"Hurp Hurp "
That sound. It was familiar to the red-haired boy who caused the very sound.
Day in and day out. Like clock work he made his way towards the bathroom
After every meal. He'll eat, vomit , exercise, eat more, vomit more, exercise more.
It was all routine to him. He had the undying need to be prefect. Like his grades,
Like his mother believed him to be, the perfect son, the perfect everything. Only
Thing that stood in his way was his appearance. Day in and day out his knees on the
Nasty bathroom floor, beautiful red-hair pulled back into a ponytail, his head completely
In the toilet "hurp hurp " It's amazing no one ever caught him. Amazing that whenever
He was close to being caught, he weaseled himself out. Excuse after excuse. All for the need
To be perfect.
Perfect, perfect, perfect
Those words swirled around his head as he vomited .
I need to be perfect. To be perfect one must be skinny.
I NEED TO BE PERFECT!
He stood up from the nasty floor, pulled on the toilet paper to wipe his mouth and the vomit
on the toilet seat. He walked out of the stall only to come face to face to a wide-eyed Urameshi
Yusuke. "Kurama buddy you okay?" Oh dear… What to say what to say…What excuse to use this time
Oh I've got it. "Of course Yusuke. I seem to have eaten something bad for lunch, take my word never
Get the sloppy joe." Kurama smiled and walked around Yusuke to the sink to wash his hands.
Yusuke laughed "I hear you! The last time I ate that I was sent to the hospital with food poisoning."
They walked out the bathroom , and walked the halls. As soon as Yusuke looked away the smile on Kurama's face faded. Yusuke saw it fade, but didn't say anything.
He never did.
He noticed that Kurama was not okay. He saw that Kurama's once pale flesh had slight
Yellow under shadowing , He noticed how his school uniform seem to hang off of him
Like extra flesh, he noticed Kurama's once vibrant green eyes, grow dull
With dark shadows under them. He noticed that his once thick luscious red hair,
Was now thin, brittle, and seemed to fall with the slightest touch.
Yusuke saw all the changes and yet did nothing. He worried of course.
His life was his family and friends.
"Yusuke!"
Yusuke snapped out of his thinking.
"Yo!" Kurama stared weirdly at the young delinquent.
"I've been calling your name for the past 10 seconds, is everything alright?"
No.
"Duh! Sorry just thinking of Keiko!"
Kurama smiled
"How cute, Feeling affectionate?"
Yusuke scowled
Kurama laughed and poked Yusuke
"I'll love to hang around, but I've been here to long"
Kurama looked at Yusuke seriously
"Yusuke if you keep cutting, you'll never get out of high school"
"Yeah, well with a girl like Keiko by my side, who needs schooling"
Kurama chuckles.
Ah! Yusuke how I long to be you. Without a worry in the world. Your so carefree.
You doesn't worry about being perfect. Than again, Yusuke had everything
Going for him at the moment. He has a great girl by his side. He has a great
Figure, must be from all the fighting, he may not be a good son, or
Have perfect grades, but he's still…so….so… oh I can't think of a word for
It at the moment.
His head was spinning. With one hand rubbing his temple, and the other on the locker
Holding him up to keep from falling.
"Yo! Kurama man you okay!?"
"Yes, Yusuke, just a dizzy spell."
Yusuke looked concern and put his hand on Kurama's back.
"Maybe you should go to the nurses office"
"No! No, I'll be fine" Kurama
Pushed off the locker and took 5 steps before darkness clouded his vision.
Yusuke ran to his kitsune friend. He quickly picked him up and carried him bridal style.
Why is he so goddamn light? Shouldn't he weigh more?
Questions swam around Yusuke's head. What has his friend been doing?
Could he…could he have some sort of disorder.
Damn! I shouldn't have cut health class last year!
Yusuke brought his red-headed friend to the nurses office.
Who quickly stood up as soon as she saw Yusuke walk in with him in hand.
"Urameshi Yusuke! What have you done to this young man?!"
Yusuke scowled. Many times Yusuke has brought in injured classmates.
Mostly caused by demons that caught everyone off guard.
Koenma the ass, erased everyone's memory and simply
Instructed Yusuke to take the blame.
The nurse check Kurama and seem concern.
Kurama came around after half an hour.
"Yusuke, what , where am I?"
Yusuke looked at Kurama, yet his eyes kept missing Kurama's
"You fainted Ku-Shuichi "
Kurama looked around. White walls, he grabbed the sheets.
Everything was white! Why was is it so bright?
It must be the hospital…he sits up.
"Your in the hospital bud!"
Crap! I'll never reach my goal! I bet he found out,
I bet he thinks I'm some kind of freak!
His eyes travel to his side. His eyes widen slightly, not
Enough for Yusuke to notice, but enough to show his surprise. What he found stuck in him was
A feeding tube! A Fucking Feeding Tube!
His hands itch to rip it out but he kept his urges down.
"Kurama man you sure nothings wrong with you?!"
He faked a smiled
"I'm fine, I must have caught some kind of stomach virus"
Yusuke shot Kurama a look of disbelief, but didn't say anything.
He never did, not after the whole Sensui thing.
He learned not everything could be solved by acting out.
"Well, bud feel better, okay!" he clapped Kurama on the back and left.
He knows! He knows, he knows, he knows! Could he know? Did the doctors say anything to him?
Tired, I'm tired…I need sleep…sleep…….per-fect!
He fell asleep
