Okay okay, I have finally brought up the second chapter in this love saga of YuYu Hakusho.

"Shizuru!"

Kuwabara's voice rang out as Sizuru shifted eyes around, finally meeting hers with her brothers.

"What is it?"

"I said I'm going out Yusuke to see Kurama. You wanna come?"

"Oh..no. That's okay. You go on ahead. I've got plans."

"Ok. See ya later, sis."

Kuwabara closed the white painted door behind him as he left his home. A car could be heard starting up, indicating he was leaving. Shizuru got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen just a few feet away. She grabbed a cup of coffee Kuwabara made before he left and too a sip. She put the cup on the tiled counter and sighed. I wish I had gone. Then I would see him again. She thought as she opened up the silverware drawer and pulled out one of her hidden packs of cigarettes. She took one and lit it, trying to calm down and get some things out of her mind. That's when the phone rang just as she had walked past it back to the living room. Letting out a slightly frustrated sigh, she took two steps back and snatched it off the hook.

"Hello? Oh, Botan. Yeah, I'm fine. Sure, you can. I could use the company."

…

The sounds of button smashing could be heard inside Genkai's Temple. Kurama was on the couch behind Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were busy playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the PS2. Wolverine could be seen slashing Ken Masters in an air combo that was reaching 10 hits on the screen.

"Man, Urameshi!' Kuwabara yelled, tilting the controller to the side as he pushed the buttons in a frantic pace, as if it was going to help him in his gaming. "All you do is air combos!"

"That's the whole point of this game! Duh!" Yusuke said with a smirk on his face.

"Don't worry, Urameshi. Mega Man is up next. I'll wipe the floor with you!"

"Ha! Keep dreaming, man."

Kurama shook his head a bit with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. He wondered if they came over to visit or just continue their rivalry on video games. He looked outside a window nearby. The sun was doing it best to hide behind a few clouds. A little breeze blew by as the trees, flowers and bushes danced along. Such a beautiful day and yet Yusuke and Kuwabara were busy playing games. Yusuke had just beat Kuwabara for a 5th time when he finally gave in.

"One of these days, Urameshi. I'm gonna take you down."

"Yeah yeah, right."

"Anyways, so Kurama, given any thought about what I said the other day? Ya know, getting a girl?"

Kurama scratched his left cheek a little bit, hesitant to answer.

"Well, not quite."

"Aw, come on, Kurama," Yusuke said, throwing his hands up in the air and soon crossing them over his chest as he leaned against the wall next to the couch. "Do you plan on staying alone forever?"

"We're just worried about ya, man," said Kuwabara. "Ya know, ever since I've known you, the only woman you've talked about is your mom. And after the whole Yukina thing, you've just been hanging out here all the time."

"Forgive me for worrying you two, but really, I'm fine."

"But still, Kurama, you need to get out and date." Kuwabara thought for a moment before looking over at Yusuke and then back to Kurama. "Have you EVER been on a date, Kurama?"

Kurama stayed silent. Yusuke and Kuwabara exchanged looks and soon let out loud sighs in unison. Yusuke bounced himself off the wall and grabbed Kurama off the couch.

"Okay, Kurama. It's time for you to go on a date!"

…

"Hello, Shizuru. I brought Keiko and Yukina. I hope that was alright," Botan said as she walked through the front doorway. Behind her, Yukina and Keiko both walked in as well. Shizuru closed the door behind them all as they settled into the living room.

"So what's going on, Shizuru?' Botan asked once everyone got settled down. Keiko pulled out a bag of snacks for them all.

"I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about." Shizuru said as she cracked open a beer can and took a sip. Keiko, Botan and Yukina began chatting it up, laughing and giggling over pretty much nothing. Little by little, Shizuru began to get frustrated. The female Kuwabara then shot up from the couch and threw her beer can clear across the room, banging it off the wall.

"HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE AND LAUGH LIKE THAT," screamed Shizuru. "WHILE KURAMA IS UP AT GENKAI'S STILL THINKING ABOUT HIS DECISION!?" Her anger was clearly directed towards the ice apparition, Yukina. The girls stopped instantly what they were saying and doing as they all looked up at the furious Shizuru. Yukina's eyes stared directly into Shizuru's until she finally drifted them off to the side and towards the floor.

"I know…and believe me, Shizuru, I wish it wasn't like this. But he did allow me to be with Hiei and we are both very happy. And that's what Kurama wanted. For us to be happy. He told me so himself."

Yukina spoke in an almost hushed tone as Keiko wrapped her arm around her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. Shizuru looked over at Keiko and then over to Yukina and soon stormed out of the house. The three girls looked at each other and Yukina decided to go outside to talk to her. Silently closing the door behind her, she saw Shizuru leaning on the banister with a cigarette in her right hand. Yukina quietly approached her and noticed tears in the female Kuwabara's eyes.

"Are you…mad at me, Shizuru?"

Shizuru looked over at her, tears streaming down her cheeks. She smiled lightly and shook her head.

"No…and I'm sorry I blew up like that. I was out of line. It's just that…I don't know."

She wiped her tears, trying to stop crying. Her cigarette had long since went out. Yukina leaned over and hugged Shizuru with Shizuru slowly returning the hug. Yukina stepped back a bit and looked at her in her eyes.

"Shizuru, forgive me for asking. Are you…in love with Kurama?"

To Be Continued…

Yes, another cliffhanger. Can't go wrong with them. Anyways, short, yes. I'm lazy and busy so yeah. But I'm going to enjoy unraveling what's going to happen next since even I don't know. But I will tell you this, I think it's about time for another confrontation. Kurama and Hiei!
