Fae Black! You are awesome! You were right though. The Kuwabara one did reject the chip.
Time and Fate, I am honored that you hold my work in such high esteem.
Yes, it is a Sam-Hiei pairing. Mainly, because my friend, off whom the character Sam is based, is a Hiei fanatic. It's only appropriate. Besides. I'll make sure there are plenty of road bumps for them though…
Kitsunai, you know I have a Hiei fic, right? Though I haven't updated it. Writers block for that story. And it's not going away like this one's is.
Writers Block Status: Nearly gone!
Hiei- (looks down) Road bumps. Not mountains.
(Giggles) Pink.

Pink and Fluffy Objects and Truth or Dare
Everyone was in a circle, waiting for her to sit down.
Reluctantly, she did, between Sam and Kurama.
Everyone took a can, and Botan began.
"I never…ate a chicken whole!"
No surprise when no one took a drink.
"Okay, Koenma's turn."
"I have never won at any sort of physical fight."
All four of the boys, Kassandra, and Samantha took a drink. Keiko might have as well, but no one was quite sure.
"Yukina, your turn."
"Um…I have never…been to a bar."
In shock everyone watches as Koenma took a drink. If any one else did, no one noticed they, were still staring in shock at Koenma.
"Kazuma, your turn."
"Uh…lets see now…I never died."
Yusuke glared at Kuwabara and took a drink. Kurama looked like he was deciding whether or not Youko's near death counted. He decided it didn't.
"Keiko, your turn!"
"Well let's see. I've never gotten a grade lower than a B on my report card in my life."
Yusuke and Kuwabara both took drinks, as well as a disgruntled Kassandra.
Kurama looks over at her, a little surprised.
"What? The teacher depended more upon reading logs and assignments rather than your comprehension. I've never been good at filling things out. Yusuke, your turn."
"I've never been skinny dipping."
With a sigh, Botan, Koenma, and Kuwabara all took a sip of their soda.
Kassandra cocked an eyebrow, but said nothing, as did Keiko and Kurama.
"Kurama, your turn."
"Hmm…in my human life, or Youko's?"
"Both. Or either."
"I have never…wow…there isn't much. I have never jumped off a cliff"
Sam took a nice long drink.
Kassandra stared for a long while, and then realized it was her turn.
"Lets see. I have never been drunk."
Yusuke and Kuwabara look at each other and sighed. Then they both took long sips. To her surprise, Koenma, Hiei, and yes folks, Kurama all did the same.
"What the- Kurama!"
"Youko."
"Oh. Right. For some reason I can see him doing that."
"Okay then, Sam's turn."
"Well…. lets see…. I have never hijacked a stroller from Disney World and ran around the park with it like a maniac while singing 'Wheels on the Bus' when I was only 6"
Kassandra glared heavily at Sam.
"You have an insanely long memory, do you know that?"
Sam nods.
"Yup! Now take a drink."
That last bit was a command, not a suggestion.
Kassandra sighs and takes a long sip.
Every single person in the room stared.
"What? There was something in the cotton candy…"
Everyone kept staring.
"WHAT?"
"Nevermind, Hiei's turn."
"Ooo…. what deep dark secrets does Hiei harbor that are about to be revealed?" Sam teased. Kassandra jumped. Sam had been unusually quiet. She was plotting something. Kassandra knew it.
Hiei glared at the demon girl sitting next to him.
"Hn. I've never worn anything pink."
Kassandra watched as a demonic grin spread across Sam's face.
Suddenly, a pink fluffy-
Well, a pink fluffy-
I'll try that again.
A pink fluffy cardigan appeared. And it was being worn by…Hiei!
A look of revulsion and disgust, mixed with…was that fear?
Whatever it was, it crossed his face and it stayed there.
Hiei scrambled to his feet and tried fervently to get the fluffy object off. Worse than being fluffy, it was pink AND fluffy.
Could it get any worse?
Sam had an answer to that.
"Oh…. but it looks lonely…. lets add…. a pink fluffy hat!"
The said hat appeared out of thin air, and dropped lightly on top Hiei's anti-grav hair.
The horror spread across his face again as he tried to grab the hat.
But it dodged his frantic grabs.
"No, No! Get it off!"
"Is Hiei asking for help?"
"I think so."
"Do we help him or not?"
Sam turned her attention to the humans instead of her screaming, writhing victim.
"If you touch him, I will make your worst nightmares a reality."
"What do you mean by that, small fry!"
Sam glared and transmitted a series of images to them. One was of a giant talking sock puppet, while another of a giant frog whose ribbit echoed loudly through out the confines of their minds. Among other things that will not be listed.
Both humans screamed and decided firmly not to help Hiei. It wasn't worth it.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Hiei again. This really was torturing him
"Sam, quit it! You'll traumatize him for life!" Kassandra yelled.
"And?"
"That's not good…."
"It isn't?" Sam answered, as if this concept were entirely new to her,
"No. It's not."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Remove the fluffy pink objects of torture from our slightly gothic friend."
"I'm not GOTHIC! AHHHHHHH!"
"No."
"SAM!"
"Not unless you all promise me one thing!"
"What?"
"We'll play whatever I want to for the rest of the day…"
"What do you want to play?"
"That's a surprise…and it's subject to change with out notice."
"Uh…no…"
"Then the pink fluffy objects of torture stay."
"Ech…. fine, we'll play whatever game it is you want…"
"Yay!"
The pink fluffy objects disappeared.
Hiei froze as he realized the pink fluffy objects were gone. He settled down on the far side of the room.
As far away from Sam as was possible.
Sam giggled and settled down herself.
"So…let's play…. Truth or Dare!"
Groans spread across the room, but for Hiei's sake, they all agreed to play.
However, a nasty surprise was in store for poor Kassandra.
The silver mist surrounding the area should have been her first clue. But Kassandra was too busy trying to figure out how she was going to get away with NOT playing this game.
Though when the kitsune pulled her right next to him, she kind of figured it out.
"Hello Kassandra."
Kassandra winced.
"Hi Youko."
"You don't sound too happy to see me."
"Eh…I'm…well…"
"Nevermind…"
He looked around.
"Oh…look! The whole gang's here!"
"Youko…"
"Yes, Kassandra?"
"What are you doing out?"
"Simple. I forced Shuuichi inside."
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to have some fun."
"Ooooookay…"
Kassandra looked at her waist to see if there was an easy way out of this.
There wasn't. He had her fair and square, and tightly. Again.
"Lets play!"
Once everyone had settled down in a circle, Sam decided to start, with herself.
"Okay then…Truth of Dare…Koenma."
"Dare."
"I dare you to surrender your stamp!"
"Done."
Koenma let the stamp fall and Sam caught it. However after that it disappeared from sight.
"That's a relief. I can't do any work until I get that thing back. Oh right. Truth or dare, Yukina."
"Me? Um…truth."
"How old are you?"
"I'm not exactly sure anymore…"
"Darn."
"Truth or Dare, Kassandra?"
"Truth."
"Have you ever been kissed?"
"Nope!"
-- I can fix that! --
Go away! It's bad enough your being so freakin'…what's the word?
-- Possessive? --
No! You don't own me, so you can't be possessive!
--Domineering? --
That's the same thing, you dork!
--True…but I'm not a dork! Kuwabara is a dork. I'm…special…--
Uh-huh…Okay…get your "special" thoughts out of my head. Before you contaminate me.
-- Ahhh, now that burns…. --
It should. So high tail it out of here!
-- Fine! I'll go somewhere where I'm wanted! --
He navigated his way to Kasumi's mind room.
-- Kasumi --
Eh?
-- I'm out! --
You are?
--Yes I am. --
Yay! Now how do I get out?
--Force Kassandra in –
But I don't know…-- Or you can wait until she gets a lot of sugar into her system. Then it'll be easier. --
How close is she to that?--Pretty close. --
I'll wait until her sugar levels go up to try then.
--Kay then. See you in a bit! --
Yup.
Youko leaves the girls mind.
Now for his turn.
Kassandra looks around.
"Botan, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to…help me get Youko off of me!"
Youko looks a bit disappointed.
"Do you hate me that much?"
"No. Botan, please?"
Botan stands up, but she doesn't have to work very hard to get Kassandra free. Youko let go.
This surprised Kassandra. He looked genuinely dejected.
She felt a little guilty now. Ah well, she'd make it up to him.
However Botan felt guilty too, and changed the course of the game.
"Alright, Youko, Truth or Dare."
"Dare."
"Hmm…I dare you to-"
She walked over and whispered the rest of it into his ear, making it twitch.
"Okay, okay…"
Youko got up and left to the kitchen.
"What did you dare him to do?"
"You'll see."
Youko showed up on the same side of the room as Hiei. Actually, he passed right behind him.
Youko was seated back where he was supposed to before anyone realized what he'd done. The first one to realize it was Hiei.
The fire apparition jumped up and down like a maniac.
Everyone started laughing, although Youko settled with a smirk.
"What…did…you…do?" Sam asked between giggles.
"I slipped a piece of ice down his back."
Kassandra turned to stare at him.
"How big of a piece?"
"Oh… Good sized…"
"Why doesn't he just melt it?"
"He's on sugar. His brain isn't quite as functional as it usually is. He'll get there eventually though."
"Okay…good…"
Sure enough, Hiei figured out that burning the ice would be a lot better than trying to get it out.
When he did, he sat down and glared heavily at Youko, who leaned back in a defensive gesture.
"Hey, I didn't ask to do it. It was the blue haired ones idea!"
"Hn."
"My turn. Kassandra…Truth or dare?"
"If I pick dare will you leave me alone?"
"Of course!"
"Fine. Dare."
Everyone stared at her. Was she crazy?
She was beginning to think she WAS.
"I dare you to…. eat a pint of ice cream."
Now everyone was staring at Youko. This was unexpected from him.
Kassandra recovers and shrugs.
"Okay then."
Maybe I can trust him…
She entered the kitchen and found a pint of rocky road, and a pint of rum raisin, and mint chocolate chip along with a bunch of other flavors she couldn't see.
"You guys sure have a lot of ice cream!" she calls into the living room.
Yusuke calls back. "Hiei is sugar obsessed. But it could be worse."
"It could? How so?"
"He could threaten us until we bought him his sweet snow."
"True. Any particular flavor I have to eat?"
"Which ever one. But you have to eat it all."
Kassandra shrugs and grabs the mint chocolate chip. It was Breyers, and it looked good.
She grabs a spoon from the drawer and walks back into the living room.
The shiny spoon digs into the carton. White flecked with tiny bits of chocolate comes out.
"Nummy."
Cream, mint, and chocolate all at once. What's not to love?
The rest of it soon followed.
Kassandra set the carton aside and smiled.
"My turn. Kuwabara, truth or dare?"
"I'm no chicken! Dare!"
Kassandra looked over at Samantha, pleased to see a demonic grin spread across her face.
One was quickly spreading across her own.
They had always planned something like this.
She got to be the one to initiate it though.
"I dare you, Kazuma Kuwabara, to kiss Yukina."
Silence fell like a thick blanket.
Everyone was either staring at Kassandra, or staring at Hiei wondering for his reaction.
His reaction was a death glare that could have killed an ogre, a troll, a dragon, and an elephant without stopping, then still explode with the force of an atomic bomb.
Needless to say, he wasn't happy.
Kuwabara looked a bit uncomfortable, then he kissed the shocked Yukina.
Now all attention went to them, then it went to Hiei.
Kasumi saw this the perfect time to come out. No one noticed the electric mist, not even Youko. He was preparing to restrain the fire demon is necessary.
However, as soon as Kuwabara pulled away from his sister, Hiei regained his composure, though he was still fuming inwardly.
"Well then." Kasumi piped up.
Everyone jumped and stared at her.
"When did you come out?" Youko asked surprised.
"About 15 seconds ago."
"Really?"
"Yup. And actually, I'm quite hurt no one noticed me come in." She actually sounded hurt.
"Any way I can make it up to you?"
"One..."
He smirks. He'd be glad to oblige.
"Not now though. The time isn't right."
He pouted. Yes, Youko pouted.
"Why not?"
"You'll see."
Kuwabara stopped staring at them and finally came to his senses.
"Okay, my turn...Youko, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth,"
"Oh...is the big bad fox afraid?"
"No. I just don't feel like getting up right now."
"Who said my dare would make you get up?"
"Truth."
"Fine. Did you plan to get Kassandra sugar high?"
"Yes."
--- So you are responsible... ---
-- I didn't know she'd ask him to do that! --
--- Sure, fox, sure ---
-- You're the Jaganshi! You should know if I'm lying or not! --
--- I do. And I know a lot of other thoughts of yours I didn't want to know ---
-- Which ones? --
--- One word: Kasumi ---
-- Oh. --
--- Hn. ---
The fire demon left the fox's mind. He didn't need that on his conscience.
Because it was the fox's turn now.
"Let's see...oh tough choice...Kasumi, truth or dare?"
"I could torture you and say truth, but I'm not going to. Dare."
Everyone murmured slightly. Things along the lines of, Is she crazy? She must be. Youko and a pretty girl, who just said dare. Not good for her. Maybe the Sugar is affecting her judgment. She probably doesn't know what she's doing.
However, Kasumi was not crazy, and she knew exactly what she was doing.
Youko smirked, and patted his lap. Kasumi shrugs and takes a seat.
Both of them could hear the murmurs acutely. One advantage to large ears like theirs.
Large smirks crossed both faces, as Kasumi made herself comfortable.
Lets take a look at Shuuichi and Kassandra, shall we?
Kassandra, after finding herself tossed back into her mind room, resorted to grumbling.
Then she got a wonderful idea.
She maneuvered through the hallways and stopped at Kasumi's room. She opened the door and treaded through the mess. Where to start?
The closet. She'd never seen the inside of the closet before...
She waded her way to the door. It was locked.
"Of course."
She starts to look around for the key. It had to be there somewhere.
Kurama was looking around, also relatively bored.
Who wouldn't be? He'd read all the books, and he'd already gotten tired of sifting through all the knowledge in the library. He practically was the librarian!
Theirs had mysteriously disappeared a couple of years ago. Never found him.
Kurama had a flash of an evil, yet perfectly inspired, idea.
He headed toward Youko's room.
Kassandra meanwhile, had found what looked like a key. She waded back to the door and inserted it into the lock. It stuck. The darn thing stuck!
Kurama was not surprised to find he'd have to wade through a mess to get anywhere in the room. However, there was an open door that seemed to look safe enough. Good spot to plan his next move from.
He headed there, but as soon as he entered the door closed behind him. But now there was one in front of him. He starts pounding on it.
Now there was pounding coming from behind the door.
"Alright, I'm opening it! Gosh…no need to pound so hard."
She turns the key in the lock and yanks the door open. A bewildered somebody tumbles in.
Kurama had given up pounding and had been leaning against the door. Then, the door opened up from the other side, and he went falling through.
Right on top of somebody.
"Oh. Hi Kassandra."
"Hello Kurama. Any idea how this happened?"
He was lying on top of her, and she was blushing furiously, though she was trying to act like she wasn't blushing, or even made uncomfortable by this in the slightest.
"Actually, I have a theory. I think our demon forms have been mind warping."
"Mind warping?"
She was blushing bright red and he figured he was doing the same. He scrambled off of her, and then offered his hand to help her up.
She took it.
"Yes. Not sure how."
Now that she was standing well enough, he turned to the closet.
Kassandra peeked around him.
"What is that?"
"I believe its some sort of mind portal."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning, I believe that Kasumi has been traveling to other people's minds."
"Which reminds me, how'd you get here?"
"I walked into a door in Youko's room and then I was apparently inside Kasumi's closet."
A moment of silence while the two put 2 and 2 together.
"Oh no…. They didn't."
"I think they have…"
"Oh please let hem no have done anything stupid."
Meanwhile Kasumi was still relishing in the looks of shock on everyone's faces. This is priceless…
Youko wrapped both arms around her waist and smirked.
-- It is, isn't it? --
Kasumi smirked.
Mm-hmm. Lets say we give them something else to stare at…Youko smirked wider and with a hint of evilness to it.
-- How far do you want to go? --
Not too far… our humans forms have a reputation to upkeep…-- Fair enough…though you know I would go further, if it were my choice. --
But it isn't…--Fine. But don't be surprised if I go a bit farther than you intend… --
Watch yourself. I will defend myself…-- I'm sure. --
Don't mock me!-- I'm not. --
Uh-huh. You know, you are just racking up mistakes today! You are going to have to pay up you know!
-- And I intend to… --
Oh really? When?-- Right now --
He pressed his lips slightly against hers and waited for her to recover from the initial shock. Then he came on a bit faster. Smirking devilishly, Kasumi kissed him back with equal force. She still wouldn't let him into her mouth when he asked, though, which annoyed him.
One of his hands started to wander up her back, but one of Kasumi's slapped it down.
-- She's not letting me go anywhere with this. --
No I'm not. I told you!-- Yeah, yeah…maybe we'd better stop now. Take a look at the others. --
Good plan.
They both break away and smirk at their bewildered friends. The looks of shock on their faces were even more priceless than before, if you can put a price on things like that. Everyone's eyes were twice the size of normal, and most mouths were hanging open.
Kasumi blinked a few times innocently.
"What?"
Kuwabara recovered.
"You-you-you-"
"We what?"
"Do Shuuichi and Kassandra know about this?"
"No."
Silence fell again.
"Uh-oh."
"They are not going to be happy."
"Most likely not." Youko said plainly.
"But there isn't much they can do about it." Kasumi added.
"True." Botan said, though she sounded like she was honestly pondering something. "I have an idea!"
"What?"
"What if we got Kassandra and Kurama together?"
"Believe me, you won't have to work very hard…" Kasumi muttered.
"Actually, I've been trying for a while now." Youko admitted. "But he seems reluctant."
"Kassandra as well. She's afraid that- Well, she's afraid of a lot of things."
"Commitment?"
"That is not one of them."
"You sure?"
"Yes, quite."
"So what do we do?"
"Leave them alone."
"Huh?"
"They'll get together on their own."
Nobody other than Youko and Kasumi were sure of this. However, the subject was closed.
"My turn." Kasumi said suddenly. Everyone jumped and Kuwabara covered his eyes.
"Not for that, you hentai!"
(Hentai- pervert…roughly translated…)
"Oh."
Kasumi rolled her eyes. "Great. I'm getting a reputation as a slut."
"No you're not!" Youko whispered in her ear, making it twitch.
"Shush! Samantha, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare!"
Kasumi smirked.
"I dare you to…"
Kasumi sent an image of a Samantha and certain fire demon, in the act of something similar to what Kasumi and Youko had been doing.
Samantha blushed.
"Uh…."
"Oh what, can't do it?"
"Shut up, Kasumi! Of course I can!"
"You sure? You might not be able to get-"
Samantha glared at her, which gave her a good enough reason to stop talking.
Samantha however, was not dumb, nor was she stupid. She knew that if Hiei was expecting it, he'd get away in an instant. So, that eliminated walking up to him. Besides. He still was scared of her for the pink escapade.
She chuckles slightly at the thought of the pink torture. Though she'd never admit it, she would have been just as freaked out.
Of course no one would dare try to inflict that upon her.
Though once, people said that about Hiei too.
Kasumi knew everything Kassandra did, including her crush on the fire demon. She'd had one for the same amount of time as she'd had one on Kurama.
Was this going to be a fairy tale for both of them?
No. Hiei was going to hate her for the rest of eternity for the pink thing.
Samantha sighed. Better to get this over with.
Using her appear/disappear power, Samantha disappeared from view, pausing only for a moment to watch everyone look around.
Then she appeared in front of Hiei. His crimson eyes locked on her, but he didn't even have a chance to do anything before she kissed him gently. The fire demons lips were as hot as fire, which was to be expected.
Hiei's eyes widened in shock, not in fear though. He wasn't scared of her. Just annoyed. However, this was unexpected. Though, he wondered if there was any actual feeling behind it, or if it was a dare.
He was leaning toward it was the dare, until a gentle thought escaped the mind lock around Sam's mind.
'I'm so glad I got this dare, or I don't think I'd have been able to do this myself…'
This shocked Hiei more than anything he'd ever heard in his life.
Finally, Sam pulled away, blushing redder than the red in her hair. Redder than his eyes. Before she can disappear back to her spot on the couch, he grabs her wrist and pulls her right up to him, kissing her gently.
Sam's eyes lit up happily, then slid close as she began to enjoy.
--- Samantha? ---
'Hiei?'
--- Why? ---
'I'll explain later, but right now… We're beginning to look like Kasumi and Youko did I believe...'
--- Heavens forbid we look like that. ---
He broke off, and as soon as he did, Samantha disappeared.
"Of course..." he mutters as he settles back down in his corner, deciding to act as if nothing had happened.
Botan however had had enough.
"Okay…maybe we'll be done for the day. Koenma and I got to go back to the Reikai. Business to attend to. See you guys soon"
"Good plan. I also thing I've lost feeling to my arms and legs from being wrapped up in duct tape so long."
Kasumi giggles.
"Ah, you don't need them. You don't do anything, remember?"
Koenma glared. "I have half a mind to throw you in a cell right now, Raiyami."
"Ooo…I'm so scared." Kasumi says mockingly.
But before Koenma can respond Botan grabs a convenient loop of duct tape, and flies off on her oar.
Kasumi grins. "Oh I love torturing him…"
"Watch it though, Kasumi. It could get you in trouble someday…"
"Oh really? How?"
"Trust me. He can make your life miserable."
"Youko, how would you know?"
"Experience."
Kasumi pushed herself away from him slightly. "I don't want to know."
Youko smirked and pulled her back so she was leaning against his chest. She made no attempt to fight it.
Yukina simply smiled and nodded to Keiko. The two of them walked to a different section of the house and disappeared. Kuwabara and Yusuke followed them. That left Hiei and Sam, and Youko and Kasumi.
"You know, perhaps you'd better let your human forms out. In the least embarrassing way as possible."
Kasumi and Youko looked at each other for a moment.
"Do I have to?" Kasumi whined.
"Yes." Sam said firmly. "The sooner the better."
"For both of you." Hiei added.
Both youkai groaned and smirked as they had a nasty, awful, wonderful idea.
Youko kissed Kasumi quickly, before she even had a chance to suggest it, and, in mid-kiss, they switched to their human forms.
Poor Kurama and Kassandra. Both victims of their demon sides.
Kassandra was suddenly thrown back into control of her body. But something didn't feel the same as it did when she left it. She was sitting on something. Something warm and soft. She felt safe, with something wrapped around her, perforated with the smell of roses. But most of, all something was being pressed against her lips.
Kassandra opens her eyes and gasps surprised.
Kurama was kissing her!
This had to be some sort of dream! All of it! Dream! It had to be a dream!
She pushed away suddenly, blushing a red never before seen in the Ningenkai, or even in the Reikai. The Makai…possibly. Possibly something was as red, or redder.
She realized the soft thing she was sitting on was Kurama's lap. His arms were what were wrapped around her, and the scent was his. No one else besides Youko could smell like that. And this was not Youko. This was Kurama, the red head.
She realized his face was blushing though not as bright as hers.
Unable to move, Kassandra turned her head, trying to look away from Kurama, and she saw Sam and Hiei.
Both were staring.
"I thought I said in the least embarrassing way possible." Sam muttered.
"So did I." Hiei muttered back.
"What-" Kassandra began.
"Well…you see…" Sam started.
"Youko and Kasumi are together." Hiei finished.
"We figured as much." Kurama said for both himself and Kassandra.
"You did?" Sam asked in shock.
"Yes. We found a mind portal, and put 2 and 2 together."
Hiei was smirking.
"So what are you going to do about?"
Kurama and Kassandra both shrugged, but Kurama was the one who answered.
"Nothing."
Sam looked at them both surprised.
"What do you mean nothing?"
"We're not going to do anything. Unless they actually do something-"
"I think both Youko and Kasumi know their boundaries."
"Or at least Kasumi does."
"True. But Kasumi does seem to be quite stubborn. I doubt she'll fall to his will easily."
Everyone was quiet for a bit, lost in his or her own thoughts. Or in some cases, yelling at the others in their heads.
Kasumi! What are you crazy? Going over there! Who knows what he could do to you!
Ahhh…Kassandra, you are making a big deal out of nothing!
I don't consider it "nothing"!
Look, Kassandra, would I do anything to abuse your body?
That's just it! I don't know that! In fact, I've only known you existed for a week!
Okay then, trust me on this. I'm not going to do anything crazy with Youko, without any inexplicable reason. And I'm not going to mate with him, without your consent first. At least not while circumstances are under my control. Happy?
No! That's not a very solid vow!
Would you rather I break my word?
No…Good then, it'll have to do. I can't promise anymore.
Kasumi hears Kassandra sigh.
Okay, but please-I know. I know what he's like, and he's not going to be tricking me into bed with him anytime soon. Kurama was right. I'm quite stubborn. Hopefully some of it will rub off onto you too.
Hey!What? Is it my fault you're a tad bit submissive? OW! Maybe submissive was the wrong word.
Nah, ya think?With the size of the bump you gave me when you hit me with that…what is it that you hit me with? A frying pan?
Possibly. I don't know.
You…don't know? What kind of an excuse is that?
I kind of wished I could hit you with something heavy…and then you yelled Ow…But Kurama said we can't hurt each other!
Actually, I don't think Kurama has ever tried to hit Youko. But Youko has tried to hit him…I think it works one way…
So the one in control of the body can hit the person on the inside.
I think so…Greeeeeeaaaaat…
I know, isn't it?- Youko. -
-- Yes Shuuichi? --
- Does that little secret you've been keeping have anything to do with Kasumi? -
--Possibly… --
- I think it does…-
--Okay, you caught me. I've been having her over. --
- Over for what? -
-- Tea. Baka. What do you think? --
- I don't want to think of what you could have done, so why don't you just tell me. -
-- You're not going to leave me alone unless I do, are you? --
- No. -
-- Fine. We've gone all the way. --
- WHAT! -
-- Kidding, Shuuichi, kidding! Geez. We haven't done anything more than kiss, I promise. She won't let me go any farther. --
- At least someone has some self-control… -
-- Oh, and I don't? I could take her if I wanted to. I just don't want to push her. --
- Good for her. -
--You really don't trust me do you? --
- In some things, yes. Around females, no. -
-- I'm not a rapist! Just a slight hentai --
Youko hears Kurama guffaw.
-- Okay, okay, partial hentai. --
-Better, much better. –
--You realize you are still holding her, right? --
- I am? Oh gosh. -
Youko's turn to laugh.
-- Second time, Shuuichi, Second time… --
Kurama hastily took his arms from around her waist. She hurriedly scrambled off.
"Oh…look at the time…gotta jet!" She starts toward the door.
"Don't forget I'll be around your house at 7."
Kassandra pauses at the door.
"Uh…why?"
"For my surprise."
"Oh. Um…okay…see you then…I guess…"
Then she was gone.
Kurama looked at Hiei and Sam.
"Well…that was strange. Care to explain how we got into that position?"
Hiei and Sam exchanged glances, both shrugged, and Sam disappeared. She didn't want to be the one to tell Kurama. She had to go tell Kassandra.
Hiei sighed and turned to his friend.
Kassandra opened the door to her room and jumped as she saw Sam on her bed.
"Holy Hello, how did you get in here?"
"Hello. Remember my pop power?"
"Eh?"
"I mean when I disappear, then reappear?"
"Oh…right…Better question this time: Why are you here?"
"You can't tell me you can't possibly wonder how you got into that particular position with your crush, can you?"
"Eh…No."
"Then that's why I'm here."
Sam tells Kassandra everything that had happened since Kasumi took over. Though she conveniently omitted her own dare, and her kiss with HER crush.
"Wow…"
"Yeah…Anyway, I'm also here for another thing."
"Oh great…what?"
"To get you ready for your date."
Kassandra blushed slightly.
"It's not a date!"
"Sure…call it what you want…I'm here to help you get ready for it."
"Meaning?" Kassandra asks, almost fearfully.
"Don't worry, there will be no make-up involved."
"No cosmetics?"
"None."
"Not even perfume?"
"Not a drop."
Kassandra decided to trust her friend on this, after one more question.
"No skirts?"
"No. No skirts."
"Okay."
She surrendered herself into the hands of her friend. It's a good thing she trusted Sam.
I need your people's advice though. I'm notbig on doing his, but I'm kind of at a loss at what she should wear. Remember her style. Advice and ideas welcome!
