"Well I guess the mission will have to wait," Ayumi declared as everybody stared at her as if she was the president of a certain company. "How come? Koenma enrolled you to Meiou High School and you don't want to do the mission?" Kuwabara asked.
"Well, I don't know if Koenma was stupid enough to admit me at the last day of school. If that's not it I don't know what it is." Ayumi explained and everybody seem to have forgotten that it was summer vacation already. "Well if we go to school at summer vacation people might get suspicious of us," Kurama stated as everybody agreed.
"Summer classes!" Botan shouted as all eyes transferred to her. "Huh?" Everybody asked. "Summer classes! We can enroll someone for summer classes to investigate!" Botan explained. "Well for Shiji High we can enroll Yusuke and Kuwabara. But in Meiou High, Kurama and I are candidates for Honor students so it would be pretty weird if we took summer lessons," Ayumi said as everybody sighed. "SUMMER CLASSES! NO WAY!" Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted but Ayumi convinced them so they gave in.
"Now we have spies for Shiji High, all that's left is Meiou High!" Botan shouted. "Taekwondo!" Ayumi shouted, which made everybody stare at her. "Huh?" all of them asked again. "Taekwondo! I have a black belt in taekwondo and I can disguise myself by acting like a student!" Ayumi shouted and all of them just shouted saying that it was a great idea.
"But what if the demon attacks you?" Yusuke asked and everybody fell silent. "You forget, I'm their leader! Why would they attack their leader and if they will, I can kick their butt just like a-b-c!" Ayumi said as she cracked her knuckles and everybody just nodded.
"I'll go with Ayumi," Kurama suggested.
"I can handle myself thank you," Ayumi talked back and everybody just stared.
"Look, demons are after you and we wouldn't know what would happen if you go alone," Kurama said in a concerned voice. "Besides, I am your partner," Kurama continued.
"I guess so, but I'm telling you, don't act too overprotective on me I can take care of myself," Ayumi said as she stood up and went into the boy's room. "What's with her?" Yusuke asked as he looked at Kurama who was looking down on the floor with a depressed face. "Maybe a lover's quarrel," Miharu said and everybody stared at her.
"They're both boys! How can they be lovers?" Kuwabara asked and everybody agreed to the question. "Well, it might be possible, we saw the scene a while ago, right?" Yusuke added and everybody just grinned except for Kurama.
"It's nothing like that," Kurama said as he stood up. "What is it then?" Miharu asked, sticking her nose into the business. "None of your business," Kurama said as he went to the boy's room and went after Ayumi.
AT THE BOY'S ROOM
Ayumi buried her face in the pillow as her cap fell off and her hair lied down. "I hate my life," Ayumi murmured as she lets out a deep sigh and stood up and walked to the balcony.
"Why does this happen? Why now? Am I that important?" Ayumi asked herself as she stood at the edge of the balcony with the wind blowing in her hair.
"Ayumi," Ayumi heard a worried voice as she turned around and saw Kurama walking towards her. "What do you want?" Ayumi asked as she turned away from Kurama and looked at the view from the balcony.
"Why did you act like that a while ago?" Kurama asked as he went and stopped behind Ayumi. "I always act like that," Ayumi said in a cold voice. "What's wrong?" Kurama asked. "Nothing," Ayumi answered.
"That nothing looks like something," Kurama said trying to cheer Ayumi up. "Well this nothing that looks like something is simply nothing," Ayumi said, trying to confuse Kurama and herself.
"Well if a nothing that looks like something is simply nothing, it becomes a something." Kurama said as he saw Ayumi stop. "Something's bugging you. What is it?" Kurama asked, hoping that Ayumi would answer his question already.
"What's bugging me? Oh nothing! Just the fact that everybody is being overprotective about me and everybody thinks that I can't protect myself just because I'm a princess! I hate it! People think that I can't defend myself because I'm part a royal family and that I'm a spoiled brat! And I know that my parents told you to look after me and protect and they also told you to never leave me off alone! I know it's true and you don't need to deny it!" Ayumi shouted as tears ran down her face.
"Why would they think that you can't protect yourself?" Kurama asked with concern. "Because I'm a girl! Because I'm a lady! Because I'm a princess! I hate it! I hate it when bodyguards follow me around!" Ayumi shouted as she stood still.
"They told you to protect me, didn't they?" Ayumi asked in a low, depressed voice and Kurama gave no response. "THEY TOLD YOU TO PROTECT ME, DIDN'T THEY! ANSWER ME DARN IT!" Ayumi shouted as she turned around to face Kurama but she was shocked when Kurama suddenly kissed her.
Ayumi's eyes widened as Kurama stopped and looked at her with concerned eyes. "No, they didn't." Kurama said in such a voice that tears came out from Ayumi's eyes. "I know that you can protect yourself.
It doesn't matter if you're a princess, you're strong enough to blackmail Hiei," Kurama joked and Ayumi just smiled and gave Kurama a fake slap in the cheek.
"Why the heck did you do that?" Ayumi asked as she started crying. "I just don't want to see you crying but I guess I failed," Kurama said as he looked at Ayumi. "Yeah right," Ayumi whispered to herself as she just stood there.
"Why did you go here anyway?" Ayumi asked for no reason. "Just keeping you company. And here's your cap. The guys will be here soon." Kurama said as he wiped the tears off Ayumi's face and handed her the cap.
"I'm amazed you can still get along with me considering my mood swings," Ayumi said as she wore the cap. "I'm kinda used to it," Kurama said sarcastically as he helped Ayumi put her cap up and washed her face.
"I guess it's time for dinner," Kurama said as he looked at his wristwatch. "Already? What time is it?" Ayumi asked as the door knocked. "6:35!" Kurama shouted as he ran to the door and opened it revealing Yusuke and the guys with the girls.
"Took ya long enough! I'm starving!" Kuwabara shouted as Yusuke shouted YEAH! "Fine fine… I'll treat you all to dinner," Ayumi said as she walked towards them and went straight out. "Hey Ayumi," Ayumi heard Keiko then the two of them walked together. "What is it, Keiko?" Ayumi asked.
"Your eyes are all red. Did you cry?" Keiko asked Ayumi who was just having a sweat drop hidden at the back of her head. "Not really, I guess I played too much video games," Ayumi said and added "don't worry, I'm fine." Which made Keiko smile.
"Ayumi, tell me," Keiko suddenly said. "Tell you what?" Ayumi asked, worried that Keiko knew she was a girl. "What would you do or say when I suddenly tell you that I have a crush on you or I love you?" Keiko asked, blushing wildly.
Ayumi was shocked by the question. She had three sweat drops at the back of her head and also blushing wildly. "Is that a random question or is it true?" Ayumi asked so that she would know if she'd take it as a joke or not.
"I guess it's just a random question," Keiko said but Ayumi was just so shy to take it as a joke. What if she really has a crush on me? What if I say the wrong thing? These thoughts circled around Ayumi's head.
"Ayumi?" Keiko asked as she waved her hand in front of Ayumi's face that was just staring into space. "Oh, sorry," Ayumi apologized as she snapped out of dreamland. "Well I guess I shouldn't ask those kind of questions suddenly," Keiko said as she walked along with Ayumi.
"Not really, I'll answer it," Ayumi said as she smiled. "But first, I must warn you. If you have a crush on me, I suggest you stop it before you fall to pieces," Ayumi warned Keiko who was just staring at her.
"Why? You already have a girlfriend?" Keiko asked and Ayumi just made another sweat drop but she got serious. "No, but I'm telling you, later on you'll find out a very surprising thing about me and if you have a crush on me you'll be really embarrassed." Ayumi said as Keiko just stared at her.
"Okay we're here!" Ayumi said as they arrived at the restaurant that they went to a while ago to have lunch.
Ayumi: hmm... what's for dinner?
Miharu: do you eat fish?
Ayumi: of course NOT! everybody knows that!
Miharu: yap.. and everybody knows that you're a certified spoiled brat as well!
Ayumi: whines I'm not a spoiled brat!
Miharu: yes you are.. see? you're whining!
Ayumi: I'm not whining!
Miharu and Ayumi: fights again
Kurama: sighsweat drop
