Chapter 3

Two guys and a girl

Two months later Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, Dom, Jenny and Erin sat around a table in he court yard after school. They all had gotten to know each other very well and spent a lot of time together. Every one now called Suichi by his nick-name, Kurama. Yusuke was still as perverted as ever and knew how far he could push Jenny until he got slapped in the face. Kuwabara just got stupider and took every moment he could to ask Jenny out. Hiei stayed the same, hardly talking, barely eating, and showing no emotion, though some times, weather he wanted to admit it or not, he enjoyed the girls company. Dom and Erin managed to stay at of trouble and keep an 'A' average in all of there classes while Jenny remained the teachers pet. Over all their life was pretty good, or so they thought.

"So any way I was thinking…" Erin began before she was rudely interrupted.

"Oh my Gosh! There he is!" Jenny screamed turning to hide her face.

"Who Jen?" Dom asked rolling her eyes towards the girl.

"Nathaniel Wanowgiski (Wan-ow-ski), biggest jerk you've ever met!" She said crossing her arms.

"Aww what'd he do?" Dom ask sympathetically.

"Kick me, punch me, try and kill me. Gosh I hate his guts." Jenny said.

"Looks like some one has a little crush." Erin teased.

"I do not!" Jenny yelled.

"Not you, you idiot! She was talking about him." Dom said leaning her head towards where he was standing.

"Don't do that! He'll think we're talking about him!" Jenny yelled slapping her.

"Like your constant screaming isn't a dead give away." Dom retorted.

"What ever. I'm late for work see you guys." Jenny said, jumped on her bike, and rode off.

"She works?" Yusuke questioned.

"If you consider working standing by a nut booth yelling 'Would you like to try a sample.' then yes. Dom said.

"She's giving out samples?" Yusuke asked eyes filling with a perverted gleam.

"Not that kind! Gosh I really hate you some times." Dom said her sisterly protectiveness taking over.

"Hello! My QUEEN!" Some one yelled from the door of the school .

"I hate him too." Dom said and began to quickly walk away form the group. "I'm gunna go, Erin can you make dinner and feed Kitsune? Great thanks bye!" She yelled as she ran away from the group of boys.

"Well I guess I better go too." Erin sighed standing up.

"I'll walk you home." Kurama said and the two walked out of the court yard together.

"Idiots." Hiei said walking past Kuwabara and Yusuke. The two sat there in silence for a few moments.

"Bored?" Kuwabara asked.

"Yup." Yusuke said beginning to pick stuff out of his teeth. Another moment of silence.

"Uh-hu." Kuwabara said. Again the two sat in silence.

"Alright I'm leaving." Yusuke said standing up and stretching.

"Oh no you don't." Said a perky voice from behind.

"S---." Yusuke whispered.

--------------------------------------

"Jean Claude how many times do I have to tell you…I don't like you." Dom said.

"You're just hiding your true feelings from me. I can see that deep down inside you adore me just as much as I adore you." Jean Claude said putting his hand over his heart.

"If that's what you see then you better get your eyes checked." Dom said and Jean Claude picked up a weed from the ground.

"Dominic, My Queen, would you do me the honor of accompanying me to dinner on Friday night?" Jean Claude asked holding the weed out to her.

"Uh let me think." Dom taking the weed. "NO!"

"Please. It would make me the happiest man alive." Jean Claude said picking up the weed she had just thrown on the ground..

"You're a man? Oh well then that changes every thing!" Dom said throwing her hands up in the air.

"So you'll go with me?" Jean Claude asked hopefully.

"Absolutely…not." Dom said and started to walk away. Jean Claude sat there, stunned, but only for a moment.

"WAIT MY QUEEN! WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I WAS REALLY A GIRL!!" Jean Claude yelled chasing after her.

--------------------------------------

"Are you enjoying school yet?" Kurama ask as the two walked side by side.

"Not really. Math sucks like crap, History's a pain in the butt, and don't even get me started on grammar." Erin said.

"Two months in and already you want out." Kurama said with a smirk.

"Two months? I could have sworn it was longer."

"Yes, it has seemed like quite a long time since you got here."

"I may hate school but I don't regret coming here."

"Hm? And why is that?"

"Well, my little sister was a HUGE pain in the a…butt, my parents were…parents, and even though I do miss my friends most of the people I knew were jerks…or really stupid."

"You miss some of your friends? Perhaps, boyfriends." Kurama said nudging her a little. Erin laughed.

"Do I look liked I'd have a boyfriend?" Erin asked.

"Yes, your smart, and funny, and kind, and…" Kurama said and Erin look down. He lifted her face so that she was looking him in the eyes. "…beautiful."

"And you're extremely corny." Erin said pushing him playfully. Kurama smiled a small laugh escaping his lips. "What about you Mr. Popular-with-the-ladies, you got a girl friend?"

"I cant say that I do. I suppose the right person hasn't come along yet."

"Well I guess we can't all be like Jen and go after the first hot thing that moves."

"She does like her share of men."

"More than I can count that's for sure." Erin said as they walked up to a large building. She stopped out front and turned to face Kurama. "Well, we're here."

"I guess I should go now. Thank you for the lovely walk." Kurama said and turned to leave.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to. Jen will probably be at work all day and Dom said some thing about coffee after school and I don't have any plans. Unless you do then it's fine you don't have to come up and you can just continue on with what you were doing and…" Erin said rather quickly then Kurama placed a finger to her lips to silence her.

"Only if I can make dinner." He said and Erin nodded softly her heart skipping a beat.

The two walked through the door into the apartment building. The lobby look a lot like that of a hotel. Couches here and there , a few TV's, magazines, and people every where, one in particular that caught Sakura's eye.

"Kenji?" Erin asked ,

--------------------------------------

Jenny sighed as she leaned up against the counter of a cart in the middle of the mall. There weren't that many people in the mall and after wearing high-heels all day her feet were killing her. 'Stupid heels.' she thought as she slipped off her shoes. Her feet touched the cold tile floor sending chills through out her body. She wiggled her toes a bit allowing them to enjoy the new found freedom before pulling her foot nearly up to her hip so that she could massage it.

"Flexible aren't we?" She heard a voice say.

She looked up into the face of the man standing in front of her and let her foot drop hitting hit hard against the ground. She bit her lips, cursing herself in her head. Noticing this the man chuckled quietly.

"Well I'm glad you find this so funny." Jenny said slipping on her two inch heels.

"I'm sorry oh Queen of pain intolerance." He said bowing slightly.

"Very funny. Now are you going to buy some thing or just stand there like an idiot?" Jenny asked slight perturb.

Even with the added height her shoes provided he still stood taller then her at 6'0". His dark brown hair was thrown into a array of messy spikes and frosted tips. His seemingly endless black eyes shown with amusement as Jenny stared into them trying to look as stern as possible. There was something so familiar about his eyes but Jenny couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Ouch. Well for your information I would like to buy some of your fattening food that you seem to have eaten a little too much of." Nate said grabbing a bit of skin on her face, as if he were her great aunt, moving his hand back and forth making her head shake violently.

"If you weren't a customer I would kick your butt right now." Jenny said yanking the money out of his hands.

"Oh no I'm so scared." Nate said sarcastically following her over to the cash register on the other side of the cart.

"You should be. I can kick pretty hard." Jenny said handing him his change.

"I'm sure. That uniform just screams that you can kick my butt." He said looking at her khaki pants and black shirt that had a large yellow smile on the front and on the back in the same yellow color said 'Nuts R Us'.

"Shut up!" Jenny said handing him his food. He smiled and then walked away. Jenny watched him until she couldn't see him any more.

"You know he's right. You are kinda fat." Some one said from behind.

"What do you want Dom?" Jenny asked wiping off the counter.

"Oh what is it a crime now to bring your little sister some coffee?" Dom asked two coffee's in hand.

"I don't know depends on what kind." Jenny said again slipping off her shoes.

"French Vanilla, extra cream and sugar." Dom said holding up a steaming cup.

"Yes, you're under arrest and I here by confiscate you're coffee." Jenny said taking the cup.

"You almost done here?" Dom asked taking a sip from her own cup.

"Will be in about five minutes." Jenny replied looking at her watch.

"Closing early today aren't we?" Dom asked helping to seal some bags that were lying on the counter.

"What's the point in staying? No one's buying any way. Figured we could catch a quick movie before going home." Jenny said while throwing a large tarp over the cart.

"Sounds good." Dom said. The two linked arms and headed towards the theater.
