Hey guys! ^-^

Sooooooo, this is not the exact chappie I promised you all, BUT its a coming soon! I still have some tweeking to do and so I decided to give you guys a little something beforehand. {So please don't hurt me!} ~

Oh, I almost forgot,

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Yu Yu HAKUSHO OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN IT. (However, everybody else present within the story (Kiara, Rika, Rio, etc…) are my original characters.)

AND

There happens to be and will be (in the near future) mature content (a.k.a lime and lemons). SO IF NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, DON'T READ MY STORY. KEEP YOUR INNOCENCE! (Hahaha LOL ^-^) ALSO, you should be made aware that there is profanity in this chapter and in all the other chapters that follow it.

So now that everything is said, ON TO THE STORY! ^-^

ENJOY!

Meant to Be

Previously on Meant To Be…

Letting out a great gush of air, she slowly dialed the number, brought the phone to her ear, and waited for the ringing on the other line.

It rang twice before he said, "Are you going to hang up on me before I say hello or after?"

Chapter 11: "Telephone Call"

Groaning inside her head, Kiara apologized, severely. "Oh my goodness! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! I truly didn't mean to do that-"

"Twice?" Kurama teased, smiling lightly on the other end of the line.

She could have cried just then. Seriously shed a bucket load of tears.

...How embarrassing!...

"Shuichi, I so deeply apologize for my rash behavior. I was just so frantic and so unsure of what to say and—"

"Miss Ashitaka, it's—"

Completely ignoring him, she continued on. "—before I knew it my thumb had magically found the end button on my cordless phone..."

"Miss Ashitaka?"

"...and instead of your voice on the other end, I was greeted by the horrifyingly, dreadful dial tone, which then caused me to-"

"Kiara." Kurama uttered, successfully grasping her attention due to the quiet silence on the other end of the receiver, her endless tirade terminated. "It's fine, really. I completely understand."

Shaking her head vigorously as if he could see her, she protested. "No! You can't. What I did was truly unforgivable!"

...Did she just tell you that you could not understand?!... Youko inquired, lightly amused.

...Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that statement...

Aiming to reassure her, Kurama said, "Kiara. I assure you it's okay. I'm not angry with you at all. Actually, I became worried if anything."

Her brows creased at the center of her forehead. "Worried?"

"Yes. This morning when you left you were quite…depressed due to the argument that transpired between you and your friend, remember?"

"Yes, yes! How could I forget." She quickly replied, her unease hidden by sarcasm. Kiara remembered the argument this morning quite well. This much she was sure of. But the time in between her argument and heading to her next…it was a blurr. Did something transpire between them?

Smiling at the sarcasm in her voice, Kurama continued, "But I see my worrying was in vain."

Before she could take back her outburst, she yelled, "What? Why?!"

Smirking, Kurama responded, "Wasn't your friend the one who just called leaving me such a lady like message?"

She cringed. …RIKA! I WILL KILL YOU!...

Kiara began to apologize again. "O. M. G. I apologize sooooooo deeply for her rudeness-"

"There's no need. Like I said before. It's fine. I'm just glad to see you two are on good terms once again."

Not sure what to think, she uttered the only thing that came to mind, "Thank you." And what a 'thank you' that was. So much emotion was secretly entwined within it, though that was completely and utterly accidental. She did not mean to do so and that, my friends, scared her shitless. The unpredictability that came with being around him or even just hearing his voice was too much.

Nope. She wasn't going through with this. There would be no tutoring this night or any other night with this man.

"Your quite welcome, Kiara...However, I would like to tutor you in exchange for hanging up on me twice.weverHH"

What?

…HE'S GOT TO BE FLIPPING YANKING MY CHAIN RIGHT NOW! Because, yes, yes, I know I was calling him just for this, but the fact that he's using this against me…ugh…Lord, whyyyyyy! Why are You letting him torture me soooooooooooo!..whaaaaaaaa!...

"But…But I thought you said—"

"Yes. I did accept your apology. You are correct." He grinned with playful mischief. "But, I've somewhat changed my mind."

Holding the phone with both hands for dear life, she argued, "You can' just change your mind like that on a whim."

"I can't?" Pure innocence reflected in his voice.

"NO!" She answered in an incredulous manner. "You changing your mind gives me false security!"

Silence reached her ears. He said nothing in reply. And it creeped her out for a good minute. But then he spoke and she wished he never did.

"So do you wish that I not tutor you?"

His voice, dammit! That voice. It held tid bits of sadness within it as if he was actually upset she was denying him so.

This couldn't be, that she was sure of, but…

…Damn! Damn! Damn! The Guilt factor! Oh how I detest you so!...

Sighing like an old woman of 94 years, Kiara responded. "No, no it's not that at all…"

…Who am I kidding? It so is!...

Ignoring her thought, she continued, reluctantly. "I'll be at your place in a bit."

…Why was I born with a conscience? Seriously!...

"Then, I'll be waiting." If that didn't sound stalkerish then she didn't know what did anymore. Maybe she should rethink this through…again.

Remembering something, he added, "Oh but, will this be okay, in regards to your friend? If another argument will rise, then forget about—"

Oh, she was so tempted. So tempted to say that Rika would blow a fuse if this was brought up again. But…

...She's a betrayer! A betrayer, I say!...

"No, she'll be fine with it…to some degree…"

Laughing lightly, Kurama replied, "Alright. Do you have a pen and paper?"

"A pen and paper? For what?"

…This woman….

Smirking, he answered, "To write down my address. Don't you need it to come over?"

"Oh yes, yes, yes! Sorry! Hold on. Gimme a sec." Searching her room for some sort of writing utensil, Kiara finally found one in plain sight on her desk table.

Figures.

Picking it up, she said, "Okay, I'm ready." Once she scribbled his address on the back of the paper with his number, she finished, saying, "Great, so I will be there shortly. Thank you."

"Anytime, Kiara. See you soon. Goodby—"

"No!...Oh shoot! Dammit! No!...I-I mean, yes, but no!..Ughhh, dammit! Just…yeah what you said!"

She hung up.

Well damn.

What just happened?

…What just happened cannot be explained. She's crazy you know. You're bringing a crazy one over to our home. Good luck to you human. Good luck… Youko chuckled.

Smirking, Kurama shook his head, turning his phone off. Placing it on the coffee table, he said, "This is going to be one interesting night."

Silently, Kiara placed her phone on her desk next to his address, a look of horror on her face.

…I just…No, I didn't…..OH HOLY LAMB, I DID! I just hung up on him again!...

Coming up the stairs, Rika entered her room, asking, "Did you get the addres—"

"WHY ME!?" Kiara yelled to the heavens, plopping herself on her bed while on the verge of tears.

"I guess that's a yes." Rika uttered, bracing herself to fight with a highly resistant Kiara, who she knew would rather play with spiders—by the way, Kiara absolutely abhors spiders—then get tutored by Shuichi Minamino at this point.

Oh well. Too bad. She was going to get ready and leave her apartment, willingly or not. Rika would make sure of it.

So!

I know, I know, I know. I give you all permission to yell at me! Hehe! LOL!

This chappie was put here for one purpose. And one purpose only. To be a tease!

The reason…well I haven't given you guys anything in so long and I know you're all dying to know more. And I'm currently tweeking the upcoming chappie, which is a serious one! I'll be posting that one soon. So wait for me!

I just wanted to say THANK YOUUUUUU all for sticking with me so far. And especially those who have REVIEWED! I seriously appreciate it!

Hehe! ^-^
