chucklingcorpse wanted to know what would happen if Hiei and Kuwabara were trapped in a candy store together with no way out.



Yuusuke's chowing down on a mouthful of salt water taffy and laughing so hard Kuwabara's mentally reviewing the heimlich. "A candy store?"

"A cursed candy store," Kuwabara corrects him, putting just enough spin on the word cursed to emphasize the total insanity of the whole thing. Yuusuke snickers. "Apparently the owner died and had some lingering hostility toward some of his customers." He's grinning like an idiot himself, and he's well aware that part of the amusement value is from the colossal sugar rush. "I guess he didn't do very good business when he was open, so he trapped his customers forever."

"And it's just a total accident that you and Hiei ended up in there," Yuusuke said, biting the head off a marshmallow chicken and leaning back against the side of Kuwabara's bed.

There was enough candy scattered across the floor between them to make an entire neighborhood of trick-or-treaters die of joy. Kuwabara figures that between Urameshi's demonic appetite (which he's had since long before he actually became a demon) and his own sugar tooth, they can finish it off before Shizuru gets home and tries to claim a cut.

Kuwabara shrugged and snagged a fistful of peanut clusters. "Seriously. I was looking for a present for Yukina - something sweet, you know? And Hiei swears up and down he was just delivering a message to me from Koenma."

Yuusuke's got a look in his eye that bodes ill for the fire demon. "Did he ever tell you what the message was?"

"Interestingly enough, no."

Yuusuke cracks up again and Kuwabara grins.

"So the curse trapped you inside?"

Kuwabara nodded. "I think the old man's been dead less than a couple hours by the time we got there. Anyway, once we get in, we can't get out. Door won't open, windows won't break. The phone's uselss and my cell won't work. Hiei did everything short of turn the Black Dragon lose but didn't even make a mark."

Urameshi whistles, a messy effort considering the amount of marshmallow he's chowing down on. "That's some curse."

"Tell me about it." It had been a little freaky, actually. Kuwabara knew exactly how powerful Hiei was. No plateglass storefront window should have been able to withstand that. "So we're just chilling in there for, like sixteen HOURS, right? And we figure eventually one of you will miss us." He snorts. "Like, in a year or two, right?"

Urameshi shrugs and grins sheepishly. "Kurama woulda noticed sooner."

"So we just wait around patiently for one of you to show up-"

Urameshi laughed in his face. "He started a fight about you buying Yukina a present and within five minutes there were flaming marshmallows everywhere."

"Yeah, pretty much."

"So how'd you get out?"

Kuwabara bit into a cadbury egg and grinned, resolutely ignoring the blush trying to creep its way over his face. "Well, I know Hiei's got some awesome destructive capabilities. And it's just a freaking store, after all, right? So I may have mentioned that sugar gives me gas."

Urameshi laughed so hard he ended up choking on a gummy worm.
