Chapter 4: Fangirls

It was a sunny afternoon and Rai was at the mall with Seishou and Yasu. She dragged them there when she discovered that Seishou hadn't brought much with him. Rai wasn't much of a shopper, but when the occasion called for it, she would.

Seishou sighed. "Remind me why we're doing this."

"You need more to wear than that suit. It's your fault that you didn't bring anything with you." Rai told him. Yasu just shook her head. She needed headache medicine fast. It wasn't until Rai pointed something out that she looked up.

"Hey, Yasu. Isn't that the Meiou school uniform?"

Yasu looked up at the name of the school. "It certainly looks like it. But I don't see Kurama with them. It's just a group of girls."

Rai saw something that caught her eye.

"Hey Seishou! Could you wait here for a moment while I show Yasu something I just saw?"

"No. I'll just sit here until you come back." Seishou took a chair at an unoccupied table, crossed his arms and legs, set down his purchased items, and took an unknown interest in the wall in front of him.

"So what is it?" Yasu asked when Rai dragged her away.

"I don't know why they have these in malls, but I saw a store you might like." Rai turned to beam at her friend. She had led the girl to a weapons shop. The fire demon's eyes widen slightly. Her favorite thing is fighting. As a certain orange-haired buffoon learned quickly.

Yasu looked through the whole store, almost with the enraptured enthusiasm of a child. Minus the "Mommy, can I get that? Mommy, can I get this?" kind of questions.

Rai chuckled to herself. This was quite fun to watch. A dignified demon acting like a child in a candy store.

"Isn't where those Meiou girls are gathering where your brother is supposed to be waiting?"

Rai turned around to see that, as Yasu pointed out, those girls had surrounded her brother. Her face fell. Seishou seemed to be getting rather popular with the girls.

Quickly, Rai and Yasu walked over to the crowd.

"You go get your brother. I'll just sit here." Yasu said, standing contently to the side.

"Oh, such a wonderful, helpful, kindly person you are."

"Only for you." Yasu said with a smirk.

Rai sighed as she went to her task. When she reached the middle, she was rather frustrated.

"If you would excuse us, ladies, I would prefer if you would give my brother some breathing room. He is not quite used to being flocked to by crazy girls." She said loudly so everyone in the group could hear. She grabbed Seishou's hand and led him out of the gathered girls.

"Wow. He's nearly as gorgeous as Shuichi Minamino!" One girl said in a hush squeal.

Yasu froze. They just said his name. In a way that, as his girlfriend, she didn't particularly enjoy. She downright hated it.

"Did you just say Shuichi Minamino?" Yasu said, barely able to hide a menacing growl.

"Yes. Do you know him? We are the 'Official Shuichi Minamino Fan Club'." One girl said proudly.

You could practically see Yasu twitch when she heard that ridiculous title. But before Yasu could actually maim the girls grouped before her, Rai stepped in.

"Um, if I were you, I would never mention his name in her presence ever again. She isn't a very tolerant person." Rai said, leaning in.

"Why? Does she hate him or something?" The apparent leader said, crossing her arms. She was starting to glare back.

"No, quite the opposite. I walked in on them one time." Rai said, slightly grinning.

"Rai." Yasu said in a threatening voice. "Two things. One, they don't need to know any of what we've together. Two, you sat there and watched. You thought it was funny." She looked up at the girls and uttered a rather graphic threat. "If any of you repeat a single word of any of this conversation, I will find whoever talked, kill them very slowly, and hang their innards for everyone see."

The girls stood, gaping at the angry girl. One of them stepped forward, "You mean that you actually had-."

"No." Yasu cut her off quickly. "I wouldn't go that far. I have other things to do with my time." And with that she turned and walked out of the mall.

"That is one over-reacting girl. But I must say that you never bring up this conversation. It's not a wise thing to cross her. Good-bye. Have a pleasant day." Rai quickly followed Yasu, dragging Seishou behind her.

Yasu stomped all the way home. She collapsed on her back onto a couch. "The very thought of a bunch girls doing something like creating fan club like that, sickens me."

Seishou simply left for his room. Rai took the opposite couch of the reclining demon. They sat in silence for a little while when they heard a knock at the door. Rai looked at Yasu, seeing if she would get it, but the stubborn girl didn't even budge.

"No, no. Don't bother getting up. No, I'll go get it. I know I always get it. It's pleasure doing it. You don't need stress yourself." She muttered to herself.

"Yes, slave. Get the door." Yasu smirked at Rai. Rai shoot Yasu a dirty look.

Rai opened the door to see Kurama, or otherwise known as Shuichi Minamino.

"What do you know? Speak of the devil! Yasu and I just conversation about you! You might want to be careful. She's not in the best of moods."

"What for?" He asked in good-nature. He was always so caring for Yasu.

"She just found how popular with the girls you are at school." Rai said with a, somewhat, exasperated look.

"In other words, she met my silly fan club." Kurama stated matter-of-factly.

"Yeah. They had been drooling Seishou. And Yasu added a very colorful. Something about innards." Rai politely omitted part of conversation that was kind of uncomfortable. Yasu glared at Rai.

"Don't bother about them, Yasu. They could never compete against you." Kurama walked to Yasu, with that smile on his face.

"I'll just leave you two for now." Rai said grinning as she ran to her room.

"May I sit here? Or shall I sit on the other couch?" Kurama asked the still steaming girl.

Yasu looked at him and grudgingly brought her feet up, sitting up on the couch. Kurama sat down right next to her.

"Do they bother you that much?"

Yasu was quiet for a moment. "It's the way they obsess over you. It's sickening, really."

Kurama looked at her and put his arm on the farthest shoulder from him and brought to Yasu into his chest. She gathered the hint, leaned her head on his chest, and let him rest his chin on her head.

"As I said, they could never compare to you. You're the only one for me." He whispered to her.

Yasu closed her eyes. Very few could comfort her like this and one of them was dead. She slipped out of that world of pain and could only feel Kurama holding her. His scent, his warmth (not really comparable to hers), the sound of his breath, it so intoxicating.

"I'll always be yours." She whispered.

A deep chuckle could be heard from a separate room, if you were listening. A very malicious plan was forming against them at this very moment.

More useless thoughts of the author:

Yay! Squishi-ness between Yasu and Kurama! You don't actually see very much of it, surprisingly. That may be favorite because my favorite is Hiei. He is so awesome! Anyways, I love just ticking off those stupid fangirls of Kurama's! They need to get a life! It's not like they can allshare him! Seriously! (Readers: Stop ranting and get on with the next censored chapter already!) Don't worry. The next chapter will come pretty soon... Once I actually get it typed up, that is. (Claryssa: Don't worry. I'll make her type.) Okay! I get the point. Ranting stops now. Bye!
