Author's Note: Hello! It's been awhile right? Well, I'm back so enjoy this short chapter… for now. I have to admit that my plot is so obvious and the proof shows in the reviews. Since I wanted the whole reason to be a shocker, I decided to change my story around a little bit just to keep a tiny element of surprise in there. Hopefully.

Disclaimer: The wonderful characters of Yu Yu Hakusho are sadly not mine.

Something strange has got Kurama rather agitated. What was it and why couldn't he at least tell it to Botan? Was it just another part of his infamous schemes or something more?

Wednesday's Proposal

Yusuke smirked as he moseyed by a jewelry store with many glittery diamonds winking at him behind the glass. The smirk gradually gave way into a big smile as he continued down the blustery streets. He had been the man; no he is still the man! Yusuke had seen and done many, many freaky things in life but none had been quite like what he had accomplished last week.

Although he had returned home from Makai three years ago, the wedding he'd promise to Keiko was never carried out. He had been a jumble of nerves leading up to that moment and had ended up proposing in the most ungentlemanly way possible. But who cares? It was done and that's the important thing.

The triumphant smile was still plastered on his face as he strolled by a coffee shop. As he glanced inside, he saw a familiar blue-haired girl sitting on an armchair with a rather gloomy expression on her face.

I wonder what's she doing-ah…

Instead of walking into the shop to cheer up his seemingly depressed friend, Yusuke continued so as to not disturb the "thing" that had to be perfect.

"Hell yeah! I did it!" Yusuke laughed rather evilly for such a non-evil occasion. After the dinner, they all decided to separate in pairs: girls and guys. So Keiko and Botan went off one way, sighing and crying and blubbering while the Yusuke and Kurama went their own way.

"Congratulations, Yusuke." Kurama smiled, genuinely happy for his friend.

"Now all that's left is the wedding! Can't be much harder than proposing I'll tell you that much."

"Indeed."

Yusuke noticed the sudden seriousness in the air and glanced at Kurama. He was surprised to see the usually poised fox rather glum.

"What's wrong with you?"

Kurama sighed and reached into his pocket. "Forgive me for telling you this but…" He revealed what was in his hand: a small box…

"HOLY CRAP!" Yusuke's jaw dropped and his eyes bugged out in a very unattractive manner. "Open it, let me see!" Kurama complied and opened the box to reveal a stunning diamond ring. Now, this as you might imagine was a rather awkward scene. Several onlookers couldn't tear their eyes away from the two young men.

"Uh…that's enough Yusuke." said Kurama hastily as he shut the box and returned it to his coat pocket. Yusuke realized the situation and shot his infamous death glare at the gawkers.

"Anyway," resumed Yusuke as he cleared his throat awkwardly. "I can't believe you were gonna…oh wait…don't tell me I beat you to the…"

"I'm afraid so."

"Damnit! Of all the days…"

Kurama sighed heavily. It was all set up and he was only moments away from proposing when Yusuke just had to pop the question. Oh well, maybe it was better that way. Yusuke and Keiko had their night all to themselves and he'll have his own…when the time was right.

"Well, why don't you do it tomorrow?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"They say that it's going to rain tomorrow."

"So?"

"So I don't want it to be rainy on the day I propose."

"Then how about the day after that?"

"The docks will be closed that day."

"Docks? Are you going for a more romantic setting this time?"

"Maybe, I haven't quite figured out the details."

"All right, why don't you give it a couple of months? That way, you'll be more prepared."

"I've always wanted to propose in the winter."

"Always?"

"Well…"

"Damnit Kurama, you are so picky! Just do it!"

"No…"

"What is with you and perfection? I mean it really won't matter anyway since I'm sure she's gonna say yes!"

Kurama sighed and shook his head. Yusuke's personality was just one that wouldn't understand his need for everything to be flawless. Call it an obsession but Kurama just had to have it done his certain way. All of the time and effort put into the perfect night had gone to waste and Mr. Perfectionist was definitely down in the dumps.

"Well, since it's you, I'm sure you'll figure out a way to make it perfect. It's late…wow, so late it's early. I'm headin' home. I'll catch you later." Yusuke patted the crestfallen Kurama heartily on the back and left.

Who would have thought? Those two. It must really be something. I do kinda feel guilty about proposing before he did but hell, I didn't know! Two weddings...what a double header.

Yusuke laughed as he remembered Kurama's disappointment; though not exactly nice, it was still very entertaining. No doubt Kurama had chosen today to be the big day to pop the question. But then something didn't seem right. Why was Botan all alone and where the heck was Kurama?

What is that fox thinking?
