"…what I didn't realize was that one kiss, that kiss I gave her just so that I could feel in control again, would turn me out of control."

'Youko let me out now!' Kurama said in Youko's head

'I will just let me tell her-'

'NO!'

'Fine, Shuichi have it your way'

"I'm afraid I can't tell you anymore my dear. "Youko said before letting out a sigh.

"Why?" I asked him in disappointment

"Oh, do you want me to stay longer?" he asked me while running a finger down my cheek.

I blushed and turned my head and slapped his hand away.

"A change of heart? Eventually I'll make your heart stay in a permanent position, one that would make me happy" he said winking at me. I watched as he stood from his spot. He bowed.

"Goodbye my lady" and in a poof he turned back into the normal, human boy I knew as Shuichi

" Lena, are you okay? He didn't say do or say anything to offend you did he?" he asked

I shook my head and smiled.

"Youko didn't do anything Shuichi" I said standing up before him. "Everything is fine"

"I see the fox has left" Hiei said walking into the room again.

"How'd you know-?" I stammered

"I'm an apparition not stupid" he said

I rolled my eyes

"Don't you have training onna?" he asked to I.

"Uh, oh yea, we lost track of time" I said rubbing the back of my neck.

Just as if on cue Genkai walked in with her usual stance and looked at the two of us.

"You sure did. Let' get going kid" she said walking back out.

I sighed and turned to Kurama.

"See ya later Shuichi…Hiei" I glared at him before following Genkai.

//3 hours later//

"You did a lot better than yesterday. Good job" Genkai said looking up to me.

"Thank…you….Master…Genkai" I panted out with my hands on my knees.

"I'll let you go early today because a school assignment you must complete with Kurama"

"Thank you"

I walked back into the temple to see Kurama, Kuwabara, Yusuke playing cards.

"Oh, hi Lena. Have you finished training already?" Kurama asked turning to me.

"Yea did you do better then you did Yesterday" Kuwabara asked before snickering.

"Ha, ha" I fake laughed." She actually said I did a lot better that yesterday and she let me go early so that Shuichi and I could work on the project"

"In that case let's go" Kurama said putting his cards down

"Where are we going?" you asked him

"To my house"

You almost shrieked but held yourself and blushed

'Shuichi's h-h-house'

"I thought we were going to the library." I said

"It's closed now"

"Oh yea"

//Shuichi's House//

"Hello Mrs. Minamino" I said before bowing to her

"Hello, it's nice to see you again Lena?"

"Again? You know her name? I didn't even tell you yet" Kurama said completely perplexed

"She was my waitress when I went to /name of restaurant/. How could I forget such a darling person. You look beautiful without your glasses"

'Thank you Mrs. Minamino" I said blushing

"Your welcome. You don't need to be so formal, just call me mom"

"Mother!" Kurama said blushing in embarrassment

"Oh fine then call me Shiori " she said walking out of the room. I smiled.

"Nii-san. Your home"

We all turned in the direction of the voice and out came a little boy, about Kenji's age, with brown hair and freckles around his nose. He ran and latched his self onto Kurama's leg.

"Hi Shuichi" Kurama said patting his little brother's head.

'They all have the same name? It must be very confusing here…'

His brother gently tugged on his pants.

"Nii-san…Who is that girl?" he as the cute little boy pointed his finger to me.

"This is Lena. She's my friend from school"

"I thought Madori was your friend"

'This kid is too much' I thought suppressing a laugh

Kurama glared at me playfully.

"Madori and I are still friends… Lena is just my new friend"

Little Shuichi stared me up and down before smiling at Shuichi.

"Nee-san is pretty."

Kurama blushed at his little brother's comment and I blushed because Kurama blushed.

"Shuichi shouldn't you be doing your homework of something"

"No I finished. I wanna talk to Nee-san"

"You could talk to her later.'Nee-san' and I want some work to do" he said after he bent down to his level.

Shuichi pouted. "Okay…"

I also kneeled down to his level and smiled.

"Don't worry about it, I'll hurry up and finish my work just for you"

"Really…" he asked excited

"Yes"

He turned to Shuichi

"Shuichi, you have to finish your work. I have a new transformer to show her"

Kurama smiled at him.

"Of course"

Little Shuichi ran and left Kurama and I alone.

"We should get to work" he said motion me in the direction of his room

//A little later//

After an hour and a half and thinking over, over…and over again about how you were in Kurama's room, we both eventually got caught up and got a decent amount of work done.

I sighed and fell back against his bed.

"Whoa…I think my hand is cramping" I said flexing my hand above myself.

Kurama chuckled

"It hurts that bad?"

"Of course…Shuichi, we did at least a weeks work so that we could catch up and I had training today"

"Well it will pay off in the end when we get an A" he said

"We would have gotten an A even if weren't working together…we're dorks" I joked.

"Surely you don't think we are dorks" he said leaving his desk and sitting next to me on his bed.

"I was only kidding" I said sitting up and smiling to show him that I wasn't being serious, but Kurama didn't smile back.

"Shuichi...I said I was joking"

I noticed him move a bit closer too me, I blushed

"I know…" he said in almost a whisper.

'Is he…trying to…kiss me?'

His hand found my hair and he gently combed through it.

"Shuichi stop, we can't do this…"

"Do what?" he ask pulling his hand back and gave me a very puzzled look.

"Uh…you mean, you weren't trying to…"

"Trying to what?"

"Kiss me?"

He blushed "No, no you got it all wrong I wasn't trying to kiss you Lena, you had something your hair." He said while picking the lint that was in my hair and showing it to my.

"Oh sorry" I said blushing in embarrassment.

"Is your hand feeling better?" he asked switching the subject

"Yes" I said as I flexed it again

"Good. Now we could finish the project tomorrow. I'll take you home" he said standing up.

"No you don't have to. I could go alone" I replied standing up after him.

"No I insist"

" Lena you should let him, besides it's 9:12, a young lady should not be walking alone at this time" I heard his mother say over the door

"Mother"

"Just saying" she said again

"Fine you win." I said.

He smiled and opened the door. When he did, we both saw little Shuichi looking up at the both of us.

"Are you guys done now?" he asked

I nodded

"Cool let's go." He said gripping my hand.

"Shuichi-chan isn't it past your bed time" Mrs. Minamino yelled

"Ahh, but mom. Shuichi you did that on purpose, you played with her to long now I can't play with her anymore" he said angrily.

"Don't be mad at yor brother. One day I'll come over to play with you okay."

He stopped to think a moment, his finger was on his chin very cutely.

"Okay but you can't play with Nii-san, only me" Little Shuichi said

"To tell you the truth I don't like playing with Shuichi, did you know he made me read?" I whispered loud enough for Kurama to hear.

"No way"

"Yes way."

"Can you come over tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I can't squirt, Shuichi and I have to work again"

"How about the day after that?"

"Sounds like a date" I said smiling.

He gave you a cheeky grin.

"Goodnight Nee-san"

"Goodnight Shuichi" I said before Shuichi and I made our way to the front door and walked out.'

"You're good with kids" he said matter-of-factly

"I have a brother about his age at home."

"He's actually my stepbrother. My mother recently re-married. I must say it's a bit awkward to have a little brother out of the blue when I grew up as the only child."

"Well, my parent's got divorced and my mother got remarried 5 years ago and Kenji was born that same year. At least you got him at 5; I was stuck with him when he was a day old. I can almost hear the crying again" I groaned.

"You're funny too" he said happily

"And your very observant" I said. " And thank you"

'Hey this is the perfect moment'

"Hey Shuichi, since your break up with Madori…have you both at all spoken?"

His face hardened a bit at my sudden change of subject.

"No. Why?"

"Just wondering"

'Damn it he's a freakin' closed book'

"Sorry for asking"

"It's alright"

After an awkward silence we both finally made it to my house.

"Thanks for walking me home Shuichi. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Goodnight Lena" he said before turning and walking away from my doorstep.

I sighed and walked into my house and went straight into my room. I closed the door and jumped into my bed. I groaned into my pillow.

'Maybe I shouldn't have asked him. If Madori wants him back she should get him back right? But why isn't that I don't want them to get back together.

Do I have feelings for Shuichi Minamino…?'
