A/n: Sorry guys. I can't do what you said about the POV thing. I'm kinda
new to this so I don't really get what you mean. I know what POV is but I
don't really get to do it. Sorry (lowers head and blushes crimson red).
::CHAPTER 5::
You were going down through your usual route to the school where almost everyone actually goes through. Remarkably, you woke up in a good mood today in your torn-down apartment. Yesterday was simply too good to be true. "I'm hanging out with the disgustingly most popular guy in school." You muttered to yourself. You looked at yourself and noted how your skirt isn't as short as others were. You looked at your blouse, neatly tucked under your skirt. You don't exactly look like someone who'd actually date the kind of Kurama. You sighed in resignation on how hopeless you look like. Then you remember last night, by the river, and couldn't help but smile. "They might be more beautiful or sexier or whatever but HE talks to ME, not THEM." You smiled satisfied with yourself.
"Hey, what're you humming about? And skipping?" Your best friend looked suspiciously at you, totally weirded out. He/she stood up from the wall he/she was leaning back.
You didn't realize you were singing a tune and idiotically prancing around. "I didn't realize." You blushed timidly; a smile slowly crept out of the corner of your mouth. "I just—I just remembered...you know. Last night."
"You make it sound like something big happened. For god's sake girl, you were just sitting there and him, in his wolf thing."
"He's a fox." You mumbled.
"Whatever, okay? Don't get so giddy about it. You don't know. Maybe——I mean, just don't get your hopes up so much."
You looked sideways. "What a good friend you are," You muttered sarcastically. Can't people just let you be happy for a minute? I mean this was the only day you didn't mind the creaking floors of your rugged home; or the fact that the warm water of your shower doesn't work; Or the fact that you don't have a lot of friends or a normal life and that you can't do anything about it.
"Sorry. I just—I don't know. I'm cautious for you so you won't get hurt. You've been through so...okay. Let's no think about it." Your friend gave a comforting smile.
You forced a slight smile but his/her words stuck to you. You looked away to the opposite direction to the school. "What the heck is that?" You watched as a huge cloud of dust move towards your way.
"What the hell—"Your best friend watched incredulous.
"Is that—is that Yusuke?" You narrowed your eyes to actually identify the cloud of dust.
"Heck. You're right. It IS Yusuke."
"HEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Yusuke screeched as he hid behind you. "H-help me. P-please." Yusuke panted. He held on to your shoulder as he tried to fill his lungs with air.
"What'you do now, Yusuke?" Your best friend asked crossing his/her arms.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Yusuke yelled in your friend's ear (you know, like the character gets the big sharp teeth and mean black eyes where he can practically bite the other person's head.) "Oh man. HERE SHE COMES!!!!"Yusuke sped off to the school.
"Who?" You looked towards the direction Yusuke was pointing but saw no one familiar.
"Hey guys." Keiko stood in front of you.
"Hey, Keiko. We didn't realize you were there. Were you the one Yusuke was running from?"
"Yeah. I'll get that stupid pervert." Keiko clenched her fist in front of her.
"What happened?" You asked.
FLASHBACK
Yusuke: "Keiko wait up!"
(Keiko turns around to face Yusuke running after her.)
(Yusuke trips and slides under Keiko's skirt.)
(Yusuke blinks innocently looking under Keiko.)
(Keiko finally realizes what's going on.)
Keiko: "Baka!!"
END OF FLASHBACK
"Oh, so that's what happened." You best friend said rubbing his/her chin as a wise man does.
"Get him later. We'll even help you. Walk with us to school." You offered.
"Okay." Keiko smiled.
While walking to school, you and your friend got to know Keiko a little better. Keiko proved to hold a good conversation. Unlike others, she also knew a lot about books and gets the best grades in her class. You didn't think Keiko would be like she was. As much as Keiko is a smart student, she wasn't a bookworm at all. Many guys at school really like her. Sort of like the way Shuichi, or KURAMA, is even more popular because he's not only good looking but is also smart.
"So, do you know Suzanne Robinson's The Legend?" You asked facing Keiko.
"Yes but I haven't read it yet. I just saw it at the bookstore. Do you know Jude Deveraux?"
"Yes!! She's my favorite!! Do you know the velvet books?"
"Velvet books?"
"Velvet promise, Highland velvet, Velvet song, and velvet angel," You gave in depth.
"Oh yeah. That's your favorite?"
"Yep. I fell in love with those four books and their four brothers, of course." You had a dreamy look on yourself, looking at the sky.
"I like Kat Martin." Keiko said in a suggestive way.
"Oh yeah, she's good too." You said acknowledging.
"Look at that. What an unusual sight." Your best friend said ironically.
You looked at the direction he/she nodded at and saw it. You felt anger surge onto you. You saw Shuichi Minamino, and not Kurama at all, smiling at MANY girls. Some were pretty, some tried to. Each of them trying to get a hold of him.
"Oh geez, poor Kurama." Keiko said putting a hand on he cheek and sympathizing her dear friend.
"Yeah, POOR Kurama." You winced at the hint of anger in your voice. It's his stinking politeness. Why does he have to be so damn polite? You mean, why does SHUCHI MINAMINO have to be so damn polite? You felt like screaming at all of them right now, including Kurama. You'd like to see the faces of all those flirts when you do. Only problem is you have no right to. Kurama didn't actually owe anything to you and you don't exactly have a hold on him either.
You stalked to the side, heavily thumping on the way. Your best friend following behind you, whistling a tune. You glared back at him/her and he/she smiled sweetly, insultingly for you. You'd like to smack that stupid grin on his/her face. "What?!?" you snapped at him/her.
"What? I'm not saying anything."
"Can you not say anything somewhere else?"
Your friend simply shrugged.
"Is something wrong, (your name)." Keiko said putting a hand over your shoulder. She was totally clueless. "Are you all right?"
"Nothing, Keiko. I'm all right. Really." You stole one last glance at Kurama and saw him trying very hard not to frown at all of them. She did pity him. But it wasn't enough, as she would help him. He better find a way by himself. And soon, before all those girls devour him alive. Kurama was looking around trying to find an escape. He finally saw you and a glint of delight registered in his eyes but you quickly looked away when he did. You heard an indistinct 'excuse me' from the group and from the corner of your eye, you could see Kurama slowly trudging towards your way.
"Hey." Kurama greeted.
You simply stared back at him and made a small nod. You also saw the group of girls Kurama left behind glaring daggers at you. You smirked at them faintly, just enough to be visible yet something Kurama wouldn't notice.
"Hey Kurama." Both your friend and Keiko greeted in unison.
"Hey guys." Kurama dug his hands in his pocket. "So, umm, (your name)..."
"What?" You asked trying to sound clueless.
"Hey GUYS!!!" Kuwabara yelled from afar.
"Hey Kuwabara." You all greeted—unenthusiastically compared to Kuwabara's energy—when he reached all of you.
Suddenly the bell rang. All the girls from a while ago quickly positioned themselves a little behind Kurama. Just enough so that he'd turn around to see them, all probably hoping he'd take them to class even though Kurama had done it only twice, once with you, and also to Keiko. That is, before Yusuke totally erupted into the green-eyed dragon.
A few meters away, Yusuke stood fidgeting. "Ne, Keiko..." He mumbled like a young boy who broke his mother's favorite vase.
"Okay, Yusuke. Promise me you won't do that again." Keiko approached him and placed a hand on his forearm.
Yusuke nodded vigorously.
"Okay."
Yusuke almost licked Keiko. He was acting like a small puppy. If he had a tail, you don't doubt he'd be wagging it energetically. Keiko patted his head and walked with him inside he school. Somehow, your friend and Kuwabara had managed to leave without you noticing so you and Kurama were unintentionally left alone.
"So...umm..." You trailed off. You'd expect after you had seen each other's secrets you could have at least been at home with each other already!!! You didn't think you'd be closer or had more fun before you got to know each other. "I gotta go." You run and walked, run and walked towards the school entrance.
"Wait." Kurama called after you. You turned around to see him still standing where you left him. "You two eat with us again at lunch." Kurama smiled sweetly referring to your best friend.
You simply nodded and then quickly climbed up the stairs of the school entrance. When you got inside the building, you smiled suddenly feeling giddy again.
The deafening school bell rang through the whole school signaling lunch break.
"I hate Chemistry!!!" Your friend looked utterly haggard. He/she looked like someone who didn't get a sleep because of a noisy neighbor.
"Yeah, who doesn't?" You said patting his/her head.
"YOU don't exactly do." Your best friend glared distrustfully at you.
"You can't blame ME. Did they blame Einstein because of his great mind?"
"Yeah right. Like YOU have THAT kind of mind? I don't think so."
You simply smirked confidently at him/her. Suddenly you saw Keiko waving at you. You noticed Kurama, who took a chair facing the other side, turn around to look at you and your friend. He didn't actually smile, he didn't frown either. He just looked calmly at you. It took quite an effort to make your way towards their table. The tables going there were of the other popular kids so they were quite a mess. Their tables weren't where they were supposed to be and their chairs were pushed and scattered everywhere. A few dark glances were exchanged between some before they send disgusted fleeting looks your way. When you neared the table, you still had a hard time with a chair blocking your way. "Excuse me." You tried to shout over the noise. "Excuse me." You tried once again but to no avail.
Finally, Kurama gave in. "Excuse me." Kurama said barely audible over the clatter and noise as he tapped the man slightly. The man quickly stood up with a horrified look on his face.
"Sorry, man. I didn't know she was a friend of yours." The man apologized sincerely. "Sorry." He turned to you.
You and Kurama just nodded and smiled at the frightened teenager. "Just let her pass." Kurama said trying hard not to sound impatient or irritated. He really wasn't anyway.
"Yeah, yeah. Sure." He pulled his chair to let you and your friend pass. Your friend gave a teasing salute to the man as he/she passed but the man looked like he didn't know what to do. He simply saluted back nervously.
"You don't think that was too harsh right?" You whispered to Kurama as you took a seat beside him. Your friend jumped over the table and took a seat across from you.
"Nah. If I didn't stand up and took the effort, he would have never listened. We were actually too nice. Yusuke would have been ashamed of us. He would have yelled at the man and bit his head off." Kurama said with a small laugh.
"Where is the devil?" You looked around the table and noticed only Botan, Keiko, and Kurama were there.
"They don't eat lunch here. He and Kuwabara just fight the fight until- blood-comes- out-from-both-of-them outside. We go outside there after we eat. You're gonna come right?"
"We actually eat outside. I think Yusuke crashed once or twice over our sort of table."
Kurama chuckled. "He's like that." Suddenly, a group of preppies appeared behind Kurama.
"Hey there, Kurama." The pretty girl who looks like the leader of the group raised her eyebrow at you.
You looked at your friend and imitated the girl and raised your eyebrow at your friend meaning 'what the hell is that? Hey Kurama my butt.' You mouthed soundlessly at him/her. Your friend simply smiled at the girl, amused at her nauseatingly too aggressive attitude.
"Hey (whoever you guys hate)." Kurama sighed, a sweat of exasperation formed at his temples. "What are you doing here?" There was a hint of frustration at his voice.
You almost laughed out loud.
"I just happened to pass by and I saw what an UNUSUAL sight." The girl placed one hand over the table and leaned over in front of you. "What is this...freak doing here AGAIN? Is she like trying to be like us? What a social climber and a wanna-be." The girl exchanged a few high fives with her social group. "Didn't you pollute this place enough when you came here once? Now you still persist." The girl turned back her attention to you. She could have been really, really beautiful if she didn't frown much or had a hellish attitude.
Kurama's eyes turned to daggers. "You're right. She IS a wanna-be but she's not trying to be like YOU, (your enemy), coz I invited her. Not like the way with you. Maybe she 'wanna-be' like me? " Kurama smiled courteously at the girl.
The girl looked horrified as if her mother had just slapped her. She leaned backward to her friends. She backed away slowly before rushing away from all of you.
"Kurama? What did you do?" Keiko, who was in a heated discussion with Botan during the incident, asked looking ponderingly at the young girl.
"Nothing! I didn't do anything. I just answered her question then she finally got her answer." Kurama shrugged.
You and your best friend simply raised your eyebrows. You tried to stifle your laughter and so did your best friend. Kurama simply smiled as if nothing had happened while you and you and your friend couldn't take it any longer and had absolutely laughed you hearts out. Botan and Keiko looked back and forth at you and your laughing friend then at blank-faced Kurama.
"You're very weird." Botan shook his head.
You looked at Kurama and passed a thank-you message to him. He simply winked at you. And you felt like you could have gone to heaven.
Later on, you and the others had gone out to Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Hey guys." Yusuke waved while wrestled under Kuwabara.
"Oh my God Yusuke!" Keiko held her chest. Keiko ran to the two and started cautioning them. Somehow, the two decided to stop after you guys came and after Keiko's urges so a little later, you all sat by the stairs.
"Are we going to my house again tonight?" Yusuke asked.
"Why are you insisting on your house, Yusuke? Haven't I told you many times that your so-called house—which for me is a circus tent—is dangerous for OUR health?!it's like cigarette smoking! Your house could kill, you know." Kuwabara shrieked mockingly.
"Why you—" Yusuke started but Keiko broke them off.
"Sure." Your best friend agreed to Yusuke's invitation..
"Sorry guys, I have something to do tonight." You declined.
They all became quiet thinking it was one of those killing missions.
"It's not what you think. I talked to the school counselor today and he told me that I need to pull my grades up in Home Economics so I need to make a new project. Sort of for extra grade." You excused.
"I didn't think you do those extra grades. I always thought you were too smart for that." Kuwabara spoke ponderingly.
"Thanks for the compliment. But I guess, I just don't know how to cook or sew." You shrugged, raising your shoulders.
"I'll help you there. I sort of know how to cook." Kurama offered.
"Yeah! Kurama's the best in everything!" Kuwabara cheered idiotically. "Except of course in fighting. His skills are not much up to mine. Did you know that we had an enemy back then that wanted MY powers? Not THEIRS, mine." Kuwabara said proudly.
"Okay." You said unsure at Kuwabara's boast. "Sure, Kurama. I'd like that." You agreed to Kurama's suggest.
"Okay, so you two are gonna be at your house..." Yusuke pointed at you. "...and were all gonna be at my house, all right? You just follow if you finish early." Yusuke concluded.
Then, it registered in your head. He's going to my house! MY house! MY rugged torn down apartment! I can't believe what I just did. How can I be so stupid? It'll be so embarrassing! How can I let Kurama see my dirty ugly old so-called home? Why is it that my senses are getting dull when Kurama's around?! There is something terribly wrong here! You sighed mournfully. You let him get to know you, might as well let him see everything. "Yeah. Tonight, he'll be at my house. We'll try to cook or sew something. Whatever." You muttered exasperatedly.
A/n: okay. This is the fifth. I'm sorry it took so long. I had to do some things for the holy week. Hope you enjoyed it. The next's on the way to be dine.

Then you remember last night, by the river, and couldn't help but smile. "They might be more beautiful or sexier or whatever but HE talks to ME, not THEM." You smiled satisfied with yourself.
"Hey, what're you humming about? And skipping?" Your best friend looked suspiciously at you, totally weirded out. He/she stood up from the wall he/she was leaning back.
You didn't realize you were singing a tune and idiotically prancing around. "I didn't realize." You blushed timidly; a smile slowly crept out of the corner of your mouth. "I just—I just remembered...you know. Last night."
"You make it sound like something big happened. For god's sake girl, you were just sitting there and him, in his wolf thing."
"He's a fox." You mumbled.
"Whatever, okay? Don't get so giddy about it. You don't know. Maybe——I mean, just don't get your hopes up so much."
You looked sideways. "What a good friend you are," You muttered sarcastically. Can't people just let you be happy for a minute? I mean this was the only day you didn't mind the creaking floors of your rugged home; or the fact that the warm water of your shower doesn't work; Or the fact that you don't have a lot of friends or a normal life and that you can't do anything about it.

"Velvet books?"
"Velvet promise, Highland velvet, Velvet song, and velvet angel," You gave in depth.
"Oh yeah. That's your favorite?"

"YOU don't exactly do." Your best friend glared distrustfully at you.
"You can't blame ME. Did they blame Einstein because of his great mind?"
"Yeah right. Like YOU have THAT kind of mind? I don't think so."

You almost laughed out loud.
"I just happened to pass by and I saw what an UNUSUAL sight." The girl placed one hand over the table and leaned over in front of you. "What is this...freak doing here AGAIN? Is she like trying to be like us? What a social climber and a wanna-be." The girl exchanged a few high fives with her social group. "Didn't you pollute this place enough when you came here once? Now you still persist." The girl turned back her attention to you. She could have been really, really beautiful if she didn't frown much or had a hellish attitude.

"Why are you insisting on your house, Yusuke? Haven't I told you many times that your so-called house—which for me is a circus tent—is dangerous for OUR health?!it's like cigarette smoking! Your house could kill, you know." Kuwabara shrieked mockingly.
"Why you—" Yusuke started but Keiko broke them off.
"Sure." Your best friend agreed to Yusuke's invitation..
"Sorry guys, I have something to do tonight." You declined.
They all became quiet thinking it was one of those killing missions.
"It's not what you think. I talked to the school counselor today and he told me that I need to pull my grades up in Home Economics so I need to make a new project. Sort of for extra grade." You excused.
"I didn't think you do those extra grades. I always thought you were too smart for that." Kuwabara spoke ponderingly.
"Thanks for the compliment. But I guess, I just don't know how to cook or sew." You shrugged, raising your shoulders.
"I'll help you there. I sort of know how to cook." Kurama offered.
"Yeah! Kurama's the best in everything!" Kuwabara cheered idiotically. "Except of course in fighting. His skills are not much up to mine. Did you know that we had an enemy back then that wanted MY powers? Not THEIRS, mine." Kuwabara said proudly.
"Okay." You said unsure at Kuwabara's boast. "Sure, Kurama. I'd like that." You agreed to Kurama's suggest.
"Okay, so you two are gonna be at your house..." Yusuke pointed at you. "...and were all gonna be at my house, all right? You just follow if you finish early." Yusuke concluded.
Then, it registered in your head. He's going to my house! MY house! MY rugged torn down apartment! I can't believe what I just did. How can I be so stupid? It'll be so embarrassing! How can I let Kurama see my dirty ugly old so-called home? Why is it that my senses are getting dull when Kurama's around?! There is something terribly wrong here! You sighed mournfully. You let him get to know you, might as well let him see everything. "Yeah. Tonight, he'll be at my house. We'll try to cook or sew something. Whatever." You muttered exasperatedly.
A/n: okay. This is the fifth. I'm sorry it took so long. I had to do some things for the holy week. Hope you enjoyed it. The next's on the way to be dine.
