A pet for Emi

Ayane sat at the table drinking her morning coffee. It used to be tea but when Emi showed up she needed something more stronger. And the liquor store near by banned her for life, so she had to stick with coffee.

"Ayane-san!" the old woman groaned at the sound of her name, "where are you?"

"In the kitchen," she took another sip of her coffee, "sadly."

"Ayane-san I have a question." Emi came down, still in her penguin covered pajamas.

"what is it?"

"can I have a pet?"

"What!? Why?"

"because I want something to love and to hold!"

"so you basically are lonely, huh?"

"How could you be lonely when your big brother's here!" Nick came in from the slidding door covered in dirt.

"so you dug yourself out already," Ayane took another sip of coffee, "your girlfriend dug it pretty deep."

"That's what you get for trying to sneak in my room to sleep with Suki." Emi wagged her finger.

"Can't a guy snuggle with his girlfriend!"

"Not when he left her at the train station to fight off all the perverted guys in town by herself." Suki came into the kitchen looking groggy. She was wearing a thin red nightgown that went pass her knees.

"You look so lovely my beloved Suki!" Nick basically slides across the kitchen floor to greet his girlfriend to only receive a karate chop on the head.

"You're still on probation." Suki then walked to the coffee machine got herself a cup. "Emi please continue what you were saying before Nick changed the subject."

"I was saying I want a pet!"

"I don't know Emi," Nick said rubbing his head, "remember your goldfish."

"It's not my fault Lena was hypnotized into thinking she was a cat and tried to eat it."

"You were the one that hypnotized her!"

"what's this about a pet?" Katsuro came in to see there was two new people, "who are they!?"

"Katsuro it's to early for you to start talking," Ayane rubbed her temples.

"This is my brother, Nick and his girlfriend Suki!" Emi said smiling.

"What are they doing here!?"

"what's it to you?" Nick said glaring.

"I LIVE here!!!" Katsuro snarled.

Nick turned to Ayane, "I don't like that my sister is sleeping in a house with a guy present. Especially a low life like him."

"Who are you calling a low life!!!" Katsuro grabbed the collar of Nick's shirt.

"You, you useless punk." Nick's eyes glared.

On the sidelines.

"Oh, that's why I'm with him again." Suki mumbled, "that stare always gave me Goosebumps."

"why is subject of 'getting a pet' keep getting ignored?" Emi said sadly.

"Both of you stop talking." Ayane slammed her coffee cup onto the table, "Nick, he is my driver and Emi's bab- body guard. And Katsuro, I'd be careful with your temper. Nick is a demon and can easily kill you."

The two guys backed off from each other, but still glared at one another.

Emi raised her hand, "Can we go back to the subject of me getting a pet?"

"No way!" Katsuro turned his case on Emi, "I'm not cleaning up any pet of yours!"

"Well, I think she should have a pet." Katsuro brought his attention back on Nick.

"You are now changing your opinion?" Suki raised an eyebrow.

"I think you all should get out of the kitchen and leave me in peace." Ayane glared at the group. but her threat was heard on deaf ears.

"You're just saying that to piss me off, you son of a-!!!"

"How dare you speak such horrid language in front of my baby sister!"

"She's sixteen." Suki mumbled.

"I'll say what ever I want!"

"Can you guys stop," Emi said smiling, "so we can go back to the pet thing."

"I should just stuff your mouth with cotton balls and sew your mouth shut!" Nick's eyes glowed.

"I love it when he talks like that." Suki blushed a little.

"I hate you all." Ayane head rested on the cold metal table.

"Um, can I say something-" Emi was cut off.

"I would like to see it demon boy!"

"Guys!-"

"bring it on Ugly!"

"I want to say some-"

"you're so dead now-"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!"

Everyone turned to look at Emi with wide eyes (even Suki and the tired Ayane). Emi's eyes look cat like and seemed to glow. The atmosphere changed dramatically, making the whole room feel ten degrees colder.

"I JUST WANT A PET!!! THAT'S ALL!!!!!!!!" a dark purple aura could be seen radiating off of her. "SOMETHING TO LOVE AND HOLD!!!! BUT NO, YOU HAD TO START A STUIPID ARGUMENT!!!! GETTING MT PLAN TO HAVE ONE BEING DISMISSED!!!!"

Nick was about to say something but was cut off by Emi.

"YOU!!!" she pointed to Nick, "I'M SIXTEEN YEARS OLD, I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!!!!! SO STOP CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR WHOLE 'BIG BROTHER COMPLEX'!!!!"

Her finger than went to Katsuro.

"AND YOU!!!" Katsuro shivered as his mind wished he could just roll into a ball, "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE THE KING OF THE FUCKING HOUSE!? SHUT YOUR DIRTY MOUTH FOR A MOMENT BEFORE SPURTING OUT SWEARS AND GETTING YOUR ASS INTO DEEPER TROUBLE!!!!!"

Suki was able to glide to the kitchen doorway, unnoticed. She took note that Emi was a force NOT to be recon with.

"ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU GUYS TO LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!!! THAT'S ALL!!!!" Emi stomped her foot causing a small tremor around the house. "TO EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD HAVE A PET!!! I WAS GOING TO BE ALL NICE AND POLITE ABOUT IT, BUT YOU TWO HAD TO RUIN IT!!!!!"

More stomping came, causing the whole house to shake.

"WHY DO I ALWAYS GET CUT OFF WHEN I TRY TO BE SERIOUS AND NICE.!!! YOU'RE THE REASON I HAVE TO RESULT TO YELLING!!!!!!" the tremors were getting worse and worse, "WHY WON'T PEOPLE JUST LISTEN TO ME WHEN I ASK NICELY? ALL I WANT IS AN ANIMAL TO TAKE CARE OF!!!! ALL I WANT IS-"

"alright."

The tremors stopped. The dark aura and Emi's scary face was till there, though. "are you saying…"

"Yes, you can have a pet." Ayane shaky hand tried to grasp her coffee better to take another sip.

In a split second the dark aura was gone and Emi had her cheerful face again.

"Thank you!" Emi smiled grew, "I can go to the pet shop today and bring it home! I promise I'll take care of it and love it-"

" But only on a few conditions."

"Ivory!" a female demon came running toward to her in the cafeteria of the base. "there you are."

"what do you want?" Ivory said tired.

"I need information on that girl."

"and why is that?" Ivory swirled the spoon around in her tea.

"my group and I have been assigned to capture her."

Ivory tried to stiffen a laugh, "good luck with that."

"what does that mean?" The female demon narrowed her eyes.

"oh nothing," Ivory sipped her tea slowly, "It just seems the boss is underestimating the girl a bit."

"are you saying my group is not capable to capture this human?" The demon snarled.

"precisely." Ivory smiled.

" I think it is you who is underestimating." she grabbed a butter knife from the table and threw it at the wall, almost hitting another demon. Ivory sat there, unimpressed. "my team was able to go undercover and get information from that baby."

"and you were found out before you could get the crucial information and were chased out of there." Ivory smirked.

The female demon's fangs started to show.

"just a small set back."

"not in the boss's eyes."

"What about you Ivory," The female demon started to circle around the green haired demon. "you couldn't even defeat that young girl."

"that's because I underestimated her," Ivory got up from her seat, "but not next time."

"ha! Like the boss will give you a next time!"

"We'll see about that, Sen." Ivory headed out of the cafeteria, "we'll see."

"YAY!!!" Emi started to skip, "I'm going to get a pet!!!"

"have you decided what you're going to get?" Suki asked.

"No," Emi sighed, "it's kind of hard to when I have such a limit on choices."

"yeah."

The two girls were heading to the town's pet shop. Katsuro and Nick were not allowed to come along because their involvement of making Emi almost destroy the house. Katsuro was forced to fix anything that broke from the tremors and Nick was kept locked in the guest bed room and his probation was extended.

"Emi!" The purple eyed girl turned around to see the gang coming towards them.

"Kurama!" Emi came running up and hugged him, "what are you guys going here?"

"Aren't you a big ball of energy." Kurama smiled, " what's the reason for the good mood?"

"she's always in a good mood." Kuwabara commented.

"That's not true." Suki said in a mumbling way, "the house is proof of that."

"What do you mean abo-"

"I'm going to get a pet!" Emi said cheerfully.

"are you sure that is a good ide-" Yusuke stopped when he noticed Suki shaking her head to tell him to stop.

"what were you going to say Yusuke?"

"um," Suki shook her head more, "nothing?"

"oh, ok!" Emi said smiling.

"it's better not to say what you were going to say Yusuke," Suki whispered, " Let's just say the two people who said that this morning, almost died today."

"So what kind of pet are you going to get?" kurama asked.

"Well.. Wait a minute you haven't answered why you guys are all here!"

"Oh right sorry." Kurama rubbed the back of his head, "we just came back from seeing Yukina and Genkai."

"oh I see. Well I'm not sure what pet I'm going to have. I know what I CAN'T have, though."

"what pets can't you have?"

"well," Emi took a big breath, "Nick said not a dog because it would be too big of a responsibility, no cats because Katsuro is allergic to them (kind of ironic), and Rita said no Rodents or cold blooded creatures."

"is it me or is almost every pet has been crossed out." Yusuke stated.

"Lets see what the pet shop has to offer." Suki suggested before Yusuke brought Emi's spirits down….. And maybe cause her to destroy the whole town.

The gang entered the huge pet shop. The place was filled with Cats, dogs, fish, birds, lizards, snakes, bunnies,…. You know what, it was filled with a LOT of animals.

"Wow, this place is huge. Don't you think Kuwabara?" silence, "Kuwabara?"

Everyone looked around to see where one of the teammates went to. But he was soon found thirty seconds later at the cat area, petting the kittens.

"You got to be kidding me…."

"just leave him there." Hiei said annoyed, "one less buffoon around."

"Hiei, may I ask why you are still here?" Kurama questioned, "I would have thought you'd sneak away when Emi appeared."

"I was planning to, but hearing that she almost destroyed her house has kept me interested."

"ah I see." Kurama chuckled.

Emi looked around. She sighed as she past the cat areas, knowing she could not have one. Then the dogs. Then the cute little mice with red eyes. She stopped in front of the birds.

"Why don't you get a bird." Kurama came to her side, "it's not a cat, lizard, rodent, or dog."

"yeah, but I can't hug it." Emi pouted.

Kurama couldn't help but smile at her little pout.

"besides I think Ayane would cook it."

"why would you think that?" Yusuke sweet dropped.

"because it would probably make too much noise for her to handle and she always said feather creatures were only created to be eaten."

"Birds are defiantly out of the question."

The gang searched for anything that might be a suitable pet for Emi.

"come on Hiei." Yusuke came over to the demon, "why don't you help out."

"why should I help."

"because the quicker we find one, the quicker we get out." Yusuke then smiled, "also with a pet to hug Emi might stop trying to hug you."

Hiei sighed and got up from his leaning against wall position. He looked around analyzing the animals. He gave Emi's new pet a week of living.

"what about these things?" Hiei pointed to the bunnies.

"that might work." Kurama mumbled, "Emi come over here!"

Emi skipped over and her smiled widden.

"BUNNIES!!!" Emi took one and hugged it.

"are bunnies rodents?" Suki wondered.

"well-"

"hey guys," Kuwabara came over with a few kittens in his arms. "have you found one yet?"

The bunny in Emi's arms looked over her shoulder to catch the eyes of the cats in kuwabara's arms. The kittens meowed with excitement, before jumping out of his arms towards the bunny. The bunny quickly took action and jumped out of Emi's arms and ran.

"Bunny!" Emi chases after the bunny as Kuwabara chases after the cats.

The group watches as in less then a minute animals ran free in the store, destroying everything in their path.

"So you are all band from the pet shop for life, huh?" Ayane took a sip of tea, "I would say that I'm surprised, but I'm not."

"Hey, it wasn't my fault this time!" Emi pouted, "it was carrot top's fault!"

" It wasn't-"

"yes it was." the gang said in unison.

"Now how am I going to get a pet." Emi said sadly.

It was new for the gang to see a frown on the girl's face. Kurama tried to figure out how to fix this problem but nothing was coming up. Yusuke and Kuwabara also tried to figure out something but the only thing that poped in theor minds was some demon monster as a pet, and that was out of the question. Especially if it was going to be put in the hands of Emi. Even Hiei tried figuring out what to do. If the pet could get her to stop her hug attacks it was worth thinking about. His eyes scanned the area of the kitchen. His eyes stopped on a certain object. 'That might work,' thought Hiei, 'hopefully she'll believe it.'

"Why would you want a pet," everyone turned their eyes towards Hiei, "when you already have one."

"what do you mean?" Emi titled her head.

Hiei pointed to the odd rock with the strange designs Emi got from her boss.

"But that's just a ro-OW!" Hiei threw an orange at Kuwabara.

" It seems your boss forgot to tell you that this is no rock. "Hiei tried to hold his smirk, "this is an egg."

"An egg?" Emi looked at the stone that has been placed on the kitchen table.

"Hiei, I doubt she'll believe-"

"I get to be a mommy!" Emi took the 'egg' and hugged it.

"you got to be kidding me…" Yusuke muttered.

"Don't worry," Emi smiled down at the egg, "I'll take care of you, feed you, take you on walks…"

Emi left the room to make a bed for her new 'baby'.

"I can't believe you did that," Ayane stared at the demon, "why didn't I think of that!"

"but what are you going to do when the 'egg' doesn't hatch." Kurama asked his friend.

"tell her that she wasn't able to support it well enough, that it died."

"Hiei."

"Alright alright." Hiei crossed his arms, "when we find a real pet for her, we'll tell her. Happy?"

"I guess that will work." Kurama sighed.

"How well do you think she'll take the news that Hiei lied to her?"

"Well let's see," Ayane thought a moment, "you know about Atlantis right?"

The group nodded.

"Well that's the fate of the town when she finds out."

In America, in a secret base not far from Disney land.

"Uh oh."

"What's wrong sir?" A man in his mid twenties walked towards a big desk, where a figure sat in a large cushion chair.

"I forgot to place the letter for Emi explain about the rock I sent her."

"That's not good."

"looks like we're going to Japan." The figure stood up.

"Alright we're going to-WHAT!?"

"How else are we to explain the situation." The boss took the jacket hanging from the hanger and put it on.

"but Japan is filled with demons!"

"If you never wanted to encountered demons, you picked the wrong occupation." The boss smiled. "hopefully we get there in time."
