Happy For Her?
Kurama
finds out that Shiori is getting married, and he's delighted at the
news. Until he gets wind of a few rumors about his mother's
fiancee...and he's prepared to go to any lengths that it takes to
break the two up. (Featuring Hiei as his partner in crime,
no-yaoi...unless you want it)
Setting: Sometime (what time,
who knows, doesn't really matter) around the Chapter Black
arc.
Disclaimer: ...Yeah...er...uh...I don't own Yu Yu
Hakusho...yeeeesireeeBob...I don't...nope...it's, not, mine...
Thank
You To All That Reviewed Chapter Eight! (ForgottenKaze, LeFoxy, s,

Initial Notes: First of all, I switch out between Aiyoku and Hatanaka in this chapter a lot, there's no difference, though. Second of all, I just now realized that Kurama's human name is spelled with two I's and not with two U's. Sorry for the mistake, folks! I AM QUITE SORRY BECAUSE THIS IS QUITE SHORT...

" Frozen "
The weather atop the mountain they were currently situated upon was cold. Freezing cold. Snow flurried around them in large piles. Piles and clumps big enough to knock over nearly anyone. Nearly any ningen. Shuichi had fallen at least thrice and Hatanaka had just taken his first fall. Kurama, the only youko and youkai of the group, continued on without so much as a single stagger despite the icy winds that whipped away at his face.
"This is it," Hatanaka sang, pointing at a humble cabin off the side of an also iced over road. It was just icy enough for Shuichi to slip on, taking Hatanaka down with him. The pair laughed for a few seconds before the buttocks numbed. Kurama guessed that they were just about glued to the ice, along with their gloves and the tips of their scarves. The duo tried tugging at their attachments before they called for Kurama's helped, who eventually obliged. He helped Shuichi first, it was best to let Hatanaka suffer as long as possible.
In fact, it was Shuichi that reached for Hatanaka's hand first. The young boy was smiling and still giggling. Once Hatanaka was off of the ground, he began to laugh uncontrollably. Their breaths circled around them in the cold snow. Kurama shook his head, not even wanting to know what the hell they'd thought was so funny.
"Race ya to the cabin, S-Man!" Shuichi yelled, running his hardest towards the old and shambled cabin. Luckily, the snow had thinned out so Shuichi didn't trip it on it. Instead he tripped on a large sheet of ice and went barreling towards the cabin in screams. It seemed to ages for the kid to hit the door and fall to the ground. Ages.
Kurama, who hadn't been interested in the competition, ran ahead to give his step brother another helping hand. Hatanaka had rushed up as well, but Kurama had tripped him with a conveniently placed large branch. Well, it wasn't convenient to Hatanaka, but at least the youkai didn't know it was him.
Finally, the trio found themselves situated inside of the cabin. The cabin didn't provide as much warmth as Shuichi and Hatanaka had hoped. Their teeth were still chattering as they extended their hands over a near ice-cube fire. Their breath was still visible as it collided with the cold air. These kind of temperatures may have seemed ideal for Koreem, but not for the ningen Shuichi or the ningenfied youkai Aiyoku.
"Daaaaad,"
Shuichi whined, "how come we're camping in the mountains when
it's snowing?"
Hatanaka scratched his chin and said,
"Technically, we're not camping. We're in a cabin. Not a
camp."
Shuichi whined for several more minutes and leaned
against Kurama, who was on his right. Kurama had his back towards
Shuichi and Aiyoku. He sighed. He was cold, too. So cold. Yet he
ignored it. The hatred for Hatanaka had begun to ice over his Youko
heart weeks ago... What else was there to be numb about?
Kurama began to
plot.
We're in a cabin in the mountains. There's no one here
to find his body. I could take a walk with him and let my rose whip
have a go. If only I had a Death Tree seed with me. That'd really
make my day... I'll just lie and say a few lions got at him. But
then again, if plans could be that simple, why haven't I already done
this? Aiyoku is more powerful then I believe. The last I heard, he
was either an upper B or lower A class demon. My strategical
thinking may have given me the upperhand but it isn't wise to
underestimate him.
And what would Shuichi think? Is Shuichi
Aiyoku's son? Most likely yes. Aiyoku may have thought more of me
then I suspect that he does. Maybe he does know that I am
Youko Kurama. But that's impossible. How could Shuichi serve as a
distraction for myself? Is Aiyoku underestimating me due to this
ningen body? No. If he's any opponent at all, he'll have done his
research. So he doesn't know, does he?
Wait a second. A few days
ago, at dinner. Shuichi said he's heard some of my friends call me
Kurama before. I'll have to look into that... Has Shuichi told
Aiyoku or not? I've got more to do than I thought before...
All
plans are put on hold.

Please review
(Note: I'm very sorry. didn't have the options to put enough emphasis on the word "sorry" as I wanted them to. I can't promise you an update time, but I'm pretty close to swearing that I'll finish this before I post anything else new. This story is number one on my agenda. Weeeeell, actually it's number two, but in this fandom it's definitely number one. Again, I am very sorry. Expect another udpate.
