"Touya, come on, let's go," Hiei called, as he glanced out the tour bus to see Touya saying his final farewells.
Touya nodded and joined Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama and Yusuke. "Right," he said simply.
"You ready, Touya?" Yusuke asked, remembering how Touya had only recently resolved his latest nightmare.
Touya nodded. "Yeah. Let's go." The bus took off.
Yusuke pulled Touya into his lap, holding him quietly. "We're off again." He whispered.
Hiei glanced at Touya and Yusuke and smiled softly, as he turned his attention back to Kurama, who beckoned him over. "I'm glad you're coming this time, Kurama."
Kurama smiled softly. "And I'm glad you invited me." Kurama tugged Hiei into his lap, and Hiei complied as shyly as Touya used to at Yusuke's bidding.
Kuwabara shook his head and muttered to himself, "I wish Yukina would have come when I asked."
Hiei snickered. He was glad his sister had enough taste to turn the big oaf down.
And so, Crystal Tears and Co.'s second tour, Maiden's Tears (with Broken Maiden opening for Crystal Tears), started shockingly quiet and benign. Then again, Yusuke had not yet unveiled his plans. He wouldn't do so until later that night…
"You guys. I got an idea. And it'll be really fun. And really funny. And I talked to the guys in Broken Maiden, and they agreed. So. We're all going to go on stage… CROSS-DRESSED!" Kuwabara covered the table in the drink he'd just been chugging, and Hiei and Touya choked on their food, while Kurama politely giggled.
"NO WAY!" Kuwabara yelled, and Hiei shrugged. He had actually found Yukina's kimono surprisingly comfortable when they'd played truth or dare so long ago, though he'd never admit to that. Touya just looked at Yusuke. With one of 'those looks'.
Yusuke laughed. "Dudes, it's too late! I already worked it out with Broken Maiden, and the tour coordinators. That's how it's all being publicized and stuff. We can't let down our fans!" Hiei and Touya sighed.
"I'll do it if you do, Yusuke." Touya said.
Yusuke nodded. "Of course!"
Hiei whispered to Kurama, who blushed and nodded. "Ok, I'll do it too."
Kuwabara shook his head. "No way, you sick fucks!"
Yusuke grinned. "That actually may be a good thing. I don't think anyone wants to see Kuwabara, let alone in a dress!"
Kuwabara turned purple. "SCREW YOU, YUSUKE!"
