Chapter 7: Surfing and Hot Dogs

"Mine are bigger!" yelled Kuwabaka.

"Yeah, but you punch like a girl!" Yusuke yelled.

" Hey!" Alyson yelled back.

"Stop arguing! I'm listening to Jessica Simpson." Erika yelled with her headphones on. I can't believe she heard the arguing; I heard her headphones from across the room.

" Kuso Japanese swear word Jessica Simpson. I wanna get out of here!" I yelled.

" Jessica Simpson is great!" Erika screamed.

" She stinks. Mortal combat music is better" Aly said.

I made a gagging sound. You see, she loves mortal combat. Once, she made me a mix and put on 10 songs from that game alone. However, I hate that game and the music because I am terrible at the stupid thing. I mean, I think I only beat her once and it was because her wrist was broken. After that, she continued on to beat me 10 times. With a broken wrist. That's how bad I am. Well, after I pretended to gag, she shot another rubber band at me.

" You know that's getting old" I said calmly as I tried to pull the rubber band out. Somehow, it was totally stuck to my hair.

" Bakeonna! stupid woman It's stuck!" I yelled.

Everyone just burst out laughing. Kurama helped me get it out, though. The funny thing was that Hiei and Aly were laughing the hardest. Soon, they were hugging each other laughing so hard. As soon as they noticed, they faced away, blushing the tiniest bit, and pouted. It was funny to watch. Unfortunately, Aly didn't think it was so funny and I ended up with a bump on my head.

"You're so annoying sometimes!" I yelled.

"So are you!"

We began to glare at each other. Then, I just giggled. I wasn't very good at glaring. She just sighed and stretched.

" I need to get out of here!" she yelled.

" I just said that!"

" No, you said I want to get out of here!"

" Same difference!" I yelled, taking a leaf out of the things Aly says that makes no sense book.

" That's my line!"

" Whatever"

Well, we eventually got out. Me and Aly made fun of the fat people on the beach while Erika stared at hot guys. Yusuke and Kuwabaka were still arguing about who was the strongest. Hiei and Kurama were being themselves. Then, we stopped at a sign.

" Hey look! A surfing contest!" I yelled.

" Oh! Winner gets free food!" Aly yelled.

" hot guys!" Erika said.

" Once and for all, I can prove that I'm better than you!" Yusuke yelled.

" Hey, Yukina! The winner gets a free dinner for two!" Kuwabara yelled.

"This sounds like a challenge. Are you entering Hiei?" Kurama asked.

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a yes"

So, we went to the beach to sign up. Everyone except me and Yukina signed up. Just then, a crazy thought popped into my head.

"Kuwabara… you can't swim."

That messed up his plans. Badly. Yukina giggled. Kuwabara ended up not signing up, not being able to swim. Then, I thought of something else.

"Since when have any of you learned how to surf?"

"Ok, dudes. I know many of you have never surfed before. I know that some of you may have no experience on the waves. But at the end of today, you'll be surfing like a pro! Now, let's hit the waves!"

"This should be interesting." I said to Yukina next to me.

"I know! I sure hope Hiei does well…"

I tried not to laugh, only to fail.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing." I said quickly, stopping my laughter.

Kurama quickly got the hang of it, his hair waving in the wind until it was soaked in the waves, then laying perfectly on his muscular shoulders. I mean, certainly, he looked gay, but dammit, why are all the hot men so GAY!

Hiei was not as quick as Kurama because of his weight issue. The waves kept on tossing him off the board. Once he got the hang of it, he did well. His hair stayed still, no matter how soaked it got.

Yusuke kept on falling, but eventually stayed on for ten seconds. Aly was doing ok, but not nearly as well as Kurama or Hiei. Erika was too hyper, and as soon as she stood up she would yell. Then fall off.

Kuwabara? He had tried to surf before on his own, only to get smacked with the board and realize in deep water that he couldn't swim. Then he would realize he had water wingies on.

"Great job today, dudes!" The surfer/stoner yelled.

"Let's grab some food." I said when they were done.

We stopped at a food stand. Erika, Aly, and the boys bought hot dogs. I bought a pretzel along with Yukina. We continued along the beach.

"This is strange." Hiei stated.

"It's called a hot dog." Aly said taking a bite.

"What's in it?"

"Uh…" Aly stared at me, I stared at Erika, she stared at Kurama, who stared at Yusuke and it went around until we were all looking at each other.

"I think I got the wrong thing." Hiei tossed it.

"It's not that bad." Erika said, taking a bite of hers.

Unfortunately, those dogs were slippery and it slid out of the bun onto Hiei. He seemed alright with it.

"What did you just do to me?" He yelled.

Erika, being kind hearted but childish, looked away from him, frightened.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it."

"You just ruined my clothes!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Leave her alone, Hiei!" I yelled, always protective of her.

"Hn. Stupid kitten." Hiei muttered as he wiped the ketchup off.

"He'll be over this by tomorrow." Kurama whispered.

There were no fights over the TV at first, mostly because the remote was broken and nobody wanted to get up to change the channel. The TV was on ESPN for the longest time before Erika spoke up.

"It's the OC tonight. I wanna watch." She complained.

"Hn." That meant no and that he still hadn't recovered from the hot dog incident.

"I don't wanna watch the OC." Aly complained.

"Let her watch. We brought plenty of Mangas. Theirs nothing on tonight anyway."

"But the show is so stupid, so annoying."

"You're not changing the channel." Hiei calmly stated as if we were idiots and wouldn't be able to change it anyway.

It was something on martial arts and Hiei was strangely interested in it. Either that or he imagined beating up those wimps. He has a Napoleon Complex, I swear. Turned out to be entirely different.

"Please?" she begged, eyes pleading and wide.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because you insulted me in public."

"It was an accident. I'm sorry. It's not my fault that you reacted slow."

Strike one.

"Slow? I'm super quick!"

"Well, maybe you weren't paying attention. After all, I doubt you could have seen the hot dog slipping out of my hand."

Strike two, she implied Hiei was short.

"Are you calling me short?"

"Uh, well… It's fine to be short. I'm sure you're going to have a growth spurt soon."

Strike 3. Hiei decided to scare her, but I thought he was going to attack her. I stood in front of her, but when I saw Hiei come close, I covered my face and looked away. Hiei laughed.

"Awe, the little kitten wants to be a hero. Kitten can't even protect herself, the little wimp. I thought for a second you were brave before, but now I see you're just a coward. A stupid sentimental coward!" Hiei walked away, satisfied at having insulted me. I looked down. Verbal abuse was nothing new. I was always called a wimp at school. But this time, I also felt like a real jerk.

"I'm going to take a walk." I huffed, heading out into the night.

"wait!" Kurama yelled, but I slammed the door.

"She'll be fine." Aly said. "she's sensitive, but after the walk she'll be fine, better than ever. Don't worry about her."

"She looked pretty hurt."

"She's been through worse." Aly murmured.

"What?"

"I ain't tellin'. You can't make me."

"Well, then, I'll find out for myself."

Kurama followed me, alone, into the night.
