Disclaimer: I am too heart broken to say this, my feeble heart might just
break in two if I have to bear this news.
Hiei: In that case... You don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Leiko: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Falls over clutching heart*
Mizuna: Well, that was fun...
Hiei: Hn.
*Hiei and Mizuna walk away to Kami knows where*
Kashaku: Are you dead?
Kin: YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE DEAD!!!!
Youko: I didn't know you cared...
Kin: I don't... I just want her to get her lazy ass up and work on her fics.
Yusuke: Just start it without her, she's dead, she won't mind.
*Kin shrugs*
Kin: 'K. And, since Leiko is currently dead and can't do anything about this... I'm making this chapter focus on me!
*Mizuna pops in*
Mizuna: You're not going to like what's going to happen if you do that.
Kin: Oh please!!! You're just jealous because it's not focusing on you!!!
*Mizuna shrugs and leaves again*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kin watched her blue-haired sister leave the room before turning back to the others. "Okay, her rules are... 1) Touch anything else in her room, she kills you. 2) Get fingerprints on the screen, she kills you. 3) Get anything on her computer, carpet or anything else, and she kills you. 4) Look at anything other than what she assigns you, she kills you. And lastly... 5) You break or hurt her computer in any way and-"
Here Yusuke broke in. "Lemme guess, she kills you?" He asked in a sarcastic tone.
Kin gave him a deadpan look. "No, she disembowels you, tears out your guts and feeds them to you, then she will rip out your spine and beat you with it. Okay, any questions?"
Yusuke looked a bit sick at her rather explicit explanation, Kashaku, who already knew the rules, was off in her own little world that she liked to visit often and then we have Youko. Youko, who apparently didn't care about the rules was looking past her at something.
Kin turned around to see what he was so fascinated with. She frowned, it was a mirror... "I don't get it..." She muttered under her breath so quietly that even Youko with his acute hearing wouldn't understand. Then it all clicked. The mirror, was behind her, and that mirror reflected her backside. And we all know what that means don't we? Yup, he was staring at her butt.
"YOU PERVERTED WEASEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kin cried launching herself at the silver haired boy.
Youko caught her in mid-air and pinned her arms to her sides. "Actually, I'm a fox." He whispered huskily in her ear. Kin blushed at his close proximity and quickly broke free.
"Um... uh..." Kin growled in her mind and tried desperately to regain her composure. "Let's get to work, if we're not done by the time Mizuna comes back, well... Basically we're screwed... Well, you're screwed, I'm safe because I'm her sister."
Yusuke gulped slightly, sure he was strong, but who would want to face someone like Mizuna or Hiei when they're actually MAD!?! NOT HIM!!!
Youko nodded vaguely and pulled up Mizuna's chair sitting down in front of the super computer. He then closed his eyes and allowed Kurama to take over. Kurama scanned the list and began to compile addresses.
~*~
Kin yawned and stretched in the chair. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and looked at Kurama to see if he had finished. Instead of seeing a diligently working redheaded boy, she saw a snoring silver-haired one. Frowning she was about to poke him to death, or until he woke up, when she happened to glance at the screen.
Mailing completed.
Kin grinned, so the fox had finished their work. Kin x-ed out of the box and was about to shut off the computer when she saw that there was a Microsoft word that hadn't been closed. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she clicked on the document and began to read what was written.
It was the invitations...
Her golden eyes scanned the screen.
Dear Shishiwakamaru, We formally invite you to participate in the Triad Tournament. You and a 2 other teammates of your choosing shall fight in this tournament to win a grand prize of 500,000 yen and each member of the winning team shall also win a date with the one of the three rulers of the Forgotten Realms. We have only invited the best of the Makai to be in this tournament; therefore you there will only be three sets of matches for each team. The first of the matches shall be in the middle sister's element; fire. The second, should you make it this far, will be in the youngest sister's element of water. The last, and final round shall be in the eldest, sexiest, hottest, finest sister's element; lightning. After this battle, all the winners of this round will move on to the battle royal. There will be an equal amount of each of the elements; the winners of this battle shall be deemed the best fighters in the Makai.
Sincerely, Me, and if you make a move on Kin, I will hunt you down and kill you.
We hope you can make it.
Kin's eyebrow was twitching like mad, but she really didn't know whether to beat Youko upside the head for being a pervert, or to fall over laughing at his closing. She settled for both. She fell to the floor laughing, but grabbed Youko's sleeve and pulled him down with her.
Kin was now holding her stomach she was laughing so hard, and Youko... Well, Youko was lying next to her, half awake, still trying to figure out what was going on. Still not quite awake, he growled at the golden haired girl and tackled her, pinning her down beneath him.
"You-Youko! What do you think-" Kin was getting flustered again, but this time her face was even redder than before.
"Oh, so you think this is funny do you?" He asked smirking at her beet red face. She nodded silently from under him. "You wanna know what I think is funny?"
Kin shook her head, this wasn't working out the way she thought it would. Youko grinned at her before moving his hands down to her sides...
He then began to tickle her mercilessly. "You still think this is funny?" Kin managed to shake her head and yell "NO!!!" between her spurts of laughter. Youko kept his grin firmly in place throughout her entire torture. "Well that's too bad for you isn't it?"
Kin glared at him through her tears of laughter, and in a moment of insanity, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down closer to her in an effort to stop her ticklish torment. As it turned out... It worked pretty well, but not how she wanted it too.
She regained her blush as she saw Youko's mouth getting closer and closer to hers. His full lips ere now mere inches from her own. Kin closed her eyes in anticipation...
"Danielle..." Kin and Youko's heads jerked up, eyes searching frantically for the speaker.
When they saw that it was just Yusuke talking in his sleep, they both sweatdropped. Then Kin realized the position that they were in and shoved the Kitsune off of her. "Pervert..." She muttered half-heartedly while standing up.
(The end was near and she couldn't risk wasting time or they would all die a painful death. She needed some porridge, and fast.
"Get me some porridge," she said nobly.
The others looked at her with understanding. "I'll get the porridge," Yusuke said solemnly. "I know you'll make the right decision."
"Indeed." -CrimsonSash)
'I am going to murder Yusuke...' Youko was growling deep in his throat as he got up from the floor. He also had a VERY hard time not simply strangling Yusuke then and there. Luckily, Yusuke was saved from a very slow and painful death by a door slamming open.
Mizuna strolled into the room with her usual grace and dignity. "Are you finished?"
The door had woken everyone up and they all nodded.
"Good. Now get out of my room." She then stepped aside to allow them to get out the door.
Everyone walked past her and out the door quickly, all of them fearing her wrath. Youko was the last one out of her room, and she slammed the door shut when he was about halfway through making him jump foreword to avoid getting hit on the butt.
~*~
Kin yawned groggily and rolled out of bed... well, it was really more of a fall, but hey! She's out of her bed and that's what matters here. The golden Kitsune groaned from under the mass of covers.
"Why couldn't I have died or something yesterday!?!" She yelled throwing a mini-tantrum. She sighed and resigned herself to this horrible twist of fate.
Rising from her grave of covers, she wandered over to her bathroom, grabbing some random clothes as she went along.
When she was finished getting ready, she slid down the banister and into the kitchen. Grabbing a glass of juice and a stack of pancakes, she plopped down at the table and looked at her outfit to make sure that she didn't leave the house in a skirt or something.
A pair of hip-hugging baggy blue jeans covered Kin's long legs. Her chest was covered by a tight black tank top that showed of her toned midriff. 'Don't we have some sorta school uniform that I'm supposed to be wearing?' Then she remembered that she had fried it with electricity yesterday. 'I knew I shouldn't have used my clothes for target practice... Oh well.'
She inhaled her pancakes and grabbing a jacket, walked out the door. Only to walk back in and wait for her sisters.
After about... Oh, I'd say maybe 8 seconds of waiting she lost all of her small reserve of patience for the day. "KASHAKU!!! MIZUNA!!! GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF BED AND LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kin smirked in satisfaction when she heard an echoing thump followed by screams of invading potato chips. "KASHAKU I'M READY TO GO, SO YOU HAD BETTER BE READY AND DOWN HERE IN-"
Kin cut herself off here when she saw Kashaku falling down the stairs fully dressed and ready to go. Kashaku's choice of the morning was a pair of long black and pink striped stockings, over which she wore a pair of light blue jeans. To finish off her look she was wearing a pink shirt that read don't feed the squirrels in brown writing and had a picture of a squirrel saying "nuts!" on it. (A/N: Tee hee!!! I have that shirt!!!)
"Kin-chan, Mi-chan already went to school, and she told me to tell you that... uh... Don't tell me!"
"How could I? I don't know what she said!!!"
"Riiiiiiiiiight, anyways, she said... 'Next time you decide to use clothes for target practice, kindly leave her clothes OUT OF IT!!!' Yep, that's about it."
Kin nodded and led the way outside. "Motorcycles or-"
The Kitsune was cut off by a car honking. Her head snapped up and saw a grinning Youko staring at her from his silver convertible. 'Nice car... WAIT!!! WHAT'S HE DOING HERE!!!'
"Hey Kin! Ready to go to school?"
Kin stared at Youko. And stared and yup, you guessed it, stared at him. She then slowly turned around to face her sister. "Kashaku?" She asked in a voice that barely concealed her rage. "You didn't... Oh, I don't know, forget to tell me about something?"
Kashaku looked at her blankly, then her face changed to one of recognition. "Oh yeah...! I remember now! Um, Youko called and said that ya'll were going to start the dating thing today, and that he would pick you up in the morning to drive you to school."
Before Kin had the chance to murder her sister, Youko walked up beside her and slipped an arm around her waist. "We're going to be late if we don't leave now."
The golden Kitsune's eyebrow twitched ever so slightly as she removed his hand from around her waist. "Let's lay out some ground rules. You can carry my books to and from classes, you can buy me lunch and I suppose that you can even take me to school. But no touching, kissing or talking to me."
Youko chuckled lightly at her demands and put his arm back around her waist. "How about this, I do all the things you mention, but I touch you without being inappropriate, I kiss you on the cheek, I talk to you whenever I want, and I get to take you out everyday after school."
Kin glared at him, but decided to give in... just this once. Not that, not that she LIKED him or anything, she just didn't want to be late for class... Yeah, that's it, she didn't want to be late for class! "You're buying."
Youko grinned and kissed her on the cheek. "Of course!" Kin blushed when he kissed her, and being a bit on the dazed side, followed him without question to his car. Not that she had much of choice in the matter.
When they arrived at school, Youko got out first and opened the door for her like a real gentleman. He even held out his hand to help her out. "My lady?"
Kin grinned unwillingly at how polite he was being. "My lord." She took his hand and stepped out of the car taking his arm when it was offered.
A voice from behind the couple halted them in their noble quest to actually be on time for school. Not that either actually gave a damn, no matter what they said.
Kin rolled her eyes as they turned around, expecting to be one of Youko Kurama's many fans that would be bothering them throughout the course of their relationship. She was pleasantly surprised to see a tall brunette who didn't dress like a prep or a slut. She was even happier when she heard what the girl had to say.
"Hey Youko, sup?" The girl was wearing a simple yellow sweater and baggy blue jeans.
Youko smiled at her and high-fived her. "Shizure! I haven't seen you since your little brother fainted and you had to come pick him up!"
Shizure grinned at the memory. "Yeah, I literally had to 'pick him up' who knew my brother weighed so much anyway?"
Kin finally poked her 'boyfriend' to bring him back to the living world. He immediately snapped his attention to her. "Shizure, I'd like you to meet Kin, my drop-dead-gorgeous girlfriend. Kin, this is Shizure, Kuwabara's sister."
The golden-eyed girl stared at her. "Kuwabaka has a sister?"
Shizure laughed at Kin's little joke. "That's a good one! I gotta remember it!!! Anyways, ya'll are gonna be late so I'll just leave ya! Later Youko, Kin, have fun in school kiddies!!!" She called back sarcastically, only to mutter "Thank Kami I'm not in school anymore!" under her breath.
With a final wave Shizure hopped in her car and sped off, obviously thrilled to be leaving.
Youko shook his head. "Man, I forgot to ask her what she was doing here!" He ran a hand through his impeccable silver locks. "Ah well, guess I'll just find out later." He then steered Kin into the building and down the hall to their first period class.
The bell rang just as they had seated themselves. "Ah, for once I see that everyone is on time. It must be due to my excellent teaching skills." At their teacher's arrogance, Kashaku and Yusuke laughed out loud, Mizuna and Hiei scoffed and Kin and Youko coughed loudly.
The teacher glared at them before continuing. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," Insert yet another glare here, "We will be doing a project for the next two months on being parents. I will now assign you partners-"
Mizuna stared at him. "Isn't this history class?" Ok, now she was confused.
"Well-uh, yes, but you see... Since none of you took that class, we decided to incorperate it into this one. Along with this you will also have to research one couple and show whether or not they were good parents."
"That's stupid, just like you! No one can say whether or not someone was a good parent, that's a matter of opinion!!! How the hell did you get a teaching diploma anyway!?!"
The only sign that the teacher had heard Kin, was his VERY red face. "I shall now assign couples."
This was where Kin blocked the teacher out in favor of something more interesting, counting how many spots there were on the ceiling. She was up to 3,524 when she heard her name being called. "Kin Raikatuji and... Michael Tallinn."
Kin looked behind her at the jock she was supposed to work with. 'I thought he was still in intensive care... guess Mizuna's getting sloppy...' Then it registered in her mind. 'If he's out... then the rest of the team must be out... YES I GET TO BEAT UP THE FOOTBALL TEAM AFTER ALL!!!' Kin mentally began doing a victory dance in her head. Then it completely registered in her mind. 'Damn, there is no way in hell I'm working with that arrogant moron!!!'
She came back to reality just in time to hear the last of the pairs. "Mizuna Arishima and... Well, the only person who is left is Charlie Barton."
Mizuna stared at the teacher. "I'm sorry to inform you, but I am most assuredly NOT gay. And since you are to incompotent to pair us into agreeable pairs, I will be taking the liberty of choosing for myself." She scanned the room, the only boy she could tolerate was... "Hiei and I shall be partners."
"WHAT NO!!! ME AND HI-CHAN ARE PARTNERS!!!" Came a furious cry from the back of the classroom. It was that girl again... what was her name? Oh, well, it didn't matter.
"Ditto you pathetic wannabe teacher, I'm going to do this project with my girlfriend." Youko said possessively while slipping an arm around Kin's shoulder. She blushed slightly, but as much as she hated to admit it, he was her best choice.
The teacher opened his mouth to protest, but he was cut off yet again. "YOUKO HAS A GIRLFRIEND!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This time it wasn't one girl, it was all of them except for Kin, Kashaku and Mizuna.
The girls quickly calmed down and reassessed the situation. "It's ok girls, we still have Hiei-" She cut herself off when Hiei wrapped an arm around Mizuna. He didn't like her or anything, he just be dammed if those girls doubled their attention on him.
"Yusuke?" She said, almost desperately.
"Sorry girls! But Yusuke only has eyes for DANIELLE!!!" Youko yelled the last part, much to Yusuke's annoyance.
"Who the hell's Danielle!?!" The girls of the class yelled.
Yusuke cringed, he didn't want to deal with this. Youko however was thrilled! 'Payback is sweet!!!'
Before rabid fan girls could bother Yusuke further, the door slammed open revealing a petite girl of about 5'3. She had long jet-black hair with red streaks in it, her bangs went slightly past her turquoise blue eyes and a backwards baseball cap adorned her crown of mid-back length straight hair. She was wearing low rise black cargo pants that ended mid-calf, a double loop black belt and a blue off the shoulder long sleeved shirt with see- through sleeves that showed her stomach over which she wore a tight black tank top that ended two and a half inches about her belly button and black old-style ankle boots to finish off her look.
"Danielle!?!" Yusuke yelped in surprise. The girl turned her eyes to him and widened in recognition.
"YUSUKE!!!" She squelled happily, launching herself at Yusuke. They hugged for awhile until they Yusuke pulled away to ask her what she was doing there. By this time, the teacher had giving up on being listened to and was off in the teachers' lounge crying about his miserable life.
Kin smiled at them, they made the cutest couple. Then she slapped herself. 'Oh god, I'm turning into a-a... A GIRLY-GIRL!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-'
Her terrifying thought was cut off by Youko's chuckle. "I guess that I'll just have to get him back some other time, seeing as how this time didn't exactly work."
The bell rang and class let out. Youko walked Kin to the rest of her classes and bought her lunch from a nearby café. As it turned out, Kin actually liked having a boyfriend, not that she would ever admit it mind you, but still.
~*~
"I thought that today we could go to the skate park."
Kin stared at Youko. "You mean we're not going out someplace really fancy where you're going to try and woo me?"
Youko stared back. "No, you don't seem to like that kinda thing, and I know I don't, so I thought that this would be fun."
Kin grinned at him. 'This just keeps getting better and better.'
They ended up having a blast at the skate park, and Kin laughed and smiled more than she had ever done around a boy before. And, something that was totally knew to her, she didn't have to make any death threats while they were there. Youko was a perfect gentleman, so she didn't have to kill him, and Youko quickly silenced everyone who said anything against her with a glare. Which just so happened to rival her own. All in all, she had the time of her life.
"Bye Kin." Youko, still playing the part of a gentleman, had walked her to her door. He gave her a goodbye kiss on the cheek and walked away whistling happily to himself, a new spring in his step.
Kin blushed and watched him walk away, momentarily forgetting her usual tough-girl demeanor.
"Looks like someone had fun." Kin whirled around and faced her smirking sister. She grinned happily and nodded.
Mizuna smiled at her elder sister. 'It's about time she found someone that could make her happy.' Not that Mizuna could really talk, she didn't like to show her true self to anyone, none of them did, not after what had happened with Shino. But Mizuna was happy that her sister had given up on her boycott on boys. Kin and Kashaku had really been punishing themselves for her mistake, and she was happy that the burden was once again hers alone to carry.
Kin skipped into the house in an inexplicably good mood.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kin: I DID NOT SKIP!!!

Kashaku: I wanted to be with one of my bishis anyway!!! ^-^
Mizuna: Leiko... What is your sister doing?
*Leiko turns around*
Leiko: Yes... it's a sad story really. My sister has become obsessed with... Stevie Brock. Yes, the singer. *Dramatic pose* Now, instead of reading fics, she reads Stevie Brock facts... Instead of watching TV, she listens to his songs... Instead of looking at and/or drawing anime pics, she looks at pictures of Stevie Brock...
*Everyone in the room shudders*
Kashaku: Don't worry Leiko-chan! She'll get over it!
Leiko: Really?
Kin: No. We were just trying to make you feel better.
Mizuna: Read and Review.
Leiko: Buh-bye.
Hiei: In that case... You don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Leiko: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Falls over clutching heart*
Mizuna: Well, that was fun...

Kashaku: Are you dead?
Kin: YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE DEAD!!!!
Youko: I didn't know you cared...
Kin: I don't... I just want her to get her lazy ass up and work on her fics.
Yusuke: Just start it without her, she's dead, she won't mind.
*Kin shrugs*
Kin: 'K. And, since Leiko is currently dead and can't do anything about this... I'm making this chapter focus on me!
*Mizuna pops in*
Mizuna: You're not going to like what's going to happen if you do that.
Kin: Oh please!!! You're just jealous because it's not focusing on you!!!
*Mizuna shrugs and leaves again*

Kin watched her blue-haired sister leave the room before turning back to the others. "Okay, her rules are... 1) Touch anything else in her room, she kills you. 2) Get fingerprints on the screen, she kills you. 3) Get anything on her computer, carpet or anything else, and she kills you. 4) Look at anything other than what she assigns you, she kills you.

Here Yusuke broke in. "Lemme guess, she kills you?" He asked in a sarcastic tone.

Yusuke gulped slightly, sure he was strong, but who would want to face someone like Mizuna or Hiei when they're actually MAD!?! NOT HIM!!!
Youko nodded vaguely and pulled up Mizuna's chair sitting down in front of the super computer. He then closed his eyes and allowed Kurama to take over. Kurama scanned the list and began to compile addresses.

Kin's eyebrow was twitching like mad, but she really didn't know whether to beat Youko upside the head for being a pervert, or to fall over laughing at his closing. She settled for both. She fell to the floor laughing, but grabbed Youko's sleeve and pulled him down with her.

After about... Oh, I'd say maybe 8 seconds of waiting she lost all of her small reserve of patience for the day. "KASHAKU!!! MIZUNA!!! GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF BED AND LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kin smirked in satisfaction when she heard an echoing thump followed by screams of invading potato chips. "KASHAKU I'M READY TO GO, SO YOU HAD BETTER BE READY AND DOWN HERE IN-"
Kin cut herself off here when she saw Kashaku falling down the stairs fully dressed and ready to go. Kashaku's choice of the morning was a pair of long black and pink striped stockings, over which she wore a pair of light blue jeans. To finish off her look she was wearing a pink shirt that read don't feed the squirrels in brown writing and had a picture of a squirrel saying "nuts!" on it. (A/N: Tee hee!!! I have that shirt!!!)
"Kin-chan, Mi-chan already went to school, and she told me to tell you that... uh... Don't tell me!"
"How could I? I don't know what she said!!!"
"Riiiiiiiiiight, anyways, she said... 'Next time you decide to use clothes for target practice, kindly leave her clothes OUT OF IT!!!' Yep, that's about it."
Kin nodded and led the way outside. "Motorcycles or-"
The Kitsune was cut off by a car honking. Her head snapped up and saw a grinning Youko staring at her from his silver convertible. 'Nice car... WAIT!!! WHAT'S HE DOING HERE!!!'
"Hey Kin! Ready to go to school?"
Kin stared at Youko. And stared and yup, you guessed it, stared at him. She then slowly turned around to face her sister. "Kashaku?" She asked in a voice that barely concealed her rage. "You didn't... Oh, I don't know, forget to tell me about something?"
Kashaku looked at her blankly, then her face changed to one of recognition. "Oh yeah...! I remember now! Um, Youko called and said that ya'll were going to start the dating thing today, and that he would pick you up in the morning to drive you to school."
Before Kin had the chance to murder her sister, Youko walked up beside her and slipped an arm around her waist. "We're going to be late if we don't leave now."
The golden Kitsune's eyebrow twitched ever so slightly as she removed his hand from around her waist. "Let's lay out some ground rules. You can carry my books to and from classes, you can buy me lunch and I suppose that you can even take me to school. But no touching, kissing or talking to me."
Youko chuckled lightly at her demands and put his arm back around her waist. "How about this, I do all the things you mention, but I touch you without being inappropriate, I kiss you on the cheek, I talk to you whenever I want, and I get to take you out everyday after school."
Kin glared at him, but decided to give in... just this once. Not that, not that she LIKED him or anything, she just didn't want to be late for class... Yeah, that's it, she didn't want to be late for class! "You're buying."
Youko grinned and kissed her on the cheek. "Of course!" Kin blushed when he kissed her, and being a bit on the dazed side, followed him without question to his car. Not that she had much of choice in the matter.
When they arrived at school, Youko got out first and opened the door for her like a real gentleman. He even held out his hand to help her out. "My lady?"
Kin grinned unwillingly at how polite he was being. "My lord." She took his hand and stepped out of the car taking his arm when it was offered.
A voice from behind the couple halted them in their noble quest to actually be on time for school. Not that either actually gave a damn, no matter what they said.
Kin rolled her eyes as they turned around, expecting to be one of Youko Kurama's many fans that would be bothering them throughout the course of their relationship. She was pleasantly surprised to see a tall brunette who didn't dress like a prep or a slut. She was even happier when she heard what the girl had to say.
"Hey Youko, sup?" The girl was wearing a simple yellow sweater and baggy blue jeans.
Youko smiled at her and high-fived her. "Shizure! I haven't seen you since your little brother fainted and you had to come pick him up!"
Shizure grinned at the memory. "Yeah, I literally had to 'pick him up' who knew my brother weighed so much anyway?"
Kin finally poked her 'boyfriend' to bring him back to the living world. He immediately snapped his attention to her. "Shizure, I'd like you to meet Kin, my drop-dead-gorgeous girlfriend. Kin, this is Shizure, Kuwabara's sister."
The golden-eyed girl stared at her. "Kuwabaka has a sister?"
Shizure laughed at Kin's little joke. "That's a good one! I gotta remember it!!! Anyways, ya'll are gonna be late so I'll just leave ya! Later Youko, Kin, have fun in school kiddies!!!" She called back sarcastically, only to mutter "Thank Kami I'm not in school anymore!" under her breath.
With a final wave Shizure hopped in her car and sped off, obviously thrilled to be leaving.
Youko shook his head. "Man, I forgot to ask her what she was doing here!" He ran a hand through his impeccable silver locks. "Ah well, guess I'll just find out later." He then steered Kin into the building and down the hall to their first period class.
The bell rang just as they had seated themselves. "Ah, for once I see that everyone is on time. It must be due to my excellent teaching skills." At their teacher's arrogance, Kashaku and Yusuke laughed out loud, Mizuna and Hiei scoffed and Kin and Youko coughed loudly.
The teacher glared at them before continuing. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," Insert yet another glare here, "We will be doing a project for the next two months on being parents. I will now assign you partners-"
Mizuna stared at him. "Isn't this history class?" Ok, now she was confused.
"Well-uh, yes, but you see... Since none of you took that class, we decided to incorperate it into this one. Along with this you will also have to research one couple and show whether or not they were good parents."
"That's stupid, just like you! No one can say whether or not someone was a good parent, that's a matter of opinion!!! How the hell did you get a teaching diploma anyway!?!"
The only sign that the teacher had heard Kin, was his VERY red face. "I shall now assign couples."
This was where Kin blocked the teacher out in favor of something more interesting, counting how many spots there were on the ceiling. She was up to 3,524 when she heard her name being called. "Kin Raikatuji and... Michael Tallinn."
Kin looked behind her at the jock she was supposed to work with. 'I thought he was still in intensive care... guess Mizuna's getting sloppy...' Then it registered in her mind. 'If he's out... then the rest of the team must be out... YES I GET TO BEAT UP THE FOOTBALL TEAM AFTER ALL!!!' Kin mentally began doing a victory dance in her head. Then it completely registered in her mind. 'Damn, there is no way in hell I'm working with that arrogant moron!!!'
She came back to reality just in time to hear the last of the pairs. "Mizuna Arishima and... Well, the only person who is left is Charlie Barton."
Mizuna stared at the teacher. "I'm sorry to inform you, but I am most assuredly NOT gay. And since you are to incompotent to pair us into agreeable pairs, I will be taking the liberty of choosing for myself." She scanned the room, the only boy she could tolerate was... "Hiei and I shall be partners."
"WHAT NO!!! ME AND HI-CHAN ARE PARTNERS!!!" Came a furious cry from the back of the classroom. It was that girl again... what was her name? Oh, well, it didn't matter.
"Ditto you pathetic wannabe teacher, I'm going to do this project with my girlfriend." Youko said possessively while slipping an arm around Kin's shoulder. She blushed slightly, but as much as she hated to admit it, he was her best choice.
The teacher opened his mouth to protest, but he was cut off yet again. "YOUKO HAS A GIRLFRIEND!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This time it wasn't one girl, it was all of them except for Kin, Kashaku and Mizuna.
The girls quickly calmed down and reassessed the situation. "It's ok girls, we still have Hiei-" She cut herself off when Hiei wrapped an arm around Mizuna. He didn't like her or anything, he just be dammed if those girls doubled their attention on him.
"Yusuke?" She said, almost desperately.
"Sorry girls! But Yusuke only has eyes for DANIELLE!!!" Youko yelled the last part, much to Yusuke's annoyance.
"Who the hell's Danielle!?!" The girls of the class yelled.
Yusuke cringed, he didn't want to deal with this. Youko however was thrilled! 'Payback is sweet!!!'
Before rabid fan girls could bother Yusuke further, the door slammed open revealing a petite girl of about 5'3. She had long jet-black hair with red streaks in it, her bangs went slightly past her turquoise blue eyes and a backwards baseball cap adorned her crown of mid-back length straight hair. She was wearing low rise black cargo pants that ended mid-calf, a double loop black belt and a blue off the shoulder long sleeved shirt with see- through sleeves that showed her stomach over which she wore a tight black tank top that ended two and a half inches about her belly button and black old-style ankle boots to finish off her look.
"Danielle!?!" Yusuke yelped in surprise. The girl turned her eyes to him and widened in recognition.
"YUSUKE!!!" She squelled happily, launching herself at Yusuke. They hugged for awhile until they Yusuke pulled away to ask her what she was doing there. By this time, the teacher had giving up on being listened to and was off in the teachers' lounge crying about his miserable life.
Kin smiled at them, they made the cutest couple. Then she slapped herself. 'Oh god, I'm turning into a-a... A GIRLY-GIRL!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-'
Her terrifying thought was cut off by Youko's chuckle. "I guess that I'll just have to get him back some other time, seeing as how this time didn't exactly work."
The bell rang and class let out. Youko walked Kin to the rest of her classes and bought her lunch from a nearby café. As it turned out, Kin actually liked having a boyfriend, not that she would ever admit it mind you, but still.
~*~
"I thought that today we could go to the skate park."
Kin stared at Youko. "You mean we're not going out someplace really fancy where you're going to try and woo me?"
Youko stared back. "No, you don't seem to like that kinda thing, and I know I don't, so I thought that this would be fun."
Kin grinned at him. 'This just keeps getting better and better.'
They ended up having a blast at the skate park, and Kin laughed and smiled more than she had ever done around a boy before. And, something that was totally knew to her, she didn't have to make any death threats while they were there. Youko was a perfect gentleman, so she didn't have to kill him, and Youko quickly silenced everyone who said anything against her with a glare. Which just so happened to rival her own. All in all, she had the time of her life.
"Bye Kin." Youko, still playing the part of a gentleman, had walked her to her door. He gave her a goodbye kiss on the cheek and walked away whistling happily to himself, a new spring in his step.
Kin blushed and watched him walk away, momentarily forgetting her usual tough-girl demeanor.
"Looks like someone had fun." Kin whirled around and faced her smirking sister. She grinned happily and nodded.
Mizuna smiled at her elder sister. 'It's about time she found someone that could make her happy.' Not that Mizuna could really talk, she didn't like to show her true self to anyone, none of them did, not after what had happened with Shino. But Mizuna was happy that her sister had given up on her boycott on boys. Kin and Kashaku had really been punishing themselves for her mistake, and she was happy that the burden was once again hers alone to carry.
Kin skipped into the house in an inexplicably good mood.
