In Which the Conclusion Occurs

L.A.: So now I finish our tale.

Amu: This is ridiculous.

L.A.: Yet so entertaining.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. I only own my crazy characters.

When L.A. came to, she found herself in darkness. It took her a few more moments to remember how she got there.

"Stupid Bartholomus," L.A. muttered as she stood up.

"L.A.?" Amu called out. "Is that you?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot you still exist," L.A. said.

"What kind of greeting was that?" Amu said. She sounded farther away.

"Where are you?" L.A. asked.

"Hold on a sec. I'll be right back."

L.A. could hear the sounds of claws clicking. They faded away for a few seconds before returning.

Amu appeared in the light of a torch.

"Sweet," L.A. said as she took the torch from her. "Good thinking."

Amu grinned evilly. "I made fire. I'm a genius."

"Whatever," L.A. held the torch in front of her. "Let's see if I could find someone."

After thirty minutes of wandering aimlessly, L.A. and Amu still haven't found anyone.

Amu had taken up singing morbid nonsense songs and L.A. was just pissed.

"Once there was a giraffe. He loved to work on arts and crafts," Amu sang. "He made rugs and pillows and amazing marshmallows. As for his name, let's just call him Boris."

L.A. raised an eyebrow.

Amu continued to sing. "Boris likes to make crafts in his room. Because of this, he spelled his own doom. One day he fell out of bed and broke his head.

And, now he looks like a giant horse… The end."

Amu stopped as she realized that L.A. was no longer walking with her. She turned back and saw L.A. standing with her eye twitching.

"How are you my muse again?" L.A. asked.

Amu shrugged. "Blame your messed up mind." Amu stiffened as she sniffed the air. "Oh, I smell people." She bounded off ahead with L.A. quickly following her.

They rounded a corner and came face to face with Hiei and Kuwabara. Kuwabara looked happy to see them. Hiei looked like he was ready to go on a killing spree.

"Good to see your okay," L.A. said.

"You too," Kuwabara said.

"Hn," Hiei crossed his arms.

"We were heading this way," Kuwabara grinned. "Gonna beat Urameshi on this one."

"As long as you get my laptop back, I'm happy." L.A. said.

"Get moving," Hiei said as he passed by them.

"Hey," Kuwabara said as he chased after him. "We were still talking."

"That's it. Hiei's on my black list," Amu said. "The only other person on that list is the Cheshire Cat. Yeah, it's that bad."

"Shh," L.A. whispered. "Don't let him hear you until after I've got my laptop back."

They quickly hurried after the other two.

Bartholomus was bored. It wasn't like he wanted them to succeed. It was just that he wanted someone to play with.

He looked at the laptop that sat to the right of him. The stupid author… apparently her laptop was just as quirky as her. It refused to let him use any of its applications except the sticky notes. He had written a couple rude remarks on her sticky notes but soon grew bored.

"They better get here soon," he muttered. "I still have a few more surprises in store."

L.A. wasn't sure why, but she was getting the feeling that Hiei was staring at her. She was afraid to turn around just in case he was staring. He might take offense and decide to kill her.

"You have a weird expression on your face," Amu said.

"Don't say anything," L.A. whispered. "It's just that I think Hiei's staring at me."

"Oh," Amu turned toward Hiei. "Why are you creeping on L.A.?"

"Amu!" L.A. said. She quickly turned to Hiei. "Don't listen to her. She's crazy."

"Hn," Hiei said as he walked ahead of them.

L.A. glared at Amu.

"What?" Amu asked innocently.

"You remind me of someone," Hiei said causing L.A. and Amu to look at him.

"Maybe Sira?" L.A. asked. "Or Tori?"

Hiei frowned. "Who?"

L.A. and Amu gasped. Hiei chose to ignore them by continuing to walk.

L.A. shook her head. "They forget so easily."

"So why did they not forget about us?" Amu asked.

L.A. shrugged. "I don't know maybe it's suspension of disbelief? The power of fanfiction?"

Amu raises an eyebrow. "You couldn't get more creative?"

"Nope." L.A. said.

As they rounded a corner, they entered a large ornate room. Bartholomus sat in a giant throne-like chair.

"Someone's over compensating for something," Amu muttered causing L.A. and Kuwabara to snicker.

"You think you are so confident, but I still have the upper hand," Bartholomus said as he snapped his fingers.

Two birdcages descended from the ceiling. Inside each was a person. Upon closer inspection, L.A. realized that Kurama and Yusuke were trapped inside.

Kuwabara burst out laughing. "Sucks for you Urameshi. I can't believe you were caught already."

"Shut it!" Yusuke said.

"So what," Amu said as she grinned sinisterly at Bartholomus. "We still have two awesome fighters left."

"I already prepared for that." He snapped his fingers again and cages fell trapping Hiei, Kuwabara, and Amu inside.

"Damn it," Kuwabara said as he swung his spirit sword at the cage. "It doesn't work."

"Don't you think we would have already gotten out if it did," Yusuke said.

Amu glared at Hiei. "You didn't even try, did you?"

"Hn," Hiei said as he crossed his arms.

Bartholomus laughed manically as he patted L.A.'s laptop. "Now you will all suffer my wrath starting with this laptop…" He stopped as he counted the cages. "Wait, who's missing?"

"Me you idiot." L.A. said as she clinched her fist.

"You don't scare me," Bartholomus said as he reached for her laptop.

"Don't you dare touch Macky," L.A. said.

"What are you going to do about it?" Bartholomus asked as he placed a finger on her laptop.

L.A.'s eyes narrowed as she yelled. "I'm gonna go Mother Grizzly Bear on your ass!" L.A. charged Bartholomus. Before she even reached him, he cowered away and screamed like a little girl.

"No, I give! I don't care what my therapist says. I don't want to deal with the mother grizzly bear."

L.A. paused as she raised an eyebrow. "Okay then."

Bartholomus snapped his fingers and the others were released from their cages.

Hiei glared as he stood up and pulled out his sword. "You're dead, gnome."

Bartholomus didn't bother to correct him as he squeaked and quickly ran away.

"Wow," Amu said. "That is probably the most pathetic villain in the history of all stories."

L.A. shrugged as she grabbed laptop. "I don't care. I've got my laptop back."

"Were you really going to beat him up?" Amu asked.

"Hey I may not like violence but mess with people I love, animals, or anything I consider a baby and you better watch out."

A strange white portal appeared behind Amu and L.A.

"Guess that's our cue to leave," L.A. said. "Thanks you guys for all your help."

"No problem," Yusuke said. "Do us a favor?"

"Sure," Amu said.

"Quit getting us involved with your gnome problem," Yusuke said. "It's getting annoying."

Before either L.A. or Amu could respond, the portal sucked them inside. When L.A. opened her eyes, she found herself back in her room with her laptop in her hands and Amu safely tucked away in her mind.

"Glad that was over," L.A. said as she opened her laptop. She frowned. Sticky notes were all over her laptop with rude remarks ranging from "You're stupid" to notes that had to be censored. "Oh, he better be glad he isn't here," L.A. said as she began to delete the sticky notes.

L.A.: The end!

Amu: Wow, just wow.

L.A.: Oh and if you do have a mac, then you know how addicting those sticky notes are. Oh, and I am almost done with the next chapter of Rose Colored Glasses. It will be up soon I promise.

Amu: Anyway, is this the last that we'll see of the Simple Musings series?

L.A.: Hopefully not, but who knows. Those plot bunnies are stubborn. Anywho, you know what to do. READ and REVIEW!
