i know you've been waiting so here it is! the next chappy! weeeee! woo hoo! tell me waht you think!
The boys jaws dropped at the sight of the blue haired woman.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Yueske said stunned and annoyed.
"Well Koenma says a large magical power has entered japan recently, they didn't know it was here until they got word that some creature that is after it was spotted."
"Some creature? Like a demon?" Kurama asked
" they don't know, its just that this creature has searched for the source for many years."
"What is this power? And why couldn't we sense it?"
"We don't know that, its apparently very powerful, and some how can be cloaked, thats all I know anyway."
"So, Koenma wants us to find this mysterious power, and all we know is its in japan?" Kuwabara said dumbstruck.
"Not exactly, we know its within fifty miles of this city."
"Well that narrows it down." Yueske rolled his eyes.
"Your gonna have to try, if it falls to the wrong hands, who knows what will happen." during the whole time she was talking Kurama began to worry about his frail friend, how would Akira do if he suddenly couldn't be around to protect him? Those bullies were always after him, and if he had to blow him off, then what? Would he go back to that frail shell of a person he was when they met?
"Kurama? Are you paying attention?' Boton asked
" hm? Oh yes, huge power, somewher within 50 miles of here, got it."
"Okay, just making sure you got it."
"How am I gonna do this and help Akira?" Was all Kurama could think as boton finished.
"So, boton? We have school, and homework, how are we gonna find this, whatever by ourselves with no real clue as to where it might be."
"Thats your problem." she smirked as she prepared to leave.
"Are you sure there is nothing else you can tell us about it?" Kurama pleaded hoping it wouldn't take too long to find it.
"I'm sorry Kurama no, but its dire important that its found before the creature finds it." with that she left with a wink and a nod.
"Awww man! How the hell are we supposed to find it and keep up with school." Yueskes cursed knoking over a clothing rack.
"Not to mention our new friend, he has no idea what we really are, how do we explain it to him?"
"I guess your gonna have to do it Kurama, you two seem to get along better than any of us."
"Your right." he sighed, he really didn't want to do it.
They walked back to where Keiko and Akira were waiting , looking flustered, which made the two nervous.
"So it seems, we're gonna have to cut down on our study sessions Akira." Kurama said quickly, like tearing off a bandaid.
"Oh, okay... why? As something happened?"
"Yeah, we have to do something, and I don't think you should be involved in it, but this doesn't mean we'll stop hanging out and being your friend."
"Yeah,' Kuwabara exclaimed with a smile" once you've eaten a super greese burger, your one of us for life!" Akira smiled at them, but knew secretly that things would be differnt, and he would have to be more careful.
"Well on to other things!" Yueske exclaimed with a clap of his hands that startled everyone.
"Like what?" Keiko cocked her head in a suspicios and curios way.
"Like getting out of here with out getting caught!" kuwabar exclaimed as he started making his way to the door."
"So have they always been destructive idiots?" Akira smiled to Kurama.
"Pretty much."
"I'll say." the now irked girl finished as they watched the buffoons bolt for the door only to get cornered by the mall cops. They then grabbed the cops donut, and ran like hell.
In unison, Kurama, Keiko, Akira, "Idiots"
"So how long do you think they're gonna keep them in there?"
"I don't know, im surprised they haven been banned from the mall yet."
"Poor Keiko, she had to go up there and try and get them out."
"She volunteered"
"I know, but still, why'd she have to fall in love with that doofus?"
"Hehehe, I really don't know Akira." Kurama looked down from the clouds and into Akiras face with a smile. But unlike the last times, felt almost no embarrassment this time, just bliss. Akira was special, different some how, he knew he had to protect him, and he knew he was drawn to him, but he had no idea why. What was it about this meek boy that he was so... attracted to. Was he really, possibly, falling in love with him? Was it possible? He never thought of himself that way, but then he remembered the night before. Was that kiss not just a stupid curios impulse? Was there more to it? He'd shoved it from his mind, but now it wouldn't go away. He sighed and Akira smiled back at him, and unknown to him, Akira was thinking virtually the same things. The quiet albino slid closer across the wall to Kurama's side, who wrapped hisarm around him and refocused his veiw on the sky.
"What the!" the two jumped itn their own skins as they turned to see Keiko looking at them. "Whats all this about?" they pushed apart, embarrassed suddenly and Kurama did something he never did, he became nervous and frantic.
"I um, Keiko, you cant say any thing!"
"About how you guys were, like half hugging?"
"Whatever you want to call it, don't tell anyone! We cant really explain it." Akira shook his head with Kurama and Keiko laughed.
"What tall them? They'd have a hay day with it, but I don't think you guys need that." they sighed "if you guys have some feelings for each other that's your issue, I don't have the right to tell anyone unless your willing to totally accept it."
"Accept it?" Akira said quietly?
"That your gay!" she started snickering
"we're not gay!" they exclaimed together to Keiko.
"We're just, drawn to each other, we cant explain it, so you wont tell?"
"He hehe haaaaaa, no I wont tell, but you guys have got to sort it out, if your ment to be you'll figure it out, although I never thought of you two, either of you, swinging that way."
"Nither did I." Kurama said rubbing his head. "So, what with those two clowns in there?"
"Well, they are gonna stay past closing so they can clean everything up that they messed up, and there only gonna be let back in the mall if they have someone to fully supervise them, and never both together."
"Sounds reasonable" Kurama smiled and Akira rooled his eyes.
"So I guess its home then?"
"Yup Akira, home it is!" with that they left the two trouble makers behind, and took with them, a lot to think about.
well wasnt that great? now thats alot to think about, not only does kurama have to worry about this powerful thing he has to find, but now he has to worry about if his feelings for Akira are true! and he has to keep it a secret! well isn't that just gonna be great! please review! and i am no longer accepting flames, not that ive gotten any that is. well see ya next time! ;p
