Yuusuke's Lost Match


XVI. Distraction

Why his friends brought her along to watch his semi-finals match, he did not know. Though he could not see her, he could feel her eyes watching him on the screen. What was she even doing at the tournament was a good question, too.

She brought back the memory of her kisses and his fuck-ups. She had tried to tell him what would happen, and he had ignored it.

Just as he ignored his opponent, and took a ki blast to the face, shoving him off the platform.


XVII. Platonic

Yuusuke took a certain kind of pleasure when Kagome looked him over for injuries.

Kuwabara nudged him. "Too distracted to notice the blow to your face?"

He smirked causing her to look away. So Kuwabara hit him on the head. "The fuck was that for!"

"Stop flirting with Kagome-san!" Kuwabara shouted back making him punch him. Only he was allowed to torment Kagome to the point of blushing.

Yet he noticed the look Hiei and Kurama shared between trading blows with Kuwabara. He knew they were putting two and two together, and realizing that they were not just old friends.


XVIII. Questioning

He knew he should not have gotten in a fight with Kuwabara, especially considering all the questions he had. He knew Kagome had some kind of reiki, just not that she was a miko. And if she was at the tournament, and appeared to be answering "yes" to Kurama's question of if she knew, then she had to know he was a youkai from day one.

But he was not angry. He understood secrets. Just as he understood she had not been looking for him, but someone else.

It was why he knocked out Kuwabara and stalked over to them.


XIX. Slip-up

They stopped talking and looked at him. Yuusuke had the feeling that they had been discussing him if the way Kagome would not meet his eyes was any indication. "So," he drawled, "why are you here, Kagome?"

She fidgeted with the cuff of her sleeve. "I figured this was a good way to see if I could find a few old friends."

He wanted to wince and glare. Old friends could mean old friends, or could mean what it did with him.

"Youkai?" Kurama asked.

"Yes... Save for one inu-hanyou. Though it has been centuries..."

"What? The hell!" Yuusuke shouted.


XX. Excuses

Kagome winced and covered her mouth. Yet Yuusuke was not about to let her slip-up go, and he noticed that she was thinking up excuses. He looked at Kurama and Hiei, meeting their gazes. Like hell they were going to let that go unquestioned.

She stuttered. "Oh... Will you look at the time! I should have been home an hour-"

"Cut the crap, Kagome! You said 'centuries'. How the hell does that happen?"

"An accident! Tell Kuwabara-san I'll see him on Tuesday!" she shouted before turning and running away.

Kurama held him back. "Sometimes it's not wise to push someone."
