Heh. Did anybody read Kokoro Sabishii's story yet? Did ya? Did ya? Well, I suppose I shouldn't be asking that, since you guys won't even have time to breath before this chapter is up. I love my laptop! I can write on it all day long. Nissi talks to computers (Yah, she is crazy, but you get used to it after a while, and she is really smart!) and she says that my laptop's name is Crepta. So that's what I call her. Heh. Props to Nissi for thinking of the slushie idea in this. AH! I just remembered the word that people say when someone says the exact same thing they were going to say! Ditto! (sp?) Oh, I'm such a dunce.


Chapter Eleven

"I saw that, Hiei."

The surprised koorime turns to see Kurama standing in the doorway, an amused expression on his face. His arms are folded and he is staring at his companion, trying to keep the laughter in, much like Olivia was trying to do previously. Hiei flushes for the third time this night.

"Shut up, fox."

"Really Hiei, there's no reason to be ashamed!"

"I'm not ashamed."

"Riiiight. Well let's go. They need to sleep."

"Hn."

The Next Morning

"Good morning, Nissi!" Kurama greets his charge, pulling her into a hug and making her gasp. "Feeling better?"

"Oh Vanessa my love, has Genkai healed you properly?" Kuwabara implores, staring at Vanessa with hearts in his eyes.

"Yup. All better."

"Ditto," Meagan tells a worried Yusuke, who sighs.

"Hn."

"Hello to you too, Hiei," Olivia laughs, patting him on the head. "The least you could do is say hello after last night!"

"Why?" Nissi looks at her friend. "What did he do last night?"
"He pushed me into a stream."

"Wha--? What were you doing outside?" Meagan demands.

"Genkai said that it would be okay...I went out to write some poetry."

"And Hiei pushed you in...why?" Kurama shoots a look to his friend.

"To read my poem."

"Oh...is that why your clothes are wet?"

"Yup."

Botan comes in with a kimono, which she hands to Olivia. It is pink. Olivia grimaces, for it reminds her of the outfit she had to wear while they were planning the Jell-O incident. Botan rubs the back of her head in apology.

"The only thing I have."

"That's okay it's just...how do you put it on?"

"Come on, I'll show you."

About half an hour later, Olivia comes out wearing her pink kimono with her hair in a neat French braid. The look on her face tells her friends that Botan forced her to sit and let her play with her hair. Hiei smirks. She hates pink...I can tell. We're more alike than I thought.

"Help me!" Olivia pleads, running behind Nissi.

"How can you move in that thing?" Vanessa wonders.

"It's about two sizes too big for me, so I have the wonderful ability to move. But that doesn't mean I can't breathe! Anyway, Botan is set on making me her doll. She's dragging out make-up and everything!"

"See how I felt?" Hiei's smirk widens.

"Yes, but your a guy. Of course you're going to feel embarassed." Nissi explains, dragging Olivia outside. "Stay here."

Botan comes in, arms laden down with make-up. Her eyes are sparkling with all the possiblities that are jumbling around inside her head, "Where's Olivia?"

"Out of your reach," Nissi replies happily.

"She's outside," Vanessa points. "o.0 Oops."

"Botan, don't try to paint her up. Olivia is not for that. She's more of a tomboy," Meagan explains. "Olivia, you can come back in!"

Cautiously, she slips back into the room. Suddenly, a brilliant thought enters Nissi's mind. Genkai comes in the room, not liking the look on Nissi's face.

"Genkai, do you have any cold drinks? Preferably slushies?" Nissi asks sweetly.

"In the fridge," Genkai motions towards the kitchen.

Nissi skips happily off, coming back with seven slushies on her arms, and one balanced neatly on her head. "QUICK! BEFORE THEY DROP!"

Everyone comes to take one, minus Genkai, who had just had one earlier, and Olivia, who is still sick with a cold. Olivia sits in a corner of the room, writing her poetry. Hiei soon comes to join her, worried. "You okay?"

Olivia smiles at him, "I've known Nissi for a looong while, and I know that look of hers. She's planning something, and I plan to be out of the way. Look--Meagan and Vanessa are moving too."

It is true. Meagan and Vanessa drag Kuwabara, Botan, and Kurama away from Nissi, leaving her with Yusuke. Nissi grins at them, happy that they are leaving her with her current prey. She takes a sip of her slushie, catching Yusuke's eye.

"Hey Yusuke, I bet I can finish my slushie before you."

"Is that a challenge?" Yusuke's eyes get a mad glint in them, ready to take anything on.

"You bet," Nissi smiles wickedly.

"YOU'RE ON!" Yusuke shouts, trying to down his slushie in one.

Nissi puts her straw in her mouth and begins sipping, not pausing to stop once. Yusuke, on the other hand, tries to down too much at one time, resulting in a minor brain freeze. He pauses, shivering and putting his hands to his head, giving Nissi a slight lead. He notices this, and instantly shoves his own straw back into his mouth, sucking up the slushie furiously. Twice more, he has to stop, and by the end of his second time half his slushie is still intact and Nissi is finished.

"I win."

"NOT FAIR! I BET YOU CHEATED!" Yusuke accuses. What a sore loser.

"Well...I'll give you one more chance. And you know, if you drink the slushie really fast, it goes right down your throat with no work. Wanna try again?" Nissi asks.

"Is that another challenge?"

"Yes, baka, what else would it be?" Hiei sneers from his spot next to Olivia, who whacks him.

"Shh!"

"Yup, it's another challenge," Nissi disappears and reappears with two more slushies. "Ready? Go!"

Yusuke makes quick work of his slushie and Nissi, with the widest grin possible plastered on her face, doesn't even touch her own. "Ha! I win! Hey, you didn't even touch your slushie. Why is tha---AAAAAAAHHHHH! MAJOR BRAIN FREEZE!"

Yusuke drops to the floor, rolling around and clutching his head in supreme pain. His teeth clench and unclenches, as do his fist. He stares up at Nissi with "I will get revenge" written all over his face. Nissi laughs, sitting next to Kurama and latching onto his arm.

"It was worth losing, wasn't it Kurama?" she laughs.

"Very much worth it."

Olivia sneezes, causing Genkai's eyes to wander over to her, "You need some soup."

She makes a face, "I hate soup...do I have to?"

"Yes."

Sighing, Olivia turns to Hiei with an icy stare, "Oh, I will so get you back for this."

Hiei only smirks, getting up and exiting the room. Kurama stares after him. Genkai returns to the room about five minutes later, carrying with her a large bowl of...

"Chicken noodle soup!" Olivia moans, taking the bowl. "Woe betide Hiei if I see himin less than an hour after I eat this."

She downs it as quickly as she can, shuddering when she is finally able to put down the bowl. "If anyone needs me, I'll be puking my guts out...in the bathroom...good-bye."

She runs out, clutching her stomach. Vanessa stares after her, "This would make a great show..."

"Yeah," Nissi nods, visualizing. "And this episode could be called: "Of Slushies and Soup."

Those still in the room sit and think on what Vanessa said, until a familiar voice rings through the room, "Yo."


Whew! I've updated...two or three chapters in this one day. A new record if it's three chapters, and if it's two...nevermind then. Heh. Nissi just called me earlier and gave me the idea for this chapter. I just added the soup part. :) Blerg...it's 11 pm, but I have to stay up, so I can chat with Meagan over e-mail. (yawns) Will...stay...awake...Please read and review! Ja ne!
