Chapter 4: Unexpected Encounters

Kurama and Sumomo: *walking home*

Kurama: Sumomo, I know it's kinda late, but may I ask your last name?

Sumomo: Tendo..but I don't see why it matters..

Keiko, Yukina, Botan, and Shizuru: *walking toward them; sees Sumomo* Crud, it's Sumomo..

Shizuru: Don't worry, she can't hurt you while I'm here..

Sumomo: Hey, it's your friends from this afternoon..*runs up to them*

Keiko, Botan, and Yukina: *hide behind Shizuru*

Sumomo: Please..I mean you no harm..

Kurama: this time..

Sumomo: Shove it, Shuichi.. Girls, I am very sorry that I made you rush to get out earlier, but I was sorta in a bad mood..I felt that something strong was in the room

Shizuru: You have a sixth sense or somethin'?

Sumomo: Kinda like that..

Keiko: *comes out from behind Shizuru* Perfectly all right..just try to remember that you shouldn't judge people too quickly..

Shizuru: Be careful, Keiko..

Sumomo: I don't believe I know any of your names..*looks to Shizuru* and I haven't even seen you before..

Keiko: I guess giving our names wouldn't hurt..

Botan: My name's Botan! It's very nice to meet you, Sumomo!

Sumomo: It's very nice to meet you, too! *looks at Keiko* You're Keiko, aren't you?

Keiko: How did you know that?!?

Sumomo: *points to Shizuru* She said it when she told you to be careful..

Keiko: Oh..

Shizuru: I'm Shizuru..and this is Yukina *points to her*

Yukina: Hi..

Kurama: Come on, Sumomo..it's getting late..

Sumomo: Well, I have to get going..

Botan, Yukina, Keiko, and Shizuru: Bye! *walk away*

Sumomo and Kurama: See ya!

~ Back at Kurama's house; after dinner ~

Mrs. Minamino: You cook very well, Sumomo! That's probably the best dinner I've had in a long time!

Kurama: I must admit, you are a very good chef!

Mrs. Tendo: Well, I am very tired from our trip here, so I'm going to go to bed..

Sumomo: All right, goodnight, mom..

Mrs. Minamino: You look exhausted, Sumomo..flying from Hawaii to Japan must have been tiring..

Sumomo: *nods*

Kurama: //Hawaii? No wonder she looks like she's not from around here//

Sumomo: If you don't mind, I'll just go take a bath and go to bed, okay? *goes to bathroom*

~ 5 minutes later ~

Sumomo: *laying back in the bath tub* //Shuichi's spirit energy is strong..I wonder if he could really be..no, he couldn't..it's just not possible..// *sighs* //I'll go to Master Koenma tomorrow to find out//

~ Outside bathroom ~

Mrs. Minamino: Shuichi, would you please go and take Sumomo's things to her room?

Kurama: Yes, mother *takes bags to Sumomo's room* //I hate this arrangement! Why do I have to have a stupid, stubborn fiancée` anyway? The people at school are gonna be making fun of me for the rest of my life..and as Yoh-ko Kurama..I can't let her know..she'd do the same to me as she did to those other guys earlier..she can't know..and I have to be careful, especially around Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara..//

~ Back with Sumomo ~

Sumomo: I might as well get out before I turn into a giant prune..*gets out, and dries her hair with a towel, pins it back, and wraps towel around herself, walks to her room*

Kurama: *still putting Sumomo's bags in her room*

Sumomo: *walks in, unknowing of Kurama's presence, takes towel off to get dressed*

Kurama: Well, that's all of them..*turns around and sees Sumomo*

Sumomo: *pauses, feels Kurama's spirit energy, eyes widen* 0_0

Kurama: *big eyes, sweatdrop* 0_0;

Sumomo: *quickly wraps towel back around herself; points head down; closes eyes; grits teeth* Shu..i..chi..

Kurama: Uh..uh..uh-oh..

Sumomo: YOU PERVERT!!! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!! *punches Kurama in the face*

Kurama: *knocked out; swirly eyes* @_@

Sumomo: *throws him out of her room; gets dressed and lays down in her bed* Baka..
