Thanks for all the reviews. And PervyMonk, hun, you are such a sweet heart. You get the irony of YoukoxShuuichi. It's more or less masturbation.

"Wow, that was much better then last year," Koto said as she sipped her coffee. It was the night after the Dark Tournament had ended. The winners, Team Urameshi, where at the hotel. Their sponsor, Lord Koenma, had thrown a party to try and cheer them up.
"I liked the stadium blowing up at the end. Added a bit more excitement," Jorge joked from across her, sipping his own cup of coffee. Koto laughed as she looked out the window of the small café near the hotel contestants stayed at.
She sighed, her fox ears leaning down a bit, then turned back to smile at the oger. He was calmly sipping his cup, his eyes closed in delight. Koto's tail swished in lazy circles as she turned to stare at the cup in her hand.
"Well, that kinda sucked, in a way." Jorge opened one of his eyes when he heard the sad tone in the fox's voice. He put his drink down and motioned for her to go on. "I don't have a job now," her tone was a bit bitter, but she said it in a funny manner.
Koto pushed herself from the table and got up, Jorge following the suit. She want to grab her purse, but a blue hand grabbed her wrist and stopped her. She looked up to see the oger smiling and already handing cash to the cashier.
"It's on me," he said kindly. Koto smiled at him. 'He is so nice,' she thought. 'And funny'. As they walked out the door together, Jorge holding it open for her, Koto added more to the list she was making in her head.
'He's not a jerk, he hasn't tried to get me in his hotel room, his not bad looking, he doesn't stare at my chest...' Koto sneaked at glance at Jorge only to see his eyes darting back and forth between her backside and face. '... And he's not gay,' she thought happily.
They walked along the forest line, towards the cliff overseeing the water. Jorge stopped briefly and walked into the forest, leaving Koto at the edge. She stopped, a confused smile on her face and put her hands on her hips.
"Hey! Just where do you think you're going?" she playfully asked, her tail making lazy swishes. Some rustling came from the near by bushes before Jorge emerged. He walked over with his hands behind his back and a big, silly smile of his face.
Tilting her head, Koto tried to peek behind his back. Still smiling Jorge leaned to the side, hiding his hands from her view. Frowning, she leaned to the other side, only to have him move again. Getting a bit perturbed, she puffed her cheeks and let out an angry groan.
"What are you holding?" Jorge snickered at the annoyed tone in her voice. It made her sound so cute. He made a 'tut' noise and waved his hand that wasn't holding anything.
"Close your eyes." Koto rolled her eyes but complied. She felt Jorge touch her ear, which twitched at the contact, and place something behind it. His hands retracted from her head and she heard and approving 'hm'.
"You can open your eyes now," he said in a sweet voice. Her green eyes opened and her hand immediately went to her ear. She could feel a stem, small leaves, and soft petals. Smiling, Koto pulled the flower from her ear and looked at it.
"Aw!" she cooed with a giggle. It was a small flower. The petals began as a deep purple, then faded into an intense pink. She brought the flower up to her nose and sniffed. Heavenly. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Jorge.
"You are so sweet," she purred. Jorge rubbed the back of his neck and laughed nervously, his cheeks turning slightly pink. He walked over closer to her and grasped her hands.
"It was so beautiful, it reminded me of you," he said as he took the flower out of her hands and placed it back on her fox ear. It was her turn to blush as his fingers slid across the soft fur on her ear.
He moved off to the side and they started to walk again. Jorge walked closer to the fox and did the old yawn-and-put-your-arm-over-the-girl's-shoulder trick. Koto rolled her eyes when his arm landed on her shoulder, but said nothing. Instead she leaned onto his shoulder and grabbed his hand.
The night air whipped around as they walked, tossing the leaves with it. They stopped at the cliffs edge. Sighing, Koto looked up at the sky. The moon was hidden behind dark clouds that rolled along the open sky.
Koto's tail swished in tight circles before it drew itself across the small of the oger's back. He was only startled for a minute, then relaxed as the soft appendage rested on his waist.
"Do you think we'll see each other again?" Koto asked, her sad tone breaking the night's silence. Jorge opened his mouth to answer, but slowly closed it. Would they ever see each other again? His eyebrow knitted together as he thought.
"I don't really know," he said unsurely. His hold tightened on her shoulders as he hugged her close. "If fate wants it to be, it'll be. If not, then..." He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss to the nose. "It was good while it lasted," he finished, smiling.
Koto puffed out her cheeks and sighed through her nose. Her grip tightened on Jorge's hand, her nails lightly digging into his blue skin. "Fate sucks, I hope it get destroyed," she said angerly.
Chuckling, Jorge reached his other hand out and tilted her chin up to look at him. A warm smile graced his lips as he spoke. "You never know. We might have one of those love connections."
Koto looked at him blankly, her ears leaning down. "Like... a string of love?" she asked cutely, then turned her head to look at the water.
"Something like that," Jorge said as he kissed the top of her ear, the one that still had the flower, then leaned his head against her's.
After a few more hours of whispering sweet nothings to each other, they went back to their own hotel room. Koto kicked her shoes off as she walked to her bed. Without changing into her pajamas, she feel face first onto her pillow.
Sad tears slowly leaked from the corners of her eyes. She had just met this great guy and she would never see him again. Koto picked her head up, her brown hair stuck to her face. Reaching up she plucked the flower off of her ear.
Giving a sad smile, she gave it a sniff before placing it on the night stand next to her bed. That night the fox cried herself to sleep, something she hadn't done in a while.
The next morning, Koto had forced herself out of the hotel bed. After freshening up in the bathroom(she had to get rid of those tear-streaks) and changing into a comfy pair of jeans and a sweatshirt she started to pack up to leave. After shoving the last of her stuff in her suitcase, she slowed down and leaned against the couch in the middle of the room.
"Well, I guess it's time to leave this place behind," she said to herself. She stopped in mid-step and abruptly turned and ran to the bed room. The flower was still on the night-stand. As she near the furniture her ears drooped as did her lips.
The petals had curled up and dried. The vibrant colors had faded into a light grey, the stem turned a darker green. Hesitatingly, she reached her hand out and touched it. As soon as her skin made contact the petals crumbled off into dust.
Koto narrowed her eyes. "This is why demon world flowers suck," she said angry to herself before walking back out. She picked up her one suitcase and the keys to her hotel room. She walked over to the door and opened it, not looking as she shut it behind her.
As she turned to lock the door, a piece of paper caught her eye. Attached to the note was another pink and purple flower. Her fox tail swished as she took the note off of her door. The swishing movement became faster as she read the note.
Koto my love,
Your face will forever be etched in my heart. Everything about you is perfect, and I never want to forgot. We've only known each other for a day, but the way you make me feel is just...amazing. It might seem to soon to say this but I think I might be in love with you. I can't wait until the day I see your smiling face again. Who knows, maybe I'll see you at your next job. Maybe Fate will be nice to both of us this time.
Love always and forever, Jorge
Smiling, Koto removed the flower, folded the note, then put it in her pocket. She stared at the flower before bringing it up to her nose and smelling it. It smelt as beautiful as the other did. She lowered her lips and gave one of the petals a soft kiss. The silky petal caressed her lips, just like Jorge's.
As she picked her suitcase up with her other hand she gently put the flower behind her ear. Maybe Fate would be nice for a change.
