Kuwabara sat in his assigned desk which was, thankfully, across the room from Urameshi's. Every so often Kuwabara would glare over at Urameshi, who was staring out the window obviously ignoring what the teacher was saying.
"Okay everyone, time for recess," Mrs. Tanaka said.
The kids happily got out of their chairs and lined up at the door, waiting to go out to the playground, except for Kuwabara and Yusuke. Mrs. Tanaka had told them that because they had gotten in a fight the day before, they wouldn't be given a recess.
So Kuwabara sat at his desk with nothing to, his greatest foe just across the room.
The minutes seemed to take forever to go by; Mrs. Tanaka just sat at her desk reading. Kuwabara sighed. Did punishments always have to be so absolutely boring? To Kuwabara that was the worst part; having to sit still and do nothing.
Kuwabara glanced over at Urameshi again, and caught the other boy looking at him. Urameshi stuck his tongue out at Kuwabara, who quickly looked away. Kuwabara glanced at Urameshi again, and he twisted his face into another funny expression. Kuwabara had to bite his lip to keep from smiling; samurai did not smile at their enemies.
Urameshi pulled down the bottom of his eyes and crossed his eyes. Kuwabara snorted, it wasn't a laugh, and thought, I can do better than that.
Kuwabara pushed up his nose, rolled his eyes and wiggled his ears (a feat that Kuwabara was certain Urameshi couldn't copy). The two boys engaged in a silent face making contest, and Kuwabara was having fun despite himself.
I'm still going to defeat him, Kuwabara thought. He'd just prove he was the better face maker first.
Through it all, Mrs. Tanaka never said a word.
