Chapter 4
Kazuma slowly opened one eye; when he didn't recognise his surroundings he slid open the other. He noticed a lump in the middle of the room, was that a person? Suddenly he remembered, he flushed, a little embarrassed. Then he got an evil smirk on his face.
Kuwabara was sure not to make any sound as he slithered his way over to where Yusuke was sleeping on the cold, hard, wooden floor. He looked very devious and if Yusuke had been looking he probably would of already been out the door.
Before Kuwabara could execute his attack on the sleeping form he saw an orange furball fly at him from the corner of his eye. His yelp was cut short as Eikichi buried her claws in his arm and climbed onto his shoulder all in the space of a few seconds. Kazuma's teeth were clenched. How come no matter what he did, what he told her, Eikichi always missed the fact that this HURT. He wasn't a scratch post. He sweat dropped and nearly fell over as Eikichi started licking his face.
Finally he composed himself and got back to task at hand. He turned into a devious madman once again. Now what could he do? Water? Nah, too typical. Feathers and honey? That would be great but he didn't want Yusuke to wake up before he got back with the supplies. Then he remembered something that had always irked him. Whenever Eikichi was trying to wake him up she'd always poke him with that little wet nose of hers. It bugged him so much, he didn't want any kitten snot, well it wasn't really about that, he just didn't like little cold, wet thing nudging him when he'd try to sleep.
"Eikichi, I got a job for you...."
He grabbed Eikichi from his shoulder (a painful extraction) and placed her next to Yususke's head. Kuwabara chuckled evilly. He took Eikichi and rubbed her nose against Yusuke's cheek. His brow furrowed and he shifted positions. Kuwabara did it again. Yusuke swatted at the nothingness in the air. Kuwabara was pleased when he put Eikichi's nose once again against Yusuke's head and she started licking him. Yusuke murmured and looked uncomfortable and soon Kuwabara could no longer hold in his laughter.
"Wah~" Urameshi said trying to spring up into a fighting stance. Kuwabara tried to step away and look innocent but his attempts were spoiled ironically by Yusuke's blanket. Yusuke had kicked it off most of his body so it was now only tangled in his feet. When Yusuke sprang up the blanket hindered him and brought him down. Unfortunately for Kuwabara he was also standing on the blanket and went down with it too.
Yusuke's mom burst in his room, hearing a loud thump, to find a previously giggly boy and her still sleepy son entangled on the floor. She blanched.
"Uh..."
"Ma?"
Yusuke said as he and Kuwabara continued to try and extract themselves from each other and the blanket.
Yusuke's mom stood dazed.
"Right well, I'll just go...do something.....work. I'll see you....later." She said as she exited the room looking a little embarassed.
"Er, sorry, I....fell." Kuwabara said innocently.
Yusuke, still not in on Kazuma's little wake up call, wiped his face.
"Eww, my face is wet."
Kuwabara started laughing.
"Hey! That's not funny, it's gross!"
"Oh, don't worry, Eikichi does it to me all the time. She's my own special little alarm clock."
"But I'm still tired! I want to sleep! I don't need an alarm clock!"
"Oh, don't be lazy! Do something, at least go shower."
"You go shower!"
"No, you!"
"NO, you!"
"NO, YOU!"
"NOOOO, YOU!"
"FINE."
"Fine."
Kuwabara paused, "I'm not showering."
"I don't care. Let me SLEEP!!!!!"
"Get up, Lazy Bones."
"Ugh, it's too early."
"I swear you better get up right now or I will poke you until you do."
"Don't you ever SHUT UP!" Yelled an irritated Yusuke as he threw his pillow which landed squarely in Kuwabara's face. Kuwabara glared at Yusuke and threw it back at him, but alas, he missed.
"Fine, I'll get up."
"Finally! Thank you."
Yusuke was grabbing cereal from the cupboard and Kuwabara was stroking Ekichi at the table. Yusuke lazily grabbed two bowls and served himself and Kuwabara. Kazuma practically inhaled it, considering he hadn't ate in a while. He was hungry yesterday but vouched for sleep instead. Their reverie was broken by a phone ring.
"Hewo?" Answered Yusuke, mouth still stuffed with cereal. He swallowed. He walked over to the table and sat down then turned to Kazuma.
"Hey, Kuwabara, it's your sister."
Kazuma paled but shakily grabbed the pale yellow phone, Yusuke studying him every bit of the way taking note of his shaking hands and deathly pallor.
Kazuma winced as his sister screamed in his ear.
"Get over here NOW!"
"I can't now Shizuru."
"I don't care what you have to do to get over here, just do it."
"like I said, I can't. First I've got to drop off Eikichi at my friends."
"What?"
That caught her attention, but unfortunately only for a little while.
"I am going to come over there right now and get you."
"It's seven in the morning could you at least wait until noon."
She continued yelling at him and he hung up the phone. He loved his sister and she loved him. He knew how much this meant to her, but she didn't know the half of it. She'd get over it. They usually never had any serious fights and it made him feel weird.
"Yo Kuwabara, what was that about?"
"Nothing, I better go home."
"What were you saying about Eikichi?"
"I...I'm giving her away."
"What?! Is this the same Kuwabara who beat up a rival gang almost by himself for that kitten?"
"I'm not allowed, okay? I just want to find her a good home before I go home."
"But-"
"I have to go, okay?"
"I'm just trying to help, okay? Geez, won't you listen for a minute? If you want I can find Eikichi a home, which can also be temporary if need be, in fact I already have the person in mind."
".......okay."
"Oh, just give her here, you better go meet up with your sister. She sounds on the verge of murder."
"Thanks Urameshi."
"What? that's all I get?"
"Oh, get over yourself."
"Tell me how is goes!" Yusuke shouted over his shoulder at Kuwabara's retreating form. Now kitty, you are going to love who you get to stay with."
It meowed and stretched it's paw out toward the door.
"Don't worry, he'll be back for you. In the mean time I want to introduce you to your new host for the next few days. His name is Hiei."
