Boy its about time I started on another chapter eh? Dark void had me stumped but I think I'm finally picking up the pace! Do enjoy.as if Yusuke and kuwa will be a couple...we'll see. They are my fav. couple but I'm not sure if this is gonna be a yaoi or not! We'll see! ^_^

"Kuwa...Kuwa wake up." Yusuke was shakeing his friend awake. A month had gone by and now it was time for Kuwabara to go see a docter.His bandages could be removed and he'd be checked over once more. Kuwabara had been doing a lot better, but he still refused to leave the house, and his hair remained ungelled. But He'd opened up a lot more. He wasn't screaming from fear at a drop of the hat, and he smiled like he used to before the incident. But he suffered. Oh, he suffered.

Kuwabara was still afraid. He muttered in his sleep his darkest fears, about being raped again. He wore baggy clothes, and covered his skin best he could. He seldom ate, and often sat starring at a blank t.v. or out the window. He'd lost alate window, and Hiei could wrap his arms around him, and still have room in his arms, not that Hiei hugged Kuwabara.

When he wasn't with Yusuke he was with Hiei or Kuruma. They'd opened up to him a lot, and Hiei tried only to get a little rise out of Kuwabara.Knowing if he got to angry with the human, he'd shake and try to go back in his shell. Kuwabara seemed very afraid of Hiei and Kuruma, and at night sometimes, he seemed very afraid of Yusuke.

"Kuwa...please wake up, we'll be late!" Yusuke said as Kuwabara tried to bury himself in the covers. Yusuke's hand brushed Kuwabara's side and the red head gave a little laugh.

"Your awake! I knew it!" Yusuke said and began to attack his friend with tickles.

"STOP!"

"Then get up!"

"Oh c'mon! Let me sleep!"

"We havea docters appointment! C'MON YOU LAZY A*S!!"

"HEE HEE STOP!! YUSUKE!!!"

THUMP!!!

The two friends toppled on the floor Yusuke landing on top of his friend. Yusuke was laughing and pulled himself up to look his friend in the eyes. He immediantly got up when he saw Kuwabara looked terrified, as if waiting for something to happen. His eyes were wide, and his body trembled. "Kuwa...God what an A*S I AM!!" Yusuke said shouting at himself. Kuwabara blinked and sat up blushing a bit. "Urameshi...its just me...I'm still scarred...I'm sorry." He sat up looking very ashamed.

Yusuke grabbed him by the shoulders, looking into his friends wide blue eyes. "Hey...no. No your not the problem. What happened to you was the problem. Its over now...Your safe...with me. I'm going to protect you!" Kuwabara blushed as Yusuke spoke to him. Very gently Kuwabara placed his head on Yusuke's shoulder, and let a few tears spill down his cheeks. Yusuke clutched the taller man to him. "Your going to be safe." Yusuke pet his friends hair, tangleing his finger in the mass of curls. "I wish...sometimes...I wish it was just you and me." Kuwabara said in a soft whisper.

Yusuke felt his cheeks grow warm and he held his friend tighter. "You...know sometimes I wish that too...we've been through a lot...You helped me face Rando and win...You've done a lot for me." Kuwabara laughed. "Right....You've done a whole lot more for me!" Kuwabara laughed. "Okay fine...we've both done a lot for each other...now I'm going to do something else for you...help you get *YOUR* sorry as* in the docters office." Yusuke gave Kuwabara a noogie, and Kuwabara got up. "Yeah...Yeah, I'll get ready."

Yusuke watched him go into the bathroom when he heard someone clear their throat. "Are we interupting anything?" Kurama had a sly smile on his face, and Hiei had an eqaully smug look on his face. Yusuke turned red, "No! Why would you be?" Yusuke said walking past them to the living room. "I saw that blush, Yusuke!"Kurama said smileing and following him. "Yes...it appears you are becomeing...attracted....to your friend." Hiei added calmly.

"NO! GUYS...guys don't do that here..." Yusuke said sputtering. "But demons do." Hiei added smirking wider.

Yusuke turned on the two demons. "So my demon half is attracted to my best friend, great!Thats just what he needs! Hes starting to be better...He could do with out my fuc*ed up emotions freaking him out!" Yusuke sat ont he couch dejectedly, a bitter frown on his face. "Yusuke...you really love the guy don't you?" "What if I do?" Kurama sat down next to him. "Then you tell him...Maybe this is just *what* he needs. To know you love him." "Why would he need that?!"

"Hey I'm-Oh! Hey guys." Kuwabara said waveing a bit awkwardly at the two demons. Yusuke got up and grabbed their coats, "Lets go buddy."Kuwabara nodded giveing a large smile and stepped in the hall, but before Yusuke could follow Hiei called, "Hey!" Yusuke looked back. "What?" "To answer your question...he needs it because otherwise he wouldn't blush so darkly when you were near." Yusuke flushed. "He loves you Yusuke...I can hear his heart speed up." "And I can smell your hormones." Kurama said smirking widely, as Yusuke blushed harder.

Yusuke looked at the two of his friends and gave a small smile. "Okay then...maybe I will?" "Will what?" Kuwabara's voice asked from behind the door. "I'll tell you later."
