*yusuke's pov*
I sat on my bed staring out the window, looking at the horizon. Worry had overcome my stomach and I felt bored as hell. Why hadn't Koenma contacted us about this new mission yet? I mean Botan told us very little about it and she said that Koenma would give us the details. I kept expecting the little baby to pop in my room out of no where and give me his usual greeting "yo." Sighing, I picked up the phone out of sheer boredom and called Kuwabara.
"Hello?" Shizuru's low and lazy voice answered from the other end of the line.
"Hey it's Yusuke. Is Kuwabara there?" I asked casually.
"Yeah, let me get him." I could hear the older sister yelling her brothers name, instead of going and finding him.
"Hello? Yusuke is that really you because you never call me..." Kuwabara had picked up the phone and said lamely.
Putting on an intensely high voice I giggled. "No you silly, it's me Yukina!"
"Oh hey baby what's up? Heh heh." I choked back laughter as Kuwabara tried to sound all macho for whom he thought was his girlfriend.
"Nothing much except dreaming of you lover boy!" By now I had to hide my face in my pillow, I was laughing so hard.
"Heh well who could blame you there? I am pretty desirable!" Who could believe this guy? Man Kuwabara really thought pretty highly of himself.
"God Kuwa you really need caller ID!" I screamed in laughter, talking now in my own voice.
"Urameshi?! God damnit Yusuke that was low! Messin' with a guy's feelin's like that!" The carrot top exploded.
Still laughing like a hyena I tried to calm myself with deep breaths. "No, get over it Kuwa. I was just joking. I was gunna ask if you want to head over to the arcade or something. I'm bored stiff. You wanna come?"
There was a silence for a minute while he thought about it. "No, I got somewhere else to go. Sorry Urameshi."
"Wait, where are you going?" That made me think...what does Kuwabara do when he's not around the reikai tentai?
"Actually, I was thinking over to Kurama's house to make sure he was ok. You saw how scared and sad he looked the other day. I thought maybe I could cheer him up or something."
His comment made me smile. Of course with his big heart, Kuwabara would want to see how the Kitsune was. "Do you think Hiei'll be there? He didn't seem too happy to see us the other day." In fact he seemed overprotective to me but I didn't mention that to my friend.
"He might be. You know how close he is to Kurama. Even if he is, that's not stopping me. Kurama has always been there and cheered me up in the past and now it's time I returned the favor." He stated triumphantly.
"Ok then I have only one more question. Mind if I go with you?"
*Hiei's pov*
Outside it was pouring rain, lightening lighting up the clouded over sky. I sighed with my forehead against the window, staring out into the darkness of the world.
"Hiei, are you ok?" Kurama came and stood by my side, his hand gently placed on my shoulder.
Reaching up I grabbed that hand and sighed. "Kurama you should be in bed. You're never going to get better if you keep exhausting yourself."
I heard him smirk as he put his chin on the top of my head. "Let's admit it Hiei, no amount of bed rest will cure what I have. So how about I just pretend I'm alright and get on with my life ok?"
I could feel the anger he was directing at himself when he said this. It was like he thought his being sick was all his fault. Turning my body around, I gave his slim waist a quick hug and stood up. "Baka Kitsune. When will you ever stop blaming yourself for the world's problems?"
He shrugged and stood up, grabbing my hand. "Let's do something Hiei! I'm sick of being inside and being sad! Let's go have fun!" He had a huge smile on his pale face, making his green eyes shine against the soft skin.
I raised one of my eyebrows and looked at him cynically. "Kurama...if you haven't noticed it is raining. You are not going outside in the rain." My voice was almost a perfect monotone as I said that.
He just stared at me awhile and then laughed. "Yes mother!" Obviously he thought it was hysterical that he compared me to his mom because he collapsed on the bed with laughter. Soon he fell over the edge, still laughing. Seeing this made even me laugh a little. How could someone so near death laugh so hard? Kurama never ceased to amaze me in that way.
All too soon our giddy moment ended as we heard the doorbell ring from downstairs. I stood up to go answer the door but Kurama raced down the stairs and got there first. He opened the door slowly to reveal two young boys standing there, dripping head to toe in water.
*Kurama's pov*
"Hello Yusuke and Kuwabara! Come on in, you guys are soaked!" The looked at me with pitiful faces. Stepping inside my house, Kuwabara shook his head like a wet dog.
"Hey Kurama we came over to cheer you up!" The taller boy said, his mouth smiling but his eyes looking as if they were about to cry.
"Cheer me up? What do you mean?" As soon as I asked that I remembered what had happened the last time they visited. "Oh cheer me up I see! Well Hiei and I were about to do something...have any ideas?" I smiled at one friend then the other.
Looking at me quizzically, Yusuke said, "Hiei does fun things? This is defiantly new."
Laughing I nodded and pointed at the stairs, signaling for them to go up. Following their heels, I listened as Kuwabara walked into my room.
"Hey Hiei what's shakin'?" He stated nonchalantly.
"Nothing except your fat as you ran up those stairs. You need to loose some weight, human." Hiei stated evilly. I could imagine a huge grin on his tiny face.
"I told you he wouldn't like us coming over Kuwabara!" Yusuke yelled.
Walking into the room myself, they all stopped bickering. I got looks from them all as though I was a display in a freak show. Sighing irritably, I tried not to get angry. "You guys can you please stop treating me like I'm some piece of glass that's going to break the moment you remind me that I'm going to die? Just act normal."
Hiei glared at the others and Kuwabara and Yusuke mumbled a quick "Sorry Kurama."
Laughing I sat down next to Hiei on the bed. "So what do you guys want to do? You must have had an idea of what to do if you came over here."
Kuwabara grinned with a bit of guilt and pulled out a stack of cards. "Anyone up for some blackjack?"
After spending the whole day playing card games and watching dumb daytime television shows, I started wondering if I should tell them about Hiei and I. They were such good friends that I thought they might take it ok. But I kept having doubts that they'd get disgusted and leave forever. Taking a deep sigh I decided to take the risk. I had become famous in Makai for taking risks and making it hadn't I?
"Hey you guys...I have something to tell you. I just don't know how exactly to tell you without you two freaking out." When I mentioned just two, Hiei looked up at me, knowing what I was going to say. His ruby eyes pleaded with me to stop talking but I had already started the conversation.
"Are you going to say this whole dying thing has been a joke?" Kuwabara said, his beady eyes full of hope.
"No Kuwabara, sorry but that's not it." I stated, smiling gently.
"Well then what is it Kurama? You're freaking me out with the suspense!" Yusuke whined, fidgeting anxiously.
Taking a deep breath I decided to say it fast and get it over with. Looking at their faces for what might be the last time I opened my mouth to speak. "You see Hiei and I are lovers but we didn't want to tell you because we didn't know how you'd react and I was scared you wouldn't be our friends anymore." I was sure my cheeks were as red as my hair but I didn't care. Everything was out on the table and there was no taking anything back.
A/N hahahahhaa to see how Yusuke and Kuwabara react you'll have to read the next chapter! It's such a beautiful day that I have to get out of my basement and go have fun! Hope you all liked the chapter!
