When Kurama got to the mall he went to the food court. He was eating his pizza on a bench when he heard, "Hey redhead!" Kurama turned around and saw a man with a large group of girls following him.
"Hey, redhead you see these sexy young ladies? Well, they were wondering if they could play with your hair." "Who are they? And who are you?" "Oh, there my hoes!" The man smiled. Kurama looked at the man and asked what a hoe was.
The man sweat dropped, saying, "Yeah, um… well… they're…my… friends. That's it. They're my friends." Kurama looked at the man and stood up. "Well, I'm sorry for your timing. But I take my leave now." Kurama smiled and left the mall.
Exiting the building, Kurama saw Hiei turn a corner. Kurama ran up to him and said, "hey Hiei… What's up with your hair?" Hiei turned around and glared at Kurama. "Shut up. It was a cat." At this, Kurama was confused. "A cat? Oh… oh!… This cat must have been named Botan."
Hiei glared a Kurama. "No! It was a cat! A normal cat!" Kurama chuckled, "Honestly Hiei. I thought you were stronger than an average cat." Hiei was about ready to attack Kurama. "You know damn well that I'm still on probation. If I harm any ningens my probation will be extended even longer. Why the hell would I want to have to take orders from that damn baby for longer than I have too!"
Kurama started to laugh, "Ha, ha! Well, what ever my little hoe. Your not going to tell me what really happened anyways. Bye." Kurama walked away laughing. Hiei looked a Kurama walking away with a confused look on his face. "Little hoe? I'm not little! And what the hell is a hoe!" Some lady heard Hiei and gasped. Hiei looked at the lady and glared at her. Then he ran off down the street.
During that time, Keiko was standing in front of a bathroom mirror at Yusuke's house. Yusuke was lying on the couch with a satisfied look on his face. "So, Yusuke, why where you beating up Kuwabara?" "Huh?" answered Yusuke not expecting that to come up. "I said, why where you being mean to Kuwabara? He was just trying to be nice." Keiko exclaimed a little annoyed that Yusuke wasn't listening.
"He was asking for it. That's all. Don't worry about it. But Keiko, when are you going to put back on that outfit you bought?" Yusuke said hoping that the subject would change. "I want to know why. And don't change the subject." "He was hitting on you!" Yusuke snapped. "I know that! But I want to know why!" Keiko snapped back.
"I don't know." "Or was it that you were jealous?" Keiko joked. "No!" Yusuke yelled. Keiko just stood there looking at Yusuke then busted out laughing. "Keiko! That's not funny!" Yusuke yelled. "Oh, yes it is… You getting worked up over Kuwabara for that reason is very funny!" "No it's not. I didn't want him drooling over you like that." "Oh, you don't have to worry. I mean he's WAY uglier than you." Keiko laughed. "What! Are you calling me ugly!"
Yusuke said in shock. "No! I just meant that he is uglier than you!" "That's calling me ugly!"
"Hey hoes. What's with the loud voices? I could here you outside the building. I highly doubt that you need to yell that loud Yusuke, especially to a lady such as Keiko." Yusuke looked at Kurama in utter confusion.
"What did you say?" Keiko looked relieved, "Kurama help me. Yusuke thinks I called him ugly when I didn't." Kurama sighs, "exactly what did you say Keiko?" "Well, I said, 'you don't have to worry I mean, he's uglier than you.' That's what I said.
Yusuke, not hearing a word that was said after Kurama first spoke, look dumbfounded. Kurama smiles, "Well, I see why Yusuke is so mad. But you really did call him ugly." Keiko blushed and looked at Yusuke, "Oh Yusuke, I'm sorry. I guess I didn't realize what I said." Keiko looked at Yusuke but he was looking at Kurama with a funny look on his face.
Kurama blinked and said, "Yusuke? What's wrong?" "I'm gonna go, before Yusuke gets mad at me again for saying something I shouldn't or don't mean to. Goodbye Kurama, Yusuke." "Bye Keiko." Keiko looked at Yusuke, who was still looking at Kurama with a funny look. She sighs and then leaves.
Kurama looks at Yusuke and says, "Yusuke? Are you all right? What's the matter with you? You didn't even say goodbye to Keiko. Are you really that mad because she called you ugly without realizing it?"
Yusuke blinked, "What did you say?" Kurama looked at Yusuke. "Yusuke?" Yusuke looked back at Kurama, "Did you just call us hoes?" Kurama blinked. "…? Doesn't it mean friend?" Yusuke shook his head, "No… who told you that?" "Some guy at the mall." Kurama answered.
Yusuke sighed, "You really shouldn't listen to everything some stranger tells you. Well, just call Hiei that…okay!" Kurama laughed, "I would some what make sense to call him that." Yusuke starts to laugh as well. All of a sudden, someone said, "Hello Yusuke, Kurama."
Yusuke was surprised enough to yell, "Gah! Damn you Koenma!" "Hello Koenma." "You need to stop doing that Koenma!" "Sorry Yusuke. I thought you were used to me doing that."
But enough of that, I'm looking for Botan. She hasn't been at work lately… Have you seen her?" "No, but Hiei was with her last time I knew." "Oh, great…if they're… never mind. Bye!" Koenma vanished. "Well, that was weird!"
"What's weird?" Keiko asked. "Oh, Botan seems to be missing." Yusuke looks at Keiko with a weird look on his face. Keiko looks back at Yusuke and smiles. Yusuke cheers up seeing Keiko smile at him. Keiko blinks and says, "well, every time I ask Botan to come with me to the mall she says that she's too busy." Kurama looks up at the sealing and says, "Have you noticed that Botan is almost always with Hiei?"
Keiko looks at Yusuke, "have you noticed that too Yusuke?" Yusuke seemed to shrink when he heard this. "Um…no…But I have noticed that Botan has gotten a little round." "Yusuke! That's mean!" Keiko yelled. "The truth hurts Keiko." "That's not the point. That was still mean." Keiko pouted. "Well, what ever I'm going to go for a walk. Lock the doors if you leave."
Kurama sighs, "I guess I'll stay here with you." Keiko blinked, "you don't have other things to do?" Kurama sighed, "Nope. I've already finished all my work and I'm too far ahead in class so there's no hope there. What about you." Keiko sweat drops, "I'm as far as I need to be. Anyways, help yourself to anything you want. I'm going to the mall for awhile."
Kurama smiled, "your going to return those cloths aren't you?" Keiko blushes, "please don't tell Yusuke. I just don't feel comfortable in them." Kurama, "your secret is safe with me. Don't worry. I'll cover for you if he comes back too soon." Keiko hugs Kurama, "Thanks Kurama. See ya." "Bye." O.O
When Yusuke was walking he spotted Hiei walking in the shadows…again…O.O "Yo, Hiei."
Hiei turned as if he knew Yusuke was going to say something. "Hiei, have you seen Botan?" "No…why?" "Koenma is looking for her." "Good luck" Hiei coldly answered. "Well…I was also…wondering if the rumors were true" "What rumors?" "You know…" "No…I don't." Hiei spoke very annoyed. "The ones with Botan"
Hiei just turned and started to walk away. "So…it is true!" "No it is not, and who ever started that rumor I am going to find and KILL." Hiei smirked, "Aww, are you mad?" Yusuke laughed. "Nope…Happy." "Huh?" Yusuke blurted. "Why?"
"Because who ever started that rumor gave me a reason to kill again." "Uhh.. Yeah --()" Hiei disappeared when Yusuke looked back up. Yusuke decided to return home and warn Kurama about Hiei.
When he got there he noticed that Keiko wasn't there. "Hey, Kurama, where's Keiko?" "Oh, she said that she was going to the mall for a few hours." Yusuke smiles and throws his arms into the air. "Yes!" Yusuke yelled, relieved that he would get some free time without her nagging.
