All the world's a fanfic, and all the humans and demons merely characters.

A/N: This is a really short thing Ryouko and I were working on that we thought would be funny, but it wasn't translating as well into a fic as we hoped, so we got rid of it.

Fire Barrel

Kurama: This is a fire barrel. This is Karasu.

Karasu: What did I do?

Kurama: (Not listening) This is Karasu in the fire barrel.

Karasu: I knew he loved me!

Kurama: Hiei?

Hiei: This is a dark dragon flame. (Lets flame go into barrel)

BOOM! (Explosion of flame)

Karasu: (Jumps out) HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT!


Koenma: This is a fire barrel. This is my assistant, the blue ogre.

George: Hello :-) (smiles and waves)

Koenma: OGRE! STOP MUGGING FOR THE CAMERA!

George: Sorry Koenma sir! (bows repeatedly)

Koenma: He is holding all of my papers that I am forever stamping, as well as the stamps that I stamp the papers with.

George: Yes sir, I have them right here sir! Are you finally going to catch up on all your paperwork sir?

Koenma: JUST SHUT UP AND WAIT FOR MY INSTRUCTIONS, YOU IDIOT!

George: Sorry Koenma sir! (bows repeatedly)

Koenma: Anyways… Ogre, put them in this barrel.

George: Okey-dokey! Am I going to carry the papers around in here? That will be much easier than trying to carry them in my arms. I drop them all the time!

Koenma: Right… Shizuru, may I borrow a lighter?

Shizuru: Sure (hands Koenma her lighter)

George: What do you plan to do with that lighter Koenma sir?

Koenma: Oh, nothing really… (turns on lighter and "accidentally" stumbles and trips and catches the papers in the barrel on fire) Oooppss… Hehe…

George: (majorly freaking out) Koenma sir! Your papers! And your stamps!

Koenma: Yes, burn you wretched things, burn!

George: Oh this is terrible! This is awful! This is… Koenma sir, your father is going to be furious!

Koenma: (goes white) My father? Augh you're right! Quick, rescue the papers! Rescue them, I say! My father is going to kill me!

(George empties the fire barrel and the two of them try to put out the fire)


Shizuru: This is my stupid little brother.

Kuwabara: What's up?

Shizuru: This is a fire barrel. This is my brother in a fire barrel. This (one last puff) is my cigarette. (Drops cigarette into fire barrel)

Kuwabara: (Sniffs eagerly) Mmm… what's cooking? It's gonna burn soon. AAAHHH! IT'S ME!


Keiko: This is a fire barrel.

Genkai: This is an effigy of my useless dimwit student, who is apparently an equally useless boyfriend to this sweet young lady.

Yusuke: HEY!

Genkai: SHUT UP, DIMWIT!

Yusuke: MAKE ME, GRANDMA!

Keiko: YUSUKE, JUST SHUT UP AND LET US FILM THIS ALREADY!

Yusuke: Alright, alright, jeeze…

Genkai: That was impressive. Anyways, this is an effigy of my dimwit student and her dimwit boyfriend in a fire barrel.

Yusuke: HEY YOU BETTER NOT DO WHAT I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO WITH THAT!

Genkai: SHUT UP YOU USELESS DIMWITTED FOOL!

Keiko: Anyways… This is a lighted match. (drops match into fire barrel and watches it burn the Yusuke effigy)

Yusuke: Jeeze Keiko, that's a hell of a way to break up with a guy…

Keiko: Oh Yusuke, I don't want to break up with you.

(They hug and kiss)

Keiko: This is just a representation of all the times you have royally pissed me off.

Yusuke: Yikes…

Keiko: Yeah, so watch yourself, you hear me?

Yusuke: Yes ma'am!

Genkai: You're lucky she likes you so much, I was in favor of putting you in the fire barrel instead of that silly effigy.

Yusuke: Bite me, Grandma!


Yukina: I don't understand what the purpose of this fire barrel thing is supposed to be.

Botan: Well Yukina dear, you're supposed to put into the fire barrel something, or someone, that annoys you or makes you angry. For example… um… hm… I suppose I would put people that have smart mouths and think they know everything into the fire barrel. Those people just make me… oooh! (gets a huge tic mark and clenches fist)

Yukina: … … …

Botan: But this is very impractical, so we're not doing mine. (cat face) Anyways, what would you like to put in the fire barrel?

Yukina: …It seems so painful to be put in there. Fire is so unpleasant.

Hiei: …

Botan: Well that's sort of the point. You put something in there that you don't like.

Yukina: But… I like almost everything. And even the things I don't like, I still don't want to hurt them.

Shizuru: You're way too sweet and innocent to be around the rest of us… (glares at Kuwabara) You better stay away from her! I don't want my baby brother to be responsible for corrupting this innocent girl! Got it?

Kuwabara: But… sis…

Hiei (muttering): I knew there was a reason I hadn't killed her yet.


Yusuke: (After burning his school uniform and getting slapped for it by Keiko) I don't care! It was still worth it! (sits down next to Hiei) So what are you going to put in the fire barrel?

Hiei: Hn.

Yusuke: Oh come on, I'm going to find out sooner or later, you may as well tell me.

Hiei: Pathetic.

Yusuke: Huh?

Hiei: It's pathetic that you ningens need a fire barrel.

Yusuke: Well sorry for us not having fire powers! (rolls eyes)

Hiei: And it's also pathetic that you want me to put something in the fire barrel. What do I need a fire barrel for? Anytime something makes me mad, all I have to do is use my powers to set it on fire.

Yusuke: But the point is that this is all symbolic and junk.

Hiei: Maybe I should put YOU in the fire barrel if you don't LEAVE ME ALONE! Stupid detective, stupid fire barrel, stupid symbolism… (continues muttering to himself)


Kuwabara: This is my mean and nasty and bad-tempered teammate Hiei.

Hiei: …

Kuwabara: This is a fire barrel. This is Hiei in the fire barrel.

Hiei: You have got to be kidding me.

Kuwabara: Just get in the fire barrel, shrimp! You have to do it cuz that's the point of this fire barrel thing!

Hiei: …Whatever… (rolls eyes and gets into the fire barrel)

Kuwabara: This is… hang on… anyone have a match or a lighter or something?

Hiei: Idiot…

(Someone finally gives Kuwabara a pack of matches and he spends ten minutes trying to light one while Hiei stands in the fire barrel looking totally bored)

Kuwabara: Finally! I mean… this is a lighted match! (tosses match into fire barrel)

(Flames appear but Hiei doesn't jump out or even look perturbed at all. He just stands in the fire)

Kuwabara: Hey what the heck? Why isn't the shrimp burning or screaming or hurting or something?

Hiei: (climbs out of the fire barrel completely unharmed) I'm a FIRE DEMON, you retard! You saw me fight Zeru. Fire doesn't hurt me. It hurts you though, correct?

Kuwabara: (runs away screaming) MOMMY!

Hiei: (rolls eyes) Baka…

A/N: See? Short. Probably a little repetitive too. I got tired of it and I ran out of ideas and I didn't like the way it was coming together so I junked it but I couldn't bring myself to delete the scenes I'd already written, so here they are! Hope you liked them!
