He finally woke up, feeling the same warmth he had felt when he dozed off. He even heard a bird twitter, which was odd, as he didn’t remember ever being able to hear birds with the air conditioner on high. He opened an eye and noticed....he was...outside?
Yusuke shot up, looking around. He was asleep at the edge of a meadow, birds twittering above him and some scattered woods behind him. " What in the....?!"
He stood up, glancing around. He didn’t remember any place looking like this. A rustle in a nearby bush alerted him, " Who’s there?! Show yourself!"
The rustling got louder until a large creature skipped over the branch and landed with a trip, rolling over from the force. Yusuke ran over to it, " Hey, you alright......Hiei?!"
The creature peered up at him. It sure looked like Hiei! Almost anyway. It had that spikey black hair, even the white starburst. Had his features and his eyes. Yet, these were not the clothes Yusuke would ever see on the little yokai. Never white tennis shoes and certainly never ever a pink double-breats suit with a magenta vest and white buttons down neatly pressed. The pink pants also neatly pressed. On his hands were clean white gloves, and on his vest was a gold chain with a pocket watch neatly clipped conventiently, thought rather large. It almost covered his chest.
Yusuke yanked the headband from the creature. Yep, even had the Jagan. " Hiei?"
" No!" The Hiei-looking creature replied gruffly.
" Then....."
" I’m the White Rabbit, Baka!" It snapped at him. It gave gentle tugs to the long white rabbit ears on his head. Yusuke’s eyes bugged out, " White Rabbit? Hiei, are you alright?"
" Kisama!" The Hiei Rabbit hissed, " I’m the White Rabbit! Now, let me go! I’m late!"
" Late?" Yusuke asked, still trying to get a grip on this. If he weren’t so confused and worried, he would have had a merry laugh at the sight of Hiei as a cute rabbit.
" Yes, Baka! Late!" The Hiei Rabbit spat, giving Yusuke a slap upside the head, " I’m dreadfully late!" And with that, he shot up to his feet and took off.
" This seems so familiar," Yusuke remarked, rubbing his head. He stood up and glanced after Hiei. Rabbit or not, he probably knew where he was going, and it was better than standing here. " Hiei...er....White Rabbit! Wait!"
Without skipping a beat, Yusuke ran after the creature in pink clothing. It was rather difficult. If there was one thing Hiei had in his favor, even as this rabbit form, it was speed. And he had gotten a good head start. Nevertheless, Yusuke took chase, not really sure if he was following him correctly. Yet, how could one miss a pink rabbit, right? It was too bad he looked only for the Hiei Rabbit and not where he was going, for he felt the ground give way to a hole. Letting out a loud gasp, down he went.
