Kurama sighed, school had just ended for the day and all he wanted to do was go home, but as it was Kurama didn't see himself getting his wish anytime soon. He'd promised to meet up with the gang at Keiko's families' restaurant. Kurama took another deep sigh. He didn't much feel like going and seeing all the couples. Yusuke and Keiko, Kuwabara at least thought he had Yukina; Botan had Koenma even if he wouldn't be there, and Shizuru? Well Shizuru had whatever guy she was with that week.
He, Kurama, had no one and being around all those happy pairs made his heart ache. Yes, he could have any girl he wanted at his school, but he didn't want any of them. He found them shallow as sheep, however amusing they were.
In truth, Kurama really didn't know what he wanted, which was rare for him. Kurama exited the school, fan girls sticking their heads out of their hiding places to watch, and he made his way slowly to the restaurant.
After a few minutes of progress Kurama suddenly stopped his heart leaping with joy that didn't show in his voice. "Hello, Hiei."
Kurama heard a snort, than a black clad figure jumped down from a tree just a few feet away. "Took you long enough. This human world has weakened you."
Kurama smiled, Hiei continuously told him he was going soft. "I assure you, I am no weaker than I was yesterday." Teased Kurama.
"You where weak then too." Stated Hiei eyes locking with Kurama's.
"Yes, Hiei." Said Kurama, eyes alight with amusement.
Kurama turned and continued his walk. Hiei fell in step beside him.
"Where are we going?" asked Hiei in his cold uncaring way.
'We' thought Kurama, a warm felling coming into his heart. "Keiko's families' restaurant to meet Yusuke, Kuwabara and the girls."
"Hn." Grunted Hiei.
When they had reached the restaurant Kurama opened the door for Hiei with a teasing half bow. Hiei snorted and walked past. So like him, thought Kurama cheerfully. They found everyone at tables in the far corner of the restaurant.
"Hey, Kurama!" greeted Yusuke loudly, making the near by customers wince.
"Hello." Returned Kurama taking a seat next to Yusuke with Hiei taking a seat next to him.
They all left a few hours from then and Kurama was in higher spirits than he'd been in weeks.
It had been more fun than he'd expected, even if it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Yusuke and Keiko had fought in their usual way, Kuwabara had fawned over Yukina, and Botan and Shizuru gossiped and laughed with the rest, but what had really made it enjoyable was the way Hiei twitched at the sight of all of them. And as he waved goodnight to the others and started his walk home with Hiei at his side he chuckled, "Couples are a curious thing." Which only earned him a trademark "Hn" and glare from his ruffled fire demon friend.
