Chapter 9:

Ah. Yet another day of NOOOO missions! But… this time, they YYH gang has to keep entertained, as last time, they went on a mild killing spree. Well, Hiei, Yusuke, Ailias, and Lee did anyway… Kurama and Kuwabara were disgusted by what they were planning on doing. A harmless prank that would cause millions of dollars worth of damage. Hardly harmless. Anyway, they promised Koenma they'd keep entertained, AND SEPARATED! He did not want, nor need another killing spree to take place, although enjoyable for the four demon assassins. But anyway, Ailias and Lee decided to watch a horror movie after lunch. Kurama thought a nice trip to the plant nursery was called for. But, because of the huge storm the night before, the nursery was closed, so he went to the movies. Kuwabara and Yusuke went for an all day field trip to the arcade. But… they eventually ran out of quarters, so they went to see Kung Fu 2, but it was sold out. Hiei snuk into a popular teen hang out to see a moving picture on a screen. How quaint, they all ended up at the movies, huh? Anyway…

Ailias and Lee took their seats in the very front so they could throw popcorn at the corny parts in the movie. Kurama made his way down to the front of the theatre since all the noisy people were in the back since it was easier to hear and go back out for snacks. As he reached the front row, he noticed to familiar demon bodies he had seen almost everyday. Oh well, he thought, We are still somewhat separated. He took a seat next to Lee.

"HI KURAMA!" She squealed. He waved nervously. Ailias leaned over.

"She had sweet snow for lunch. With a mountain of toppings." She informed Kurama.

"Oh," He replied. "And you let her?" Ailias shrugged, plopping another piece of popcorn in her mouth. The previews started up.

Yusuke and Kuwabara dashed into the theatre and took their seats just as the previews began. They noticed Ailias, Lee, and Kurama down in front. Because they were in the back, and the other three were in the front, they were still separated by at least a hundred people. Little did they know that Hiei was in the theatre right next to them, viewing Kung Fu 2, the movie they had just missed by one ticket.

As the horror movie rolled on, quite a few odd things took place. At the first sign of danger, the characters on the screen did what any old horror movie did. They went looking for the trouble all alone. Once the monster popped up, Kuwabara had somehow landed in Yusuke's lap. Yusuke punched his lights out. At the climax of the movie, Lee had hidden her eyes with Ailias's trench coat. Ailias had been stroking her head when she first started hiding behind the coat, but Ailias's arm soon grew tired and she stopped. Kurama's turn. He rubbed her shoulder and offered her some soda. The small kit dropped the coat and took the soda gladly. Ailias once again leaned over to Kurama.

"Thank you." Ailias said relieved. Lee had never been afraid of a movie before and she didn't know how to handle it. Kurama nodded.

In the next theatre over, Hiei was stunned at how stupid this thing called Kung Fu 2 was. Their mouths would move, but no sound would come out, but then it would like a minute later and wouldn't stop until after the mouth had stopped moving. Hiei was truly stunned. They didn't even really hit each other. The 'blood' was too lumpy to be blood, and the film was in black and white. Watching Jerry Springer was more interesting than this bull shit. And that show was pretty damn stupid. Still, he couldn't stop watching. It was so stupid, it was good. He actually laughed.

After the two movies were over, the first theatre had popcorn lining the screen and some teeth and a few blood splatters all over the floor. Lee once again heard nature calling and ran to answer. Kurama and Ailias felt like passing out after taking care of the little one. Kuwabara was almost unrecognizable, with bruises and bumps all over his face. This was actually an improvement! Hiei was in a freakishly weird mood. He felt like going over to Kurama's house and helping out with the garden. He walked over to the wall and began to bang his head until there was a dent the size of Yusuke's ego. Bad feeling, bad!

Ailias and Kurama took seat on a bench near the snack stand to rest. Lee ran up to them after releasing her bladder. Yusuke and Kuwabara had some quarters left over after buying popcorn and soda, so they headed towards the games when they noticed the two passed out demons on the bench and the little hyper demon circling them.

"Hey, Kurama, Ailias, Lee." Yusuke greeted. Lee stopped running around in her little circle and Kurama and Ailias glanced at them. Kurama stood up and rested his head on Yusuke's shoulder.

"Hi…" He said, muffled as Yusuke's shoulder absorbed most of the sound.

"You OK?" Kuwabara poked Kurama's head until Kurama grasped his hand tightly. It turned blue.

"Yes…"

"Aw," Lee started. Did that movie scare you too?" Kurama lifted his head and smiled. He looked to Ailias who had just passed out. Hiei appeared out of no where and began to poke her.

"She's out," He concluded after a few minutes of poking her.

"So what're y'all gonna do?" Yusuke asked. "I know me and Kuwabara are gonna meet some video games."

"Well," Kurama answered. "We should probably carry Ailias back to the den, huh?"

"Yeah," Lee agreed. "Just don't tell her anyone carried her. She'll kill something."

"I'm going to go… somewhere…" Hiei said. They all stared as he turned to view another movie. And with that, Kurama slung Ailias over his shoulder and held Lee's hand. After what happened the last time he let her wander, he wasn't letting go any time soon.

Yusuke and Kuwabara turned to the video games and inserted a few quarters. Just as Yusuke began to get into the game, Keiko, his 'girl friend' showed up.

"YUSUKE!" She yelled angrily. Yusuke sighed.

"That's my cue." He told Kuwabara. A little boy and his dog are across the street playing. The boy throws the stick and the dog chases it. AMAZING! HE does it again too! Yelling can be heard in the background. A loud SLAP follows. Keiko stormed out of the theatre. Yusuke followed her and grabbed her arm. He has a red hand print on his face. I wonder where the slap came from?

Hiei stared at the screen of yet another movie. This time, a movie called, 'Sappy and Sappier'. Something we would call a chick flick. Even I am forced to watch those. At the end of this film, Hiei exits in tears. Aw! He has a soft side too! He beats himself up for displaying such an emotion.

Kurama laid Ailias in her bed and drew the covers over her motionless body. He would be dead in the morning. Lee pounced on him. He looked at her confused.

"Can you cook?" She asked desperately. He smiled and nodded. He gave her a piggy back ride into the kitchen.

I know… a slow moving chapter with no action, but with all the action in the last chapter, the Rekai Tantei wouldn't let me write an action packed chapter. Even anime characters need a break. I promise that the next chapter will be loads of fun! I truly promise!

KJ and Niki signing off!

PS: This'll probably be one of the last fun facts.
