Chappie-ter numero diez-y-ocho: The screwed-up Mall

Disclaimer: Woohoo! Boy does it feel good to write a disclaimer for The Title! …I mean I own nothing! …Yeah, that's it!

"Ooh, this looks like a mall!" Sakura exclamined as the tantei journeyed across the street in search of shopping. "Dur, ya think that the words 'Manhattan Mall' give it away?" Yusuke said. "…I knew that," Sakura replied quietly.

"Well, let's enter and get some grub!" He said. Then, Yusuke turned to Hiei. "Dude, take off your sweatshirt. It's so hot now, and you must be boiling."

Hiei frowned. "Nah, he answered."

Sakura caught on to why Hiei seemed so reluctant to take off his sweatshirt. She took out a medium-sized empty shopping bag. "Put the stuff in here," She said.

Hiei sighed, and started to take out objects hidden from under his sweatshirt. Most of it was jewelry.

"It's a bottomless void…like Mary Poppins' bag," Kuwabara said.

"Ningen no baka," Hiei answered, now taking clothes out of his sweatshirt.

'No wonder he took so long getting across the street,' Yusuke thought. 'That must have been painful.'

Five minutes and another bag later, they entered Manhattan Mall, along with the dozens of shoppers whose entrance had been blocked by the tantei.

"WHOAAAAAA…" They all said. They were in an atrium of sorts, with pretty glass elevators reaching up seven stories, shops lining the walls.

"Let's go up and eat! I'm starving!" Sakura told them. They got an elevator and went up a floor. No food. They went up another floor. A WacDonalds was in sight.

"WacDonalds! They're everywhere!" Yusuke said. "Come on, it's not wise to stand blocking the elevator," Kurama mentioned.

WacDonalds was very crowded, and it was quite small inside. "I'll get seats, and you get food," Sakura told them. She headed towards a corner of the restaurant.

"I'll have a bacon cheeseburger, large fries, and a coke," Yusuke ordered. "Caesar salad with a parfait and an iced tea," Kurama ordered. "I'll have a big mac," Kuwabara ordered. Hiei remained silent.

"I…I've never eaten fast food before." He stammered.

"Awww, does the little boy want a happy meal?" The cashier asked. Hiei remained silent.

"…Sure," Kurama said, "Also, a chicken sandwich and another iced tea," He remembered Sakura and ordered for her.

"The total is $18.25." The cashier told them. Hiei took a hand out of his pocket, clenching dollar bills.

"Will this pay for it?" He asked.

"Hiei, that's over $200! Where did you get all that?" Kuwabara shouted.

"This will do." Kurama took a twenty-dollar bill out of Hiei's hand. He paid the cashier and gave the change back to Hiei.

Sakura was waiting with a large table and waved them over to her. "What'd ya get me?' She asked.

Kurama handed her the sandwich and the drink. They all started eating. Hiei stared at his happy meal.

"Do they put these ridiculous games on here expecting people to take time to read them?" Hiei asked.

"Hey, you're doing it," Yusuke answered. Hiei was silent as he ate his kid-sized bag of fries.

"What is this?" He pulled out a toy from the bag. It was pink in color, and looked like a rat, except it had no hair on it. He clenched it in his fist. Through the plastic bag it was contained in, it squeaked.

"Says here his name is Rufus," Sakura mentioned. [1] "Stupid name for a stupid toy," Hiei dropped it on the table. It squeaked upon impact.

Sakura found this funny and picked up the toy. "It squeaks!" She said.

"Thank you for that earth-shattering news," Yusuke replied.

"That is sooo…cuuute!" She then proceeded to squeak the toy until it broke. Three squeaks later. "Stupid cheap plastic toy…" Sakura dropped it on the table. It squeaked upon impact.

"IT LIVES!" Sakura crowed, and started squeaking it again. By now she had gotten the attention of the passersby and the staff, who were giving each other uneasy looks.

"I…am not a terrorist," She announced. Rufus stopped squeaking. Sakura started banging it on the table in hopes to make it squeak again.

Kuwabara was laughing his head off, Kurama was throwing out everyone's food, and Yusuke and Hiei were in a thumb war. "I win!" Yusuke shouted.

They exited the WacDonald's and started shopping. The stores there were dismal. "They have nothing!" Sakura wailed. "…Let's try the next floor," Kurama suggested.

They went up a floor. One sprint store. The next floor had a Starbucks in construction. The next floor had several boring touristy shops. " The next floor is the last one," Kuwabara announced. They went up a floor. There sat a monstrous arcade and food court.

"Arcade!" Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted. They ran for the racing games.

"Food court!" Sakura ran for the nearest vendor. Kurama and Hiei stood, confused. "I'll play you in air hockey," Kurama suggested.

They walked over to a table, where a group of kids were playing. Hiei walked up to them and took the equipment from the kids. "Hey! We were playing!" They protested. Hiei ignored them. "Looks like we're playing for free," he said. They started to play the game. Since they were playing off of the kid's time, Kurama had 5 goals and Hiei had 1. Sakura came over to watch with a Styrofoam bowl of noodles. Hiei was on an all-out offense, whacking the puck so hard it almost flew off the table. Kurama was whacking back each whack, and they had built up a rally that was wearing down the table.

The time went out with them both tied for 6 goals. The hockey table now had several dents on it. "That was some extreme game," Sakura commented. "I can't believe they put the food and the games on the last floor." Yuske and Kuwabara came up to them. "I can't believe Urameshi beat me again at that game," Kuwabara complained.

"Let's go," Sakura said. "Where?" Yusuke asked. "To the hotel," Sakura answered.

They walked outside and were blinded by the sunlight. "This…is going to be interesting," Sakura said. "Nani?" Kuwabara asked. "Someone's got to hail a taxi to get us back."
