A/N: Aw, this chapter makes me laugh… I'm still kind of a bit of a Kuwabara-basher at heart, if only just for kicks. I mean no harm, so Kuwa-fans, please don't flame me. Eek, sorry it's so short! o.o

5. Interrogation and Kuwabara's Date
"You know her, don't you?" Kurama asked Luna after he had set down his bags. "You know who that girl is."

Luna didn't say anything for a moment. Then, she replied, "Yes. I do know who she is."

"Please tell me!" Kurama said, even though he knew she wouldn't.

"I'm not going to tell you," Luna said, turning away from her brother. "For three reasons." She held up three fingers. "Number one, I promised her that I wouldn't tell, number two, I don't feel like it, and number three, it would ruin all the fun if I told you. Wouldn't it, Suichi?"

Kurama sighed. It would ruin the fun if she did tell him. He was kind of starting to like the whole mysterious act. It certainly wasn't boring…

"You're right," he said.

"But, I'll give you one clue," Luna said. "You've seen her before. You've talked to her, and you know who she is."

Kurama frowned. "That doesn't help much. I've seen, talked to, and known a quite a few girls."

"Why don't you make a list?" Luna said sarcastically.

Kurama grabbed a sheet of paper out of his backpack. "Good idea," he said. "Maybe I'll be able to narrow it down…"

"Wow. You really are stupid sometimes," said Luna. "You take things way too seriously. Why don't you drop it and just enjoy the mystery?"

"It's a simple answer. I just want to know who it is…"

Meanwhile, Kuwabara and Yukina were at the Magic Dragon outdoor restaurant, enjoying a night all to themselves…

"So, Yukina," said Kuwabara, trying to be sexy. "What do you really think of me?"

Yukina smiled politely. "I think you're a really nice person, Kazuma, and you're cute and all that—"

"That's right!" Kuwabara said loudly. A man at a nearby table stared strangely at him. Kuwabara whispered to him, "She thinks I'm cute!" The man nodded, raising his eyebrows. He turned to his girlfriend and whispered something in her ear.

Yukina smiled, her face flushing pink. "Yes… Well, Kazuma, what do you think of me?"

Kuwabara leaned closer to Yukina, putting his elbows on the table. "I think you are the most beautiful, nice, sweet, lovely, sexy…"

Hiei sat in a nearby tree, watching over his sister's date. He didn't like the idea of the orange-haired idiot going out with his sister, but he didn't want to say anything. He just thought he'd supervise, making sure that they wouldn't do anything that he deemed "inappropriate". He was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible; Kuwabara and Yukina didn't know he was there. But he thought it would be pretty hard to be inconspicuous if he accidentally puked when Kuwabara said those things about his sister…

Yukina blushed and giggled. "Oh, Kazuma…"

"Yukina…" Kuwabara said, his voice dropped to a husky whisper. "Yukina…"

"What…?"

"Will you… kiss me?"

Yukina stopped breathing. Her mind raced. What should I say? I don't really love him… I can't kiss him… I like somebody else… I would feel like I'm betraying my love to the other person… What should I do? she thought "Uh… Kazuma…" she started.

"Yes, my love?"

"I… I can't."

"You can't what?"

"I can't kiss you," Yukina said, looking down. "I… I don't feel the same way about you as you feel about me."

"Wh… what?"

Hiei in the tree smiled. Looks like he wouldn't need a barf bag after all. Maybe just some duct tape to keep his mouth shut so he wouldn't laugh at Kuwabara's misery.

"I can't kiss you… because… my heart belongs to somebody else," Yukina finished. "I'm sorry…"

"Yukina…"

Yukina stood up, pushing in her chair. "I'm so sorry, Kazuma." She squeezed his shaking hand, tears shining in her glassy eyes. "I hope you can forgive me…"

"Yu...Yukina…" Kuwabara stared after her as she walked away from the table. Many people were starting to stare at him again.

Kuwabara sighed and left the restaurant, leaving a large tip for the waitress. He stood up and left, thinking, Yukina doesn't like me? If… if she doesn't like me, then… who DOES she like…?

Reviewer Responses!

Dances With Deers: Thank you! I suppose it is an honor to be called "O.C.-episode-worthy". I wouldn't know; I don't watch the show (anime is a bad enough vice for me, last thing I need is a primetime teen drama… o.o). Anyway, I'm very glad you like it. And… wow… you mentioned my obnoxious fancharacter in your review. It really makes her feel special. :) Thanks very much for the review!
