The Clichéd Body Switching, YYH Style

Chapter 6: Becoming Shuiichi Minamino Part 1: The Lesson

If you've ever stayed up very late into the night, or perhaps to the very early hours of the morning, and then some asshole goes and wakes you up unexpectedly a short while after you finally enter Morpheus's Dreamland, say at four in the morning, then you've been extremely cranky. You've wanted to rip that bastard's bloody intestines out with your bare hands and spill his/her blood all over the floor until you get the real Red Sea. But, if this baka told you that he was going to wake you up at that specified time, then you are the idiot and I have no sympathy. So get your lazy ass up!!!! Now!!! Yes I'm talking to you...okay...sorry. Anyway, so despite the fact that Hiei in Kurama stayed out late at Genkai's dojo and had come to Kurama's home with a despaired and worried mother, who wasn't really his anyway, but she didn't know that, waiting for him. So she smothered him with hugs and kisses and was so happy that he had come home, Kurama in Yusuke had told him that he was coming over at four in the morning to get him ready for school [and he so he did not fell the need to rip Kurama's (or Yusuke's, rather) intestines out]. This did not stop him from feeling slightly cranky when he heard a sharp RAP! RAP! RAP! at the window at that hour of the morning that woke him out of his newly found sleep.
Hiei in Kurama walked over to the window, opened it and let Kurama in Yusuke in the bedroom. He glumly walked back to the bed and sat on it.
"Yes, that is a superb place to start, Hiei or Shuiichi I should say," chirped Kurama in Yusuke as if he had just had the grandest sleep of his life. Actually, when he had entered Yusuke's home, Yusuke's mother had smothered him with shouts and whacks on the head for being home so late. "How to sit." He moved over to the bed and sat next to Hiei, who was sitting with one knee up (his right one- and his right arm on top of the knee, bending toward his body at the elbow) and his other leg bent like this: (kind of.more at a right angle) on the bed with his left foot just touching his right. His left arm was behind him. Kurama in Yusuke, however, sat near the edge of the bed (which was clothed in red sheets with white pillow cases

) and crossed his right leg over his left and rested his hands gently on his right knee; perfectly straight and chin completely parallel with the white carpeted floor. It was perfect. if it was Kurama's body. However, the position did NOT fit Yusuke.NOT!!! It made him look like a.a really big pansy (A/N: No offence to homosexuals of course ^__^;;).
Hiei imitated Kurama in Yusuke, and pulled Kurama's body (A/N: That sounds so.wrong) into the cross-legged posture and did it pretty accurately. He might be able to pull this off, thought Kurama.
"Good," Kurama in Yusuke rewarded. "Now, the walk." He stood up. Hiei rolled Kurama's eyes, but inside he was cracking up. I mean, come on. You would too if you saw Yusuke (his body at least) acting like this. At any rate, now Yusuke's body was doing the "Kurama Walk," or (code named) the "Pocketed Pace." (A/N: That's so.stupid XD). Yusuke's body had his hands resting gently in his pockets and was walking around the room, head slightly down and eyes slightly closed, and walking at a slow, steady pace. He stopped directly in front of his real body and gradually raised his eyelids up until his eyes rested on the face of his actual body, which Hiei was residing in. A classic Kurama gaze (FANGIRLS: SWOON!!!). "Now you try."
Hiei released Kurama's body (A/N: Again.wrong.) from the sitting position and attempted the Pocketed Pace.with, I'm sorry to say, very little success. He was used to walking with his arms folded across his chest, and the pocketed thing was just plain awkward for him. But even worse, was the pace itself.slow. Hiei just wasn't used to being slow and constantly calm; quiet. Kurama's body didn't move faster than the human eye, as Hiei's did. "I'm sorry Kurama, hn, Yusuke. I'm not used to moving this slowly."
"Keep trying," encouraged Kurama. "Keep walking around the room. I'll choose today's wardrobe, and in the mists of it all, we'll try to perfect your speech." Kurama in Yusuke walked over to the wardrobe at the far end of the room and threw it open; eager to begin. Over thirty of the same pink suits hung neatly on hangers near the front of the wardrobe.
"What's inside all the drawers?" asked Hiei in Kurama, stumbling around the room, tripping over his feet as he tried to move them slowly across the floor.
Kurama looked down at the drawers in the bottom of the wardrobe. "Oh.well, there is that white shirt/black pants outfit I wore in "Poltergeist Report," the blue spandex/yellow cover outfit that I also wore in "Poltergeist Report," and.um (A/N: What else has he worn.), yeah. Anyway." He was staring thoughtfully at the pink clothes, ".speech. You have a rather decent vocabulary, so you should be all right there. However, you're making my voice harsh and loud. That's not me at all. Calm your voice down, your facial expressions too, and speak more carefully, softer, slower. You shouldn't be able to tell what I'm thinking or feeling from my voice or face." He began to sort through some of the pinkness and he grabbed two outfits out of the wardrobe. He held them up to look at them more closely.they were EXACTLY the same. Or so everyone thinks.
"Kurama, I fail to see a difference between those two outfits," pointed out Hiei in Kurama. He had the speech down okay, but his stride was still far from being the Pocketed Pace.
Kurama turned his head to look at Hiei and tilted it to one side, closed his eyes, and laughed; all in a sweeping grace that was unknown to Yusuke's body. Apparently he was adjusting to Yusuke's body better than Hiei was adjusting to Kurama's. "Yes, that's what everyone thinks. Really, all my pink outfits are a little different from all my other pink outfits; no two are exactly the same. I have one for each day of the month (A/N: Therefore, he has 31 pink outfits, but only wears all of them every other month because of the day difference- and in February, he wears two less than all the pinkness he has because of the two day difference!! XD) See." He carefully showed Hiei the cuffs of the sleeves on one of the two outfits that he had taken out of the wardrobe. Little "14"s were embroidered in pink on the edge of the cuffs; that is, one on each side of the cuff. "They're on the pant cuffs too. However, they're so small and are embroidered in such similar colors, that lots of times I have to fin the general area of the clothes, and pull two or three out until I find the right one." He placed outfit number 14 back into the wardrobe and turned to the other one, which he had placed on the bed. It was outfit 16. It was the right one for the day, and he told Hiei to remember that tomorrow was the 17th so that he should wear outfit 17 tomorrow. Walking over to the bed, Hiei looked down at the outfit with some disgust.pink. He sucked it up and bore it, until Kurama laid a pair of white boxers, with a pink number 16 on them, on top of the pink outer garments.
"Why.ahem, why do you where WHITE boxers, but have an all PINK outfit otherwise?" he fumed. All of this God forsaken organization was getting to him, so the question he asked was just to stop him from saying, What the HELL is with all this organization?! The colors were enough, but now this?! Hiei knew this meant a lot to Kurama though, so he just smiled and bore it. "Just wondering."
"Oh, well actually, I normally wear hot pink briefs (FANGIRLS: *SWOON*) (A/N: Sexy.XD) but I figured you wouldn't want to wear those, so I got out my white boxers." Hiei was suddenly very grateful for backup boxers. "Now, you changed and I'll be right back. (YAOI FANGIRLS: Oh, come on, help him change.. you KNOW you WANT to!). Kurama in Yusuke looked out the bedroom door to make sure no one was out in the hallway, and left.
Hiei looked down with distaste at the clothes, but put them on anyway. Right when he finished, Kurama reentered the bedroom holding a hairbrush, hairspray, and per.per... perfume, oh shit, thought Hiei.
"Hair," sang Kurama, "is the most fun part of getting ready." He put the hairspray and per.per.perfume on the bedside table and sat on the bed, this time with his legs folded Indian style. He instructed Hiei to sit in front of him on the floor. "The front is brushed forward, and the rest is down and slightly flipped out in the back. The front takes a lot of hairspray.especially this little bit here that sticks up a little. Oh, and normally I do all this in the bathroom, but I'm doing it here so that no one who needs to use the bathroom discovers us in there." Kurama in Yusuke happily sprayed away with the hairspray at his real head of hair, while giving Hiei tips. Hiei was astonished that he was able to breath in the hairspray-polluted air. Then he realized that Kurama did this every morning and assumed that his body's lungs were used to it. "Now all you need to do is get your books together and you're done! And by six o'clock too, good timing. Oh, put on some of my rose perfume.it smells so good! Breakfast is at 6:30, and leave at sevenish for school- I'm always early- you know the way there I daresay. This was the lesson and school is the test, Shuiichi (A/N: XD); remember that that is your name there- not Kurama or Hiei- and keep practicing that walk." Before Hiei could say anything, Kurama in Yusuke had slipped out of the window and gone home.
"This is gonna.suck," remarked Hiei aloud, and went to get his school things ready.
