It's been a while, gomen, but now I'm back! So, without further ado, let's see Jin try to explain why Kurama is dressed like a girl.

>->->->->->

"You see…I-I-I was just trying to, ya know…" Jin stared at the ground as he tried to think of a reasonable response.

"No. I don't think I do know. Would you care to elaborate?" Touya was growing more impatient with each passing moment.

"Do I have a choice?"

"No! Now start explaining."

Jin looked at Kurama for help, but he seemed to be preoccupied with the busted balloons. "Well, I wanted to spend time with you two, but you never seemed to be around." Jin smiled at himself inside, evidently happy with his response. Touya seemed to need more than that, though.

"YOUR IDEA OF SPENDING TIME WITH THE TWO OF US IS DRESSING KURAMA UP AS A GIRL, AND HAVING HIM FLIRT WITH ME, WHILE YOU DO THE SAME WITH BOTAN! HOW THE HELL DOES ALL THAT ADD UP TO SPENDING TIME WITH US!"

Botan grabbed Touya's arm in attempt to calm him down, and apparently it was working because his breathing wasn't as heavy, and the volume of his voice went down by a lot.

"Okay, Jin, explain exactly how Kurama dressing up like a girl fits into your alibi. Then, just maybe, I won't consider ripping off your head."

"Ummm, well, th-that isn't exactly the whole story, it's only half."

"Aren't you going to explain the rest?"

"It all started at my house. I called everybody over to ask them why I haven't been able to get to either of you. Every time I called your house and went over, nobody was home. So I asked every body, and they suggested you two had feelings for each other, but you two just wouldn't get together. That's when I came up with this little plan to get you two together. I asked for everyone's help, and they helped. Kurama's part was to dress up as a girl who would distract and flirt with you" Jin pointed to Touya, "while he was doing that I was going to flirt with Botan. That was supposed to get you two jealous, and eventually help you realize that you two like each other, and you should get together already."

Touya stood there with his mouth wide open. For a minute he couldn't say anything, so he just stared at Jin and Kurama. That phase soon faded. "So let me get this straight. You wanted to get Botan and myself together. Am I right so far?"

"Yeah. That's 'bout it." Jin scratched the back of his head in confusion when Botan and Touya started laughing. "What's so funny?"

"I have no idea. I just think the predicament we're currently in is funny. Don't you think so? I mean Kurama, you dressed up like a girl, and for what? Did it accomplish anything? No!" Touya couldn't talk anymore beyond this point, his stomach hurt too much, and he was still fighting through giggle fits. Botan, on the other hand, had stopped laughing, and looked at the two.

"I do hope you realize you went through all that trouble for nothing. I mean, it doesn't look like you're any closer to your goal than you were before." Botan had a look of hurt in her eyes. She secretly wished that she and Touya were together, but it seemed as if that would ever happen. Though she looked sad, she did feel happy that her friends cared, and that they tried their best to make the two of them happy. 'I guess it was just never meant to be.' She sighed and then smiled at Kurama and Jin, sort of a thank you smile.

Touya had finally finished laughing (quite some time ago), and pondered on what Botan had said. "Aw, come on Botan. I wouldn't say they aren't any closer to their goal."

Botan lifted her head to look at Touya. "What do you mean? Their goal was to get us together, and that still hasn't happened yet."

"True. But who says there still isn't time to help them accomplish their goal?"

Botan was beside herself. Was he asking her what she thought he was asking her? She couldn't believe it! "What exactly are you proposing, Touya?"

Touya knew that she knew exactly what he was asking her, but he played along any ways. Hey, it could be fun. "Well, I think you know exactly what I'm asking you."

"Oh? Do I really?"

"You should have an idea, yes."

Jin and Kurama watched them flirt with each other, and then it was obvious that their plan had worked. They looked at each other and then smiled.

The day was coming to an end and the park was closing. "Um, sorry to interrupt the question game, but I think we'd better get going." Jin waited for a response, but he got nothing. Maybe, it was because they were to caught up in each other's eyes to hear what he said. Rain started to fall from the once blue sky, but nobody moved. Jin was waiting for Touya and Botan, Kurama was waiting for them too, and Botan and Touya were too busy with each other to care. The rain came down harder and drenched them. People were running past them to get out of the rain, but there stood Botan and Touya. They looked at each other as if nothing else mattered. They didn't seem to notice it was raining, and the rush around them just disappeared, and all they could see was their significant other.

"Guys? It's kind of raining now…so we should get going…guys?"

"Forget them Kurama, just grab one of them by the arm and run towards the exit."

"Exactly, which way is that?"

"Good question. Try that way."

"Got it."

Kurama grabbed Botan and Jin grabbed Touya, and they bolted for the exit. The exit was the opposite direction in which they were running, and they didn't figure that out until they got to the end. There stood a sign that read exit that way, and there was a finger that was pointing in the direction from which they had come. They started to run the other way, and Botn and Touya had finally come back from la la land.

"Where are we going guys?" Botan looked up at Kurama with a confused look.

"We're getting out of here."

They finally reached the exit out of breath and tired. "WHAT!" Touya looked up at the tall iron gate that stood between him and the street. "Now what the hell are we going to do? There's no way we can get over that gate." (Actually there is, but I need something good for the next chapter…soooooo, just go with it, okay?)

Kurama walked up to the gate. "I could get out, but what about you guys?"

Jin stepped up beside him. "Yeah, I could get over that too. I'm fine, let's go"

Just as they started to go over they were stopped.

"Hold it you two. If we can't all get out of here at the same time, then nobody's getting out of here. Clear?"

"I suppose that's fair…even though it as your guys' fault…" Jin crossed his arms and floated.

"What was that, I didn't hear you?"

"Nothing, I didn't say anything."

"Good. Now let's go try to find some other way out of here. If not then we'd better start looking for supplies, looks like we'll be here for a couple nights."

Night soon fell, and they'd been searching for hours, but they hadn't found a way out yet. They decided staying there was their only option. They found a place to sleep, and turned in for the night.

>->->->->->->

Jin's house was filled with everybody who was there earlier. Keiko and Yukina looked worried that something might have gone wrong, because Jin and Kurama weren't back yet.

"What's taking them?" Keiko threw her arms in the air and plopped down on the couch. "What if something went wrong? Maybe Touya found out what was going on and killed them! Or, maybe, they all went out to celebrate the plan working. Yeah, that's what they're doing."

Yusuke and Kuwabara were raiding the fridge. "Don't worry." Yusuke threw some food in his mouth. "I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Oh help, I got locked in the amusement park! Really, do you see something like that happening to them?"

"I guess not. Maybe you're right. I just wish they'd get back already."

Hours went by and still no sign of Jin and Kurama. Everyone had gotten tired of waiting, and had fallen asleep.

>->->->->->

Well, um, that chapter sucked! Sorry the chapter was short, I'll try to make up for that in the next chapter. I'm hoping the next chapter will be better.
