I don't own any thing related to Yu-Yu-Hakusho… OK!

"Kurama?" I asked as I slowly stepped into his room. As I slowly, yet silently opened his door, I saw little by little, the back of my boyfriend's red head and his body kneeling beside his bed. He didn't answer my question, so slipped in and leaned my back against the wall. He got like this sometimes, all quiet and wanting to be alone. It was a good thing that he actually liked me or he would have attacked me with that anger of being disturbed. Apart from me and his mother, he wasn't very truthful to them. Either it was because we could tell when he was lying, or he knew that he'd tell us sooner or later, so it might as well have been sooner. Today was different though, there was something definitely wrong.
As he slowly got up, I could tell something was bothering him. I stood up straight and walked towards his standing form. When I was a foot away from him, I dropped my school bag and hugged him. He didn't return my hug right away, but I sensed him taking his time and eventually, I felt his arms wrap around my waist. There we stood until he pulled away and looked into my eyes. Oh, those precious green eyes of his, that's what gave him away to me. I could read them so easily, but I never told him that. Those same eyes are also the thing the kept me close to him. I wanted those eyes for myself.
When we first met, it was I who ran into him. As I fell backwards and landed on the ground, my papers when everywhere. You see, I was late for school, running while trying to put on my bracelets and wasn't looking at where I was going. When I felt my butt hit the ground, I yelled out, "Watch where you're going you big goof!" like any other normal person. As I slowly looked up, I saw a hand in front of me and took it. "Maybe it's you who should be watching where you are going." the voice said. When I was up and facing him, "Don't get…" Then I saw them. His eyes.
"Don't get what?" He said with a smirk on his face. I could feel myself blushing and I wanted to tear my eyes from his, but I couldn't. "Umm… nothing." Was all I could get out before looked down and saw my homework everywhere on the ground. As I bent down to pick them up, I sensed him bending down as well and started to help. When that was all done, I stood up and he handed me his half of the papers he collected. "Thanks." I said as I looked into his eyes again, and again I could feel my cheeks get hot. "I'm Ninoka." I said while once again bowing my head from embarrassment.
"Kurama." He said. "And…" he took his hand and lifted my chin so I could look into his eyes again. That time, I knew I was going to pass out from over – blushing. "… you have the prettiest purple eyes I've ever seen." Did that big goof just compliment my eyes? "Th… Than… Thanks…" I said. I don't think I had ever blushed that much in my entire life. I didn't even remember the last time I blushed at all. Me looking into his eyes and him looking into mine was one of those moments I never wanted to end, but my papers started to slip from my arms, so I had to look down to rearrange them.
"So, where are you off to in a hurry?" Kurama asked. "Umm… school" I answered while looking at my watch. "OhmiGOD! I'm late!" I nearly screeched. "I'm sorry, but I have to run… again." He smiled at me this time. That smile definitely melted me. I forced myself to snap out of it and I started to run towards school again. "Bye Kurama!" I yelled behind me. As I got further and further away from him, I heard him yell, "See you after school Ninoka!" I guess he knew which school I went to by what I wore so I just kept on running until I reached my homeroom class.

As the last bell rang, I slowly walked out of my last class, down the stairs and out the front door. Again, Yusuke Urumeshi had gotten into a fight with Kuwabara and both of them got an hour and a half's worth of detention. I was looking down and had my eyes closed because I was so tired. I could usually sense every human walking by and so I dodged them all until I got out past the gate. "Hey Ninoka." I heard a familiar voice come from behind me. As I turned around, I knew exactly who it was. "Hey Kurama." I said, trying to avoid his eyes. As stood up straight and walked towards me. I closed my eyes and thought, "Not the eyes, not the eyes, not the eyes…"
I felt his hand on my chin again and made me look up, and out of pure instinct, my eyes snapped open. "Please, stop doing that, if I keep on looking into your eyes, I might pass out next time." I barely whispered. Again, that smile he did, "Ok, I'll stop. I was wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat." I just stood there, I had too much homework, but refusing an offer like that… "Ok." I said. There was a bit of shock in his eyes, as if he wasn't expecting me to agree, but he covered it up quickly with a look of relief.
As he slowly took my hand, I didn't pull it back, but allowed him to lead me to where he wanted to go. We ended up at "The Pizza Joint" and ended up splitting a medium cheese pizza. I didn't think I could talk to a guy like him, but words came easily from me and he listened. I was shocked that he actually listened and actually said something decent in return. After we paid for our food and left, we walked hand in hand towards my place in silence.
When we reached my door, I turned around. Again, he grabbed me with his eyes. "Thanks for…" Before I could even finish my sentence, I felt his lips on mine. My eyes were wide from the suddenness, but eventually they calmed, closed, and I kissed him back. That was it, we were officially together without either of us asking one or the other, and that was the end of our official date. As we broke the kiss, I looked into his eyes and didn't even blush. I smiled my first smile at him and it was his turn to blush. I turned around and unlocked my front door, and I realized I could finally sense him. As I opened it, I walked in and turned around just in time to see him turn the corner with his hands in his pockets.
As I snapped back to the present, I asked, "Kurama, what's wrong?"
