CHAPTER ONE:

A Hairy Situation

Beepbeepbeep…beepbeepbeep…beepbeepbeep…BEEPBEEPBEEP!BEEPBEEPBEEP!BEEPBEEP-dead silence….Keiko Yukimura stared groggily at the clock…9:32…it's too early..........wait a minute...

"9:32?!?!?! I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET THE CHARITY CLUB AT 9:00!!!!!" In a flash of fuzzy purple pajamas and messy brown hair, she ran into the bathroom and came right back out again in a jean skirt, a pair of white tennis-shoes, a white tank top and an unzipped sweatshirt. Grabbing her duffle-bag on the way out of her room, Keiko flew down the stairs and skidded through the small ramen shop that her parents owned. On the way out she managed to snag a piece of toast from her father's plate as she kissed him on the cheek good-bye.

BANG BANG BANG "Yusuke! Wake up! You're late for that thingy you have to do to make up for missing so much school!!!" Yusuke pulled his pillow over his head, only to have it ripped off by his mother. His mother who stood above him, glaring. She then began to tear up, her lower lip trembling slightly. "Y-Yusuke! I want you to have a better life! And for that to happen you need to finish high school!" Yusuke stared for a moment, then sighed and clambered out of his bed.

"Ok ok…I'm going, just-" his mother then began to sift through the mess that was his room, she began to pick up a dirty magazine (unbeknownst to her, of course). Yusuke jumped up and shoved her out of his room. "I'm up, now, GET OUT!!" He leaned against the door as he shut it. Geeze what a pain…He proceeded to get dressed, sloppily, in a black t-shirt, jeans and a leather jacket. Yusuke walked out the door and slowly trudged toward the park, maybe if he was late enough, he wouldn't be allowed to do the stupid charity thing. SLAP.

He felt a large hand slam down on his back, Yusuke turned slowly to see the idiot Kuwabara grinning back at him. "Heh heh. Get roped into the charity thing too, huh Urameshi?"

Yusuke nodded, "Yea" they both started walking toward the park again, "Hey do you know what exactly we're supposed to do there? I mean if it's walking little old grannies across the street (insert mental image of Yusuke wearing a Boy Scout uniform walking Genkai in an old biddy outfit across the street) I think this is going to be a bigger pain in the ass than I first thought"

Kuwabara shoved his hands into his pockets, "Nah, no one's told me anythi-" SPLAT. He tripped and fell over a step he didn't know was there.

Yusuke grinned, "Smooth move ex-lax". Kuwabara glared at him and got up.

"Shut it Urameshi" he said while brushing himself off. Yusuke mentally groaned as they approached a group of people under a banner with the words 'CHARITY CLUB MEETING" written across it.

Keiko ran down the street as fast as her legs would carry her. Nearly running over her friend, the old man who ran the coffee shop. "Yukimura-san! Why the rush?" He called after her.

"I'm sorry but I'm late for something!!" she yelled as she hopped over a young boy who was playing marbles. Catching sight of her best friend Yukina she grabbed her arm as she ran buy, dragging the poor girl.

Yukina finally caught up and started running beside Keiko. "Keiko! I thought I would have to leave without you! What took you so long?" Yukina questioned innocently.

"Sorry Yukina-chan, I slept in!" Keiko huffed as they rounded a corner and entered the park.

Yusuke and Kuwabara begrudgingly stood in the group of preppy do-gooders, after speaking to the group leader about why they were there. "Ooohh…ppprrrreeeettttyyy…." Yusuke glanced up at Kuwabara, who was practically floating and Yusuke could almost SEE the hearts in his eyes. Yusuke followed his line of vision, finding two girls, a very small one with light green hair tide back with a red hair tie; and another girl with mahogany-brown hair and was only about an inch taller than the other girl. He sighed, Kuwabara was a sucker for a cute girl, and here were two of them. He realized Kuwabara had begun to walk toward them and grabbed the idiot by the tail end of his shirt and dragged him in the other direction. Yusuke turned his attention to the leader who was now speaking into a microphone.

"Everyone settle down. Now this is the biggest charity event we've EVER done!-insert clapping- Now, this is a two week long expedition and…" Yusuke stops dragging Kuwabara and spaced out. What the hell?! TWO WEEKS?!?!?! "Now", the leader continued, "I'll place you into groups and…" Yusuke spaced out…again. CRAP!! This means I'm gonna get stuck with a bunch of flower-pickin'-tree-huggers!! "Team seven will include, Urameshi Yusuke, Yukimura Keiko, Kuwabara Kazuma, and Jaganshi Yukina"

Keiko and Yukina waded through the group of people, heading for center stage. They stopped short to listen the group listings. "Team seven will include, Urameshi Yusuke, Yukimura Keiko, Kuwabara Kazuma, and Jaganshi Yukina" Both girls breathed a silent sigh of relief, happy that they were in the same team. Keiko searched for the team 7 flag, but to no avail.

Keiko sighed "Yukina, do you see the flag anywhere?" Yukina didn't answer. Keiko turned around to look at Yukina, and then caught sight of what had kept her quiet. Over in the distance, two mangy, angry looking boys, about their age, were stomping on the team 7 flag. One of them had bright orange hair, was very tall, and very ugly. The other, Keiko noticed, was very handsome, had his dark hair slicked back and was about a head shorter than the ugly one. "Oh JOY" Keiko moaned, "they must be Urameshi and Kuwabara"

Yukina knitted her brow and walked behind Keiko as they went over to the boys. "Keiko" Yukina started "Do you think it's safe to spend two WHOLE weeks with them? Maybe we should ask for different team members?" Yukina asked, worried for their health…but more for Keiko's. Knowing her as well as Yukina did, she could see right off that Keiko was in for a long, hard battle with those two.

"MAN, this is gonna suck" Yusuke sighed, tucking his hands behind his head.

"Yeah…hey there's the team 7 flag" Kuwabara said. Yusuke grinned wickedly. He trotted over to it and ripped it out of the ground, being the childish little turds they are, they both began to stomp on it. That is, as Yusuke noticed, until a very pretty lady wearing a jean skirt and a white tank stalked over to them and huffily told them to knock it off.

They paused; "Make me" Yusuke smirked. Heh, I'd like to see the skinny lil' thing try… And then she did, Keiko promptly snatched the flag out of his hand and she and Yukina began to assess the damage.

She turned around "I take it you two are Urameshi and Kuwabara?" Kuwabara nodded, Yusuke was too busy staring at Keiko's chest. "I'm Keiko and this is Yukina" She said as she tossed the battered and broken flag into a trash bin. Keiko huh? I think this is gonna be more fun than I first thought Yusuke thought as he eyed Keiko's pretty legs and the way her hips swayed when she walked away.

CLICK "HEY WAIT!" Yusuke said as he jogged up to them, "Aw don't be like that sweets" Yusuke said as Keiko sped up, trying to keep her distance from him.

"DON'T call me sweets" Keiko hissed over her shoulder. Yusuke grinned cockily; it was going to be VERY fun to get under her skin for the next two weeks. Moments later they arrived at a small hut surrounded by little kids playing in sand boxes, swinging on swings and the like. Yusuke watched as people from the club go up and each pick a kid. His group had yet to pick one.

He tapped Keiko on the shoulder, "Soo…what're we here for, sweets?" He added his little nick name for her just to piss her off.

"We're doing a sort of babysitting field trip kinda thing. Each group gets a child to watch over and be a family with for the next two weeks" Keiko continued with a hint of sadness in her voice, but as Yusuke watched her talk and caught her eyes, he could tell the situation just about made her cry. "The children are from a local orphanage. They were either abandoned or taken from abusive parents." She blinked a couple of times and looked toward the group of kids. "The only problem is, which one do we pick?"

Yusuke turned his attention to the kids as well, spotting a little boy with dark hair and black eyes; he wore overalls and a blue t-shirt. The boy swung silently as his soulful black eyes looked on wistfully as the other kids got picked. Keiko walked past him and timidly began to talk to the little boy, and before he knew it, Yusuke had followed Keiko and was standing next to her. "Would you like to come with us? We'll have lots of fun I promise!" Keiko said cheerfully, hoping she was scaring the poor kid.

"Yea and don't worry about dufus over there, he's pretty harmless." Yusuke piped up, pointing over his shoulder at Kuwabara. Keiko looked at him, and quirked one of her dainty brown eyebrows. She looked back at Kuwabara as he flexed his arms for Yukina. She looked back at the two raven haired boys when she heard a small giggle and turned to see Yusuke making the most ridiculous face she had ever seen. She just HAD to laugh at him. She started to warm to Yusuke, he seemed to be kinder on the inside, at least, a little…maybe. Then the little boy hopped of the swing and took hold of Keiko's outstretched hand. The three of them walked back to Yukina and Kuwabara, who had been joined by an elderly woman with grayish pink hair.

(ooooh can anyone guess who THAT'S gonna be? )

She was about the same height as the little boy. Yusuke and Kuwabara all but died laughing as the kid stood next to her. "AHAHAHHAHAA!! Oh MAN that's rich!" Yusuke said as he whipped a tear of mirth from his eye. The old woman promptly kicked him HARD in the left kneecap.

"My name is Genkai. I will be your chaperone" She walked over to the boy, now identified as Rin. (No relation to Rinku I just suck at making up names ; ) "Alright then, lets get moving, we'll be staying in the seventh house once we get off the bus." They nodded, Yusuke just grumbled and followed along. As they waited in line to get on the bus to take them to God knows where, the six of them talked a bit. Genkai started "I want you in groups of two, I'll sit with Rin, the rest of you divvy up" Kuwabara 'claimed' Yukina as his seat partner. Keiko blew an unruly lock of her chestnut hair out of her eyes in annoyance.

Yusuke picked up her bag and slung it over his shoulder. "Looks like we're seat partners huh, sweets?" She shot him a glare. Oooh if looks could kill, Yusuke mused in his head. Keiko was the first to get on the bus, Yusuke grinned devilishly as her skirt rode up just a little bit, showing him a little more of her cream colored skin. After tossing her bag under their seats, he slid into the seat next to her slinging his arm around her thin shoulders. She swatted at his arm.

He feigned serious injury, "HEY THAT HURT" it only made one of the chaperones come over to check on him and to scold Keiko for being so violent in front of children. She glared daggers at him.

Hours later Keiko was listening to her CD player and staring out the window. She'd known the trip would be long, but she didn't realize it would take over half a day. Yusuke had tried to talk to her once or twice but she absolutely refused. She did NOT want to talk to that jerk. As Keiko got more and more into her own thoughts she nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt a weight suddenly press onto her shoulder.

She turned her head to see Yusuke dozing pleasantly on her shoulder. Keiko felt the heat rise in her cheeks. She almost died when his head slipped from her shoulder to her lap. She was positive that she was bright red at the moment. She tried to wake him up but it was useless, the boy slept like he was in a coma. Damnit he's like a LOG. She opened the window, hoping the cool air would take the blush from her cheeks. Keiko rested her hand in her lap, next to Yusuke's head. She looked down at him, he's actually kinda cute when he sleeps… A small breeze gently flew by, causing some of Yusuke's hair to gently touch Keiko's hand. Surprised by how soft it was, she started to play with his hair. Feeling bolder she ran a hand through the dark locks.

Yusuke sat, very bored, next to Keiko for three and a half hours. It was driving him nuts, so he decided to have a little fun. He closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep. A few minutes passed and he let himself lean on her shoulder. Taking notice that she didn't just push him off he decided to go a little further. Slipping down and landing softly in her lap. He heard her squeak softly before poking him a few times and whispering his name.

The whisper of his name from her pretty little mouth sounded oh so sexy to him and sent a little bolt of electricity down his spine.Finally she gave up and resigned to have his head rest on her lap. Yusuke was actually very comfortable there. He felt her shift slightly to open the window. The cool breeze played lightly with his hair; and he all but turned to mush as he felt her start to play with it. Oh man…this girl… his brain almost malfunctioned when Keiko slid her hand through his hair. Holy hell…He loved it when girls played with his hair, but this was something else, her fingers twirled sensually, winding his hair around her fingers then releasing it and smoothing it back only to start again.

He had to stop her, before he lost it and jumped up and kissed her. Yusuke reached up and gently took hold of her hand. He sat up and smoothed his hair back. Never letting go of her hand he looked at her and couldn't help but smile at her adorable blush.

Keiko had been playing with his hair for about ten minutes. She looked at his face, tracing his jaw line down to his throat with her eyes. She almost had a heart attack when his hand came up to grasp hers. She watched him as he slowly straitened into a sitting position and smoothed his hair. She blushingly noticed that he was still holding her hand and when she looked back up at him his eyes were dark. Was he awake the whole time? Why does he keep staring at me with those eyes…those smokey eyes… She stared back at him. His eyes were almost frightening. He leaned in close to her, which didn't help her little blushing situation AT ALL. Wh-what's he doing!?

When his nose was about a centimeter from hers, and his breath was tickling her face, he whispered, "Just can't keep your hands off me, can you?" She could have died from the embarrassment she felt.

She was about to say something when they heard Genkai from the front of the bus, "We're here" She said. Yusuke finally let go of her hand to reach down and grab Keiko's bag and hand it to her. She mumbled a faint 'thanks' and walked toward the front of the bus to pat Rin on the head and take his hand. Yusuke stared after her, grinning like an idiot.
