Chapter 2: Stories
Yukina and Genkai came back with trays of lemonade. Yukina handed a glass to Kuwabara, Botan, Kurama, and finally Hiei. "Here, Hiei."
Of course, he really didn't want any, but once again, this was Yukina. Hiei took the glass and eyed it before another elbow made him take a small sip. Yukina put her tray down and instead of going back to her original seat, she sat next to Hiei.
Yusuke, Botan, Kurama, and Kuwabara exchanged strange looks (except Kuwabara's was for another reason). Keiko didn't notice anything, so she started up a conversation comparingtwo popular male actors.
After a few...hours... of this punishment, Botan decided to save everyone by cuting Keiko off and entertaining them with a story about a particular spirit that died at Mc Donalds. "Okay, it was 10:15 in the morning when Koenma summoned me to his office and..."
During all of this, Keiko observed everyone in the room: Botan was alternating between fits on laughter and her story. She didn't notice Yusuke and Kuwabara making mocking faces of her, getting supressed grins from Genkai. Keiko cuffed Yusuke on the head and continued. Kurama was listening politely with a faint smile on his face, while beside him, Hiei was slouched down in the chair, half asleep. Yukina sat next to him, indifferent to his boredom. Hm... Why didn't she go back to sit with Kuwabara?
Kuwabara caught Keiko's gaze and let his flicker nervously over to the two small demons. Something was up.
"Yukina?" Keiko whispered.
"Hm?"
"Can I see you outside for a moment?"
Yukina nodded, so Keiko got up to go out the door. But when she looked back, the girl wasn't behind her. Keiko shot her a questioning look.
Yukina pointed to the corner of her kimono. It was stuck under the seemingly sleeping Hiei's leg.
