CHAPTER TEN: Movies And Yusuke
I didn't even look up as Kurama began to leave the room, saying something about organising dinner, I only heard it vaguely, and I only said 'No thank you' when I was asked something. I heard a clumsy set of footsteps enter the room after a few moments, seeing a fairly large box suddenly placed in front of me with a loud enough 'thunk' to let me know that these were my manga in their holder tins.
"This's the last box of your stuff." I heard Kuwabara say, causing me to look up at him, then to look around. There were another two boxes that weren't even in the room beforehand. "They really did bring everything that you had in that apartment." I looked away from him glumly at that reminder, seeing Yusuke suddenly step into vision.
"Ah, well. Want me to help you unpack? You just tell me where to put it!" He said in a loud voice, causing me to reluctantly nod – it would be pathetic for me to put all five large boxes of items away considering I was on crutches for the next week – at least that's how long Ritsuko said I would be on them. I saw him open the first box, and begin to pull out what I recognised to be all my toiletries and other such items. "Oh, and I forgot. You've got your own bathroom!" Yusuke said, as if the bag of shampoo and conditioner was the source of his thoughts. I merely nodded, seeing him placing all the items in the bathroom, and Kuwabara was unpacking the box that was next to the bookshelf, which left me opening the box that he had placed in front of me for the sake of having something to do.
"Huh? What's with all these DVD's?" I heard Kuwabara ask as I began to stack my manga on the bed next to me, causing me to look up at him as Yusuke grabbed another arm load of items from the box he dragged into the bathroom.
"I get bored." I said simply, seeing him look at me with a curious look.
"I've only heard of this one." He said, holding up Silent Hill, which caused me to nod slightly in knowledge – Oh the Japanese adored their Silent hill. I hadn't yet got hold of other movies of the like.
"And that doesn't surprise me." I said. A lot of the movies I had were not Japanese original, a lot of them were English, so it wasn't that surprising. I had the suspicion from that moment that Kuwabara couldn't understand English. I wondered if that was true. I saw him look at me in confusion, but I said nothing, seeing him look at the shelves.
"Put them up there?" He asked, motioning to the bookshelf.
"Go for it." I said quietly, seeing him beginning to stack the DVD's on the top shelf, causing me to frown deeply – I was going to need a chair to stand on to be able to reach them, but there was nothing for me to complain about, I wasn't being made to organise them all myself, which was a relief in itself.
"Man, that smells good! Kurama's going all out with dinner this time!" Yusuke said from the bathroom, stepping out with an empty box.
"I know, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" Kuwabara said, causing me to glance at him momentarily.
"That poor horse." I commented without humour, but Yusuke suddenly burst out into laughter.
"Hey! What's that?!" I heard Yusuke ask suddenly as he looked at what Kuwabara was doing, causing me to frown slightly.
"Movies." I answered, seeing Yusuke suddenly leap at Kuwabara with a look of awe across his face. I felt the frown leave my face as he suddenly picked up the movie 'Silent Hill' with a look of shock across my face, then I saw him look at the Japanese version of 'The Ring'.
"A-Are these real?" He asked in a voice of something that sounded like awe to me, but ... why? I nodded slightly as he looked at me.
"The English remakes of the Ring Movie is in there as well, as well as the second they made." I said, and I saw him look at me in shock. "What?"
"You've got the English versions?!" He asked in shock, causing me to frown fractionally.
"That's what I just said." I answered, and he looked almost ... too happy.
"You're so awesome!" He said immediately, causing me to suddenly flinch. "Kuwabara! You go help her with what she's doing! I'll take over!" Yusuke said happily. I just watched as he began to go through the box with glee across his face, and Kuwabara sat down next to me, the both of us just watching Yusuke – he looked like a five year old kid on Christmas Morning just going through that box of DVD's. He would mutter something every now and then under his breath, and he would pause on the odd occasion as he picked up a DVD to read the title – I took mental notes on the ones he paused on, and it appeared he liked the genre that I was into.
"You know, Yusuke." I began several moments later as he picked up the cover of the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, seeing him look at me immediately. "You can take an armful of DVD's with you when you leave the room." I saw a look of disbelief for a few moments, then he looked like he was so happy he was about to pass out.
"Really!?" He asked in shock, and I heard Kuwabara begin to laugh hysterically at the positively ecstatic tone in Yusuke's voice.
"Yes, why would I be lying?" I asked, seeing him look like he was about to cry after a few moments – and yes, that only made Kuwabara begin to cry from laughing so hard.
"Any of them?" He asked, and I frowned fractionally.
"Silent Hill, Resident Evil and any anime I want back, but the rest, feel free to take and keep." I said. He immediately looked back at the ones he had stacked on the shelf, then I saw him pull the ones that I had taken mental note of down from the shelf, which did include Silent Hill and The Ring. I just shrugged it off and began to unpack the rest of my manga, seeing Kuwabara begin to unpack the last box of my belongings after several moments. It didn't take too long for the rest of my gear to be packed, apart from the DVD's when Yusuke came across my vast anime collection – he just sat there in the corner drooling over two titles that I was vaguely aware that I had. I could smell something that was beginning to make my stomach churn, but I tried to force it out of my mind.
"Must watch movies." I heard Yusuke say as Kuwabara folded up the last of the boxes, causing me to look over at him. It appeared he had returned the anime to the shelves, and he was now holding an arm of about ten movies in his arms, looking at them as if they were his most prized possessions. He suddenly had a Cheshire grin as he sprung to his feet and ran out of the room. "KEIKO! BOTAN! COME DOWN HERE AND WATCH THE RING WITH ME!" He suddenly yelled as he ran up the stairs.
"NO!" Came a chorus of voices immediately, causing me to smile fractionally as Kuwabara burst into laughter.
"I guess that means he likes them." I said to myself.
"Well, it smells like dinners ready, you coming?" Kuwabara asked.
"No, I think I'm going to stay down here for a while." I said, looking around for my crutches. I nodded in thanks as Kuwabara grabbed them and placed them on the bed next to me, and began to leave the room. He shut the door behind him, allowing me to look around the room slowly. It appeared, I was allowed my room, and I could feel the corners of my mouth pulling upwards into a smile as I grabbed my crutches carefully and dragged myself upright. I looked at the tops of the walls slowly, beginning to approach with a slight smirk on my face. Before I could get overly happy over the room, I had to check something first.

"What's that noise?" Kurama asked, looking down at the floor as the odd 'Tonk' sound came from the floor.
"Maybe she's looking for camera's?" Kuwabara suggested, Kurama looking at him immediately.
"Really, Kuwabara, she's not that strange." Yusuke said as he continued to go through the DVD's at the dining table, a laugh in his voice as Kuwabara glared.
"The baka human is correct." Came Hiei's remark from where he was seated, upon the windowsill in the kitchen area as Kurama served up eight plates of food.
"Huh? What?" Yusuke asked in confusion, a dumbfounded look across his face as he watched Hiei.
