"Want to bet against me, Yusuke?"
Yusuke gave Kurama a flat look and turned away, intent on ignoring him. "No."
"Are you sure? It's no fun if no one wagers against me…" Kurama allowed his sentence to trail off, leaving a tempting feel to the air.
Yusuke winced and sighed. It wasn't as if he could ever argue against Kurama for long. Out of habit, he ran his tongue and the metal stud attached to it along the roof of his mouth. "Fine, I'll bet against you. What are the stakes?"
Yusuke was still turned away from the fox demon, so he was unable to see the small, triumphant smirk flit across the redhead's face.
---------------------------
Grunting, Yusuke rolled over in his sleep.
"Ouch!" He awoke with a strangled yelp, slapping his hand to his left ear and beginning to massage it gently. He winced as his fingers trailed over the new metal additions to his ear, additions that he couldn't take out for a whole freakin' week!
Desperately wishing he could rip the damn earring out (and that he didn't have such sensitive ears), Yusuke carefully lay back down on his right side. Minutes later he was fast asleep.
Half an hour later found him yelping and bolting up in bed…again.
"Damn you, Kurama!"
