Sorry for lack of updating, but Tenchi and my account was suspended for a short period of time. For those of you who know about our email fic, well...there was a small misunderstanding. And now that story's off the net.

But it will be back up! Just under a different name, so doesn't accuse us of communcation violations. But it will take a while.

In the mean time, some people suggested this (sorry beloved readers, I can't really remember who at the moment), and so here I am writing it!

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful ideas! I love reviews!

Hiei and Yukina, a Hansel and Gretel Story

Once upon a time there was a pair of siblings named Hiei and Yukina. It actually took Yukina a while to realize that she actually had a sibling, but we won't get into that.

Anyway, these two siblings had an eeeeeeevil step dad. Yep, we know it's usually an eeeeeeevil step mom, but we're doing something a little different for this story.

So there's Hiei, Yukina, their eeeeeeevil step dad, and the mom.

Who died.

Very depressing.

One day the eeeeeeevil step dad decided to do away with the children, and be done with them once and for all. (Wow, that was an old-fashioned sentence.)

So he sent them to gather up firewood.
The children did wonder why exactly he needed firewood when he lived in a mansion with servants, but being the innocent darlings that they were (Hiei? Innocent? I'm sure.) they didn't question their eeeeeeevil step dad's request.

But Hiei, being the sadistic little thing that he was, decided to leave a trail of stones, incase they got lost.

Which proved useful. At the end of the day they simply followed his little trail of sparkling stones back to their house, and their eeeeeeevil waiting step dad.

The next day, the same thing happened.

Only their eeeeeeevil step dad noticed.

So he decided to do something.

Locking the children in their rooms until the very last moment, he made sure Hiei didn't have a chance to gather enough for to make a trail home.

Devious. Very devious.

Anyway, this is hoe the kids ended up lost.

"What're we going to do?" Yukina moaned sadly. A dear little birdie landed on her shoulder. "How are we ever to get home?" She stroked the birdie.

"We're going to continue on, until we run into something of use. We have no other option." Hiei eyed her little sweet birdie. "At least we know what we're having for dinner."

The next day...

"Are you sure you don't want some leftover bird?" Hiei asked cheerfully.

"No." Yukina sullenly sat on a log and glared at Hiei.

"Whatever. Your loss." Finishing off his breakfast, Hiei and Yukina started walking again.

"Hey, do you smell that?"

"What?"

"Kinda smells like...like a cookie."

And behold, there was a little house made of cookies, candy, cake, chocolate, and many other C foods.

Immediately the two began eating. Yukina, because she was starving. Hiei, because he wanted to see the owner's face when they found out their home had been eaten.

"Hey you guys! Stop eating my house!" A freakishly small woman ran out from the yummy house. "Do you have any idea how hard it was to cook this thing?"

Hiei looked at the lady—who was about his height—and said (quite stupidly), "Who the (blocked language use for the sake of children) are you?"

"I'm Genkai." She forced a smile on her face, and ended up looking like a crazed serial killer. "I'm the witch in this story. I'm supposed to eat the two of you. Only I don't. 'Cause you shove me in an oven. BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S GONNA GO, GOT IT? Instead, I believe you and I can strike a deal. Whaddya say?"

Yukina shook her head frantically, and Hiei looked carefully at the old woman.

"I'm listening."

"NO!" Yukina threw herself at the witch. "I shall not participate in any of your wicked deeds!"

Hiei and Genkai shared a very evil look over the girl's head.

"Genkai, are you feeling hungry...?"

Some random amount of time later...

"Candy!" A short man with spiky hair yelled. "Come and get your candy! Only...uh, as much as I can get outta you!"

Genkai patted him on the back. "You're doing just fine. The candy business is booming." Turning, the witch faced Yukina, who was passing out candy to little children. "Sickening." Then she turned to face all you readers. "Huh. I bet you thought we were going to eat her or something." She shook her head. "Freaks."

The End

That wasn't my best work, but I kind of felt I owed all you loyal readers some kind of story.
After this one I think I'm going to try to start working on the Kagome/Inuyasha fic I've been wanting to do. But I don't really know for sure.

Oh, I send my love right back to Bob and themagnificentsupershay!
