Chapter six: breakfast and a rave

"Good morning everyone!" Kohaku was a little too cheerful for everyone else in the room. She walked over to the table and picked up an apple. As she bit into it, she winked at Kurama. Kurama looked down at his coffee with a blush on his face.

Sai walked into the room and sat down at the table, motioning for Kuwabara to give her a cup of coffee. She then proceeded to put in a double serving of sugar and creamer. Yusuke stared at her, eye twitching. It can't be normal how much sugar her and Hiei eat. I mean, just last week, the little guy ate enough ice-cream to kill a little kid. Yusuke watched as Sai downed her coffee in one gulp, a look of morbid fascination on his face.

She wiped her mouth on the back of her hand and looked over to Yusuke, who was still staring at her, right eye twitching.

"What? Haven't you ever seen a woman drink coffee before? Men, sheesh." she mumbled, more to herself than to him.

Hiei sat down beside her with a plate heaping full of French toast. He grabbed the syrup bottle and poured half of its contents on the stack. He shoved the first piece in his mouth at one time, then looked over to Yusuke, who was staring at him in horror.

"What?" he asked, not seeing anything wrong.

"Oh nothing. It's just I thought you and Sai can't possibly be normal because of how high your sugar level happens to be!" Yusuke yelled.

Hiei and Sai stared at him blinking. They looked at one another, then at Yusuke. Sai busted out laughing.
"But, we're not normal. We are full demon, while you on the other hand are only half. It's normal that we have a higher intake of sugar, seeing as we need more energy than you do." Sai replied intelligently. Hiei blinked again, looking for all the word like an innocent kid caught robbing a candy store.

Wait, Hiei? Looking innocent? There is definitely something wrong with me. Sai snapped out of her reverie when Lexi came in holding a necklace made entirely of tear gems.

"Here, Kaasan. I made this for you. Maybe all my tears will keep you from crying too." She handed the necklace to Sai, who put the necklace on instantly.

"Thank you, Lexi. It's beautiful. If only the gems were green instead of pale-blue." ( note pale-blue tear gems are from fear, while green are from laughter.) She looked down at Lexi and smiled, patting her lap for her to jump up.

Hiei stopped eating long enough to look at Lexi in Sai's arms. 'I wonder what she was crying about this morning. I saw her and Sai out on the balcony before the sun came up,' Hiei told Kurama.

'I don't know. Maybe she had a bad dream and Sai heard her crying and went out to comfort her.' Kurama seemed to think about that for a minute than added, 'It's not uncommon for women to feel when their children are upset.'

Hiei gave one last look at the pair before diving back into his breakfast. Kohaku sat back watching the mornings antics with an uncharacteristic smile on her face. Lexi noticed this smile , however. She pulled on her mother's arm until she, too, saw the smile.

"What are you thinking of, Kohaku? That smile only comes out for three reasons: sex, death, and raving. And right now, I'd say its between the first and last." Sai nearly laughed at the feign innocent look Kohaku gave her.

"You know what, Sai? Today is Saturday. You know what that means, right? I think we are going to play dress-up with the boys later, don't you two?" She smiled again. Her and Sai sent mischievous looks to the four men in their kitchen.

The four men looked at one another and gulped.

"I...I can't. I have to get home to Keiko. She'll kill me because I didn't come home last night. Sorry I don't feel like getting pumbled by my wife today." Yusuke was grinning, rubbing his neck in a nervous gesture.

"Aw. that's too bad. I thought we could have a bit of fun with you later." Kohaku pouted.

"Uh. Yeah, Urameshi's right. I have to get home before my sister kills me. Shizuru is very scary when she's mad." Kawabara shuddered. Kurama and Yusuke nodded in agreement and Hiei snorted.

"I guess it's just us five then, Kohaku, since some people want to be party poopers. Men. They pretend to be all big and bad until it comes to a woman's temper. Well, I have to get a shower." Sai said, standing up. "Maybe after that, we can play dress-up with a fox and a firebaby, huh, Lexi?" The child giggled while Hiei glared at her.

Later that night

"Come on Hiei. I have a surprise for you." Sai said, gently pulling him towards her room. Hiei looked over to Kurama for help and saw in horror Kohaku was doing the same to him.

Lexi ran after her parents. "Kaasan, I want to help with Tousan. Can I please, please, please?" Lexi was bouncing around the hallway.

Sai sighed and said, "Okay, Lexi. Look in the wardrobe and grab the special box. Oh, and grab a blindfold. I don't want Hiei peeking until he's done." At that, she poked him in the arm. Sai guided him to a chair in the middle of the room and pushed him into it. She grabbed a rope and tied him down, knowing he would try to escape.

"Hn. What are you going to do? Put makeup on me and take pictures? Even Kuwabaka knows better than to do that. You do know I can just burn through these ropes, right?" Hiei stated, glaring at Sai.

"I know. That's also another reason why Lexi is here. She can just freeze you until I get done if you struggle too much. She has mastered all of her powers and she's not even six yet." At this Hiei sweat dropped.

That's impossible! She couldn't have mastered all of her powers yet. I'm almost 100 years old and I'm still working on mine.

"Here, Kaasan. Do you want me to get the clothes yet?" Lexi asked, holding a colorful box out to her mother.

"Sure. Just lay them on the bed. I want to do his Hair and makeup first so I don't get any on the clothes we bought earlier." Sai said as she grabbed a tube of blue hair dye. She put the blindfold over Hiei's eyes. He felt her wet his hair, the comb the blue through his hair. He sat there for as long as he could, but fell asleep before she finished.

When he woke up, he walked over to the mirror and saw his hair was highlighted blue, he had green kohl under his eyes, and he was covered head-to-toe in glitter. He was wearing a pair of tight black jeans artfully ripped and faded and a black muscle shirt. He had on a spiked necklace, two spiked bracelets, four sweat bands and twenty black sex bracelets. Definitely the work of a kitsune.

He looked up just as Sai walked in wearing tight blue jeans ripped and faded and a black and blue muscle shirt. Her black and silver hair was put up in double buns with smooth black chopsticks poking out. She had on the tear gem necklace from Lexi and the one from him almost six years ago. She was wearing twelve sex bracelets, four spiked bracelets, two sweatbands, a spiked collar, seven pairs of multicolored spiked ball earrings and she had chains hanging from her pants and around her waist.

She had black and purple kohl under her eyes and designs of vines drawn on the corners of her eyes. She was also covered in glitter. She was simply punked out and beautiful doing it.

"What? Is there something wrong with the way I look?" Sai asked, a bit miffed that he was staring at her.

Hiei realized he was staring at her. He couldn't help it. She just looked so damn good standing there. 'No. Nothing wrong. You just look beautiful like that. That's all.' He told her telepathically, not trusting his voice. 'Maybe we should check on the fox. I'm worried what Kohaku did to him if this is what you did to me.'

Sai was laughing. "Yeah. That might be a good idea. The glitter goth techno freak strikes again. I hate to see what you would look like if she did you. She has an obsession with things that sparkle."

Together they walked out of the room and down the hall to see what Kurama had been transformed into for the night. Sai stopped at the door of Kohaku's room. She heard laughing and screaming coming from inside.

"Kohaku, Lexi. Can I come in? I want to see why Kurama is screaming." Lexi opened the door, still laughing. Sai gave her a questioning look and Lexi shook her head. She pushed the door aside and gave her mother full view of what the laughing was about.

Youko was standing in front of the mirror and pulling at his hair. He turned around when he heard Sai gasp. "Youko? How the hell? What the hell? What happened to Kurama? And what did Kohaku do to you?" Sai had a million questions.

"Uh, sorry I didn't tell you last night, Sai. I'm an avatar. That means Kurama's body is just protecting my soul until my body builds back up. If my energy is high enough, or someone tampers with things, I can revert to my natural form for a time." Youko was trying to explain how his life had changes to his twin.

"I like Ojisan better as Youko. He's a real kitsune then and he looks better." Lexi was standing by the door with a Hiei-like expression on her face.

"Uh, thanks Lexi. I think," Youko had a bemused look on his face. He turned back to the mirror and started pulling at his hair again. His natural silver hair had been streaked with black, red, and blue. His tail was done the exact same way. He had a reddish pink tear gem one of his ears.

His stunning golden eyes were rimmed by thick black kohl, making them glow an amber color. Glitter was shining on his cheeks and neck. His usual white tunic was shredded and had a black and yellow pattern absently drawn on. He had a black and red rose on his arm, the vine trailing down to his wrist and entwined around his fingers.

He turned to look at Kohaku. "Ya know, I think I like it this way. What do you think, Sai?" Youko turned to look at his sister.

"I like it. It looks really good like that. Heh you should wear your clothes like that more often. Plus I think Kohaku likes your true form. You've got her drooling."

Everyone turned to see Kohaku staring at Youko with little heart-shaped eyes. Youko sweat dropped and looked away. "Okay, Kohaku. Snap out of it. It's time to go." Sai walked to Kohaku and snapped her fingers in front of her face.

"Come to think of it, Where exactly are you taking us, Sai?" Hiei asked, a little puzzled.

She turned around and gave him a smile and said, "You'll see. But for right now it's a secret, Kay?" With that, she winked and walked out of the room.
