Okay, I decided that Keiko will find out. And boy will she freak at
Yuusuke. ^-^ Man, those last two chapters were really mushy... I'll try and
make this one not as bad. So. Umm... Read on!
Yuusuke sat awake at about 5 in the morning, trying to think of what he would do. If Keiko found out he would be toast. He knew how she was when she was mad, but he thought it would be worse with this little problem. Sparx rolled over and looked up at Yuusuke.
"When'd you wake up?" She asked, and Yuusuke shrugged.
"I dunno, a little while ago. I'm trying to think of a way to tell Keiko without her wanting to kill me within two minutes." He said, with a slight laugh. Sparx smiled and rolled onto her back, staring at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry if I caused any problems." She said slowly, but Yuusuke shook his head.
"No, Aishiteru Sparx. You could never cause any problems. Keiko will just have to understand, that's all. And if she doesn't, well, too bad for her." Yuusuke said, watching the window, waiting for the sun to rise. Sparx smiled and sat up stretching.
"I love you too, Yuusuke. Yuu-chan? Why do you like me?" Sparx asked, sitting on the side of the bed. Yuusuke thought for a moment, and then looked at her.
"You're fun to be around, and I just like you. You're easy to like. I dunno, maybe I'm just crazy, but I really do like you." Yuusuke said slowly, and Sparx smiled slightly.
"I just wanted to know. Well," she said, stretching. "I guess we'd better get up and get ready for breakfast. We're prolli almost at the island, since we could see it yesterday." She said. Yuusuke nodded and jumped out of the bed. He walked over to the bathroom, and stood in front of the door.
"I call first dibs on the shower!" he shouted, and ran in. Sparx laughed, and picked up her bag. She pulled out her little green book and opened up to the 1st page. She read through the book, and turned to the next blank page to start writing. After a few minutes she put the book back in her bag and lay back on the bed. It had been a wonderful couple days, besides the fight. But Yuusuke was fine, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to run or jump like he did.
"Can I come in?" Came a soft voice from outside. Sparx sat up and looked at the door. She walked over to it and opened it.
"Oh, hello Kurama." She said, and Kurama nodded his greeting. "What are you here for?" She asked curiously, stepping back to allow him to enter.
"I was looking for my bag. Hiei said that he forgot to bring it into our room, and yesterday I went without changing my clothes. Oh, and I brought Yuusuke's." he said, in his soft voice. Sparx nodded and walked over to the bathroom door. Without knocking, she opened it stepped in looked under the sink.
"Who's there?" came Yuusuke's voice from in the shower.
"Only me, silly. I'm getting Kurama's bag, yours is on the bed." She said, quickly picking up Kurama's pink bag. She turned and handed it to Kurama, who nodded and smiled and walked out. She smiled and stepped out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She laughed as she heard Yuusuke start singing in the shower.
"Singing in the rain, singing in the rain!" He sang, and Sparx shook her head. He could sing, yeah, but he needed to choose a better song. She sat down in the bed and looked through his stuff. All of it was green except a Mexican like shirt. He also had a few pairs of jeans. She smiled and pulled out the multi-colored shirt and a pair of jeans. That would be what he'd wear.
She walked over to the door again and opened it. He stopped singing almost immediately and she laughed and set the clothes down on the toilet. "Here are some clothes for you to wear." She said, and stepped into the door way. "Oh, and I like you singing, just sing something better." She said, closing the door and walking back over to the bed.
"That's what I like about you! You know you make me." She laughed again. She didn't think this song was much better, besides the fact that he didn't know all the words. She looked through his bag again and found two bottle of hair gel. She'd wait 'til he got out to give him this.
After about another 20 minutes of Yuusuke singing songs he didn't know, he stepped out of the shower, wearing the Mexican shirt and the jeans. Sparx laughed and he frowned.
"What, something wrong with this outfit?" he asked, in a voice that said If-You-Don't-Like-What-I'm-Wearing-Why-Did-You-Choose-It? Sparx shook her head and pointed at his hair. It was sticking up at odd angles, and looked spiked. Almost like Hiei's.
"You look like Hiei." She said laughing. Yuusuke walked back into the bathroom and screamed, running out and trying to tame his hair. Sparx tossed him a bottle of hair gel and he quickly fixed his hair.
"Thanks again." He said, and tossed the bottle back into his bag.
"Nice shot." Sparx commented with a laugh. Yuusuke grinned and sat down on the bed staring out the window.
"Y'know, I think today'll be a nice day." He said, and Sparx nodded.
"Yeah, just look at the sunrise." She said. Then she got up and pulled out a green shirt with blue lightning bolts across the arms and a pair of blue jeans out of her bag. She grabbed some other bits of clothing that she needed and walked into the bathroom, being sure to tell Yuusuke not to walk in on her without knocking first.
"You walked in on me without knocking!" He protested and she waved a finger at him.
"That was because I could tell you were in the shower already, but I don't sing in the shower, so you wouldn't know." She said, and shut the door. Yuusuke grumbled something incoherent, but Sparx seemed to have heard anyway. "No, I'm not just being mean! I like my privacy as much as anyone else!" She shouted from the bathroom.
Yuusuke nodded, though she couldn't see him and lay back on the bed, playing with the bandages around his chest. Last night had been awful, but he knew now that Sparx could be counted on in a tight spot. From the deck above he could hear someone shouting, a girl, and another boy shouting back. They were arguing about Hiei. Yuusuke laughed as he recognized one of the voices as Kurama's and the other as that girl Blaize.
"Hiei is mine, you red headed freak!" The girl screamed, and Kurama gasped. Yes, Yuusuke could hear him gasp. They were just above him.
"He's mine; if he was yours he would've had Kurama change rooms with Jin and not Yuusuke!" Kurama yelled back, though it wasn't very loud. Blaize stormed off and Kurama laughed slightly. Yuusuke pushed the conversation out of his head and looked out the window again. Yeah, they were almost to the island, he could already see one end of it through the window.
He watched the color of the sky change from gold to blue, and couldn't help but remember a poem that Sparx had told him the other night while he was laying hurt on the bed.
**flashback**
"Come on, Yuusuke. You need your rest, can't you sleep?" Sparx said, and Yuusuke grinned.
"Yeah, I can sleep. But I don't want to." He said, and Sparx frowned. She shook her head and pulled out a book form her bag. Not the little green one, but another one that she hadn't written. She opened it to a page and started to read out loud.
"Nothing gold can stay. Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold." She paused and looked at Yuusuke, who was wondering mentally what book she was reading. "The book is called The Outsiders. It's about a boy who is a greaser, and lives with his two brothers, and a bunch of other kids who are all a gang. They don't get along with the Soc's, which are all the rich snobbish kids. Though some of them aren't that bad." She smiled and turned back to the book.
"What's the poem you're reading called?" Yuusuke asked slowly, and Sparx thought for a moment.
"I believe it's called Nothing Gold Can Stay." She said, and then she smiled, looking out the window. "A boy named Johnny remembers this poem when he and Ponyboy are watching a sunset. The poem is by Robert Frost. "She said, then she laughed. "I'm getting carried away." She said, and she finished the poem.
***end flashback... sorry, but I don't remember some of the poem; if I do I'll repost this chapter. ***
"Yuusuke recited the poem out loud as he watched the sky change color. About 10 minutes later the bathroom door opened and Sparx walked out drying her hair. She pulled a purple hair brush out of her bag and brushed it through quickly. Then she walked over to the bed and put her hair up in a pony tail. She sat down on the bed and looked at Yuusuke, who grinned.
"Well, I guess we'd better go get breakfast then, huh?" Yuusuke said, and Sparx nodded.
"Food is good!" She said, and they both raced out the door and down the hall, eventually making it to the food hall. Sparx laughed as Yuusuke jumped celabratorily. (AN: Is that even a word? I have no clue. Oh well)
"I won, I won!" He shouted as Sparx shoved him into a seat, taking one next to him.
"Calm down, Yuu." She said, and he grinned. Sparx grabbed a plate of pancakes and put three blueberry ones on her plate. Yuusuke hungrily put a couple sausages and some eggs on his plate, eating quickly. Sparx laughed as she ate her pancakes, finishing the first one in minutes. "You're going to get a stomach ach." She said, as Yuusuke finished the plate and put some more food on it.
"So? I'm starved." He said, and eating again. Sparx shook her head, finishing her pancakes and she sat waiting for him to finish. Once he was done, an announcement had gone over the speakers.
"Will all persons aboard this ship please report to the top deck for debarking. Thank you and have a gruesome stay at Hanging Neck Island." The man said, and a beeping noise showed that he had gone off. Yuusuke grinned and looked around for Hiei, Kuwabara, and Kurama. They were sitting at another table, Hiei at the end away from everyone else, Kurama at the other end, and Kuwabara was sitting nearer to Kurama, but still in the middle.
"Well, I guess we'd better go to the deck." Sparx said, and they walked over to Kuwabara who was still eating. Kurama had already started to try and get him to stop. After 10 minutes of pushing and shoving, they had gotten Kuwabara to get up and go to the upper deck.
"Finally." Yuusuke gasped, he had been doing the most work in pushing Kuwabara. Hiei hadn't helped at all, and Kurama and Sparx hadn't tried very hard. Sparx laughed and gave Kuwabara one last shove. It would have propelled him off the boat, had one small girl not been in the way.
"Hey Keiko." Kuwabara said, helping her up. Yuusuke's eyes widened.
"Oh shit, how did she get on the boat?" he asked, and then glared at Botan. She must've gotten Keiko on the boat. Yuusuke hid behind Sparx. Or at least tried, as Sparx was slightly shorter than him. Keiko looked over and saw his hair sticking out. as well as his shirt.
"Hi Yuusuke!" She shouted running to him. Sparx rubbed the back of her neck nervously as Keiko stopped and glared at her. "Who're you?" She asked, and Sparx smiled slightly.
"Umm. hi. My name is Sparx." She said. At least Keiko how she knew Yuusuke. Yuusuke waved slightly and Sparx pushed him forward. "Tell her." She whispered in his ear and Keiko tilted her head.
"Tell me what, Yuusuke?" She asked, and Yuusuke frowned.
"Well, Keiko." he said slowly. "You have to promise not to get mad but. Well, she's my girlfriend sort of. and you're not." He said. Keiko gasped and Sparx covered her ears, knowing the bout of screaming that would soon happen.
"YUUSUKE HOW COULD YOU? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" She shouted, and Yuusuke flinched back. Sparx frowned at Keiko. Her voice was ringing through her hand. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, YUUSUKE. I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU AS LONG AS I LIVE!" She finished, and walked off huffily. Kuwabara grinned and went off to try and get her to like him, since she was finished with Yuusuke. Sparx took her hands away from her ears and looked at Yuusuke.
"It wasn't that bad." She said nervously, and Yuusuke nodded slowly.
"Yeah, whatever." he said, and then they turned to walk off the boat and set foot on Hanging Neck Island.
Wow, that was long. I hope you guys liked it. I stink at humor, so don't blame me if it isn't funny. I get my ideas from my friends, so don't hurt me, hurt them. "Watches as various items are thrown at friends, some of which are lawn mowers and potted plants.* Now I hold the line at potted plant, one almost killed me and my friend the other day. *a potted plant is thrown at me and knocks me out. Yami JB takes over* as my hikari is now unable to finish, read and review, or I'll kill you.
Yuusuke sat awake at about 5 in the morning, trying to think of what he would do. If Keiko found out he would be toast. He knew how she was when she was mad, but he thought it would be worse with this little problem. Sparx rolled over and looked up at Yuusuke.
