Touya looked at Hiei,
strange expression on his face. He then looked at Yusuke, "He's
staying?"
Yusuke shrugged, "Well, I've gotta teach
him to play guitar too. Anyhow, he'll get the guest room."
Hiei
smirked, "That's right. I don't want to interrupt anything after
all."
Touya blushed, and though Yusuke didn't notice,
Hiei did, to his great amusement. Yusuke took the offensive regarding
the statement, and stepped up and punched Hiei in his stomach.
Hiei
bent over, clutching his gut, gasping, "God Urameshi. You've
never been that quick before, I guess Touya really means that much to
you, huh?" he said, smirking again. He stood again, fully
composed, in time for Yusuke to take another swing at him. This time,
Hiei was prepared, and dodged, striking Yusuke's chest. Yusuke barely
noticed, fuming, and kicked at Hiei, who fell to his knees. "All
right! Fine, leave me alone." Hiei said, not wanting to get in a
fight with Urameshi Yusuke. Last time he had he'd been defeated, if
only barely, and while he had grown stronger since then, so too, had
Yusuke, that much was obvious.
Yusuke continued scowling, and
Touya walked away, expression carefully blank. Yusuke walked after
him, "Did you get another shakuhachi so you could teach me?"
he asked. Hiei snorted, going to the room he'd been allotted.
Touya
nodded, "Yeah, it's with mine." He continued to the room he
shared with Yusuke. Yusuke followed and Touya pulled out the two
shackuhachis. ((LOL that looks funny! Shakuhachis!))
"Here."
Touya handed Yusuke the second. "Ok then, basics." Touya
began to show Yusuke how to play the shakuhachi.
After an hour
or two, Hiei walked into the room. "Yusuke, are you going to
teach me to play or should I leave?" He propped himself
carelessly against the doorframe, and Yusuke put down the shakuhachi
with a sigh.
"You going to come practice to Touya?"
Yusuke asked, standing and heading to the door.
Touya
followed, "Yeah, I could use it." Yusuke snickered, despite
Touya's inherent talent; he always seemed to think he needed the
practice desperately. Hiei let them lead him down to the
garage.
Touya hooked up his guitar and got another one for
Hiei set up. "Here." He said, handing it off. He took his
up and began practicing the song he'd written before.
Yusuke,
about to start teaching Hiei, stopped. "Listen to Touya,"
he said to Hiei, then to Touya, "Sing it for us. We'll show Hiei
part of what being in the band means, hold up while I get on the
drums." Yusuke sat at his drums; glad he and Touya had worked
out his part of the music before. Yusuke counted off, knocking his
drumsticks together at each count. They began, and Hiei listened,
looking increasingly interested.
The last vibrations of
Touya's guitar faded away and Yusuke smiled at Hiei. "Whadja
think?"
Hiei nodded. "Good. So what do you need me
for then?"
Yusuke said, "Well, it's nice to have
backup and stuff. And I figure you'd come up with some interesting
songs too, once you know how." Hiei nodded, and Yusuke got up,
taking his guitar up once again, to teach Hiei. Touya nodded and
began practicing on his again; the song he'd written, those Yusuke
had given him sheet music for, and a few improvised pieces he made up
as he went along.
