Tomoko-chan: Konnichiwa! Me again, and I've gotten 7, count 'em, 7 reviews!
*crickets* Oh, well. I enjoys all of my reviews, even though there are so
few of them. Remember, I love getting comments, so send them. SEND 'EM
ALL!! Just a note, I STILL don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, though I would like to.
Then I could own Jin!
C'mon! Let's go see what happened.

Chapter Three
Jin awoke, feeling blank. He was somewhat content, but not enough to not realize something was missing. He looked around him, expecting to see a dirty apartment, himself in a bed, and some strange woman sleeping soundly next to him. That was how he usually awoke in his world. But he saw none of the above.
"What the hell?" Jin scanned his surroundings. He was on a couch, in a well-decorated apartment, and seemingly alone. The strangest thing was, he could remember almost all of the night before. Now that is strange, Jin thought to himself. He noticed that he shirt was gone, but his denim jeans still clung to his body. Looking over to the wooden coffee table beside him, he saw his shirt, neatly folded. Forgetting it for the moment, he raised his nose into the air and inhaled. Someone was cooking meat, and it was very close. Standing up and meandering for a while, he found his way to the kitchen.
Nani was there, over the stove, in a long nightshirt that was six sizes too big. Her long black hair flowed down to her waist with out aid from any extension. Jin was surprised that he hadn't noticed how long it was before. Nani looked up, her eyes bright a clear.
"Oh, good morning."
"Good morning." Jin leaned against the doorway. She glanced at his bare chest, then quickly regained full attention on the skillet.
"You know, I washed your shirt. It's clean." Her face went a little red.
"Alright." Jin looked at her, puzzled, unable to catch the hint.
"You can put your shirt on, if you want."
"Um, okay. I don't really mind, but if you want me to,"
"No, no. It's all right. You don't have to if you don't want to."
Another awkward silence stretched before them, and the only sounds were the noises of them breathing and the sizzling of bacon.
"So," Jin broke the ice. "We didn't, you know."
"No. We didn't have sex."
"Uh-huh."
"Yep."
"Well, why?"
"You wouldn't let me, for a while, then I wouldn't let you. So, you know."
What? Jin stood, unable to comprehend. Why would I say no to sex? Then it hit him; right before he had left for the human world, he had talked to Touya. After explaining his master plan to him, Touya asked a simple question, which turned into a serious problem. How would he hide his elfish ears and the pearly white horn that grew out of his head? He couldn't, by regular means, so he asked Touya to put a spell on his body. His physical demon features would be hidden until he came back, but only if Jin wasn't exposed to extreme emotions or conditions. Unfortunately, that included THAT type of pleasure, so Jin reluctantly agreed. The spell did not cover his powers, or his demon berserk, but Jin doubted he would ever use those.
"Oh well," Jin said, fighting the urge to scream in disappointment. "I don't know you, and you don't know me, and, well,"
"I understand." Nani placed the bacon onto a plate and walked over to him. She hugged his waist with her other arm and buried her face into his chest. "I understand completely." Jin felt her cool breath and her soft heartbeat. He was almost afraid to hug back, in fear he might crush her small, frail body; so gently, he brought her close to him. She looked up with those gigantic eyes with the reflection of the ocean, and Jin felt his heart melt within him.
"Would you like some bacon?"
"Yes, I most certainly do."
*****
"Jin, is that you?"
"Yea."
Yusuke looked up from the movie he, Keiko, Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara, Botan, and Yukina were watching. With a piece of popcorn to his lips, he unfurled a huge grin. "So, how was it?"
"How was what?" Jin plopped down upon the couch and reached for the bucket of popcorn. Yusuke frowned.
"You didn't do her? Ow!" Keiko rammed him in the stomach.
"No, I didn't."
"Better luck next time, pal."
"Whatever. I chose not to, you know." He crunched the popcorn between his abnormally sharp teeth. "For one thing, I would have scared the hell out of her when we were finished, and for another thing," He paused "She just different, for some reason."
"Maybe you like her. Too bad you didn't get her name."
"I did get her name! And her number! We're meeting again tonight! What, do you think I would have a one night stand and just throw her out?" Jin's face went red.
"Well, yea." Yusuke answered bluntly. Jin's face returned to normal as he looked down at the ground.
"If I had met someone else, that probably would have been the case. But she's just different." Jin couldn't find any other words to describe it. It just was. That warm feeling inside of him that made him feel just like a pup again. Across town, Nani felt the exact same way.
***** Tomoko-chan: *gasp* Could it actually be cross-species love? Find out soon, in the next chapter! Don't worry, not only does it get better, but I'm going to add a twist later and maybe, MAYBE, a lemon. It depends on how many reviews I get! Ja ne!
C'mon! Let's go see what happened.
