"Yusuke! Are you skipping class again?" Yusuke opened his eyes to see Keiko standing in front of him with her arms crossed, her body defiant.

My eyes widened in surprise 'why the hell is she here?' I thought 'in all of my fanfictions I conveniently omit her seeing as I usually pair Yusuke off with someone else. Eek I hope this doesn't complicate things.'

Yusuke shot back a "No, I'm actually in class and you're just delusional."

Her glare deepened "Don't get smart with me Yusuke-"

"Oh so you want me to go to school to get stupid?" He interrupted

Keiko started simmering "You are incorrigible! I don't know why I put up with you!"

"Because of my dashing good looks and sexy voice?" he teased further

Keiko smiled in spite of herself "Oh yeah, that's definitely it." she rolled her eyes.

"You know you love me." he smirked.

Her eyes softened uncharacteristically. "Yeah, I love you in spite of you." She ducked down and placed her lips to his. Yusuke was surprised, but he liked Keiko and was attracted to her, so he didn't move. Suddenly a déjà vu feeling overcame him and he could feel Kurama's lips on his. He jerked back and stood up suddenly. Keiko looked at him, eyes wide.

"I'm sorry, I just can't, Keiko." he said backing up, trying to forget the feel of the phantom lips

"It's okay Yusuke." she said with a teary smile "I understand, it's someone else. Right?"

"No!" he said too quickly. "It's not that, I just don't see you that way! You're my friend." he felt horrible. He had the feeling that he was lying but he couldn't figure it out. He didn't have anyone else.

"That's right Yusuke, don't let her get to you." I muttered, sitting forward in my seat. I was surprised at Keiko's bluntness, but proud with Yusuke's refusal. My good little homosexual.

"I understand, it's okay Yusuke." she smiled sadly. "This won't make it weird will it?"

"Nah. I knew you couldn't resist me anyway." Yusuke said, attempting a jest. "See ya around." he went down the stairs to the rest of the school. While he had his back turned, Keiko let a tear run down her cheek.

Yusuke decided that sense he was chased off of the roof, he would go and take his classes. At least his first few until he got bored. One thing he forgot though, he had first period with Kurama. He finally remembered that walking through the doors of the gym, his first period being PE.

He ignored the coach yelling at him for being late, and quickly went to the lockers room to change. He didn't even look at Kurama.

"AHHHH! MY EYES! THEY BURN!" I scream turning away from the TV. I forgot that to get changed that implied undressing. I do NOT want to see Yusuke's bits. No way, Eww. Glack. Okay, I'm over it. Anyway.

Yusuke changed and went into the gym, seeing that everyone was heading outside. Kurama waited up for him, concern in his eyes. When Yusuke caught up he asked "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah." was all the answer he gave before walking past him.

"Oh come on!" I yelled at the TV. "Don't be an ass just 'cause you're attracted to him. Don't fight it Yusuke!" I threw popcorn at the television with disgust.

The boys started to run the track, feeling much like cattle among the many. "Are you sure you're okay?" Kurama asked, pushing the subject.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Yusuke asked, avoiding eye contact.

"Well, you've been really distant lately."

Yusuke made a noncommittal sound before taking off on a full run, ceasing conversation.

Kurama came up behind him, determined to have an actual conversation with his friend. Yusuke pushed up the speed, running figuratively and literally, from his problems. Kurama was just steps behind him. The coach blew the whistle to signal that it was time to go to their next class. Yusuke got off the track and, still running, headed towards the gym. He ducked in the locker room and hurriedly changed. Despite his effort, Kurama caught him, cornering him in-between the lockers.

Yusuke glanced around; hopping for something to save him, (un)fortunately, the room was conveniently and for no apparent reason other than plot continuation, deserted.

"Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something to upset you?" Kurama asked, leaning in close in case Yusuke tried to make a run for it.

"No, god no. I'm just going through some shit." said Yusuke, looking at the ground.

"Yusuke look at me. We are friends, I'm here for you." Yusuke refused to look up. Kurama grabbed his chin, forcing the raven haired boy to look up. "Tell me why you have been avoiding me, Yusuke." he whispered, looking him in the eye.

That bit of contact mixed with the emerald eyes staring at him melted the rest of Yusukes hard won control. He leaned forward, pushing his lips to Kurama's mouth.

Author: Yes, I'm ending it here. HA! So I THINK the chicks name is Keiko. Pretty sure. Like I said, I never write fics with her in it and rarely do I read stories with her in it (Shonen-ai is my god) and I have no cable/money to watch the anime and no money to read the manga and I'm too lazy to get off my ass and check soooo if it's the wrong name I apologize.

Setsuna: isn't she such a bad person?
