Shi: Dun, dun, dun! And here we are! The Slyest Thieves, Chapter 57! Almost to 60 you guys... drop a review, ne? Oh, and we no own Yu Yu Hakusho or Sesshoumaru..!
"I can't believe they are still watching She-Ra," Mizuki seethed angrily from her bed, slowly exercising some of her sore muscles. She sat up and moved around some before testing her body by standing to her feet. She was a little wobbly, but other than that, she wasn't that sore anymore. "Here, let me help you onto the bed," she said to Takara and knelt down. She winced but managed to help the hanyou up on the bed.
"Thanks," Takara mumbled, not able to move her arms or legs too much. "Hey, you seem to be able to move pretty easily. Mind going in there and getting Kurama, Sesshoumaru, and Hiei? They've really tested my patience and pushed me too far past my limits!" She scowled at the door as the TV could still be heard in the room.
"Sure thing, don't worry about that," Mizuki grinned and quietly slipped out of the room and snuck into the living room. When she saw them sitting on the couch and She-Ra still playing, a death glare formed over her face. "Alright, that's enough of that!" Mizuki shouted and ran over to click the TV off and spun on her heel to glare at the ones on the couch.
Shuku gurgled at Mizuki happily, wanting the wolf to hold her, but the rest of the guys watched Mizuki fearfully. "What in the world do you think you're doing?! Sesshoumaru, Hiei, Kurama, you perverts! I can't believe how irresponsible the three of you are!" Her face was turning red in anger, and Jamie slid off the couch and tried to tiptoe out of the room, but Mizuki's voice boomed, scaring him stiff, "Don't go anywhere, Jamie, I want you to see what happens when you do something like these three did!"
"And what can you possibly do? You're still sore from training," Sesshoumaru said matter-of-factly.
"Oh but I'm fine enough to do this," she growled and rushed forward, surprising the three. She grabbed Sesshoumaru's boa and wrapped it around the dog demon, the yoko, and the fire demon, gently taking Shuku from Kurama and setting her on the floor. Then she tied the boa together, the trio struggling to get away. "Jamie, would you be a good boy and open the door?" she asked the young human boy, who nodded and hurried to open the door. "Thanks," she smiled at him then glared at the three demons. She tugged at the end of the boa and spun them around a few times before throwing them as far as she could outside.
Sesshoumaru, Hiei, and Kurama flew through the air screaming, crashing through the branches and trees of the forest until they landed about two miles into the forest. Groaning, they struggled to sit up. "I thought it was safe, Fox," Hiei grumbled, scowling at the dizzy redhead.
"Well, they both seemed too sore to move earlier," Kurama muttered in his defense.
"Enough talking," Sesshoumaru growled, "help me get this untied!" He angrily shifted around, trying to wriggle out of it to no avail.
Meanwhile, Mizuki sighed and turned back around to pick Shuku up and rock the giggling child. "See what happens when you don't listen, Jamie?" she asked the little boy, who nodded frantically.
"Yeah, I got it, Zuki, I got it. I promise I'll be a good boy," he said, eyes averted guiltily to the floor.
"Good," Mizuki said then shifted Shuku over to one arm and bent down to pick Jamie up with her other arm. "Haha, now, let's go see how Takara's doing, alright?" She smiled at Jamie to show she wasn't upset with him, and he immediately perked up and hugged her neck, chattering away.
"All taken care of," Mizuki grinned as she entered her room to see Takara sitting up on the bed.
"Oh really? What did you do? I heard something, but what in the world did you do?" Takara asked with a grin on her face to match the one on the wolf's face.
"I tied Sesshoumaru's boa around him, Kurama, and Hiei and threw them a couple miles into the woods after yelling at them," Mizuki smirked and sat on the edge of the bed, setting Jamie down on the floor and rocking Shuku, who was reaching out to Takara.
"Haha, go Mizuki!" Takara cheered then winced, "ow... okay, no cheering..." Both demonesses looked to one another for a moment then laughed.
"Kara, are you okay?" Jamie asked from beside the bed, looking at Takara with worry.
"Wha? Oh, I'm fine, just a little sore is all," Takara said,waving it off to be nothing.
"Now, now, Shuku," Mizuki murmured to the crying infant, "Takara can't hold you right now.. She needs to rest some more." No matter what she did though, Shuku wouldn't calm down and continued to reach for Takara.
"I can take her," Takara said and held her arms out as a sign for Mizuki to hand Shuku over. At the iffy look on the wolf's face, the hanyou added, "I promise. Just hand her to me and go get her a bottle, would you?"
Mizuki heaved a sigh in defeat and set Shuku in Takara's arms. "Alright, be back in a minute. Come on, Jamie, you can help me," she told the little boy with a smile and pulled him into her arms. With that, the two left the room.
Takara sat there and shushed and rocked Shuku until Mizuki and Jamie returned. "Thanks," Takara muttered and accepted the bottle from her sister. Then, she began to feed the baby.
Just then, there was the sound of the three boys tromping back inside the house, Hiei and Sesshoumaru grumbling under their breath as they went while Kurama just sighed and collapsed onto the sofa. Meanwhile, the fire and dog demons headed for the room where Takara and Mizuki were. "Onna!" Hiei shouted as he banged the door open and stormed inside, followed by a glowering Sesshoumaru, both sporting leaves sticking from their hair and and mud and dirt smudged on their face and clothes. "What did you do that for?" the fire demon seethed angrily.
"For watching She-Ra," Mizuki growled, turning to glare at the two boys.
"And for letting the kids watch it with you," Takara added testily as she rocked Shuku in her still sore arms.
"Big deal, it's just a show," Hiei scowled at the two girls, arms crossed defiantly over his chest.
"Don't you 'big deal' me, Hiei!" Mizuki demanded, matching Hiei's glare. "You should know better than that! All three of you should!"
"Calm down, wench," Sesshoumaru slid into the conversation, glaring at the wolf with his own scowl.
"Calm down?" Mizuki snarled, and Takara chuckled, muttering to Sesshoumaru that he shouldn't have said that when Mizuki was already furious at him. "Calm down!? How dare you tell me to calm down! This is you're own fault, and you two should act like the adults you should be and realize your mistakes!" Mizuki hollered, flailing her arms angrily, her aura immediately flaring to visibly lick at the ceiling.
Hiei and Sesshoumaru eyed Mizuki carefully. They didn't want to admit it, but they were afraid of the wolf. They'd never seen her this mad before.
"What in the world is going on in here?" Aki grumbled as she stomped into the room, irritated at her meditation being interrupted early.
"Hiei and Sesshy are making Zuki mad," Jamie told the dog demoness.
Aki's brow raised in amusement as she smirked and looked at her raging sister then at Hiei and Sesshoumaru. "What did you guys do to make her so mad? I haven't seen her this mad in AGES," she sneered.
"We did nothing," Sesshoumaru said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah right," Takara broke in with a glare at the two boys. "Hiei, Sesshoumaru, and Kurama turned She-Ra on when they realized that me and Mizuki were too sore to get up earlier," she stated moodily, "and they let the kids sit there and watch it! They didn't even care! So, Mizuki went out there and kicked them out into the forest about a mile or two in."
"Oh really?" Aki asked, looking to Mizuki for confirmation, and the wolf nodded. The dog demoness chuckled, "Man, you guys sure know how to tick them off, haha. If I were you, I would run and hide until Mizuki cools down," she advised grinning.
"I will not run from that wench. She is nothing to worry about," Sesshoumaru said airily, and beside him, Hiei nodded.
"Are you sure about that?" Aki asked grinning and winked at Mizuki and Takara without the two guys seeing it.
"Yes," the fire and dog demons answered simultaneously.
"Really now?" Mizuki snarled and bolted forward, claws at the ready.
With identical yelps of surprise, both Hiei and Sesshoumaru bolted from the room, barely ahead of a raging wolf, who chased them outside and around the temple a few times while Takara and Aki laughed at them.
Shi: Alright, probably not the best, but it's all I can come up with right now.. I'm sure Aki and Kit's will be better, lol. xP
