"I can't believe we're getting sucked into this crap again!" Shishi growled.
"Oh come off it Shishi." Suzuka waved. "St.Patrick's day comes but once a year…After all we all put up with your ridicules samurai holidays."
"They are not ridicules!"
"And neither is St. Patrick's Day." The clown smiled adding green dye to the beer.
"You're just looking for an excuse to drink!"
"I don't need an excuse to drink." Suzuka shrugged. "Why you jealous, lightweight?"
"I can hold my liquor blondie!"
"I guess we'll see tonight, blue-bob!"
Touya sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "I'm really having second doubts about letting Jin have this party."
"Speaking of which were is the leprechaun?" Shishi wondered.
"He went with Aki to 'pay tribute to their heritage'" Touya quoted bending his pointer fingers.
"Don't tell me those two went to confession." Suzuka stared. "They could be there until next year..."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Hail Mary full of grace, Hail Mary full of grace, Hail Mary full of grace." Aki chanted rocking back and forth.
"Does that be help'n the pain any, Lass?"
"NO!!!!" Aki yelled clenching her teeth. "I can't believe I let you talk me into this Jin!"
"Now, now Lass. Don't be gett'n all in a tiff. I know the pain can't be that bad-MARY MOTHER OF GOD!!!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Jin dragged me to his confession once." Touya remembered. "I'm not sure what happened in that booth…but I do know that preacher dropped the bible seventeen times."
"That's the Irish." Suzuka nodded. "Though I'm sure if Shishiwaka ever became catholic his confessions would put any holy guy in the hospital."
"I'd be proud to do it…" Shishi grinned, watching Rinku bound down the stairs with a sleeping bag.
"Where's Chu?" The yo-yo child asked.
"Beer run."
"Oh…Well have fun with your party and don't burn the house down!" The brunette grinned making a break for the front door.
"Hold it!" Suzuka reached picking the child up by the back of his shirt. "Rules for sleeping over at Eddy's house are as follows-"
"Awwwwww." Rinku kicked.
"Number one," The clown began. "Listen to his parents. Number two: no demon energy whatsoever. Number three: If his parents bring us up or your living situation you-"
"Stick to the story we went over 5 billion times, and change the subject." Rinku mimicked sticking his tongue out. "I got it okay? Can I go now, Mother?"
Suzuka glared, letting go of Rinku's shirt letting the child drop to the floor. "Get out!"
"I knew that'd do it!" Rinku laughed running out of the house.
The ice master sighed shaking his head. "Kids."
"Is it too late to schedule a vasectomy?" Suzuka asked walking into the kitchen.
"I'd work on finding a woman first, Suzu." Shishi commented, swiftly ducking to avoid the chair that was thrown at his head.
Touya sighed, watching the front door open. "About time."
"Paitence mate!" Chu smirked hauling three, twenty-four packs of Guinness into the living room. "Besides look who I found on the way back from the store."
"Happy St. Patties' Day!" Aki greeted rolling a keg into the house.
"What she be say'n!" Jin replied.
"Where were you two?" Touya blinked, taking Aki's keg and rolling it towards the kitchen.
The girl smiled throwing an arm over Jin's shoulder. "We got inked!"
Touya stared. "Come again?"
"Tattooed Toy, I'm an inked demon now!" Jin smiled showing the ice ninja the Celtic band around his left arm. "Nice, eh? It was two for one St. Pat's special so me and Ak, went for it!"
"Nice work mate." Chu admired. "Can we take a peek at yours Sheila, or is it in a place unmentionable?"
The girl rolled her eyes, "You wish perv." Pulling up her t-shirt around the small of her back revealed a peace sign filled in with the colours of Ireland's flag.
"You do realize those things are permanent." Suzuka stared. "As in forever…"
"I be go'n a thousand years without one, Suzu." Jin waved. "I don't think a thousand more is gonna be filled with regret."
"If you say so…"
"Besides, lass's be look'n sexy with them bull's eyes on their backs, right Toy?"
"Leave me out of this." The shinobi sighed walking into the kitchen.
"Good idea, Toy! We'll get ready for our big drink'n to do!" The wind master cheered following his friend into the room.
"Rinku leave for his slumber party yet?" Chu asked helping himself to on of the beers.
"Yeah." Suzuka sighed. "We went over all the rules with the little smart ass…"
"Oh the new neighbors, I haven't met them yet." Aki stared.
"Consider yourself lucky." Shishi sighed.
"Well…" Aki paused. "Do you Rinku will be okay staying at a human's house for the night?"
"Eh, don't worry Sheila. I'm sure the little bugger will be just fine."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"…Mrs. Eddy's Mom?"
"Yes, Rinku."
"Thanks for letting me stay over for dinner and the night."
"Oh no problem, dear."
"Um…Speaking of dinner…What is this?" The yo-yo child pointed at the strange stick-like meat trapped between two pieces of bread.
Carol stared eyeing the youth with disbelief. "It's…it's a hotdog Rinku."
"OH! So THAT's what a hotdog looks like!" Rinku stared picking up the food. Most demons were familiar with human food but few had ever tried it. Most meats and vegetables from the Makai were different from the ones in living world, so naturally the idea of Rinku having eaten a hotdog was a ridicules thought. The only foods common to both worlds were rice, pasta, and some spices that had been traded centuries ago.
The housewife blinked at the boy. She knew he was from another country but she thought that by this day and age every young person should know what a hotdog was. "…You've never had a hotdog Rinku?"
"Uh-uh."
"Don't they have those in your country?"
"Uhh…" Rinku stuttered, trying to remember the speech the others had taught him to say in this situation. "Umm…I come from a land much like your own…and though some of these things are strange to me-I'm just as normal as your own son."
"Of course you are!" Carol stared, she hadn't meant to offend the boy! What a poor child Rinku was. Struggling to adjust to his modern culture. Even though he did have five young-adults as role models she doubted they were aware of the confusion tormenting young adolescents today. Oh what was happening to the youth of this world! "You're very important Rinku! No matter were you come from! Feel free to express yourself, you are just the same as Eddy and any other young man your age living in this country!"
"…O-okay." The yo-yo boy blinked confused by Mrs. Carol's outburst. Mimicking Eddy, Rinku picked up the hotdog and took a small bite. Holy Crap! Do humans really eat this garbage, or DID they eat this garbage!
"How is it Rinku?"
"Umm. Good." The child lied, remembering Touya's threat about being polite. "Best damn-er-darn hotdog I ever had…"
"Hey Rinku." Eddy pointed.
"You're suppose to put stuff on it. Try the ketchup!"
Rinku had gotten very well acquainted with ketchup since his arrival in the human world and did not hesitate to glob on as much tomato paste as he could. He didn't stop there either. Rinku began dumping at least a third of every bottles content's on the hotdog. After pouring ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions on the meat Rinku discovered the taste was hidden and was able to digest his dinner.
"Don't worry, Rinku." Mrs. Carol smiled. "There is plenty more for seconds!"
"Uh…seconds?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Rinku was playing Eddy in their fourth round of Dance Dance Revolution when his stomach started bothering him. Pausing the game Rinku stepped off the mat and held his stomach. Oh man. I shouldn't have been so nice and ate that third hotdog…I'm gonna lose it!
"What's wrong Rinku?" Eddy asked walking up to his friend. "You look kinda pale."
"I-don't-feel-so-good!" Rinku managed to get out before making a run towards the bathroom. Unfortunately the yo-yo child only made it half way there before falling to his knees and puking onto the house's expensive Persian rug. "Ah-that feels better…oops."
"Hey MOM Rinku puked all over the RUUUUG!!!" Eddy yelled up stairs coming to Rinku's aid. "Cool, man you looked like that dude in Alien14 when the baby alien got inside of the dude and ate all his insides!"
The brunette gagged covering his mouth and carrying himself into the bathroom to erupt again.
"Oh my," Carol shook her head at Rinku when he came out.
"I'm sorry. Mrs. Carol. I'll clean it up."
"Don't be silly, Rinku. You're much too sick…I guess I am going to have to call one of your guardians to come pick you up."
"That's not necessary!"
"No offense Rinku, I know you and Eddy were looking forward to this sleepover, but if you have a bug sweetie it's best not to stay here with a chance you could pass it on to Eddy…Although I'm pretty sure that new food just didn't agree with your system…Don't worry though you'll get use to it soon and be ready to eat as many hotdogs as you can."
The yo-yo child blinked, before running to the bathroom to puke again.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Sooo…You're a border at Aki's?" Yusuke gulped at the cat demon girl who was heavily drunk and two inches away from being on top of the spirit detective.
"Uh-huh, and you're the heir of Raizen…I watched your fight at the tournament…You're really purrrr strong."
"Uh…" Yusuke stuttered trying to keep his eyes of the cat demon's large chest. "Thanks…My-uh-my girlfriend thinks so too…Though she's pretty strong herself! I mean REALLY strong…and uh really jealous! Did I mention we're getting married?"
"Oh." The cat girl pouted before smiling. "So…we'll keep this a secret then wont we?" She leaned puckering up to kiss the spirit detective.
RIIIIIIIIING
Oh thank gods! Yusuke prayed. "Um…I better get that!" He excused himself to answer the phone that was ringing in the kitchen next to him. "Hello!" He spoke up, plugging a finger in one ear to drown out the music and drunken stupor that had fallen over the house.
"Hello this is Carol, your neighbor!"
"Oh hang on I'll get one of the-""I just wanted to let you know that little Rinku isn't feeling to well and might have a stomach bug."
"Um, If you'll hang on a second I'll go and get-""Oh no, that's not necessary! I'll walk him over myself! I'll see you boys in five minutes!"
Yusuke blinked as the phone echoed a dial tone. "Ooooookay. I'll tell them." The spirit detective shrugged going in search of a demon in the house that actually LIVED there. Squeezing his way through all of the bodies, wasn't an easy task. The house was holding well over a hundred demons, most Yusuke had never met and didn't want to think about how Jin knew them. Two minutes into his search Yusuke found the wind master. "Oh were the hell is my camera!"
Jin was standing, or rather dancing on the back of the couch wearing a lampshade on his head. The shinobi was obviously as he once put it 'shit faced' He also appeared to be singing a, very bad and out of tune, number from Flogging Molly. "We're stubborn ass mules with out blood on fire when we ain't at Sunday mass, we'll look any man right in the face and say kiss my Irish ass! YEAH BETTER KISS MY IRISH ASS!!!" Jin finished before falling backwards and through the wooden coffee table.
"…Can't end a good party without someone on the floor." Yusuke stared before going to check on his drunken friend. Everyone was so fixated on Jin's dance number that no one even noticed the knocking at the front door.
Yea! Another chapter. It would have been up earlier but I hadn't finished checking it when a friend stopped by and whisked me away to Wal-mart. So sorry, it was a little late to make St. Patrick's Day, but the true Irish would celebrate the whole month anyway. So my grandfather is doing fine. Thank you to all those who were concerned and I'm back in town. Thank you so much for the reviews the helped me a lot! Keep them coming and I'll get to work on the next chapter if you guys still want me to continue. Oh by the way I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, Flogging Molly, or St. Patrick's Day…if anyone does. Keep reviewing and thanks again!
Xiassen: Lol yes, Touya as a Viking. And if Jin were a eunuch he probably wouldn't shut up, but just think how funny his squeaky voice would sound with a Gaelic accent…
Ryoukko-kai: Lol! Canadian candy? That's a new one. I love your comments and the way you think. /pictures Touya with Viking beard/ Lol. And yes I agree that Touya, and Suzuka to a lesser degree are the more subtle of the group.
Call me Blue: Very true about the fair skin and blue eyes, that's how I came up with the Scandinavian influence. Yes the image of a Viking Touya on a boat will haunt my dreams…if he doesn't kill me in my sleep first. Thank you for your concern and my grandfather is doing just fine.
Mekia: Here is your update! I tried to make them act a little more 'in character' for this story. Like I said it's not easy to do in humor…but with these guys it just naturally comes out for some reason. I guess that's why I love writing them so much. Go figure. Thanks!
Yellom21: I'm glad you're amused. Here is an update, and I hope to hear more from you.
