catch up with the short spiky haired demon.
After leaving Koenma’s office, Hiei looked as if he might skin someone alive,
then boil his skin and let him watch as it melts and bubbles in front of his
very own eyes. Worried about Hiei,
Kurama decided to follow him, but it was difficult as Hiei kept trying to lose
Kurama. Kurama was concerned with the
fact that Hiei had never been as upset as he was now, not even after the time
Koenma made him sing.
“Kurama.
Why are you following me?” Hiei
stopped, leaning against the trunk of the tree as he stood atop one of its
branches.
“I just want to talk,” Kurama motioned Hiei to come
down on solid ground.
Hiei jumped from the tree to the ground.
“How do you feel about this mission?”
“So direct, Kurama. A mission is a mission.
Why should this one be any different?”
“You’re avoiding my question.”
“Maybe I don’t want to answer it.”
“Maybe I already know what’s bothering you, but I
just want to hear you admit it Hiei,” Kurama took a step closer to Hiei and
looked directly into his eyes. “Say
it.”
“Have you ever been to Shikosume’s Castle?
visit that place ever again.”
“You are still avoiding my question.”
chest.
“Ok. I’m
not quite confident of my abilities and my self-control once I am inside the
castle. Besides, I won’t have my
partner there to watch my back.”
“In other words, you are afraid, and you won’t have
me guarding your back.”
Hiei looked away stubbornly, unwilling to face
someone who knows him this well. “Hmp…
I’m leaving.”
Hiei took one last look at Kurama and leaped away,
too fast for anyone to see. Kurama
sighed and decided to head back to his own house.
“Quickly, Uremeshi! Go, go, go,” Kuwabara shoved the boy in front of him, hurrying
him along.
“Hush, not so loud. Someone might hear us!
I’m going as fast as I can,” Yusuke ducked to crawl on his hands and
knees. “Damn it, this hole has to be
this small. I don’t think you can climb
through here, Kuwabara. Just stay where
you are and keep a lookout for me will ya?”
“Ok, but if you get caught, I was just passing by.”
“This was your idea Kuwabara!
“But I only thought of this to help you!” Kuwabara
screamed aloud.
“Shh! Be quiet.”
“Ok,” Kuwabara whispered.
Yusuke hurriedly went through the hole and ended up
in a beautiful garden. Roses and tulips
and lilies and well, just a countless number of plants crowded the garden.
downright scary. “Shit, I think that
one can bite my head off,” Yusuke mumbled to himself, looking at a particularly
nasty plant, with spikes and thorns.
“Ah-ha!
Found them,” Yusuke smiled as he saw the perfectly grown roses, long
stemmed and fully bloom into a bright red color. Careful not to damage any other plants by accidentally stepping
on them, Yusuke managed to pick half a dozen roses up.
wounds on his hands.
“Yusuke! Yusuke!
He’s coming. Hurry up.
Kuwabara shouted from the other side of the fence.
Yusuke immediately ran back to the hole and handed
the roses to Kuwabara first, keeping them away from damage as he crawled
through the hole, back to the other side.
Both running, they managed to arrive at Yusuke’s house without being caught.
“Give me the roses,” Yusuke snatched them away from
Kuwabara. He brought them on top of the
kitchen sink and took a scissor to cut them all in the same length.
make it look presentable.”
“Here,” as Kuwabara handed Yusuke the wrap and
ribbon. “We almost didn’t make it out
in time.”
“Yeah, I bet Kurama would be mad if he knew we were
stealing from his garden, but since he doesn’t know, it’s all the better for
us.” Yusuke hummed a song as he made
the flowers into a decent bundle.
“But won’t he notice your footprints?
through there.”
“Fuck! I
didn’t think of that. O no, I better
change shoes.” Yusuke ran into his room
as he left he flowers in the sink, forgotten for the moment.
came out of his room, wearing new shoes.
“Why are you changing shoes anyways?
“Well no one asked you now did they?
later, like o, say in about an hour.
Meanwhile, I have to get these to Keiko. It is her birthday today.
Ha, she’ll loves these babies,” Yusuke grinned as he held up the roses
for inspection.
“Why’d you invite him over if you were going to
steal from the guy today? It’s bad
enough you forgot to buy Keiko a present, but now you’ve committed thievery and
are you just going to wave those roses in front of Kurama’s face?”
“Of course not.
I’ll run over to Keiko’s place and drop them off, then run back here to
wait for Kurama.”
“Why is he coming over again Yusuke?”
“O, ya. I
need help on my homework, but aside from that, I think you should be getting
ready for your mission,” Yusuke shoved Kuwabara out of his house as he started
to run to Keiko’s house.
*At Keiko’s House*
“Oh!
Yusuke, I love them. How’d you
manage to find the money to buy these?
They must’ve been expensive, long stemmed and all.
correctly. Thank you Yusuke.”
brought her. She gave the boy a tight
hug and proceeded to put the flowers in a vase.
“Hehe,” Yusuke scratched his head, “Glad you like
them, but I got to go now. Study and
all, so see you later Keiko! Happy
Birthday!” Yusran ran out the door
before Keiko could ask him to stay longer.
‘I hate it when she hugs me.
Well, Uremeshi, at least she didn’t attempt to kiss you like last time’
Yusuke shivered as he pictured the kiss again.
Her eyes stared into his, in a loving attentive
way. Long lashes and an oval face kept
getting closer and closer to Yusuke as he backed away, and into a wall.
to the side, but Keiko just didn’t get the hint. She pushed forward and pressed her lips to Yusuke’s own,
expecting him to respond. Instead,
Yusuke gently pushed her away and set his face into a grimace.
turned away, unable to face the one person she loves. Tears slid down the creamed colored cheek as she mumbled
something about going home and ran off into the night.
It’s not that Yusuke didn’t like Keiko, but he saw
her as more of a sister than a girlfriend.
Of course, the girl was cute and spirited, but no matter how much Yusuke
tried, he just couldn’t seem to like her that way. Yusuke knew Keiko and him were seen as a perfect couple, but what
others didn’t know was that they were not a couple at all.
Staring intently at the ground, Yusuke was deep in
thought as he bumped into someone.
Startled as books and papers flew everywhere, he bent down to pick them
up. Yusuke mumbled a sorry as he heard
a soft chuckle.
“Yusuke.
Something on your mind?” Flaming
red hair, delicately draped around a heart-shaped face that gave a feminine
look to the boy, and eyes, as green and sparkling as an emerald, twinkled
teasingly. Soft lips lightly splashed
with a coral red glow opened and closed as he spoke. Yusuke couldn’t help but gawk at the beautiful person in front of
him.
Kurama tilted his head in confusion as he repeated Yusuke’s
name again, wondering why the shorter boy in front of him was just standing
there like an idiot. Yusuke’s mouth
formed into an “O” as he handed the books back to Kurama, and then looked down
shyly as he realized that he was staring at his teammate.
Recovering quickly, Yusuke greeted his friend.
Funny meeting you here, I thought we were going to meet at my
house.”
“We were, but I was waiting for you in front of your
steps, and I saw you walk right pass your house. See?” Kurama pointed to
the righyouryour house is right there and you’re here.
pretty preoccupied.”
Yusuke could feel himself growing red at his
embarrassment. “Oh.

“Ahh! Enough of this. I gotta go take a break before my brain explodes.”
explained formulas and functions and cell biology. ‘Goddamn, how can he know so much?spanspan>This is killing my head.’
“But Yusuke, we’ve only been studying for half an
hour. Don’t tell me you can’t keep
up.” Kurama smiled seductively as he
handed Yusuke some problems to solve.
Yusuke snatched them grudgingly, almost growling in
frustration. “No we’ve been studying
for one whole hour. I think I deserve a
break. Too much thinking.”
“No, we’ve been in your house for an hour.
and then we started studying.”
“Aww… Kurama… but I was hungry!” Yusuke pouted
unconsciously.
‘Damn, he looks so cute when he does that’ Kurama
couldn’t help but be attracted to the boy.
His carelessness, his reckless attitude, and the way he smiles and
laughs, it’s all so different from Kurama himself. Yusuke’s like a fresh beginning, sweeping away Kurama’s pain in
the past and replacing it with laughter and hope.
‘But he sure hates to study’ Kurama frowned as
Yusuke slowly tried to creep away unnoticed.
“Yusuke.
Yusuke froze and turned around to face the scowling
redhead. “Bathroom?”
“No. Youked ked me to help you study and I came all the way here.
Yusuke mumbled something about school being stupid
and returned to studying, albeit reluctantly.
“Now can you remember that?”
Yusuke’s eyes were glued to Kurama’s face the whole
time he spoke, but managed to not hear a single thing coming from his tutor’s
lips.
“Yusuke.”
“Uh…yes?”
Apparently, Yusuke was still mesmerized by Kurama.
moist?’
Kurama laughed.
He had thought Yusuke wasn’t interested in him, but it appears that he
was wrong.
‘Shit did I say that out loud?’
“I’ll tell you that secret when you pass my test,
Yusuke.” Kurama gave Yusuke another
seductive smile and winked.
“What test?”
‘Did he just wink at me?’ Yusuke
thought.
“The one I’m writing up for you.
you with school.”
Kurama gave Yusuke the test and after twenty
minutes of scribbling and erasing, Yusuke handed it bac Kur Kurama for
inspection. “Um hmm… Let’s see.
good answer. Overall, I’ll give you a
76%. Well, I guess you passed.”
“Thanks.
Now time for a break!” Yu

looked like a child with too much candy, Kurama decided.
“It’s getting late. I better go soon.
Besides, the mission officially starts tomorrow and I think we all want
to be well rested.” Kurama began to
pack his books.
“Wait. Not
so fast pretty boy, I’ve got something for you. You can say it’s a little thank you present for helping me study
and Not giving me the chance to run away from it.” Yusuke pulled out a red box from under his bed.
presented his gift to Kurama. “Open it
now. It’s food.”
“Haha you’re not supposed to tell me.”
“Yea, but I want some too.”
Kurama quickly tore away the wrapping and opened
the box. Sweet and delicious chatesates
made Kurama’s eyes bulge. ‘How did he
know that I like chocolates? Hope he
doesn’t expect me to eat too much of these.
They’re like an aphrodisiac to me.’
“Go on, eat one.
They’re real good.

I loved them, so I thought they would make the perfect gift.
chocolates. He picked one up himself
and fed it to his friend.
“Mmm…They are good.” Kurama’s eyes closed as the sweet and bitter taste glided down
his throat. “These are totally
indulgent.” Kurama picked one up and
placed it in front of Yusuke’s lips.
“Open up.” Yusuke obeyed.
Soon they were feeding each other chocolates.

Yusuke right now will be a mistake. But

“Yusuke, wanna know why my lips are so red and st?”st?” Kurama smiled lustfully.
“Um hmm…” Yusuke nodded as Kurama drew closer to
him.
Soon the red haired boy was close enough to
touch. Yusuke could feel the other’s

their lips brushed.
It was a chaste kiss, until Kurama darted his
tongue across Yusuke’s lips, tasting and testing him. Yusuke opened his mouth to tease Kurama.
to put his arms around the smaller boy and crushed their lips together in an
intense and bruising kiss. Yusuke gave
a shameless moan as Kurama’s tongue swirled inside that warm mouth, sampling
and savoring the boy’s taste. Yusuke
fell into Kurama’s arms like jelly and they both continued to explore each
other’s mouths with abandon.
So what’d you
think? =)
