Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction / Fruits Basket Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Ultimate Hodgepodge ❯ Car Trouble ( Chapter 2 )

It was a pretty normal ride in front, where Yakumo and Kikyo sat at either side, chatting.

In back, it was a different story.

Inuyasha had leaned over Ash in a most reprehensible manner to hang his head out the window.

Ash, convinced that he was some weird new Pokemon, captured him in a pokeball which he stuffed inside his pocket.

But they didn't have time to enjoy the extra leg room, because somebody slid through the roof of the car to take his place.

“Kimbley!!” Yelled Ed, leaning over }{ and Kish in the same manner to try and pummel one of his arch-nemesisses. Kimbley quirked an eyebrow, actually he did his best to copy the expression of one Mr. Spock, second in command on the starship Enterprise, and leaned forward so that their noses touched. Ed blushed. And why wouldn't he, after all the yaoi stuff he'd seen?

“What's the matter, Shortmetal?” Kimbley grinned, showing some 45 teeth that were way too straight.

“Who are you calling—“ started Ed, only to be yanked back by his coat-collar onto Envy's lap (who had ended up next to him) and have a pair of somewhat cool hands put over his mouth as the arms held him there and the seatbelt—of course—locked.

“Is this a shonen-ai thing, or is it just one of your quirks Envy?” }{, who was now next to both of them, stared.

“Well I'm barely even close to shonen-ai,” replied Envy, resting his chin on Ed's head, “The reason everyone who watches the show thinks that, is I like to push Elric's buttons.”

Kimbley, meanwhile, was deep into conversation with Jesse, speaking in a weird, purring voice. They seemed to be discussing how to capture stuff. James looked frightened.

Yuki was chatting with Al about the behavioral patterns of cats, while Kyo, who'd somehow gotten squeezed next to him by the window, alternated between objecting to what his brother was saying and trying to punch him. Kish was poking his head out in front of Kimbley to antagonize Ryou, and basically it was pretty hectic. After awhile Kimbley left, leaving more leg-room than ever. Miroku convinced Ash to allow him to see this new “pokemon”, because he'd never seen any except Pikachu, who had a reserved seat on Ash's shoulder.

But slowly, boredom set in.

With 20 miles to go (They were halfway there) it was getting pretty bad.

Kish and Ryou, now next to eachother, were pretty badly scuffed up; both had black eyes, Kish's cheek was bruised and Ryou had taken it pretty hard in the side and stomach.

Inuyasha was threatening Ash and Ash was threatening Inuyasha, and, scariest of all, Ed was sitting contently on Envy's lap, okay on the seat between his legs because he was too heavy, and he had sort of a weird smile on his face. Kind of like when you chug a starbucks Frappuchino and you know you're gonna be sick for the next hour but you're not sorry, yeah, kind of like that.

Envy was freaking out, as were Al and Roy.

Al put his face in his hands (He's in his normal body—post series? I dunno.) And sniffed.

Roy started to hum “Taps”.

Ed snuggled up against Envy's chest, murmuring something inaudible, and fell asleep.

Hoenheim appeared, laughed his head off for a few minutes, snapped some photos and left.

Envy fainted.

}{ sighed and leaned straight back, figuring that she should take advantage of her quiet seatbeltmates (Quadruple-buckled, remember? They're in the middle so they're quintuple: Ryou>Kish>}{>Envy/Ed) and catch some winks. The car swerved to miss a random snake, and Ryou fell against Kish. Kish muttered something about Ryou's mother. Ryou said cyniclons don't have mothers, so the whole lot of them are b@$#@&%$. The volume went up about 50 decibels. }{ sighed and leaned forward again, massaging her already-sore temples. It was going to be a long weekend.
