TEASER - Youth Gone Wild - Chapter 4
This is all I've got written so far, so I don't know what song title'll be the chapter's name yet, but here goes:
Hey, Mukuro!"
Hiei's eyelids creased, then parted, allowing the red orbs underneath to glare into the dark. The bedroom door was open, and the hall light on. A shadow could be seen traveling up and down its length, contorting as its fleshly lead bent over or crouched down, looking for something. "MUKURO! Have you seen my nose ring?!"
"Did you check the counter?!"
Grumbling, Hiei sat up in bed, hissed and held his breath as a burning pain shot up froma round the base of his spine. He'd expected it, but still.
"It's not on the counter!"
Hiei rolled his eyes, untangled himself from the sheets.
"Is it in the bathroom?!"
"Shit! What if it went down the sink?!"
Hiei shuffled into the bathroom, turned on the light, blinked, rolled his eyes again. "It's on the sink, shitheads!" he bellowed on his way to the toilet, at which he dropped his pants and began to piss.
The bathroom door, partially open, was flung so the rest of the way as Shigure bolted in and reclaimed the found piece of jewelry. "Anything burn?" he asked Hiei casually while he slid the ring through his nostril.
"My piss, or my ass?" Hiei replied, pulling up his pants and slamming down the seat. Mukuro had finally trained him to do so when he was done. He' never realized how serious she was about the whole thing until he'd left it up one time too many, and she stormed in the next time and slammed it down right on him.
"If it burns to piss, you should probably see a doctor."
"You mean a licensed one, right?" he retorted, shoving Shigure out of the way so he could wash his hands.
"Just remember, the lubricant just allows things to slide easier. You're not dying if you're sore."
He was not that naive. "I think I'll live," he said, rear-slamming the bigger man on his way out.
Mukuro was in the kitchen, eating an orange while the tea kettle made warm-up hisses. "Hey." Hiei looked, took a step back and quickly caught the key she threw at him. "Get a copy of that made today. You should probably go let your foster dad know you're alive, but you shouldn't have to sleep on any porch again. Bring me the original at work."
Hiei pocketed it. "Thanks," he said, putting a pair of Pop-Tarts in the toaster while looking for his backpack.
"How're you feeling?"
Why at the soliciations--"I'm fine. Shit, you're more concerned about a poked sphincter than you were when I sliced open my hands."
"That's what you get for being a dumbshit and playing catch with the knives," she said.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw his breakfast popping up. He put one in his jaws and felt melted chocolate ooze into his mouth. "'A'er," he managed, throwing his backpack on with one hand while waving his intact Pop-Tart at her with the other.
"Mukuro!" he heard on his way out. "Have you seen my eyebrow ring?!"
So I've looked at the characters tossed out for the meme in the previous post, and it looks like a lot of YYH and a lot of InuYasha. I'll go ahead and get to randomizing those pairings today and we'll see what we get.
Oh yeah, and: The King is dead ... long live Justin Timberlake.
