A Miraculous Bonding Happens Over Soap Operas
Lights aura: Hello!
Amu: And welcome to the next chappie!
Lights aura: Heh, so I been watching a lot of MST3K…
Amu: Which is an acronym for Mystery Science Theater 3000...
Lights aura: Thank you Amu. So anyways, I been watching it a lot and have officially become obsessed with it.
Amu: It is so freaking hilarious! It's almost better than pie.
Lights aura: So, yeah, you'll probably see how this chappie is influenced by it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did then I would be free to watch as much MST3K as I wanted.
Tori sighed as she lazily sketched in her notebook. It had been a week since Sira's near death experience. Although she said she was better, the whole ordeal had left her rather weak. Plus, it hadn't help that the only cure was Makai bat venom.
The sliding of feet against floor alerted Tori that said person had entered the room. "How are you feeling?"
"Blah," Sira said as she collapsed next to her. "Just blah."
Tori smirked. "That was descriptive."
Sira's eyes lit up as she snatched the notebook from Tori. "Nice," she said as she examined the picture Tori had drawn. Flipping a page, she added. "You want to see something cool?" Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed a pen and scribbled something on the notebook. With a cheesy grin, she handed the notebook back to Tori.
Tori raised an eyebrow at the stick hangman. Over to the side, Sira had scrawled something. "This is Bob. He tried to steal my cookie. Ha! Ha! Bob! Ha! Ha!"
"Isn't it great," Sira asked excitedly.
"You're missing facebook aren't you?" Tori asked.
Sira let out a moan. "Yes, bumper stickers were used when I wished to procrastinate. Now, I have nothing." Sira let out a sigh, "I feel so…empty."
"You could always write, you know." Tori reminded her.
Sira shook her head. "It's not that easy. You need inspiration to write." She sighed, "So are Yukina and you still planning on doing some shopping?"
Tori nodded. "That is, if you don't mind being alone for a little bit."
Sira shrugged. "Eh, I'll be fine. I've got ice cream and TV. What more can a girl ask for?"
"Alright," Tori said as she sat aside her notebook and stood up. "Do you want me to get anything for you while I'm out?"
"Chris Evans."
"I meant something realistic."
Sira scrunched her eyebrows as she thought. "You know what? How about you surprise me."
Tori couldn't help but grin at the ice apparitionist. Yukina hadn't had much experience in the human realm so the sight of the giant department stores made her eyes grow huge.
"This place is so amazing," Yukina murmured as Tori began to browse through the stores.
"Yeah," Tori said with a grin, "If you think this is amazing, you should see it on sales day." Her eyes widened as she spotted something. With a squeal, she pounced on said object and held it up for Yukina to see. "I can't believe this is out!"
Yukina frowned. "27 Dresses?"
"Best Movie Ever!" Tori said excitedly, "We're definitely getting this." Humming happily to herself, she walked over to the counter.
Sira let out a sigh. What had she been thinking? That saying she wouldn't get bored actually meant that she wouldn't get bored. Who was she kidding? TV and ice cream can only last one for so long before boredom settles in once again. Letting out a groan, Sira pulled herself up and forced herself to the kitchen.
"I'm sooo bored," she whined. She found herself gazing at the refrigerator once again debating over whether eating more food would quell her boredom. The sound of a window opening brought her out of her thoughts.
Hiei's gaze met hers as he entered the room.
Sira blinked a couple of times before saying, "Yukina is out with Tori right now."
"Hn," Hiei crossed his arms.
Sira shrugged, "You can stay and wait for her if you want."
"And why would I want to do that, human?" Hiei said with a glare.
"Because I am bored out of my mind and willing to bribe you with ice cream," Sira said as she pulled out two pint size ice creams.
His glare lessened slightly as curiosity flashed through his eyes. "You have sweet snow?"
Sira winced but held her tongue. One of the things that had bothered her with the Yu Yu Hakusho series had been Hiei's reference to ice cream as sweet snow. Ice cream was made of dairy products mixed with flavorings while snow cream, something that could be considered sweet snow, was made out of actual snow. Being a writer and a word person, she would always make a point to groan when it came up. She would then be promptly smacked in the back of the head by Tori.
"Enjoy," Sira said as she handed him a pint and a spoon before taking her pint over to the sofa. Grabbing the remote, she said, "Now to see what's on."
Forty-five minutes later, both Hiei and Sira found themselves completely disgusted yet mesmerized by a soap opera.
"I can't go on Roger," said a busty blonde woman. "If I can't have you then there is no point in living anymore."
"Just die already!" Sira said angrily.
Hiei's eye twitched. "Her high pitched voice is getting on my nerves. I want to rip her vocal chords out of her pathetic throat."
"Honey, please" Roger said, "Just because your twin sister, my sweet heart from high school who supposedly died in a car accident but miraculously survived is having my baby doesn't mean that we can't be together."
"No," Sira said to the TV. "It just means that you have to pay for child support. Now die!"
"I want to kill him too," Hiei muttered, "His presence annoys me."
"No, Roger," the woman said, "It can never be the same."
A loud gunshot was heard as the blond fell to the ground.
Roger stared wide-eyed. "It's John! My evil twin brother who was separated from me at birth and was sent to a military school in Sweden where he vowed to take revenge on me and my family for abandoning him!"
"Yes," John said with an evil grin, "And now you will die so my revenge will be complete." John fired the gun as Roger crumpled to the ground.
"Yay!" Sira cheered, "They're dead! I like John!"
"I find his presence tolerable," Hiei admitted.
The sound of the front door opening alerted them that someone had returned.
Tori and Yukina entered the room grinning.
"How are you doing?" Yukina asked.
"Fine," Sira said with a grin, "I was watching TV with Hiei." She frowned as she noticed that he had vanished. "Well, that was rude. He didn't even say goodbye."
Tori raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You didn't fight or Hiei didn't try to kill you?"
"We found a common enemy," Sira said as she glared evilly at the TV. "Soap Operas."
"Well, this ought to cheer you up!" Tori said as she handed her a rectangular object.
"27 Dresses!" Sira squealed in delight.
"I figured we could watch it since Yukina hasn't seen it yet." Tori said as she placed her hands on Yukina's shoulders.
"You haven't?" Sira asked in disbelief.
Yukina shook her head. "No, I'm afraid not."
"Well then, let's start watching!" Sira said as she plopped in front of the DVD player.
"By the way," Tori said, "we've run out of money so we need to start looking for jobs."
Sira glared at Tori. "Kill joy."
"I'm trying to be realistic," Tori said.
"You're still a kill joy." Sira said before inserting the DVD into the player.
After dinner and the movie, everyone decided to go to bed. Sira was about to drift off into the realm of sleep when an obnoxious tapping started up on her window.
"What the hell is that noise?" She whispered angrily as she sat up in bed. The tapping must have woken Tori up as well because seconds later, she heard her mumble.
"Where is that incessant tapping coming from?"
"I think it's coming from the window," Sira said as Tori and she got up.
Opening the window, they both gasped.
A familiar furry dog-like creature floated before them.
"Molester…" Sira said as her eye twitched.
The molester blinked. "Hello! Nice to see you again!"
Lights aura: So, yeah, the whole eating when bored. That is totally me. Is it bad that I do that?
Amu: Well, you did eat three bags of white cheddar popcorn out of boredom yesterday…
Lights aura: Amu be quiet or I'll tell them how you ate five pies in one sitting.
Amu: (wails) You promised not to tell anyone! (sulks in corner)
Lights aura: Er, anyway, you know what to do. READ and REVIEW!
