstance alone, didn't you?" Liz asked. Lenni nodded.

"But what should we put it in?" Neha asked. "Kurama isn't going to take it plain."

"Good point." Lenni said, gazing around the backyard. Her gaze fell on Andrea-Kitsune, who was amusing herself by squeezing the mustard out of its container.

"That!" She said, taking a fresh bottle of mustard and a hotdog. She put the antidote into the mustard and shook it up. Then she squeezed it onto the hotdog, and gave it to Neha.

Then the three girls and their kitsune walked back out to the front yard to wait for the boys to return. Sooner than they had expected, an old bus screeched to a halt in front of the house. Kuwabara stumbled out of the bus, dragging Kurama on the tie leash.

"Urameshi, I'm never letting you drive again." He muttered, clutching his stomach.

"Awww… why not?" Yusuke asked.

"Because." Hiei said dryly. "If you do, I'll make sure you won't live to see the next day."

"Okay! No more driving for me!" Yusuke said.

"C'mon, let's just get Kurama the antidote, and be rid of this nightmare!" Neha said. They all went into the house, and gathered in the living room. Kuwabara shoved Kurama into a chair, and backed away. Neha held out the hotdog, saying

"Now Kurama, I've got this yummy hotdog for you, would you eat it for me?"

"NO!" Kurama shouted, crossing his arms.

"Well, then no sweet snow for you." Lenni scolded.

"Oh, fine." Kurama said reluctantly. He ate the hotdog, becoming glossy-eyed as he did so. Every one looked on in anticipation.

"Did it work?" Liz asked.

"Dunno." Kuwabara said.

Lenni knocked on the top of the kitsune demon's head, saying

"Helooooo! Kurama-san! Are you in there?"

Kurama snapped back to reality, saying

"Ouch! That hurt!" then he noticed what he was wearing. "HOLY C - - P!" he shouted.

"Yea! Kurama-san's back!" Lenni shouted. Kurama left the room to change, and everyone else slumped into chairs to rest. Hey, you'd be tired too if you had to spend your afternoon chasing around a drunken fox demon with a credit card!

Andrea-Kitsune walked up to Hiei carrying a tray with ice cream on it.

"Ruff, orrh, ruff, ruff?" want one? They're lemon flavor!

"Sweet snow?" Hiei asked halfheartedly. Andrea-Kitsune nodded. Hiei took one and began to eat it. Lenni turned and saw Andrea-Kitsune with lemon-flavored ice cream.

"ANDREA, NO!" but shouting about it did nothing to stop, (dun dun dun!) Thisstuffmakesyoudrunk.
