Genre: Crossover, YYH/Dragon Knights

Pairings: Slight Kurama/Hiei and Kharl/Garfakcy
Warnings: Slight BL, idiocy, severe TWT (Timeline? What Timeline?), and inside jokes.

A/N: That new warning isn't there for our health. We've begun unintentionally (sort of) filling this thing with inside jokes. If you don't understand something, uh. Sorry. THAT'S HOW WE ROLL. Extra points for spotting the inside jokes? Even more for managing to figure out where they come from. For instance, if you know why Kurama says, "Awesome! It's a party!" then you are SUPER COOL. Yeah.

The tree above Kurama's head gave an affronted creak. In response, Kurama granted its protruding roots a drunken pat from his spot at its base, but didn't allow the release of his tiny captive. He hadn't thought he'd ever have the opportunity to find out how trees felt about having trussed up midgets strung up from their branches – most of those he'd strung from tree branches in the past had been normal-sized – but if this particular specimen were any example, he'd have to go with, 'do not want.'

The redhead gave a moment's pause to contemplate the unusually random nature of his current thought processes, but as those very thought processes were the problem, the pause inevitably led to, 'Oh, that's a pretty flower.' He would have given up his contemplation, if he'd been able to remember what to give up on. As it was, he admired said pretty flower and made sure to harvest a few seeds for later use before glancing upward as a groan alerted him to his captive's painful reacquisition of consciousness. Being knocked out by one's own scream of rage apparently resulted in a painful reawakening.

Kurama made a mental note to keep that in mind the next time he decided to be overly dramatic, but as mental notes were not within his concussion-hindered capacity at the moment, he forgot it immediately after. He would curse himself to hell and back about a year and a half later for the lapse.

Above him, in the tree, Garfakcy wasn't waiting for a year and a half to begin cursing Kurama to hell and back. In fact, the cursing began approximately ten minutes before he was fully awake, and only increased in coherency as well as inventiveness once the human became aware of his undignified and quite dirty state.

Kurama, in his previous mental flights, had managed to tune out the increasingly louder protests from the tree. However, he recalled the presence of his companion when said companion commenced calling him a fairy. Kurama turned around to look up and face him. "Hiei," he growled, "stop calling me fairy."

"Stop calling me Hiei, and get me down from here!" Garfakcy retorted.

"I'll let you down when I know you're better. You're annoying me at the moment."

Garfakcy let loose a stream of invectives that once more centered on Kurama's alleged background as a fairy.

"What's with all this fairy nonsense?" Kurama asked, irritated enough to ignore everything else Garfakcy said. "Why are you suddenly obsessed with them? They don't even exist, anyway. Wait, did someone confuse you with the tooth fairy again? No wonder you went off your rocker. Hiei, you don't have to sneak into children's bedrooms and leave money under their pillows. I promise. It's going to be all right. That whole misunderstanding was your own fault, anyway. You really shouldn't spend the majority of your time skulking around outside people's windows."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Garfakcy shook his head. "Never mind. What do you mean, fairies don't exist? They're everywhere! Growing trees, singing to the water, healing the sick, being really fucking annoying, kind of like someone else I could mention."

This subtle dig was lost on Kurama, who was stuck back on the fairies. "Hiei-"

But Garfakcy wasn't finished. "-stealing my shit-"

"They steal things? What kinds of things?" Kurama was suddenly interested. This sounded familiar. "Valuable things? Magical things?"

"Yes and yes," Garfakcy grumbled. "Important things."

"Where do they keep them?"

"I don't know, some stupid fairy lair. Their pants? Who knows?"

Kurama was intrigued. "There's a lair? Where they keep stolen goods? Where is it?"

"If you let me down," Garfakcy suggested, "I'll show you."

"Awesome! It's a party!" Kurama ordered his plants to release the boy. "Where are we going?" he excitedly asked as the boy dropped down and dusted himself off.

Garfakcy had no idea.

Meanwhile, not far away – but just distant enough to be of no use in stopping the impending disaster – Kuwabara abruptly lifted his head and said, "I have a bad feeling."

Yusuke flicked a cigarette to the ground and scuffed it out with his foot, obviously not showing the amount of distress Kuwabara felt his announcement deserved.

"Well?"

"Unless it's Keiko-related or Kurama and Hiei-related, I really don't care. This is the Makai," Yusuke pointed out. "The land of bad feelings and general heebie-jeebies. Now, if you can use that convenient power of yours to figure out where the hell Kurama and Hiei are and why they're two hours late, that'd be great."

Kuwabara managed to look decidedly put-upon. "It doesn't work like that. ...Stupid."

"It did with Yukina."

"I am not in love with Kurama and Hiei!"

Yusuke held up one finger, to which Kuwabara jumped defensively before realizing that this was a listing moment as opposed to a blowing someone's head off moment. "First of all, that's the best thing you've ever said." He held up another finger. "Second of all, do it anyway so we can get the hell out of here!"

"First of all," Kuwabara mocked, looking disappointed when his finger-raising didn't have the same effect on Yusuke, "no! And second of all--" he paused, realizing that he didn't actually have a second of all, "--uh... shut up!"

A brief scuffle followed, after which both boys returned to their previous positions, only a little worse for wear.

"...So what do you think they're doing?"

"Prob'ly making out."

A series of horrified sounds followed. "Argh... Urameshi!"

On the other continent, a handsome man polished a glass, unaware of the anguish he was causing two of his customers. "And they say these two demons are the best thieves that have ever been seen, better even than Ekidonna!"

Twin growls interrupted him. He glanced up to see a young couple glaring at him. "What did you say...?" inquired the girl in a dangerous voice.

"I... that is, they um. They are... They are a team of th... they're demons?"

"Demons?" A lone, dark haired boy sitting at a far table suddenly perked up. They ignored him.

"The best thieves! Thatz, our honor as thieves is at stake!" The girl pounded her fist on the bar.

"Again!" Thatz replied, pounding his fist in reply. "Rath! Rune! Come on! We've got some demon ass to kick!"

"DEMONDEMONDEMON?" Rath bounced to their side. "LET'S GO."

"Rune's not here," Thatz realized. "Oh, well. Kitchel, you're a girl, you'll do. Let's go!"

THUD.

An oversized mallet had just morphed into their periph and taken Thatz out. Rath and Kitchel didn't notice, hell-bent as they were on eradicating the so-called best thieves in the world.

"I AM NOT A GIRL!" the third dragon knight cried angrily. "FOR THE LAST TIME. AND WE ARE NOT GOING GALLIVANTING OFF TO FIND THESE DEMONS- WE ARE GOING HOME. RIGHT NOW. STOP WASTING TIME."

Rune was yelling at nothing. Kitchel and Rath had grabbed their unconscious friend and departed in search of demon thieves to remove from existence.

Suddenly deprived of people to yell at, Rune briefly stood and stared. Then- "HEY, YOU MORONS, YOU STILL HAVE NADIL'S HEAD!" He was gone after them.

Master finished polishing his glasses and put them away. Funny how this always seemed to happen.

Don't you just love Kurama's extremely convenient concussion? A work of literary genius, that. And by 'work of literary genius,' I mean 'the laziest possible way of getting him to act insane.' I'm still working on a reason why his super awesome demon powerz haven't healed it yet. Maybe the roof tile Garfakcy hit him with was a magical artifact that--

Okay, I'm just going to stop there. Anyway - feedback, gais. We wants it.
