Early, bright in the morning, Yusuke woke from his deep sleep. He thought, maybe I'll just skip school today, and then lay back down in his bed. He heard some knocking on his door and knew at once, it was Keiko. He quickly got up and dressed and grabbed some rolls and was off to school. Keiko told him all about the other night at school, Yusuke, as usual, was only half listening. His eyes wandered off on who he would beat up today. He saw someone that he'd never seen before enter the gates. It was a girl. He then decided, Yup! That's my target. As she walked closer, he saw that she wasn't any typical type of girl. Keiko then pulled him out of his world and said, "Hurry! We're going to be late!"
At that moment, the girl started running towards them. "HEY WAIT!" she yelled, "I'm new can you help me find my way to the principal's office?"
Keiko just smiled and nodded her head. She asked her for her name and it turns out that her name was Hinageshi. Yusuke couldn't stop himself. He just blurted out while Keiko was talking to her. "Hi-Hinageshi? The Hinageshi I worked with before? You're back?"
She and Keiko looked a bit startled. "Excuse me? I don't understand what you're talking about. If you please, we're going to be late," she said.
Yusuke still didn't believe her. She was in all his classes and he noticed a weird sort of feeling whenever he talked to her. She was very happy, much like Botan. She must be from the ReiKai! She must be, he thought. At lunch he felt that odd feeling again. Kuwabara sat down not noticing her. "Hey, Urameshi! Budge over a bit. I'm falling off the edge!"
"Excuse me, but I believe your arm is in my food. If you hadn't noticed, your arm is dripping with soy sauce. If you will, please remove your arm from my plate," Hinageshi said.
Kuwabara looked a bit startled. "Uh...sure! I'm very sorry that I got my arm got in your soy sauce. I just didn't notice that you were there. Sorry! School is a pain and you know concentrating is a bit hard..."
"For you it is," Yusuke interrupted, "By the way, don't you want to sit with your little group over there? Since when do you sit with us?"
Kuwabara didn't answer. He just started eating. After school Keiko had to do some student council work so she let Yusuke go home first. Kuwabara was probably beating up some street punks, he thought, oh well, I guess today I'll be nice. He headed home. He heard some clip clap, it sounded like someone running towards him. He turned around ready to attack and saw that it was Hinageshi. "Hi-Hinageshi! What're you doing here? I thought you went with Keiko to see if you could get a job at student council?" he said.
She shook her head. "They didn't have a job for me. So I left and went looking for you. I know where my house is but you've been nice to me and I feel that we could be good friends so that's why I'm walking with you." After that, she smiled.
Yusuke really never felt this weird. He was on his way to Kurama's house because they needed to discuss something. Well, that's what Kurama said. "Uh, sure, I guess you can come with me. I'm going over to a friend's house. His name is Kurama. He's very nice, I think you'll like him," Yusuke said.
They arrived in the rich part of the city and then at his doorstep. Kurama obviously sensed them there because right before Yusuke rang the doorbell, Kurama was there. His eyes were closed and said, "Welcome Yusuke, and I see that you have brought a friend. She is most welcome. Sorry that my eyes are closed, my mother is trying out this new type of medicine. It's supposed to keep my eyes alert," then whispered to Yusuke, ""If it damages my eyes nothing will happen. Don't worry."
They walked inside the house and into his room. It was a nice and very neat room. Something that Hinageshi wouldn't expect from a guy. He opened his eyes and Hinageshi's eyes suddenly opened. She thought, his eyes are beautiful. She suddenly fell into a dreamy state of emotions. She didn't even feel Kurama tapping her or asking Yusuke if she was okay. She was just in a different world. When she finally awoke, she was dripping with cold, icy water, from head to toe. She saw Kurama and Yusuke holding buckets of water on her side. "Maybe you should take her home," Kurama said, "I'll call you. I just thought that face to face was better."
Yusuke led her out the door and started walking back. Hinageshi stopped Yusuke and said, "Who is this Kurama? How did you get to know him? Why does his mother call him, Suichi? I have to know more about him. I think, I think, I may like him like no other. Please!"
Yusuke didn't know what to say. He liked Hinageshi very much, but to think that she liked one his best friends. It could not be true. Maybe I shouldn't have brought her with me, he thought. He sent her home and went back to his home. His mother was asleep as usual and he went onto his bed. Then he heard the loud, obnoxious knocking on the door. He opened it and there was Keiko. She was mad. "Where were you, Yusuke!? I was searching for you for hours! Your mother called to see where you were and I was forever looking! You should be more considerate! Well Atsuko was a bit drunk when she called...but still! Tell people where you are going! I hope you didn't pull Hinageshi into any trouble!"
