Hello world! I'm grounded for another month, on account of one (only one) D+ on my report card, so I have to suffer through a bit more. But one whole week will be taken up by camp, so then I'll only have to wait one more. Yay! Thanks to Nissi for taking the time to write this all up and post for me, and I hope you guys enjoyed the link to her singing. I blackmailed her for that. Hahaha. Ja ne!

Disclaimer: (sigh) I don't own anyone or anything from Yu Yu Hakusho, as much as I would love to. T.T

Chapter Fifteen

"Who's presenting today?"

The class groans as Ms. Reeves reaches into her pocket to pull out a stick. The name reads: Vanessa. Olivia pats her friend on the back. It's fifth period English and the class is presenting their poems in front of the class and poor, unsuspecting Vanessa is first.

"Ms. Reeves?"

The intercom cackles suddenly to life, causing everyone to jump.

"Yes?"

"Can you please send Vanessa Shank and Olivia Ellery down to the office for early dismissal?"

"I can."

"Thank you."

YES!

Olivia winces as she hears Vanessa shouting—very loudly—in her head. Ah, Vanessa. Take it down a notch.

I'M FREE!

Vanessa!

The two hurry out of class just as Ms. Reeves calls to them that they still will present next class. They slap each other high fives and mentally bow down in unlimited thanks to God (and Kurama) for timing their doctor's appointments so beautifully.

"Hello, girls," Kurama greets them as they prance down to the office.

"Thank you!" Vanessa drops to her knees. "You saved me!"

"And me," Olivia adds, "though I have a bit more self control and you won't see me dropping to my knees."

"Shizuru will be driving you to your appointment today."

A girl of about twenty comes into view, a smothered cigarette in her hand. "Hey."

Vanessa and Olivia gap. The girl pushes back her brown hair and smiles. She looks like she could incapacitate us with one whack…cool.

§§§

"Hey Shizuru, don't mind me if I hide a little. Last time I was here I was stealing anesthetic."

Olivia bows her head as a very familiar looking janitor walks by. Vanessa holds her head high, knowing that none will recognize her as she was in dog form when they were last there.

"I was biting people."

"You two are pretty daring. So how'd a cool girl like you get stuck with my baby bro?"

Twitch. Olivia moves aside instinctively as Vanessa's eyes fill with fire and glow. "I'm not with him."

"Yes you are," Olivia sings. ♫ (a/n: The alt button rocks )

"NO I'M NOT!"

"Lalala, yes you are, lalala, yes you are!"

Shizuru drags them off to the waiting room and clamps her hands over their mouths. Forcing them into two chairs in the front, she marches to the counter to check them in. Almost immediately after, a nurse waltzes in.

"Ellery, Olivia?"

"That's me!"

"Come with me then."

Olivia waves good-bye and follows the nurse into the room.

"You know…you look familiar."

A wave of panic overtakes Olivia, but she chokes it down, "Um…this is the first time I've been here."

Glancing around in her panic, the doctor's tools seem magnified tenfold. She sees every pointy needle, shining and sparkling.

"Oh?"

"Yes. See, my family died a while back and so I moved here."

"Oh you poor child."

"It's okay. I've got my friends and a nice guy to take care of…me…"

She pauses before the last sentence as she sees a familiar face in the window. Yusuke you little… His face disappears and Olivia clenches her teeth and sits through the nurse's usual game of questions and answers.

"Doctor will be with you shortly."

"K."

Vanessa walks by just as the nurse exits. "Pst!"

"…hi!"

The two stick their tongues out at each other before Vanessa walks away with her nurse. Minutes pass, and soon a short doctor with gloves and a mask on.

"Hello, Ms. Ellery."

"…Doctor?

"Hm?"

"You…never mind."

The Doctor grins beneath his mask, "Call me Dr. U, okay? Now open wide."

Dr. U sticks a tongue depressor on Olivia's tongue, shoving it further and further down her throat until she chokes, "Hey, what kind of doctor are you?"

"I'm not!"

Dr. U rips off his mask and pulls the hair net off his head. Brown eyes shine at her, laughingly. She pales. "Y-Yusuke…"

In the adjoining room, Vanessa shrieks.

"Lemme guess—Kuwabara?"

"What's going on in here?"

The real doctor enters, a frown plastered on his face. Yusuke blinks, grabs Olivia, and hugs her. She gasps.

"Ach! Bitte schon (1), Olivia. You have helped my family so much, it's the least I can do!"

"Eh?"

"Guten tag (2)!" Yusuke pounces on the doctor, shaking his hand furiously.

"Well hello. Friend of Olivia's?"

"Oui(3)."

"Well Olivia has to finish her appointment but you can talk all you want after."

Yusuke sits cross legged on the floor, looking up at Olivia. The doctor smiles happily and snaps on some gloves. He then proceeds to poke and prod in the normal way that doctors do, questioning while he does so.

30 minutes later

"Alright Olivia, you may go."

"Thanks."

Olivia walks out with Yusuke, Vanessa, and Kuwabara joining them in the hall. Shizuru is not in the waiting room, which indicates to the two that they will be walking back to school. They grab a hot chocolate before walking out.

"So…didn't know you spoke German and French, Yusuke," Olivia grins slyly at him. He stares at her.

"French?"

"Oui is French, Yusuke."

"And here I thought I was speaking Spanish," he laughs. Olivia sweat-drops.

Vanessa licks the chocolate off her lip, glaring up at Kuwabara. Olivia lays her hand on Vanessa's shoulder, repressing her.

"We've got a possible bad guy."

"Oh good," Olivia slurps, "when do we leave?"

"You aren't going anywhere," Kuwabara pokes them gently, preparing quickly for an outburst by his charge.

Vanessa sends out several mega-death glares to her beloved Kuwabara, preparing to go all out to get her way. But at that moment, a wicked thought enters Olivia's mind, and she stops Vanessa from butchering the two alive.

"We understand. For our own protection thing, right?"

"Yeah," Yusuke glances skyward.

"By the way, Vanessa," Kuwabara smiles. "I've got something for you."

"GIVE!"

From behind his back, Kuwabara pulls out an Inuyasha plushie. Vanessa squeals with happiness and snatches he doll away, squeezing it furiously. It won't last long.

Don't get too excited Vanessa—he's trying to buy you.

It's working.

I have a plan. We're going to call in the master.

You mean…

Yes…the master.

Who is the master? Hahaha, only I know. Well…that's wrong. Anyways: props to Vanessa for the plushie idea. Gosh, she's been begging me for one forever. And I finally fulfilled her wish, even if it was given to her by Kuwabara. Hope you enjoyed the chapter, guys. I did. Wait till you hear my idea. (evil laughter) Ja ne!
