Tenshi- On top of that, she's not to fond of one of the pairings. So it was a little hard to work with.
Spirit- Yes, from now on, I have the right to reject any pairing I honestly just can't see happening. If I hate it, I obviously can't work with it. It's just to damn hard! Anyways here it is.
Requested by JovainSheWolf

Kuwabarra/Minako
Oh yeah and I am No Longer taking requests! You'll have to wait for Christmass. I still have like 6 more to do for Halloween.
Disclaimer- I don't own either animes/mangas. I do own a few characters in here that will later appear though.
Makoto waited outside of her school as the rest of the teens began to walk or drive home. Tonight was Halloween, and she had absolutely no plans. All of the others were either helping out at local haunted houses, or taking groups of kids from their neighborhood trick-or-treating. It was strange how suddenly they had begun to grow farther apart from each other. They weren't letting their friendship die, it was just that they didn't hang out as much as they used too. Sighing the brunette leaned against the stone wall and just fell into her own little daydreams.
A different pair of green eyes watched her from afar. They belonged to one of her classmates. He was new to the school, but instantly felt a sort of attraction to the brown haired, emerald eyed girl. What made her stick out from all the rest? Was it her courage, which she displayed many times to some of the guys at school? Or was it that she held a certain softness that not many with her rep could sustain? She reminded him of a rose. So beautiful and soft when you touch the petals, but when she got made, her thorns stuck out.
"Mako-chan!" turning, then boy saw a chirpy blonde girl he knew, rush past him and over to brunette. "Why are you just standing there?"
"Huh?" Makoto asked, coming out of her thoughts. "Oh Minako, sorry I was just spacing out I guess."
"Do you have anything to do tonight?" Minako asked, latching onto her friends arm.
The emerald eyed girl shook her head. "No, I was just going to pass out candy."
"At an apartment complex? You should come with me to Yusuke's party! Kuwabarra's taking me, but I don't know a lot of the people that will be there. So can you come with me? Please?" she asked, giving her friend her famous puppy dog eyes.
Makoto sweat-dropped but smiled and nodded. "Sure Minako I'll go with you."
"Yatta!" the blonde cried jumping into the air.
"But are you sure? Wouldn't you rather be along with your new boyfriend?" the taller girl asked with a sly grin.
Minako just shook her head. "No, Kuwabarra will most likely get in a fight with Hiei or Yusuke like he always does. And that'll leave me alone."
"Alright, what time is it at?" Minako then proceeded to give her friend all the information needed for that night. Makoto quickly memorized it all then the two parted.
It was then that Minako noticed him as she turned and walked past the schools entrance. "Kurama? What are you still doing here?"
"Nothing." he lied.
Of course being the lady of love, Minako saw right through him. Her mischievous grin spread across her face as she looked over her shoulder at Makoto's retreating back. Then her blue eyes fell back on him. "You were spying on Makoto, weren't you?"
"No."
"Liar! I know you like her. It was so obvious since your second day here when I introduced the two of you." she accused.
Kurama rolled his eyes and turned to walk away. He loved Minako to death, like a little sister. But he always hated when she got into her match-making mode as their group dubbed it. All logical thinking just flew out of her head, leaving nothing but the one thought of hooking up her two latest victims. Which this time, happened to be himself and her emerald eyed friend.
Of course the blonde wasn't going to let his silence get to her. It was then she began to follow him and kept suggesting for him to just ask the girl out. Kurama stayed silent, not ignoring her, just not answering. It was kind of hard to ignore a bright yellow hyper teenaged girl that was hopping around you speaking in a high pitched voice. He had known her long enough that eventually she would run out of energy and give up for the moment. And as luck would have it, her nagging was starting to decrease the farther they got from the school.
Getting a little impatient, Minako just stepped in his way, forcing him to stop. "Ok, here's what you're going to do." she ordered, rather than said. "At the Halloween party tonight, you at least have to talk to her. Ever since you two met you have been stalking her but never actually said more then two words to the girl."
"I'm not a stalker, that's Hiei's job." Kurama simply said. Minako gave him a look that made him sigh in defeat. "Fine, at the party, I'll talk to her."
Instantly her face brightened up and she glomped him. "Thank you Kurama! You won't regret it!" she cried then ran off back the way they came to go to her own home. Something was up. She never gave up so quickly, let alone let her victims off with just forcing them to talk to their crush. The blonde haired girl was planning something, and he was afraid to find out what. Hopefully Kuwabarra would keep her entertained for most of the night. He was honestly now afraid to go. But Makoto would be there, and he did want to at least establish a friendship with her. Sighing he looked forward and continued his walk home.

Yusuke opened the door in his zombie costume and grinned at the three. "Hey you all made it!" he cried. Kuwabarra immediately began to chat with his friend as Minako and Makoto hung up there coats and went to find somewhere to sit. The blonde seemed to be happy as she was smiling and waving at the people who walked by. Makoto however felt a little uncomfortable. She really didn't know anyone there other than Minako and her boyfriend. She had seen Yusuke and the others around school, but never really talked to them. She was mostly too busy keeping an eye on Usagi.
Seeing her distressed friend, Minako began to chat with her about random stuff. It was then she saw a flash of red out of the corner and a wide smirk appeared on her face. Instantly she pulled the brunette up and over to the snack bar where a certain red head was pouring himself some punch. The blue eyed girl shoved Makoto in front of him and smiled sweetly. "Hey Kurama, you remember my friend Makoto right?"
The boy jumped, but then regained his composure and smiled. "Why, yes, of course." he said and flashed his smile at the emerald eyed girl, who gave him a sort of uncomfortable one.
"Good!, well then can you make sure she doesn't get lonely, I'm going to find Kuwabarra!" she then pushed the girl onto Kurama and dashed away. Both blushed and pulled away from each other. By the time they turned around, Minako was gone. Kurama sighed, he knew she would try something like this. Makoto was shaking her fist, and now plotting her blonde haired friends demise. How could she do this to her? She barely even knew Kurama.
The two looked at each other then quickly looked away. An awkward silence fell between them. Neither really knowing what to say or do. Makoto fidgeted and rocked on her heels, as Kurama took a sip of his punch as quietly as he could. The whole thing just felt really weird. Desperate to at least stop the silence Kurama began to think of something to talk about with the brunette. She beat him to it however. "So why aren't you wearing a costume?" she asked.
Kurama looked down at his attire. He just wore some jeans, a normal t-shirt and a loose jacket over that. He shrugged. "Didn't really find one I liked. I like your costume though."
Makoto smiled, and he felt his heart race. "Thank you." again the silence fell.

Unknown to them a pair of light blue eyes was watching from afar. Kuwabarra looked down at his girlfriend and sighed. Why must she always insist on being the matchmaker? Now poor Kurama had to suffer her wrath. The two were standing in the kitchen watching the two emerald eyed teens talk every once in awhile then fall silent. This process had been going on for nearly a half hour now. The orange haired teen kept insisting on going over there to start up a longer lasting conversation, but Minako refused to let anyone go near them. She kept saying they had to do this themselves.
"Minako, can we at least dance or something? Watching them like hawks is no fun." Kuwabarra asked.
The blonde turned to him, "I'm sorry, I just really want those two to hook up. They'd make such a cute couple."
"Well then let them get together on their own and stop watching." he said, playfully grabbing her arm and leading her back out to the party. Minako smiled and shrugged. He was right, she really couldn't do anymore for them. She should just enjoy the night while she could, and find out the details tomorrow. With that, the couple wandered out onto the patio were the DJ was set up and the people were dancing.

Kurama couldn't take much more of this. It was so uncomfortable trying to start a new conversation and watch it die quickly. Setting is now empty cup down he held out a hand to Makoto. "Care to dance?" he asked.
"Hm...sure!" Makoto replied, giving him another smile.
She placed her hand in his and he led her outside. They pushed through the crowd and stopped when there was enough space to dance. The awkwardness from before soon diminished as they danced to the songs that were played. The two laughed as they moved and danced with each other. "Every Time We Touch" began to play and they picked up the pace a bit. Kurama twirled the girl around which caused her smile to light up more. The red head also smiled. They were having so much fun they didn't notice that the song changed and slow song came on. The other couples began to dance slower and the two stopped.
Makoto was about to go sit down when Kurama caught her wrist gently. "One more dance?" he asked. Makoto thought about it. Kurama was a really nice guy. Though they had been awkward at first, they started feeling mor comfortable around each other. On top of that, he looked like her old boy friend. With a nod she placed on hand on his shoulder and slipped her other into his hand. He took hold of her waist with his free hand and began to guide her around the floor. The two couldn't help but stare into each others matching eyes. For a moment it felt like there was no one else around. For a moment they forgot about the party and only saw each other. Makoto rested her head on his shoulder and Kurama closed his eyes. They danced until the song ended and the crowd applauded the DJ.
It was then they heard a certain blonde call out to her friend. Makoto looked up to see Minako waving her over. She smiled and shook her head. She then turned back to Kurama. "Thank you Kurama. I had a lot of fun." she said and was about to leave. However he caught her hand once again and brought it up to his lips.
"It was my pleasure Makoto." he said and lightly kissed the top of her hand. The girl blushed, but nodded and went to her friend. Kurama watched as Minako began to bombard the girl with squeals and questions. The two friends then walked out of sight. With that, Kurama turned to find Yusuke and the others. The party was starting to end, and though Minako hadn't exactly got her wish to put the two together, a relationship had started between the two.

Makoto stared up at the sky dreamily as she and Minako walked home. The blonde kept saying how cute the whole thing between Kurama and her had been. The brunette just let her mouth run, not really paying attention. That was until the blonde stepped in front of her, hands on hips. "Makoto are you listening?"
"Huh?"
Minako grunted. "I asked, do you like Kurama?"
The brunette just shrugged and continued walking. Of course she liked him, but she really didn't want to admit that to Minako. The news would be around the whole school the very next day. No, it was obvious that the two would eventually start dating. But for now, she was content for the night. "Minako lets get home."
"Huh? Alright then!" the blonde cried and stopped talking. The two then walked quietly down the street, letting the memories of that night play back in their minds.
