Chapter one

A bright blue sky overhead with not a cloud in site. Kurama walked to school with his brother Suichi. "Hey Kurama wait up," a voice yelled behind them. They stopped and waited for the other youth to catch up.

"Good morning Yusuke," Kurama said. Yusuke slipped and arm around each of the boy's shoulders.

"So how the hell do you always get up so early?" Yusuke asked using them for support.

"Simple we aren't up playing video games all night," Suichi said with a smirk. Yusuke looked down at the junior high student.

"True. You guys only read books." Yusuke said.

"Not true," Kurama retorted. "We do watch tv."

"Yeah the history channel." Yusuke said disgusted. "Do you think of anything but school?"

"Yes," Suichi replied. "Here's my stop." He slid out from under Yusuke's arm and ran to his friends. Yusuke and Kurama continued on.

"Damn is it nice to be in high school," Yusuke said glancing over his shoulder at the junior high.

"It wasn't so bad," Kurama said. "Do you plan on leaving your arm there?" Yusuke removed his arm. "Thank you for last night," Kurama said glancing sideways at Yusuke.

"No prob. Kuwabara went too far this time," Yusuke said with a shrug. "Plus I didn't want Hiei to find out."

"What does he have to do with anything?" Kurama asked a dangerous light in his eye.

"Aren't you two dating?" Yusuke asked confused.

"That cold little demon?" Kurama stated. "Of course not."

"Oh… ok." Was all Yusuke said in response. They walked the rest of the way to school in silence. When they arrived they said good-bye and went to their sepperate classes. 'Hiei is single…' Yusuke thought taking his seat. 'Wonder how.' Little did he know Hiei was also thinking about him.

'What did he do to help Kurama?' Hiei thought sitting in the tree just outside of Yusuke's vision but able to still see Yusuke. Hiei jumped out of the tree and left. Yusuke watched him walk away.
