It's a short one, but, it's here. Thanks for all the reviews! I've been writing on Return of the Bat, so I've kinda been distracted from this one. ADHD, dontcha love it? Anyway, for the name Hiei II, you young'ens prolly won't get this joke, but anyone who remembers where the name Audrey II came from should love it LOL
I own nothing. Enjoy!
Kurama was completely absorbed in his conversation with the young girl's mother. Every time he tried to speak, she cut him off again. The people who had got jammed up beside of him were all staring. Kurama was surprised when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around to see...
BAM Stars...
He was sitting on the floor now, right behind his cart. How he got there, God knows. The event replayed in his mind. There was a fist involved somewhere...
"Don't you ever let me see you anywhere near my family again ya sicko-path!"
'The term is psychopath, I do believe,' he thought as he pulled himself up. Part of him, and you can guess which, wanted to stay and contend with these people, but, he instead, turned away. He started driving his cart away from those irrational people. He looked down at his buggy.
'What? Something isn't right- !'
One of the radios was gone! The giggling of a child caught his attention. He turned in the direction the noise was coming from, and saw a boy, maybe 6, holding a Sirius radio, and laughing...at him! He was about to go and demand that his property be returned, when he caught the sight of little hands out the corner of his eye.
Another child, about the same age, had reached into the cart and snagged the remaining radio. After he had committed a minuscule act of thievery against the King of Thieves, he had taken advantage of his small size and disappeared into the crowd.
"I don't believe what I just saw!"
The little redheaded angel that had been sitting on his shoulder all morning, went running for cover after a little, silver-haired fox, with 2 red horns rammed a pitch-fork into his backside. Kurama heard a little voice telling him that it was time to stop playing...
Kurama looked around. He couldn't use his weapons in public like this, and he was one rose short of a full arsenal anyway. He saw signs hanging overhead, leading to the many departments. One stood out to him...
GARDEN CENTER
To a stressed out spirit fox, it read a little differently...
WEAPONS CACHE'
A gleam formed in those emeralds, and he turned his cart to what could possibly be his salvation.
No more Mr. Nice Fox...
As soon as he arrived, he saw his weapon of choice. There were display stands everywhere, with huge pots of poinsettias. He picked out the two with the fullest blooms and stuck them into the cart.
He acted as if he was casually slicking back a few stray hairs, and grabbed a seed as he did so.
A few minutes later...
He had found most of the items he had come for. He no longer had to fear leaving his cart alone to get to what he needed.
Hiei II was taking care of that...
Hiei had always been ready to bite someone's head off, even the hand that fed him. Well, the hands were exactly what was feeding this plant. He had put the seed of a small carnivorous plant in the flower pot, and given it just enough energy to grow. It was only about 6 inches tall, about half the size of a mature Venus flytrap, but twice as fast and 10 times as feisty. It was concealed by the blooms on the poinsettias. Whenever someone went after his hard-earned goodies, it "convinced" them that they didn't want them that bad...
He was ready to proceed to the check-out now. As soon as he got past this line, he would face that final obstacle, and then, he would be home-free.
Or at least, that's what he thought...
Review time! Did anybody catch that Hiei II thing? And yeah, that last part does mean that Kurama's Hell is just starting, it'll get worse next chappie. Hope you guys like this lil' one though. I hope I put the image of a chibi-Yoko with a pitch-fork and devil-horns attacking a chibi-Suichi in your heads! I had to stop writing for a few cause I got that one stuck in mine.
