$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$= That's what I want (money) Ok then, on with the disclaimer
Disclaimer: I've always wanted to be a telepathic person, because then I could think the disclaimer to everyone who reads this. But.....alas, I'm not, I'm just a poor otaku going through an anime withdrawl, so..... pity me.
Oh, yeah, the purpose of this, the Dislaimer..... Me no own. If you sue me you will get all my anime DVD's *sob* that I have hidden away ....MUA-HA-HA- HA- *cough* *cough* Well, keep readin, yo!
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear..... Anonymous Skater du.....de, Happy Birthday to you!" About 5 happy teenagers sang in their best voices, which isn't very good when you put 4 skater guys and 1 fire demon together. Everyone clapped as the ASOFL dude blew out the candles. "dddduuudddeee," all of the other four guys said in unison. Hiei was around the table, but he was too aloof to take part in any ningen conversation. He would answer if he was asked a question, but, other than that, he'd just..... sit there. (oh no) "Okay, like, dudes, can I open presents now?" The ASOFL dude asked to no one in general. "Sssuuurre," they all said (minus Hiei) (yet again) in unison.
"Uhh..yo.....here's your present," Hiei mumbled as he handed a wrapped present to the ASOFL dude. Then the authoress decided to have a flashback to Hiei's tragic past, cuz she said so.
***Flashback***
"Do you have your present yet?" Kurama asked Hiei the day of the party. "Hn," Hiei hn'd as he stuffed the present into Kurama's arms. It was odd in shape, mostly due to the excessive amount of tape and different colors of wrapping paper all helter-skelter (isn't that such a fun word!) and all over the place. Kurama sighed as he looked at Hiei's wrapping masterpiece. "Hiei, did you ever learn to wrap a present?" Kurama asked patiently, while unwrapping the present and attempting to rewrap it. "Hn," he hn'd again, looking out the window at a very odd scene, of a cat mauing a bird and then eating it. Kurama finished wrapping and handed it to Hiei. Hiei stared at it in wonder. How did he make it so perfect? Kurama, being ningen (in a way) would probably know these things. He just let it go and decided to take all the credit if somebody asked.
***End flashback***
"Yo, Hiei, how did you get it wrapped so perfectly, dude?" the ASOFL dude asked. "oh, I've just got wrapping mad skills," hiei replied. "Whoa....." Everyone responded in an awed tone of voice. "Dude, like, you've got..... mad skills?" He asked. "Yeah," Hiei answered and grabbed a coke, then sat on the couch. "Whoa....." They all chorused. Hiei smiled. The ASOFL dude stared at the present Hiei had gotten him. It was a black T-shirt. It had a slogan written on it in white, and some kanji on the back. The slogan read, 'It's not that I'm on something, It's that I'm not on something,' and the kanji on the back read, 'Stay away from me, I have been known to sneeze fireballs when provoked.' (Is there such a kanji? Who cares, It's my story, there is one now.)
The ASOFL dude's party went really well, well.... it did go well until about 10:15 PM (his parents were away), when somebody (not Hiei) got a little drunk and thought he could fly. The house was two stories high. He happened to land in this nice rosebush, and as we all know, rosebush = thorns.
After that, the party was going well. The skater guys had a skateboarding contest down the stair rails in the ASOFL dude's house, and then sat down to watch skater movies, listen to the rock music piped through the entire house (all windows were open), and eat popcorn. It was nearing 1:00 when there was a knock on the door. The ASOFL dude jumped up. "I'll bet it's Johnny!" He grinned. "Yeah!" A random dude shouted. "Johnny always arrives fashionably late!" They all ran to the door. The ASOFL dude got to it first, flung open the door and said- -
"Yo, my man, Johnny, wuz up, yo? We mist ya, but yer here, so let's have some fun! The cops probably won't get here till one," He stopped and got a good look at who he was talking to. He was staring into the angry face of a cop. Actually, a neighborhood crime watch cop. He sauntered inside, whilst (yes, whilst) managing to turn off every single electronic device in sight. i.e.- the TV, the music, the blender (don't ask), etc.
"Might late for you boys to be up, causin a ruckus like this," he stated in a semi-southern accent. "It's my birthday," The ASOFL dude replied boldly. "It is, now, is it?" the cop replied. "Where are your parents, boy?" He asked. "They're out of town," he replied. "Well, I think I'd better break up this here party. Go on home, now," he said, whilst (whilst!) pushing all of the boys out of the door, but totally missing Hiei, who was sitting on the couch in a totally different room.
Hiei casually jumped up off of the couch and walked calmly out of the door, then walking on home. He was glad that the cop had come. He had never before seen a bigger waste of time in his life- well, scratch that, but this was an all time low for him. He was a feared youkai who could blow up stuff on a whim, and yet he had just been to a stupid ningen's birthday party. He reached home and crawled in through a window. It was pretty late, and he didn't want to get caught by Kurama and have to explain why he was home now, at 1:15 AM, instead of the 7:30 PM like he'd planned. Kurama never would buy the 'it was fun, so I stuck around' excuse.
Hiei was nearing the staircase. Facing it was a couch, and -you probably guessed it- Kurama, was sleeping on it. Hiei sighed in relief and proceeded to climb up the staircasse when something stopped him.
"Hold it right there, Hiei," Kurama's voice made Hiei turn around instead of dashing up the stairs into his room. Kurama's rose whip would (not could, but would) cut through it, and then he would get punished, plus the extra bonus of having no door into his room. ""What is it now, Kitsune?" Hiei asked angrily. He decided to go for the 'I didn't hear you say 7:30' plan. "Hiei, do you know what time it is?" Kurama asked again. "Uh..... no?" Hiei replied. "It is one twenty, Hiei. In the morning. Do you know when you were supposed to be home?" Kurama asked again. "Uh.....no?" Hiei replied again. 'Kurama is so not buying the 'uh.....no' plan,' Hiei thought. 'I'll have to try a different strategy,' he thought. "Kitsune, did you really think that I just arrived home?" Hiei asked. I got home late, I confess to that, but certaintly not just now. How long have you been sitting ther, asleep?" Hiei asked.
"I have been sleeping here for several hours," Kurama confessed, not knowing that he had already fallen into Hiei's trap. "Well, just to let you know, I got home around 11:45PM, and was incredibly hungry, so I decided to have a snack. Then, I decided to watch TV. Then, I decided to go on upstairs, but you caught me. And here I am now, in no way deserving any punishment whatsoever." Hiei said this all in one breath. Kurama tsked. The authoress was terribly confused. She didn't want Hiei-chan to be punished, but she didn't want anyone to outfox (heeheehee!) Kurama, so she decided to zap him with extra smart powers!
"Hiei, I was never going to punish you for getting home late," Kurama started to say. 'Yeah!' Hiei thought. 'I knew Kurama would fall for it!' "But lying..... that is something quite deserving of punishment, don't you think so, Hiei?" Kurama asked. 'Darnit! How did he know!' Hiei thought again. (Who ever knew Hiei's thoughts could be so dramatic?) "I will figure out your punishment in the morning, so go on up to bed," Kurama yawned, and stretched out on the sofa. Hiei grumbled while walking up the stairs to his room, where he fell asleep.
The authoress grinned. Things didn't exactly turn up the way she wanted, but screw that. Now the readers get to see Hiei punished! But it will be light, for Sakura-chan loves Hiei. Almost as much as Kurama. But not quite.
Hiei awoke the next morning. It was a cool Autumn Sunday, sometime in early november. He sauntered downstairs, where Yusuke and the resident baka were chowing down on cereal. Yusuke was eating frosted flakes, and Kuwabaka was eating Lucky Charms. Hiei grabbed a container and poured himself some iced tea, and settled down with a bagel to read the comics section. On Sundays, they were in color.
He had just gotten through one page, when Kurama came in.
He sat down in his chair, and said, "Okay, we're going to have some.....sort of group meeting regarding something I need to talk to you all about. He walked into the living room, beckoning everyone else to follow. Hiei immediately thought it would be about his excessive stealing and his punishment for last..... um..... this morning. Yusuke immediately thought it would be that he had eaten two pumpkin pies that week, gained 5 pounds, and was ruining their budget. Kuwabaka had immediately thought about nothing, because he can not think at that high of a complication level. They all followed Kurama into the living room, prepared for the worst.
"In several weeks there is a holiday that people celebrate here in the U.S," Kurama started. "It is called Thanksgiving. Normally, during Thanksgiving, people go on vacations. I have decided that we shall go on a vacation, using the money that I have earned at work. We are going to New York City in exactly 20 days to celebrate Thanksgiving there. Any questions, comments, concerns?" Kurama looked around the room. Hiei looked relieved, Yusuke looked relieved, and Kuwabaka looked bewildered. "What's a vacation?" He asked. Yusuke slugged Kuwabaka upside the head, and he became unconscious. Kurama looked at him questionably. "That makes things easier," Yusuke said.

So, my readers, how was this chappie-ter? Next, they will all be on the plane a-headin up to NYC. Oh, and, I am basing their trip on a Thanksgiving trip I did myself (with family)to NYC several years ago. Well, that was basically it for this chappie-ter, tune in next time for another exiting episode of..... THE TITLE! Very thought-provoking, I know......
Money Money Money,
From one who has none.
