Thud

He was going insane.

Thud

He truly was.

Thud

He wasn't sure how much more of this he could handle.

BANG!

"Koenma-sama! What are you doing? All I hear in this place is that Koenma-sama didn't finish his paperwork, Koenma-sama blew off a meeting, and Koenma-sama is ignoring his paperwork! What is going on?

Koenma raised his head from his desk to glare blearily at Botan, giving her a clear view of the dent in the wood that had previously been beneath his forehead. "Is there any possible way to fire myself?"

Botan's lip twitched for a second. "I'm sorry, Koenma sir, but I don't think there is. Care to tell this ignorant ferry girl what's going on?"

The prince of Reikai sighed. "As you know, Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei have been staying in Reikai for the past week as they wait for the results of their last mission. Knowing Yusuke, it probably isn't a surprise for you to hear he got bored after less than a day here."

"No, it isn't. Go on."

Koenma tiredly rubbed at his eyes. "For the past week I've had to deal with them getting into trouble. First they held races with each other in every hallway possible. Then Kurama and Yusuke bound Hiei to a pillar and tied his hair with a pink ribbon. Stop snickering, Botan, it's annoying."

"Sorry, Koenma-sama. Please continue."

"We only barely managed to stop Hiei from destroying the entire building. Then they had to go and hang Yusuke from the ceiling with Kurama's vines…"

"That doesn't sound too pleasant."

"And two nights ago Hiei and Yusuke painted mustaches on every sleeping person in the vicinity with permanent purple pen."

"I was wondering why some of the ogres were looking slightly off-color…"

Koenma buried his face in his hands. "Yesterday they had battles all over the palace with tubes of my sparkly gift wrap; and earlier today I heard Kurama mention something about organic bondage to Hiei while the were walking by."

"I find that somewhat disturbing, Koenma-sama."

"So do I. In fact-"

Koenma's tirade was interrupted by the opening of the doors to his office. He warily looked up just in time to see Yusuke poke his head around the door.

"Would you happen to have any peanut butter?" he inquired innocently.

Koenma's face turned red.

"NO! OUT! NOW!"

Yusuke just barely dodged the stamp chucked at his head.
