YYF14: Okay, chapter 2! Thanks, Nekosune, for reviewing! This chapter's another long one, so I hope you guys like it. Man, I've been busy all afternoon. I got a LOT of fanfic ideas, and I've been writing them all. I'm probably gonna end up posting them, so maybe later I'll put up some stuff in my profile. Anyway, on to the chapter!


As they entered the shop, they were slightly surprised to see that they were the only ones there. The owner of the shop, an elder man, seemed happy to see them, and walked over.

"First years?" he asked kindly. Yusuke shook his head.

"Not exactly. We're new to all this, but we're being put right into fifth because we're too old for first." Koenma looked at him, confused.

"When'd you find that out?"

"Genkai told me. When, I don't remember, but I know she told me."

"Whatever the circumstances, are you two ready for your wands?"

Yusuke nodded, and turned back to face Koenma.

"You go first."

"Do I have to?" Koenma said, a little nervous.

Yusuke crossed his arms. "I don't see what's so scary about going first. I'll go, then, if you're going to be so wimpy about it."

He stepped up to Mr. Ollivander. "I'm ready." (A:N: Oh, before they try their wands, I wanna say something- I actually made up stuff for their wands- I didn't take from the movie! Yay!)

Mr. Ollivander took a box off the shelf and opened it, handing what looked like a stick to Yusuke.

"Wave it," he instructed. Yusuke did so, and the wand slipped out of his hand, and started hitting him over the head. Mr. Ollivander quickly grabbed it and put it back in the box.

"I am very sorry," he apologized, placing it back on the shelf and taking back another.

"Some wands are very temperamental."

He gave Yusuke another wand, Yusuke waved it, and red electricity came out of it, making the lights of the shop flicker. Yusuke put it down hesitantly, and it stopped.

"I don't think it likes me," he said, staring at it.

"No, it just wasn't the right one for you," Mr. Ollivander replied. "Many students have a hard time picking out wands that suit them. Here, try this one."

Yusuke waved it, and blinked at a tingling feeling he felt. Blue sparks shot out of the end, and Mr. Ollivander smiled.

"Congratulations, this is your wand," he said. "Eleven inches, pine, core of a phoenix tail feather."

Yusuke smiled, and pocketed the wand, handing Mr. Ollivander the money it had cost.

"Your turn," he said to Koenma, and stood near the door. Koenma nodded silently, and stepped forward.

Mr. Ollivander handed him a wand, and Koenma waved it, not really expecting anything to happen. However, blue electricity shot out of it, and Koenma dropped it before anything else could happen. The electricity stopped.

"That was kind of like mine," Yusuke commented. "Except the color was different."

"I used that same wand for you. I wanted to see if the reaction would be any different."

Mr. Ollivander took another wand off of the shelf, and handed it to Koenma. He waved it, and greenish blue bubbles came out of the end.

"Ah, very interesting wand. Twelve inches, willow, core of dragon tail. It is an interesting wand because willow is a wood in wands that most girls get, but dragon tail is a boy core."

Yusuke laughed. "A half girl half boy wand?"

"In a sense. I wasn't expecting you to get this wand. Nobody ever does. But anyway, thank you, and I shall see you some other time."

As the boys left the shop, Yusuke was thinking again. He had made another mistake earlier. He had been rude, again. Koenma had been nervous about going first, and he had teased him because of that. He sighed.

"I'm sorry, Koenma," he said softly.

"For what this time? You've said this before."

"I know… I've been really rude today… I don't know why, but I'm just not able to keep my mouth shut."

"It's okay. You've done worse before. It is frustrating doing something new, so I'm not going to blame you for what you've said today. C'mon, let's go get our books and then we can be done for the day."

-----

As the boys lay in bed that night, Yusuke silently promised to himself that he would be nicer to Koenma. Even if this bond wasn't a problem, he should be able to hold his tongue anyway. A soft noise distracted him, and he sat up, looking over at Koenma's bed.

It was empty. Yusuke frowned, and looked around the room, confused. His gaze fell on the windowsill, and there he was.

"Koenma, why're you awake?"

"Why are you awake, Yusuke?"

"I asked you first."

Koenma sighed. "I'm allowed to be awake if I want to, Yusuke."

"But you need your sleep. You're already tired enough because you don't eat regularly. You eat like once every other day, and then it's something small."

"Yusuke…"

"I mean it, Koenma. Unless…" Yusuke's eyes widened. "Is it because of the nightmares?"

Koenma looked down, and Yusuke looked at him sympathetically.

"Koenma, you could- if you wanted to- spend the night with me? If you have a nightmare, I can… help you…" As Yusuke was saying this, he was turning a dark red.

Koenma's eyes widened. "Yusuke- I…" He got off the windowsill and sat on the edge of the bed, but didn't move past that.

"I mean it, Koenma. And I won't do anything to you. I'll just sleep."

Koenma had a nervous look on his face, and a piece of Genkai's advice replayed in Yusuke's head. If he's nervous, give him room to think.

"You don't have to if you don't want to," he said quickly. "I just wanted you to get some sleep, and it just popped into mind…"

Koenma stayed silent for a moment, but slowly seemed to relax.

"Just sleep," he said softly, and gradually lay down under the covers and closed his eyes.

He had taken the headband off, and Yusuke saw the contented blue, but it was tinged with a timid gray. At least Koenma trusted him enough for this… Would he mind an embrace, or did they have to have no contact?

"Actually, a hug might be good right now," Koenma whispered, voice sounding tired.

Yusuke chuckled, but got into a comfortable position and put his arms around Koenma. He felt him tense for a second, but he soon relaxed, and hesitantly put his arms around Yusuke. Yusuke fell asleep quickly, a smile on his face. Koenma trusted him.

-----

The next morning, Yusuke woke early, but he didn't know why. He didn't care why, either, after a few moments. He smiled, seeing that Koenma had stayed with him all night, and his arms weren't hesitant anymore. It was a real embrace.

Suddenly, an unwelcome thought went through Yusuke's mind. What if Koenma was only like this because he was asleep? Would he continue to act like this when he woke up? Yusuke hoped so. If Koenma could trust him enough for this, then he could trust him for a whole lot more.

He was startled out of his thoughts a few moments later. The bond was warning him of something… but what? It nudged him again, and his eyes widened.

Nightmare… But he looks fine… Actually, scratch that…Damn, he's pale…

Yusuke shook Koenma's shoulder to try and wake him up, but Koenma tensed and curled up, pulling away from Yusuke.

Is he EVER going to stop having nightmares? Yusuke sighed.

"Koenma, please wake up…"

At the sound of his voice, Koenma seemed to relax a bit. Yusuke blinked, getting an idea. If his voice would calm him down, then maybe this would help him stop getting nightmares.

"Koenma, it's okay. He can't hurt you, it's only a dream."

"Yu-suke… Yusuke…" He reached out, and Yusuke held his hand in reassurance.

"You'll be okay, K-chan. Here…" Yusuke pulled him into a protective embrace, but Koenma made a startled sound, trying to pull away. Yusuke started to run his fingers through Koenma's hair, smiling when it seemed to soothe him.

"It's okay, K-chan, I'm here…" Yusuke continued his actions until he became half asleep, drifting off. He could feel the bond at peace, no nightmares, and the last thing he saw before falling asleep was the color pink mixed with blue. Happy and in love.

-----

Koenma woke, feeling oddly comfortable. He could feel someone's arms around him, and he felt protective energy that had a familiar signature…

Yusuke! What happened? I don't remember anything from last night… What did he do?

"Koenma? You awake?"

Koenma opened his eyes and nodded. "Yes, but how did you know?"

"The color. It was getting to that nervous yellow-green, so I knew you were probably wondering about what happened last night."

Koenma sat up and looked at Yusuke seriously. "What happened last night?"

"Well, first off, you couldn't sleep, so I suggested you spend the night with me, so in case you got a nightmare I could help. Then, you did get a nightmare, and it was a pretty bad one, so I had to help you with that. You were asleep the whole time though… Then we both fell asleep, and… here we are."

"So… nothing happened?"

"Nothing happened."

A few moments of silence passed, and then a knock at the door was heard, startling them both. Genkai entered.

"Are you two ready to get more of your supplies?" she asked. "You only got books and wands yesterday, and it's already eight."

"Okay, okay, we're going!" Yusuke said, resigned. Once Genkai had left, he turned back to Koenma.

"You got your headband?"

Koenma nodded, and the two left the building.


YYF14: Ok, not a ton happened, but I'm still proud that I made up the wand stuff. Last time I used the stuff from the movie. Anyway, next chapter they'll meet the HP gang! I'll put up the next chapter tomorrow, so... see you then, and review if you wish!
