A/N: Okay, here is the next bit like I promised, I have been having some problems with this chapter so I hope it works!
The two teens walk into the living room and sit on the couch.
"Ask away, Urameshi!" Jin says with a grin turning to face his friend and crossing his legs.
"Are you sure?"
It was obvious that Yusuke was hesitant about this after all; he didn't want to seem rude by probing into Jin's personal life. The Irishman nods and Yusuke shifts in his seat awkwardly, maintaining his gaze on the floor. "When did you know that you were…uh, you know….gay?"
"At the Dark Tournament. I saw yeh an' me legs nearly turned to jelly on the spot!" Jin replies, smiling at his friend's embarrassment. "I tell yeh the truth! Then everythin' made sense when I thought bout me feelings and fir everythin' into place"
Yusuke's face flushed. He had turned his friend gay! "You mean I did that?"
"Sure did Urameshi!" The red head laughs, ears twitching happily.
"But…why do you, uh…like me that way?" the teen asks, cheeks burning. He couldn't stop himself! He wanted to know why Jin found him so desirable.
"What aint there to like, mate"
The demon smiles and crawls seductively on his hands and knees towards his friend. Yusuke freezes and watches as the wind master sits in his lap, one leg either side, straddling him.
"I really like yeh…" Jin whispers dangerously close to Yusuke's lips.
His breath felt warm against his face and the detective involuntarily closes his eyes. Leaning forward, the red head captures Yusuke's lips in a soft, gentle kiss, tongue sweeping slowly over his bottom lip. The body under him responds and hands come up to grip the wind master's hips.
Jin runs his fingers through Yusuke's gelled ebony hair before putting his hands on the back of the detectives head, pushing their lips together more firmly.
"Yusuke?"
Keiko's voice sounds from the hallway. Yusuke's eyes snap open only to meet Jin's. The wind master gives him one more delicate kiss before jumping onto the other side of the couch, just in time.
Keiko walks in, smiling upon seeing the pair. "There you are"
"Hey Keiko, what's up?" Yusuke responds trying to act casual.
"Kurama asked me to come over and check that Kuwabara gave you that message"
Jin shoots a confused look at Yusuke before shrugging and stretching out.
"Well he told me what he could, which wasn't really much. Just that Kurama wanted to talk to everyone"
"Good. Oh! I'd better get back home! Kurama will sort everything out when he can…..are you okay?"
The teen looks at her strangely for a second and turns to look in the mirror hanging over the mantelpiece. No wonder she asked. His once tidy, perfectly smooth black hair is now messy and uneven, his clothes are a little dishevelled and his lips are red and swollen from kissing Jin.
"Woah! Uh…yeah…I fell over a minute ago…down the stairs….i'm fine, really."
The brunette rolls her eyes, there was no way he could have done that, the apartment was one floor. She doesn't decide to press the matter. There was no point.
"Well I'm glad your alright. I'll see you later guys, nice meeting you again Jin! Bye!"
"Nice seein' yeh too!"
Yusuke waited for the front door to close before tidying himself as best he can. "Well…..i had better go shopping….i'll be back later….."
"Urameshi, yeh cant keep runnin' away an' avoidin' me. Yeh kissed me back!"
"That wasn't supposed to happen, I'm meant to like Keiko!…I mean I do like Keiko….i'm sorry…"
"If that's the way yeh feel, I cant be changin' that" And with that the Irishman walks out without another word, wanting to be left alone and hoping his friend wouldn't follow.
The weather seemed to reflect his mood. The once light, fluffy, snow coloured clouds had now turned black and misty. The sky was drained of its usual warm colours and a cold wind came with the developing storm and the already harsh rain.
The red head trudged silently through the park. God knows how he had ended up there, maybe if was the fact he could smell that Yusuke had been there earlier…who knows, his head had been down the whole time.
A strong gust of wind, made his barley-clothed body shiver, but he wasn't going to go back to the apartment. At least not for a while anyway.
He felt like a fool, as if his emotions had been toyed with, like they didn't matter. He understood Yusuke's feelings and the fact that he was confused, but to make out with him and then say there were no feelings involved just broke the wind master's heart.
"Jin!"
Turning around slowly, he saw Kurama, dressed simply in a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans. In one hand he held a large bad of groceries and in the other an umbrella to shelter him from the pouring rain. Are you alright?'
"Yeah…I'm jus' fine thanks…." The wind master replies with a fake smile.
The fox, however, was not fooled and ushered the demon under the umbrella next to himself. "No your not. Come on, lets get out of this rain."
Jin didn't protest, he wanted a friend right now, although he wasn't sure if he wanted to tell anyone his problems. The kitsune lead him into a near-by café, and bought them both a hot chocolate before sitting opposite the Irishman comfortably.
"Do you want to talk about it? I know you weren't standing out there alone for no reason".
Jin stirs the drink nervously. "It's a long story…and complicated".
"Well we have plenty of time while we wait for the weather to clear up"
"…Okay….but promise not to tell anyone"
"I promise"
"At the dark tournament ….when I met Urameshi….i, I realised that I'm gay….an' that I really liked him. It makes no sense te me but when we were on the couch, I kissed im. I mean, I knew he liked Keiko…but…when he kissed me back…I thought he felt the same way. I guess urameshi didn't, spur o' the moment or somethin'….."
Kurama listened without interrupting, although he was surprised by all this.
"Jin, my guess is that the kiss triggered off emotions Yusuke doesn't understand. In my opinion, he may be questioning his sexuality. Hiei was the same when I revealed my feelings to him, but he figured out what he wanted"
The demon's perked up a bit. "Yeh mean I have a chance?"
Kurama smiles. "Perhaps. But you have to be patient and not pressurise him, he'll need to figure things out on his own. Are you prepared to wait?"
"Fer as long as it takes, I luv im…"
The kitsune smiles again, eyes gleaming and sips his hot chocolate, which up until this moment had remained untouched.
They stayed there together a while longer, the conversation changing constantly before settling on the meeting. Kurama informed him about it briefly, wanting to not reveal anything while the others were not present.
Jin felt better after talking to the fox, and felt like he could really trust him. Kurama had promised not to tell anyone about his sexuality of feelings towards Yusuke.
He would tell the others when he was ready. But after hearing some advice, a glimmer of hope could be seen and he wasn't about to throw it away…...
Yusuke looked through the window worriedly. Jin was probably out there in that, cold, alone and soaked.
It was all his fault. If he had just kept his mouth shut or at least told him the truth, his friend would still be inside. Warm. The truth was that Yusuke was now seriously questioning his sexuality; his actions and feelings around Jin certainly weren't the same when he was around the other guys, but part of him still tried to convince him that it was Keiko he was interested in. A girl. Not a guy. Not that being gay was a bad thing; I mean look at Hiei and Kurama! They loved each other and were happy!
Thunder sounded and his face paled considerably, he hoped the red head was alright…..
The front door opened and closed. The detective spun his head in the direction at a speed that could break his neck. He let out a sigh of pure relief when Jin appeared, clothes waterlogged and dripping, his hair clinging to his face and forehead.
"Hey Urameshi"
"Jin!"
The dark haired boy ran to his friend pulling him into a tight hug, not caring if he got wet. "I'm so sorry mate, I didn't mean what I said…I just feel so confused and I-"
Yusuke was cut off swiftly by a soft kiss, but he didn't mind, he was just happy to have his friend back.
"I understand Urameshi, don' worry" the wind master says with a smile.
' I'll wait fer yeh forever Urameshi. I promise'
