The next day at school, Kuwabara marched up to Urameshi when they went to lunch. Urameshi scowled up at him from his food. "What do you want?"
"From now on, there are going to be rules," Kuwabara said.
"You can't make rules 'cause you keep losing," Urameshi said. "That's cheating."
Kuwabara bristled. "I'm not cheating! The rules are for both of us!"
Urameshi crossed his arms. "Kay, what are they then?"
"No fighting at school," Kuwabara said. "If we're going to fight, we have to do it after we leave school."
"You started both the fights here," Urameshi pointed out.
Kuwabara blushed, knowing Urameshi was right. "Well, that's not going to happen anymore!"
"What are the other rules?" Urameshi asked.
"No one else is allowed to get involved in our fights," Kuwabara said. "It's just me and you, no one else."
Urameshi nodded. "Anything else?"
"If one of us surrenders, we stop," Kuwabara said.
Urameshi seemed to think about this. Finally he nodded. "I can agree to that." He held out his hand, and Kuwabara shook it.
Kuwabara went back to eat with his friends, feeling proud of himself. He'd lain out the rules just like his father had said to, and Urameshi had agreed to them without a fuss. This way, according to his dad, they wouldn't get in so much trouble for their fights.
Kuwabara was actually a bit surprised that Urameshi had agreed to the rules so easily. He'd expected Urameshi to refuse anything that he suggested. The fact that Urameshi hadn't made Kuwabara respect him, just a little.
I guess Urameshi's not a bad enemy to have.
