Cheeto: Hiya peoples! I missed my eye doctor appointment because it was my friends birthday, so I donno about my eyes. -_-

Anyways. Yeah, here it is. The last chapter.

*breaks down crying.*

Sensei: *rolls eyes and pats Cheeto's head as she cries on his shoulder.* It's okay. Your writing another story , remember?

Cheeto: *Perks immediately, then cries again.* But this is my masterpiece!! *runs away sobbing.*

Sensei: *sighs* Okay, I will try and drag Cheeto back, so you read the story. ^-^

*~Chapter Eighteen~*



Almost everyone had gathered in the center of the house.

"Where's Kurama and Botan?" Sango asked, wondering about the two's absence. Shippo came into the room, closing the door quietly behind him.

"Sleeping."

Yusuke's eyes widened. "You mean as in . .together? As in . .?" He blushed cherry red.

"Get your mind out of the gutter." Shippo said, rolling his eyes. "Kurama's sleeping and Botan's watching him. Gees." Kuwabara began to laugh hysterically.

"Yeah Urameshi! Next we'll be washing your mouth out with soap!" he laughed uncontrollably, causing a vein to pop out on Yusuke's forehead. He punched Kuwabara in the head. "Shut up!"

"Hey, you shouldn't punch the injured!" He ran up to Yukina, taking her hands. "Yukina, would you heal Kazuma's widdle boo boo?" It hurts so much! Maybe you can kiss it and make it better . ." Hiei growled and Yusuke got up, going over to the demon and punching him in the shoulder.

"Don't worry Hiei. You'll find someone special one day. How far off that is, I can't tell you-"

"Don't touch me." The fire demon snarled, "That is, if you enjoy living. Or maybe I'll just send you running to your girlfriend like the baka over there."

"Your gonna get it runt!"

"Maybe you should have Yukina heal that 'widdle boo boo.' Apparently that blow to the head destroyed what little brain cells you had left."

The other group watched the verbal assault continue, seat-dropping. "I'll never understand them."

"Oh, believe me, the boys at school are worse."

"Speaking of that." Yusuke grinned, wrapping his arm around Keiko. "Did I kick ass or what? First I was gettin the crap beaten out of me, them bam! Demon form, hello! Then Ketsueki's all like 'Ahh!' then-"

"Yes, Yusuke. I know. I was there, remember?"

"Yeah!" Inuyasha yelled, "And I was the one that killed him!"

"Yeah right!"

Thus ensued another ridiculous argument, the Yusuke and Inuyasha's faces inches apart, yelling about who 'really' killed Ketsueki, veins popping out of their foreheads as they glared daggers at each other.

"Boys . ."

"Oh whatever, you couldn't kill flies on the windshield!"

"What the hell's a windshield?! You couldn't kill flies, period!"

"Boys . ."

"WELL YOUR STUPID!"

"WHAT KIND OF COMEBACK IS THAT?!"

"Boys . ."

"SHUT UP!" Botan screeched from the side door. "SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

The door slammed behind her.

"What's her problem?" Inuyasha asked, looking at the other boy.

"I donno. PMS?"

"Yusuke!" *Bam*

"Ow, what did I do now?!"

Shippo shook his head. "And they call me immature."

Miroku grinned. "Actually, Inuyasha, it was Kagome that defeated Ketsueki with one of her sacred arrows."

Both boys' jaws dropped, staring at the girl, who frowned.

"I can take care of my self, thank you!" Kaede appeared, oblivious to the various debates, laying down a tray filled with glasses as she sat down.

"Ye must stay for at least two more days." She said, " I know not how time travel will affect Ye's wounds, so it would be best if Ye is fully recovered before leaving."

Yusuke groaned. "Two more days? Man, I am really starting to miss toilet paper." He and scratched his butt exaggeratedly.

"Yusuke!"

*~Two days later~*

They all stood in front of the house. Kurama was leaning on Kuwabara's shoulder, the rest near fully recovered.

The girls all exchanged hugs, promising to keep in touch and visit, things like that. Miroku offered to give hugs, which the girls politely declined.

Hiei had been glaring at Kurama, everyone else taking a step back in fear of the smack down that was about to take place.

Hiei stared at the fox, then slowly closed his eyes and nodded, Kurama returning the gesture. The others breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can't leave!" Shippo wailed, running for the elder fox demon. He jumped up, Kurama catching him before the little fox could make contact with his wound, holding the him gently. Kurama smiled gently and ran a hand through his hair, pulling out a shockingly white rose. He handed it to the little demon, who clutched its thornless stem tightly.

Tears welled up in Shippo's eyes. "You'll come visit with Kagome, right?" Kurama nodded.

"But what if your boss wont let you?" Kurama ruffled his hair as he had when they first met, and smiled.

"Don't worry, I don't listen to Koenma anyways." Shippo smiled and hugged him, then jumped from his arms, and began to sprint for Kaede's hut.

Yusuke walked up to Inuyasha, stretching out his hand. "Had a hell of a time."

Inuyasha smirked, grasping the punks hand firmly, shaking it. "Can't argue with that." The two turned and walked to opposing sides with their friends, still smirking arrogantly.

"Ready to go, guys?" They all nodded, Botan fiddling with her watch.

Sango reached out and took Miroku's hand. He looked at her strangely and she smiled, not noticing where his other hand was going.

"UH! You PERVERT! You never learn, do you?!" her boomerang appeared out of nowhere, and she promptly smacked him over the head with it.

Yusuke snickered, but felt the overwhelming urge to do the same with Keiko. Not the perverted part, the hand holding part. Well, he actually wouldn't mind doing the perverted part . .

Yusuke intertwined his fingers with hers. She turned to look at him, somewhat puzzled, somewhat happy expression on her face.

*I'll always be there for you, Keiko.* With a flash of blinding light, team Urameshi disappeared with a puff of smoke, nothing but a memory.

***

Shippo smiled as he backed out of the closet, running back to his friends. Inside the dark confines of the tiny area lay a beautiful rose, embraced in the soft fur of a golden fox pelt.

*Fini*
