Hiei's POV
I stumbled groggily back towards our room. Nearly running into Yukina, I saw her at the last second and managed to come to a stop rather than plowing her over.
"I have those pills… Hiei… You've been drinking!" She accused in disapproving voice.
"Yeah, sowat?" I slurred.
"Well, for one thing they'll know you cheated and passed out instead of sleeping and for another thing you reek of sweat and alcohol. It's disgusting." She said giving me a small glare.
"Oh, sow... Sow... Sowry?" I muttered, annoyed at the way I couldn't pronounce my words.
She rolled her eyes at me and reached into her purse, pulling out a small vial of pills.
"Shizuru comes back to the hotel like this all the time so I always keep these on hand. They'll make it so you can walk straight, talk smoothly, and not have a hangover in the morning. No one will ever know you drank yourself to sleep. Well…" She paused and pulled something else out of her purse. An aerosol can? What?
Oh.
I smell strange now…
Hmmm….. I smell like Koenma…
"I always keep a bottle of Axe around too since she usually smells bad too. Here." She said giving me four pills and waiting as I swallowed them all at once.
"Oh, and you passed your room. It's that way." She said turning me around and pointing me in the right direction.
I blinked as my head seemed to empty of the cotton it was stuffed with. She was right I had passed the room, I was four doors down from it now. I headed back in the right direction.
"Goodnight and… Thanks for helping me." I called over my shoulder.
"You're welcome, all you need to do is ask anytime and I'll help you with whatever you need. Goodnight Hiei." I heard her say as I reached the door.
I opened the door and walked in, instantly feeling three pairs of eyes settle on me. I looked up and met Kurama's gaze. I sauntered over and leaned down close to his ear.
"Have fun staying up all night tomorrow Mr. Smarty. My, My, what has the fox gotten himself into?" I whispered, noticing his slight shiver as my words ghosted over him.
Then I stood up straight and headed to the room.
"Hiei… Are you wearing… Axe?" Kurama asked in a tight voice.
I swiveled my gaze to the red haired girly boy on the couch.
"Yes, I think so…" I replied suspiciously, wiggling an eyebrow at him inquisitively.
He blushed.
"It-er-it smells nice." He mumbled.
What do those commercials say? Axe attracts anything on two legs and everything not? I guess 'anything on two legs' includes Kurama.
I climbed into my bed, that had not yet been touched the entire time we had been here, and got comfortable.
Quickly before the others could come in I set up a barrier five inches around me that, if touched, would burn at 1000 degrees and conveniently couldn't be seen unless it was being touched. That should foil any marker plans. Surprisingly soon I felt myself begin to drift closer and closer to sleep. Maybe I should get drunk and take those pills every night. Well, if I'm not plagued by the usual nightmares that is.
I yawned one last time and then plunged into sleep.
Meanwhile…
Kuwabara giggled girlishly.
"C'mon Yusuke! Let's do the thing!" He squealed, whipping out a black marker.
"Kuwabara, that's a crayola marker..." Yusuke replied, raising his eyebrow and staring at the idiot.
"Well, I know Hiei wouldn't like his image as a badass ruined by marker on his face so I figured I'd do it with something he could wash right off so I don't meet that creepy fire dragon thing he made! I'm too sexy to die!" He explained as though Yusuke should have known the answer already.
"Sexy… You think that Kuwabara, just keep thinking that…" Kurama mumbled around the pillow he had his face shoved into.
"I agree Kurama, it's more like he's too stupid to die!" Yusuke snickered.
"Hey! Try saying that to my face!" Kuwabara yelled storming over to Yusuke.
"You are too damn STUPID to die!" Yusuke said slowly with a smirk, annunciating every syllable antagonizingly slow.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Kuwabara cried out, tackling Yusuke.
"Hey hey! Watch the goods!" Yusuke yelped as a knee almost collided with his family jewels.
"I'm gonna beat you this time Urameshi!" The idiot exclaimed throwing a wayward punch and ended up hitting himself in the head.
"Bwahahahahahahhahaa! Why does that sound familiar! Just keep beating yourself up and I won't even have to lift a finger!" Yusuke laughed from the couch, where he was sitting on Kurama's back.
Kurama looked up in annoyance.
"You may not have to lift a finger but I'm going to lift your ass if you don't get off me right now!" He growled.
Yusuke made a face.
"But you're soooooo comfortable!" He whined.
"Don't worry Kurama I'll save you!" Kuwabara shrieked as he flew past Kurama's head after performing a flying tackle and soaring right past Yusuke and onto the floor.
Kurama growled and glared up at Yusuke.
"Get off." He said dangerously.
Yusuke didn't move.
"I'm coming Kurama! GAAAAAA- Huh?" Kuwabara's voice cut off in surprise.
"What the-?" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Would the two of you kindly shut up!" He snapped at the two boys suspended from the ceiling by his vines.
"Kurama-" Yusuke started looking up at the vines securing his ankles to the ceiling.
"SHUSH!" He barked, eye's flashing golden.
"Eep!" Kuwabara and Yusuke yelped snapping their mouths shut.
"Look you two. I don't know how I let you convince me to be a part of this stupid prank but I do know one thing. I will not go down with you. We have to stay awake all night tomorrow, that was his deal. I will be rested and able to stay awake all night without doing humiliating things and acting like a completely different person whereas you will both act ridiculous and or fall asleep. Now shut it and let me go to sleep!" He finished his little speech and stalked away into the bedroom.
"K-Kurama! Aren't you forgetting something?" Yusuke yelped looking pointedly at the leafy bonds holding him upside down from the ceiling.
"No." came the cold answer just before the door shut.
Yusuke wiggle himself back and forth and swung into Kuwabara.
"You idiot look what you did! Now we're stuck up here!" he said angrily.
Kuwabara swung himself back and hit Yusuke.
"What do you mean it's my fault!" He hollered.
And so it continued to the wee hours of the morning when they fell asleep from exhaustion.
When Hiei woke up in the morning he looked around to find only Kurama sleeping peacefully in the room.
When he went outside into the main room he found the reason the idiots weren't inside bugging Kurama and him and laughed for a while. At least they were sleeping. Smirking, he left his team to their sleep. They would need it for that night, when Hiei's revenge was underway.
AN: And so ends The Prank. Although it pains me to end it you don't need to worry, the sequel will be out. Eventually. Thanks to anyone who reviewed me and encouraged me to continue!
