"Gotta go mom!" I called as I threw on my jacket and headed for the door. "Where are you going honey?" She asked as she watched me trip over myself in my rush to go. I stood up, shaking my head. "I'm going to meet a friend at the park! Be back soon!" I quickly rushed out the door before my mom could ask anymore questions.

I ran the whole way to the park. I could not contain my excitement.

I'm going to see him again! He WANTED to see me again! OH HAPPY DAY I-

My jubilant celebration was cut short by a loud honk. "EGA-TABA!" I screeched as a nearly fell over in a startled dance. In my excitement to meet Kurama, I had nearly killed myself by running into the street. A man with grey hair leaned out the window of his car, obviously peeved.

Hm...I wonder why HE'S so mad...

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT! GET OUTTA THE ROAD YOU DING DONG!"

"Uhhhhh..." I stared at him for a minute. Then I suddenly realized he was talking to me, the only person standing in the middle of the road. "Oh! S-sorry sir!" I quickly ran to the other side of the road. He then zoomed off. I watched him drive off. "...YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL ME SUCH HORRIBLE NAMES YOU OLD GEEZER!" I yelled after him.

His car suddenly stopped at the end of the street, and looked like it was going to turn around. "OH GEEZ-!" I cried and dashed off.

I walked down the sidewalk, wondering what I was going to say to Kurama. Hm...maybe 'Hi! You wanna go get some ice cream!'...no, too perky...'Hello Kurama. It's nice to see you again.' Nope, way too formal." I paused. "Oh! I know! 'Hi Kurama! Guess what? I almost got run over by a crazy old man on my way here because I daydreaming about your luscious body!' I stopped. "...hm...that might give away that I have a crush on him..." I mumbled.

"Hello Miss Rebecca!"

"ACK!" I cried at the sound of another person, and fell backwards into the snow. Kurama chuckled lightly and helped me up. "You seem to do that a lot, Miss Rebecca. You should really watch where you're going."

I stared at him, blushing. "Oh...yeah...well...er...you don't have to call me 'Miss' Rebecca...Rebecca is just fine!...or Becky...or Bec...Rebeccy...Reb...Ca..."

'Or maybe love slave...lover...honey...sweetie...wife...' I thought to myself...(BUT ONLY TO MYSELF!)

He cut me off with a warm smile. "I think Rebecca would be just fine." I nodded with a smile. It was then that I noticed two people behind Kurama.

It was two boys, about 14 or 15. One had shiny black hair that was slicked back, and looked kind of like the kid who would steal your lunch money. The other boy beside him had curly orange hair, and was looked like the kind of guy who would beat you up of you looked at him funny.

Wow...he doesn't he have wonderful, kind, and cheerful friends?

Kurama noticed that I was staring at them.

"Oh, how rude of me! Rebecca, this is Yusuke and Kuwabara." I smiled. "Pleasure to meet you both." Yusuke, the black haired boy, gave me a half smile. "Hey." The other one grinned goofily. "Hello! I am Kazuma Kuwabara! The number one punk at-" Yusuke stopped him "Are you STILL going on about that! You know I'm stronger then you, faster then you, AND better looking then you! So just give it a rest! There's no shame in being second best!" Kuwabara glared at him. "Say what! Whatever Yurameshi! You just keep telling yourself that!"

Kurama sighed. "Is that anyway to act around a girl? Honestly, you two have no manners." I giggled. It was funny to watch two punk boys like them get scolded by such a pretty man.

Yusuke rolled his eyes. "Fine fine...I don't even know why Koenma made us come with you on your date!" I went red at this comment.

Kuwabara blinked in confusion. "...date?...I thought we were just going to go get burgers or something..."

Kurama shook his head. "This isn't a date! We simply enjoyed each others company yesterday, so we decided to meet again." I was crushed.

What? This isn't a date? Oh how awful! How EVER shall I go on! Shall I never be more to you then just a friend! OH WOE IS ME! But no matter my love! Even if you reject my love, my heart shall love you even more!

"Helllooo...Beeckkkyyy..." Kuwabara's voice brought me back from Romeo and Juliet mode and back into reality. As did his fist gently knocking on my head. "Huh?" I said in confusion. He stared at me. "You just kind of zoned out. Like your brain stopped or something."

"Like what your brain does on a daily basis?" Yusuke said with a snicker. Kuwabara turned on him. "What was that Yurameshi! You talkin' about me!" Yusuke gave him a look that said, 'Gawd you're stupid.' "Who ELSE would I be talking about stupid?" Kuwabara looked ready to rip Yusuke's head off, when Kurama got between them. "Now calm down you two! Can't you be nice to each other for a FEW minutes?"

I watched them in amusement. It was obvious they had been friends for a long time. And though I was thrilled to meet some of Kurama's friends, I was disappointed that I wasn't going to get any time alone with him.

...speaking of which, I wonder where Mr. Scary-I'll-Kill-You-If-You-Cough-In-My-Presence-Midget-Man is...

Then I remembered what Yusuke had said earlier.

'Fine fine...I don't even know why Koenma made us come with you on your date!'

Koenma?...who's Koenma? And why did he make Yusuke and Kuwabara come with Kurama?...Why did he ruin my date with Kurama! Why can't he just leave me and my love alone! WHO IS THIS MAN THAT HAS FORCED THESE TWO MEN UPON US! OH! I will SMOKE him!
