The Boys of Summer
By: Rikku Minouke
Disclaimer: I am so confused…I thought I owned YYH…maybe that was my dream…n.n I knew that… it was a dream that Hiei and Botan hooked up on TV…I will make it real I swear…once I own it…but I don't own YYH T.T
Tuesday
Botan sat on the couch with her head lulled back against the back of the couch. She had a hang over…it wasn't very fun for her. Keiko was…getting ready to walk Rikku to work…while some how dragging Botan along, even if she was in pain.
"Botan, you're such a light weight," Rikku grinned at her friend.
"Plus, it was under age drinking," Keiko said. "You could have got in serious trouble. What would you have done than?"
"I don't know," Botan said. "We going…"
"Actually I was prepared to call Kurama," Rikku said.
"You do know that it's a quarter to six right?" Keiko asked.
"Yes…" Rikku looked at her feet.
"That's not a bad idea though," Botan sat up and suddenly felt really dizzy so she put her hands on her head.
"Let's walk over there instead of using the phone," Keiko said.
When the two got there and knocked, so not to wake anyone up incase they were sleeping, Kuwabara answered the door. "Hey Kazuma. Is Kurama up?"
"Umm, ya I think," Kuwabara let them in and went to go find Kurama. They came back and Kurama looked really neat, like he'd been up since dawn.
"Hello Shuichi," Rikku smiled.
"When did you start calling Kurama Shuichi?" Yusuke walked over.
"When I learned that was his human name," Rikku said tilting her slightly to the left and putting an uncertain look on her face. "That's it isn't it?"
"Yes, Shuichi's my human name," Kurama replied.
"Hn," Hiei walked over as well, glanced at the door to make sure it was only the two here.
"She's at home," Keiko said. "She wasn't feeling up to moving from the couch."
"She's a light weight," Yusuke said, rolling his eyes.
"That's what I said," Rikku told them, who didn't really care.
"Is there a reason you're here?" Hiei asked, a little irritated.
"Well, we were wondering if Kurama could walk Rikku to work today," Keiko said.
"Why do you need some one to walk you to work?" Kuwabara asked.
"That is…none of your business," Rikku said.
"I will," Kurama said.
"Thank you so much," Keiko said.
"I'm not a little kid," Rikku said v.v .
"Yes, I know, but you act like one a lot," Keiko said. "I have to go see what Botan's up to."
"Let's go to work!" Rikku smiled brightly, which made Hiei twitch, to much happiness in one room.
Keiko went home and Kurama and Rikku started off to Sam Goody. "Is this your second day of work?"
"Yep," Rikku nodded. "And it's my favorite store."
"Hmm," Kurama said and suddenly felt Rikku grab his arm and press against his side. He looked down at her and saw a terrified look on her face and was looking across the street at the outside seat of some café. There were a couple of people out. one table had a girl with a laptop. Another had two guys, one with there baseball cap covering his face and the other guy…was eating and seemed to be glaring at his food, but I could be wrong. "What's the matter?"
"N-nothing," Rikku said and spend up a bit but still clutching his arm. "Here we are. Would you be able to pick me up at two?" Kurama nodded. She walked into the store and Kurama turned to walked back home when the guys who were at the restaurant were gone. No trace left of them. 'Something's wrong and they don't want us involved…why? What could be so bad that they feel we can't have a part in it? Are they scared we might get hurt? Or do they not trust us enough?' Kurama thought about it on the way back to Kazuma's.
Keiko and Botan
"Kurama's walking her there," Keiko told Botan who sat on the couch staring at the blank screen of the TV.
"I'm scared, Keiko," Botan said.
"Oh Botan," Keiko sat next to her. "We all are. We just have to smart those boys and we can our life in peace."
"No, I mean, I don't think we're gonna make it this time," Botan said, tears running down her face. "Last time it was just Kyo and now…now it's all three of them."
"Botan, we're going to get out of this. Some way, some how," Keiko said, trying to comfort her friend.
"At least you're not hung over anymore," both girls turned around to see Hiei and Yusuke.
"What are you doing here!" Keiko asked.
"We came to see if you wanted to do something," Yusuke said.
"Really?" Botan asked narrowing her eyes in disbelief.
"Yes, the four of us," Yusuke said and Hiei looked away from the girls.
"Well, what did you have in mind?" Keiko asked.
"We were thinking the Zoo," Hiei said.
"You'd want to go to the Zoo?" Botan raised an eyebrow at Hiei.
"It was actually my idea," Yusuke said, trying to help out the little guy.
"Okay, just let us get cleaned up first," Keiko said.
"What about Kurama?" Botan asked.
"He said something about research," Hiei told them.
"Okay, well…we can take my car," Botan said and stood to take a shower.
"Meet back here in an hour?" Yusuke asked.
"Sure," Keiko said and everyone disappeared.
Later that night
The four walked in the door of the girls house around six to see Kurama and Rikku laughing, watching 'Captain Ron'. "How was the Palm Beach Zoo?" Rikku asked.
"Really odd," Yusuke said.
"It was a lot of fun," Keiko smiled.
"Not when with you two," Hiei glared at Botan.
"It was your fault I almost fell into the tiger's area," Botan glared back.
"Right…" Kurama said.
"Do you guys want to go to the state fair tomorrow?" Rikku asked.
"Umm, what's tomorrow?" Yusuke asked.
"Wednesday, July 13th, 2005," Keiko said.
"I don't have anything planned," Kurama said.
"Well what about Kuwabara?" Botan asked.
"We already asked him," Rikku said. "He said him and Yukina would go. But we should go sometime around three, because well I have to go to work."
"Sounds good to me," Yusuke said and looked to Hiei…everyone was staring at him.
"What?" Hiei asked.
"Do you want to go?" Kurama asked.
"Please Hiei?" Botan asked, she was pouting.
"Stop that, you're making me sick," Hiei said with a disgusted look on his face. Botan didn't stop. "Fine."
"YAY!" Botan smiled.
"I better get home so I'll see you guys tomorrow morning to walk Rikku to work," Kurama said and walked out of the house.
"What?" Botan looked confused.
"Rikku? Explain," Keiko and Botan looked at her.
"Umm…not with those two here!" Rikku said.
"Hn, what's wrong with us being here?" Hiei smirked.
"Umm…it deals with that thing…" Rikku looked at Botan and she gasped.
"Oh," Botan said and pushed Hiei out the door. "You too Yusuke."
"Oh, hey, since Hiei's gone, I just wanted to let ya know his birthday is Saturday," Yusuke said.
"Really?" Keiko asked.
"That's what Kurama said," Rikku said.
"Well, we'll call you tonight buddy, now get out," Keiko said and pushed him out.
"Explain," Botan said and the two girls sat on either side of the younger one.
"Well, on the way to work this morning I saw Rock and Terry at Lu Lu's again, just like the other day. But when they say Kurama they seemed to hesitate a bit, then they left quickly. So I asked Kurama if he could walk me to and from work everyday and he said he'd love to," Rikku explain. "It's a way I can get to know him and it's like he's a body guard or something."
"I want a body guard," Botan said sadly.
"Me too," Keiko said.
"But you didn't tell Kurama anything did you?" Botan asked Rikku.
"No, but I think he might be getting idea's," Rikku said.
"Why did there have to be a genius in the group?" Keiko asked and the three laughed.
"What are we going to do?" Botan asked.
"Who knows," Rikku shrugged.
"We don't know enough to make a plan," Keiko noted and the other two agreed.
"Who would of guessed Hiei's birthday was July 16th?" Botan asked.
"I say we through him a party," Rikku grinned.
"That's a good idea," Keiko said. "We'll call Yukina tonight and talk to her about it."
"Yeah," the others agreed.
