Raindrops: Ok. This is different than the other chapters of "Untitled: Yoko"
Dianna: How so?
Raindrops: We're going back. Way back. (Sees dinosaurs) Not that far!
Kurama: How far?
Raindrops: Before the kisses, before the hugs.
Dianna: .....
Raindrops: IDIOT! Before Kurama met Dianna!
Dianna: Oh.
Raindrops: This story is how Kurama and Dianna met. No umm how would one say it... fluff? Is that the right word? Anyway, no kisses, no hugs and no Yoko. Well, I wouldn't say "no kisses".
Kurama: Then, what would you say?
Raindrops: I dont know. Let's just say it's different then the previous chapters. You do learn Dianna's last name though! I hope it's not too bad!
Enjoy.
===="Carry on Dancing" Part 1====
Background: Big tests at all the schools have just ended and the students are off the hook. Aka, beginning of summer and the Urameshi Team hasn't had a case for weeks.
Here's the scoop. Kurama, keeps himself cooped up in his room since the big test, and studying, is over he doesn't know what to do. Kuwabara sits all day playing video games and occasionally goes out to eat lunch with Yusuke and Keiko, and if they're lucky, drag Kurama and Hiei along. Yusuke, having the time of his life, for him: hot babes are hitting the streets, but Keiko is keeping him in line. Hiei, seen rarely, usually in the trees of the park, but spends most of his time at Genkai's temple, training, seeing Yukina and doing Hiei stuff.
Here's the second deal. Yusuke hears of a nightclub that's open every night and allows anyone in, as long as they can get out before the cops show. Yusuke thinks: "What? Girls in tight skirts, pants, lots o' skin? I'm there!" Soooooo, he checks it out. Needless to say, he likes it. Now that he added spice to his summer, he wants to add some to his friends...
---------
"Come on Kurama, just for one night. Just come check it out. It'll be fun!" -Yusuke pleaded.
"A night party is not my idea of fun, Yusuke."-Kurama stated taking a sip of his soda.
"What about you Kuwabara, you there?"-Yusuke tried, chomping on a piece of pepperoni pizza.
"Of course, the ladies will be all over me!"-Kuwabara (strikes pose).
"Pft, they will be running from your face. I think they'd rather see a grumpy Hiei!"-Yusuke tormented.
"Hn."-Hiei (glares).
"That was a bad one, sorry Hiei."-Yusuke realizing his mistake and how close Hiei's katana was to his hand.
"You'd better be."-Hiei going back to eating his pizza
"Whatever."-Yusuke, relieved to be off the hook. He really didn't want to fight Hiei; it was the summer for crying out loud! He Looked at Kurama and Hiei. "Guys, come on, I know how bored you've been."
"I don't need a night party to keep me entertained."-Kurama said stubbornly while cutting himself a slice of pizza.
"Then how about some girls from the night party?"-Yusuke sporting an evil grin, cheese dripping from his face, remembering the night before.
"Yusuke, does Keiko know you are doing this?"-Kuwabara questioningly.
"Shhh. She doesn't need to know!"-Yusuke, putting finger to lips and glancing around.
"Depends on how late it goes. I don't want to leave 'kaasan home alone after 11..."-Kurama reluctantly.
"Relax, I just want you guys to put some fun in your life. Be free. Spread your wings..."-Yusuke holding his pizza like a 'to be or not to be' scene from Hamlet [Don't own. Duh! Do I seem like Shakespeare to you?!... Didn't think so. Carry on]
"Who are you and what have you done with Yusuke?"-Hiei glancing across the table at the detective.
That Night...
'I can't believe I'm letting Yusuke and Kuwabara drag me into this...definitely not my idea of fun.'-Kurama thinks rolling his emerald eyes. 'Might as well try to make the best of this. I have been bored, but they don't need to hear that.'
"Are you sure you'll be alright 'kaasan?"-Kurama
"Of course Suuichi! I can take care of myself, now you go have some fun with your little friends." -Minamino-san
"I'll be back before 11." He kisses his mother on the cheek and walks out the door.
Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei are sitting in Yusuke's new car, well, borrowed from Shizuru, but just for that night. [How the hell did they get the car from Shizuru? Dunno. Just go with it.]
"Have fun boys!" -Minamino-san said as Yusuke drove away.
"Detective, just where is this place?"-Hiei asked as they crossed into territory he wasn't familiar with.
"Not that far, just hidden so to say."-Yusuke said swerving to avoid a street sign.
"Hidden?"-Kurama, questioned making sure his seat belt was securely fastened. 'Oh great, Yusuke's going to get us lost. Or killed, whichever comes first.'
"Yah, it's in an old warehouse, no one uses it anymore. Some fancy-pants fixed it up for us people, complete with bars for older dudes with licenses [do you think that's gonna stop Yusuke?], disco balls, strobe lights and blaring music."
"Sounds like so much fun."-Kurama sarcastically sitting tiredly in the back seat.
"I know, doesn't it?"-Yusuke, not noticing the sarcasm, swerving to avoid another car.
They all arrived safely, no thanks to Yusuke's maniacal driving. They all stepped out of the car and went to the door.
Yusuke wore a tight white t-shirt and dark blue pants, and his hair was in its usually slicked back position.
Kuwabaka [why do I bother?] wore a dark blue button up shirt, which he had unbuttoned half way. [Gack! my eyes! Ugg, get the barf bags! Hope you Kuwabara fans are happy! If there are any...] and white pants [ok who picked out HIS outfit?! oh yea, me. Heh, heh, he acts like one, he might as well advertise that he's an idiot].
Hiei wore his regular black pants, white scarf and black cape thingy. [Way to dress up Hiei. What a nice way to impress the ladies. -.-; {Gets attacked by Hiei fans} AH! Not that he doesn't look very nice in that outfit... uh... back to the story!]
Kurama wore a white button up shirt [1/4 unbuttoned half way. WHOOTWHOOT. Can't you just see it... sorry, back to the story.]? And leather [!!!] black pants.
Yusuke tossed them each a breath mint. "The girls in here... rrrr... hot!"
'What have I gotten myself into?'-Kurama thinks as Yusuke opens the door.
---Change of scene---and point of view---
The music was perfect, the lights were good and as the pervert said, the girls were hot, as were the boys. But not the one our main character was dancing with.
Dianna looked around as she danced with the crowd. This guy she was dancing with was awful, he was so off beat and looked, well, not pretty. He was more interested in looking down her shirt than having good time.
'Got to get away from this guy, this place is full of perverts.' She danced backward and disappeared into the crowd. And to her luck, oh so conveniently stepped into a Dance Circle, right into the center.
'Great... oh well, I wanted a good time.' The circle chanted "dance dance dance" so she did. Following the rhythm she moved her body. She put her hands through her long brown hair and into the air, as she slid across the floor.
She glanced around the circle for means of escape, she didn't find that, but did find something interesting. She saw four new boys as they made their way to the dance floor. Well three were new and the one with the slicked hair she danced with last night.
'Jerk, tried to make a move on me last night. Now he brought his friends, well--hey, that one, the one with the red hair, he looks familiar... Ugg, who's the carrot top? Can you say plastic surgery much needed?… Ha, the little dude is about the size of Hana-chan. Well they're gonna suffer for what their friend, Mister Slick did.'
She waited until they reached her circle and danced her most... well... dirty. [Can't describe it, sorry, I'm racking my brains just to make up her dance movements] Well she knew she had their attention from the jaw dropping of Slick, the drooling of Carrot top, and the wide eyes of Red-head. The little one, he disappeared, oh well.
Starting her revenge she pulled Mister Red-head into the circle.
---Change point of view---
'Pounding music and blinding lights, how fun. It's so fast paced, I can't even stand still without getting my foot stepped on, or grabbed. Twice already some random girl came up to me begging for a dance. And one guy, thinking I was a girl. Sigh. This is pointless.'-Kurama thought.
Yusuke dragged his team into the center floor. He looked excited as a girl got pushed into the Dance Circle.
"I danced with her last night," He pointed out to Kuwabara and Kurama, for Hiei had disappeared. Kurama looked at the girl who was pushed into the circle. His eyes widened. She wore tight black spaghetti strap shirt and gloves that covered her arms from fingers to elbow. Her pants were black and tight, showing off her curves and she didn't wear shoes, just black socks, quite different from everyone else. But it did help her as she slid across the floor. Her hair was elbow length and medium brown, but had a blue strip running down the left side of her face. It wasn't electric or dark but just blue, and as she turned around, Kurama saw it was the same color as her eyes.
But that wasn't the only thing he saw. He also saw a flash of evil, but couldn't think on it because she grabbed him by the wrists and pulled him into the circle.
'What the heck is she thinking? I have no idea how to dance like this! I don't even know what I am doing here!'
She must have realized this because she tried to help him, sort o'. She reached out and grabbed his arm and circled him. As she came around his back she whispered in his ear.
"Don't panic. Listen to the music and find it's rhythm and beat, then take a deep breath and dance."
He was startled by this advice, but followed it. And it helped. He didn't know he could dance, well not like this.
---Change point of view---
'This guy doesn't know how to dance! Why the heck did he come here?! Hn, maybe Mister Slick dragged him along. Damn, guilt is one thing I hate living with.'
She whispered some directions in his ear and he seemed to lighten up. A lot. She could hear some girls fainting as he started to dance, she was feeling weak in the knees herself.
'At least finish the song, dumbass!' She yelled at herself.
You know those 'magical times' in movies when the people dance the same? Well it went something like that. Kurama read her moves and predicted where she would go next and kept up with her.
'This isn't as bad as I thought. Maybe it's not as pointless as it seems. Well, this is my workout for the day.'-Kurama thought as he danced beside her.
The song came to an end and the entire Dance Circle clapped. No one bothered to push them out during the song, the performance was too good.
Kurama looked around and everyone was whistling and smiling and girls picked themselves off the floor. Yusuke and Kuwabara were gone; they must have found someone to dance with. He looked at his dance partner and found her bowing in front of him.
"You've treated me to a wonderful dance... May I treat you to some refreshment?" she said catching her breath.
"Uh, sure." Kurama himself was breathless and needed to sit down.
She led him up the stairs to the refreshment stands. The warehouse was on two floors. The top was refreshments, snacks and games (like a pool table, video games and card tables). It had a balcony that overlooked the bottom floor, the dance floor. The girl led him to a long bar where people sat on stools next to it. She sat on a chair and motioned for him to sit down too.
"Kuri-san! Moshi-moshi Kuri-san!" She yelled into the bar for someone. A man in his mid 30's walked around the corner cleaning a mug with a dishcloth. He had short black-graying hair a round face and plump body. He seemed fit for his job, a bar tender.
"Konbanwa Tsukihana-chan! [Pronounced: suu-kee-ha-nuh] What can I get you? Well, hello, who's this fine-looking young gentleman?"
"Haha, later Kuri-san, two waters. Big glasses." She measured with her hands a large sized glass, Kuri turned away to get their drinks and the girl faced Kurama.
"Sorry about dragging you into the Dance Circle. You seem familiar, what's your name? I'm Tsukihana Dianna." Kuri served their drinks; Kurama nodded in thanks and took a sip before speaking.
"I'm Minamino Suuichi, pleased to meet you Tsukihana-san."
Dianna nearly spit out her drink. "You're Minamino-kun? No wonder I thought I've seen you before! You're the guy the girls are chasing around school. The long red hair should've tipped me off."
[What the hell, what high school does he go to? Yes, yes, I know that in the show they go to different schools, but that's junior high, dimwits. Oh well, since I don't know, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko and Kurama all go to Seijyu High.]
"You go to Seijyu High too?" He asked sipping his drink. 'No wonder she seemed familiar. Now that she says her name, I remember her being in my World History class. It's unique, a Japanese surname and an English given name.'
"Yea. Don't worry; I'm not one of those people who chased you around. I didn't expect you would know me considering you were trying to run away from the screaming girls between classes. I guess you didn't get any rest last year."
"No, I didn't really." He said. He was relieved that she wasn't one of those girls, in fact he was excited. 'Some one isn't chasing me around just cause I look... well, whatever they say. She's just looking for a good time. Maybe this Night Party wasn't such a bad idea after all.'
"Well now that it's summer you can--" A song came on and Dianna jumped up excitedly. "Oh! I love this song!" She bowed in front of him again.
"You were a wonderful companion in our last dance. Would you be my dance partner again, Minamino-kun?"
"Gladly."
Dianna flipped Kuri a coin and led Kurama back to the Dance Floor. They danced all the songs together and Kurama was having a good time. He didn't even notice that it was getting late. Ten-fifty rolled around and he didn't realize it until Hiei appeared at his shoulder.
"It's time to go, fox." Hiei stood slightly behind Kurama as to not be seen by Dianna.
"What time is it?" Kurama whispered for only Hiei to hear.
"Ten-fifty. I'll get the Detective and the oaf. Meet us at the front door." And he disappeared.
Kurama sighed it was just like Hiei to ruin his fun. He looked for the direction of the front door and couldn't find it. He leaned towards Dianna.
"Tsukihana-san, I have to go now, could you direct me to the front door?"
Dianna's eyes dimmed at this but smiled and nodded, as she grabbed his wrist, not as hard as before, and led him off the Dance Floor. She brought him straight to the front door where Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabaka [ah, Kuwabara, its just that the 'k' and the 'r' are so close to each other on the keyboard! ... or not... never mind.] were waiting.
"Ok, let's go guys." They walked out the door but Dianna didn't realize she was still holding Kurama's wrist.
"Uh, Tsukihana-san..." Kurama started.
"Oh, sorry Minamino-kun." She let go of him. "You can call me Dianna-chan if you want."
"Alright Dianna-chan, you can call me Suuichi." He smiled and Dianna felt weak in the knees again.
"Thanks Suuichi-kun, for tonight." She said awkwardly. "I didn't know you could dance."
"Neither did I." They laughed and she stepped closer to him. She put her mouth next to his ear and whispered.
"I'll be here tomorrow night too." She kissed him lightly on the cheek and ran back inside the building.
Kurama stood there speechless for a second until his friends called him from the car. He went back the next night, just to see if she was there.
And she was. And the next night. And the next.
====End====
Raindrops: I hope it wasn't that bad. I thought of it as I watched an old Talent Show tape from my old school. To tell the truth I didn't know how I was going to make Kurama meet Dianna. Then I thought: A Night Party... no drugs, alcohol, or... other stuff. Just a clean dance party.
Dianna: I hated it.
Raindrops: T.T but it was all about you and Kurama!!
Dianna: I didn't get any kisses! Well, Kurama got one from me, but I didn't get any!!
Raindrops: Oh shut up. You'll get your kisses.
Kurama: I think it was good, considering it was a different style of writing so to say. It wasn't like the other "Untitled" chapters and wasn't like "The Bishie Party". I think you did a good job.
Raindrops: And I remembered a plot this time. Oh, and you know how I said "Carry On Dancing: Part 1" this was the first part. Duh. If you want me to write how Dianna met Kurama [the Kurama, not Suuichi] and Yoko, just say so in the review.
Dianna: Please review.
Dianna: How so?
Raindrops: We're going back. Way back. (Sees dinosaurs) Not that far!
Kurama: How far?
Raindrops: Before the kisses, before the hugs.
Dianna: .....
Raindrops: IDIOT! Before Kurama met Dianna!
Dianna: Oh.
Raindrops: This story is how Kurama and Dianna met. No umm how would one say it... fluff? Is that the right word? Anyway, no kisses, no hugs and no Yoko. Well, I wouldn't say "no kisses".
Kurama: Then, what would you say?
Raindrops: I dont know. Let's just say it's different then the previous chapters. You do learn Dianna's last name though! I hope it's not too bad!
Enjoy.

"Kuri-san! Moshi-moshi Kuri-san!" She yelled into the bar for someone. A man in his mid 30's walked around the corner cleaning a mug with a dishcloth. He had short black-graying hair a round face and plump body. He seemed fit for his job, a bar tender.
"Konbanwa Tsukihana-chan! [Pronounced: suu-kee-ha-nuh] What can I get you? Well, hello, who's this fine-looking young gentleman?"
"Haha, later Kuri-san, two waters. Big glasses." She measured with her hands a large sized glass, Kuri turned away to get their drinks and the girl faced Kurama.

"You go to Seijyu High too?" He asked sipping his drink. 'No wonder she seemed familiar. Now that she says her name, I remember her being in my World History class. It's unique, a Japanese surname and an English given name.'
"Yea. Don't worry; I'm not one of those people who chased you around. I didn't expect you would know me considering you were trying to run away from the screaming girls between classes. I guess you didn't get any rest last year."
"No, I didn't really." He said. He was relieved that she wasn't one of those girls, in fact he was excited. 'Some one isn't chasing me around just cause I look... well, whatever they say. She's just looking for a good time. Maybe this Night Party wasn't such a bad idea after all.'

Dianna flipped Kuri a coin and led Kurama back to the Dance Floor. They danced all the songs together and Kurama was having a good time. He didn't even notice that it was getting late. Ten-fifty rolled around and he didn't realize it until Hiei appeared at his shoulder.
"It's time to go, fox." Hiei stood slightly behind Kurama as to not be seen by Dianna.
"What time is it?" Kurama whispered for only Hiei to hear.
"Ten-fifty. I'll get the Detective and the oaf. Meet us at the front door." And he disappeared.
Kurama sighed it was just like Hiei to ruin his fun. He looked for the direction of the front door and couldn't find it. He leaned towards Dianna.
"Tsukihana-san, I have to go now, could you direct me to the front door?"
Dianna's eyes dimmed at this but smiled and nodded, as she grabbed his wrist, not as hard as before, and led him off the Dance Floor. She brought him straight to the front door where Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabaka [ah, Kuwabara, its just that the 'k' and the 'r' are so close to each other on the keyboard! ... or not... never mind.] were waiting.
"Ok, let's go guys." They walked out the door but Dianna didn't realize she was still holding Kurama's wrist.
"Uh, Tsukihana-san..." Kurama started.
"Oh, sorry Minamino-kun." She let go of him. "You can call me Dianna-chan if you want."
"Alright Dianna-chan, you can call me Suuichi." He smiled and Dianna felt weak in the knees again.
"Thanks Suuichi-kun, for tonight." She said awkwardly. "I didn't know you could dance."
"Neither did I." They laughed and she stepped closer to him. She put her mouth next to his ear and whispered.
"I'll be here tomorrow night too." She kissed him lightly on the cheek and ran back inside the building.
Kurama stood there speechless for a second until his friends called him from the car. He went back the next night, just to see if she was there.
And she was. And the next night. And the next.
====End====
Raindrops: I hope it wasn't that bad. I thought of it as I watched an old Talent Show tape from my old school. To tell the truth I didn't know how I was going to make Kurama meet Dianna. Then I thought: A Night Party... no drugs, alcohol, or... other stuff. Just a clean dance party.
Dianna: I hated it.
Raindrops: T.T but it was all about you and Kurama!!
Dianna: I didn't get any kisses! Well, Kurama got one from me, but I didn't get any!!
Raindrops: Oh shut up. You'll get your kisses.
Kurama: I think it was good, considering it was a different style of writing so to say. It wasn't like the other "Untitled" chapters and wasn't like "The Bishie Party". I think you did a good job.
Raindrops: And I remembered a plot this time. Oh, and you know how I said "Carry On Dancing: Part 1" this was the first part. Duh. If you want me to write how Dianna met Kurama [the Kurama, not Suuichi] and Yoko, just say so in the review.
Dianna: Please review.
