"Speech"
'Thought'
Annual Anniversary
It had been a year since the gang had gotten married. They were all exceptionally happy, even Hiei, though he'd die before he would admit it. Kurama's parent's were also glad to have met Botan; their son's 'girlfriend', also known to him as his wife; they just didn't know it.
Everyone had changed, they had gotten closer to their spouses and had all changed for the better. Yusuke and Kuwabarra got A's. Hiei mellowed out and Hinageshi became less perky all the time.
All the guys got together one day, a week before their one-year anniversary. They had decided to all go out for dinner. Since they were all married on the same day they could go out together. But as they got together, one thing still remained a problem… what sort of gift to give to their wives?
"Any ideas?" Yusuke asked
"My mother's friend owns a jewelry store. I believe we could be able to get a few pieces of jewelry for a good price there." Kurama smiled.
"Sounds good to me." Yusuke smirked.
"Well go there tomorrow, that way fox here can go inform him of our arrival before we arrive." Hiei stated.
"Yes, I'll also make the reservation…are we going to get one big table, or smaller tables?" Kurama questioned.
"Get one big table for the eight of us, that way we should be able to celebrate together." Yusuke stated.
"Well you three can celebrate. But I want a table for myself and my darling Yukina." Kuwabarra said.
"NO! way idiot" Hiei growled.
"What's your problem shrimp?"
"Spending more time then needed to with you…idiot."
"Why you…" And so the argument began.
The girls.
The girls had done a bit of shopping for their gifts. Hinageshi had just bought Hiei's gift, and she was slightly annoyed.
"Why I never! I mean asking for my license! How old do I look?" Hinageshi huffed.
"12…on good days" Keiko answered truthfully. "Personally, I believe you we lucky as it is to have even been able to buy a sword."
"Ha Ha." Hinageshi stuck out her tongue. "So have you bought your gift Botan?"
"Yea, I had asked Hiei to get me this rare seed from the Makai, and I just bought a book, Kurama had wanted." Botan replied 'Yukina…have you?"
"Well… I sort of made my gift. It's a necklace with one of my tear gems on it. I really hope Kazuma likes it." Yukina replied. " What about you Keiko?"
"Well, I got Yusuke a locket with the picture of him and me. The rest well…I'll give to him when we get home." Keiko blushed and giggled.
"DO you know that the guys are taking us out for dinner?" Botan stated.
"Yeah. Yusuke said it was a very expensive restaurant so we would have to dress nice." Keiko replied.
"I can't wait." Hinageshi stated
"Hey Hinageshi…How is Hiei in private…does he keep that 'I'm going to kill you' look?"
"Well, no… actually he's very sweet. He sometimes brings me ice cream which is quiet an accomplishment for him. And remember the time I collapsed from the Two Weeks of Terror? (Desire Discovery), he took all my cases and brought me my favorite flowers. Cherry blossoms. They weren't even in bloom." Hinageshi described. "Our honeymoon was very strange at first… but then we never left the room."
"The same goes with us. Kazuma and I…but our awkward only lasted for about a week." Yukina stated.
"An hour for us" Keiko blushed.
"Ohhh. SO that's what's Yusuke's favorite pass time is." Botan grinned. Hinageshi and Yukina laughed while Keiko just blushed. " Well our, Kurama's and mine's honeymoon was spent trying not to let his family find out why we were there. But the nights and even some of the afternoon were fun. Though we never had any awkward between us. Though we both agreed it was anything but relaxing." Botan sighed. "Though we still have a lot of fun."
"Poor you. Have you thought of getting an apartment? It must be hard living, knowing his parents could come in at any moment," Hinageshi asked
"Yeah…but now that Spirit Detectives and some ferry girls are getting paid, we want to save our money for the moment… but we have discussed it several times. So hopefully by this time next year we'll have our own place." Botan sighed.
"Hey don't worry about it. My parents think I'm insane as it is. They don't even know I sneak out every other night. I must say learning how to summon an oar is very helpful." Keiko stated.
"We're lucky Kurama's parents know about Spirit world and that he's a demon." Botan replied "But I don't even want to think of how they would react if they found out he was married." She shuttered.
"I guess we are the lucky ones since Hiei and Kazuma really don't live with any of their family; so we are alright." Yukina stated. Hinageshi nodded.
The girls continued to talk until they reached the park. There, Hinageshi and Botan went one way, while Keiko and Yukina went the other.
Hinageshi turned towards Botan. "Hey Botan I was wondering…. um… how would you like it if you, Kurama, Hiei and I all rented an apartment? We'd split the rent and everything; and with all of our four paychecks we should be able to make it. Hiei and I found one…but it's not that we can't afford it… just that we are usually too busy to manage a place in Human World. But This way we can have a place here for when we aren't in the Makai or Spirit World." Hinageshi continued.
"Well maybe. I can't give you a definite answer until I discuss it with Kurama, Although I think he'll like the idea." Botan smiled.
"Thanks. I promised Hiei I'd asked you about it." Hinageshi breathed.
They soon spotted Kurama and Hiei coming up to them.
"Hey Botan" Kurama kissed her.
"Hey Sweetie." Botan replied kissing back. They waved goodbye to Hiei and Hinageshi, and headed for Kurama's house.
That night Kurama headed downstairs. Botan was working so he wasn't afraid of being discovered. Earlier they had discussed the issue of the apartment and they both agreed it was a good idea. It would mean they would have more freedom for missions and other things. Once Kurama got downstairs he sat at his seat. His mother had just finished placing the plates on the table. Kazuya brought up the subject of what they wold be doing on Saturday.
"Well Botan and a group of friends and I are going to go to Le'scrable. " Kurama replied.
"Really?" Shiori asked shocked.
"Yeah… We're celebrating an anniversary." Kurama replied.
"Well, Le'scrable is a good place for a wedding anniversary not just for date; you know." Kazuya stated.
"I know, but we are celebrating a lot of things. Hinageshi and Hiei's wedding anniversary; Keiko and Yusuke's engagement; Hiei not killing Kuwabarra, Yukina finding out who her brother is… finally; I thought Hiei would never tell her. As well as Botan and mine's dating anniversary. We decided just to add it all together since it's a lot of things to celebrate. I've already made the reservations." Kurama replied, partially lying.
"Well, I'd admit that's a lot of things to celebrate." Shuiichi blinked, Kurama just shrugged.
"Yes, that reminds me, mother do you think you can contact Aunt Gem and ask her if a few friends and I went to visit her in her store. They were looking for jewelry for their wives…or in Yusuke's case fiancée." Kurama asked.
"Sure Shuui…I mean Kurama." Shiori stuttered.
"Mother, you can call me Shuuichi if you want." Kurama replied. "It doesn't bother me."
"Really?" Kurama nodded. "Thank you Shuuichi"
The next day
After school the guys met up, and followed Kurama to the jeweler.
"Hello Aunt Gem" Kurama greeted as they entered the store.
"Hello my dear Shuuichi, my how have you grown. Here to buy a ring…for a certain girl…for a certain reason?" She asked, she gave a knowing smirk.
"Not this time. But rather a necklace, as well as a few of my friends need similar items." Kurama smiled,
"Well, then take a look, I can cut you all a pretty good deal." Gem shrugged. The guys looked around. They each found something that caught their interest. Kurama found a beautiful, ruby pendent in a shape of a rose, it was on a silver chain, the rose itself was neither too big nor too small. Hiei found a beautiful sterling silver chain; it would go perfect with the tear gem he was going to give her. Yusuke found a diamond necklace, although he was also going to see if she would take Puu off his hands, though he doubts it. Kuwabarra bought a white gold chain with blue topazes dipping down in ripples.
When they came to pay, they were all surprised at the price. Either they had gotten a good discount or they had been expecting too much. But Koenma paid them only 500,000 dollars a month. The guys wrapped their presents and went home, as Kurama thanked his Aunt Gem.
The rest of the week flew by quickly, and it was now their anniversary. Hiei and Kurama told the girls that they would meet them at the park, Kurama would borrow Kazuya's car. They would all then drive to the restaurant together, where they would meet up with the other two couples. Kurama created two bouquets; one of roses and the other of lilies. He gave the one of lilies to Hiei.
"Hn" Hiei replied.
"Your welcome Hiei" Kurama replied as they arrived at the park. Botan and Hinageshi were waiting. Botan wore a velvet green dress. A perfect match to Kurama who wore a pair of black pants and a green dress shirt and tie. Hinageshi wore a black dress; while as usual Hiei wore all black.
The girls gushed over the flowers. Botan kissed Kurama, while Hinageshi just smiled at Hiei. They didn't like to show public affection for one another.
When the group arrived at the restaurant, they met up with the others. Yusuke wore a pair of black pants and a sapphire blue shirt; while Keiko wore a violate dress. Kuwabarra wore a pair of pants with a yellow shirt, while Yukina wore a crystal blue dress. They were, all right on time for their reservations. They were seated at a large table in the center of the room. Kurama, Botan, Hinageshi and Hiei on one side. Yusuke, Keiko, Yukina and Kuwabarra on the other side. They were all looking at the menu when the conversations started.
"Hey Botan, How did you and Hinageshi escape Spirit World for the night?" Kuwabarra asked "Wasn't it over flowing?"
"No anymore, At the moment were over staff, so Hinageshi and I easily has the night off. That also why non of you detectives are flying all over the world, collecting souls." Botan replied.
"That was a nightmare." Yusuke muttered. "And it was so much more harder to control those stupid oars then actually summon them."
"You're just being silly, I had no trouble controlling it, in fact I found it very easy after a while." Yukina replied.
"I had no trouble," Kurama added, "Well, except for the first day"
"Hn" Hiei replied in agreement.
"You mean, only Yusuke and I had trouble with the oars?" Kuwabarra asked. They all nodded.
"So umm, how's the human world doing?" Hinageshi asked.
"Can I take your order?" the waiter asked. Everyone nodded.
"Caesar Salad" Kurama replied
"Caribbean Salad" Botan stated
"Fried Shrimp" Hinageshi said.
"Fried fish" Keiko replied.
"The bar-B -Q chicken" Kuwabarra stated.
"Ribs." Yusuke said.
"The bourbon Stake, Raw" Hiei replied.
"Alright." The waiter said as he disappeared.
"Well nothing new has happened in the human world. Same old, same old" Yusuke answered. "Which reminds me, Kurama, How's your human family? Have you told them?"
"They are doing fine. Actually, they know everything except, for the fact that I'm married. Truth be told, I'm sort of scared of how they will find that out." Kurama sighed.
"What do you mean?" Keiko asked.
"Well, they discovered I was a demon, by me fighting a demon, and transforming in front of them. They discovered I worked for Spirit World by fighting a demon, at a family dinner, which also resulted in the return of my old partner. So you can see why I'm worried about how they discover this secret." Kurama replied.
"Ouch, that's rough." Yusuke stated. "Wait, if they don't know your married, how would you explain this?"
"Well, I told them we were celebrating Hiei's and Hinageshi's wedding anniversary, Keiko and Yusuke's engagement, and Hiei not killing Kuwabarra. As well as Botan and my 1st dating anniversary." Kurama smirked. "which if you look at if is true"
"I guess your right" Keiko sighed.
"How about we do presents no, since there really isn't anything better to do." Hinageshi said.
"Anything better, or you wanting your present." Hiei asked
"The latter" Hinageshi smiled. Everyone laughed.
"Here then" Hiei tossed Hinageshi her present. Yusuke passed his to Keiko as if he didn't care. Kuwabarra thrust his out to Yukina, nervous as to what she would think of it. Kurama handed his gently to Botan.
Hinageshi opened her gift and gasped "Hiei…" Tears formed in her eyes. He had given her one of his tear gems.
"I wouldn't have given it to you if I knew you would cry" Hiei muttered uncomfortably.
"Oh Hiei!" Hinageshi said as she kissed him. When they broke apart Hiei was slightly red and was looking at the table.
Kurama coughed. "So whose next?"
"I will, My beautiful Yukina, open my gift." Kuwabarra stated. Yukina opened hers.
"It's beautiful." Yukina said as she gently touched one of the lips. Kuwabarra reached the end side of Hiei's glare.
"I'm next. I hope ya like it Keiko" Keiko opened her.
"Diamonds! Oh Thank you Yusuke." She kissed him. "They are so beautiful."
"I'm glad you like them." Yusuke smiled.
"My turn then." Kurama stated. "open it Botan." Botan smiled and opened hers. Inside she looked at the sheer beauty of the gift.
"Oh Kurama, It's beautiful" Botan stated "I love it" she kissed him.
A few minutes later
"there's a full moon outside isn't there?" Yusuke asked Hiei.
"Tomorrow night" Hiei replied
"That explains it"
the two finally parted.
"I guess Botan is the happiest of the four of us, especially after that kiss." Keiko stated. This caused everyone to laugh, except Hiei, Kurama and Botan. The couple just blushed while Hiei just smirked.
"Now us guys, so whatch get us?" Yusuke asked
"Here" Keiko said as she passed him a small box. "I hope you like it." Yusuke opened his gift. He found a locket. Opening it he found a picture of Keiko and him on their honeymoon. They had their arms around each other and were laughing.
"Thank you Keiko, I love it"
"It's made of a very strong metal, so it should withstand punches and attacks so you can wear it in battles and fight and…" Keiko explained before she was stopped by Yusuke kissing her.
"Here Kazuma. I hope you like it…" Kuwabarra opened his gift. "I give them to those who I hold close to my heart."
"Thank you, Yukina. I love it. I so happy you think I'm worthy of one of your tears." He said as he gave her a peck on the check.
"Here you go Kurama." Botan passed him the gifts. "I remember you wanted to read them." She said as he saw the book " And then I got Hiei to get the seeds from the Makai" She continued as he saw the seeds.
"I love them. Thank you Botan" he said as he kissed her.
Few minutes later.
"We really need to have them go last, or not kiss." Yusuke stated. The group nodded in response.
The couple in question parted.
"Now Hiei. Here's your gift. I got into some trouble. Baka sale's person." She summoned his gift, while she murmured the final part. "I know you broke your last one and I figured you could use it." Hiei grabbed the gift and unwrapped it. He found a katana, the blade was sharp and it was beautifully built.
"Thank you Hinageshi" Hiei replied mildly as he made it disappear. "I really appreciate it."
"Hey shrimp, where did that sword go?" Kuwabarra asked.
"I made it disappear. I believe it's illegal to have a weapon in a restaurant." Hiei replied. "Baka"
Just as he finished, their food arrived. They are their food and talked about nonsense, afterwards they paid and left. Hinageshi barely had time to say goodbye before Hiei grabbed her and disappeared. Kurama and Botan said their good-byes and went home.
When they arrived at the driveway they noted the light still on in the house.
"They must be waiting for me." Kurama sighed.
"I'll go through the window." Botan said as they got out. She flew up to the window as Kurama walked inside.
"Hello everyone." Kurama greeted.
"Hey Shuuichi" His mother replied worried.
"How was your night?" Kazuya asked, worry evident in his voice.
"Fine?" Kurama replied suspiciously. "But why are you so worried?"
"Is it that obvious?" Shiori asked
"Yeah" Kurama answered
"Told you he'd be able to tell." Shuiichi answered.
"Oh hush. Kurama, we'll tell you in the morning alright?" Shiori asked.
"Alright then, I'm off to bed. Okay."
"Alright, sweet dreams" Shiori said
"Good night" Kurama said as he made his way upstairs. When he entered his room he embraced Botan. "Did you enjoy your night?"
"Yes, it's the best Wedding anniversary I've ever had." Botan smile.
"Well then, let's make it an annual thing okay?" Kurama proposed.
"Alright. I love you Kurama." Botan murmured.
"And I you, Botan, and I you."
