My Fair Lady: A YYH Musical
Chapter one: An Interlude of Sorts
x
Hiei was sitting against the wall in Kurama's room as usual, and was starting to get bored, just sitting there, listening to Kurama mutter something under his breath every now and then.
"What better time then to work early in the morning?" Came a soft whisper from under Kurama's breath. "Where does one buy a lady's gown?" He said even softer, hoping that maybe his friend wouldn't have heard that line.
But indeedhe had, and now the fox had successfully caught Hiei's attention. 'What the hell is Kurama talking about?' he thought to himself as he watched the boy in front of him mutter some more under his breath.
Bored, Hiei looked down at the bed he was sitting on, grateful for it's warmth, because it had been cold outside earlier when he had been sitting outside the window. His fox had been reading that silly book then too. The sound of humming from ahead brought him from his trance.
"Fox, what are you doing?" Hiei asked in a slightly anointed tone.
"I'm memorizing my lines koi." Kurama stated quite plainly, not turning his head to look at the boy.
"Lines?" The little hiyoukai asked, confused.
"Yes Hiei, lines." Kurama said in an almost snappish tone, but stopped when he saw the look on Hiei's face. "My school performs a play every year, and this year they picked a musical to do for the school festival."
"Musical?" Hiei questioned, even more confused then before. Sure, he knew what a play was, but had never heard of a musical before.
"It's just like a play, except there is a lot of singing and dancing in it." He said as he went back to looking at his script.
"So what's this 'musical' about?" Hiei asked, trying not to sound too interested in the matter.
"Well," Kurama said as he thought about it for a moment. "It's about this poor girl who sells flowers, when one day she meets this grammar professor. Her English is so bad that he makes a bet with another colleague that he could turn this, poor ill-spoken girl, into a Duchess for a ball in six months."
"An why are you reading such a stupid ningen play?" The half koorime asked, clearly stating his opinion about such matters.
"Well, the school has picked me to be one of the characters and I have to memorize my lines." Kurama said, as if stating the obvious.
"Hn." Was the only the answer that the fox got out of the boy. He started to laugh under his breath, but was received with a glare in return.
Kurama had stopped laughing and was now looking at Hiei, when thoughts of his friend on stage singing, started to cross his mind. A grin spread across his face, making him look highly suspicious of some crime. Hiei was just about to say something, when a loud ringing noise from downstairs interrupted his thoughts. A few seconds' later shouts from the living room could be heard up in Kurama's room.
"Shuichi dear, the phone isfor you!" Came Shiori's voice.
"Coming Mother!" He replied, as he stood up. Kurama walked over to where Hiei sat on the bed, bent over, and kissed him on the forehead. "Be right back love" he said under his breath as he walked out the door.
'Stupid fox' Hiei thought to himself, as a blush spread across his face. He looked around the room, as if looking at it for the first time, when his eyes landed on Kurama's book. He picked himself up and walked over to the desk were the fox had been sitting and started to read parts from the script.
Eliza:
Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My Head's too light to try to set it down!
Sleep! Sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight!
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
Hiei's eyes kept reading and skimming certain parts,and by the end of four pages he had decided that this didn't make any sense at all, and with curiosity getting the better of him, flipped the book to the first page and began to read.

This, this was stupider than all the songs combined in that blasted musical Kurama had been reading. Here they were, in the middle of the night, on one of Koenma's stupid, pointless missions. Kurama had not been pleased when he had received the call from Yusuke, and now that it came to it, neither was Hiei. He wanted to ring that toddlers neck and…
"So, why are we out here again?" Kuwabara asked, interruptingHiei's thoughts,from somewhere to the right of Kurama.
"Were supposed to be watching for some demon that's been showing up in these parts lately." Yusuke said in a dull voice, looking almost as bored as he sounded. "Koenma said something about stealing the souls of its victims, or whatnot."
"It always has to be some soul stealing bastard, doesn't it?" Kuwabara asked in his, annoyingly dumb voice. "Why the hell can't they just leave us alone for once?"
"Ya I agree with Kuwabara!" Yusuke said, going into some kind of trance, and the two stared at each other, mumbling something about bastard demons and how they should all go drowned themselves in some sewage system.
"Sometimes, the idiocy of those two surprise me." Hiei whispered softly, so that his fox was the only one who could hear him. Kurama looked down at Hiei and smiled, when suddenly his face went still.
"What's wrong fox?" Hiei asked, concern at the boys sudden change.
"Do you feel it? Someone is coming." Kurama stated quite plainly, keeping his voice down as not to alert the intruder of their presence.
Suddenly, something long and whip-like came flying out of the bushes, causing the four members to jump back suddenly. As quickly as the weapon had emerged it had disappeared again, and all trace of an enemy was gone.
"Okay, that was weird" Yusuke said shakily, continuing to look around for signs as to were the foe had withdrawn to.
"Super weird." The dolt added, sounding just as stupid as he looked. Kuwabara also joined Yusuke in looking around for their opponent. When no signs were found they found themselves in the same position they had before the attack.
"Why don't we split up?" Kurama suggested. "Nothing will be gained just standing around." With a nod of their heads, all four teammates separated, each taking a different direction.
Hiei and Kurama took to the woods behind them, while the other two scanned some more open areas. At the entrance of the trees the two demon parted ways, one going to the left, and one going to the right. Hiei walked closer to were he thought he had felt the initial blast of energy. Then all of a sudden, a new jolt of reiki came flying at him, causing him to jump backwards and draw his sword from under his cloak.
"Show yourself." He demanded, as the enemy had still not shown himself. The only response that was heard was that of a high pitched cackle erupting from the tree in front of him.
"I shall not." It responded, sending forth another blast of energy.
As the blast soared forward, Hiei went to sidestep, which in turn caused it to hit the tip ofhis sword, sendingthe objectflying out of his hands and up into the air. As another shot descended from the trees, Hiei took another step to the right, completely forgetting about his airborne sword.
"Rose whip!" Was heard from behind him, and Hiei turned to look at Kurama, who had spotted the person in the bushes, successfully ending the pitiful demons life. Then all of a sudden a shout of, "Hiei, watch out!" erupted from the fox.
He had no time to react, as something hard collided with the side of his head, sending him to the ground. Shouts could be heard from Kurama, as the world started to drift into darkness. And the last thought that rang through Hiei's head were the lines from the blasted musical he had been reading earlier.
Then the world went black.
