Yusuke's Competitions Chapter 2, a yu yu hakusho fanfic

Yusuke's Competitions: Chapter 2: Being Legal (Competitor #1)

By TearStar

I do not own YuYu Hakusho…

Yusuke took everyone outside the mall and explained the 'matter'.

"Uhmm…well, you see… Me and Kurama are… you know… b-boyfriends."

"HUH?" –Kuwabara fainted.

"What?" –Yukina and Botan chorused.

"Yeah… Boyfriends."

"You mean, mates?" – Botan asked, squeezing Yusuke's cheeks.

"Y-Yes… Kurama, help!"

"Yes, Botan. Mates." –Kurama came to the rescue.

Botan released Yusuke's face and dashed beside Kurama, not minding that he stepped on the fainted Kuwabara's face.

"Really??? How long now?"-she further investigated.

"2 months."

"Oh hahahah!!! I'm happy for you two! Actually I'm digging for you two to be a yaoi couple!" –Botan continued to giggle and shake Kurama's hands.

Yusuke watched Botan's outraged of joy as he stroke his cheeks, they still hurt from the grim reaper's pinch.

"Yusuke?" –Yukina approached him. "Congratulations."

"Oh… T-Thanks."

Yusuke couldn't help but wonder on why the girls easily accepted the fact. He mind-linked to Kurama.

'Love, why did Botan and Yukina took it in easily?'

'Because man to man relationship in Demon world and Spirit world is fairly common… demons and spirits are bisexual, love.'

Kuwabara ignored Yusuke and Kurama as they walk home to the neighborhood; he is feeling different on the matter. Yusuke and Kurama constantly look at each other, telling each to walk up to Kuwabara and talk to him. Yusuke looked at Kuwabara and back to Kurama. Kurama returned the look and pointed Kuwabara with his head saying: you're the bestfriend, you talk to him. Yusuke blinked then nodded. He walked up to Kuwabara and began…

"Hey, come on!" –Yusuke tapped Kuwabara's shoulder.

"NO! I can't believe this! You're my bestfriend, and you… you"

"Really love Kurama."

"Yeah… that's not my problem."

"Then what?"

"The fact that you didn't tell me about you and Kurama being boyfriends… Is it because I don't matter? Like what you did when Genkai died back in the tournament?"

"No… it's just that… we were afraid you guys won't accept."

"Of course we will accept! You're our friends!"

"So?... we ok?"

"Yeh!... so, Kurama… have you… you know." –Kuwabara grinningly asked.

"???" –Kurama reacted as Kuwabara got closer and put an arm around his neck.

"You know… heehee… did Yusuke…" –Kuwabara whispered the rest.

Kurama, upon understanding what the carrot head is saying, blushed really hard. "No, Kuwabara!" he moved away from Kuwabara's arm.

"Heeheehee! I'll ask Yusuke!"

Yusuke accompanied Kurama home, and decided to stay a little bit. He sat around and watched Kurama changed clothes. The demon made sure it's only his torso Yusuke saw; he changed the rest of his clothes inside the bathroom; which didn't sit well with the detective. He admits, he wanted to see more of Kurama, other than his face and arms.

Kurama came out with a new set of clothes and with a question Yusuke couldn't quite answer…

"So, what did you learn in the past 2 weeks… academically and disciplinary…"

"Uh… disciplinary, attend classes and don't make your beautiful, oozingly sexy demon boyfriend named Kurama, mad."

"Beautiful and oozingly sexy, huh?"

"Oh! And hot."

"Enough of the pick up lines… how about academically?"

"Uhm…well-hey!"

Yusuke panicked as he saw Kurama raid his bag, particularly his notebook.

"Uh, Kurama…"

"Shhh…Oh my God…"

Yusuke scratched his head, Kurama was quite disappointed. The notebook is almost full, not of lesson notes, but of drawings and doodles; though some of them appealed to him as cute.

"Yusuke…"

"Can't help myself from drawing."

Kurama put down the notebook and approached his detective lover. He patted the detective's hair and held him by the cheek. He stroked the cheek with his thumb; Yusuke leaned into the caresses…

"I'll have a gift for you tomorrow." –Kurama announced.

"Mmmwhat's that?"

"Tomorrow, you'll know… Looks like you're stressed."

"Yeah… 2 weeks of hell. You know, I could probably take that as chicken, but without seeing and talking to you are too much!"

Kurama kissed Yusuke and led him to the bed.

"Hey… Kuramaahh…" –Yusuke exclaimed as he was laid on his stomach, and was rid of his shirt. "Hey, wait. We can't have our first night like this, it has to be romanti- ouch!"

Kurama spanked his butt. "You hentai! I'm giving you a massage."

Kurama began tracing his back for knots, and there are lots. He started to massage the stressed and strained muscles, working his way from the shoulder and down. Yusuke couldn't help but compare this to heaven; a damn good massage. Plus, it's 'the' Kurama who's doing it… too good to be true…

"Mmmm-I could fall asleep…"

"Go ahead… you could sleep over tonight."

Yusuke woke to the gentle strokes of Kurama to his head. He stirred, purred and stretched. Kurama smiled to him when his vision was clear and free of sleep.

"Kurama…"

"Good morning."

"G'morning...grr…" –Yusuke sat up and stretched a little more.

Kurama couldn't help but smile, Yusuke's hair is free of gel, so it's down, and his eyes are still kind of puffy and teary from sleep; he couldn't describe it, he loves it. Yusuke looked so cute and innocent.

"Watcha looking at?"

"…Nothing."

"Hmm… you just realized your boyfriend is so damn handsome and hot, huh?"

Kurama chuckled "Breakfast is ready."

"Oh! So you did realize! Why just now?"

"That's just when you're asleep." Kurama joked.

"Grr-mmm."

Yusuke purred and giggled onto Kurama when the demon hugged and led him towards the breakfast table.

Yusuke walked home, still lost in the happy feeling of sleeping over to Kurama's house and of their being legal to the gang.

"You seemed happy."

"Hmhmmm-huh? Oh, Hiei."

"Fairing well with the relationship with Kurama?"

"Very much. We just became legal to the gang."

Hiei just unwillingly shifted to the ruin-Yusuke's-day mood. "You think it's easy? Having a relationship with someone like Kurama?"

"What do you mean?" –Yusuke's tone became serious.

"Watch out. Your mate is too beautiful that you will always compete."

"Grr…Hiei!" –Yusuke prepared to punch Hiei but the koorime disappeared.

Yusuke bursted into his room, Hiei's words still in his mind.

"Hmph! Compete!"

He jumped onto the bed and continued fuming. He knows what the koorime is saying. Kurama is too good for anyone, that he would always have a rival to him. Then that feeling came again.

'Am I not good for Kurama? Don't I deserve him? What if Kurama finds someone better than me? What if he was successfully stolen from me? What if Kurama wanted to have a child, and us being both male, can't bear one, and decided to settle with a girl? What if he leaves me? What if he fell out of love to me? What if… what if…'

The thoughts just flooded his mind. He couldn't take it anymore, tears escaped his tightly shut eyes.

Kurama just answered his assignment wrong. Then he had an urge to call Yusuke. The phone rang for a good minute, then Yusuke picked up.

"Yusuke, I- are you crying?" –Kurama felt alarmed from the sniffing he hears from the other line.

"Kurama, don't leave me. Don't break up with me please!"

"What are you talking about? Yusuke?"

The sniffs turned into sobs, loud sobs.

"Yusuke, I'll be there.

Kurama practically flew to Yusuke house, the detective's crying alarmed him so much.

'Why? What's wrong?' he kept asking himself.

Moments later, he reached Urameshi's apartment unit. He bursts in Yusuke's room and found him on the floor, still holding on the phone, crying.

"Yusuke, my love."

Yusuke stood and dashed to him "Don't leave me!"

"I won't… why would I, Yusuke?"

"C-Coz you're beautiful… you're… wanted by everyone… they would steal you from me… I'm not as good as you… you might think of leaving me for someone better….you—"

"Sshhh…nonsense, Yusuke. I won't be stolen from you. There's no one better than you. I won't leave you, Yusuke. I love you."

The assurance sounded so good in Yusuke's ears. He fell more in-love with Kurama. It amazed him that one statement from the demon quickly took away all his worries. He embraced Kurama tighter…

"I love you, Kurama."

"I love you, too, Yusuke." –Kurama led both of them to Yusuke's bed.

They lay on their sides, facing each other. Kurama kissed Yusuke's swollen eyes, and then Yusuke's cheeks. The detective just holds him on the waist and avidly watched him comfort him. Kurama then, slowly closed the distance of their face, making their lips meet. They shared a deep, passionate kiss for moments before letting go and seeking sleep in each other's arms.

Kurama left Yusuke that afternoon after making sure the detective is ok.

"Is he asleep?"

"Hiei… what did you tell him?"

"That he'll have rivals when it comes to you."

"So that's why he's talking about breaking up and leaving of him by me…"

"Really?"

"Yes. And I don't like that. You're making him feel small and unfit for me."

"He is. I still can't understand why you fell for him. You're the exact opposites."

"Don't talk to him like that anymore."

"… I didn't mean to hurt him… I just wanted him to grow up! He's so childish!"

"…You don't know him that much."

"I just… don't want you hurt. You're my only family, other than Yukina, here. I just wanted Yusuke to be mature to protect you."

"I can protect myself."

"I just don't want you ending up with the wrong person."

"I don't think Yusuke's wrong for me… how about you, what do you think of your new mate?"

"Mm…" Hiei was caught off guard, now the table's on him.

"And speaking of him…"

The ice master, Touya appeared and embraced Hiei, who blushed furiously in Touya's arms.

"Kurama, may I borrow this self-adopted brother of yours?" –Touya

"Sure. I know you'll take care of him."

"Thank you… well now, my fire, why don't you burn me up?"

Kurama smiled as he watched Hiei and Touya disappear in a warp hole to Makai. He couldn't help but grin on the thoughts of what the fire and ice couple could do in Makai.

"Hiei, thanks for treating me as a family… I value that and your trust so much… my best friend turned brother."

Yusuke's morning was greeted with a scent of roses. His Kurama filled his room with beautiful roses and a gift.

"…Yusuke, here's my gift I told you about. I hope, and I know, that you'll use it often…" – the note of Kurama said.

Yusuke opened the gift and saw that it's a 9x12 sketchpad with a set of different grade of pencils; from 4h to 7b. Yusuke smiled, now he won't lose notebooks just because of doodles.

It surprised him too that he is automatic now. He'll wake up early and get ready to go to school. He learned to listen to the lessons as well. Hell, Kurama really changed him for the better. He also stopped smoking and drinking too much now. He also learned to clean his room and keep his things in order, because Kurama sometimes gives him a surprise visit; and he gets really embarrassed for his dirty room.

"Hmm… so you became interested in studying, that's good."-Kurama

"Yeah…"

"Your assignment?"

"Done."

Kurama smiled and proceeded to doing his own assignment. He started to open this thicker-than-the-english-dictionary math book. He took out pen and paper and from time to time, consults his calculator. He laid bread and cheese spread on the table near Yusuke, making sure his lover don't go hungry.

"Oh, what do you like to drink?"

"Chocolate milk, I guess…" –Yusuke answered; not removing his attention to his sketchpad.

Kurama stood from his study table and approached his small fridge; took out 2 boxes of choco milk drink for both of them. Then he went back to his previous spot and continued studying.

After an hour, he finished and checked on his lover on the couch.

"What've you done? Homework?"

"No… You."

Yusuke held up his sketchpad and showed Kurama his drawing. It's Kurama's portrait, sitting at his study table.

"Wow… Yusuke, you got talent in drawing… you really got my face here." –Kurama praised as he took the sketchpad and adored Yusuke's drawing of him.

"Yeah… and I planned to shift course."

"Hmn?"

"I love to draw and doodle some designs with potential for commercial use so… I thought of shifting to advertising course."

"Well, that's great!"

"You think so? I mean… its not as big as lawyers, doctors, or engineers."

"Who cares? As long as you love what you are doing… besides, those big shot companies won't be big if not for advertisers. How could they sell their product without you guys?"

"Well, come to think of it…"

"Can I have this framed?"

"Sure, it's you anyway…"

"I always wanted to have a hand drawn portrait of myself…" –Kurama announced as he carefully tear the sheet of paper away from the rest of the sketchpad.

"Kurama… I still want to draw… could you… change to Youko form?"

"Ok."

Kurama's voice became deeper, his eyes turned gold in color, his hair turned to silver, and his height increased. His tail and ears appeared as well. He completely changed to Youko form. He sat in front Yusuke who interestedly drew him.

Every now and then, when they're together, Yusuke would sketch Kurama; he is now on his second set of sketchpad. But this time, he is practicing portrait in color with oil pastels.

"Yusuke?"

"Hmn?"

"You're drawing me again?"

"Yes, you're my favorite subject… actually I was thinking if I could draw you nude." –Yusuke finished with a grin.

"Yusuke!!!"

Then laughter filled the air. The days passed by so fast, and now they spent 10 months together. Yusuke had shifted to an advertising course and is enjoying what he's learning in it. They enjoyed the past months' peacefulness. No chaos, no mission from Koenma. Yeah, just 5 months ago, Yusuke got back as detective after losing his job because of his actions when Kurama died back then. (TearStar: refer to 'bloodstained handkerchief')

"Hey, loverboy, drawing's over… it's time." –Kurama

"Hmn? Oh, it's the meeting. It's really good the gang could be together again."

Today they are set to meet with the whole gang at Genkai's temple. Yusuke decided to go home, bathe again and change clothes. He told Kurama that they'd just see each other at the park where the gang is set to meet.

"Oh Great! Late comers are always late comers!" –Kuwabara bragged

"Oh yeah?!? You have no right to complain, you're late too!!!" –Botan

"Oh… hehe… Kurama? Where's your boyfriend?"

"He said he'd be here." –Kurama calmly said, but the concern is obvious in his voice.

They waited for half an hour again. The others came; Koenma, Shizuru, and Keiko. Then Yukina came, with Yusuke.

"Sorry, I'm late." –Yusuke hushed all complains.

"Ha!!! You?!? Why are you with Yukina my love?" –Kuwabara dashed beside Yukina and turned him away from Yusuke.

Yusuke narrowed his eyes and hit Kuwabara's face.

"You baka! I just saw her on her way out the market!"

"Yes… I brought apples for everyone."

They're just on time at the train station, the next train is set to leave. Kuwabara, Yukina, Shizuru, and Keiko sat together, while Koenma, Botan, Kurama and Yusuke stayed with each other. The travel to Genkai's temple is long so, most of them fell asleep. Yusuke saw this chance and neared even more to Kurama. He placed his arm around Kurama's neck and started blowing on Kurama's ears.

"Yusuke!" –Kurama protested.

"Everyone's asleep…"

Kurama leaned to Yusuke, the detective moved his arm and slid it down to Kurama's waist. He then kissed Kurama's forehead.

"Oww! So sweet! click click click" –Botan merrily took snapshots of them. "These are fairly good shots. I'll give you copies once they're developed click… I'm really your number 1 fan!!!"

"Arggh!!! Botan, give me that camera!"

"No no no!!!"

Yusuke let go of Kurama and is determined to chase the grim reaper around the train, but his waist is held by Kurama.

"I want to sleep, Yusuke. Don't leave." –Kurama, sleepily, and puppily said.

" 'Oh… nobody could resist that…' Ok. Sleep on my shoulders then."

Yusuke watched Kurama sleep, which made him fell asleep too. They enjoyed sleeping in each other's arms, unaware that Botan is on her second roll of film, taking shots of them.

They reached the place and is now climbing the plight of stairs to Genkai's temple. With Yusuke and Kurama obviously making the others go ahead of them, forgetting someone.

"I wonder what grandma looks like now. It's been a long time since we've seen her." –Yusuke said, slowly and slyly wrapping his arm around Kurama's waist; its favorite place to hang out.

"Yeah! That's great! Click " –Botan photographed them again.

"Botan!!!!!" Yusuke had enough of their stolen pictures so he chased Botan up the stairs.

Kurama couldn't do anything but watch his lover run like crazy.

"Hey, Kurama."

Kurama looked behind and saw someone familiar. The sky blue- long haired guy who fought Genkai in the Taguro tournament: Shishiwakamaru.

"Wakamaru, long time no see."

"Oh Kurama… you still look awesome!"

"That's flattering of you."

Wakamaru walked up to him and took his hand.

Yusuke came back with the camera at hand.

"Kurama I retrieved… Kurama?"

Yusuke felt waves of jealousy and pain wash over and over him. He just saw Kurama holding hands with Wakamaru.

"Oh, you're back, Yusuke." –Kurama noticed him but still left his hand in Wakamaru's hold.

That broke Yusuke's heart. He cleared his throat and reclaimed Kurama's hand; he spanked Wakamaru's hand away.

"Now that's rude…" –Wakamaru glared at him.

"Kurama? What's going on? Why is he holding your hand?" –Yusuke frantically asked.

"Oh that? He's just checking out the bracelet you gave me." –Kurama explained

Yusuke let out an inner sigh of relief; he also felt his heart seamlessly mend back again.

"Yes, that's right. So you don't have to be freaked out, detective… I never thought you have good taste in jewelries."

"Hmm, get out of here! This is OUR gang's reunion, and YOU are NOT invited." –Yusuke said harshly.

"Y-Yusuke, don't be rude." –Kurama scolded him. He admits, he is surprised to see and hear Yusuke go rude like that.

"No, it's ok, Kurama. I'm leaving anyway… well, see you around."

Yusuke watched Wakamaru walk away. Then he turned back to Kurama, who is kind of holding back his laughter. Yusuke raised an eyebrow and questioned his reddening demon lover.

"What's funny?"

"Hehe… is that how you get jealous?"

"Oh? So you like that? Go ahead! Hold hands with everybody!"

"I am not… Yusuke, I love you." –Kurama took Yusuke's hand as they reach the temple door.

"Oh there are the lovebirds! We've been looking for you." –Keiko greeted them "Can't start eating incomplete…Well, Yusuke." Keiko blinked at Yusuke and "I hope you're not giving Kurama any trouble. Does he, Kurama?"

"Oh no. I can handle him."

"That's good. If he becomes stubborn, just tell me and I'll slap him to death."

"A teamwork, huh?" –Yusuke said as he bit on a chicken drumstick.

The reunion went smooth and happy for them. There have been lots of catching up and updating of how they live lately. They're so having fun that none of them noticed the pair of eyes that watches them, with a special preference to Kurama…

'Well, have fun you dumb detective… damn! I just looked away for a while then you now have Kurama on your bed… I should've courted him before, then it should be my bed he's in… anyway, I'll get you, Kurama… soon.'

TearStar: Competitor no. 1 is out and ready to grab Kurama away from Yusuke!!! Now… Chap 3!
