Frolicking Chibis: Chapter Four
Hello! Sorry for taking so long on updating. A lots been happening here. Hurricane, going to Texas, AND FINISHING THE YUMMY FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST SERIES. (heart heart) I am definitely proud of myself for that. :D But, this is a Yu Yu Hakusho fan fiction, so what am I flapping my gums about? Heh heh.
I hope you enjoy this chapter of my odd fic (I have totalyl forgotten what song this chapter's title came from). And thank you, foxygirlchan,for the info on Hiei. :3
Chapter Four: There is no Eternity
Everyone must've gained a TON after their little carbonated escapade, since ever inch of their bodies felt stiff. No one was really in the mood to talk, but Hiei and Kurama whispered to each other from their placement in the dim, lit corner.
"What happens next?" Hiei muttered.
"I don't know," responded Kurama honestly. "What are children interested in nowadays?"
"Technically," a high voice squeaked, "we aren't kids! Just chibis, a good source of comic-relief!"
The couple looked up. It was chibi Botan, looking about ten times more determined than usual.
"Then what do you like, Botan?" the red-haired boy asked kindly.
"Him, for starters," Botan said, winking at Hiei.
Her victim (Hiei, of course!) remained silent; biting his lower lip to refrain from something Kurama would make him apologize for. And the word 'sorry' wasn't exactly in THIS demon's vocabulary.
"And…?"
"Barney!"
"What the hell is that?" Hiei blurted out.
"I think I've heard of it," revoked Kurama. "It's an American children's program starring a dark-skinned man in a dinosaur outfit—which, apparently, is considered offending."
"…?"
"In other words, it's legal nicotine. For children."
Botan grinned from ear to ear, plopping herself onto Hiei's lap. "Indeed, Master."
"What the—!" the scarlet-eyed boy spat. "Get OFF me!"
"Why?" Botan whined.
"Because Kurama and I are dating!" Hiei shouted without thinking.
There was a long, uncomfortable buzz of silence silence. The two gaped in awe at Hiei.
"You two are GAY?" Botan muttered. "Wow… Interesting. To be honest, I thought you were related, considering the dull expressions you always seem to have. But I guess you learn something new every day.
"The only difference is… Master smiles more than Hiei! You seem angry at the world," she sighed, glaring at Hiei. "Pfft. Angst machines…"
As odd as Kurama felt, he decided to fall along.
"Yep," the fox simply uttered, standing up. With fake enthusiasm, he added, "And get off him, or I'll be forced to subtract ten years from your life."
Botan shakily got to her feet, holding back a frown. Everyone always seemed to have some sort of GRUDGE against her.
Hiei got up as well, dusting himself off. He blushed a pretty crimson, looking half-awake. He just wanted to cuddle up in a ball and go to sleep, unaware of his surroundings…
And that's just what he did.
Thanks so much! Love ya. :D
