You and Me
"So tell me again why your going toe to toe with a Womanizer?"
Eri's voice chimed lightly through my cellphone as I pressed it close against my ear, I actually was going to tell her to be quiet, in case he heard us. But then again, I was asking myself that very same question.
"Seriously Kagome, first it was that Inuyasha who kept cheating on you, and now your going to run into an old friend that pretty much humiliated you in the past, that you can't even come to forgive to this very day!"
Well when she put it like that, I was starting to wonder if trouble actually did tend to follow me when it came to men.
"Hey Eri, I'm almost at his apartment, I'll call you later and let you know how it ends."
"Yeah, give me all the juicy detail Kagome! I'm rooting for you!"
Closing the cellphone, I turned around to face the door.
I fidgeted a bit, feeling suddenly like this was all going to be a really really..bad idea. I faced demons before, my life has always been in jeopardy. But at least I had a bow and arrow on hand. This time I was going to face this dilemma empty handed, and I'm sure the opposing force wouldn't like it at all if I just purified his ass.
Rumors are the worst to come across, because sometimes they are overly dramatic or take what truth is in them and twist it around until it seems unbelievable, but people think its true in the end. Its been 6 years now, and a rumor I've recently heard, has led me to one particular man that I thought I would never imagine seen again.
Tilting my head back slightly, the apartment door facing in my direction. I raised my hand hesitantly before lightly knocking on the door and stepped back. Secretly pleading to Kami in my mind that this rumor wasn't real, or at least that he wasn't home so I could just head back to work. The door cracks open for a moment, before swinging open completely and there was Kurama, without a shirt on.
His crimson hair which was usually shorter the last I saw him, grew past his shoulders just barely brushing his elbows in a tangled mess. As if he just got out of bed. My hands slowly opened and closed as I tried to talk to him. But what was I supposed to say? Hey Kurama, long time no see. Is it true that you became the Playboy on your campus? Yeah...that'll go over well.
Its just a stupid rumor.
We continued to stare down at eachother, not moving or making the motion of saying anything. Which was fine with me, since I didn't really know what to say just yet. But the silence was broken as we were brought back into reality as someone stumbles out in a rush, almost running right into us at full force.
"Sorry I had to use your bathroom Shuichi!" a young woman with long curly black hair stepped out with bright hazel eyes. She finally noticed me and suspicion took over. "Whose this?" she moved to regain her balance, pushing back her bangs, so she could see clearly this time. I must have looked shocked because he started to grin, a slow mocking one. As if to say, 'You already know what we've done.'
'Asshole, you certainly grew up didn't you.' Was what I wanted to say, but instead, I gave them both a perfect smile that I had perfected whenever Inuyasha would piss me off and I didn't want to let him in on knowing he did.
"Don't worry, his mom asked me to run an errand for her. So I only came here to bring him these books. Since I can't turn her down." I held the plastic bag up to back up my confession. The smile continued to stand firm, although I knew if he kept making me hold this bag up for him any longer, I was certainly going to toss it right at his perfect face.
Just take the damn bag and let me go.
His face certainly didn't change, nor did he say anything but reach out towards the bag. My chances of escaping were about to happen and I could run from this scene as soon as he grabs it. To hell I was going to bring up about that rumor.
"I'll have to leave right now so-" he touched my hand, the bag instantly falling to the ground with a loud clatter. "Dammit Kurama!"
"What's wrong? You were speaking in a way that didn't suit you at all. So I was just making sure it was really you or not." He said nonchalantly as he leaned back against the door frame. "Long time no see sis." He trailed off, slipping his hands into the low pockets of his faded denim jeans that hung oh so dangerously low at his hips.
But of us were friends when we were little and we always though of each other like a sister or brother. His greeting didn't exactly bring up the fondest of memories. But they certainly made me frozen on the spot.
"Kurama?" she looked at him, slightly confused. "Aren't you Shuichi?"
"Yeah, but Kurama is something she would always call me since we were young." He didn't seem to want to tell her the truth. That it was actually all his closest friends who knew who he really, is would call him that. I wonder if she even knew that she slept with a demon?
"Really? Guess she never liked your real name...that's so mean." she let her hand trail along his stomach, just tracing along the navel with a strong familiarity to them. The heat I felt rising from neck was not retreating. Nor was her hand as she played with the button of his jeans.
"Right? But I couldn't go against her, but sometimes she seems to be more of an oni then anything else." He chuckled.
'What! That's so mean of you to say that Kurama! I'm only like that when I get upset! Besides, you make me sound like I bullied you or something!' Well that's what I wanted to say, but instead I stayed quiet. Feeling the heat creep up along my cheeks, it didn't help that the girl leaned in and kissed him directly on the lips.
First she was openly groping him to show who he belonged to, now she was going to kiss him to put down the final mark of possession. Guess she didn't hear him when he said that we were nothing but friends with each other. And a good thing that she didn't hear me mutter something along the lines of, "Oh yes, like that would stop him bitch."
"Well I need to go, bye then Kurama." She whispered as she wrapped her finger around a stray lock of his crimson hair, tugging at the end of it playfully before resuming the kiss.
Allowing the lock of hair to retreat, I am still forced to watch this interaction happen before me. Why are you being like this Kurama? We used to follow each other around all the time when we were kids…
He stared directly at me, as the girl wrapped her arms around his bare neck, pressing herself closer against him. Why was he doing that? Don't look at me like that. Don't look at me like that!
I don't even know who this man is anymore!
The memory of the two of us as kids playing together in the park started to rise in my mind. Bringing back the sweetness of what things once were before what they became now.
Who is he…?
Author Note
I had to revise this, cause it just didn't sit well for me
The first chapter was short, because it was a test to see if I had what it takes to make a crossover of the two series Inuyasha and Yu Yu hakusho. I'm so rusty, haven't written a fanfic in such a long time! Tell me what you think! The more reviews I get, the faster I'll update.
The reviews you give me is the fuel for my creative mind to jump start into overdrive!
