Dream: Hello! Since my ideas for short fanfics keep piling up, I've decided that I'm going to write some of them before I lose the list.
Zero: Yeah, Yeah, nobody cares. Just tell them about this story.
Dream: Well, this is an idea I've had for a long time now. I came up with it before Anime Idiots Convention ever came into my mind. I can't take all the credit for it, though. EternalBlackNight helped with the idea. Actually, he helped a lot since I never would've come up with it if he hadn't introduced me to the game. Oh, and then there's Winter -iel -o burzum who also helped with the idea.
Zero: The story pairings are as usual, Autumn/Kurama and Flash/Hiei. As usual, there probably won't be a lot of romance.
Dream: Yu Yu Hakusho and all its characters belong to Yoshihiro Togashi. Flash and Lioness belong to Winter -iel -o burzum. Vlad and Hinote belong to EternalBlackNight.
Zero: This is going to be a one chapter fanfic, though it might wind up being two chapters depending on how Dream's mind is functioning at the moment.
Dream: Yup! Well, without further adieu...the story!

Meeting Thine Pixilated Doom, part 1:
It was a stormy fall day in New York. But it wasn't just any storm. No, this storm was the remains of a Hurricane that had hit Florida and other southern east coast states. The rain was pouring down upon the earth like poo rains upon cars from a pigeon with diarrhea. The town seemed deserted. Since everyone sane was inside their nice, cozy homes, the streets were empty of people. Well, almost empty. On a small side street, a group of teenagers was running to find shelter.
Leading the way was a boy with long crimson hair that was plastered to his face by the rain. His emerald eyes were narrowed in an attempt to keep water from getting in them. He had a yellow rain jacket on with the hood up. He had matching rain boots. Running right behind him was a short boy dressed completely in black. He had his black hair spiked up. Miraculously, it hadn't been affected by the rain. His red eyes displayed anger. He obviously didn't want to be out there.
Next to the short boy was a girl about the same height as him. She wore on her head a black baseball cap with the label 'Yu Yu Hakusho' on it. She was wearing a black raincoat and black boots up to about her knees. Her long black hair was pulled under her hat except for her silver bangs. She was trying to see through the rain with her golden eyes.
A little bit behind them was a taller boy. He had a dark navy blue raincoat and black steel-toed boots. His normally curly brown hair was flattened to his head by the water. His eyes were protected from the water by his glasses.
Bringing up the rear of the group was a boy with reddish brown eyes. He was wearing a dark green raincoat and black boots. He had his hood up to protect his gelled hair. At the rear of the rear was a tall boy with orange hair. He was wearing a blue raincoat and black boots. He had his arms over his head to keep water from getting to his hair, completely forgetting that he had a hood.
The group finally made it to their destination: the house of their friend Autumn. They pressed close to the wall since the rain wasn't falling as hard there. The boy with the red hair rang the doorbell three times, remembered the doorbell only worked when it wanted to, and walked over to the window he knew was Autumn's.
"AUTUMN!" He yelled as loud as possible. Then he waited for the thud of her falling out of her chair in surprise. It never came.
"You sure she's home, Kurama?" The boy with reddish brown eyes, Yusuke, asked.
The redhead, Kurama, shrugged, "The lights are on, so chances are she's home."
Now, if Autumn had had clear blinds over her windows, Kurama would have seen that she was staring at her computer screen with her mouth hanging open and her stormy blue eyes unblinking under her dark brown bangs. Her fingers moved over the keys of her computer as she stared, completely oblivious to anything else. But, Autumn doesn't have clear blinds over her windows. If she did, Kurama would be a very happy fox boy.
Kurama went over to the doorbell and pushed it again. Inside the house, Autumn's demon rabbit sighed. He hopped off of Autumn's bed. He stood about 2 feet in height. He had sloppy white hair and two big floppy black bunny ears sprouting from the sides of his head. He had little freckles on his cheeks under his big brown eyes. At the time he was wearing an oversized, ice blue, long sleeved shirt that had a white snowflake on the front. He also had on oversized black shorts that had a hole in the back for his fluffy white tail and fuzzy white bunny slippers. He ran quickly to the kitchen and up to the door.
"Ok...now how do I do this...?" The small demon asked as he stared up at the doorknob.
He pulled his long sleeves up his arms so that his hands weren't covered and started hopping up and down to try and get the doorknob. He finally grabbed onto it and wound up hanging there trying to turn it. He fell on his bottom and hissed. Then he went to the dining room and pushed a chair into the kitchen. Climbing onto the chair, he was finally able to turn the doorknob.
"Finally!" The tall ugly boy, known by all as Kuwabara, said.
Kurama patted the rabbit demon on the head, "Hello, Tenka. Where's Autumn?"
The rabbit's tail twitched as he hopped down from the chair and pulled it back so the others could come in. "She's in her room."
"Why didn't she respond when I...?" Kurama began but was cut off by Tenka.
"Her mind is being devoured by an evil force bent on turning the current generation of human children into mindless zombies that live only for the joy of earning 'points', otherwise known as a video game."
The group of teens stared at the rabbit demon. Yusuke pointed, "You've been hanging around Autumn too much."
"Well, it's kind of hard not to hang around her when we live in the same house!" Tenka responded, rolling his eyes.
Flash, the girl of small stature, closed the door. She took off her boots and raincoat. The others did the same. Kurama, being unable to leave a chair sitting in the middle of the kitchen, moved the chair back to the dining room. He and the others then followed Tenka to Autumn's room. There they saw Autumn sitting at her computer.
Kurama walked over and waved a hand in front of her face. She didn't blink. He did, "Err....Autumn? Are you alright?"
"The human you have called is not available right now. Please hang up and try again later." Autumn responded in a mechanical, emotionless voice.
The group that was crowded around Autumn exchanged looks. Tenka started laughing. Everyone turned their attention to the computer screen as they heard a computerized voice yell, "ROSE WHIP!"
"It's Yu Yu Hakusho 3: Tokubetsuhen!!" The boy with normally curly hair, Hinote, yelled happily.
"Yu Yu Hakusho 3....?" Yusuke let his question trail off.
Hinote pointed at the screen. On the left side of the screen was a digital, pixilated Kurama wearing the yellow outfit from the Dark Tournament. On the other side of the screen was a pixilated Karasu. Autumn held down some buttons and pixilated Kurama performed the Fuuka embujin attack, knocking pixilated Karasu down.
"Ha-ha! That's the end of the fox molesting freak!" Yusuke pointed and laughed at Karasu on the screen.
Autumn absently dug her teeth into the hand that was close to her face without ever removing her gaze from the screen or moving her hands from the keyboard. Yusuke screeched in pain and pulled his hand back. Autumn still didn't stop the game.
"I think video games are bad for her health." Yusuke growled, rubbing his hand, "Or rather her playing video games is bad for my health."
Kuwabara pointed at the screen, somehow managing to remember that if his hand got anywhere near Autumn's face it would be bitten, "Karasu's back up and he's missing his mask!"
"He'll be harder to beat then..." Kurama frowned.
Autumn grinned evilly as Karasu changed into his blonde form. She pushed some buttons and pixilated Kurama changed to pixilated Youko Kurama. Autumn let out a soft 'squee' at the sight of the fox. With one attack of Youko's grass sword Karasu was down and out.
Autumn threw her arms up into the air, "WOOHOO! First the battle then the world! All shall fall before the Awesome might of the flower boy! MUAHAHAHA!"
"I resent that." Kurama glared.
Autumn fell out of her chair in surprise. She landed on her butt facing the group and pointing, "AAAH! I'm hallucinating! Harmony was right! I shouldn't have spent 12 hours straight staring at the computer screen without blinking or moving! Aw fridge! Harmony was right! AGAIN! Damn stupid fox! Stop being right!"
Autumn then proceeded to bash her head into the ground repeatedly. Kurama had to tackle her in order to make her stop. He sat up, holding the struggling girl tightly in his arms. She started to howl mournfully. Those with free hands covered their ears.
The boy with spiky hair, Hiei, hissed, "Kurama, shut that thing up or I will kill it!"
"I am not an it!!" Autumn growled. Since Hiei was close by, she clamped her jaws around his leg.
Hiei let out a yelp of pain and started kicking his leg out to get Autumn off. Hinote sat down in Autumn's computer chair and started playing a match as Touya against Genkai. Yusuke looked over his right shoulder while Kuwabara looked over his left. Flash crossed her arms on top of Hinote's head and rested her chin on her arms. Hinote was about to say something when there was a clap of thunder and the lights flickered briefly.
Autumn let go of Hiei and walked over to the computer, "That's funny...Usually the computer turns off when the lights flicker..."
Kurama and Hiei crowded around the others. Hinote then realized the game had frozen, "GRARR! I was winning!! How could this happen to me?!"
"Hinote...your health is over here." Flash pointed at the left of the screen where an almost empty health bar was located.
Hinote looked back and forth between Touya's almost empty health bar and Genkai's almost full one. He narrowed his eyes and sweat dropped, "Shut up."
It was then that a bolt of lightning hit the house, causing the power to go out. Everyone blinked rapidly to try and see in the dark. Flash's golden eyes narrowed, "Alright, who's got their hand on my ass?"
"That's not as important as figuring out who's sitting on my lap!" Hinote yelled.
"Oh my frogs! I can't feel my squeedlyspooch!" Autumn shrieked in terror, her blue eyes wide.
Kurama's emerald eyes closed as he sighed, "Autumn, squeedlyspooch is not a body part, therefore you do not have a squeedlyspooch and therefore you can not feel it."
"Oh..." Autumn laughed.
Hinote pat Autumn's head, "Autumn...? Why are you sitting on my lap?"
"Wha? Hinote? Where's Santa?" Autumn narrowed her eyes.
"Ok, I really want to know whose hand is on my ass." Flash fidgeted nervously.
Kurama elbowed Hiei, "Hiei, stop that! It's not right to take advantage of a lady in the dark!"
"What the hell are you talking about, fox?! I'm not doing anything!!" Hiei yelled, embarrassed.
Flash let out a low growl, "Hiei, you are so dead."
"Erm...is it supposed to do that?" Kuwabara asked, referring to the computer screen.
The monitor was glowing with an eerie periwinkle colored light. Tendrils of periwinkle electricity stretched out from the monitor towards the kids as the glow intensified. The group of teens clung to each other in fear as they stood frozen in spot. The tendrils wrapped around the closest teens: Autumn and Hinote. They were dragged into the screen, their screams echoing behind.
"Autumn!!" Kurama screeched, running closer and getting caught by a tendril.
The others soon suffered the same fate. Moments later the tendrils dissolved. A small furry figure crawled out from under the bed and stood blinking at the monitor screen. The bunny boy climbed onto the computer chair and looked at the screen. He grew pale, "This can't be good..."

Dream: ::evil laughter:: This just seemed like the best place to put a cliffhanger! ...I'll get working on the second chapter right now, I promise!
Zero: She will, too. She knows that if she doesn't, Winter will kill her and if she does, she gets caramel.
Dream: Onward! To chapter 2!
