The Ice Master jumped in surprise and let go of Yusuke's shirt. "What?" he questioned, looking around for the source of the voice.
Jin's face distorted. "Is i' jus' me?" he asked. "Or does i' smell like somethin's burnin'?"
"TOUYA! HELP!" the cry came again. Everyone's heads turned in the general direction of the kitchen. Black smoke was beginning to billow through the hallway.
"FIRE!" Kuwabara yelped. "EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!" He promptly ran to the window, opened it, and, with great difficulty, squeezed himself outside.
Everyone began to cough as the smoke entered the room.
"TOUYA! GET IN HERE NOW!"
The ice youkai covered his mouth and nose with his hand. "Jin! Blow the smoke through the windows!"
The gagging Wind Master gave him a quick thumbs-up before creating a small tornado in the room.
Touya ran blindly through the smoke into the kitchen. There, he saw an open oven. Something inside was blazing. Hiei was trying to smother it with his cloak, but was meeting with no success. Kurama was on the floor in a coughing fit.
"Move!" the ice youkai shouted, pushing Hiei away from the oven. He used his power over ice to quickly freeze the flame.
Slowly, with the help of Jin's tornado, the smoke left the house. Kurama lay on the floor of the kitchen, gasping for breath. "Thanks, Touya," he said.
The Ice Master nodded. "What started the fire?" he asked.
Hiei tried to look innocent in a bored way. "I have no idea," he answered.
Touya peered into the oven. Inside was the remains of a box, burnt black.
"It was this," he said with interest, taking the box out. He opened what was left of it to find black and pink ashes mixed with burnt clothing that looked like it had once been pink.
Kurama glanced at it, and immediately the expression on his face changed to one of angry recognition. "Hiei..." he said, teeth clenched.
"What happened in here?" Botan asked, running into the kitchen. Instantly she saw what Touya was holding.
"My present for Hiei!" she cried, and grabbed it from the startled Ice Master. "What did you do to it! It's ruined!"
Kurama noticed the small smirk creeping onto Hiei's face. He was just about to tell Botan exactly what had happened to Hiei's gift, but then imagined Botan whacking poor Hiei over the head with her oar. He felt a pang of pity for his friend.
"I must have mistaken it for popcorn," the fox said sheepishly.
Hiei's head whipped around to look at the kitsune.
"I'm so very sorry," Kurama continued. "We're all very upset...aren't we?"
At this, he eyed Hiei, who changed his shocked, almost-smirking expression into one of grief, and nodded sadly.
"It's...alright, Kurama...it's not your fault..." Botan sniffed, and then abruptly burst into tears.
After much comforting, Touya led a calm Botan out of the kitchen so Kurama and Hiei could clean up the mess in the oven. Well...first Kurama gave Hiei a lecture...then he made Hiei clean the mess in the oven by himself.
Meanwhile, while Hiei was stuck cleaning and Kurama was watching him like a hawk, the rest of the group was devising a fun new game to play...
