Everyone is in Koenma’s office,
still tired and yawning. Hiei and
Kurama were standing up leaning against the wall. Yusuke and Kuwabara sat in chairs sleeping when Koenma step in the
room followed by his ogre carrying a small girl about one or two years
old. Koenma slapped Yusuke and Kuwabara
awake as Botan took the sleeping child and held her in her arms.
Yusuke jumped up, “What do you want
now pacifier breathe?” (Ohh,
those are fightin words!)
“Well pacifier breath wanted to
gather everyone. Now Botan would you
put the child down on the floor between them?”
Koenma asked as Botan put the child among the guys on the floor.
“What’s with the baby?” Kuwabara asked.
“Her original mother abandoned her
and we can’t let her stay a lone. We
also don’t know what this little demon is capable of or what type of demon she
is. We did some test on her but every
time it came up negative. We do know
that she has dark powers and we want to get rid of them before she is
influenced to kill.” Koenma said.
“So, you just called us here for that?” A very angry Hiei said. (Who all wants Hiei to kill
Koenma? Hold on, I have enough tickets
for everybody. No need to shove.)
“No, we need someone to look after
her and one of you is going to do that.”
Botan said.
“Why don’t you look after it?” Yusuke said as he grumbled. “I don’t want a child to look after.” (Yes, the child would be
dead in a matter of 12 hours.)
“Well you guys wont get to choose
who becomes a father. She’ll choose for
you. You all have an equal chance of
being a father.” Koenma said.
“I’m a fighter, not some child’s
babysitter.” Hiei said as he started to
walk to the door.
“Stop Hiei. You have one out of four chances that you
wont become one.” Botan said.
“When she first opens her eyes,
she’ll see one of the four of you and the first she sees will become her
adopted parent.” Koenma said as the
girl began to move.
The girl yawned and moved her hands
to her eyes to rub them. She yawned
again. A blurry figure came to her eyes
as she smiled.
“So who is it?” Kurama asked.
They watched the girl raise her arms
that signaled she wanted to be held.
Her arms were out stretched to... (Who? Who?)
“Hiei?” Koenma said in shock. (You
have to be kidding me!)
“I wont do it. I said I didn’t want to be someone’s
babysitter.” He said as he turned
around and started to walk towards the door.
The girl began to whine and
cry. “D-daddy.” (Uhh Ohh)
Hiei stopped and looked back at
her. She was still reaching for
him. He walked slowly towards her and
stood in front of her.
“I’m not your father. So get that idea out of your small
head.” Hiei said as he stared down at
her.
The girl raised her arms higher and
called him daddy. Kurama walked over
and picked her up. She fussed and
kicked. Kurama didn’t want to drop her
so he gave her to Hiei. She wasn’t that
big of a child either. She had black
hair and purple eyes. Hiei showed his
teeth and growled as Yusuke and Kuwabara made fun of the situation.
“Hiei, a father? Ah how cute, they look alike.” Was one of there comments. (Kill them, Kill them!)
“Do you have a death wish! You know as well I do that I didn’t want to
become this child’s father!” Hiei
yelled. “I don’t even know what to do
with it.” (Yes, they have a death wish, kill them!)
“I’ll help you as much as I
can.” Kurama said. “At school, I can take this child
development class.” (Good
‘ol Kurama.)
Yusuke and Kuwabara left laughing as
the two demons stood there. Koenma
walked over to them and held up a book.
(Darn, he didn’t kill them.)
“What’s this for?” Hiei asked taking the book.
“You will write down the things she
does every day.” He said as he went
back to his desk. “Now move along, I
have a lot of work to do and I can’t work with that child in the room.
The two left carrying the little
girl. Kurama said they should give her
a name. Hiei had suggested ‘Neocene’
but Kurama wouldn’t allow her to be named that. They finally decided that she would be called Zi. The two finally got to their apartment and
sat down on the couch as they set the girl on the floor. (I LIKE THE NAME Zi.)
“What do we do now?” Kurama asked.
“I thought you were supposed to know.” Hiei said.
“Maybe we should find that girl
Yusuke likes. She’ll probably know what
to do.” Kurama said. (You mean Keiko?)
Hiei picked up the girl once again
and the two decided to go to Yusuke to search out Keiko. The two arrived to Yusuke’s home about
noon. When they walked in Kuwabara,
Keiko, and Yusuke sat on a couch, apparently still laughing about the child’s
choice. (Come on Hiei, just
cut off their dumb heads!)
Hiei walked up behind them and
knocked their heads together. (Well
I even could have done better then that...ah no no, you can put your sword away
Hiei, I wish to keep my head.
“What the hell?” He said as he grabbed his head.
“Oh what a cute little girl, you
shouldn’t swear around her or she might pick up that bad habit.” Keiko said.
“Like she can understand what we’re
talking about.” Yusuke said.
“Bad, bad.” Zi said as she grabbed a hold of Hiei’s
shirt caller. (The
little tot has a mouth!)
“That little brat.” Yusuke said as Kuwabara fell off of the
couch laughing. (Is
that the best you can come up with?)
“Oh, how cute, may I hold her Hiei?”
Keiko asked.
“I don’t care.” Hiei said as he held her out to Keiko.
Zi laughed as Keiko tickled her.
“What’s her name?” She asked.
“We called her Zi.” Kurama said. (A lot better then Nonsense or something like that.)
“What a nice name.” Keiko said as she sat down on the couch with
her.
“Oh, we came looking for you Keiko
to ask you some questions on how to take care of her. I must say, neither of us has ever taken care of a child
before.” Kurama said sitting on an arm
of a chair. (Hide
the shinny stuff, Yoko might just join the party.)
“Oh, well you have to feed her,
change her, and bathe her.” She began.
“Change?” Hiei asked looking up.
“Yes, you’ll have to keep
clean. She doesn’t look old enough to
be potty trained so you’ll have to buy dippers. You’ll have to keep sharp objects out of her reach as well as small
ones. You should keep your valuables
out of reach also. What kind of toys do
you have for her to play with?” Keiko
asked as Zi grabbed onto her hair and began to pull. (Especially your stolen shinny collection Kurama,
Yoko would kill you if she got a hold of that.)
“We don’t have anything for her yet.” Kurama said.
“We have some old stuffed animals
lying around the house. Come by here
tomorrow and I’ll let her have the ones I find.” Kuwabara said. (A
guy with stuff animals? I wonder if he
has any barbi dolls too.)
“Ok then.” Kurama said.
“Oh, laughing boy. You’re watching her tomorrow. I have errands to run and I can’t take her
with.” Hiei said as Yusuke stopped
laughing. (The
girl’s death sentence.)
Zi had stopped fiddling with Keiko’s
hair and was sitting on the couch next to Yusuke. She crossed her arms and made a face similar to his. (How fun. She likes you Yusuke.)
Yusuke looked over and saw the girl
do the same. He moved an arm and so did
she. “Squirt.”
“Squirt.” She said mimicking.
“Stop coping you little brat!” Yusuke yelled.
“Op oping you ittle brat.” She said.
“Haha, I can say it better then
you!” Yusuke said as he claimed
victory.
She looked at him and stuck her
thumbs in her ears and her fingers spread, squinting her eyes and sticking out
her tong, “Mmmmmmm!” (Ohh! Beat that!)
“I guess that this demon isn’t
afraid of the spirit detective.”
Kuwabara said. “You better watch
out Urameshi, she’s gona beat you down when she gets older.” Kuwabara said teasing him. (Yaya! Maybe she’ll kill Yusuke!)
“Ya ya.” Yusuke said as he leaned back on the chair.
The two left after setting the
arrangement for Zi to stay. That night
at supper, Kurama and Hiei had trouble.
Zi didn’t want to hold her spoon and when she did, food went everywhere
including on the two demons. (Buy
lots, and lots of hairnets!)
After supper Kurama and Hiei were
getting tired from the little demons games.
They set up things they didn’t want Zi to get a hold of or hurt herself
with. They gave up when she began to
yawn. Kurama and Hiei made a small bed
for her on the couch to sleep in. They
set her down and she fell asleep a short while after that. The two men went there separate ways to go
to their rooms on different sides of the house. (You guys are just going to leave Zi in the dark?)
About two o’clock in the morning
Kurama woke to the sounds of Zi crying.
He got up and went to see what is wrong. He flipped on the light and she sat there shaking. (Kurama to the rescue.)
“What’s wrong squirt? You hungry?” Kurama asked as he picked her up and rocked her in his arms.
Zi shook her head as he sat down on
the couch and laid her down on the cushion.
“You have to go back to sleep, I
have school tomorrow and I need my sleep.”
Kurama said.
She whined when he got up.
Kurama turned and smiled, “Oh, now I
see what you want.” Kurama said picking
her up. (She needs to be
changed, I know it!)
Hiei was asleep in his bed when he
heard someone knocking. “What is
it? I’m trying to sleep.” He said angrily as he opened his door. (Why go to Hiei?)
Kurama put Zi into his arms and
yawned, “She’s lonely and I need to get back to sleep.” Kurama walked off down the hall to get to
his room. (Oh
darn and I wanted to see Kurama’s face.)
Hiei stood there and closed his door
as he sat on his bed half asleep, half awake.
He put her down on one side of the bed and he went to the other and
crawled into bed to sleep. (Bad boy!)
The next morning Hiei woke to the
sun as it shinned in his eyes. He
rolled over to see Zi sleeping with her thumb in her mouth. He sat up and tried to think how she got
into his room. He looked at his clock
and knew Kurama had already left for school.
He took the thumb out of her mouth and picked her up and walked out to
the other room. He laid her on the
couch and began to make his breakfast. (How
nice of him, wait a minute! Nice!)
Zi began to move and she got down
from the couch and walked out into the kitchen. She tugged on Hiei’s pant leg and looked down at her.
“You’re hungry aren’t you?” He asked picking her up. (No, I’m just here to make
your life a living hell! Yes I’m
hungry!)
He walked over to the table and put
her in a chair. He sat down and without
think. Started to put the spoon in the
jar and putting it in her mouth. He
realized what he was doing and continued.
At least now he didn’t have to worry about cleaning up the kitchen and
his hair again. He had received a baby
bottle from Yusuke when he was a child and fed her milk. (Hey,
I think Hiei’s doing a little bit to well for someone who doesn’t know how to
take care of a child. You have a
problem with it. Hey, just remember,
it’s my fanfic and I believe that Hiei should have some fatherly instinct.) He cleaned her off and he
ate some breakfast himself. Hiei picked
her up and then left with Zi to drop her off and Yusuke. (Darn, I can’t think of
anything funny to write and I can’t pick on Hiei or I’ll get my head chopped
off.)
When he arrived, Kuwabara had a box of stuff in the middle of the room and Yusuke was sitting on the couch.
Hiei walked in Kuwabara looked
back. Hiei chuckled at the sight of
them. (I have gone nuts,
Hiei, chuckling?)
“I forgot, don’t you also have
school today?” Hiei asked setting Zi
down. (Yep, just
skipping.)
“Nope, the school has gas problems
and they’re working on the pipes.”
Kuwabara said as he noticed Zi looking at the box. (I
was close.)
He crawled onto the floor and opened
it.
“This is the only kind of toy that
wasn’t broken. The others are going out
the dump.” Kuwabara said.
He held up a stuffed rabbit and Zi
squealed. (A
rabbit?)
“I’m leaving her with you. She better not have a scratch on her head or
I’ll have to beat your ass.” Hiei said.
“Ohh, the father’s going to beat my
ass, I’m so scared.” Yusuke said as he
rolled over laughing. (Choke
on your tong, you leave Hiei alone!)
Zi got up and ran towards Hiei, “Bye
bye Daddy.” (You
left me to die here!)
He patted her on the head. “I’ll be back soon, give them a tuff time.” (Don’t
yell at me, so I gave Hiei a soft spot for the little girl, but put your self
in his position, wouldn’t you give in to her little charm. And no, put your sword away that you are
imagining!)
Hiei left and Zi played with the
stuffed bunny. Yusuke really wasn’t
paying attention to her. (Ohh, Hiei’s gona kill him!)
Kuwabara was
watching T.V. and Zi had disappeared.
Hiei was due to come back around any moment. (Won’t this be fun.)
“Hey Kuwabara, get Zi. Hiei’s gona be back in a minute.” Yusuke
yelled to him.
“What are you talking about
Urameshi? She’s in there with
you!” Kuwabara yelled back. (Uhh Ohh.)
“She’s not with you? Oh shit!”
Yusuke yelled.
Yusuke came running out of the
kitchen, “Don’t just sit there, and
help me find her!” Yusuke ran into his
room, clothes everywhere, piles and piles of junk. (Kind of reminds me of my room but without the dead
animals, wait I take that back, he does have them on the floor of his closet.)
He started to through clothes
off his floor and most of them landing in his white hamper that was in front of
the door. Kuwabara was looking other
places in the house when Yusuke’s front door opened to a short demon. (Ohh, they’re dead!)
“Oh, Hiei, didn’t know you would be
back so soon.” Yusuke said walking out
to the living room. (Kill
him, kill him!)
“Why are you acting like that?” Hiei asked the sweating Yusuke.
“Ah, it’s nothing, we just can’t
find Zi.” Yusuke said.
“What did you say?” Hiei asked.
(On the count of three run!)
“Ah yeah, we kinda took our eyes off
her and she sort of disappeared.” Yusuke said.
(One.)
“I suggest you find her.” Hiei said. (Two.)
Yusuke began to step back when a
small voice came from Yusuke’s room.
“Daddy!” Zi yelled as her head
popped up from Yusuke’s hamper. (Ah man, I wanted to see
Hiei go retro on Yusuke too, *I don’t know what retro means, just thought it
sounded cool.* Hey, where’s Kuwabara anyway?) “I did what you told me too, give them a
hard time.” She said as she ran towards
Hiei.
He bent down and picked her up. Yusuke almost had a nervous breakdown. (Hiei should of killed
him.) Hiei left feeling satisfied with what Zi
did. He walked home and was stopped by
Botan and Koenma who was with this strange woman.
“I see the child’s alive.” Koenma said.
“I can keep her alive.” Hiei said.
“Who’s she.”
“Hiei, this is the girls
mother.” Botan said.
“I thought you said she was
abandoned.” Hiei said.
“Funny thing, she was just held up somewhere.” Koenma said. “We need the child.”
Hiei looked at her and then to the
mother. He put Zi down on the ground
and pushed her forward.
“Daddy?” Zi said turning around.
“We’ll see each other again. How about in ten years?” Hiei said patting her on the head.
“Ok.” She walked to the woman and she disappeared. (Ah, at least he got to say
his goodbye. *SNIFF SNIFF* Who am I
kidding, poor Hiei.)
Hiei walked home and found Kurama
resting on the couch. He opened his
eyes to see Hiei without Zi.
“Koenma see you?” He asked.
“Yes.” Hiei said.
“You’ll miss her won’t you?” Kurama asked as he sat up.
“Maybe.” Hiei said.
“You can cry if you want.” Kurama teased.
Hiei picked up a pillow and threw it
a Kurama, “Shut up.” (Aren’t
they the best of friends, hey! Yoko
never showed up. And I wanted him to
steel some shinny stuff too!)
“It’s ok, we all have our soft
spots.” Kurama said.
“Guess so. I feel like beating up Yusuke, want to join me.” Hiei asked evilly.
“Sure.” Kurama agreed as the two left the
apartment. (Oh
I am evil.)
OWARI
