Author's note: I've decided to not let my muses help me out for the remainder of the fic. They really are working overtime and they deserve a break from this. They need to focus on my other fics anyway. Anyway, here is the next chapter, which I think you're going to like. Really the first few chapters might have some points completely irrelevant to the story. It's just there for some fun and to keep it interesting. But I'm sure you don't want to sit here and listen to me talk all day, so here is the next chapter.

Boring. Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring-boring! It was amazing how one word repeated multiple times could summarize what Yusuke thought of school. He had better things to do than listed to the teachers ramble on about how many different ways to draw a triangle. He was only here because Kurama, Keiko, and Kuwabara jumped him on the way out of his apartment and literally dragged him there anyway.

The young Spirit Detective sighed and propped his head up with one arm, using the other one to hold up his pencil while the chewed on the eraser. It wasn't like he had anything better to do. Pay attention? Yeah right, like he was here to learn.

He brought his pencil down to his paper and doodled until the bell rang for his last class. The good news was that after this he could leave. The bad news was that it was gym. He hated gym.

Normally he was able to get out of it by sneaking onto the roof before class, but this morning Kurama had made a deal with him.

"If you don't miss a singe class this week, I'll have a special surprise waiting for you on Saturday" he said. "The one I planned on giving to you last month…"

For ages Yusuke had been wondering about that "surprise." The original plan had been interrupted by a sudden sleepover (which really wasn't that bad of a night anyway.) He had been left in the dark since. And now he wanted to know what it was, but he had to go through school first.

So that's why, for the first time since third grade, Yusuke Urameshi was changing into his gym uniform. Don't think he didn't hear the whispers from his classmates.

"Urameshi's -actually- doing gym"

"I didn't think he even knew where the Gym was."

"He's a good fighter, but I wonder if he's athletic at all."

"I wouldn't bet on it. I bet fighting's all he -can- do."

"Yeah! He probably won't even get once around the track."

Yusuke's eyes narrowed as the other boys laughed. Boy, were they in for a surprise.

"Okay guys. I want you all to give me two laps around the track and then stretch out before we- hey! Mr. Urameshi, I haven't seen you here since… ever." Yusuke just shrugged got in line with the rest of the class between Keiko and Kuwabara.

The teacher signaled for them to go and he took off, quickly getting ahead of the rest of the class. He wasn't going at super speed, but he was faster than everybody else and finished in under four minutes without even a single change in his breathing or a drop of sweat. The entire class (save Keiko and Kuwabara) was shocked.

When everyone else finished they headed to the field. They were playing American Soccer. Yusuke lingered at the back of the mob while the teacher explained the rules and other junk like that.

"Yusuke"

He turned around to see Botan running towards him in her school girl outfit.

"Hey Botan. What's up" he asked slightly board.

"Koenma is calling a meeting. I need to track down Hiei, so can you and Kuwabara go get Kurama from his school? Great! I'll meet you at the park in and hour to take you there. Later"

And with that, she was off. Yusuke just stood there for a moment blinking before moving back to the crowd of students. He pulled out Kuwabara and told him what was going on while they changed back into their normal clothes and left the campus.

"So, did she say what it was about" Kuwabara panted, trying to keep up with his fast pace. Yusuke just shrugged. He didn't have a clue, but for some reason he got the feeling this one was a big deal.

He frowned, turning a corner. What ever happened to all the little cases anyway? He would be able to defeat them in under a minute, but they -were- the simplest to slip through to the human world.

He didn't bother himself with it as he came to a stop in front of Kurama's school. It was about twice as large as his and full of really smart people. Not a place he could picture himself in. Nonetheless he strode in the front doors full of confidence with Kuwabara trailing behind him like a lost puppy.

"Excuse me" he said to the lady at the main office, making sure to put on his "sweet, innocent student" face. "We're looking for Kur- Ah, Shuichi Minamino. Do you know where we could find him"

The old lady peered over her glasses and studied him for a moment before responding"Mr. Minamino didn't come to school today."

WHAT? The guy practically threatens him into -his- school, but doesn't even bother to go to his own? That was hypocritical, that was.

Now Yusuke was pissed. He shoved his hands into his pockets and left the building. He decided he could just go to the park and hope Botan or Hiei got him.

"Yusuke!" Well speak of the devil. He turned around to see none other than Hiei, Botan, and Kurama themselves. "You wouldn't believe it" Kurama said when they got closer. "Hiei's been chasing me all day, I've been chasing Botan, and Botan's been chasing Hiei. As a result we all collided by the arcade. Literally." He rubbed his head were a bump was forming.

"Well then" Botan said cheerfully. "Now that the troops are assembled, we're off to Spirit World!"


The group of Spirit Detectives gathered in the small room that was Koenma's office. Before them was a large desk stacked with papers. To the left stood Botan, now in her pink kimono. On the right was a large screen that was used to preview any details about a mission. And sitting behind the desk itself was a teenaged Koenma. Sitting back in his chair, the prince of Spirit World hit a button on his remote, causing the shadowy outline of a figure to appear on the screen.

"Your next mission," he began, "Is going to involve a lot more investigating than anything else." He hit the button again and a map appeared. "About a week ago we sensed some strong demon energy coming from this area. We are guessing upper B lower A class. Now after the initial sighting the energy almost completely diminished, except for a faint trace of it here and there.

"Now normally this wouldn't call for too much questioning. We would have you track him down, blow him to bits, and case closed. The problem is we don't know how he got here. The area where he first appeared," the map closed in on one particular spot, showing a burnt down old shrine, "has been searched thoroughly. There is not a single way in that area for a demon to jump realms.

"What we need you to do is capture this demon, alive, and find out how he got here. We need to be able to secure that area so that no other demons can get through. But here's the problem. Several times we have been able to pinpoint his location, so we sent troops out. He was there; they had him in sight, but then he would just vanish, energy and all. It's happened a few times, but whenever we even begin to approach him, he runs."

"So why not just use Hiei's Jagan Eye to track him down?" Yusuke asked.

"He did," Hiei said tonelessly. "I found him for a second, but again, he disappeared and not even my Jagan could find him."

"Right, so our new plan is to get him to come to you."

"Hold out your arms," Botan said. They did and she marked each of them with a symbol of a star within a circle.

"What's this?" Kuwabara asked, poking at it.

"This," Koenma said, "is what will attract the demon. They will let of small amounts of your energy, but just enough for him to notice. It may take a while, but he will eventually be drawn to you. So until then, I'm afraid you're just going to have to…"

"WAIT?"

Yusuke had a look of pure annoyance on his face.

"You just want us to wait!"

"Yes Yusuke, I want you to wait. Any other approach and not even Hiei will be able to move fast enough to catch him."

A few minutes later the group filed out, Yusuke leading the way and sulking. Koenma expected him to just wait. He hated waiting.

Feeling a hand on his shoulder he turned around to see Kurama smiling down at him. "Come stay the night, Yusuke," he said. "There's something I want to give you."


Ding-Dong!

"Yes? Oh, Yusuke! How are you? Please, come in." Mrs. Minamino opened the door letting the boy in. "Shuichi is up in his room. Will you be staying the night?"

"Thank you Mrs. Minamino, I'd love to." He nodded to her and walked upstairs to Kurama's room. Mrs. Minamino had become very accustomed to having Yusuke show up on her front door step. Of course she did have a bit of a hard time adjusting to why he always came over. She had, after all, walked in to her son's room to offer some tea, only to see him making out with another boy. But she accepted bother son's sexuality and Yusuke, so he was always more than welcome to come over.

Turning the doorknob, he peaked into his boyfriend's room. The red-head was sitting at his desk doing what he assumed was homework. "Come on in," he said, not looking up. Yusuke stepped in and closed the door behind him. Kurama finished writing the sentence before setting his pen down and looking up. "Hello Yusuke."

"Hey Kurama. You said you had something you had to give me."

"And so I do," he said standing up. He took a few steps closer to him.

"So, what is it?" Yusuke asked, also stepping closer to the other boy.

"Well," they were now mere inches away from each other. "I don't know if I want to give it to you," he purred. "I mean, what is it that you have to offer in return?" He wrapped his arms around the younger boy's waist.

"What do I have to offer?" Yusuke put his arms around Kurama's neck. For a moment he stared lovingly into the bright green eyes before bringing his lips up to capture his. Upon feeling Kurama return the pressure, Yusuke let his eyes flutter closed, becoming fully absorbed in the kiss. He could feel Kurama's mouth slowly open and run his tongue across Yusuke's bottom lip. Yusuke moaned at the touch and parted his lips, allowing Kurama the entrance he desired.

The two of them began a fight for dominance; a fight that Yusuke was quickly losing. Kurama put more force into the kiss and Yusuke soon found himself pressed against the wall. Giving up his battle, he let Kurama explore his mouth freely. But as quickly as the kiss started, it ended as the red head slowly pulled away, leaving a very disappointed Yusuke behind.

"Don't stop… more… please?"

Kurama chucked. "Not now Yusuke. It's late. Besides, you do need to breathe."

"Screw air!" He leaned in for another kiss, but Kurama placed two fingers over his boyfriend's lips to stop him, shaking his head with a small smile playing on his mouth.

"Time for bed Yusuke. And besides," he retreated to his closet to pull out some pajamas. "I still have something I need to give to you."

That was right! All it took was one thirty second kiss and Yusuke had almost forgotten the reason he was there. But now that he did remember, his friends Anticipation and Curiosity were back.

A little while later the lights were off, the boy's changed, and curled under the blankets of Kurama's bed. The first time Yusuke had slept over, he quickly decided that Kurama's bed was much more comfortable than a sleeping bag on the floor, so they choose to share it that night, and every night afterward that Yusuke decided to sleep over.

But that's just what they did, sleep. Nothing beyond that ever found its way into that bed.

Kurama let his head rest against the soft pillows. He wrapped his arms around Yusuke who snuggled further into the warm embrace. Yusuke liked to be held. Most people wouldn't think that, considering the though guy, street punk, bad ass, get-the-hell-out-of-my-way-or-I'll-kill-you attitude he had, the fact was he liked being held. It was nice to be able to just let his guard down and relax in the arms of someone he knew loved him. He felt safe. Cared about. Protected. A feeling he had never had a chance to experience while he was growing up.

But now he had Kurama who was there to hold him and care about him. He couldn't have been happier.

"Yusuke?" whispered Kurama, breaking the comfortable silence that surrounded them.

"Hmm?"

"You know I love you, right?"

"Yeah."

Kurama sat up, and letting go of Yusuke he reached into his hair and pulled something out. Yusuke couldn't see what it was though because he kept his hand closed around it.

"Then, I want you to accept this."

He opened his hand and held it out. Illuminated by a small strip of moonlight was a flower. It was rose-like in shape and was a deep red color with white streaks passing through it that glittered in the moonlight. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Kurama, its beautiful!" he gasped. "Thank you." Sitting up, he gently took the flower into his had as Kurama started talking again.

"This is a very special flower Yusuke," he said, his voice sounding slightly strained. "It's very rare and can only be found in one part of Demon World. It's called the "Shin'ai Hitohana," the Love Blossom."

Yusuke looked up curiously at him. "Love Blossom?"

"Yes. I-It lives off of my love for you," he said, sounding nervous or some reason, but Yusuke hardly took notice, too absorbed in what Kurama was saying. He took Yusuke's hand into his own and laced their fingers together. Then he crushed the flower between their two hands. "It can't be destroyed, just as my love for you can't be destroyed. I can only have one of these in my lifetime and I'm giving it to you." He opened their hands to reveal the perfect, unharmed flower. "I love you Yusuke Urameshi, now and forever."

Yusuke looked from the flower to Kurama with tears in his eyes. Tears of pure happiness. He lunged forward and wrapped his arms around him, burying his face in his chest.

"I love you too, Kurama. Forever."


YYY: And that's it. The second chapter of "Love Blossom" is complete. So what did you think of it. Cute, fluffy, and full of happiness, right? Well, enjoy it people. I'm afraid that trouble is soon to make its appearance.
