Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 5: A Date?! Chance!
"What did you want to talk to me about, aniki?" Yukina questioned, turning
curious eyes on her brother.
Hiei frowned for a moment, then decided to just say it. "I want you to invite
the three of them for supper, either tonight or tomorrow night. We need to be
around them outside of a school environment. There is no opportunity to view
what levels of spiritual energy they might have while we're here," he replied.
Yukina nodded, then blushed prettily. "Do you think Kazuma-kun would like to
come?" she asked.
Giving his sister a look, Hiei was silent for a few moments. "You need to
remember that they are humans," he told her firmly.
Sticking out her tongue, Yukina made a face at him. "I should say the same about
you," she replied.
Blinking, the demon stared at his sister. "What do you mean?" he finally
stammered.
She gave him a playful look. "Oh, nothing important. Maybe I'll explain it to
you later," she replied, laughing a little.
He scowled at her and was going to demand an explination when the school bell
rang. Yukina gave him a wide grin and a wave before running off in the direction
of her classroom. With nothing else left to do, Hiei made the way to his own.

"Keiko, what are you doing here?" Yuusuke questioned, looking up to see his
girlfriend peeking in through the doorway. He was on the roof of the school, an
easy place to hide when he felt like skipping. Classes should of been going
right then, so he couldn't imagine why Keiko would be up here.
"I thought that you would be here. I needed to talk to you about something,"
Keiko replied, biting her lip as she sat down next to him.
Instantly alert by the worry in her eyes, Yuusuke sat up quickly. "What is it?"
he asked, taking her hand.
"I was working in the classroom during lunch, today. There was no one else in
the classroom, but it felt as though I was being watched anyway. I remembered
what you and Minamino-kun had said, and I was worried. I looked around me, but
there was no one there, or even outside the window. It wasn't until the teacher
came back that the feeling went away," she replied.
Sighing, Yuusuke wrapped his arm around Keiko's body and held her close to him.
He could feel her trembling slightly. "Don't worry about it, okay? It was
probably just your imagination after hearing about what happened to Shuuichi and
myself this morning. You're probably just worried, or stressed out about exams
in two weeks," he replied.
Keiko was quiet for a moment, then nodded. "I know. It was silly of me to get so
upset about it. I just couldn't forget the sensation," she replied.
"Well, I'll protect you, even if it is from your own imagination!" Yuusuke
declared.
Laughing, all traces of her fear vanished, Keiko got back to her feet. "Thank
you, Yuusuke. I'm going to go back to class now. You should come with me, you
know," she replied, back to her usual scolding.
Waving a hand, Yuusuke made a face. "I'll come to the last period. I really
don't feel like going to math," he replied.
"Oi! You're going to fail!" Keiko exclaimed.
Settling in to their usual fashion of arguing, Yuusuke couldn't help but feel
glad that he'd gotten Keiko to, at least momentarily, forget about her earlier
fear.

"Hey, Urameshi, Minamino!"
The two students turned to see Kuwabara and Yukina standing in the hallway
behind them, both smiling. "Kazuma-kun, Yukina-chan, how was your afternoon?"
Shuuichi asked, pulling Yuusuke to a stop so they could talk to the other
students.
"It was very interesting," Yukina said.
"Boring!" Kuwabara complained at the same time, then blushed scarlet. "I mean,
it was interesting too, but it was review for me," he quickly stammered.
Yukina laughed a little, then turned back to Yuusuke and Shuuichi. "My brother
and I were wondering if you two would like to come to the temple for dinner
tonight," she stated.
"Hiei invited us?" Shuuichi said, a dreamy expression in his eyes.
Although Kuwabara looked a little uncomfortable, Yukina barely hid a smile
behind her hand. "Well, I meantioned that I would like you to come, so that I
can get to know you better. He didn't object," she replied.
"Wrapped around your finger," Yuusuke commented, grinning.
Yukina giggled and shrugged. "Will you come?" she asked.
"Of course," Shuuichi replied, nodding. A chance to hang out with Hiei outside
of school was not a chance to be passed up!
Yuusuke frowned a little. "I promised Keiko that I would go over to her house
after school," he said.
"Oh," Yukina replied, looking disappointed. Then her face lit up. "Maybe she
would like to come too? I'm a good cook, and it would be no problem to make a
little more. She is very well known with the other students, and I'd like the
chance to get to know her."
Yuusuke thought about it, then nodded. "I'm pretty sure she would like to go. It
would save her from having to made supper tonight," he replied with a laugh.
Keiko had promised she would meet Yuusuke at the front of the school. Yukina
told them that Hiei was meeting her there as well. As the others made small talk
behind him, Shuuichi found himself almost floating down the hallway, caught in
his own little world. He had the opportunity to get to know Hiei better, even
visit the other's home. Shuuichi was determined that, even if he got rejected,
he would ask Hiei out before the week was through!
If any of the other's saw the silly grin on his face, they didn't comment.
