well it took forever but finally at long last... here is my newest chapter! enjoy!
It was strange going back to school, it felt like an eternity, when it had only been a week. Akira had stayed at Kurama's the whole time, and to his delight, had not even been informed of having to suddenly move, not the faintest hint. Akira reveled in his and Kurama's new, stronger relationship and being in his presence felt like a treat. The whole gang knew of their relationship, but worried about what would happen if anyone else found out.
"So um, you guys are gonna keep your little, relationship, to yourselves right? I mean, for your sake, and reputations."
"Yueske, that's not really up to you, now is it? But if you insist I see no reason to reveal our relationship to anyone, it is none of their business." Yueske sighed, it was true but he couldn't help concern himself with it. Back at school they were in for a shock, having one of the most popular students gone for that long garnered some attention at his return.
"Hey Minamono-kun is back! " a group of girls screamed as the ran towards the group.
"Hey your fan girls missed you buddy!"
"Minamono-san! Why have you been gone? Were you sick? Did you get injured? Did you win the lottery?" these and many other random comments and questions were heaped upon the exasperated demon-turned-human boy as he tried to get to class.
"Ladies, ladies! Please I must get to class! You must move! I know you were worried I'm fine! I was taking care of Akira, he wasn't feeling well! Please I must get to class! Move!" he said pushing his way through the sea of fan girls. He was separated from his friends on his way to class but had to keep going to get there on time, but as he did the girls realized his escape just in time to hear the first bell, and dissipated quickly, leaving the rest of the gang dumbfounded and floundering to get to their own class on time.
"Sheesh those fan girls are crazy," Akira noted out loud, then finished "but sorry girls ,he's mine" in his head.
"We'd better get going I don't wanna be late!" Kuwabara yelped as they scattered.
In the hall way on his way to his next class, the one before lunch, a large group of the, "Shuichi Minamono fan club" girls cornered Akira.
"Look albino boy, I don't care if you're his friend or not, no ones allowed to keep him from school and his adoring fans, he has a reputation you know!" said one girl.
"Yeah, and no 'nobody' is gonna keep him away! If he has to take care of someone it had better be one of us!" the girls carried on.
"Hey girls leave Akira alone, it wasn't his fault he got sick and shuichi took care of him, it was shuichi's choice so beat it. You have to get to class anyway." Yueske said, telling off the girls, but not before one of their leaders warned Akira off.
"We'll finish this later, boy" she said looking at him smugly.
"They really are crazy."
"Imagine how'd they'd take it if they knew the truth!" he snickered ushering Akira to his class. Akira didn't mention the encounter with the girls to Kurama, but Kurama did notice the looks his so-called fan club was tossing his frail lover, and how he seemed to cowered away and withdraw like he did in the old days. It worried Kurama.
When lunch rolled around Akira lagged behind Kurama, getting caught in the bathroom. Escaping one set of girls he was then confronted as soon as he was out of the lunch line.
"Well if its not the little albino boy who kept our beloved Minamono-kun home for a week!"
"What were you so sick with you had to be taken care of?" the girls taunted
"I was injured."
"By what? You stand in the light too long?"
"Who are you to keep Shuichi home anyway? What makes you so special.
"He's my boy friend." Kurama had noticed the commotion and was there in a flash to save his lover. "As a matter of fact he's my lover, and I choose to stay with him last week because I love him." he declared loudly and clearly, pulling Akira close to him. "and if any of you object to us, well I sincerely don't care." he finished.
"Oh I get it! Your joking! Your just trying to protect your friend! Oh Minamono-san your so noble!"
"I am not joking! What I said is true, and I will prove it." he declared pulling Akira into a warm comforting kiss, in the middle of the cafeteria.
"Oh my god! You kissed him? He kissed Akira! They really are together!" a voice from the middle of the group spoke up, followed by a round of loud murmurs.
"If you really are my so called fans... you will respect my decision! If not, then I don't care, my heart belongs to Akira, and that it final." hysterical sobbing could be heard from the girls, and some nervous whispering could be heard form the guys. While Yueske just shook his head.
"He came right out and said it! I cant believe he came right out and said it! His rep is ruined."
As Kurama accepted the fact that he was probably to be shunned by everyone now he had a shock.
"We're behind you Minamono! We're together too!" cried another popular pair of boys from the crowd.
"And I think its great that your standing up for your love! Wait-a-go !" cried out a sobbing girl.
"Go Shuichi! Go Akira!" the crowd chanted, just as the teachers came in and broke the group apart."
"Listen up students, return to your lunch now, I repeat return to your lunch now! That is all."
"sniff good luck Akira! I'm sorry if I was mean, I always kind of liked you. You guys make a great couple!" a girl with pig tails said sweetly, giving them both a hug.
"Well Akira, now what? What else could possibly happen?"
'I dunno, but my life just keeps getting more interesting around you guys... there's no telling what's gonna happen!"
After the commotion with Kurama and Akira the pair got mixed looks, some of unbelief, some of disgust and some of total acceptance, but they didn't really care, they were happy.
"Hey fella's! Lets have a coming out party for these two!" keiko stated as they left the school building at the end of the day.
" keiko I don't know if thats the best ide..." Kurama started, only to be cut off.
"Well I don't mean a party party, just us, the five of us, celebrating... at Kurama's place!"
"Why is it always my place?"
"Because you have lotsa stuff we can mess with!" Kuwabara added happily.
"And you and Akira won't have to walk home, you can just go to bed when we leave!"
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"I mean, well uhhhhh I don't know!" Yueske finally admitted.
"okay, my place, but we have to swing by Akira's okay?. He needs some change of clothes, I think he's gonna stay with me for a while, and im sure there's stuff he needs to check on."
"Well all right... we'll go strait to your place and get stuff set up, but hurry okay? After all, you two are the guests of honor!" keiko said with a wave as they headed off to Kurama's and Akira and him went to his place.
On there way Kurama noticed Akira looked visibly shaken.
"What's the matter love? Our coming out get you nervous?"
"No... im worried I'll find a note at home that says 'you must depart immediatly' thats all."
"I hope not, you have friends now, ones that can protect you... you'll be fine." he reassured, rubbing his shoulders gently.
"Okay Kurama, im sure your right, now lets get my stuff and get back to your place.
"All right! I've got snacks and games and all sorts of stuff! Won't those two be happy!"
"You are way to into this, I just wanted to get drunk..." Yueske protested as keiko scooped up the chips and dumped tem into a bowl.
"Ffffft men." moments later the guests of honor arrived, with Akira in the best mood they'd seen him all day.
"Hey you two! Ready to party?"
"Okay! But not too late, after all its only Tuesday!" Akira noted cheerfully
"Technicalities! Come on lets get drunk!"
"Hey why are you so chipper now?"
"Oh no reason..." Akira answered, but the truth was, no note or letter awaited him. What he didn't know, was his life was about to change again, because very soon, he was going to have to be introduced to the spirit deductive's boss, Koenma.
oooooo hes gotta meet Koenma? whats gonna happen? you'll just have to wait! i hope you liked it and please review!
