Hey everyone!
I tried to upload this last night, but it wouldn't work (sweat drops) though I was able to update A Dream Come True, if anyone cares...anyway, nothing new here, just a bit tired from work; just got home just like maybe five minutes ago from work. I hope you guys like this chapter!
Disclamier: I do not own YYH or the story line Beauty and the Beast; or anything related to the two. They belong to their rightful owners and though I love them both to death, I am not making any kind of profit from having made this story and posting it here.
Enjoy!
Chapter 6:
At the castle, Kuwabara is out side playing in the snow with Sliver and the dog footstool.
On the balcony, watching the three play was Yusuke, Kurama, Koenma, and Hiei.
"I've never felt this way about anyone." Yusuke said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. " I want…I don't know why, but I just want to do something for him."
Yusuke sighed.
"But what?"
"Well…" Koenma started. "There's the usual things—flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep…"
"Hn, sounds like you and Botan's marriage." Smirked Hiei.
"Now Hiei." Scolded Kurama.
Hiei snorted and watched Kuwabara.
"That's not what you do. It has to be something very special. Something that sparks his inter—" Kurama started. A thought came to mind.
"Wait a minute." Kurama said a huge smile crossing his lips.
"What?" Yusuke asked.
"You could..." Kurama said, starting to whisper into Yusuke's ear.
Yusuke gave Kurama a look.
"I know you're the expert when it comes to this shit, but I mean…do you really think he would like that?" Yusuke asked.
Kurama nodded.
"Yes. He told us him self." Kurama said.
In the hallway, Yusuke and Kuwabara are alone.
"Hey Kuwabara…ummm, I have something I want to show you." Yusuke said.
Kuwabara looked at him, a bit curious.
"Yeah? What is it?" Kuwabara asked.
Yusuke walked up to a door and was about to open it when he froze, an idea coming to mind.
"Before I show you." Yusuke said, turning to Kuwabara, who pouts, making Yusuke smile from Kuwabara's child like behavior. "I want you to close your eyes."
Kuwabara narrowed his eyes at Yusuke.
"I hope you're not gonna give me a wet willy or something…" Kuwabara said.
Yusuke was now the one to pout.
"Oh come on, I'm not THAT bad."
Kuwabara chuckled.
"True, but still…"
"Just close your eyes." Yusuke said.
"It's a surprise, a really good one what I've been told." Yusuke said.
Kuwabara sighed and rolled his eyes before closing them. Yusuke waved his hand in front of Kuwabara's face. Satisfied that he did what he said to do, Yusuke opened the door and lead Kuwabara in by his hand.
"Can I open them?" Kuwabara asked, excited.
"No, no. Not yet. Wait here." Yusuke said.
He let's go of Kuwabara's hand and walks to draw back some curtains. As he does, the sun's brilliant rays of light spill into the room. Kuwabara flinches reflexively as the light hit his face.
"NOW can I open them?" Kuwabara asked, starting to get really anxious.
"Ok, fine, you can open them." Yusuke said a smile on his lips and anticipation in his face.
'You better be right about this fox boy…' Yusuke thought, crossing his fingers on his paws.
Kuwabara opened his eyes and was astounded to find him self in a gigantic library filled with books. The selves were so high that they had ladders that moved to reach the highest self.
"Oh my god…I…I can't believe it. I…I've never seen so many books in all my life!" Kuwabara said, taking a few steps forward and turning around to find even more books.
Yusuke looked at him.
"You—you like it?" Yusuke asked a bit surprised at how happy it made Kuwabara.
"It's awesome!" Kuwabara said, turning to Yusuke with the most wonderful smile Yusuke had ever seen on Kuwabara's lips.
"Then it's yours." Yusuke said, loving the reaction that came over Kuwabara's face.
"Really?" Kuwabara asked, his face looking as if he was a kid on Christmas day getting what he always wanted.
Yusuke felt an emotion building up in him that he had never felt before; the feeling wanting him to make Kuwabara happy. He didn't know why, but he never wanted to see that smile fade from Kuwabara's face and knowing that he was the one to put it there gave Yusuke the feeling of happiness that he hadn't felt since he was a little boy.
"Really." Yusuke said with a smile that he only gave to Kuwabara.
Kuwabara's eyes widened in delight.
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much!" Kuwabara said, beginning to head to the many books and starting to read them.
In the door way, the objects watch as Kuwabara picked up a book and even asked Yusuke to come over, showing their master what he was reading.
"Would you look at that?" said Botan a smile coming to her lips.
"I knew it would work." Kurama said with a smile.
"What? What works?" Bingo asked, looking at the two in the library and back at his mother.
"It's very encouraging." Koenma said, taking Botan's handle and holding it.
"Isn't this exciting!" Keiko said, leaning against Kurama.
"I didn't see anything." whined Bingo looking at her mother.
"Ok, let's go Bingo. There are chores in the kitchen we need to do." Botan said.
"What are they talking about? What's going on?" Bingo asked, as the objects all leave Yusuke and Kuwabara lone, to go prepare breakfast.
At the breakfast table, sat Yusuke at one end, while Kuwabara sat at the other end, Botan in between them. Kuwabara was served breakfast and as he began to eat, he happened to glance towards Yusuke and raised an eyebrow. There was Yusuke gobbling up his food with no table manners whatsoever. Bingo giggles at how Yusuke ate, while Botan gave Yusuke an admonishing look.
Kuwabara shakes his head.
'He's a nice guy…so just try and ignore him…it's not nice to stare…' Kuwabara thought, turning away.
Yusuke saw Kuwabara look away and before he could become depressed, Bingo came to his rescues, nudging the spoon with his nose to Yusuke. Yusuke looked at it before he reached out for it.
Kuwabara took another glance towards Yusuke, just curious, and looked at him in wonder as he watched Yusuke try to eat with the spoon, but because of his paws, he wasn't having much success.
Kuwabara, not able to take it anymore, put down his spoon and lift his bowl as if in a toast towards Yusuke. Yusuke looked at him and raised an eyebrow, not knowing what Kuwabara had in mind. He raised his own bowl, realizing what Kuwabara had in mind and the two began to sip their breakfast out of their bowls.
Later, out in the courtyard, Yusuke and Kuwabara are feeding the birds.
Kuwabara glances over at Yusuke, who doesn't seem to be attracting any birds.
'Man, who would have thought a guy who has a scary mug like he does is kind of sweet and kind…though he was mean and coarse and unrefined…' Kuwabara thought. 'But to think this guy is really nice and acts like he's unsure with himself…I wonder why I didn't see him like this before…'
Kuwabara shook his head at Yusuke as he shoved handfuls of seeds at some birds that he was trying to attract. Kuwabara walked up to him and took a handful of seeds and spread it out, creating a trail to Yusuke.
A bird followed the trail, which ended in Yusuke's paw, and landed in Yusuke's paw, eating out of it. Yusuke looked down at the bird with a look that made Kuwabara smile before he went back to feeding the birds. Yusuke looked up, thrilled and felt his heart jump as he looked at Kuwabara.
'Did he just look at me? I know I saw him look at me…' Yusuke thought, he remembered how Kuwabara's hand felt as he put the bird seed into his paw. 'Man…his hands were so soft and kind…like how he is…no…this is not real…I'm just seeing things I want to…I'll just ignore it and maybe it will go away…' Yusuke thought, before looking at Kuwabara again, who looked away fast. 'But then again, he never looked at me that way before…' Yusuke thought before looking down at the bird that was still in his paw.
Kuwabara didn't know what was coming over him and felt he needed to be alone for a minute. He glanced at Yusuke, finding him feeding more birds before he ducked around a tree. He could feel his heart beating fast and felt him self start to doubt his feelings. He looked out from behind the tree to look back at Yusuke and couldn't help but burst out laughing at the site.
Yusuke stood there covered with birds, his face looking half between pissed off and annoyed, though he doesn't move.
Kuwabara couldn't move his eyes from Yusuke who didn't move, obviously not wanting to scar away the birds.
'I've never felt this way before…never in my life…I thought I would have a wonderful woman or a guy that was like Prince Charming, but never did I think I'd feel this way for a guy like Yusuke…' Kuwabara thought.
He looked down and got an idea, picking up some snow and making a snow ball. Kuwabara threw the snowball at Yusuke, who had a proud look on his face when the birds flew away, and not because he had scared them. He suddenly felt a snow ball hit his face.
He turned to Kuwabara who had a smile on his lips. Yusuke got an idea in his head and a grin appeared on his lips, making Kuwabara seem to get a bit worried. Yusuke bent down and gathered a large pile of snow. Kuwabara's eyes widened and he backed up, pointing at Yusuke.
"Don't you dare!" he said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yusuke said, trying to hide the huge snow ball behind his back.
"Oh like I can't see the huge ball of snow behind you!" Kuwabara said, laughing and starting to run away, as Yusuke chased him.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Yusuke said, laughing.
Up on the balcony stood the objects, smiles on their faces as they watched the scene below; Kuwabara stopped and made a fast snowball before throwing it at Yusuke, causing him to drop the snow ball, that was over his head, and covering him self with his own snow ball.
Kuwabara laughed and ducked behind a tree. Yusuke gave a playful growl and chased Kuwabara around the tree. Kuwabara ducked around the other side and left Yusuke standing there, waiting for him to come out. Kuwabara snuck up behind Yusuke and taps him on the back. Yusuke turned around and found a snow ball in his face.
"Well who'd have thought?" Kurama said a smile on his lips.
"Well bless my soul." Botan said a smile on her lips.
"who'd have known?" Koenma said, also smiling.
"Who indeed!" Botan laughed, leaning up against Koenma.
"Hn. I knew they were right for each other." Hiei snorted a small smirk on his lips.
"Maybe if they spend a few more days together they will fall for each other." Botan said excited.
They watched the two below as they began a snow ball fight, Kuwabara winning it, though it seemed like Yusuke was letting him.
In the den, later that night, Kuwabara was sitting in front of the roaring fire, reading a book to Yusuke. Yusuke was sitting in his favorite chair, while Kuwabara sat next to him in another chair, both pretty close.
The objects peek into the room, watching as the two start to move closer to each other.
"There's something else now that wasn't there before between them…" Koenma said a grin on his lips.
"What?" Bingo asked, curious.
"Yes, there may be something there wasn't there before…" Botan said, leaning against Koenma with a sigh.
"What's there, mama?" Bingo asked his mother.
Botan smiled down at Bingo.
"I'll tell you when you're older." She said.
Botan looked up at Koenma who gave her a quick peck on the lips, making their daughter say 'ewww' at their kiss. The two laughed.
