Shizuru apparently wasn't speaking to Kuwabara after she got home, and Kuwabara was irritated enough to not care. Instead he found himself thinking about the date, and the kiss, and wondering why anyone would want to do something like that. What was so appealing about girls anyway?
Kuwabara gave this thought great consideration. He didn't really know girls outside of Shizuru, and she was his sister so she didn't count. The only girl he even halfway knew was Yukimura, and that was only because she hung out with Urameshi all the time. Kuwabara tried to imagine kissing her, and couldn't.
"I'm home!"
Kuwabara perked up at the sound of his dad's voice. He dashed out of his room to greet him. "Welcome home Dad!"
Mr. Kuwabara hugged him and grinned. "How was your day?"
"Fine," Kuwabara said. Then he blurted out what was on his mind. "Why do guys and girls kiss?"
"What?" Mr. Kuwabara asked, startled.
"Why do guys and girls kiss?" Kuwabara repeated.
Mr. Kuwabara eyed him, as if considering something particularly tricky. "Well…Guys and girls kiss if they like each other."
Kuwabara frowned. "So, if I had a friend that was a girl, I'd want to kiss her?"
"Not necessarily," Mr. Kuwabara said. "You'd only want to kiss someone that you really liked. A girl you were thinking about marrying maybe."
"Oh," Kuwabara said. Then his eyes widened. "Shizuru's going to marry Shiro?"
"What?" Mr. Kuwabara thundered. "Shizuru kissed Shiro?"
That…probably wasn't good.
