Dinnertime

Kohari: Once again, I'm going ahead without my partner.

Note: Due to the fact that it's against the Fanfiction . net rules to answer reviews...we will no longer answer reviews. And so we didn't get in trouble, we went back and edited those out. Sorry for any inconvenience that it MAY have created, which I don't think it did. And we do credit BlueWater26 with many of the ideas included in this fanfic. Thank you once again, BlueWater26! Now, onto the main attraction: the story.

"Kit! Kai! Daphne! It's time to fix dinner!" Yukina called down the super-long hallway. After a moment of hearing nothing, she returned to her post at the stove. "I wonder where they are. They were here just a moment ago..."

"Dimwits probably ran off to cause more mischief," Genkai muttered, disappointed in her new pupils. They had started off so well, too.

"I'm not a dimwit!" protested Kit from the pantry. She had stayed because she loved cooking. Shamefully, she wasn't the one that needed lessons.

Sure enough, Daphne had hidden behind a statue of Buddha on the other side of the temple with an overly-sized bag of flour. Kai was on the other side of the hall, crouching in the shadows of a water nymph's statue, getting the digital camera ready for a picture.They were awaiting Kuwabara, their favorite victim, who still hadn't forgiven them for the "blind date" episode. To be honest, he was a little afraid of them.

Pretty soon, they heard footsteps down the hall. Peeking out to see who it was, Daphne tossed a handful of the white substance (flour, not drugs!) into their face when they came within attacking distance, and Kit snapped the shot immediately afterward. Before he could recover, the two girls had taken off, camera, picture, and flour in tow.

"Kuwabara would've been perfect!" Daphne giggled as she filled up a water balloon outside the temple. The flour was beside her. She filled up each balloon and filled it with flour, handing them off to Kai to place in the quickly filling up metal pan they had snagged.

"But Yusuke works just as well!" Kai added. The two had uploaded the picture onto the computer and sent it to Koenma, saying that there was a monster in the temple and that they needed help right away. Yusuke DID look somewhat like a zombie in the photo.

They turned around to see a certain apparition, arms folded across his chest, glaring at them as they continued what they were doing. "Just what is the meaning of this, onnas?" He showed them picture that had been sent to him on the communicator. The girls couldn't resist bursting into laughter. Keep in mind that now, the water balloons completely filled the pan.

"Just being ourselves," Kai told him as she caught another balloon that had been thrown to her by Daphne to put in the pan. "Here, hold this for me." She tossed it in a 'think fast!' manner at him. Of course, he wasn't taken by surprise. But when it handed in his ready hands, it exploded in his face.

Kai and Daphne looked at him, at each other, then laughed. Hiei angrily wiped a wet layer of flour off of his face, unaware of the whiteness that now completely coated his hair. He growled, then picked both of them up by the scruffs of their necks, ceasing their 'giggle-fit'. They gasped in shock.

"That's it," he said, his voice suddenly intimidating to them. He carried them inside that way, struggling desperately to escape from his deathly strong grip.

It would be too much to ask for any one of the three girls to go one day without a prank. It had taken a while, but Kit had finally gained the trust of Genkai to be without supervision. She rapidly went about her business of setting the table, making changes as she saw fit...Just why would anyone think that Kit could really go back to being a "good little girl"?
Everyone was seated at the table. Yes, even Kai, Daphne, and Hiei were present (Where did you think he had taken them?). Amazingly, they had all learned to sit at the table. Meaning Yusuke and Kuwabara weren't acting like pigs. Though they ended up with more than a few bruises when they mentioned Hiei's hair...

Yusuke wasted no time in grabbing the salt and pepper shakers. As he began to put dashes of the stuff on his meal, the topsfell onto the plate, smothering everything. "Aw, man!" he complained. In his anger, he pounded his fists on the wood, shooting the contents of his plate towards the ceiling.

"Way to go, Yusuke," Daphne spat, every word dripping with sarcasm. "Now everyone's food's ruined."

"I can fix this!" Yusuke promised.

"See? What'd I tell ya!" he told them as everything was back to semi-normal.

"Breakfast for supper. Woohoo," Kai sarcastically celebrated. They all had bowls in front of them filled with their respective favorite cereals.

"Hey, it's food."

Kurama, thinking even the girls would not repeat themselves to the point of unscrewing the sugar shaker, tried to add some to his breakfast, which happened to be the same as Yusuke's. The keyword in that last sentence was 'tried'. 'Some' turned into 'a lot'. He sighed and shook his head. Those girls were getting to be quite a problem.

"It's okay, Kurama, buddy!" Yusuke told him. "I like mine loaded with sugar!" He swapped bowls with Kurama before anyone knew what had happened. He didn't see Kit's knowing smirk.

His face soured as he spooned a rather large serving in his mouth. "Ick! Gross! Salt!"

Kit, being in the middle of her little group, high-fived both her buddies. But the pleased looks on their faces soon turned to fear when the boys stood up. Yusuke ground one fist into his other palm. Hiei stood on the table, sword positioned to kill. Kurama's eyes were flashing as he, too, rose. Kuwabara's eyes wandered from one to another his partners, wondering what was about to happen.

"You girls have been nothing but trouble since you got here!" Hiei snarled.

"It's payback time!" Yusuke sang, repeating his gesture from earlier.

"Uh-oh..." the girls chorused, then took off once again to the haven of the woods.

Once the room was cleared (Yukina had gone to make sure no one got hurt), Genkai returned to eating.

Kohari: Hope y'all liked that one. Again, I didn't proof-read. I'll try to go back and do that later. Anyways, Tootalukers 'til next time!
