Here we have another short scene with some light humor for you all. When I first thought of it, I felt the idea to be rather generic and dull, but after I wrote it I was happy with the smile it gave me. And the giggles lol Enjoy Yukina's response to Yusuke "at his best"! Oh, and my prompt was "Lost".

Disclaimer: TURN TO PAGE 394. Oh, wrong series. Don't own nothin'!


Pride Comes Before A Fall

Yukina folded her hands in her kimono, content to watch him spin his wheels for as long as he could tolerate himself. He was by far more entertaining than any fighting tournament or monarchial summit.

"Uhh… shoot… damn it! I was sure…"

"Sure of what? Your instincts?" Yukina mused, stepping in front of him, as if to get a lay of the land before them. She surveyed it mildly, seeming disinterested, but this was not helping to lessen Yusuke's cohesive record for getting annoyed at himself.

He looked as if he was going to pout, but fought to save face against this charming apparition next to him. "Don't give me that attitude, young lady. I know exactly where we are!"

She only had to turn to him and give him that look. Her smirk said a thousand words without her even taking a breath and he immediately caved.

"Augh, okay! I admit it! I'm lost!" He did manage to save himself from dropping to his knees in defeat. At least he still had an ego that was very capable of being bruised. "Please tell me you know where we are. If not, I think we may have to order take out for dinner – then we could find a way home thanks to the delivery guy!"

She laughed lightly, glad to have had him give in, but not enough that his pride was completely ruined. Yukina raised her eyes to meet his in her sweetest of gestures, took him by the hand and quoted him precisely.

"Don't worry, Yusuke. I know exactly where we are."


She had her fun with him, now she mildly handles the situation. lol Such a nice girl! Please leave a review and THANK YOU so much for all the attention you've been giving this little collection! You're seriously wonderful and I am ever grateful!

P.S. ...Something interesting is in the works. lol
