Kuwabara was going to the park to meet his friends when he saw Urameshi ducking into an alley. Curious, Kuwabara decided to follow him.
Kuwabara went into the alley, but didn't see Urameshi. Kuwabara went to the end of the alley and looked behind the buildings, where he spotted Urameshi holding something in his hands.
"What are you doing?" Kuwabara asked.
Urameshi jumped, clutching whatever was in his hands close to his chest. He glared at Kuwabara. "Don't sneak up on me like that!"
Kuwabara shrugged. "What are you doing?" he asked again.
"It's none of your business," Urameshi snapped.
That really made Kuwabara curious. "I'm not leaving until you tell me."
Urameshi rolled his eyes. "Fine," he said. He showed Kuwabara what he'd been hiding; a half empty pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"You can smoke?" Kuwabara asked, awed. His own father smoked every once in a while, but Kuwabara wasn't allowed to mess with Mr. Kuwabara's cigarettes.
"Well, no, I'm not allowed to smoke," Urameshi said, "but my mom smokes all the time so I figured I'd try it."
"Oh," Kuwabara said. He paused for a moment. "Can I try one too?"
Urameshi shrugged and handed one over. "Sure, I guess."
Urameshi got one for himself and lit them. Kuwabara nervously watched the smoke curl up from the cigarette and then he put it to his lips and inhaled the way he'd seen his father do.
The smoke tasted foul and burned his lungs, causing Kuwabara to double over coughing. His stomach rolled, and Kuwabara was afraid he was going to be sick. Urameshi didn't look to be faring any better than Kuwabara was.
"Uh, thanks for that, but I just remembered I've got to meet the guys," Kuwabara said. He had decided that cigarettes were overrated.
AN: Underage smoking is bad! Don't Try This At Home! And for those of you celebrating, Happy Easter!
