Oh by the way, for this chapter there's going to be a lot of singing in italics just so you know (in case you wanna skip over it or something).

Niana Kuonji: I am so tempted to write a chapter that's all about an average day in Jin's life!!!

Moonlight-kitsune: My lips are sealed on who it is but I thought having Genkai in the story would be better than Toguro so I must find a suitable fate for him…

What2callmyself: I'm surprised Yusuke hasn't blown up the school by now oh wait… maybe he will in a later chapter (cackles evilly).

Raging Lion: Here's your next serving of Fiery Roses!

Chapter Twelve: Party at Yusuke's!

Yusuke rummaged through his refrigerator briefly before pulling out three packs of canned beer and some sake. Opening a can and chugging about half of it, Yusuke grinned, "To Karasu's o so painful death!"

Kuwabara paled. "We don't actually have to drink that stuff do we?"

"Well, since you don't have the balls to, there's also soda but you can get it yourself." Yusuke mocked. "Oh yeah, there's a karaoke machine here too. Who would want to sing first?"

"I will!" Touya answer enthusiastically.

"I wanna go after Touya!" Jin declared.

While the two of them got the karaoke machine ready, Yusuke was getting drinks for everyone. "Hey, Kurama, want a beer?"

"No thank you, Yusuke. I'd prefer some diet soda if you have it." Kurama replied, half watching Touya and Jin arguing about how to hook the machine up.

"Yuck. You like drinking that nasty shit?" Yusuke shuddered but handed Kurama a diet coke anyway. "What'll you have, Hiei?"

"Feh, sake." Hiei muttered.

"Just don't set it on fire." Yusuke warned because he of all people should know just how flammable something could be, even though sake isn't all that flammable.

"Yeah, right…" Hiei grumbled because he knew that trying to burn sake was a waste of time.

"You know Hiei, if you drink too much of that it'll damage your liver." Kurama cautioned with concern.

Hiei just shrugged and sipped on his drink as Touya and Jin started beating each other with the microphones.

"Hey, watch it! Those suckers cost a lot, you know!" Yusuke yelled.

"Sorry, Yusuke." Touya apologized and kicked Jin in the face so he could sing.

"Those two crack me up." Yusuke admitted, shaking his head and plopping down on the couch next to Kurama and Hiei.

Yami kara yami e oto mo naku hashirinukeru

Hikari wo motome Hitasura ni tsuzukeru tabi

Kurama set his diet coke onto the coffee table in front of him and Hiei took another sip of his sake before doing the same. "Is this all we're going to be doing?" Hiei grumbled at Yusuke.

Yami yori mo fukai yami de kogoete ru mune ga

Nukumori wo kanjiru no wa itsu ka

"We can always play truth or dare again." Yusuke grinned, deviously.

"NO!" Hiei snarled.

Kagayaki wo suru shunkan ni nigete yuku kasuka na hikari

Tsukamaero! Chansu-

Jin unplugging the karaoke machine cut off Touya's singing. "Hey! I was singing here!" Touya growled.

"Yes, and you're singing is better than most bird's in spring but it's my turn now!" Jin hopped up and down and grabbed the microphone from Touya's hands.

By this point, Hiei was getting pretty bored… and Kurama was noticing this. "Really Yusuke, is there anything else to do besides watching Jin and Touya kill each other?" Kurama wondered to his long time best friend.

Hey, hey, fly away with the whirlwind

If you get blown away, how now

To find your dream you got to go farther

Yusuke thought long and hard, which says a lot for him. "I know!" The teen punched his fist into his other palm. "We can do prank calls!"

Kurama sweat dropped. "That's not exactly what I had in mind…"

"Sounds interesting." Hiei mused.

In the background, Jin was getting random objects thrown at him by Touya while Kuwabara zoned out because he's just stupid.

"Great!" Yusuke sprang to his feet and ran to get the phone. "Who wants to go first?"

"I will." Hiei yanked the phone out of Yusuke's grip and dialed some random number.

"Thank you for making a collect call to America." A woman on the other line said pleasantly.

"Uh…" Hiei glanced around nervously because he didn't mean to do that. When the person answered Hiei just shrugged and went with it. After all, it wasn't like he would be paying for it. "Uh, yeah, is your-"

"Hiei, my love!!!" The girl on the other side exclaimed.

"Gack!" Hiei hung up as quickly as he could.

"What's wrong, Hiei?" Kurama asked.

"Rabid fan girl!" The spiky-haired freshman shuddered at the thought.

"Let me show you how it's done." Yusuke retrieved the phone and called Pizza Hut. "Yeah, I'd like twenty extra large pizzas with anchoovees, no what. An-chow-vies... all hell! You know what I mean! Make it a delivery to 1452 Up Yours lane." Yusuke snickered and hung up.

Kurama sighed, despairingly. "Really Yusuke, if you're going to do something at least do it with some style." The redhead took the phone next and dialed an unknown number. "Yes this is the United States Secret Service, would you like to buy a state secret? Really? That'll be 40,000,000,000 dollars. Thank you for buying." Kurama hung up with a superior smile on his face.

"That was… stupid…" Yusuke sighed.

Shaking his head, Kurama turned to look at Hiei. "I'd be honored if you sang a duet with me."

Hiei blushed and nodded sheepishly. The two of them kicked Jin off the karaoke machine and Kurama started the music to a somewhat fast-paced song. The redhead tapped his foot lightly to the beat and waited for Hiei to start singing first.

"The wind races, a silent hurricane calling me. It's probably a sign, a signal of the decisive battle." Hiei sang quietly in his somewhat deep voice.

"Yes, the day has come for the dream that's more important than my life, to be fulfilled." Kurama joined in with his slightly higher pitched voice.

And together they sang the chorus. "With my heart like this, I'm just Fighting to dream! I won't let anyone get in my way. We can decide things like fate for ourselves. Like the wind, we're just Shooting to dream! Cutting off the pain of the past, we now decide the future with our own hands. Get chance!"

Everyone couldn't help but stop whatever they were doing and listen to this song. Absolutely no one could deny that these two sounded so good together! But after jumping into the second verse and singing the chorus once more, sadly the song ended. But the ending was met by applause and Kuwabara's retarded-ness.

"Can I sing with you guys?!" Kuwabara asked, standing and grabbing a third microphone.

Hiei gritted his teeth. "Hell n-"

"Sure." Kurama smiled, interrupting Hiei.

"Great!" Kuwabara exclaimed and put on another song that was a little slower than the one Kurama and Hiei had just sang.

Kuwabara started them off and then Hiei sang his part but it was after the chorus when Kurama got his own little bit. The song continued like this until the music suddenly quieted.

"What kinds of words sit Eye to Eye?" Kurama sang.

"I can't get you!" Hiei supplied.

"You can't get me!" Kurama finished with a wide smile on his face.

Suddenly there was a loud crack of thunder outside, which accidentally shut off the karaoke machine. Jin squeaked and everyone jerked their heads outside to see it suddenly start pouring.

"That's not natural…" Yusuke pointed out. "And just great! It fried my karaoke machine!!!"

Sure enough, the karaoke machine was now smoking from the inside.

"It was Kuwabara's singing I tell you…" Hiei pointed at the big oaf standing next to him.

"Shut up! It was not my fault!!!" Kuwabara retorted.

Getting a headache from all the noise, both inside and out, Kurama sat down on the couch and took a large swig from what he thought was his diet coke.

"Well what should we do for fun now?" Touya asked.

"Male bonding!" Kuwabara exclaimed and everyone gave him a disturbed look.

Yusuke shrugged and asked randomly, "So Kurama, what do you love best in this stupid world of ours?"

"I LOVE FLOWERS!!!" Kurama hiccupped.

Hiei, who was sitting right next to him, figured out Kurama had accidentally grabbed his sake instead of the diet coke. Oops… Hiei thought inwardly. "You mean you don't love…" The red-eyed boy glanced around before whispering into Kurama's ear. "Me?"

"No! I love flowers!" Kurama swayed tipsily.

"Great… Kurama's drunk…" Yusuke sighed.

"YUSUKE URAMESHI!!!" Someone pounded on the door.

"Uh oh…" Yusuke squeaked.

TO BE CONTINUED

For those of you who didn't recognize the Japanese Yu Yu Hakusho songs (you suck! Just kidding!) Touya was singing, "Gleam", Jin sang, "Fly away with the whirlwind", Kurama and Hiei sang "Wild Wind", Kuwabara and Kurama and Hiei sang "Eye to Eye". Don't ask me what Touya's song meant because I don't have the English translation for his! I hope I didn't get a little carried away with the songs.
