Thanks so much for all the reviews!!! They inspire me to continue!
The gang sat at their usual table the next day, discussing the day's events and excitement about the upcoming homecoming events. Everyone seemed cheerful, except Fujiko, who sat between across from Keiko and Yusuke, watching their every move. They seemed a little closer, closer than usual to her.
"Oh man I have the perfect idea!" Botan exclaimed, before sipping her coke. "We should so hit the mall after everyone gets done with practice, and pick out dresses!" she suggested looking around. Keiko and Yukina smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Uhh, Botan, Why would we want to help you all dress shop?" Yusuke asked pointing at himself, Kuwabara, and Kurama. "Kuwabara the only one running and he'll be in uniform," he explained.
"Ugh, well you can at least help us her supplies to campaign." She suggested.
"Yeah Yusuke, what else could you possibly have to do?" Keiko added, looking up at him.
Yusuke shrugged, "Watch TV?"
Keiko giggled as she mushed him in the head, "Forget him Keiko, I'm sure Kurama and Kuwabara won't mind," she said looking over at the guys. They both gave weak smiles. "Oh C'mon not you too?" Keiko exclaimed in disbelief, "What happened to 'Battle of the Boyfriends'?" Keiko mocked sarcastically, "Well both your girlfriends are running and need help picking out a dress. I'd say this is the perfect test." She added, folding her arms.
Both men looked at each other and shrugged,
"I guess she's right." Kurama commented.
"Good," Keiko clapped, "Me and Fujiko can judge; since Yusuke wants to be a lazy bum!" she stated throwing him a scowl. She responded with a sheepish grin, while scratching the back of his head.
"Actually, I'm not, uhh, feeling too well," Fujiko stated suddenly, "I'm just gonna hang out at the ramen shop,"
Keiko looked at her curiously, "Are you sure? Mom and dad aren't opening the shop today."
"I know, they're going to get supplies or something," Fujiko replied hastily.
Keiko nodded, "My grandma makes the sauce for the special, so they're going to get another order of it for stock. They'll be gone all day. You really wanna just sit in that house all day alone?" she said.
"I'll be fine, I'll just nap or something, I'm not feeling too well," she repeated.
Keiko shrugged, "Oh well, I guess I'll be judging that on my own."
"Cool, so I say Kuwabara drives us all!" Botan cheered.
"What?" Kuwabara exclaimed, "How can you just volunteer me to drive?"
"Because, you've got the biggest car!" Botan explained.
Kuwabara thought about it, "Dammit." He murmured.
"Well I have to drive Fujiko home first so I'll just meet you guys up there." Keiko stated laughing at Kuwabara.
"Okay," Botan replied, just as the bell rang.
"Mom?" Yusuke called out has he slipped his shoes off at the door of his apartment. The house was silent, as he scanned the living room in search of his mother.
"Must be at Ben's," he murmured to himself plopping down on the couch.
He was just about to kick back and watch TV, when he felt his cell phone vibrating in his pocket. He was surprised to read a text from Keiko's cell. It was a text asking him to come over. She said that she wasn't going to the mall, and instead decided to stay home. Yusuke grinned; he knew what was in store for them when he got there, and after the previous night's events, he was more than willing to take the twenty minute walk to her house. So, he texted back that he was on his way before jumping up, and headed out of the house.
Fujiko smiled as she read the text, only to hurriedly flip the phone closed when she noticed her cousin walking back to the car. She and Keiko had stopped at a gas station so Keiko could fill up.
"Okay girlie" Keiko said as she entered the car, "Are you sure you want to stay home?"
Fujiko nodded, "I'll be fine, tell Botan and Yukina I apologize for not coming."
Keiko nodded, before pulling off.
When they arrived home Keiko pulled to the curb and dropped Fujiko off, then headed to the mall to meet her friends.
"I wonder what she's up too." Keiko thought to herself. She knew her cousin was promiscuous, so she was sure she had found a few guys to mess around with. She sighed; her cousin was on a downward spiral. Keiko knew she was no saint herself, but Fujiko was almost always expected to sneak in and out of the house in the wee hours of the night, and upon her arrive, to rid herself of any guilty smells.
"Oh well," Keiko sighed aloud, "It's her life!" she concluded, as she pulled into the entrance of the mall.
She stepped in and immediately went to work finding her friends.
Yusuke rang the door bell and waited patiently. His manhood was already beginning to harden at the thought of what lied ahead. Keiko had become bolder and bolder these days. He was ecstatic that she was so back in his lane and away from Shishi in such a short amount of time. That's why he was a bit disappointed when Fujiko answered the door.
No doubt, there she stood before him, still dressed in her red mini skirt and white collared shirt. On her feet she wore nothing but white socks, and her face displayed the widest grin.
"Hi Yusuke," she greeted casually, leaning against the door frame.
"Uhh, Hey Fujiko is Keiko here?" he asked. He mentally slapped himself; how could he forget about Fujiko staying home. "Thanks a lot Keiko!" he thought to himself.
"Nope," she replied smirking, "She went to the mall remember?"
"Yeah, uhh, she…" Yusuke started, "Nevermind I'll just call her when I get home,"
"No use walking all the way back home, Yusuke," Fujiko offered, "Why not just come in and call her here, and wait for her?"
Yusuke sighed, "Nah, I think I'd better just go."
Fujiko smirked, "C'mon Yusuke, don't be so rude. I don't bite, remember," She winked.
Yusuke couldn't help but feel his pants tighten. Fujiko was just so damn sexy, and now it was apparent what was really going on.
"I take it you're the one who sent me that text?" Yusuke concluded, a smirk present on his face as he shook his head.
"Maybe." She replied innocently. "Come on in." she stated, walking into the living room, paying he'd follow her.
Yusuke sighed, "What the hell…I'm horny." He thought to himself as he followed her up the stairs and into the extra room she slept in.
"I'm glad you seen things my way." Fujiko stated closing the door behind him.
Yusuke didn't have much time to reply, for before he knew it Fujiko was in front of him again, with her hands firmly wrapped around his member.
"Damn, how the hell did she do that," he thought to himself, as a throaty moan escaped is mouth.
With her hand still wrapped around his now completely hardened dick, Fujiko ushered Yusuke to the queen sized bed.
Yusuke's thoughts were completely clouded, and all moral judgment had been left at the door. He brought his hands to her hips, lifting her onto the bed and raising her skirt at the same time, ready to penetrate.
But Fujiko wasn't having it. She wanted the dominance so she quickly kicked him away, only to grab is shirt and turn him so that now he was leaning against the bed. She used all her body weight to press against him, forcing him to lie horizontally across the bed. She didn't bother removing her clothes, deciding to simply slide her panties to the floor.
Meanwhile Yusuke quickly positioned himself vertically on the bed, deciding to also keep his garments on. As he laid his head on the pillow and glance up towards the ceiling, an overwhelming sense of peace, overcame him.
Flashback
"Shh…stop making so much noise." A fourteen year old Keiko whispered.
"Sorry," Yusuke mumbled.
The two made the familiar journey up the stairs and into the third room of the house, which had, until recently, remained vacant. For the last five days, Keiko would routinely sneak Yusuke into her house through the restaurant entrance, and into the guest room.
"So what happened this time?" Keiko asked yawning. She and her, then, best friend sat criss cross on the queen sized bed.
"The stupid bastard hit my mother." Yusuke answered through clenched teeth.
Keiko sighed, "What did you do?" she asked looking at him.
"I kicked his ass." He stated, "I only left because he threatened to call the cops."
Keiko shook her head, "What did your mother do?"
Yusuke chuckled, "What do you think? She was too drunk to even know he'd hit her." Yusuke bowed his head, "I hate it Keiko," he mumbled fighting back tears. He wasn't embarrassed to cry in front of her, he knew she wouldn't judge him like everyone else. Yet, he still didn't want o cry.
"It'll get better Yusuke," Keiko replied soothingly, rubbing him on his back. "Just go to sleep and everything will be better in the morning."
Yusuke sniffled and then nodded, "Thanks Keiko." He said, finally looking at her.
"Don't mention it." She replied standing to leave, "Just remember not to leave the room until I come get you. I don't want my parents seeing you leaving."
Yusuke nodded.
"Okay, well goodnight Yusuke," She whispered, walking to the door.
"Goodnight Cakes," he replied, laying his head on the pillow. It seemed as if he instantly drifted to sleep as soon as she closed the door.
He had been asleep for two hours, when he felt a pair of strong hands, softly shaking him awake while calling his name. He opened his eyes and met Kei's.
"Hey buddy, get up." Kei stated quietly, so not to startle the young boy.
Yusuke sat up and shook his head a little, trying to fully wake himself up. "Mr. Yukimura?"
"Yeah Yusuke, what's going on? What are you doing in here?" Kei asked concerned.
Yusuke sighed. He looked over at the open door and saw Kotomi standing in the threshold. He looked back up at Kei. "My mother's boyfriend hit her. And he threatened to have me arrested, after I beat his a... I mean after we fought. So I left." Yusuke answered bowing his head again.
Kei shook his head, "That's a damn shame." He murmured, "But how did you get in here?" he asked curiously.
"Keiko let me in, it's been like this for the past week," Yusuke admitted.
"Week?" Kei exclaimed in astonishment, "You mean to tell me you've been sneaking in here every night for the past week?"
Yusuke nodded, "Yes sir, but please don't be mad at Keiko. She was just trying to help. I'll take all the blame." He pleaded looking up at Kei again.
Kotomi gasped, "Oh Yusuke sweetie you're not in trouble." She assured him, stepping into the room and sitting next to him. She wrapped him into a comforting hug. "Right Kei?" she asked looking at her husband.
"No Yusuke, we're not made at you or Keiko." He assured him, "I just wish you two would have informed us about this, instead of sneaking around."
"Anytime you need help you can come to us, Yusuke," Kei added.
Yusuke sighed. He looked up and noticed Keiko occupying her mother's previous spot.
He smiled at the sight around him. The Yukimura's had always been the family he never had.
End Flashback.
"Yusuke!" the sound of Fujiko's agitated voice snapped him out of his daydream. "Yusuke what are you doing?" she repeated herself for the fourth time.
"Huh?" he asked looking up at her. She was now straddling his hips, and he could feel the warmth from her exposed womanhood on his lap.
Fujiko smirked, "Aren't you going to take your pants of? I've been waiting on this for a long time now." She stated sensually.
Yusuke looked around the room. This was the same room, the Yukimura's housed him in whenever he'd run off from home for a night or two. Kotomi would nurse his wounds after being in fights many of times, and he and Kei would talk for hours about whatever problem he was having at home. And here he was now. About to have sex with their niece on the bed, that their daughter had willingly snuck him to, in order to help him.
"I can't," Yusuke said running his hands over his face.
"Excuse me?" Fujiko asked looking at him.
"I said I can't fuck you Fujiko!" he yelled shoving her off of him.
"Hey!" she screeched as she fell onto the polished wood floor. "What the hell Yusuke, have you lost you mind?" she yelled.
"Yeah, the day I fucked you!" he yelled at her, "How could you do that to Keiko, she's your fucking cousin!"
Fujiko laughed at his words, "How could you?" she yelled back, "You're supposed to be her best friend" she stated making quotations with her fingers at the words 'best friend'. "Oh wait, and her lover right? Whatever Yusuke you're no better than I am."
Yusuke looked at her in disgusted, "whatever. I'm out of here Fujiko. You should be ashamed to call yourself a Yukimura, you fucking whore." He stated venomously at her as he walked out of the room.
"You're on to talk Yusuke!" She yelled, "You're a bigger whore than I am!" she heard no reply, only the sound of the front door slamming.
"And that's the end of the first half ladies and gentlemen! The Sariaki bears in the lead with 21 to 0" The energetic football announcer spoke over the loudspeaker of the Sariaki Stadium. It was the night of homecoming, and week since Yusuke and Fujiko's altercation. While other students were busy deciding who they wanted to vote for, Fujiko ad Yusuke were busy avoiding. Yusuke had told Kuwabara, Jin, and Kurama about the argument. The boys laughed and praised him at the same time. He had yet, to even mention to Botan anything about Fujiko and himself. He knew she'd scold him terribly and might even tell Keiko.
"Okay! Now if you could please turn your attention to the center of the field, we will begin our homecoming ceremonies."
The crowd wildly began to cheer as the candidates lined up on the side of the field, preparing to make the long stroll to the center of the field as the announcer announced them.
Keiko and Yusuke sat side by side ready to cheer they're friends on, Jin, Kurama and Shizuru sitting to the let of them. Atsuko, Ben, Kotomi, and Kei all sat on the row above them just as eager to rout for they're children's friends.
"So Keiko," Yusuke began looking at her, "Obviously I voted for Kuwabara. But you have two best friends running against each other. Who'd you vote for? I wont tell." He grinned.
Keiko laughed, "How honorable of you Yusuke, but honestly I just voted Kuwabara form king. I left my queen ballet blank." She smirked, "Who did you vote for? Botan of coursed!"
Yusuke chuckled, shaking his head. Looking out onto the field he said, "Nah, I actually voted for Yukina."
Keiko smiled in surprise, "Really?"
Yusuke nodded, "It'll be cute seeing them when together you know? Kinda like when we run for Basketball homecoming." He stated.
Keiko smiled, "Wow that was oddly sweet of you. The whole Yukina Kuwabara thing, I mean."
"What can I say," he started, shrugging his shoulders, "I'm a sucker for love."
"They are cute together. So is Kurama and Botan." She stated.
Yusuke laughed, "I know Botan has told you about them?"
Keiko smiled nodding, "Yeah they had sex."
Yusuke chuckled, "Who would have thought."
The announcer began announcing the first pair of male/female candidates. Keiko looked down the line of five pairs. Kuwabara and Yukina were the second in line. Botan and Moshi were last.
Yukina sighed nervously as she watched the couple before her walk off toward the center of the field where a white arch with red roses wrapped around it stood; a red carpet extending from it, to give the event more of an elegant feel.
She looked over to the crowd and scanned. Unlike her friend's, she had no family to invite to a special day like this. And though she knew all the parents of her friends as well as Yusuke, Keiko, and Kurama would cheer her on, it would have felt even better to know someone was there especially for her.
As she scanned the field she gasped quietly when her eye fell upon Sakyo's form. A smile crept across her face when she noticed that he wasn't alone. In his arms he held up an energetic Mika, obviously trying to help her get a better view. Momo was with them, and to Yukina's surprise her stomach was flat, and she held in a thick bundle of covers in her folded arms. She waved back, as Mika wailed her hands wildly trying to get her attention.
Kuwabara smiled down at her as she turned her attention back to the center of the field. The two candidates we now at the arch and standing as the loudspeaker announced the queen candidates stats. She was a track player named Koto.
"You look beautiful tonight Yukina," he whispered to her. He admired her beauty as she stood beside him. She wore a haltered, yellow dress that spit up the front stopping at her calves. Her hair was pinned up into an elegant style, and her face was made to perfection all thanks to Shizuru. On her feet she wore pale yellow, four inch heels, which still did her no justice when standing next to her boyfriend.
"Thank you Kazuma." She smiled sweetly, "You don't look to bad yourself."
"Thanks baby," he laughed at her sarcasm; he was still wearing his complete uniform, minus the helmet. "Oh look there's Shiz and Keiko, and of course they've got camera's." he laughed.
The couple turned towards the two girls who had to the side of the field to take pictures. Yukina smile sincerely, as Kuwabara wrapped his arms around her and the girls clicked away.
The regained their poise, and Keiko and Shizuru returned to they're seats as the announcer ended his descriptions of the first set of candidates.
"Next we have Kazuma Kuwabara!" the announcer yelled. The entire crowd stood and erupted into applause. Kuwabara and Yukina began their walk across the field as the announcer continued. "Kazuma is representing the sport of Football. Kazuma's parents are Noriko and Taro Kuwabara. In his spare time Kazuma enjoys playing football, hanging with friends, and being with his girlfriend Yukina. Kazuma would like to thank his sister Shizuru, for always pushing him to do his best." The announcer paused as the crowd began to cheer loudly again for Kuwabara. Yukina smiled proudly. "He mentioned me name!"
"Kazuma is escorting the lovely Ms. Yukina Koorime!" The crowd again stood and cheered loudly as Yukina and Kuwabara stood underneath the arch. "Yukina is representing the sport of Cheerleading. Her parents are Hina and Masanori Koorime." Kuwabara looked down in shock at Yukina, who only continued to smile at the crowd.
"I'm proud of you babe," He whispered. She Yukina nodded, silently thanking him.
In her spare time Yukina enjoys being around her best friend's, whom she'd like to that for everything they've done for her." The crowd cheered one last time for the two as they walk to the side and lined up next to Koto and the other candidate.
Botan smiled brightly as she watched the two pose side by side grinning and hold hands. She envied them slightly, wishing she could have run with her boyfriend. Instead, she stood next to Moshi, a guy she wasn't to particularly fond of.
She only hoped Kurama approved of her attire. Tonight, she wore and long, strapless, silver dress that hugged her curves and pushed her bust up and out. Her intentions weren't to put such an emphasis on her breast, but the dress was just beautiful. It was glittery, and donned and sexy split the stopped mid-thigh. She opted for strappy, silver, five inch heels, and her hair was let down and flowed freely down her back and over her cleavage.
She sighed as she patiently waited for her turn to walk. She was seconds away from slapping Moshi, if he didn't stop staring at her cleavage.
"Hey I understand they're big and what not, but don't you have a girlfriend or something?" Botan scolded him.
Moshi smirked, continuing to look ahead, "Who?"
"Misa." Botan stated, "You know who I'm talking about."
"Nah, she was just looking for someone to wipe out the virginity of hers," he replied vulgarly.
Botan gasped, "You are such a fucking creep!"
Moshi smirked, "Your boyfriend's watching us pretty hard." He stated instead.
Botan looked over at the stands. Indeed, Kurama was looking in her direction. She smiled waved her fingers at him. He smiled back in response.
"Aww… isn't that sweet." Moshi said sarcastically.
"You should take note loser." Botan spat back.
"Finally we have our last male candidate, representing the sport of football, Moshi Takimoto!" At the sound of his name, Moshi began walking; linking his arms with Botan's causing her to follow. She couldn't help but feel pity, as she watched Misa scream at the top of her lungs as the announcer read of Moshi's interests.
"Moshi is escorting the beautiful Botan Furuga!" Botan grinned uncontrollably; as she watched her friends stand and yell for her. "Botan is representing football management. Her parent is Roto Furuga. In her spare time she enjoys playing video games with her little brother, shopping with her best friend's Keiko and Yukina, and spending time with Kurama, the greatest boyfriend in the world." A series of "Aww" could be heard throughout the crowd. Botan laughed as she watched Yusuke tease Kurama from the stands, Kurama simply smiling, still looking at her. "Botan would like to thank her best friend Yusuke Urameshi, being the best friend a girl could ever ask for."
Moshi and Botan walked over and lines up with everyone else.
"Ladies and Gentlemen: I give you the Sariaki high school Football Homecoming Court." The crowd again broke out into applause as the candidates all bowed.
"And now…the moment you've all been waiting for. Your new Winter Homecoming King is…" There was a short pause while the announcer read the results.
"Kazuma Kuwabara!!!" He screamed causing the crowd to go crazy.
Kuwabara only humbly walked off from a cheering Yukina, into the middle of the field, standing under the arch. He could see his older sister jumping up and down excitedly in the stands, he only wished his parents hand been able to drive out and see him win.
"Stop being so whiny Kuwabara!" he mentally scolded himself, as the crown bearer place the crown on his head. "At least you have your parents." He looked over at his Yukina. She smiled sweetly at him, clapping her hands.
"And now…Your new Winter Homecoming Queen is…" another pause before her loudly screamed.
"Botan Furuga!!!"
Botan grinned widely as she walked under the arch. She was honestly shocked. She thought for sure people would want the whole "Boyfriend/Girlfriend, King/Queen" scenario. She looked up at Kuwabara who was beaming down at her proudly. Then she looked at her best friend, looking stunning in her yellow dress as she happily clapped her hands for her win. The crowd was going wild as she stood next to Kuwabara, a tiara resting in her head and a bouquet of roses in her arms. The yearbook instructor stood before them snapping pictures.
After the crowning the boys had to head right back onto the field to finish the second half. Yukina and Botan retreated to stands to mingle, while Keiko said some quick congrats and compliments before returning to the side lines to cheer. Yukina walked over to visit with the Valdez family, while Botan headed up towards her boyfriend.
"You look so beautiful Botan, congratulations!" Kotomi gushed as she wrapped Botan into a hug. Everyone added little compliment in also.
Botan gratefully thanks all of them, while making her way over to Kurama. He moved over making room between himself and Yusuke for her.
"Hey beautiful," he greeted her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "You look gorgeous."
Botan smiled, "I was hoping you would approve."
"Well I do," he winked, "Here its kind of cold out here," he took his jacket off and draped it over her shoulders.
"So where's the after party?" Yusuke asked, looking over at his best friend.
Botan shrugged, "I'm down."
"Your place?" Yusuke clarified.
Botan nodded, "Spread the word."
Yukina scanned thee crowd as she was walked across the bleachers in search of the Valdez family. She finally spotted them sitting in the crowd slightly away from the rest of the fans.
"Thanks for coming," Yukina said as she sat next to them.
"Hi Yoo-Keen-Ah!" Mika squealed hugging Yukina around the neck. "You look pretty! Hey, look at my new baby sister! She right here!" Mika babbled on motioning to the bundle of blankets in Momo's arms.
"Mika, Breathe." Momo warned, before turning a friendly smile towards Yukina, "You look beautiful Yukina, too bad you didn't win." Sakyo nodded in agreement
Yukina shook her head, "Botan's my best friend, and she deserved to win. She campaigned like crazy." She explained.
"Who was the guy that one?" Momo asked, "Sakyo said he thought that might have been your boyfriend, since he escorted you."
"Yeah that was Kazuma," Yukina replied nodding.
"You two looked nice together," Momo commented.
"So I see you had the baby," Yukina smiled motioning to the baby.
"Oh yes, here take a look," Momo exclaimed, unwrapping the blankets that covered the babies head, "I actually went into labor the day after you left our house. She came a week early."
Yukina's heart melted at the sight of the small infant. She had a chubby round face, like Momo's, with a patch of jet black fuzz crowning her head.
"She's so cute!" Yukina exclaimed, "Congratulations."
"Thanks," Sakyo replied, "On a side note I spoke with your brother."
Yukina gasped, "Really? What did he say?"
"He actually is good friends with someone from Sariaki." Sakyo informed her. "Maybe you know him. Minamino Kurama?"
Yukina's heart dropped. She turned her head at looked at the red head located across the bleachers in the midst of the large crowd.
"I take it you do know him." Sakyo replied following her gaze.
Yukina nodded. "Yes he's right over there, with the long red hair." She pointed.
Sakyo followed her pointing finger until is eye landed on the kid fitting her description, cuddling the girl whom had just won Queen.
"Well then," Sakyo began causing Yukina to turn back to him. "I guess my part is done."
"What do you mean?" Yukina asked confused.
"I mean Kurama and help you meet Hiei," He explained.
Yukina nodded, asked taking a quick glance back at Kurama.
"Here," he tapped her, handing her an envelope, "This is for you."
Yukina took the envelope and opened it. Inside was a small stack of twenty dollar bills and a silver credit card. "What's this?"
"That's $400 dollars in cash, and the bank card for the account I saved up for you." Sakyo explained nonchalantly.
Yukina giggled, "You the only Tarukane saved up," Referring to Sakyo's embezzlement of her uncle's fortune.
Sakyo and Momo both chuckled.
"And don't worry, there's a lot of money in that account. And I will personally pay for your college." He reminded her.
Yukina smiled and nodded.
"Are you gonna cheer tonight Yoo-Keen-Ah?" Mika's squeaky voice came.
Yukina couldn't help but giggle every time the little girl would sound her name out.
"Yes, I guess I'll go change." Yukina replied standing, "I'll at least be able to cheer during the last quarter. Maybe I can show you all my stunts."
"Are you still enrolled at Saiki's dance school?" Sakyo asked, "When will they need the next payment?"
Yukina sighed and looked down at her feet. "I don't go anymore." Sakyo gave her a confused look. Yukina looked over at Mika, who was completely engulfed in Keiko and the cheerleaders as she tried to mock there movements. "Sadao tried to rape me." She replied quietly.
Momo gasped and Sakyo shook his head in disbelief.
Before they could comment Yukina continued, "I've take dance classes all my life. I'll be fine without them." She assured before walking down the bleachers, "Thanks again for coming!" she called back.
"Damn," Momo said quietly to her fiancé, "She's been through so much."
Sakyo only nodded.
The rest of the homecoming went by normally. Botan stayed in the bleachers with her friends, her head resting on Kurama's shoulders as the cheered Kuwabara and the rest of the team on.
Yukina dressed into her cheer uniform and left her belongings, including Sakyo's envelope, with Shizuru. As promised her returned to the cheer line, and preformed her any stunts. Mika watched with wide eyes, as Yukina crossed the track surrounding the field, with a series of front flips, back flips, round offs, and ending it with a splits. Then the squad formed three small groups of four, while chanting an encouraging touchdown cheer. Once the girls finished their chant, they lifted Yukina, Lin, and another one of the smaller cheerleaders into the air and tossed them up.
"Daaaaadddddddddddy!!!" Mika screeched.
"Yeah Princess?" Sakyo said looking down at the little girl in his lap.
"I wanna know how to do that!" she exclaimed pointing towards Yukina's falling form, as the other cheerleaders in her group caught her. "I wanna be a cheerleader like Yoo-Keen-Ah! And I'll be really pretty like her and…" Sakyo just smiled and nodded as his daughter rambled on about Yukina and cheerleading.
The game ended, and the Bears walked away with yet another victory making them undefeated with five wins and zero losses.
"Hey Kuwabara come here!" Yusuke called out when he saw his friend's number "7" jersey. The players were all boarding the bus to take them back to the school.
"What's up Urameshi?" He said walking over to the Yusuke, Jin, and Kurama.
"Good job in the game man, and on the win," Yusuke started, "But Botan's throwing a party tonight at her place, so tell all the guys to come over in like an hour."
Kuwabara nodded, "Okay, see ya tonight!" he called as he ran to the bus.
"Well I guess we'll go to my place and get dress," Yusuke said to Jin. He turned and looked over at Kurama, "See you there?"
Kurama nodded, before walking off to his car.
Yusuke and Jin were walking to the Jin's car, when Jin stumbled over someone's extended foot. He was about to get mad at however had tripped him until he set his eye's on Keiko. "Ha, very funny Doughnuts!" he exclaimed wrapping his arm around her neck and dragging her along with them.
"Ugh! Stop calling me that! It's Cakes, not doughnuts!" she yelled still laughing.
"Nah, I call you Doughnuts," he said poking at her stomach. "Because you getting kinda chubby."
Keiko gasped playfully, "You jerk!" she said pushing him away. "Yusuke am I fat?" she asked looking over at him.
"Nope babe, not at all." Yusuke replied. He and Keiko had had sex again the week after their first reencounter.
"See Jin you're just a big meanie!" Keiko stated sticking her tongue out.
"So are you going to Botan's party?" Jin asked her.
Keiko nodded, "I'm heading over there after I change and pick up Fujiko."
Jin looked at Yusuke and smirked. Yusuke just kept his eyes on his tennis shoes.
"Well there's my car, I'll see you guys in a few," she waved as she walk off to her car. Yusuke couldn't help his wandering eyes ass the admired Keiko's shapely butt. He silently prayed Fujiko wouldn't decide to come to the party.
Botan's house was filled to its capacity with teenagers by 11 o'clock. Keiko scanned the room for her cousin who had, minutes ago, been standing next to her dancing. She decided to give up her search and go dance with Botan, when she felt someone grab her arms. She spun around to meet Shishiwakamaru's smile.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if you've seen a Ms. Keiko Yukimura around here." He said loudly trying to beat out the sound of the blaring background music. "She seems to have been avoiding me these past couple of weeks so I decided to drive all the way out here to Sariaki district from Hibiya to find her." he gave a look accompanied by a smirk.
Keiko couldn't help but smile, "Hi Shishi." She said wrapping her arms his waist in a hug. "And I have not been avoiding you, I've just been busy." Keiko lied after the hug was broken.
"Sure." He replied smirking at her, "So can we step outside and talk?"
Keiko nodded, "Okay,"
They were almost out of the living room when Keiko again felt a strong hand grab her upper arm, this time pulling her roughly away from Shishi.
"Ouch!" she said looking up at the culprit. "Yusuke what are you doing?" she yelled over the music. She was being reluctantly being dragged across her best friend's living room by the love of her life. Yet, she was still angry. She honestly had been avoiding Shishi. The whole situation that occurred that day at the mall made her a bit uncomfortable, but seeing him again tonight had her interested in what he had to say. She really did like Shishi, and even though things were going great with Yusuke and her, she knew he hadn't ended his dealings with other girls. So Shishi was the perfect candidate to occupy her time once Yusuke returned to his normal self.
"Yusuke wait!" she said planting her feet firmly on the ground and pulling her arm away. "What the hell are you dragging me for?"
"I thought you weren't messing with that loser anymore." He said turning towards her. He looked around for a place they could talk. He opted for a spot against the living room wall, opposite of the stereo.
"What loser?" Keiko asked him looking up at him, "You mean Shishi?"
"Yeah Shishi," he snapped.
"Yusuke you're being ridiculous," Keiko said rolling her eyes, "There's no reason to be jealous. You know I love you. But you don't want to be with me and…"
"This isn't about jealousy, Keiko" Yusuke he yelled cutting her off. He stopped and lowered his voice. "Look, there are things about Shishi you don't know."
"Kinda like there are a few things she doesn't know about you huh?"
Both teens turned around to find Shishi standing there smirking, Suzuka standing behind him.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Yusuke growled taking a step forward, only to be blocked by Keiko's smaller frame. Keiko knew Yusuke, and she knew exactly what was going to happen if she didn't intervene.
"Okay maybe Shishi is a little too bold," Keiko thought to herself as she pressed against Yusuke form.
"I'm talking about a certain cousin of hers," he winked.
His words caught Keiko of guard, and allowed Yusuke to lunge out at Shishi, connecting his fist with Shishi's jaw.
"You too looked so darling together out there!" Botan screeched drunkenly at Yukina and Kuwabara.
"Thank you Botan," Yukina replied softly. "Maybe you should sit down"
"No seriously Yukina, you and Kuwabara are so perfect for each other," Botan yelled ignoring Yukina's suggestion.
Kuwabara chuckled, "Where is your boyfriend?"
Botan looked up at the ceiling, trying to process his question. "He's upstairs in my bedroom. He had a headache, but he's spending the night!" she winked.
Kuwabara laughed, "Wow, too much info." He replied.
"Hey!" Botan yelled, "What's he doing here!" she pointed.
Kuwabara followed her finger and saw Suzuka. He was just about to tease Botan about her ex-boyfriend when he noticed Shishiwakamaru smirking at Yusuke. In the next second Kuwabara found himself bear hugging Yusuke from behind, in an attempt to stop him from punching Shishi again, as people began to scatter away.
Shishi was now kneeling on the ground holding his jaw in shock. Suzuka rushed over to help his friend up. When Shishi rose from the floor, he wore another smirk on his face.
He turned to Keiko, and smiled; "I'll talk to you later" he winked walking away. This action made Yusuke even angrier, and Kuwabara had to struggle to keep him from lunging at Shishi again.
"Yusuke calm down!" Kuwabara barked, He the decided to drag his friend outside in Botan's huge backyard.
Keiko followed them furiously; Botan was right behind her, curious to know what was going on.
"What the hell did you" she growled pushing him.
Yusuke breathed in trying to calm his anger. "Keiko, you need to end this little thing you got going with Shishi." He stated.
"Yusuke this jealousy shit is going too far," Botan spoke up.
"I'm not jealous Botan," he snapped, "Suzuka and Shishi are creeps. They've got this scorebook for girls and they fuck girls and rate them. They did it to you, that's why I had to kick Suzuka's ass!" he yelled.
"They what?" Botan screeched, her drunken high, quickly falling.
"I don't give a damn about jealousy or scorebooks" Keiko interrupted, "What did Shishi mean when he said a certain cousin of mine," she asked looking into Yusuke eyes.
Kuwabara's jaw dropped, "Keiko…before you overreacts, just remember what Yusuke just said about Shishi and…"
"No Kuwabara. Do not try and defend him right now." Keiko snapped cutting him off.
Yusuke remained silent. He needed to get his thought together.
Keiko stood before him, her arms folded and her eyes locked on his, begging for the truth. "Yusuke please," she pleaded, "Just tell me the truth," he only sighed and ran his hands over his face.
Keiko growled in frustration, "Botan, I know you're best friends. If you know what's going on please tell me!" she pleaded, looking at the blue haired woman.
Botan shook her head, "Honestly I have no clue," she replied throwing her hands in the air. Jin suddenly appeared next to her.
"What going on?" he asked, he looked at Keiko's tear stained face.
"Jin," She said approaching him, "Please tell me what's going on between Yusuke and my cousin."
Jin sighed, "Keiko… What did she tell you?" he asked her, looking over at his own cousin, who was looking at the ground.
"Shishiwakamaru," Keiko responded.
"Keiko, Shishi's a loser. He only implied something between Fujiko and Yusuke to make you stop liking Yusuke. In all honesty it's Shishi who had sex with Fujiko, Suzuka too. She sneaks up to Hibiya district all the time, and."
"JIN!" Keiko yelled cutting him off. Jin stopped and looked at her sympathetically.
"Kuwabara?" She turned to him and looked at him. Kuwabara sighed and looked at the ground.
"So nobody is going to be honest with me. Jin I appreciate the info on how much of a slut my cousin is. But right now I need to know about Yusuke and Fujiko." She stated looking around.
"Keiko," Botan spoke up. "Honestly I think I'm the only on who really doesn't know what's going on. But it's pretty apparent what might be going on."
Keiko nodded at her friend.
"So if you already know, just ask." Botan continued.
Keiko nodded again and turned to Yusuke, who was now meeting her eye contact,
"Yusuke," she started, "Did you have sex with my cousin?"
Yusuke scratched the back of his head, "Yeah,"
Keiko's heart dropped as tears began to stream harder down her face. "Oh Yusuke," she said quietly, "Why? Of all the girls…why my cousin!" she screamed at him.
"Keiko, I'm sorry." He said quietly. It was killing him to watch Keiko pace back and forth, tears falling from her eye, as she ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.
"How many times?" Keiko asked, ignoring his apology.
"Once,"
"Honestly Yusuke, how many times?"
"Once Keiko. At Botan's last party. In Jin's car," He explained.
"When you were drunk," Keiko stated more than asked.
"He's telling the truth Keiko," Kuwabara spoke, "She approached him at the party, they had sex, and he ignored her from that day on. They even got into the last week because he wouldn't have sex with her."
"What do you mean?" Keiko asked looking at Kuwabara.
Yusuke spoke instead, "She texted me from your phone, making it seem like you wanted me to come over, it was the day you guys were going to the mall to shop for Yukina and Bo." Keiko nodded, he continued, "I came over and like a dumbass, I followed her upstairs to the guest room. But nothing happened, I couldn't get over the memories of sleeping in there when we were younger, ya know."
Keiko sniffled and nodded. "Still, Yusuke, drunk or not you were in the wrong." She stated turning and walking away from him. "I'm going home now, Botan."
Botan nodded. "I think I'd better shut down the party." She stated following Keiko.
"C'mon Urameshi, let's go home," Jin said quietly,
"Yeah man, you did the right thing" Kuwabara added.
Yusuke sighed, as he followed the boys into the house.
Botan's house was cleared in a matter of minutes.
She turned when she felt a hand rest on her shoulders. She turned to find Yusuke standing behind her. "Hey Yusuke,"
"Meet me at the burger place tomorrow around three." He stated. "We can talk a little more about…everything."
"Okay," Botan nodded, "Go home and get some sleep."
Once everyone had left, Botan locked her doors and headed up the stairs to her bedroom.
She smiled when she enter the dark room. Kurama lay stretched out in her bed sound asleep. She quietly slipped of her jeans and top, and rummaged through her dresser for a night gown.
After redressing she crawled into the bed and laid next to him on her side, her head propped up with her hand. He was so beautiful as he peacefully slept. She ran her index across his forehead, moving the stray strands of hair that rested there.
His eyes fluttered open. "Well what wonderful sight to wake up to." He stated in a raspy voice.
"Sorry to wake you." She whispered,
Kurama sat up and stretched, "What time is it?"
"Almost one in the morning," Botan replied, "I'm surprised you were able to sleep through all the commotion."
Kurama's eyebrow furrowed in concern, "What happened?" he asked.
Botan recalled the event step by step, while Kurama shook his head in shame the whole time.
"Well at least he told her the truth." He commented once Botan was finished.
"Yeah, I still can't believe her slept with that whore!" Botan growled, "and I can't believe her didn't tell me."
Kurama remained silent. His thoughts quickly abandoned Yusuke's current drama, and focused on the curvy body of the girl lying next to him. Her hair was long and flowing as it sprawled over her shoulders and exposed breast, ending by resting across the bed spread.
"It's rude to stare," she stated sexily as she watched him eye her.
"I was just wondering how you manage to let your hair grow that long." He joked.
Botan shrugged, grabbing a section of blue locks and twirling it, "I dunno. Just never cut it I guess." She replied, "But I think my hair length is the last thing on your mind." She added sensually, raising her body so that she was now straddling his upright form.
Kurama only smirked as she brought their lips together.
Keiko stormed into her house in a furious rage, only to calm when she found her parent sitting down on the couch cuddling. The TV displayed an old post war black and white film.
"Everything okay, Cakes?" her father asked looking up at her.
"Uhh…Yeah daddy," She lied putting on a fake smile. "Umm...is Fujiko home yet?"
"No sweetie, I thought she left with you." Her father replied confused.
"Yeah, she left with some friends." Keiko replied quietly.
"Well get out of your party clothes, and come join us." Kei stated.
Keiko nodded and ran upstairs. She wasn't exactly wearing party clothes, just some jeans and a strapless pink top. On her feet she wore matching patent leather pumps. She felt so pretty, yet the nights events left her feeling drained, and she still needed to confront Fujiko. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard her cell phone ring.
"Hello?" she answered solemnly, removing her jeans.
"Hey Keiko," it was Yukina; "Kazuma told me what happened, are you okay?"
Keiko smiled; Yukina was always looking after her. "I'd be lying if I told you I was completely okay. I'm just afraid of how I'm going to react once Fujiko gets home."
"I can't believe they would go behind your back like this." Yukina exclaimed.
"Tell me about it." Keiko stated slipping her pajamas on. "So what are you and Kuwabara doing? I'm sorry I got the party shut down."
Yukina chuckled, "Its okay, we're just sitting on the couch watching TV. Kazuma keeps whining because I'm on the phone and won't cuddle with him."
Keiko laughed, "Well don't let me interrupt the love, thanks for calling though."
"No problem Keiko," Yukina said before hanging up the phone. She turned to her boyfriend and smiled, "Are you happy now?"
"Yep," Kuwabara smirked pulling her face to his.
"Such a crybaby." Yukina added before their lips met.
Keiko's heartbeat raced. As soon as she hung up her phone she heard the front door close. She raced downstairs, once again in a furious rage, just in time to see Fujiko lying to her parents about where she was; a fake smile was plastered across her face.
She spotted Keiko walking towards her, "Hey Keiko, how was the rest of…" she never got a chance to finish her sentence, as Keiko rushed right over and slapped her roughly across her face, causing her upper body to twist.
"Keiko!" Kotomi screamed as she and her husband jumped up to subdue their outraged daughter.
Immediately after the slap, Keiko proceeded grab Fujiko by her hair, bring her face up. This time Keiko connected her balled fist, with Fujiko's face. That's as far as she got before her father pick her up and carried her to the other side of the room, screaming obscenities the whole way.
"Keiko that's enough," He roared, shaking his daughter. "What the hell is going on?" he asked, his chest rising and falling as he caught his breathe.
"Uncle Kei, I have no clue what her problem is!" Fujiko screamed angrily. She was silently praying her uncle would give her open space, so that she could return Keiko the favor.
"The hell you don't!" Keiko yelled.
"Keiko, watch your mouth!" Kotomi yelled, "Why did you attack Fujiko?"
"Gone on Fujiko," Keiko panted, "tell them what you did."
Fujiko glared at Keiko angrily, "What are you talking about."
"Keiko, what is going on?" her father pleaded.
"Fujiko had sex with Yusuke!" Keiko replied, tears forming in her eyes.
Fujiko stopped glaring, and look of fear washed over her face.
"WHAT?!?" her parents exclaimed in unison. They both looked at Fujiko.
"Fujiko?" Kotomi asked looking over at her niece.
"Keiko who told you this?" Kei asked looking at his daughter, who was now in tears.
"He did!" Keiko sniffed, "Oh wait actually, Shishi and his cousin, whom she's also in question for having sex with, referenced it to me, causing Yusuke to punch him in the jaw. Then I had hear the whole story from him and Kuwabara." She explained sarcastically.
"Fujiko is this true?" Kotomi asked in disbelief. Fujiko remained quiet.
"Yes it's true," Keiko spoke, "And here is something else. She took my cell phone and tried to lure Yusuke here, so she could seduce him again. But he didn't go for it, because she was stupid enough to bring into the guest room. Where he used to sleep! Fujiko is nothing more than a whore!"
"Keiko, that's enough!" her mother snapped, "No more profanities."
"No, no mom!" Keiko yelled, "You guys brought her here and she's ruined my life! She slept with my boyfriend!"
"He's not your boyfriend!" Fujiko finally spoke, "I bet they don't even know that he's the town flirt do they? How many girlfriends he has? How much he's broken your heart? How much of a dog their precious Yusuke is?"
This time the slap came from Kotomi, "You hush!"
Fujiko held her cheek I shock. "But…"
"You don't know anything about Yusuke!" Kotomi hollered, "Both of you go upstairs and go to sleep, we'll deal with this in the morning!"
Keiko quietly obliged tears staining her cheeks. Fujiko followed.
Once Keiko entered her room she plopped down on her bed and sighed. She had went from having a wonderful day at school with the pep rally and going to the homecoming game cheering on her friend, crying on her bed, because of the people around her.
She wretch over and grabbed her cell phone of off the night stand where she left it before she had rushed downstairs to confront Fujiko. She looked at the screen. She had missed three calls and five text messages. The calls were from Yusuke and so were four of the text messages.
"Keiko I'm sorry can we just talk about this."
"I really do love you Keiko, please call me back."
"Dammit Keiko answer please. We need to talk about this shit."
"Well, goodnight. I love you. Please call me in the morning."
Each text was sent four minutes apart, between each call. The last text was from Shishi.
"Hope I was some help today. Showed some of Yusuke's true colors huh?"
Keiko looked at the clock. He had sent that message five minutes ago.
"Yusuke can wait until the morning." She thought to herself, "Right now I need to straighten out Shishi."
"No you didn't help at all. I've known Yusuke my whole life. I don't need anybody's help, I know the real him. And as for him being sleeping with my cousin, you're one to talk." She texted.
"Hey cutie, calm down lol. I was just trying to help. And what do you mean? You don't think I slept with Fujiko too do you?"
"Well how else would you know Yusuke did? I know all about her coming up there to see you. And I know you and Suzuka had sex with her."
"He's lying on me to make himself look good!" Shishi pleaded his case.
"Yusuke isn't he one who told me…but he DID tell me about you little score book! So umm…how much was Fuji worth? Better yet, how much was I worth?"
"Hahaha…Fujiko was worth 25 points only because we heard she was easy. Suzuka got those points, I admit I only fucked her for that fun of it. You on the other hand were worth 100 points. But I really started liking you Keiko. I swear I wasn't in it for the points, why else would I buy you the present?"
"How's your jaw?" was her response, which caught him off guard.
"Lol a little swollen."
"Well you deserved it. Yusuke's not one to be tested."
"Whatever, so how about a movie tomorrow." He asked boldly.
"No. Shishi I think we should just cut out everything. I got too much on my plate as it is." She texted back. She knew Shishi couldn't be trusted, and even though she was furious with Yusuke, she knew he was telling the truth.
"Keiko…I really do like you. I swear I'm not in this for some stupid points."
Keiko didn't text back. She just wanted to go to sleep, and start over in the morning.
