The Story of Mace

There he sat, tattered clothes, with the fresh scent of stink. He was in an alley way of place in downtown Tokyo. His red hair matted on top of his head, he was drooling from his mouth. If you would of come across this man just sitting there watching the wall, you would of known he was on more than one drug. Maybe you would of known he was high and drunk as well. Yes this man was in horrible shape as he sat watching the show on the wall of some inner city apartment complex.

There she was the woman of his fantasies, with black hair. She was petite, but looked strong. She rode on the back of a Elephant down New York's main street. As if she was in a parade she waved to no one. As she came closer to Mace she smiled and winked at him. He jumped for joy as he ran towards her, though as he ran closer she slowly faded until, WHAK, he was down for the count.

Within due time he awoke and caught his sorroundings. Where was she? The woman he was watching on in elephant in New York. "I must find her," he shouted looking at the wavy sight before him. His vision not so good with all the acid, coke, weed, and alcohol raging through his system. He took balance only to fall over and get sick all over the pavement. Followed by him passing out due to all the things in his system.

When he finally awoke for the second time it was just begining to be light. He sat up feeling totally normal, But where was he? He looked at all his sorroundings, he was laying in a bunk bed. He was stripped to his boxers that didn't leave much to the imagination. To his right was a window which light was only just beginning to peak through.

"He is awake," he heard a woman yell. He winced in pain as he noticed his hang-over from the alcohol.

"Good then go help him," Another woman yelled at the first.

"He is your case!" a third who was much farther away from the other two yelled at the second.

"Shud up I know that, but he is practicly naked in there! I can't go in there! I've got a man," the second yelled back at the third.

"It's fine with me," a man said he was right out side his door.

"I hate you dontcha know?" The second woman said walking into the room. She was short with brown hair, a very pretty girl to say the least. She stared at him holding her nose. "If you would please come with me and you can take a shower or bath which ever your liking," she sounded wierd talking with her nose plugged. Mace hoped that's what her real voice sounded like. He reluctantly got out of the nice warm bed, he looked down at him self, thin and boney. What had he done to his body these past years? He looked back up only to see the brown haired beauty jerk away quickly, he knew she had been staring at him. Did she like what she saw? he wondered.

She turned and motioned for him to follow, they walked out of the room and across the hall to a bathroom, "Now if you need help taking a bath that isn't my job."

"Well whose is it then?" He wondered wanting a beautiful lady to soap him up.

"My friend Yaniki will," she said with her nose still plugged tightly. "Are you going to need help?"

Mace walked towards the tub almost falling, "I believe I may."

"Fine then. YANIKI COME GIVE HIM A BATH!" She yelled out the bathroom door.

"He is your case!" the third voice he heard earlier was at the door. Though he couldn't see what she looked like.

"She isn't giving him a bath!" The man's voice was now also heard outside the door. "YANIKI COME GIVE HIM A BATH!"

"I'M COMING I'M COMING HOLD YOUR STUPID HORSES!" He heard the second voice from earlier yell. "I was eating." She said right outside the bathroom door.

"Great your making a porker wash me!" Mace said out loud on accident.

"Are you calling me fat?" Yaniki walked in the room. Mace's jaw dropped, it was her the woman on the elephant. He looked up and praised the gods that she Yaniki most fair in the land was going to scrub him up.

"No ma'am," He said in a british accent.

"Told ya he was English, Kurama pay up," the brunette walked out of the bathroom shutting the door. A second later she popped back in, "Yaniki use the bleach on him please," she said popping back out.

"Alright my name is Yaniki and I will be your wash girl today, now take those boxers off don't be embarrassed," she eyed him smiling.

"Why not?" He questioned her.

"While I was undressing you I already peeked," she moved towards him, he never moved. "Take them off," she urged stepping closer.

"And if I don't?" He challenged folding his arms.

"Then this happens," she grabbed the sides of his boxers with her nail lightly pressing into his sides. "Now watch," She ripped them down dragging her nails all the way down his legs to his feet.

"WITCH," He screamed feeling the burning sensation all the way down starting at his hips.

OUTSIDE

"I guess he wouldn't take his boxer's off," Rika giggled sitting on the couch with her friend Lash and Kurama.

"You know Yaniki is loving every minute of it though," Lash stated as the two laughed harder.

"Girls," Kurama shook his head as the channel on the tv changed. "Hey."

"Oh sorry to interupt. What are you two laughing at?" the toddler Koenma looked at them from the television.

"Yaniki is giving Mace a bath," Lash laughed trying her best to make Koenma hear her right.

"Okay...," Koenma didn't get why it was so funny.

"Anyway's Koenma sir," Kurama rolled his eye's at the two girls still laughing.

"Oh yes anyways, Rika since you asked for a house for you and Kurama I decided to give you guys this one. Though I don't know why you deserve it you haven't got the last 2 people yet," Koemna started at her as she slowly stopped laughing.

"You haven't told me who they were yet sir that's why. I've been waiting here patiencetly for about 5 month's now," she gave her boss an evil glare.

"Oh yes right, well at least your doing something now with Mace," Koenma mentioned looking at something on his desk.

"Yeah Koenma sir what is Rika supposed to be doing with Mace?" Kurama stared at the screen.

"Well he will be living with you, and I've set him up a job. So now all you need to do is keep him off the drugs," Koenma spoke fast before the connection cut out.

"And how are we supposed to watch him as he comes and goes to work and during work?" Lash looked at the two beside her.

"How are we? Sweetie its our assignment not yours," Rika laughed silently and her friends blonde moment.

"Oh yeah. SHUT UP," She blushed feeling stupid.

"Well do you wanna know how your going to do it?" A voice came from behind the couch.

"Hiei!" Rika jumped up and gave Hiei a hug.

"Hiei!" Lash screamed following suit.

"Hiei!" Yaniki yelled running out of the bathroom and down the hall. She was covered in bubbles and was soaking wet, she sped towards Hiei at lightening fast speeds and giving him a hug. After she had gotten him wet and bubbley she ran back to the bathroom.

"Is she taking a bubble bath with clothes on?" Hiei looked at his wet clothes.

"No she is giving someone a bath and I think she might of hopped in it," Kurama walked and gave his friend a nice firm hand shake.

"Did you get a puppy?" Hiei cocked an eyebrown at the three.

"No she is giving some guy a bath," Lash spit out.

"She is giving Mace a bath?" Hiei looked at Rika with a crazy eye.

"I wasn't going to do it?" Rika gave Hiei and very odd but interesting smile.

"Anyways, I have been assigned to watch Mace while he is out of the house. Of course he won't know I'm there."

"Of course," Rika nodded as the heard a big splash from the bathroom.

NOW IS WHEN I SUM IT UP!

So Mace agree's to live there and work there and try to get better as long as he gets to have Yaniki to give him baths every once and a while. He does pretty good, though of course like most addicts he slips every once and a while. He then got more stricter watching until one day...

"Hey man I haven't seen you in forever," one of Mace's buddies showed up at his work.

"Yeah I've been trying to get back on my feet, got a girlfriend ya know," Mace smiled thinking of Yaniki.

In the distance Hiei watched knowing it would end up with another slip up.

"Yeah girlfriends change ya," his friend smiled. "Well man wanna buy some? I got a really good deal on this stuff." His old pal took a little glass bottle out of his pocket. "Liquid E...," his friend hissed taunting Mace.

"F-, Off man. I don't want that crap," Mace pushed his friend out of his work place and went back to doing what he had been doing before.

...And from that day forward Mace never had the urge to do drugs again, though a treat to the bar with his sweetie was sometimes allowed. And that is the story of my new pal MACE!
