Author’s Note (bowing multiple times): I’m sorry I haven’t written anything like in…forever My computer broke down, then it came back up, then I didn’t feel like writing, and then we didn’t have internet, then the computer had tons of viruses, and we had to get another CPU and the chapter I had just started on got deleted, and we just got our internet back recently, and …here I am.

Hiei: Enough with the excuses! Write now, I want my sweet snow!

Author: Okay, okay. Here I go. Just to warn you, I may be a little off, so if I’m not as good, I am sorry.

---Chapter 6: “Prizes Galore”---

“Yah, we won and you lost!” said Yusuke, doing a little victory dance.

“Hey, stop dancing or I’ll give you your present and then vanquish it before your eyes!” yelled Hùong Niu.

Yusuke stopped dancing. She turned her attention to Yoko.

“You however, I never agreed to give YOUanything. Why did you help them?” she huffed, crossing her arms. “I was so close to winning! Well, not me exactly, but Ardnas was so close to winning!”

Yoko smiled.

“I did it because I wanted you to taste defeat, even if it is a small one.” He replied as he ran his claw through her hair.

“Don’t touch me!” she snapped as she whacked his hand away.

Hiei, (forgetting that seeing that much pink on a person, burned his eyes) had had enough of her talking.

“Sweet snow, now!” he ordered.

“Fine, fine, don’t get your jagan eye all in a bunch.” She snorted. He glared at her. She ignored it. “Okay, all of you who were ACTUALLYparticipants of this bet please present yourself, now.”

Yoko was about to add a little comment of his own before he disappeared, however, the glare she gave him told him that if he even opened his mouth, he’d be gone in an instant. So, he merely smiled and allowed Suishi (sp?) to come forward. Hùong Niu eased herself.

“Now, what would you all like?” she asked patiently. “I may be a beautiful, famous, and infamous villain; however, I do keep my word.”

“Sweet snow, now.” Was, of course, Hiei.

“A new toy for Ekiichi, that’s my cat.” Replied Kuwabara as he rubbed/scratched the back of his head.

“Roses, to replace the one Ardnas destroyed at school.” Kurama replied (aww, he didn’t forget about them).

“I want you to do my homework for the next three days.” Said Yusuke, he smiled.

“What?” exclaimed Hùong Niu. She took a step back. They all looked/stared at Yusuke.

“What?” asked Yusuke. “We did agree on ‘anything’.”

“Nice, that’s smart. I didn’t think anyone of you would remember that part. I like you, Yusuke.” She said, nodding her head. “Okay, since that’s what you all want, I’ll get Ardnas to buy the snow and the cat toys, and she’ll do your homework, Yusuke.”

“Kurama, here are your roses.” She said as she waved her staff-less hand in the air. A bouquet of white roses appeared in his hands. “I made them white so Ardnas won’t be able to see them. She just despises roses.”

“Thank you.” Was his reply.

Hùong Niu, or Aygül, had then prepared to disappear; however, she stopped and thought about it.

“You know what? I think I will give the rest of you, except Yusuke, your rewards now.” She said with a sort of malevolent smile.

The YuYu gang stood there for a moment, their eyebrows rose, as Aygül took a few steps back. At first, they thought she planned to run away, but she stopped and took two steps forward. With that, she commenced with what they thought to be a performance. She took a swordsman’s stance, then leapt, and spun in mid air. She landed on her right foot, posed in another stance, with her left knee raised high, her right arm in front of her, and her left arm (the one with the staff) over her head. She stood there for about two seconds, and then quickly planted her left foot while she spun her staff (which was about seven feet long and weighed about 1000lbs, just so you know) with both hands before slamming the crescent-patterned end of it on the ground, which shook.

At first nothing happened, then, all of a sudden the gang couldn’t see anything but pink smoke. They, as in Yusuke and Kuwabara, started to panic. However, after about thirty seconds, it completely cleared up. Aygül stood in front of them but they, as in Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara, didn’t notice her. Kuwabara was too busy gasping at the twenty bags filled with cat toys that surrounded him. Hiei, on the other hand, was too busy looking wide eyed at the sweet snow (was it ice cream or shaved iced? Whatever, it’s whatever he wants it to be) machine that rested in front of him. Yusuke was too busy crying because now he wished he had not wasted his reward on homework.

Hùong Niu laughed. She enjoyed seeing those looks on their faces. Kurama on the other hand looked suspiciously at the cat toys and the sweet snow machine; he even looked at the flowers in his hands. He suspected something was wrong with all of this.

“Now that I’ve done nearly all that I’ve promised to deliver, I shall take my leave. Ta ta!” she exclaimed as she got into her Princess Peach pose before disappearing in a puff of pink smoke, Ardnas taking her place.
