The Great Argument
Amu: (is bawling) I'm so lonely! Without L.A. here I don't have anyone to talk to, or tease, or make me pie. (sobs) Why did the mob take her away?
L.A.: (magically appears behind her) Because you sicked them on me.
Amu: Gah! (passes out from shock)
L.A.: (blinks) In other news, I just finished my first latch hook piece and I will soon learn how to crochet. I'm finally crafty which makes me so proud. (wipes a tear from her eye) Wow, I could be an old lady. That's a little sad.
Amu: (is still passed out)
L.A.: Anywho enjoy the chapter!
Demon of my heart and mind: Thanks for the review! I appreciate the glomp. (feels loved) Anywho, yeah I can totally feel for you about the ants. We had an ant problem last summer so whenever I turned my dog out, I would get bitten by ants. Black ants to be exact which I thought was not possible but apparently it is.
DoilyRox: Thanks for the review! Oh, strawberry muffin! (eats muffin) Yum, I'm so glad Amu's not awake now. She would have eaten it.
9shadowcat9: Thanks for the review! No, don't join the mob. I've updated, see? Now you can be on my side!
Valinor's Twilight: Thanks for the review! As for what's going on with Tori and Kurama, I don't think they even know themselves.
Yume Ninja: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked the line. I have updated as you have requested.
Out-Of-Control-Authoress: Thanks for the review! Hopefully I won't be taking so long to update. If everything goes according to plan (which of course it never does but let's just pretend anyway) I should be updating this story weekly.
Angel of Randomosity: Thanks for the review! Sweet, I'm glad you found this funny. Sometimes I fail at humor so, I'm glad it's working.
Heavensblackcat: Thanks for the review! Oh, don't go crazy. That would be sad. Hopefully this update will allow you to keep your sanity by reading about their insanity. Wow, try saying that three times fast.
Shiningheart of ThunderClan: Thanks for the review! Yeah, Sira doesn't like ants because they bit her. Any animal that attacks her goes on her black list which strangely enough is similar to mine. (shifty eyes) I wonder how that happened.
Dyani91: Thanks for the review! And, of course you can save it to your archives. I always get so excited and honored when someone feels the need to add it to their favorite stories. It means I'm doing a good job.
UpperClassK9: Thanks for the review! Yeah, if we were to go by Youko's and Kurama's fan base, then he would have like a billion babies in the world and be the biggest slut of all time. Which makes me wonder, since he is a guy, he wouldn't be a slut so what would he be. Hmm…and now I'm digressing so I'll stop and let you get to the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. I only own my characters who keep freeloading off of me. (Amu wakes up, glares at L.A., and passes out again)
She should have seen it coming. When she thought back to it, the signs had been all around her. Maybe she had been in denial or maybe she was just oblivious but nothing could prepare her for opening the door to her best friend kissing an anime character.
"Sira…" Tori started.
"Blah!" Sira said as she turned away. "Excuse me while I go have a panic attack."
"Sira," Tori groaned as she ran after her.
She had barely made it to her room before Tori caught up with her.
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you," Tori said. "We're not really in a relationship yet. We're just together. Plus, I knew you would react this way."
"What way," Sira's eye twitched as she sat on her bed. "I'm perfectly fine with this."
Tori raised an eyebrow. "Your eye is twitching."
"Okay," Sira slammed her hands onto the bed. "I'm not." She glared at Tori. "And, you shouldn't be either."
"Tori's eyes narrowed. "Excuse me?"
"We're eventually going to go back," Sira said as she crossed her arms. "And, where does that leave you? Heartbroken and depressed."
"And, how do you know that's going to happen?" Tori said, her hands on her hips.
"Because we are in an anime," Sira said. "Our story has to go towards the great plan like all stories."
Tori rolled her eyes. "If you haven't noticed, nothing's gone according to your supposed plan." She clenched her fists. "Have you ever thought that we might not ever go home?"
Sira stood up, her face flushed with anger. "Don't say that."
"Or what," Tori glared. "Is some great evil creature going to come down and gobble me up for saying such blasemy?"
Sira's stance wavered slightly. Hurt flashed briefly in her eyes "Tori…"
Angry tears ran down Tori's face. "Couldn't you have at least pretended to be happy for me?"
"I just don't see how this is going to make you happy," Sira said. Tori had to see her side. She was just looking out for her.
Tori crossed her arms and looked away. "Well, a best friend would have tried to."
Sira's eyes narrowed as fresh anger rose up in her. "Well, I'm sorry I didn't follow the best friend code. Maybe we shouldn't be best friends."
Tori lowered her head as she turned away. "Maybe we shouldn't."
Sira let out a gasp as shock filled her. Tori quickly walked out of the room leaving Sira all alone.
Something thumped the bed post. Looking down, she saw Haku. He was looking up with his head cocked and his eyes full of concern.
"Hey there," She said as she scooped him up and cradled him. "Don't worry about us. It was just a fight." A tear slid down her face as her voice wavered. "It's only just a fight?"
Socrates was pleased with how things were developing. From his perch on a tree on the outskirts of the temple, he had seen the fight break out between the two girls. "It seems the stress of their situation is finally getting the better of them," He whispered. He still had a few more things to do before he could set his plan into action. His plan looked like it would definitely succeed with the sudden generosity from his master. He brandished the sword he held in his hand. Daragon, the demon sword, was a prize for any demon and the fact that his master had entrusted it to him made Socrates think that maybe the master did believe in his plan.
He was no fool though. He knew not to fully trust his master. The threat of death still hung in the air between them. However, after fully investigating the sword, he could not find any spells or traps that could hurt him.
"Soon," he whispered as he slipped Daragon back in its sheath. "Very soon."
The tree branch bent with additional weight which meant his company had arrived. "Ah, I see you've finally arrived," he said as he turned towards his company. "I am in need of your services."
A feminine giggle reached his ears. "It will be my pleasure," the figure said.
Yukina was worried. She knew that Sira and Tori had been in a fight. In fact, the entire temple and the nearby town had heard by the way they carried on the night before.
Fights happened between people. This was nothing new to her. And, since Sira and Tori were best friends, she hadn't been too worried when they slammed the doors to their rooms and refused to talk to anyone for the rest of the night.
However, when the next day came and they were still refusing to talk to one another, she knew that there was a problem. They were being stubborn and childish. Whatever they had fought about, they each thought that they were in the right. The tension created by this argument was almost unbearable. Nobody liked the fact that the two best friends were fighting. Something had to be done.
Sira entered the room. She took one glance at Tori, rolled her eyes, and headed towards the kitchen.
Tori glared. "What's the matter? To high and mighty to be in the same room?"
Sira laughed. "Uh, no, I just don't want to witness you pull another Mary Sue antic."
Tori stood up. "What did you just call me?"
"Oh," Sira said slyly. "You mean Mary Sue?" She grinned. "Mary Sue. Mary Sue Mary Sue…"
Yusuke leaned towards Kuwabara. "Who the hell is Mary Sue?"
"You expect me to know," Kuwabara said
"Enough!" Yukina yelled causing everyone to stop and stare at her in amazement. Really, she didn't understand why everyone would stare at her when she lost her temper. Just because she rarely showed that side of her didn't mean she didn't have one
Tori and Sira sent each other one final glare before marching off in different directions.
Yukina sighed. They needed a distraction. Her gaze drifted to the TV where an advertisement was playing. Watching it for a few seconds, her face lit up.
Sira wandered aimlessly through the halls with Haku trailing slowly behind her. She really wanted to be better today but apparently she still hadn't gotten over the argument. A room was off to her right. She peered inside and saw Genkai sitting in an arm chair, reading a newspaper and smoking a cigarette.
Sira entered the room and sat on the sofa across from her. Haku ran and jumped up to sit next to her.
"I know I'm right," Sira said. "Don't you think so?"
Genkai put down her newspaper. "You do realize that you are in the same room as me?"
"Tori's just being stubborn," Sira said. She glanced up at Genkai. "Right?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about," Genkai returned to her newspaper.
Sira turned towards Haku. "You believe I'm right, don't you?"
Haku cocked his head in confusion.
Sira let out a sigh as she stormed out of the room.
"My home is a zoo," Genkai said as she flipped the page.
Tori sat down on a rock and gloomily took in her surroundings. She knew Sira had just been looking out for her but she was angry that Sira thought she was foolhardy.
"Ah, it seems I have found you, Miss Tori," Akira said as he sat in front of her. "I see something is troubling you, what can it be?"
Sira and I sort of had a fight," Tori said.
Akira nodded. "Yes, I noticed you two had a tiff. Does it have to do with a certain someone's relationship?"
Tori looked at him in surprise. "How did you know?"
Akira grinned. "We are talking about me. Therefore, the answer will forever remain a mystery."
"Hardy, har, har," Tori said as she leaned back on the rock. "I just can't believe Sira doesn't trust me. It's not like I'm in love with Kurama or anything."
"Sira knows you are wiser than that. However, love is fickle; it can become passionate or end in a spat." Akira stood back up. "But, there is something you shouldn't ignore. Wherever there is a relationship, there is the ability for it to become something more."
Tori smirked. "My, you're quite the poet."
Akira shrugged. "Sounding poetic takes lots of time." He cast her a sly grin. "Of course, it helps if you always end in a rhyme."
Sira wandered outside in search of something to vent her anger on. A nearby tree looked promising so she walked up to it, kicked it lightly, then turned around, and leaned against it.
"Don't kick my tree," a voice said from overhead.
She looked up and saw Hiei sitting on a branch. "Every tree's your tree." Sira stood up and crossed her arms.
"Hn," Hiei leaned back against the trunk.
"I've got a question for you," Sira said. "Would you allow yourself to fall in love with someone that you might never see again?"
"I think love is a pointless emotion," Hiei said.
Sira rolled her eyes. "Okay, let me rephrase my question. Would you allow yourself to hate someone that you'll never see again?"
"No," he peered down at her, "because I would have already killed him instead of risking never seeing him again."
"Ugh," Sira threw her hands in the air. "You're hopeless."
"Hn," he said with a smirk on his face
"How the hell do you have fan girls?" Sira pointed an accusing finger at him. "There are people who think they can change you, marry you, and have your kids." She dropped her arms. "They obviously never met you. I mean, you're like…" She cleared her throat and lowered her voice. "I'm Hiei. Hn. You should fear me. Hn. I'm gonna cut your tongue out. Hn."
Hiei raised an eyebrow. "Are you done?"
Sira glared. "Hn." She abruptly turned around and made to leave.
"You can't control love or hate," Hiei called out to her. "It just happens."
Sira turned around and looked at him skeptically.
Hiei shrugged. "At least, that's what the fox says."
Yukina bounced excitedly on the balls of her feet. She had come up with a great way to ease tension and hoped that the others would be interested.
As Tori entered the room Sira came barging in from the kitchen holding something. "You dropped your earring" She said angrily as she held it out to Tori.
Tori glared. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Sira said sarcastically as she quickly left the room.
Well, Yukina thought, hopefully it will work.
L.A.: Now what does Yukina have planned? Will Socrates win? Will Genkai ever have her temple returned to normal? You'll have to wait and see.
Amu: (is still passed out)
L.A.: (raises eyebrow) You done playing dead yet?
Amu: (stick forelegs in air like Frankenstein and sits up) I live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
L.A. (rolls eyes) A little melodramatic, aren't we?
Amu: (glares) Kill joy.
