Chapter 4: Cafe Chatter

Arya dashed through the halls in search of her friends as soon as class had ended. For almost the whole day she had been thinking of nothing, but Suichichi. It wasn't that she was in love with him, but it was because he was so much like her.

When she got to class, she told the teacher what happened and he excused her with a warning. She had been so grateful. During lunch, she sat on the roof with Yusuke and Kuwabara who started their own little food fight which consisted of mostly her and Kuwabara's food since Yusuke had none of his own. During the math lesson, she struggled to keep her mind on the lesson, but it was uninteresting to her.

Later, the principal came into the class and lectured the students about the importance of taking the high school entrance exams in the next two months and how study groups and tutors were available. Arya got laughed at by Yusuke's girlfriend, Keiko, who she met earlier at lunch when she asked what the exams were. Keiko explained to her that each student in their last year of junior high had to take an exam to be placed in the proper high school.

Arya only nodded and turned her attention back at the talker, but was really in her own little world. Finally the dismisal bell rang and everyone pilled out of the room. Arya managed to find her friends underneath a tree near the back of the school. They were talking to a girl with voilet eyes and blue hair. As she approached them, she stopped in her tracks when she say the look on their faces. They didn't look like themselves at all.

She quickly turned back around and waited patiently in front of the school. By the time they came into view, almost everyone had left.

"Hey cuz, somethin' came up and me and Urameshi have to go do something. Why don't you go ahead and head home? We'll make it up to you."

"What about Suichichi?"

Yusuke stepped next to Kuwabara.

"He'll understand."

With that, the two boys walked passed her and were gone. For a moment, Arya sensed that there was something wrong with them. They were both so cold and serious. A shiver ran down her spine as she headed toward the bus stop. During the whole bus ride, Arya stared out the window in a daze. Her intuition was telling her something wasn't right.

As she got off the bus and headed home. She tried to shrug off her worries.

'Maybe some punks from another junior high are causing trouble or something..'

"Arya!"

The voice snapped her out of her thoughts. Arya sighed and turned around. The frown of worry was replaced with a smile as Suichichi made his way toward her.

"Where were all of you? I missed you at the cafe."

Arya frowned slightly. "I'm sorry Suichichi. Something came up with Yusuke and Kuwabara, so they sent me home."

Kurama only gave her a warm smile.

"No trouble. How about just you and me sit and talk?"

Arya gave him another smile.

"Sure, why not?"

Kurama grabed her hand and led her to a cozzy little coffe shop a few blocks away. As they took a seat, a blonde haired waitress came over and handed them their menus. When she looked up from her menu, Arya snorted in disgust as she saw the waitress flirting with an uninterested Kurama. She was practically sitting in his lap. Determined to stop the scene and save her friend, Arya closed her menu and shoved it right underneath the blonde's nose.

"I'd like a coffe with some milk in it and a piece of pumpkin pie please."

Then she gave her a very false sweet smile as the blonde glared daggers at her. As she rudely stribbled her order down, Kurama gave Arya a smile of gratitude. When Kurama made his order, Arya rolled her eyes as she noted that the blonde caringly wrote it down. When she left, Kurama gave out a sigh of relief. Arya only laughed and was rewarded with a puzzled look.

"I bet girls act like that around you all the time when they first see you."

Kurama smiled and reached over and took her hand. That gestured cause Arya to blush beet red.

"All but one girl."

The way he said those words made Arya's whole body come alive. Her nerves in her hand were on fire as he withdrew his hand from hers. Arya knew that Suichichi Minamino wasn't your ordinary teenager. His angel like features and warm personallity were so uncommon.

As they waited for their orders, they talked about different experiences in their lives such as school, home, friends. Kurama was extremely interested when she told him that she was a second master at her family shrine. Just like she was interested in his musings about the uses of mixing different kinds of herbs.

When their orders arrived, the waitress just plopped hers on the table and laid Kurama's down delicately. Arya let out a low groan of annoyance when she sipped her cold coffe. Without saying a word Kurama took the cup of coffe from her hand and handed her his. Arya only looked at him shocked as he sipped his coffe.

Many laughs and waitress interuptions later, Arya and Kurama stood up to leave. To their surprise, it was already night out. Kurama walked Arya home, the whole time holding her hand securly in his. Arya didn't know why, but it felt right for him to be just holding her hand like that. They wished eachother good night and parted ways, but not before Kurama gave her his pager number.

"Call me whenever you feel the need to talk."

Arya gave him a hug and head upstairs.

'I think I'm going to like it here.'
