"The fuck Hiei, I don't wanna wear this thing!" Yusuke yelled as he tugged at the collar that was around his neck, he shot both his friends dirty looks and muttering cures all the while.

"Yusuke it is only for a week, I am sure that you and Hiei can last that long without killing one another." Kurama pitched in taking a sip of his tea as he looked between the two males. In truth neither of them could stand the other and Kurama had no idea why Hiei would pick someone he couldn't stand, but whatever the reason Kurama mentally prayed that his house stayed intact over the next week.

"Don't worry fox I have a few very good ideas in mind on how to keep Yusuke under control." Hiei said to his friend with a disturbed smile.

"Now hold on one fucking minute don't I get any say in this!?" Yusuke yelled to bring the attention back to him on the floor.

"Urameshi just deal with it." Kuwabara finally spoke up from his place next to the red-head with his coffee in hand.

"Shut up Kuwabara, if you were wearing a collar and had to be bossed around by shorty here you wouldn't just deal with it." Yusuke lashed out at his friend while shoving a thumb in Hieis direction.

"Yusuke I understand that you're upset, but again a deal is a deal and you two did shake on this ordeal of yours. You should have known that, somewhere in the back of your mind, if Hiei won he'd pick you." Kurama informed the young detective who was still on the ground pouting like a little kid who didn't get his way.

"Shove it fox." Yusuke shot back and turned his back to the group.

"Get up." Hiei ordered Yusuke by tugging on the leash.

"Fuck you." Yusuke told Hiei who glared at him; Hiei gave the leash a rough pull causing Yusuke to fall flat on his back, knocking the air out of him momentarily.

"Up…now." Hiei ordered Yusuke once again. This time it was Yusuke turn to glare up at Hiei, deciding that it was best for him to do as he was told; Yusuke stood up and dusted himself off.

"Happy you frickin prick?" Yusuke asked Hiei who simply gave his disturbed smile.

"You are to address me as master." Hiei told Yusuke, this caused Kurama and Kuwabara to look at Hiei as though he lost his mind. Sure Yusuke had lost the bet and what not, but being Yusuke there was no way in hell he'd bow down to Hiei.

"Fine…you're still a fucking prick." Yusuke said. Hiei smiled once again and then looked over Yusuke's shoulder at Kurama and Kuwabara who seemed to have forgotten how to speak.

"Yusuke…." Kurama started.

"You're seriously gonna call him master?" Kuwabara finished for his friend.

"Are you two worried about me?" Yusuke asked trying his best to play the part of a helpless damsel.

"Honestly?" Kurama asked as he looked at Kuwabara who looked at him and then back at the other two.

"Yeah."

"I'm worried about my home." Kurama said a bit sheepish.

"And you two do have a…history of wanting to kill each other." Kurwabara added.

Yusuke looked at both his friends in shock, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, and how could the two people he trusted the most turn out to be this cold-hearted. He was in serious shit here with Hiei being his master, who knew what the short-three-eyed demon had in mind for the next week. But Yusuke played it off as though the sudden news didn't bother him at all and shrugged his shoulders. "What's the worse this little imp can do?" Yusuke asked shoving a thumb in Hiei direction.

Yusuke soon cursed himself for asking such a stupid question. "'Yeah what's the worse he could do?' I ask, gee if I knew it'd be this fucking bad I would have put up more of a fight, but what's the point now?"

"Talking to yourself isn't going to get anything done my slave." Hiei mused from his seat looking at Yusuke from his high and mighty chair.

"Up yours." Yusuke snapped flipping Hiei off, Yusuke sat back on his hinged legs using the back of his forearm to wipe the sweat off his forehead. After breakfast Hiei soon set Yusuke to work, it started off with his new slave cleaning the house top to bottom. This included all the four rooms, even after the fifteen minutes of Kurama and Hiei going back and forth about it not being right for Yusuke to clean his room and that it was alright for him to skip his room and so on. The fox finally gave in seeing that Hiei wasn't going to take no for an answer. It practically took Yusuke all day to clean the entire house and after that Hiei had Yusuke bathe him. And once that was done Yusuke was back to cleaning Hieis bathroom…which is where he currently sat on the tile floor taking a short breather. Hiei on the other had sat proudly sat in his desk chair as he watched Yusuke clean.

"You missed a spot." Hiei said smugly as Yusuke turned to send ice cold glares his way.

"I fucking hate you!" Yusuke yelled out as he went back to his cleaning.

Meanwhile Kurama and Kuwabara were downstairs in the kitchen cooking dinner.

"I feel a bit sorry for Yusuke." Kurama openly admitted keeping his focus on the carrot he was cutting up.

"Don't be." Kuwabara said coolly as though Yusuke deserved to be punished this way.

"He is still a friend." Kurama pointed out. Kuwabara closed the refrigerator door with the heel of his foot; he walked over to Kurama and placed the milk, cheese, butter, meat, and the other vegetables down.

"He maybe our friend, but he asked for all of this." Kuwabara told the fox as he turned to face the stove and turn it on.

"Yes this I understand, but I suppose I am just worried about what will take place over the next few days." Kurama said grabbing another vegetable and begun to cut that one up.

"You just wanted it to be you." Kuwabara teased the red-head who lost control of the knife which skinned his finger. "Oh shit, you okay man?" Kuwabara asked suddenly at Kuramas side.

"Yes, there is nothing to worry about. It is merely skinned, no bleeding." Kurama said washing both his hands and the knife off.

"Sorry 'bout that."

"Don't be, in truth yes I did want Hiei to pick me…but that is fine. It is better if I just keep thoughts like that to myself." Kurama confessed to his friend.

"Kurama, if you have those sort of feelin' for the creep. Just tell him." Kurama turned to look at Kuwabara in a questionable manor, had he just gotten love advice from self-proclaimed love doctor?

"Kuwabara in order to give one advice you should take your own first." Kurama said with his usual soft smile, he left Kuwabara standing there thinking about what he had just said and went back to cutting up the celery. Just then Yusuke came marching down stairs taking off his shirt in the process, he stopped short of his room which was located next to Kuwabaras room, and looked over at the two in the kitchen.

"When's dinner?" Yusuke asked placing a hand on the door knob.

"It should be ready within the hour." Kurama answered covering for a flushed Kuwabara who found a distraction with cooking the meat.

"Good I'm starved. Since I was forced to skip lunch!" Yusuke yelled up the stairs in hopes that Hiei would hear him.

"By the time you get out Yusuke dinner will be ready." Kurama softly smiled at his friend who walked into his room giving a grunt of awareness to what the red-head said, the door soon closed and within moments running water was heard. And as if timing was his perfection Hiei came waltzing down the steps and standing in the entrance of the kitchen.

"Yes Hiei?" Kurama asked once again focused on the task at hand.

"It looks nice." Hiei simply stated causing both Kuwabara and Kurama to stop what they were doing.

"What are you talking about?" Kurama asked.

"The food." Hiei said making his way over to the living room; he sat down in his seat, which faced the front door, kitchen, and back door at a perfect angle.

"Hiei is there something you wish to talk about?" Kurama asked again as he watched the fire demon walk off.

"No." He simply said. Kurama glanced at Kuwabara who seemed to be at a loss of words just as he was, Kurama decided to push it off until dinner was done and went back to working.

"Hot damn Kurama this is really good." Yusuke said stuffing his face of another fork full of the stir-fry he and Kuwabara had cooked.

"Thank you Yusuke, but Kuwabara helped me." Kurama explained gently nodding to the others direction.

"So this is where you've been learning to cook." Yusuke got out between bites of food as he elbowed his friend. It turned out that Yusuke took a bath and fell asleep; Kuwabara was sent in to wake him up while Kurama and Hiei set up the table in the dining area.

"I was happy to teach Kuwabara how to cook." Kurama said with a smile. "And Yusuke would it honestly kill you to not talk with your mouth open?" Kurama asked a bit annoyed that the young male still did not have an ounce of manors in him.

"Yeah it would." Yusuke answered him as he took another bite. Kurama let out a sigh as he too placed his food into his mouth. In all honesty the red-head liked moments like these, when all four of them were just together and getting along. He didn't care if it was eating, hanging out, or going out shopping...which reminded him.

"Hiei?" Kurama called his friends name after making sure he had rid all food from his mouth.

"Hmm?" Hiei answered as he lightly poked and prodded at his food.

"How is tomorrow?" He asked.

"Tomorrow for what?" Yusuke asked with yet another mouth full of food.

"We were to go cloth shopping for him tomorrow." Kurama answered as he mentally shook his head.

"It's fine." Hiei answered him as he took a third of the fork full of food and popped into his mouth.

"I still can't believe you don't eat." Yusuke said which received him a vicious glare from Hiei.

"He is still not use to human food." Kurama explained to Yusuke who finished off his first helping.

"And?" Yusuke asked as though there was more that needed to be explained. "You always go out of your way to cook more than needed, and he barely ever eats it." Yusuke said.

"Shut up slave." Hiei commanded Yusuke who stuck his tongue out and went to the kitchen to get more food. "You are the reason Kurama cooks more than needed." Hiei said as he continued to play with his food.

"I keep telling you, you do not have to force yourself to eat if you do not want to." Kurama told Hiei.

"And besides I'll be taking some over to sis's house." Kuwabara said with a smile.

"How is your sister Kuwabara?" Kurama asked taking another fork full, glade that the topic of the conversation had changed. But in truth the fox was curious to know how Shizuru was truly doing.

"She's good, I think her and Keiko just back from a trip from I think America." Kuwabara answered him thoughtfully.

"Keiko was with her?!" Yusukes voice sounded from behind the orange-haired boy.

"Yeah." Kuwabara answered tilting his head back to look at a fear stricken Yusuke.

"What is the matter Yusuke?" Kurama asked. The sudden behavior of their friend got their attention including Hieis.

"Every time they're together you're sister goes and says something to Keiko about me that isn't true…I swear her imagination is just as wild as yours." Yusuke ranted as he plopped down in his seat with his food in front of him.

"So?" Kuwabara asked.

"So nothing, who knows what you're sister told her this time." Yusuke said lightly pouting. Kurama shook his head and continued to eat as he listened to his friends go on and on about Shizuru and her many stories about Yusuke and how Keiko always believes them, it was truly entertaining to the fox and Hiei who was picking at his food.

Once everyone helped clean up the dishes and put food away, Kurama dismissed himself to his room for some homework that needed his attention more than the guys did. Shortly after that Hiei was the second to leave the living room for his room which, thanks to Yusuke, was spotless and cleaner than ever before. Kurwabara and Yusuke sat back and relaxed by watching a horror movie with popcorn, soda, and homemade candy.

"This is why I love coming to Kuramas, everything a guy could ever want right here." Yusuke said lifting his soda and the candy. Kuwabara laughed at Yusukes comment but agreed, he took a swig of his soda tilting his head to the side.

"Yo, Urameshi?"

"What?"

"We've seen this movie before." Kuwabara stated as the sound of a woman screaming bloody murder was soon followed by the sound of a baby crying.

"Really?" Yusuke asked not really noticing.

"Yeah, Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Kuwabara said, he and Yusuke watched the movie at least twenty times and knew every line to the movie.

"What-the-fuck-ever I like this movie so if you wanna be a pansy ass then leave." Yusuke said downing the rest of his soda and taking a handful of popcorn.

"You're impossible." Kuwabara muttered to himself.

"I'm right here damnit!" Yusuke yelled.

"Whatever Imma head off to bed, go to your room. I don't wanna wake up tomorrow with you in my bed again." Kuwabara ordered the raven-haired boy as he stood up and left. Yusuke stuck his tongue out at Kuwabara as his door closed behind him.

"I'm really getting tired of people bossin' me 'round like I'm some kinda slave…although I did lose the fucking bet…I bet those guys tricked me into saying that I lost just so they could laugh at me as Hiei bossed be 'round…" Yusuke looked at the T.V. and he watched Leatherface bury the sledgehammer into the back of his bosses head. Yusuke cringed at the sound of the human skull being broken open; he quickly searched the couch for the remote. Once said item was found he turned the T.V. off, Yusuke mentally admitted that he liked watching the movie with Kuwabara mainly because he was the only one who would watch it with him and not, a) freak him out with some creepy smile…Hiei or b) shudder in disgust at every person Letherface mutilated…Kurama. And also because if Yusuke became scared he knew Kuwabara wouldn't tease him of it…Yusuke knew there was another reason but he refused to think about it right now. The detective put the homemade candy and popcorn away and headed for his room.

Over the next few days Hiei don't bother with Yusuke, he was too busy anyway. Between Kurama dragging him out of the house to go shopping, which lasted the majority of the day, and then the day that followed that was a surprise visit from, Botan, Shizuru, Keiko, and Yukina. Kurama played host with help from Hiei, who also kept glaring down Kuwabara who was flirting with the lovely Ice Maiden as though he had no care in the world. Once the girls left Yusuke and Kuwabara left for their own home which was in need of some TLC, and then the day after that Koenma had summoned them to the spirit world for a meeting about Hiei staying in the human world and updates about demon activity. Yusuke was counting down the days the week deal would be over and once he and Kuwabara got home from a night out on the town with some of Kuwabaras College buddies, Yusuke was practically beaming with excitement.

"This is the last day!" Yusuke yelled from his room at 10:05 a.m. Kuwabara staggered into Yusukes door way rubbing the back of his bed hair in pain.

"What's with the yellin' Urameshi?" He asked with every ounce of groggy in his voice.

"This is the last day I have to be that little runts slave." Yusuke said overly enthused.

"Good for you, but I'm hung over so keep it down." Kuwabara informed his friend as he shuffled his feet back to his room and closed the door. Of course with the luck Kuwabara has…which was very close to none…the house phone went off ringing as loud as possible.

"Hello?" Yusuke answered the phone after running out of his room to get it, before Kuwabara did and said something he most likely would have regretted.

"Yusuke…ummm good morning." Kuramas voice sounded on the other end of the phone in surprise.

"Yes it is Kurama, yes it is. So what's up?" Yusuke asked, he was practically on could nine from the delight of finally getting the stupid collar off today. Of course the explanation to Keiko was bumpy at first but Kurama was able to smooth things out and then of course last night with Kuwabara and his friends. Yusuke was thankful that Kurama gave him the little lie about the collar being from Koenma and that it would help detect demons…of course Yusuke couldn't say that around Kuwabaras friends so he said it was a fashion thing.

"Yusuke?" Kuramas voice brought Yusuke out of his thoughts.

"Yeah what's up?" Yusuke asked.

"Hiei wishes to see you and Kuwabara." Kurama said. At that exact moment Yusukes smile literally turned upside down and his whole excitement about today was shot to hell.

"What the hell for?" Yusuke asked, Kurama sighed knowing that this would happen.

"He wants to talk to you."

"About?" Yusuke went on.

"That I do not know."

"We'll be over soon." A grumpy Kuwabara said into the phone that was in his room and hung up on the two boys.

"See ya'." Yusuke said as he two hung up on Kurama, shortly after he heard the shower in Kuwabaras room go on. "Might as well get ready for hell." Yusuke said to himself as he made his way to his room.

"Hiei this is a very bad idea." Kurama tried to plead with the fire demon who wanted to go all out on the last day of him being master over Yusuke, and the best way he know how to was to kill two…possibly three birds with one…or two stones. It all depends on how things go, of course in Hieis mind everything was going to go as plan.

"Drop it fox." Hiei told his friend coldly.

"Hiei, Yusuke will never forgive you." Hiei looked up at Kurama and saw that the fox was indeed worried and he should be, with not knowing what's going on in Hieis mind there is always a reason to have an underlining worry when it came to Hiei and a plan he had. Even if it was just as vague as get the detective and the buffoon over here to play a game. A game Kurama was frighten by what Hiei had in mind, of course a bet is what got Yusuke into this so maybe he'll chicken out…as if, even if hell did freeze over a thousand times. Yusuke will never chicken out of anything…which in some cases can be a good thing but when it came to Hiei…never. Kurama was brought out of his thoughts when the front door opened showing a relaxed Kuwabara in jeans and, ironically, an orange tee. Yusuke was wearing jeans that were ripped at the knees and a black muscle top.

"What the hell do you want short stuff?" Yusuke asked barging past Kuwabara and Kurama.

"I simply want to play a game." Hiei said with a sinister smile.

"That's not a good idea." Kuwabara said walking in and closing the door.

"Good morning Kuwabara." Kurama greeted and handed him a cup of black coffee.

"Thanks." Kuwabara nodded back to his friend in thanks and greeting.

"So what if it's a bad idea, I'm in. What's the game you fucking prick?" Yusuke asked smiling back and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Spin the bottle." Hiei simply said. Kurama and Kuwabara stared at him in horror whereas Yusuke stuck out his hand for Hiei to shake.

"Oh no." Kurama lightly said watching the action.

"Is there a bet?" Yusuke asked.

"You want one?" Hiei asked studying Yusukes hand.

"Fuck." Kuwabara said more to himself.

"Of course." Yusuke smiled.

"Name it." Hiei said.

"This is terrible." Kurama added.

"If the guy does everything their suppose-to do without chickening out then the loser who did the least does whatever the winner tells him to for a month." Yusuke set the bar with a smile.

"I'm doomed." Kuwabara sighed into his coffee.

"Deal." Hiei said and shook Yusuke hand, Kurama and Kuwabara wanted to kill the two males in front of them at the very same time they made the deal a deal.

"Excuse me." Kurama interjected.

"Yeah?" Yusuke answered turning to face the fox.

"When did Kuwabara and I become part of this quarrel that is going on between you two?" He asked not hiding his anger about being brought into yet another one of their many bets.

"Oh come on Kurama the dares shouldn't be that bad." Yusuke said draping an arm around Kuramas shoulder.

"That's the least of my worries Yusuke." Kurama sighed as Yusuke and Hiei cleared the living of its glass table for the boys to sit down and spin the bottle.

"Hey how many rounds are there gonna be?" Kuwabara asked sitting down next to Yusuke and Hiei. Yusuke and Hiei looked across at one another and then looked back at Kuwabara.

"How 'bout ten?" Yusuke asked the group.

"That's fine by me." Kuwabara said.

"I cannot believe I am doing this, but shouldn't there be an odd number of rounds." Kurama said to the group.

"Fine eleven." Yusuke said and with a satisfied nod from the others Yusuke was the first to spin the bottle, and as if he was calling out to it the bottle stopped on Hiei who smiled up at Yusuke who was also smiling. Kurama and Kuwabara feared what they two might have in store for them.

And sure enough by the tenth round Yusuke was leading with Hiei right behind him by one point, Kuwabara following that, and Kurama in last place. Of course he was only one point behind Kuwabara who was five points behind Hiei who spun the bottle and it landed on Yusuke, oh he was going to enjoy this one.

"Well?" Yusuke asked as Hieis smile kept growing. He then looked up at Yusuke and at Kuwabara and then back at Yusuke. "I'm not a fucking mind reader runt." Yusuke said.

"Kiss Kuwabara." All three of males looked at the shorter one in shock, but of course Yusuke was all for it, if it meant the he would win then hell yeah.

"Okay you big oaf come here." Yusuke said turning to face Kuwabara.

"Dude no, Imma part of this dare." Kuwabara said holding his friend at arms-length. "Is winning really that important to you?" Kuwabara asked.

"Hells yeah, now come here." Yusuke said. Kurama merely shook his head at the two and then looked at Hiei who was smiling.

"You set this up on purpose." The fox accused his friend.

"Yes I did fox." Hiei said with a wicked smile that caused said fox to shiver.

"You two better be watching this crap." Yusuke said as he pinned Kuwabara to the ground and kissed him fully and firmly on the lips. After a moment of surprise on both parties they broke the kiss and Yusuke sat up with a big smile on his face, right now he was glade he was winning because the kiss added to the smile. "I win!" He jumped up off the ground and gave Hiei a smug smile. "So who's in last place?" He asked looking down at the three other males on the ground, but he lingered on Kuwabara for a bit longer than intended. After all he had just kissed a good friend and someone who he might have feelings for.

"I am." Kurama answered him standing up and as he absently dusted himself off. Yusuke and the others looked at him in shock but then reality set back in as to who the fox was and that unlike his friends he does have respect and manors.

"Good come here." Yusuke ordered Kurama. Being the good, kind hearted person Kurama was brought up as, he walked over to Yusuke as he saw Hiei and Kuwabara stand up as well.

"Yes Yusuke?" Kurama asked standing only a few feet away from the half breed.

"Eyes." Yusuke ordered.

"Okay." Kurama felt as though he had an idea as to what was going on when he felt a warm leather material wrap around his neck. He gently opened his eyes to see that he was right in his guess about the collar finding a new home on him…for a month. Kurama internally sighed and deeply wished he wasn't so kind hearted all the time.

"Hey it looks better on you then it did on me." Yusuke commented which caused Kurama to give him a stern look and Kuwabara to let out a dry laugh…Hiei on the other hand looked pissed beyond a doubt.

"Would you like to correct that?" Kurama asked his friend.

"I meant it in a good way." Yusuke said patting Kurama on the back.

"So the next month I am…"

"My slave." Yusuke finished proudly with his normal idiotic smile.
