Chapter 3: Bet you I can!

The next morning Kurama was in bed asleep. Yumi quietly came into the house and walked up stairs into Kurama's bed room. She then got on to the and began jumping on it. Kurama woke up in complete shock. "Yumi, what are you doing?"

"Waking you up."

"I noticed that, but why?"

"Just cause I can." Yumi stopped jumping on the bed and she let herself fall on the bed.

"What?"

"So, it's Saturday."

"Yea?" Kurama was very confused. None of this made any since to him.

"What do you want to do?"

"Well I don't know. Sleeping sounds good to me."

"No, lets do something more fun."

"What do you want to do then?"

Yumi's eyes grew big and she smiled. "Lets go out to the park. You know, with Yuusuke and the gang."

"Ok. Let me go get dressed."

"No! You can go naked!"

Kurama nearly fell out of his bed. "What?"

Yumi didn't say anything but laughed as she got up and ran downstairs.

"What was that all about?" Kurama asked himself.

A slight snicker came from the dark corner of his bedroom. Kurama turned around and saw Hiei come out of the shadows. "She's an interesting girl." Hiei said.

"I don't think interesting is the word."

"Well you better get dressed. I'm sure that only the girls would enjoy seeing you streaking."

Later that day everyone meet up at the park. Hiei sat quietly off to himself and watched as Yumi and Keiko played frisbee. Yumi finally turned around and noticed Hiei starring at her. She walked over to him and looked into his eyes.

"What?" Hiei snared.

"Why do you wear that bandana?"

"None of your damn business."

Yumi reached out her hand in an attempt to take it off, but Hiei slapped her hand away.

"Why are you always so mean and grumpy?"

"Leave me alone you stupid girl."

Yumi stood up and looked displeased with Hiei. She turned to continue to play frisbee, but she turned around and smiled at Hiei.

"What?"

"You need to smile some more. I bet you're cute when you smile."

Hiei raised and an eyebrow. "Leave me alone."

"I bet I could make you smile."

Kuwabara and Yuusuke began to laugh. "Good luck!" They both screamed as they turned red with laughter.

Yumi smiled and walked off.

"I thought you were going to make me smile!" Hiei screamed after her.

"I didn't say when I was going to do it." Yumi turned back and looked at Hiei then giggled.

Later that day the sun was setting and Yumi and Kurama sat in swings talking.

"So how are you going to make Hiei smile?" Kurama asked.

Yumi sat in the swing drawling with her feet in the sand. "You'll see."

Just then Kuwabara sneaked up and grabbed Yumi's hips and screamed. Yumi jumped up and along with her, a waterfall of sand. It flew up and over the swings were Kurama and Yumi sat and fell onto Kuwabara completely covering him.

"Oh Kuwabara are you ok?" Yumi asked as she was trying to dig him out of the sand. Yuusuke sat on the ground laughing.

"Thats what you get Kuwabara!" He screamed.

Kuwabara's head broke the surface and he pulled himself out from under the sand. "Shut up, Urameshi." Yuusuke laughed harder.

Yumi turned and walked away. Kurama followed her. Her head was down and she was watching her feet as she walked. He looked at her face and she was red with embarrassment.

"It's ok, Yumi."

"I can't control them. I could have killed Kuwabara."

"It's ok. He's fine. Look." Kurama pointed at the now fighting Yuusuke and Kuwabara.

Yumi smiled. "I hope so."

Kurama hugged her. "Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"Lets get the others and go grab a bite to eat."

"Ok." They began to walked back to the group when Yumi looked and noticed Hiei staring at her again. "Why does he stare at me?"

"Who, Hiei?" Kurama smiled. "I think he likes you."

Yumi looked up at her friend and smiled. "I thought so."

"Do you like him?"

"He's attractive. Only problem I would ever have with him is he doesn't seem to smile and he is always grumpy."

"True, but he's a good person."

Later that night when Yumi was home she walked over to her bedroom window and looked out. She noticed that there was a dark shadow on top of Kurama's roof. She went outside, got a ladder, and climbed onto Kurama's roof. It was Hiei sitting there.

"What are you doing out so late? It's not safe." He didn't turn around as he spoke he kept staring at the moon.

"What are you doing on Kurama's roof?"

Hiei didn't say anything. Yumi walked over and sat next to Hiei. She smiled and began to laugh.

"What?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking?"

"About?"

"Why do you all call Shuichi, Kurama?"

"Why do you?"

"I don't know. I heard someone over the phone call him that one time. I accidental said it the next and it felt so natural so I've called him that every since."

Hiei looked at Yumi."Natural?"

"I know it sounds weird, but Kurama just seems to fell wright. Like that really, is his name or something."

Hiei didn't say anything he turned back and looked up in the sky. Yumi stared at him.

"What is it now?" He snapped.

"Nothing."

Hiei looked at Yumi out of the corner of his eye.

"You like me, don't you?" She asked.

Hiei didn't say any thing.

Yumi sighed. She then got just a little closer to Hiei. "I like you, too." She then kissed him on the cheek. She then smiled and walked over to the ladder. "Well good night, Hiei."

Hiei didn't say anything, but once she got on the ground he smiled.

"See you do look cuter when you smile!" She screamed from the ground.

Hiei looked down at her with a puzzled looked on his face. She smiled and blew him a kiss.
