Can you turn my black roses red? Chapter 4

-"Kuraaamaa" Kurama was trying to come around as Kuwabara was shaking him; when they where out of hearing range of course. Then again, Kuwabaras loud voice had a tendency of being heard far of; at least for him.

-"Yes?" He stated calmly. This caused Kuwabara finally to stop shaking him.

-"You HAVE to call her. I Kuwabara Kazuma-sama demand you to call her!!" Kurama just gave him a calm smile, as if the outburst he just had passed right into is right ear and through his left without registration.

-"I shouldn't be troubling Kitajima-san."

-"Don't you dare to come with the ´I'm a demon´ excuse. It's not gonna work in front of me."

-"……."

-"So call her."

-"I won't."

-"Then I'll take back what I said about you being an adult. Now you're acting like a kid!" Kuwabara looked upset.

-"It's nothing Kuwabara-kun."

-"Right, I give up….for now." Kuwabaras head hung and Kurama just smiled.

-"You got more important things to think about don't you?" The red head added.

-"Yeah……..So you're heading home now?"

-"Yes" Kurama nodded.

-"Still living with your family?" The fox demons smile got wider.

-"I love them very dearly."

-"Yeah if you got so much love stored up for them, how about spreading it a little bit further."

-"What did I just say about you having more important things?" At that Kuwabara truthfully gave up and they parted ways.

-

-"Stalker!" Was the first thing Maya said to Ayumus voice on the phone in her room.

-"Who, me?" Ayumu cheerful, knowing perfectly well that Maya meant her.

-"Yes you. Let me have a private life okay?"

-"I'm sorry I'm sorry it won't happen again." Ayumus voice very excusing, she truly was sorry. "I just couldn't keep myself, and you saying that you want to have a private life is a good thing." Maya just sighed and almost fell over on the bed starting to inspect her recently change of tapestry. It was blue, however in the sunset light as good as everything had an orange tone to it.

-"Ayumu how about that text we should leave in today?" Changing her subject, there were far more things to talk about then this.

-"Already completed it, and left it in. I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out."

-(Almost) Maya sighed mentally as her try to change subject had failed.

-"Think about something else Ayumu! What if there are aliens?!" There was a…awkward silence on the phone for a minute after that.

-"Have you seen any traces lately?" Finally a change of subject, Maya did know Ayumu had other interests.

-"No I'm sorry."

There was some silence on the line after that. Maya didn't know if Auymu just ran out on motivation or if she was gathering up thought for a...greater plan.

-"Let's make a deal!" Maya blinked to this, she doubted it for a second.

-"…..Go on."

-"I'll fix you up some nice tickets to that show on the space museum in Tokyo! And I get to set you up with Minamino."

-"Ayumu!"

-"Come on, it's perfect. I mean you obviously have this complex about having to know the guys; and obviously you know Mi-na-mi-no-san."

-"Ayumu that was years ago! I mean he's not the same person he was then; and neither am I. Besides I BARELY knew him."

-"Well you seemed to get along now."

-"I'm not happy having a match-making friend."

-"But I give you tickets….I can even give you the tickets first. I mean, it'll be you, me, Minamino-san and he can bring a friend!" At this Maya went stiff. What on earth and solar systems was her friend thinking. Had all this gone to her head? Why was she this obsessed.

-"Ayumu is there something I don't know about?"

Finally it went silent on the other side of the line. Obviously there was something Maya didn't know about. Ayumu hadn't been this keen about setting her up for a long time, and going such a long way to get it. "You want me to come over?" She added after the silence.

-"Uhum" was added, but it seemed distant. Was she on her way to sobbing?

She was dashing outside in just a mere minutes ready to take the buss and go and talk with Ayumu.

Friends in need were the MOST important thing in Kitajima Mayas life.

-

-"How long have you been hiding it?" Maya patted Ayumus head as she let her friend sob freely over her cup of tea. She should've guessed that it was something over the ordinary.

-"A week….." She finally got out between sobs.

-"You've been holding this inside of you for an entire week?" Ayumu was no idiot, and she could be picky herself about guys. Part of her motivation to fixing Maya up came from that, she'd been having a steady happy relation, until a week ago apparently. There came the hidden reason why she wanted Minamino-kun to bring a friend.

Not much more was said during that evening. Maya slept over, she couldn't leave Ayumu alone in that state, since Ayumu was having her own apartment; her parents where miles away.

Maya felt thoughts being thrown around in her head while looking up at the roof from the floor bed she was lying on. Ayumus hand holding hers while her friends arm dangled from the bed side.

-"Ayumu…"

The silence said that she listened.

-"I'll make sure that Minamino-kun brings the most wonderful of his friends."

-

-"You don't have his number!?" Maya felt that she could've flew into the wall from that scream, at least it was forceful enough to make her blow of breakfast cereals vibrate on the table.

-"I'm sorry. I gave him my number but I never asked for his….." Ayumus head fell to the table with a slam.

-"I still got the tickets…." Was mumbled from the table.

-"I'll look him up, promise Ayumu, I got a few clues on where to start."

-"Like where?"

-"You take a shower and fresh yourself up first; and then we'll look up the Minamino residence."
