Warnings: OOC-ness, fluff

A Dozen plus Three

By: Skylar Inari

Kazuma sniffed the experimentally at the air. Then he nodded.

He was right.

Hotdogs were around.

The chase was on!

He dashed around two ugly old hags who were discussing the merits of rutabaga's. He barely ducked out of the way of an old drunk man violently swinging a cane around.

Kazuma turned a corner and . . . . . . . saw heaven.

Hotdogs! In all their glory, the mightest of all foods was resting before him on the little cart the vendor had! Oh mighty hotdogs!

Panting a little, Kazuma walked up to the tubble little vendor and ordered a dozen hotdogs plus three more.

The tubby little vendor looked at him strangely for a moment then began giving Kazuma his hotdogs.

Happily Kazuma paid the tubby little vendor and walked away savouring the taste of his prize.

Munching quickly he finished off a dozen and two hotdogs in the space of five minutes.

As he lifted the last hotdog to his mouth. . . . .

"What is it with you and those things?" snarled a voice.

The hotdog flew from Kazuma's hands in shock and hit the unfortunate speaker in the face.

Angrily glittering red eyes glared at Kazuma through the coating of ketchup and mustard and god knows what else on his face.

Kazuma backed away nervously.

Hiei yanked off his bandana, unwound the bandages from around his arm then held out the arm and began intoning, "Jaou ensatsu koku ryu ha!"

"Argggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
