"Guess what class?" Mrs. Ichoru said, clapping her hands together one morning. "Today is Valentine's Day! This is a day that we celebrate all the people we love, like our family and friends. So today, I want you all to make a card for someone you care about."
Kuwabara smiled as he folded his piece of paper into a card. He knew all about Valentine's Day. Every year, his dad made a big deal of it, getting lots of gifts for Mrs. Kuwabara. He also gave chocolate to Kuwabara and Shizuru, but it was Mrs. Kuwabara that got the best gifts.
Kuwabara happily colored his card, knowing his mother would be pleased with it. He made a second one for his father, and after some thought, made another for Shizuru (though he wasn't sure if Shizuru would care or not).
"Yusuke, aren't you going to make a card?"
Kuwabara looked over to see that Yukimura girl standing by Urameshi's desk.
"No; it's stupid," Urameshi said.
"Is not!" Kuwabara argued, leaning over his desk to catch Uramehsi's attention. "Valentine's Day is great!"
Urameshi looked down his nose at him. "I wasn't talking to you."
Kuwabara twitched. "Valentine's Day is wonderful," Kuwabara insisted. "It's the time when you get to tell everyone important that they are important!"
"Well, maybe I don't think anyone I know is important enough to get a card!" Urameshi snapped.
There was a soft gasp, and both boys looked to see the hurt cross Yukimura's face. "Well, if you don't have anyone that important…" She walked away.
Silently, Urameshi glared at Kuwabara, and then snatched up a piece of paper and started making a card.
