Grinning as I slipped on my uniform, I ran to the door, ignoring Ma's shouts to make her some coffee. Running down the flights of stairs, I quickly started up the motorcycle Toguro left me. Slipping on the racing-styled aerodynamic helmet, I sped off towards school. Pulling into the parking lot, I kicked down the stand and pulled off the helmet.

Setting it on the bike, I sauntered into the school. I glanced at Kuwabara and his gang. "Yo! Urameshi!"

I paused and turned around. "Yeah?" I raised an eyebrow.

He grinned cheesily. "You know where Yukina is right?"

Oh boy. "And I'm gonna tell you why?"

"Pleeaaassseee!"

"No. Koenma'd have a fit." As would Hiei, I mentally added.

"Aw... C'MON!" He lunged at me. I glared at him out of the corner of my eye. Baka. I back flipped over him and hit him over the head.

"Not going to tell you." I turned and walked toward the roof.

Grabbing a cigarette I took one puff, glanced at it, then dropped it. Crushing it beneath my heel, I walked over to the railing. It has been a little over a month since the Tournament... And I can't help but wonder how Jin, Chu and the others are doing... And I haven't seen Kurama and Hiei in a while either. Koenma always has them busy with something.

Sighing as the wind blew through my loose hair, I glanced behind me as I heard the door open. "THERE YOU ARE!"

Crap. Keiko.

Fortunately she didn't see the crushed cigarette. That's a slight bonus...

"Why aren't you in uniform!"

"What are you talking about?" I grinned. This is exactly why I decided to wear this. "I am wearing a uniform."

She growled, her eye twitched. "That's a guy's uniform."

I shrugged. "A uniform's a uniform. Just be glad I am wearing one." I inwardly smirked, enjoying every moment of this.

"Come on! We're going to the principle's!" Crap again.

I shrugged and followed her down the stairs. As we passed the main gate, I saw a flash of red that caught my eye. Could it be...?

"KURAMA!" I shouted.

"Hm?" The flash of red backtracked. His face lit up. "Yusuke!"

Before I could fully grasp the situation, I was in a bear hug, getting my lungs crushed courtesy of Kurama and Hiei.

"Little air?" I managed to gasp.

"Sorry." Hiei smirked.

"Sure ya are." I coughed.

Kurama laughed. "Come on! Don't stand there! Let's go!"

I noticed the look of fury on Keiko's face. Deciding now was a good time to leave, I grinned and waved. "Later, 'Ko." I smirked, just to piss her off more. But before she could do anything, I was zooming out of there on my motorcycle with Hiei and Kurama on my heels.

"YUSUKE!"

Damn, it was good to be alive.

I led them to the medium-sized estate Toguro left me in the country. Rolling my bike into the garage, I led them into the house.

"Nice place." Kurama commented.

Hiei glanced around. "Who left you this?"

"Toguro. Tea, anyone?"

Taking the their slack-jaws a yes, I went into the kitchen and put the kettle on.

"The same Toguro that tried to kill you?" Hiei was the first to regain his use of speech.

"Yeah." I poured the water.

"Why would he?"

"Don't ask me." I replied to Kurama's half-spoken question and handed each of them a mug of green tea. After pouring myself one, I put the kettle back on the stove. "So, how've you been? Haven't seen you since the Tournament."

Hiei snorted. "Running errands for Pacifier-Breath. What else?"

I smirked. "Sounds 'bout right." I took a sip of the tea. I had gotten fond of the herbal kind since the two months I trained with Genkai. "And I doubt you are here for a social visit."

Kurama nodded, if somewhat regretfully. "Yes. Spirit World is in a little trouble, regarding a war that may be brewing. Koenma is holding a meeting with all three of the leaders of Demon World. He needs you to come and provide safety."

I sighed. "Any one I know going to be there?"

I swear I saw a smile on Kurama's face for a split second. But I can't be too sure... "I do not know." Liar.

He stood and kissed my forehead. "We'll pick you up in two days time. Please be ready to go by then." He pressed the back of my hand to his lips and turned to leave. I blinked. What the hell...? He was gone before I could say anything.

Hiei glared at Kurama's retreating back. Then silently sighed and stood. "Take care of yourself."

I nodded and stood as well. Giving him a quick hug, I grinned. "See ya in two days. Though you are welcome to stay if you want." Considering he slept in trees while in the human world. He seemed slightly shocked by my offer.

"Thank you." I glanced at him and grinned.

"No problem." I led him to the hallway closet. "Anything you need will probably be in here." I glanced at him. "If you need anything else, just ask."

I stretched slightly. "I'll be outside training if you need me." I turned and walked outside leaving Hiei in the house. As I did my usual regime of stretches, I couldn't help but shake the feeling Hiei was watching me from the house.

Baka: idiot

Votes:

Hiei: 9

Jin: 5

Kurama: 1

Hiei and Kurama: 10

And note, I do not come up with pairings, I merely go with what the voters and reviewers want. This is for those wondering why Jin is in the running. And if anyone wants me to write a Jin/Yusuke fic, I will. Though I do have a Jin/Touya/OC written already... And will do a sequel after I finish this one... Well, whatever.

And do not blame me if I don't update tomorrow. I have finals Wednesday and I wish to do well on my Geometry one. Wednesday I will update for sure.

Note: last week for voting.
