Andrea and Brian's Crazy Cross Over Anime

CH. 6:  LET THE CRAZINESS CONTINUE! (AKA He, Himself, She, It, They, Her, Him and Them)

           They had been walking since dawn in complete silence.  Which was odd, especially when you consider that Joey, Kero, and Yahiko were all there.  But the truth of the matter was, this forest was spooky.

           Even though they knew it was day, it was difficult to believe it.  The leaves were so thick that the light barely shown on the path.  The air was dead and still, but occasionally the thick foliage on either side of them would rustle, causing Keiko to press into Yusuke, and Yukina to move closer to Kuwabara.  This made Kuwabara a little too happy for Hiei’s liking, but he held his tongue.         

            Suddenly a bloodcurdling scream rang out through the forest. 

           “D-d-demons?” Joey pulled back a little (that ghost stuff really freaked him out – at least Tristan wasn’t here to see him)

           “Hardly.” Kurama said.

           “I don’t sense anything.” Kuwabara said.

           “So?” Li muttered darkly.

           Kuwabara puffed out his chest with pride. “Sooo” he said expansively, “I’m spiritually aware.  That’s what I do.”

           “And that’s about all he does.” Yusuke said under his breath.

           “Hn. Baka.” Hiei grunted his agreement.

           “Well, if it isn’t demons what is it?” Misty demanded.

           “Probably the wind.” Yusuke said flippantly.

           Kenshin shook his head, “Something is out there, that it is.”

           Everyone sweat dropped.  

           “Umm, oookay.” Yusuke said slowly, smiling nervously and backing away <just smile and nod Yusuke>

            “Let’s just keep moving.” Hiei commanded.

           So they did.  At least… for a little while.  It was really dark (and I mean, really, really dark) even though it was still the middle of the day, and it was cold, and nobody was feeling very confident.  This forest was just downright spooky.

           Suddenly a short figure darted out of the bushes and latched on to Kurama.

           “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!” All the girls screamed (except Shizeru, I don’t think she’s capable)

           “AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHG!” Ash, Takuya, and Joey yelled.

           “Sissies.” Said Yahiko.

           The figure was followed by several more.  They were (as it turned out) people!  Very… short people.  (But they were probably in their twenties – so they were only moderately young people)  The girl (because it was a girl) who had latched on to Kurama looked up at him with teary eyes.

           “Please sir, help us!”

           “Um, alright.” Kurama said uncertainly, “If you could just… let…go… of me.” He tried to pry her off gently, but she buried her face in his chest, wrapping her arms more tightly around his waist.

           Kurama sighed, rolling his eyes skyward, “Why me?”

           It took quite a few tries (and a very long time, it seemed to Kurama) to get the young woman off Kurama.  But eventually they managed it (and Yusuke didn’t even kill anyone! I’m so proud ^__^)

           “So, now, what happened?” Kurama asked, unobtrusively brushing the wrinkles out of his clothing <and this was new> he thought glumly.

           “There’s been a murder!” a blue haired man said.

           “He killed Himself!” the girl blurted out unceremoniously.

            “But I thought you just said it was a murder?” Joey scratched his head.

           “It was.” The man nodded.

           Kurama quirked a brow, “But if he killed himself that makes it a suicide, not a homicide.”

           “A whatiside?”  Kuwabara and Joey just stared at him.

           “What are you talking about fox boy?” Yusuke demanded.

           Kurama sighed (he does that a lot in this fic, but you gotta admit, they are pestering him), “it means murder.  If he killed himself it isn’t murder.”

           “Oh, I get it.” Kuwabara grinned.

           “Sure you do.”

           “Shut up Urameshi!”

           “No, it was definitely murder.” The woman said.

           “Alright, then who was killed?” Kenshin asked.

           “No, Who is still very much alive.  Himself is dead.” The woman answered.

           “Who’s himself?”

           “No. Who’s not.” The woman looked at her friends in confusion.

           “Who’s not Himself.” Another affirmed.

           “So who killed himself?”

           “No. He killed Himself.” The blue haired man insisted.

           “Then it’s a suicide!” Yusuke yelled in frustration.

           “No,” the woman shook her head.  “Look, She, He, Himself, and They were walking through the forest over there.  There was an argument, and He killed Himself.”

           “Oro?” Kenshin tilted his head to one side.  The two strangers ignored him.

           “Her and I came along and found them, with Them.”

           “Who was trying to resuscitate Himself.”

           “Who was?” Yami asked, thinking he might have caught on. (Hey it’s YAMI! ^__^ see, I told you he’d be back) 

           “No, Them was.” The woman said. Yami nodded.

           “Wouldn’t that be they were?” Bakura asked Yami.  Yami shook his head.

            “No, They was in too much shock to do anything.” The woman said.

           “She has terrible grammar.” Keiko whispered to Botan.

            The blue haired man looked at her, “No, She is actually an English teacher.  She has great grammar.  And Her grammar isn’t bad either.” He indicated the woman who had been speaking.

           “But His grammar is sometimes bad.” The woman pointed at the blue haired man.

           “And what is his name?” Yami asked.

           “I just told you.” The woman said.

           “It’s His.” The man affirmed.

           “Whose?” Yukina asked.

           “No, His.  That’s always been his name.” the woman said with a nod for emphasis.

            “Will you just answer our questions?  I thought you wanted help.” Hiei was upset, how dare they make fun of his sister?

           “We did, and we do.” The man said.  “As we were saying. We arrived on the scene to find Them trying to save Himself, She holding down He, and They beside himself with shock.  And that’s when Her screamed.”

           “I didn’t mean to.” The woman defended, “I was startled.  I’ve never seen Himself like that before.”

           “WILL YOU JUST GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!?” Misty screamed, her teeth looked really pointy and her mouth was HUGE.

           “She hasn’t done that in a while.  Darn.” Ash muttered.

           Joey, Yusuke , Hiei, and several others were REALLY annoyed right about now.   Ash, Takuya, and most of the girls were just plain confused. But Yami and Kurama were grinning.

           “Alright Fox boy!” Yusuke yelled, “And just WHY are you smiling?”

           Kurama turned to Yami.  “Shall I?  Or would you like the honors?”

           “By all means, go ahead.  You start.” Yami offered a bow.

           “Why don’t we both do it?” Kurama proposed.

           “I don’t know,” Yami eyed the increasingly angry crowd of characters, “they might get even more confused.”

           “JUST GET ON WITH IT!!!” Even Yukina joined in the shouting.

           O.O “Ehhehe.  I’ll start.” Kurama said nervously.  “Do you mind?” He began arranging the short people in a row. (There were four of them even though only two had been speaking) “Alright, so,” he pointed at the blue haired man, “This is His.  Am I correct?” His (the blue haired man) nodded.

           “And this, is Her.” Yami indicated the woman who had also spoken.

           “This man,” Kurama touched the shoulder of a stranger with black hair, “must be They, because he still looks a little out of it.”

           “Which means this,” Yami motioned to the last man, “must be Them.”

           “And She went with It to take Himself to the coroner’s office.” His supplied.

           “It is the coroner’s assistant.” Them said helpfully.

           “And He was taken away by Us – the police officer who came to the scene.”

           Everyone nodded uncertainly.  Not quite sure that it all made sense, but unwilling to continue the ridiculous discussion.

           “So who’s Who?” Li asked.

           “We just told you.” Kurama said.

           Li shook his head, “No, who is Who?” he indicated the four people.    

            “Oh!” Her exclaimed, “Who’s not here today.  His wife had a dentist appointment.”

           “Who had a dentist appointment?” Botan asked.

           “Someone did.”

           “But who?”

            “No.” His shook his head, “Who’s wife, named Someone, had a dentist appointment.”

           “I need Asprin.” Misty groaned.

           “You said it.” Shizeru held her head.

           “Oh!” Takuya snapped his fingers, “I remember this.  I saw it in a movie once.  Halbit and Cost Ello, or something like that.”

            Kurama chuckled, “That’s Abbot and Costello, but you’re right.”

           Takuya grinned.

           “Movie?” Kenshin and Yahiko just stared at one another. (in case you don’t know, they are from Japan of the 1800’s so they don’t know what a movie is.)

           “I just have one question.” Kurama said.

           “Yes?” His, Her, and Them chorused.

           “If Us took He, and She went with It and Himself, why do you need our help?”

           The four short strangers just stared at him.

           Yami chuckled, “I don’t think they remember.”

           “WHAT!?!” Yusuke exploded, “All that, and they don’t even NEED us!”

           “Ah ha.  Guess we got confused.” Her stuttered.

           “Thank you, bye!” His grabbed Her and They by the hand and all four strangers ran as fast as their short legs could carry them.

           “I’d chase them, but I don’t think I have the energy.” Joey held his forehead wearily.

           “Just Them?” Yami and Kurama asked in unison.  They just chuckled as Joey sent them a death glare.  

           “Umm, okay.  Well, now that that’s over why don’t we… take a … breather!” Yusuke suggested.  He really needed to sit down before he fell down.  All that thinking hurt his head.

 (If it hurt yours too then I suggest you see the Abbot and Costello comedy skit ‘Who’s on First’ it’s great!)
