Chapter 4

"Thank goodness we're almost done, Telekat, and so far no problems. Wait! What is that over there? It smells like demons. Do you think I should transform now or wait to see what's going on?"

"I don't know. Let's try to get a better view before we do anything rash," said T.K.

"Agreed." They went in for a closer look. When they got there, there was a weird kid in a green jump suit and a tall, ugly guy in a blue jump suit. The demons were on the ground and cowering from the two kids.

"Where are Kurama and Hiei?"

The demons were begging, "Please, please, we don't know! Honestly, we don't know!"

"Why should we trust you, demon scum!?" the ugly one in blue yelled.

"Why would we lie to the great Urameshi? He could kill us in one blow!"

"Well that is right, I am pretty great!" said the one in green.

"Urameshi, don't lose focus. We still have to find Kurama and Hiei," said the ugly one again.

"Oh, yeah, right. Back to business. This is your last chance uglies, where are Hiei and Kurama!" At that moment something jumped out from the shadows and attacked the two guys.

"Should we get in there?" whispered T.S.

"Not yet, Transpella. Let's watch and see what happens." T.K. whispered back. T.S. nodded in agreement.

The fight didn't last long. The demon that had jumped out was no match for the two boys. The rest of the demons tried to run, but their escape was short lived. The big ugly one used a 'Spirit Sword' and the one in green, Urameshi, used a 'Shot Gun'. In a matter of seconds all the demons were dead. "Well that was a bust. We're never going to find Kurama and Hiei at this rate." said the one called Urameshi.

"Huh?" the big ugly one turned stared at the spot where T.S. and T.K. were crouching. T.S. grabbed T.K.'s hand and dragged her away before he saw them. T.K. bumped into a trashcan, scaring a stray cat. It ran past the two boys to find another hiding place.

"Hey what's a matter Kuwabara, looking to get a new cat?"

"I thought I sensed something."

"Well there's nothing there now so come on." He dragged Kuwabara off in another direction.

"That was close. How did he know we were there?"

"He must have a high spirit awareness and felt our presence," replied T.S.

"Yeah. We should make it a point to watch those two and learn as much as we can about them."

"I agree, but for now, it's time to get home."

'Do you hear that?' asked Kurama.

'They're home.' The front door opened and T.S. and T.K. walked in. Or at least they started to. In mid step they froze. Slowly their eyes traveled around the room.

"Was there an earthquake while we were gone?"

"Either that or a tornado. Okay," said T.S., "with one of you did this?"

Kurama looked at Hiei. 'Maybe they'll go easy on you.'

'Hn.'

"T.K., look what your dog did!"

"You don't know for a fact that it was him."

"Well, considering that most of the damage doesn't go past our knees, I'd say it's a pretty good bet."

"Okay, you make a good point. I'll deal with Bandit. The cleaning can wait until morning."

"If you say so." T.S. went into her bedroom. "Come on Rocky."

'Be nice Hiei. The last thing you need is more trouble.' Kurama followed T.S. into her room.

T.K. sighed. "Bandit, what am I going to do with you?" She looked at Hiei and he just stared back. "No comment? Yeah, I thought so. Come here." She picked up Hiei and he didn't struggle. "No struggle? This is new. Okay, well I told T.S. I'd deal with you so this is how I'm going to deal with you," she held him close and gave him a kiss. "Don't do it again." She carried him to her room, which was untouched, and put him on the bed. "I'm going to take a shower then I'll be back. You can stay out of trouble that long right?" She turned and left the room.

That's it? Is she kidding? I trash her house and she gives me a kiss?

'I'm guessing that she wasn't angry with you?'

'How could you tell? Where's T.S.?'

'She went to take a shower.'

'Her too? How many showers do they have?' From the hallway they heard T.S. shout.

"T.K. get out, I need a shower!" This statement was followed by a banging on the bathroom door.

'Just one apparently.'

"I was in here first! Wait your turn!" They heard the shower start and a couple minutes later the bathroom door opened followed by the toilet being flushed.

"AHHHHH! T.S.!" T.S. ran into her room laughing.

'Cruel,' said Kurama.

'Hn.'

Thirty minutes later T.K. came out of the bathroom wearing her pajamas, a black tank top and black pajama pants. "Ok, T.S., now it's your turn!"

"About time!" T.S. went into the bathroom. T.K. came into her room where Kurama and Hiei were.

"Hey, guys!" They heard the shower start again, followed by:

"AHHHHH! T.K., YOU USED UP ALL THE HOT WATER!"

"Ha Ha! I love revenge!"

'They seem to enjoy pulling pranks on each other.'

'Typical teenage girl behavior.' mutter Hiei.

There was a loud knock at the door and Kurama and Hiei followed T.K. to answer it. "Oh, hello Miss. Obayashi," said T.K. in forced politeness when she opened the door.

"Dear, I realize that you and your roommate haven't lived here very long, but," her voice change from sweet and innocent to harsh and angry," the constant yelling that has been coming from your room has been most disrupting and I would suggest that you show some consideration for the other tenants that live here!"

T.K. fought to keep from yelling at the unpleasant old woman and remain polite. "I'm sorry we were disturbing you. We'll be sure to keep from yelling in the future."

"I would hope so. I'd hate to have you two kicked out."

'Bark! Bark!' Hiei began to bark at the old woman.

"So you got dogs. You'd better keep them under control. Bad things happen to bad dogs."

"I can assure you that they're very well behaved." Miss. Obayashi's eyes traveled around the room behind T.K. that was still the disaster it was when they had arrived home.

"I seriously doubt that. Will you shut that dog up!" Hiei was still barking at her. Miss. Obayashi gave T.K. a menacing look before storming off to her apartment.

T.K. closed the door then picked up Hiei, who had finally stopped barking. "Good, boy! Barking at the mean old lady!"

'Why did you bark at her?' inquired Kurama.

'I'm not sure. I just didn't like the way she was talking to T.K. More dog instincts?'

'Maybe. Maybe something more.'

'You better not be insinuating something Kurama.'

'It wouldn't hurt you to admit you like her.'

'I do not like her!'

"Who was that?" T.S. came out of the bathroom wearing her nightshirt.

"That was Miss. 'I'm wrinkled like a prune.' She came to yell at us for yelling."

"Is that all? Okay, come on Rocky. Time for bed." Kurama followed T.S. back to her room.

T.K. turned off all the lights then went into her room. She got into bed and put Hiei down next to her. "Good night, Bandit."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I can't believe that T.S. is still in bed," T.K. complained looking at the clock with read ten o'clock. "Ooh, I know! Come on you two, we're going to piss her off because I'm bored." T.K. went into the kitchen and filled a big bowl with ice cubes. "Hee Hee. She's going to kill me when she gets up!"

'What is she doing?' mused Hiei.

'I'm not sure, but I don't think T.S. is going to like it.'

T.K. went into T.S.' bedroom and sat on her desk. Hiei and Kurama waited in the doorway. One by one, T.K. began to throw the ice cubes at T.S. T.S. moved in her sleep, and then woke up. She looked around her at the ice cubes then at T.K.

"What are you doing?"

"Amusing myself. Go back to sleep, I was having fun."

"Why you," T.S. grabbed the ice cubes around her and started throwing them at T.K., who ran into the kitchen, nearly tripping over Hiei and Kurama. T.S. was right behind her, but when T.K. got to the kitchen she grabbed the water squirty thing next to the faucet and soaked T.S.

"HAHAHA!! Got ya! Hey what are you doing?" T.S. was at the fridge and she had grabbed the mustard. "You wouldn't."

T.S. squirted the mustard, but it stopped in mid air. "Ha! It didn't work!" But while T.K. was distracted T.S. threw an egg at her. "Ow!"

Soon the kitchen was full of flying food, water and eventually, kitchen utensils.

'This is quite entertaining.'

'Hn.'

When they had finished throwing things, T.K. and T.S. looked at their handy work. "And here I'd just finished cleaning the kitchen." said T.K.

"Yeah. Well, have fun!"

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Out."

"Oh no, you're not!"

"Oh, yes I am," but at that moment as T.S. had begun to walk out of the kitchen she slipped in ketchup and fell. "Ow!"

Kurama stood up as she fell. 'I hope she's not hurt!'

"Are you ok?" T.K. walked to her, but on the way she slipped in applesauce and fell, too. "Ow." They looked at each other and started laughing hysterically.

'Does that answer your question?'

'Yes, I guess she's fine,' said Kurama with a sweat drop.
