TWO!!!
Amazing, ne?
...No?
Well...YOU SUCK!!! (not really)
Anyway...um, yeah...just imagine a disclaimer here...remember...Im-a-gin-naaa-tion (like on Spongebob with the rainbow).
Um, vote-wise...One vote for Hiei/Botan...One vote for Yusuke/Kurama...One vote for Kurama/Yukina...One vote for Kurama/Shizuru...One vote for Kurama/Hiei. Which means the winner so far is...NO ONE!!! Astonishing. Hm...Kurama's quite the whore, ne?
Kurama: I find that offensive.
Yes, but you can't help it if the readers like you with a diverse number of people. You can only be with two people at a time!!! (one for Yoko one for Shuichi)
Note: Erm, I don't think Shizuru will be in this story, I like her, but, she just doesn't have anything to do with the storyline. Also, Botan and Yukina will be in the story, but not, like, in it...Meep?
Let's hear it for Mary Sue's!!!
Reviewers: crickets ... cough cough ...You suck!!!
Ahahaha...Just kidding! I HATE MARY SUES!!! They must ALL die a slow, painful death!!! Yes, some OCs are very well based in their personality, I admit, but...THEY MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE BISHONENS THEY'RE PLACED WITH!!! GRRR!!! Die, die, die!!!
Ahh...Now that I'm nice and vented...
Chapter Two...Butterflies
Kuwabara and Yusuke have been scanning the city for quite some time, now, and it was really getting on one of their nerves.
"GRRR!!! We should have at least traced some energy by now! How weak are these demons, that we can't feel them?!" cried Yusuke, as he threw his bag to the ground, and sat cross-legged.
"Maybe they're masking themselves...," suggested Kuwabara, who sat down next to his friend.
"I think I've grown strong enough to overcome that, Kuwabara..."
"How am I s'pose to know that?!"
"Oh, right, you're human...Sorry for my ignorance, oh, Great Orange-Top."
"Do you want to be killed?!" asked Kuwabara.
"HA! Like you could!" challenged Yusuke. They stood in front of one another and glared eachother down.
"Is this the smartest thing to be doing?" asked a cool, calm voice from Yusuke's left,"We are here for business reasons, after all..."
Yusuke and Kuwabara look to see Kurama standing a few yards away from them,"How did-? When did-? STOP CONFUSING MEEEE!!!" cried Kuwabara.
"Sorry to cause confusion, Kuwabara-kun," laughed Kurama,"I got here about the time you did..."
"Them why didn't you reveal yourself?" asked Yusuke as he stood up.
"URAMESHI! You want him to reveal himself?! I didn't know you were that way! What about Keiko, huh?!" asked Kuwabara stupidly, standing up as well.
"You dumbass! That's not what I meant!" yelled Yusuke. The two sarted to argue some more. Kuwabara got Yusuke in a head-lock, and Yusuke was trying to punch him. Kurama just stood there,"Um...Stop?"
"Let the bakas be, fox," said a deep voice from way up high. Kurama turned and saw Hiei sitting on top of a nearby building; his face lit up,"Hiei-kun...You're here too, I see."
Yusuke stopped in mid-brawl to see who Kurama was talking to,"YO! 'sup, Hiei?"
"Hiei?" asked Kuwabara, who looked up,"SHRIMP?! How did-? When did-? STOP CONFUSING MEEEE!!!"
Hiei jumped down and stood next to Kurama,"I got here way before you did...," he said, as the boys detangled themselves from the other,"You know, it's much fun to see you stupidly stepping on obvious traps."
"Nani?!" shouted Kuwabara,"Are you trying to say we're dumb, chibiyaro?!"
"Oh? Didn't you hear me? You're I-DI-OTS."
"GRR!!! You'll regret making The Great Kuwabara Kazuma The Man mad, shrimp!" barked Kuwabara.
Kuwabara went to punch Hiei, but only managed to hit air...then the ground. Hiei, who was now three yards behind Yusuke, Hn'ed, and started walking off in the directions Yusuke had been going oridginally.
"Hey, where're you going?" asked Yusuke, as Kurama went to help Kuwabara up.
"Away from the rest of you; It's been one glorious year without your presence, and now I can't even stand five seconds with you," stated Hiei, as he flitted off somewhere.
Yusuke happened to look at Kurama (who was now standing up straight; along wth Kuwabara) at just the right time,'Why's he look so sad that Hiei left?...Wait, why am I sad that he's sad? Whoa, I just confused myself...'
"Yusuke?" asked Kurama, knocking Yusuke out of his stupor,"Huh? What is it?"
"You're...staring at me...," was the fox's reply.
"Oh? What's this?" asked Kuwabara mockingly,"Is that...lust in your stare?"
"Shut up! You wouldn't know lust if danced in front of you naked!" snorted Yusuke. Kurama sweatdropped,'That wasn't the best analogy you could have thought of, Yusuke,' he thought.
OOOOOOOOO
That night. The three had found a house that was in fairly good shape. It even had a door! (Most had rugs hung over the doorway; of would it be rugway?),"Excellent! No one will find us here! And when we find them, we can sneak attack them easily!," stated Kuwabara, as he got ready for sleep (They were going to take turns keeping watch).
"Unless, of course, they open the door," Yusuke added sarcastically. The room was rather small; Kuwabara's head was right in front of the doo,"And if the do, Kuwabara will act as alarm!"
"That's not funny, Urameshi," growled Kuwabara.
"Yeah, says you," laughed Yusuke,"Alright, who's going first?"
"I will," suggested Kurama,"I don't think I'll be able to sleep for awhile..."
"Alright!" chirped Kuwabara, who promtly fell asleep. Yusuke sweatdropped, then turned to Kurama,"You sure? 'Cuz, I mean, you look tired, man. I can go first."
"No, no...It's alright...," Kurama soothed. Then Yusuke shrugged and settled in for sleep. Kurama moved to the window once Yusuke's breathing evened, signaling sleep. He pushed the tattered curtain out of the way, and stared outside.
The city truly looked like a ghost town at night. Dark, and broken, and full of bad memories. Kurama looked up at the sky. It was pitch black, with the brightest of stars shining back at the fox. Not like in Ningenkai, where pollution always covered the stars. He had always flirted with the idea of going back to Makai for good, if only to see the skies as thus for the rest of his life. But, no, that wasn't a good enough reason to leave his new family for good...was it?
Kurama closed his eyes for a few seconds, then reopened them, and found him self scanning the top of the buildings. Searching for Hiei, perhaps? Kurama laughed quietly to himself. He then closed the curtain, and sat dowm, his back to the window.
Several hours later, Yusuke snorted and woke up, and saw Kurama searching for something in his backpack. Yusuke looked to the curtain, and saw light filtering through the rips. Yusuke sat up straight,"Morning?! Kurama, you've stayed up all night?!"
He saw Kurama flinch out of the corner of his eye (he was still staring at the window). He guessed he had spoken rather loud, and Kurama had gotten used to the quiet during the night. He turned to face the fox,"Oh, so you're awake?" Kurama asked.
"Why'd you stay up the whole time?" Kurama didn't answer, 'Stayed up, hoping Hiei would come?' Yusuke thought, then for some odd reason felt jealous. Why? What was going on?!
"Yusuke?" Kurama's voice tore him out of his stupor again.
"Huh?"
"You're staring at me again..."
"Uh, sorry...I'll wake the idiot up," Yusuek said, to change the subject, then got out of his sleeping area. He shook Kuwabara's shoulder several times, then ended up kicking him in the gut,"ITAI!!! K'SO! Yusuke no Yaro!!!" cried the "idiot". Kurama laughed slightly, and for some reason, Yusuke felt proud of him self. The three cleaned up there stuff, and prepared to search the city.
"Split up?" asked Yusuke.
"That seems the wisest choice...This place in rather large...," said Kurama.
"Yoshi! I'll go this way," cried Kuwabara, and he walked off in a random direction.
OOOOOOOOO
Hiei was flitting from building to building. He had been doing so for several hours, ever since he thought Kurama had seen him in his perch on the building opposite the one they were sleeping in. Why did he run away when he saw those emerald eyes come close to seeing him? It was a question he had been trying to answer, but came up empty every time. It was really frustrating. Ever since Kurama acknowlegded his presence in the city, Hiei had strange feelings in his stomach. "Butterflies" as he heard the fox put it once...
"Damn it all!" Hiei shouted to himself; he was getting off track. Back to the job at hand...
THISISTHEENDOFTHISCHAPTER
WOOT! It sorta looks Yusuke/Kurama (one-sided) and Hiei/Kurama doesn't it? That's because it is! Every chapter will be different, depending on which pairing is winning. These two were the only ones that would work in this particular chapter.
