Chapter 10: Star Wars, Squids, and Sand
After the night of thunderstorms, the four demon friends even though we're not sure if we can call Hiei a friend of really anyone, jk jk.. returned to Kurama's home.
"We're baaaaaaaaack!" Sakura announced, as they entered through the front door.
Briar got up from her chair. "WHERE IN THE DEMON WORLD HAVE YOU BEEN!"
"Yikes! No touchie!--" Sakura said.
"Oy. We were just in the Spirit World." Jin answered her.
Briar looked over all four of them. Kura looked the most tired. "Woah. Kura? Did you even get any sleep?"
"No. She didn't." Hiei said, as Kura practically kept leaning on him with her eyes shut.
Kurama looked up from his book and to his sister. "Why? What happened?"
"Let's just say that thunder and lightening were involved..." Sakura said, biting her lower lip.
"Oh.. I see... " Kurama said, returning his eyes to his book.
Hiei took Kura to her room and laid her in the bed. He shut the door, quietly and rejoined everyone else in the living room.
"Wait... thunder? Lightening?--- I don't get it.." Briar said, clueless.
"She's afraid of thundering and lightening." Kurama told her, seeming calm about the situation.
"Oh? Really?" She said, quite surprised. "That's... interesting..."
"Yes. I'll say. She's not afraid of huge, monstrous demons that could eat her in one bite.. but she's afraid of something like thundering/lightening."
"yes, well... It is quite strange." Kurama said, turning The page of his book.
"Well Kurama! You're awfully calm about this!" Sakura told him.
"What would you like to me to do about it?" He looked up at her.
Sakura shrugged. "Hey! I know what we can do this weekend! As in tomorrow!"
"What, Sakura?" Briar asked.
"THE BEACH!"
"OOOH! That sounds like a fabulous idea!" Botan poofed into the room on her broom, floating by the window.
"DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" Sakura said, feeling as though she had almost had a heart attack.
Botan giggled. "Sorry!- But it is an absolutely wonderful idea!"
Sakura sighed and then smiled.
Jin was still laughing at how Botan had scared the hell out of Sakura.
"Hn. Why do you people insist on dragging me on these stupid, unimportant 'vacations'?" Hiei asked.
"Aw! Hiei! Come on! You know it's fun!" Sakura picked on him.
"Yeah! And we all know that you love and enjoy the time you spend with Kura!" Briar joined in on the picking on the fire demon.
Everyone in the room saw Hiei's face turn red with anger and embarrassment.
"Oh look! He's blushing!" Kurama added.
He growled and then walked out to the deck.
Everyone looked at each other.
"He'll be okay once he has some time to himself to think! Or do whatever it is that Hiei does when he's by himself." Sakura said, striking a thought in her head.
"I got dibs on Hiei probably sleeping when he's alone, since he doesn't do it around other people!" Yusuke said, then defending his head from a hit by Keiko.
"Maybe we should all go and start packing!" Botan brought up.
"Yeah. Botan's right. Come on Yusuke!" Keiko pulled Yusuke by his arm, out of the house.
Everyone else left, except for Sakura, Briar, Kurama and Hiei (and Kura who was sleeping).
After about an hour, everyone had met back up at Kurama's house. They all had their luggage. Luckily, Sakura had suckered Koenma and Botan into taking all the luggage to the beach house ahead of everyone else. "Luckily", there was a LOT of luggage! Boy were Koenma and Botan gonna have to find a way to get sweet revenge for that one.
"Maybe we should wake Kura up!" Sakura said, but she almost didn't say anything. She knew her best friend would kill her, though, if they didn't wake her up.
Hiei sighed and then went into the room, coming back out with Kura in his arms, still sleeping.
"She's so lazy!" Sakura giggled.
"SHHHH!" Briar put her fingers to her lips.
"Yeah yeah yeah." Sakura "pouted" for a moment then was back to her enthusiastic self.
"Come on. Let's go..." Kurama said, then they all went out to see everyone else waiting there: Chu, Rinku, Jin, Touya, Keiko, Yusuke, Yukina, Kuwabara, Kuronue, and Shizuru. "Alright everyone! Let's get ready to go!"
Briar giggled and said, "Everyone in the cars!"
They looked at three 4-wheel drive Durangos: a red one, a white one, and a black one. Kurama, Briar, Jin, and Sakura made their way to the red one, Hiei following with the sleeping Kura in his arms still. Kurama would be driving that one, Briar would be in the passenger's seat, Jin and Sakura were in the middle seat, and Hiei and Kura were in the back seat. In the white one, Kuronue was driving, Shizuru was in the passenger's seat, Yusuke and Kayo were in the middle seat, and Kuwabara in the back seat, all by his lonesome. In the black Durango, there was Touya driving, Yukina in the passenger's seat, Chu in the back seat and Rinku in the middle seat. After everyone was situated in the cars, they set out for the beach.
--In The Red Durango--
It had been about an hour and a half, the car was almost silent. Sakura and Jin's giggles and chuckles were to be heard about every ten seconds. Hiei, of course, was getting annoyed as he stared out the window at practically nothing. Kura, right beside of him, was still sleeping. She was leaning on him and he had one arm around her comfortably. Kurama and Briar were content with silence between each other.
--In the Black Durango--
The car ride, in the front of the vehicle, was pleasant. Touya and Yukina were making light conversation, which was more anyone could say about Chu and Rinku. Chu and Rinku were having a burping contest, which was utterly disturbing and nasty. Touya tried to get them to stop, but they didn't listen. Yukina just giggled at them. They're so interesting, but funny none-the-less. She thought as she smiled.
--In the White Durango which could also be called the HELL DURANGO for this situation--
Kuronue was keeping quiet, as was Shizuru. But...Yusuke and Kuwabara were goofing off and Kayko had to suffer it. After they had gotten over their laughing fest, they started talking almost like normal people.
"What's up with Hamster Legs and Kurama's sister?" Kuwabara asked.
Kayko didn't say anything, being thankful that there wasn't anymore adolescent acts being committed at the moment.
Yusuke shrugged. "I don't know... But they're acting really weird towards each other lately."
"yeah. And Sakura's sister and Kurama are acting weirder around each other too." Kuwabara added in.
"Heh. Yeah. I noticed that too!" Yusuke said, slipping one of his arms around Kayko's waist.
Shizuru turned around, having heard their conversation. "Did you guys ever think that it was because they're in love or something?" Then she turned back around.
Yusuke and Kuwabara thought, "Hmmmm..."
- Rest Stop -
Two hours later they all decided to make a stop at a gas station. As Kurama, Touya, and Kuronue refueled the vehicles, everyone else got out to a) use the bathroom b) stretch their legs or c) get food. Sakura, surprisingly passing the chance to go and get food, woke up Kura after Hiei had exited the vehicle with out doing so ((how rude!)).
"Rise and Shine Strawberry Shortcake!" Sakura said, shaking Kura.
Kura opened her eyes, yawned and then sat up. "Where are we?" She questioned, looking at her surroundings and then looking out the window.
Sakura giggled. "Oh yeah! We're going to the beach! You were sleeping so we just put you in the car and let you sleep!"
Kura looked at Sakura. "oh... Um.. okay.." She was still slightly confused on why they would just get the idea to going to the beach randomly. Then she remembered who she was thinking about. "What are we doing here? It's not the beach."
"We're taking a small pit stop!" Sakura grinned.
"Oh.. okay.." Kura fixed her pony tail so it looked neater. "Who else is riding in this car?"
"Oh. Hehe. Kurama's driving, my sister's sitting in the passenger's seat... Jin is in the middle with me... And.. Hiei is back their with you."
"Where'd he go?"
Sakura shrugged. "I dunno. He'll be back..."
"Yeah. I would hope so." Kura smiled.
"I know you do!" Sakura giggled.
"Oh shoosh!" Kura said with a slight glare.
Kurama, Briar, Jin, and Hiei got back into the car.
Kura scooted over to where she was now sitting behind Jin and Hiei beside of her behind Sakura.
"No torturing me Hiei!" Sakura joked.
"Hn." Hiei growled lightly. He looked to Kura for a moment. "You're finally awake."
Kura smiled and nodded.
"Everyone ready?" Kurama questioned all of the passengers. He heard a 'yes' (in some form or another) from everyone in the car then left the gas station, the other two vehicles following him.
Kura, with out words, leaned over and placed a kiss on Hiei's cheek.
Hiei, taken slightly be surprised, looked back to her. "What was that for?" He asked softly.
She just shrugged and continued to smile.
Jin and Sakura had seen it out of the corner of their eyes and were fighting themselves to stay quiet.
- Finally, at the Beach House -
Kurama pulled into the "drive way" after having to four-wheel drive over a sand highway. The others weren't that far behind. Once they pulled up, everyone else got out and joined Kurama, Briar, Sakura, Jin, Kura and Hiei. The house was a huge beautiful three story condo with beach front view, a pool, a jacussi, and a huge deck area.
Sakura and Jin were quick to go and "jump" into the ocean together. Kura hd a good laugh at that one. Botan and Koenma were on the 2nd floor deck waiting for everyone but relaxing at the same time.
After everyone finally came inside they got their rooms. After that everyone sort of did their own thing since it wouldn't be that long until dinner (It was, at the moment, 4:35 PM). Touya and Yukina took a walk on the beach with each other. Sakura and Jin changed into their swimsuits and hit the pool. Yusuke and Kuwabara went and had a sand fight in front of hte house, which was funny to watch because at one point Yusuke threw a huge hand-full of sand at Kuwabara and most of it went into his mouth. Kayko and Shizuru also went on a walk on the beach, the opposite direction of which Touya and Yukina had went. Kuronue had decided to lay in his room and go to sleep. Driving often made him very tired ((... random but okay...)). Kurama, Briar, Botan, and Koenma sat on the 2nd floor deck with each other, chatting.
Inside hte house Kura was journeying through the house trying to find the location of Hiei's room. ((:D... jk jk... Lordy! You people have such dirty minds! ) )). Finally, she found it. He was standing by the window watchoung Touya and his sister. Kura walked over and looked at the two also as they were on their walk. She coldn't help but smile. "they're so cute together!"
"I am still eerie of Touya..." Hiei let out.
"That's only natural sicne you two were enemies." Kura went adn sat down on the bed. She looked around the room. "Nice room. I bet you're glad that you hve it all to yourself."
Hiei was able to pry his eyes away from Touya and Yukina down on teh beach to look at Kura. "Let me guess... you and Sakura are sharing a room?"
"Yeah. We got the room with the bunks beds." Kura smiled.
"Ah. I see." Hiei said, leaning against the wall.
"Yeah.- I heard you totally opposed Touya and Yukina sharing a room."
"Yeah. I'm not too thrilled with that idea, so she's sharing a room with Shizuru I think." Hiei answered.
"That's very brotherly of you Hiei.- To worry like that about Yukina." Kura told him.
"Heh." Was Hieis' reaction.
Kura stood up and went to stand in front of him. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." He told her.
"Come on... What's bugging you?" Kura took hold of his hands in both of her's. "You can tell me anything."
Hiei looked into her emerald green eyes. "I..." He started, but then stopped to think to himself. How can I tell her?
"Please Hiei... Tell me... Is it about something I said?"
"Kind of." He lied. He wasn't sure how he should tell her what he exactly wanted to.
"O-okay..." She waited for him to continue.
"When you said that I was 'brotherly'... Did you really mean it?"
"Yes! I did! Yukina's happy that you're her brother! And I think your opposing her rooming with Touya showed her that you care that much about her." Kura told him then she squeezed his hands slightly.
He smiled very slightly. "Thanks."
"No problem." She told him. "So.. now what are we going to do? Everyone's out doing their own thing..." Kura let go of one of his hands but held onto the other.
He shrugged. "Kurama and his wife-to-be are out on the deck with KOenma and Botan."
"BUt they're all takling with each other. They'll talk for a while." ura smiled.
'Heh." A slightl laugh came from Hiei.
"Oh yeah! Thanks for bringing me back from the Spirit World this morning." Kura changed the subject as she walked over to the chair in the corner of the room by herself. She sat down adn faced Hiei as he looked to her.
"It was nothing."
Kura giggled. "Why did you come with us... To the beach I mean. You're not one who likes to have fun remember?"
"I wanted to..." Hiei started towards her. "I wanted to come with you... so you'd be happy." When he finished his sentence he bent down and placed a kiss on Kura's lips, taking Kura by surprised.
Kura was paralyzed for only a few seconds. A smile came back onto her face. Her eyes followed Hiei's as he returned to standing up straight. "Are you happy I came?"
"I'm very happy that you came Hiei." She confirmed.
"Good." He told her.
She rose to her feet. "I guess I'll go see what Sakura's up to.- I'll- I'll see you later right?" She asked even though she already knew that's he would. Before leaving she left a kiss on Hiei's lips then disappeared from the room.
Kura found her way down to the pool. Water had been splashed everywhere. She, actually, could believe that Jin and Sakura had been here. She sighed but with a smile. "Now where are they?" She asked herself.
"KURA!" She heard Sakura's voice. When she turned to look in the direction she felt cold water hitting her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! COLD! COLD! COLD!" She screamed. Next, she heard Jin and Sakura giggling. "SAAAAAAAAKUUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAAAA! JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" Kura screamed as the cold water from the hose continued to shoot at her.
"Uh oh!" Sakura said.
"OY!" Jin began running.
Sakura dropped the hose which started to spray every where and for it in the same direction as Jin.
Kura, being now soaked, heard screaming from the 2nd floor deck area where Botan, Briar, Koenma, and Kurama were now getting sprayed since the hose was flying in the air. Kura ran to the hose, grabbed it and turned the nozzle off.
"KURA!" Kurama called, seeming slightly annoyed.
"It wasn't me! Sakura and Jin sprayed me and then they dropped the hose while it was still on!" Kura yelled back before she began chasing after Jin and Sakura.
Yusuke and Kuwabara's attention was torn away from their sand fight after Sakura, Jin, and Kura nearly ran over Kuwabara. Kuwabara was knocked onto his butt. "What the hell is up with them?" Yusuke asked, not bothering to help Kuwabara up (as he got up on Kuwa' got up on his own).
"I dunno, but!" Kuwa' started. "We should plan something really good for Sakura! We've gotta get her back from the last time she got us!"
"yeah! But what or how?" Yusuke asked, trying to whipe hte sand off his face but just ended up adding more to his face since he had sand on his fingers and hands. "Hey! Why don't we wait 'till tomorrow when we're all gonna be on the beach? Then we'll burry her or something." Yusuke said, shrugging, and then he and Kuwabara made their way back up to the house.
"SAAAAAAAAAAAAKUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAA! GET BACK HERE!" Kura shouted as she stood on the shore watching Sakura and Jin who were about 10 yeards out, in the water.
Jin chuckled as he now floated above the water.
Sakura giggled for a moment, then realized that she had to sleep in the same room as Kura. "JIN! I have to sleep in the same room as Kura! I'm gonna be dead!"
Jin's chuckles just grew. "You'll live!" He told her then began to fly back to the house.
Sakura just stayed put; Kura still stood on the shore.
At about the same time Touya and Yukina were on their way back to the beach house. Touya had his arm around Yukina's shoulders. They stopped and stood by Kura. They looked out to see Sakura, just sitting/standing in the water.
"Uh.. Kura?" Yukina began. "What are you two doing?"
"Oh. Hi guys.- I'm waiting for Sakura to come out of the water. Jin adn herself thought it would be a wonderful idea to spray me with a water hose; So I chased them here..." Kura explained.
"And where's Jin?" Touya asked.
"He flew back to the house."
"Heh.- You realize that Sakura could change into her demon form and fly back to the house, right?" Touya spoke again, making Yukina giggle.
Kura slowly put a hand on her forehead and sighed. "Crap." And when she looked up Sakura was gone.
"Too bad. But hey! You two're sharing a room so just get her back then." Touya said as all three of them journeyed back to the house, only have a few minutes until dark.
For dinner Kuronue and Shizuru grilled hot dogs adn hamburgers for everyone. The deck was all lit up so everyone ate out there, together. After everyone finished and cleaned up, they headed inside. Anyone who wanted to watch movies had time to take a shower if they wanted to, which everyone did and get into their PJ's. They all met on the 3rd floor in the huge main living room (which had, like, eight pieces of furniture).
"Alright everyone!" Sakura stood in front of the huge t.v. "We're gonna have a Star Wars' Marathon!"
"Yay!" Kura siad, sitting in one of the (single-person0 recliners. She put up the foor rest and leaned back in the chair, getting comfortable. Kurama and Briar sat on the couch. Briar leaned against Kurama, Kurama's arm was around her shoulders and they had a blanket over them. Botan and Koenma sat together on the love seat. Touya and Yukina made it possible to seat two people in one recliner ( ). They too had a blanket over them. After Sakura had put in the dvd and turned off the lights, she fit with Jin in the 3rd recliner (. ). Yusuke and Kayko made themselves comfortable on a large bean bag chair in the floor. Yusuke wrapped his arms around Kayko as she leaned against his chest. Kuronue and Shizuru had decided NOT to watch the movie(s) so they didn't come; BUt they each didn't look like they wree in the best of moods and they were each in their own rooms alone. Of course, no one knew where he was nor what Kuwabara was up to.
Kura randomly looked around the room and said ( out loud, giggling and like she was high like me on the phone with Erica). "I'm the only one alone!"
Sakura giggled, her eyes glued to the screen. "it's okay!.. But where is Hiei-kins?"
"Don't call me that." Hiei appeared by Kura's recliner.
Sakura looked at him. "No touchie!" She returned her eyes to the screen.
"Welcome Hiei." Kurama said, actually paying more attention to the movie ("A New Hope").
"Wanna sit?" Kura asked him as she stood up (the chair still recling back).
Hiei nodded and sat down after removing his cloak. He moved over to allow enough room for Kura to sit with him. She climbed in the chair (Uncle Yu Yu was almost freaking out in his mind at this site.) and got situated. Hiei slid his arm around her waist and then Kura rested her head on his shoulder. They returned to watching the movie.
Around the corner of the doorway, Kuwabara was "hiding" there with a video camera in his hand. He turned it on, hit record, and starting, quietly, focusing the camera on all of the cuddlingness happening in the room. He focused mainly on Sakura and Jin, Touya and Yukina, and Kura and Hiei, even though he did manage to fet some shots of Yusuke and Kayko (for his amusement... it was quite funny to see Yusuke being "gentle" and "cuddly" for once.. lol). When it was time for the break between movie switching, he quickly made his way back to his room.
Everyone stayed in their spots exxcept for Sakura, Jin, and Botan. Sakura had to switch the dvd's ( to "The Empire Strikes Back" ); Jin went to get something to drink, and Botan just stood up to stretch.
5 minutes later Kura randomly goes, "You know what's funny?"
"What?" Sakura questioned as everyone else listened.
"I can definitely see Kuwabara bring Chewbaca."
"Ohmygod! I could too!" Sakura thought out loud.
Jin walked back in and sat down. Botan sat back down also. "Ready?" Sakura questioned; once she had confirmation from everyone she hit 'play', sitting back down.
- During a Darth Vader Scene -
"I love Darth Vader!" Kura grinned. Practically everyone looked at her. "We know Kura! And you love Hiei too!" Sakura answered.
"Yes! I know!" Then Kura looked at Hiei. "Don't worry Hiei! In real life, you're my Darth Vader!" And everyone laughed... even Hiei. Kura just looked at the t.v. Hiei palced a kiss on her temple which caused her to smile. Yusuke, seeing all of this, freaks out even more in his feeble little mind. .
"Hey!" A random Sakura threw in. "I just thought of something!- Kura. Hiei, and Yukina are short enough to be, like, a bunch of R2D2's!-- Or Ewoks!"
Yukina and Kura giggled. Hiei just 1/2 glared across the room.
"Oh Sakura! They're not that small!" Briar added.
"But we are small right? That's what you're implying." Hiei started, sounding bitter.
Briar: Sweatdrop "Eheh... Um.. Hiei? Let's just watch the movie, okie?"
Kura elbowed Hiei lightly in the side, indicating that he shouldn't say anything else and just watch the movie, which he did.
Finally, Sakura got up and put in "The Return of the Jedi". Everyone, but now, were quieting down. Half way through the movie, Kayko had fallen asleep and Yusuke had to fight himself not to move. Briar and Kurama, at about the same time, had decided to get up and go to their room to get some sleep.
"Please do try and get some sleep tonight girls." Kurama said, directing the comment to Sakura and Kura.
"We will bro'!" Kura said, very much interested in the movie even though she had seen it many, many, many times.
"THIS IS THE BEST PART!" Sakura yelled, mainly getting everyone's attention back on the movie.
A little earlier Yusuke had went to get popcorn and brought it back to the room... just for himself ((greedy bastard. ) but we love him! our uncle yu yu!)). At the end at the movie, he still had some left over. He moved Kayko off of him, gentle to not wake her. -Touya and Yukina got up. Touya escorted Yukina to her room and then headed to his own. Botan and Koenma left to their rooms also. It was just Yusuke, Kayko, Kura, Hiei, Sakura, and Jin now.-
Yusuke scooped up some popcorn and threw it at Kura and Hiei then he took another handfull and threw it at Sakura and Jin.
"YUSUKE!" Sakura and Kura practically yelled at him.
He grinned. "What?" He acted like he didn't do anything.
"You're sooooooooooooooooooo dead Urameshi!" Sakura threatened. Before she could get up Jin locked his arms around her. "HIN! LEmme go! Come on!" She whined.
"Nope!" Jin smiled, kissing Sakura's cheek.
"Aww! The poor snuggle-cuddle bunny Sakura can't get up!" Yusuke laughed.
Kayko was woken up and sleepily, yet painfully, hit Yusuke on the back of his head. "OW! Dammit!" Yusuke said as Kayko walked out.
Kura, Sakura and Jin laughed at Yusuke. He glared at them and then left, going after Kayko.
"You know, he's never gonna be able to keep her happy if he doesn't grow up!" Kura commented to everyone about Yusuke.
"He wont grow up, don't worry!" Jin said, helping Sakura out of the chair since it seemed to be trying to eat her.
Kura and Hiei just laid in the chair with each other, watching Sakura and Jin. Kura couldn't help but giggle at the site of her friend being "sucked into the chair".
"What?" Sakura asked blondly as she finally got to her feet.
"Nuuuuuuthiiiiiin'!" Kura giggled some more.
Hiei spat out a slight laugh.
Sakura, over-dramatically, spases out. "OH-MY-GOD! HIEI LAUGHED!" She ended the sentence with a grin.
Hiei rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"You guys..." Kura started, with a sigh and a smile. "We DO need to get some sleep... Tomorrow's gonna be fun!"
As she spoke Hiei got up and helped her out of the (comfy man-eating yet inanimate) chair.
"Yeah! BEACH TIME TOMORROW!" Sakura giggled, everyone following after her out of the living room.
"Oy, we should be quieter. Kurama and Briar and everyone else have already hit the hay for the night." Jin whispered.
"Yeah. Jin's right..." Kura said, then giggled and added, "For once!"
"OY! That's not funny there, lass!" (((couldn't help but use thise words! . ))) Jin replied, then they all parted at the stairs to their rooms. Jin and Sakura exchanged good-night kisses, as did Hiei and Kura.
"Night Hiei." Kura said, trying to decided whether to say something else or not.
"Night." Hiei told her, then he kissed her forehead and headed to his room quietly.
Kura looked back to Sakura and saw her friend holding in laughs.
"Nothing! But it's soooooooooo cute the way you and Hiei act around each other!" She finally let out as they reached their room.
Kura blushed. "Oh shoosh..." They entered their room and shut the door.
"I get top bunk!" Sakura shouted, then ran to jump onto the top bunk.
Kura just turned off the light and climbed under the covers on the bottom bunk which was slightly wider/bigger than the top bunk. "night Sakura!"
"Night Kura!-- Oh! Yeah... just ta letcha know.. You might get hit in the morning with a pillow a few hundred times!" Sakura said, crawling under her covers then nodding off. Kura laid on her back and then turned over to her side and nodded off. (((DREAM WORLD! WOOT!)))
The next morning was quite eventful. Everyone had woken about the same time, but not everyone got out of their beds at the same time. Sakura and Kura were awake, or at least Kura thought her top-bumped friend was awake.
"Sakura?" Kura slid out from under the top bunk a little and then was greeted by a pillow. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" After she "screamed" (not very loudly) she could hear Sakura giggling sleepily. "SAKURA! BAKA!" Kura got her own pillow and stood on the edge of the bottom bunk, simultaneously hitting her friend with her pillow. Instead of screaming or yelling Sakura was giggling. She, then, began hitting Kura back. A second later Kura had lost her balance and fell onto the floor. "OWWWWWIEEE! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME THAT FALLS OFF THE BEDS?" She whined sitting up.
Sakura just kept laughing even though she did feel sort of sorry for her friend... But it was funny!
Kurama came running up the steps and into the room. The first thing he say was Sakura laughing on the top bunk then he shifted his eyes down to see his sister on the floor. "What in the world is going on up here?" He asked, quite baffled by the two.
Kura stood up and faced him. "I.. er.. kinda fell off the bed... Eheh..."
"Is that all?" Kurama asked, not really stunned about what his sister had done.
"Oh hush!"
"Well.. I thought something might've attacked you or something..." Kurama said.
"Something did!" Kura said.
"What did?"
Kura pointed a finger at Sakura.
"HEY!" Sakura glared at her then she got off the bed.
"You two can get your own breakfast... we all had to.." Kurama told them as he lead them upstairs 3rd floor to the main kitchen.
"What did you guys have?" Sakura and Kura asked in unision.
"Pancakes and waffles." Kurama grinned.
"WHAT!" Sakura asked.
Kurama nodded.
"That's totally not fair!" Sakura pouted.
"Oooh! How about we walk somewhere?... Like that Diner in town!" Kura suggested.
"You two are gonna walk?" Kurama questioned.
"No! We can get someone to drive us! Or I could drive!" Kura smiled.
"Oh no, no, no... You've never driven a car in your life.."
"You're right bro!... Will you take us? Pwease?" Kura begged puppy-dogg face.
"No..." Kurama laughed. "... There's some left over pancakes in the microwave.." He exited.
"Very funny..." Kura grumbled as she watched Sakura quickly go to the microwave.
THE BEACH ( out in front of the house )
Yukina, Shizuru, Botan, and Kayko were sitting on their towels in a horizontal line on the sand, chatting with each other. Jin, Touya, Rinku, Chu, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were "playing" in the water (acting quite like the adolesecnt boys that they truly are at heart). Sakura was walking along the shallow water watching and laughing at Jin and the rest of the boys. Kurama and Briar were walking on the beach together. Kura and Hiei were still inside doing who knows what hehe.. i know it shounds perverted.. but they're not doing anything like that... .
"Come on Hiei! PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!" Kura begged him as she tried to pull him out of the door to the "out side world".
"Why?" Hiei continued to ask her.
"Because! We're going to have fun--- and-- you-- are-- coming-- too!" She still tried to pull him out onto the deck.
He resisted. "Why must I?"
"Becuase I said so! Now pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?" Kura stopped trying to pull him outside but still held onto his arm lightly.
Hiei didn't react for a moment then said, "No."
"HIEI! You're soooo mean to me!" Kura whined.
"I know." Hiei told her with a neutral look on his face.
Kura continued to pout. They stood in the doorway for about 10 more minutes; Kura still latching onto Hiei's right arm. "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?" She finally asked again.
Hiei sighed. This is so useless... "Fine. What ever..." He growled.
"YAY! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She told him, a kiss between every 'thank you', then they walked onto the sandy beach and headed towards everyone else. Kura had let go of Hiei's arm finally.
Just before they reached everyone else Hiei turned to Kura and stoped her in her place. "You do realize that Yusuke and just about everyone else are going.. crazy because they don't know about... us... Right?"
Kura smiled. "Hiei... come on...- What? Do you want me to just, like... announce it to everyone? - I don't.. I mean, I'm glad we're together but... I don't eactly want everyone to know.. at least not yet... " Kura maintained her smile. ".. Why? Does it bother you?"
Hiei shook his head. "I just.. didn't know if you realized it or not.."
Kura giggled. "I realized it.. Last night Yusuke was freakin' out when we were all watching 'Star Wars'." The two began walking to the rest of their friends.
Walking (Briar and Kurama)
"Kurama...?" Briar began. "How many people know about our engagment?"
Kurama sighed. That's a good question.. "I'm not sure...- I think my sister, your sister, and Hiei are the only ones that know..."
"Oh... I thought your sister would've told Yusuke... and Kayko.. and Jin.. along with everyone else.."
"Come on, she's not like that. She knows when she should keep quiet about something." Kurama told her.
"Sorry." Briar sighed. "I know that she's not like my sister... My sister has a huge mouth!"
Kurama let out a laugh. "Yes that is true."
"How many of us know about Hiei and your sister?" Briar asked.
"Well, aren't you just full of questions today!" Kurama said.
"Come on Kurama-chan.. how many?"
"You, your sister, Jin, and myself... Everyone else just thinks that Hiei and her are 'really good friends'." Kurama explained.
Briar's jawed dropped. "Four people? -- Well, that's excluding the two themselves."
"Yeah." Kurama said to her, then they carried on about the matter as they resumed their walk.
Back with Everyone else, at their spot on the beach
All the girls were sitting on their towels which were spread out underneath the 3 huge umbrellas that were set up. The boys were now 'playing in the sand' ((i love making this sound like toddlers are in it! it's so much fun!)) out in front of the spot.
Yusuke had an idea pop into his head. He smirked then grab a hand full of sand. He found a target after searching through his friends. Heh heh heh.. you're going down! He thought as he stared at his opponent. It was Jin! ((muwahahaha.. must torture someone besides Kuwa' every now and then! . )) Yusuke threw the hand full of sand at Jin. The sand hit his head and got all in Jin's hair and face.
"Urameshi!" Jin said, now floating in the air.
"It wasn't me! I swear! It was totally Kuwabara!" Yusuke said, actually kind of convincing.
Jin eyed Yusuke and then got some sand, chucking it at Kuwabara. The sand went down Kuwa's back adn into his swimming trunks.
"WHAT THE HELL---?" Kuwabara instantly said as he felt the sand.
Everyone got a kick out of Kuwabara chasing Jin, but the thing that was even funnier was the fact that Jin just floated above Kuwabara to where he couldn't reach him. Kuwabara was like a cat trying to reach the string someone's dangling above him.
Kura and Sakura got the biggest kick out of it, along with Yusuke.
At about 4:00 PM everyone was started to settle down. Botan, Shizuru, Kayko, and Yukina had returned inside only an hour behind hand while Kura, Sakura, and Briar were the only three girls left. They were stuck with the boys; but they didn't mind three of them.
"So... what are we going to do for dinner?" Briar randomly goes.
"Um... we should go out to eat!" Sakura suggested. "Ya know... hit the town!"
Kura smiled.
"Depends.. would you two be hyper-active and go all crazy on us if we did go into town?" Briar questioned.
"I probably wouldn't..." Kura started but didn't finish the rest of her sentence which would've been 'if Hiei is going with us...'.
"I WILL!" Sakura assured them both.
"I figured as much.." Briar said, just shaking her head.
"Hey look! Kuwabara's just been picked up by a squid!" Kura pointed out.
The two looked to see Kuwabara flailing his arms and legs around as a giant Squid had hold of him out in the water.
Yusuke as, litereally, rolling on the ground laughing his ass off.
After about 10 minutes of Kuwabara screaming "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! SOMEONE! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! URAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEESHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! SOOOOOOOOOOOMEOOOOOOOOOOONE!"
"Alright, alright. Don't get your panties in a twist." Yusuke said, his attitude seeming a but more serious. He lifted his index finger and thumb; aiming it for the Squid's "head/body". "SPIRIT GUN!" He shouted as a huge blast of Spirit Energy left his and hit the Squid. It caused the Squid to fly back, but dropping Kuwabara before hand.
Kuwabara came out of the water. "That... was... not... funny..." He said, out of breath.
"Of course it was, ya big baby." Yusuke slapped him on the back.
They stayed at the beach for about a week, having fun! Hell, even Hiei actually got in on some of the fun.. but that was because Kura MADE him do it... ((XD XD persuasion... lol...)). As soon as they got into the cars to head back home Kura realized something. "CRAP! Bro! We've missed like... 15 days already this year! We're gonna be soooo behind in school!" "Relax... I'll help you if you need any help catching up.." Kurama smirked. "Hey! I've out done you in grades many times.. I sure as hell don't need your help.." She pouted as she sat back in her seat next to Hiei. Briar and Kurama, in the front portion of the car, just laughed at her; then the trip home began.
