Everyone is out to get us – Far-Less
"In this chest…indetermination exists…"
They both walked up the stairs straight towards Yusuke's apartment and Kurama knocked the door, shortly after he was greeted by Yusuke's loudness
"Yo! Kurama! Man I thought you weren't coming! You're not one to be late!" he said, moving his arm around Kurama's shoulders all buddy-like
"Yes we had a little problem on our way here" he said, trying to forget about what happened in Hikaru's house
"Alright, I see your girlfriend along! Hello hello Hikaru!" Yusuke addressed Hikaru, giving her a huge grin
Hikaru blushed at Yusuke's words while Kurama just glared at him "Chill man, I'm just kidding!" he said letting go of him "how are you doing girl? I'm glad you came!" he said
"Thank you for inviting me Yusuke san" she said, returning the smile
"Naw, Yusuke's fine! So Kurama didn't you tell Hiei about the party?" he asked, curious
"What? Isn't shorty coming?" interrupted Kuwabara "He better doesn't show up here! If he interrupts another moment between my beloved Yukina and me I'll be showing him what a real man is!" he said manly, way too confident
"Oh really? And where's the man? All I see is a stupid oaf" said Hiei who had just appeared behind Kuwabara without him noticing
Kuwabara turned pale and then yelled so loud the entire neighborhood noticed
"You damn shorty!!! Do you wanted to kill me?!!" he yelled, grabbing Hiei from the collar
"It's a pity you didn't die" he said coldly, glares and flares coming from both of them
"what's all the fuss!!! Why was Kuwabara yelling?" a girly voice belonging to the blue haired ferry girl
"Kuwabara san, why did you scream? Are you ok?" came the concerned voice of a smaller green haired girl
"Yusuke! Don't be so loud! You will end up getting kicked out!" another girl, a brunette said
"It wasn't me Keiko!! It was Kuwabara who yelled!" he said defensively
"Yukina chaaaaan!!!" yelled Kuwabara with hearts and rainbows surrounding him while he instantly forgot about Hiei and went straight to Yukina, Hiei with really big desires of killing him.
"ara? And who is this girl?" asked the blue haired girl
"Girls, meet your new friend!" said Yusuke who pulled Hikaru from Kurama's side, who felt a little annoyed for Yusuke's action "Girls, her name is Hikaru! She's friends with Kurama!" he announced
"um…um… nice…nice to meet you all!" said Hikaru both, uncertain and nervous "I am Hikaru! I hope we can get along!" she sweat dropped "Oh God these persons are so cheerful" she thought, feeling overwhelmed but also happy
"Hikaru eh? Nice to meet you! I am Botan!!" said the ferry girl in her usual tone "this is Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend, and Yukina!" she said addressing to each of them
"Nice to meet you all!" Hikaru bowed
"Come with us to the kitchen Hikaru! Let's leave the boys and go talk girls stuff" said Keiko quickly dragging Hikaru, who didn't pose resistance "You don't mind, do you Kurama?" she asked with a wink
"um sure? That's fine" Kurama blushed, having been figured out by Keiko wasn't something he expected but he still managed to keep his cool
The girls left to the kitchen and Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke were left alone (Hiei was out on the balcony)
"I think they're gonna get along just fine" said Yusuke casually
"yeeeees my beloved Yukina seemed really happy, did you see her face? Those beautiful eyes were shining!!" said Kuwabara, still surrounded by rainbows and hearts
"…I..didn't really see any of that" Yusuke sweat dropped " but Keiko and Botan seemed to like her, and she's already been included in their girls stuff thing, they'll be just fine" he smiled "what do you think Kurama?"
Kurama was totally unaware of Yusuke's question, his mind was busy wondering if Keiko had him really figured out, he felt somewhat scared of her telling something to Hikaru "Perhaps I'll have to talk to her so she won't tell?" he thought "So you really have feelings for that human girl?" Hiei interrupted his thoughts, again, but the only response he got was Kurama's silence. Indeed, he had already realized that he had feelings for Hikaru, but still couldn't manage to understand and so, refused tell.
"Kurama?" said Yusuke, waving a hand in front of his eyes "man snap out it!" he said a little louder, still waving his hand in front of her blank stare, he was getting angry since he was being ignored "KURAMA!!!!!!!! STOP THINKING ABOUT HIKARU FOR A SEC WILL YA?!!!!!!" he yelled, drawing back Kurama to earth
"I-I wasn't thinking about her!!" he almost yelled back, an obvious blush on his cheeks
"Did someone call my name?" asked Hikaru from the kitchen's door with her cheerful smile
"Yeah! Kurama here was just- -" tried to say Yusuke before getting his mouth covered by Kurama's hand
"No, it's nothing! Don't worry!" answered Kurama, returning her smile
"Ok then! I'll go back with the girls" she smiled, especially for Kurama who was still covering Yusuke's mouth
"Sure!" He told her, and then threatened Yusuke in a very low tone "Say something like that again and I will kill you, Yusuke"
"Riiiiiiight!" said Yusuke, feeling nervous at Kurama's change of tone towards him "I'll go check on Kuwabara and Hiei, keep them from fighting again!!" he said and quickly left to save Kuwabara from Hiei's katana
Kurama just leaned against the wall and watched how the all quarreled in the balcony "This of hiding my feelings, with friends like this, is going to be really hard" he sighted and looked how all the girls came out of the kitchen wondering what the noise was
"You're friends are really cheerful, Shuichi! I really like them very much!" appeared the voice of Hikaru, who was now leaning against the wall next to Kurama
"Yes they're always like this" he pointed and the guys fighting "Did you enjoy your time with the girls?" he asked smiling at her tenderly
Her heart skipped a beat and she nodded happy "Yes! They're all so nice Shuichi! And they're very funny! Botan is really cheerful! Keiko looks a little stricter but she's also pure love! And and Yukina also! Although she looks shy she is really cute! I like them very much!!" she told him excited
He laughed softly, his smile never leaving his face "I'm really glad you're enjoying here with them"
They both chatted never losing their smiles. Keiko, who was watching from a side, was confirming her thoughts on Kurama having feelings for Hikaru and Hikaru having them for him, but she still wondered why they haven't yet confessed to each other. She was going to find out.
"Shuichi?" Hikaru whispered to his ear, suddenly noticing the short dark man in a corner "Who is that guy over there?" pointing at Hiei
"Oh, that's Hiei" he said simply
"The one you talked me about? Your best friend?" she said cheerful "can you introduce him to me? Pretty pretty please?" she said, making him puppy eyes
"Are you sure you want to meet him?" he said sweat dropping "he's not really a people person so.. . he might be rude!" he warned her
"Come on! You're exaggerating, I want to meet him!" her smile big
"very well, I'll introduce him to you" he smiled back "Hey Hiei! Come here for a sec!" he called, to his surprise Hiei came
"What do you want?" of course his surly attitude up at all time
"Look, I want you to meet Hikaru" he looked back at Hikaru who just stood there shyly "She's a friend from school, I bet you've already heard her name, right?" he said, obviously meaning that he wanted Hiei to call her by her name
"So just a friend from school huh?" she thought a little disappointed "Hello!" she said with a smile "Nice to meet you, Hiei!"
Hiei just looked at her, without saying a word. Yusuke and Kuwabara called Kurama so he left them for a moment and went where the two brutes were standing.
"Why is he just staring at me" she thought, feeling uneasy by his intense stare "he makes me a little nervous!" she sweat dropped
"Hmph…nice to meet you too…" He said and then went back to the balcony, leaving Hikaru there
"I'm back! Sorry I left" said Kurama " so… how did you like him?"
"I think…he's really short on words" she paused "but I think he's a kind person" she smiled at Kurama, who was impressed by her answer
"Deep down…he is a good person" he told her, hearing Hiei's words on his mind
"She's not that bad I guess… now that I see her closely I realize your taste for women hasn't changed at all" he said mocking him and then left his mind
"I think he likes you" Kurama told Hikaru, trying not to get bothered by Hiei's words
"How would you know that?" she asked, obviously curious
"Let's call it a hunch" he smiled
"Kurama!! Hikaru!! Come over here guys!" said Botan's cheerful voice "We're going to play 'spin the bottle' come join us!" Yusuke announced, obviously intending to get Kurama to either kiss or at least confess his feelings for Hikaru
"I think I'll pa- -" tried to utter Kurama, fully aware of Yusuke's intentions, but was interrupted by Hikaru's loud approval towards the game
"We're coming!!" she yelled and held Kurama's hand, much to his surprise "Let's go, Shuichi!" she said happily and dragged him so he couldn't refuse
"Are you going to play Hiei?" asked Yusuke
"No"
"Come on Hiei, join us for a change!" insisted Botan
"I said no!" he repeated
"What? You afraid of a simple game shorty??" teased Kuwabara, trying to bother him
"Shut up you oaf! I'm not interested in such stupid games"
"Please Hiei, come join us it'll be fun" said Yukina in a very sweet voice
"… fine… I'll play" he said simply, unable to refuse a request from his sister
"Yukina, you're persuasive powers are really to be admired!" sweat dropped Hikaru, Yukina just giggled and so the game started.
It had been going on for a while, so far Keiko had kissed Yusuke, Yukina had kissed Hiei twice, much to Kuwabara's discomfort he had to Kiss Yusuke once same as Hikaru, and Kurama had kissed Botan and Yukina, all kisses were friendly though but the round they were about to start had a change of rules, this time kisses couldn't be in the base of the neck but instead in the lips (Yusuke's idea)
Kurama wasn't feeling comfortable with this new fashion since he had already seen Yusuke kissing Keiko and Kuwabara in an attempt of kissing Yukina before Hiei threatened his life, he was afraid that someone who was not him would have to kiss Hikaru, luckily so far no one had and it was his turn to spin.
"I guess I should just get over with it…" he said and just decided to spin the bottle, Hiei was feeling bored so he thought things would get interesting if he conveniently made the bottle stop
"I wonder on who is it going to land on" Hikaru thought as the saw the bottle slowing down
"Let's see what will you do now fox" Hiei told telepathically to Kurama and made the bottle stop on Hikaru
"Well well well! Check this out!" Yusuke grinned, Kurama, you'll have to kiss Hikaru now!" his grin getting bigger
"WHAT?!?!" both, Kurama and Hikaru exclaimed as they saw the bottle and they looked at each other blushed, not knowing what to do.
"I-is he really going to kiss me?" she thought and shrugged in place not daring to look at him
"what am I going to do?" Kurama thought, also troubled at the moment "Damn you Hiei…" he glared at the shorter man unsure of what to do now
"…Love"
