Okay, to clear up some things, Yusuke is nineteen because I wasn't about to
hook up a fourteen-year-old boy with two very old demons. Yuck. He's still
in high school though because, let's face it, he probably doesn't show up
enough to pass. Kurama's human form is seventeen or eighteen, also still in
school. He sees his mother regularly, but doesn't live with her. I know
about Yusuke being a demon, but since all I know about it comes from
webpages and I have my own plans, I'm changing some stuff. No one knows
about it yet, or his father, but he's going to become a full demon
eventually. He's also going to look different in his demon form, and be a
different type, because his real form isn't pretty enough for me,
personally. It'll all be okay, trust me. I use it for some humor. Also,
here's the reason I've decided to make this yaoi. As far as I know, Kurama
and Hiei's relationship is not official in the anime or manga, just hinted
at, but I can't picture them not together. As for Yusuke, well, let's just
say that during the tournament, it looked to me like Kurama was interested.
Oh, and one more thing. I thought it would be funny if Hiei and Kurama had
some secret obsession that no one knew about. So, Hiei really likes to
cook, and elegant, beautiful, perfect Kurama loves cars. Just thought I'd
let ya' know.
The dividers I put up to separate the scenes aren't showing up. I'll continue to experiment with different things, just bear with me. ~
"Sorry that took so long." Yusuke said with a very self-satisfied smile as he exited the small parlor. Kurama was thankful his human lover had chosen a place that seemed sanitary, whatever his mixed feelings about the boy's choice.
"What did you get?"
Yusuke touched the bandage, which peeked out from under the sleeve of his shirt and smirked. "You'll see. It's a surprise."
"You had your ear pierced as well." Kurama observed, tilting his head to the side.
"Yeah, I wanted more change. It's addicting. What do you think?"
Kurama continued to survey the slim silver ring in the boy's ear and found himself surprised that he actually did like it. "It suits you." He finally said.
"Yeah, but do you like it?"
"I do, actually, but that doesn't matter. Yusuke, I want you to do what you feel like, regardless to what you think I might want. I want you to be my lover, not my bitch."
Yusuke gave a start of surprise. "Language, Kurama." He mock-scolded, unable to hide his surprise, or amusement. He observed the slightly taller man a moment before giving a laugh. "You just keep on surprising me, you know that?" He asked as they began to walk.
Kurama smiled slightly, placing his hands in his pockets. "There are many things one learns about another when their lives become connected." He informed him calmly.
Yusuke blinked. "Yeah, okay. Whatever. So, where we goin' next?"
"The grocery store." ~
"Uh, Kurama? Why're we buyin' so much ice cream?" Yusuke asked, feeling the stares of other customers. They had two grocery carts; one filled with regular groceries, the other with ice cream. Nothing but ice cream.
"Hiei."
"And all the fresh stuff? You do know that vegetables come in cans, right?"
"Ingredients are needed for cooking, Yusuke." He answered with calm patience. "As I understand it, things taste best when fresh." Kurama paused to pick out some shampoo. He sounded amused, but then again, it was hard to tell with him.
Yusuke thoughtfully picked up a jar of hair gel. "You mind if I get some of this? Mine's all back home."
"Help yourself. Although, personally," Kurama cast a smile at him. A real smile. "I prefer you without it."
As Kurama turned away, Yusuke quietly put the hair get back. He smiled to himself, eyes on the man who, incredibly enough, he was beginning to care so much for after merely two days. He only allowed himself a moment for that thought, before hurrying to catch up.
"You know, Wal-Mart seems kind of dull for you, Kurama." Yusuke informed him as he reached his side. "You seem too elegant for this place."
He gave another real smile. "I need to stop by the automotive department, and then we can go." He said quietly instead of answering, as if he didn't care about the compliment. But Yusuke thought he did, regardless. Maybe he was beginning to understand him. ~
"He seems to be excelling, finally coming into himself, don't you think? I've never seen him so comfortable. He's really thriving."
Hiei snorted contemptuously, indulging himself in his great, and secret, passion in life - cooking. "Must we talk about the detective?" He demanded in irritation, sprinkling some garlic over the ingredients in the frying pan.
Kurama stood from his seat at the table, coming to the stove to carefully wrap his arms around Hiei and ignoring the way the smaller demon froze. "I know I'm not being fair." He said quietly, frowning slightly. "And I know you don't believe in fate, so I won't give you that excuse. I haven't even considered that you might still be upset, it had been a month, after all. I thought everything was going comfortably."
"It is comfortable, damn it!" Hiei snapped.
"And you don't like that."
"No."
"You must learn to embrace change, Hiei. I know you like him, too." Hiei gave a jerk of surprise, but Kurama wouldn't let him go. "He likes you, too."
"Isn't that convenient for you." Hiei turned off the stove and took his pan off the hot eye. He scowled, not liking the tome of voice he had used when he knew Kurama was trying to help. He hesitated. "I.apologize.Kurama." He said with some difficulty.
Before the red haired demon would answer, Yusuke came bounding down the stairs, taking them two at a time. He jumped over the final three with a loud whoop, hurrying into the kitchen. "Kurama! Hiei! We got a mission! It's about time!" ~
Kuwabara looked uneasily at the note in his hand. It had frightened him to no end when a three-foot-tall vampire had leapt through his window and dropped it off with a cackle, but he wasn't about to give up a mission just because the messenger had freaked him out. It had been so long; he was looking forward to some action.
An apple-green mustang pulled up and parked in a nearby parking lot, and three men climbed out. Two were familiar to Kuwabara, and their presence surprised him, along with the fact they had arrived in a car.
"I didn't know demons could drive."
Kurama cast an amused glance at the slightly shorter, dark haired boy beside him as Hiei shot Kuwabara a death glare.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded.
"I got a letter 'bout the mission." Kuwabara answered, shaking the crumpled note in the short demon's face. He smiled smugly. "I guess I'm the new detective since Urameshi went missing."
The strange boy with them gave a start, frowning at Kuwabara. At a closer look, there was something familiar about him, but the large human boy couldn't pinpoint what. He had certainly never met anyone who looked like him. He was of average height, just a little bit shorter than Kurama with brown eyes. His black hair nearly reached his shoulders and was pulled back at the nape of the neck into a very short little ponytail. One of his ears was pierced, and he wore a pair of baggy silk black pants, Chinese shoes, and a sleeveless black Chinese shirt. Around his left arm was a tattoo of a vine with leaves, small white flowers, and, on second inspection, thorns.
Kuwabara pulled his eyes away, frowning suspiciously at Hiei - he really hated that guy. "But what are you all doin' here?" He asked. "And who's the new guy?"
"We were invited as well." Hiei spat, hands stuffed into his pockets. "And as for the other."
"If Kuwabara wants to be an idiot, it's his own problem." The new guy interrupted in Yusuke's voice.
"URAMESHI?" Kuwabara leapt back. "What in hell happened to you?" He shook his head furiously. "Nevermind that, where have you been? No, scratch that, if you're here, than why did they call me?"
"We decided to keep the old team together." Botan's voice answered lightly as she stepped out from a dark alley. "You four work well together, and this is an important mission."
"Well, you gonna' spill it, or we just gonna' stand around here all day?" Yusuke demanded coolly, placing his hands in his pockets.
Kuwabara gave a start of surprise. There were more changes to his old rival than just the obvious. He wasn't as scrawny as he used to be, and he had more color in his face. But it was more than that. He seemed to have more control of his emotions than before. Wherever he had been, he had definitely been spending way too much time with Hiei and Kurama.
Botan blinked, noticing his change for the first time. "Wow, you look really good, Yusuke." She blushed lightly and began to babble. "I was a little worried when you disappeared. Luckily, Koenma was able to borrow his father's trackers to find you!" She laughed.
Yusuke's answering laugh held little warmth. "You mean that little vampire freak? I'll make sure you know where I am from now on, just promise never to send that creep after me again. I was getting out of the shower, and he handed me a towel. Pretty scary. I thought it was Hiei at first."
Botan tilted her head to the side, watching him, as everyone ignored Hiei's growl. "Still," She said finally, embarrasment gone. "You do look good."
"I know."
"What happened?"
The old Yusuke would have been insulted. The new one merely smirked and changed the subject. Strangely enough, Kurama looked very amused, and Hiei's angry growls had stopped. "So, what's the mission?"
