Chapter 10

Altar- I told you you’d hate me.

I’m a little disappointed though, I was expecting more than just three reviews for my lemon. * sulks in corner* Don’t worry, the real one’s coming up. I finally got the chapter for when Yusuke and Kuwa get together written. I just need to type it then I’m gonna do another lemon. Not sure where I’m gonna go after that.

Chapter 10

‘Damn!’ Yusuke thought getting out of bed. ‘That’s the third wet dream I’ve had this week! This is getting ridiculous.’

He stripped the sticky sheets off of his bed and put them in the laundry basket in the corner of his room. Yusuke stopped on his way to the bathroom to check on Kuwabara. He peeked through the doorway and was just barely able to see his friend in the dark.

He didn’t look as seductive as he had in the dream but he was still beautiful. His hair was loose and curly and his face peaceful. The sheets were pulled up to his chin but Yusuke could still make out the steady rise and fall of his chest.

He watched for a few minutes then continued on his trek to the bathroom. He cleaned himself up, changed his pants and went back to his room.

‘Damn. Out of clean sheets. Guess I’m doing laundry in the morning.’ He pulled out an old sleeping bag and crawled inside. ‘Kuwabara’s gonna start getting suspicious over all my dirty sheets if I don’t do something about these dreams. Hmm. Maybe I should ask Kurama. I’ll call him in the morning before I start the laundry.’

Yusuke’s eyes shot open in sudden remembrance. ‘Crap I still have to find a job!’ On the list of things he wanted to do, finding a job was way at the bottom. ‘Damn. What am I gonna do?’


The next morning after Kuwabara had left for class and while Yusuke was doing laundry he called Kurama. The fox agreed to meet him at a little café for lunch at one o’clock. Yusuke had the laundry done by eleven and got bored. ‘I’ll go for a walk. This place always seems so gloomy when it’s empty.’ “When Kuwa’s not around.” He said smiling to himself.

So he walked around in the park for an hour. At twelve he decided to just go ahead to the café and wait for Kurama.

When he got there he paid a dollar for a newspaper and began to look through the help wanted ads.

“babysitter, no”
“dogtrainer, no”
“office clerk, no”
“dishwasher, no”
“waiter…no”

“Hey! You lookin for a job?”

“Huh?” Yusuke looked up from is paper which was steadily growing more and more red x’s on it.

“I asked you if you were looking for a job.” Said a young woman. She long blonde hair reaching j7ust past her shoulders long wispy bangs and bright blue eyes. She was standing by the seat across from Yusuke and was grinning down at him.

She didn’t seem threatening, she had a friendly smile. But Yusuke wasn’t about to drop his guard. He’d had plenty of experience with seemingly harmless demons.

“Yeah. Why? Just who are you?”

The girl laughed and sat down. “oops. Sorry. I’m Celina.” She stuck out a hand with a gold bracelet on it and Yusuke shook it. “Yusuke.” He introduced himself. “You know of any jobs with good hours?”

“Oh year,” Celina laughed waving her had at him “If you don’t mind a little hard labor.”

“No.”

“The guy I work for owns a ton of farmland and fields. He grows all kinds of crops and stuff for different companies and does some construction too.”

“So he needs someone to help with construction and stuff?”

“It varies. See what he does is he goes through and see’s what all needs to be done. He makes a list of it and posts it on a bulletin board. You find something on that list to do, do it, and he’ll pay you for it.”

“What kinds of things?”

Celina looked up at the sky thinking. “ oh, let’s see…today he had…clean out the goats barn, spray the soy bean fields, work on the new barn, fix the roof, plow out the east field, you get the idea?”

“Yeah,” said Yusuke, “different odds and ends, are there any set hours you have to work?”

“For me there is, cause I’m the nanny and if you work inside. Outdoor workers it’s first come, first serve. Come in at any time; find a job still available, mark down that you’re the one working on it, and how long it took you. You get paid by what you did, how long it took you and how good a job you did.”

“What do you mean?”

“Like, if you go and fix a leaky roof and the roof still leaks the next day, he don’t care if you spent all day on that thing, you aint getting squat!”

Yusuke was smiling at this girl now. This sounded perfect! He could have a steady job, get paid by the hour and not have to worry about taking days off when he went on a mission or Kuwabara was in the hospital. He just showed up whenever he could.

“Do I need to fill out an application or anything?”

Celina shook her head. “Nope. He will want an interview though. He likes to know who he’s letting on his property. But Mr. Fashugi has been saying he needed some help, some of our regulars left and one got killed when he fell off the roof, so getting you an interview should be easy.”

Yusuke put his hands up in ‘time-out’. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Somebody got killed there?”

Celina nodded her head as if it were nothing. “Yeah. Farming and construction are two very dangerous jobs. You’re working with some pretty dangerous equipment that can cut your arm off, or run you over. Or you can fall.” She added, like an after thought.

“Oh great!” Yusuke said sarcastically “Do I get any kind of insurance?”

“Only for serious injuries you get while on the job.”

“Hmm.” Yusuke put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair. ‘It sounds all right. And I don’t mind a little danger and hard work. It can’t be anything as bad as Genkai’s training anyway.’

“Here.” Celina was writing something on a napkin. I’ll give you my boss’ number. His name is Mikel Fashugi, just tell him I told you about the job. He’ll set up an interview with you.” She handed him the napkin and gout up to leave. “I gotta go. “The kid’s get off from school in half an hour and I gotta go pick ‘em up. Maybe I’ll see you around sometime.”

“Yeah! Thanks Celina. Maybe I will see you there.”

“Great! Bye-bye.”

“Bye.” Yusuke sat back and chuckled to himself. ‘Alright!’ he thought ‘looks like I might finally get a job. Now I can help Kuwa with the rent and hospital bills.’

Yusuke felt a wave of sadness at the memory of Kuwabara’s condition. He’d been feeling much better sense the splenectomy, but Dr. Himura said he would still need to begin chemotherapy next week. Kuwabara was terrified his hair would start falling out. Yusuke had caught him a few times looking at different hats and ski caps, ‘just in case’ he had said.

“Yusuke?”

The said boy looked up from his thoughts at the red haired fox-demon.

“Hey Kurama! You made it!”

Kurama sat down across from him. “Did you think I wouldn’t?” he asked, grinning at him.

“Well, no…just…oh never mind! I wanted to ask you something.”

“Yes?”

Yusuke started fidgeting nervously and blushed. “Well,um,see…I’ve been having these dreams…about Kuwabara.” He looked up at Kurama , who just stared back at him.

“Go on.”

“Well, there…uh…wet…dreams?”

Kurama looked at him for a moment.

“uh-huh”

“What do you mean ‘Uh-huh’? Don’t you think that’s a bit of a problem?” Yusuke burst out in frustration.

Kurama chuckled. It’s not really that surprising Yusuke. You’ve been in love with the man for years now. What I am surprised about is that you’re just now having these dreams.”

Kurama gave him a sly smirk. Yusuke scowled. “Oh shut up, Red! So can you tell me just what the hell I should do about it ?”

“Tell Kuwabara.”

“What?!”

Not about the dreams of course, but you need to tell Kuwabara how you feel.”

Yusuke relaxed back into his chair “Oh, yeah, and just how am I supposed to do that? Just walk up to him and say’ hey buddy, how was your day and by the way, I’m in love with you?! Sorry Kurama but I don’t wanna freak the guy out.”

Kurama sighed at his friends’ sarcasm. “Why don’t you try taking him out on a date first?”

“A date? Are you kidding me?”

“No. Just go out together tonight and have fun. Go out to the movies or a party or hell, take him bowling if you want but do it. See how it goes and then when the conversation goes in the right direction tell him how you feel. You might be surprised with his reaction.”

“He’ll think I’m a sick freak and kick me out.”

Kurama smiled and laughed “I doubt that Yusuke.”


If you’re wondering about the job that Yusuke’s getting, my brother-in-law used to have a job just like it. And yes, farming is a very dangerous job. It’s actually one of THE most dangerous jobs out there. I had a cousin who was out farming on his tractor when his arm got caught in the drill and he fell off the tractor and got run over. Yeah, he died.
