UrameshiYusuke
---------------------------
As a new student at your God forsaken school, I hated everyone, especially you. You always acted like a smart ass to me and threw things at me during class. I really wanted you to disappear off the face of the earth. We argued and fought all the damn time and if it weren't for certain complications at home, I'd dispose of you as soon as I had the chance. Nevertheless, deep down, I actually wanted to know why it was you treated me so rudely. Why was it that out of all the new kids, you picked on me? You were the worst person to be around and I wanted nothing to do with you whatsoever. Yet, I found myself following you from class to class and even after school. I wanted to know more about you. I wanted to try...Getting to know you.
Yusuke sat in his usual spot at the top of the school. A sigh of boredom escaped his lips as he lay back, resting his head on his hands. He felt so tired and exhausted from a lack of sleep. Every time for the past month he tried to sleep, he would hear the same two people bickering and fighting about something different. Sometimes it would be about other people and others it would be about each other. It was driving him crazy and he couldn't sleep at night because of it, but one thing he had noticed was that on the days he spoke to Hiei, he had those dreams. The school bells rang a warning that class was about to start and students rushed into the school and to their classrooms. Every student but Yusuke, who remained on the top of the school, lazily drifting into an uncomfortable sleep. He attempted to fight this strong urge, but his body refused. His heavy eyelids closed and he fell asleep.
Nothing. Just black. Silence was everywhere now.
"What?" Yusuke thought as nothing happened.
"Yusuke." Said a distant voice.
"What is it?" Yusuke asked lazily.
"Wake up."
"Why?"
"Because. School has started."
Yusuke opened his brown eyes and looked into a pair of crimson ones.
"Hey, Hiei." Yusuke yawned.
"We aren't friends. Don't talk like we are." Hiei said shortly.
"Why not?" Yusuke asked as he sat up. "I've known you long enough to call you one."
"No you haven't." Hiei said as he began to walk away.
"Aw, c'mon, Hiei." Yusuke grinned.
"Shut up. We're gonna be late to class."
Yusuke stretched and stood up. "Hey Hiei, why don't you make any friends?"
Hiei turned around and stared at Yusuke. "What do you mean?"
"I mean you're so anti-social, why don't you make a friend for a change?" Yusuke said as he walked over to his peer.
"Are you asking me to be your friend? Are you too much of a pain to make your own?" Hiei said with a rude grin.
"Shut up. It's not like that. I have a friend." Yusuke muttered.
"And you consider that ape man your friend?" Hiei asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Yea. You got a problem with that?" Yusuke asked as he leaned against a nearby wall.
"Tch. What do I care? Friends are just a crutch for the weak. I need no such things." Hiei said as he began walking away again.
As if picked up by a gust of wind, Yusuke appeared behind Hiei with his arm around his neck.
"Ha. Everyone needs friends. And if you don't want to ask me, I'll tell you. You and me, we're gonna be the best of friends, alright?" Yusuke laughed.
"Get off of me, Yusuke!" Hiei said as he pushed against his peer to get him away.
"Aww. Is poor wittow Hiei scaowd of a fwend?" Yusuke said in a baby voice as he tried to jokingly kiss him.
Hiei growled and held his fist up to punch Yusuke, but he let go just before Hiei struck. Hiei stared at the crazy fool and oddly resisted the urge to walk away.
"What was the point of that!" Hiei asked, clenching his teeth together.
"It's something called fun, you oddball." Yusuke smiled.
"I know what fun is, you moron. I meant what was the point of acting so stupid?" Hiei asked with a glare.
"Friends do stuff like that." Yusuke shrugged. "That's why it's funny. It's just pointless if you do it alone."
"And if I never wanted to have a friend to do something stupid like that?"
"Tch. Quit being so simple-minded, Hiei. Everyone has a friend. Even if it is one. Like me. I have you and Kuwabara." Yusuke smiled.
"Two. Whoop die do." Hiei said sarcastically.
"Hey, you're a poet and didn't know it." Yusuke laughed.
"Lemme guess, you don't get it do you?" Yusuke asked, his smile fading.
"Get what?" Hiei asked.
"You're pulling my leg." Yusuke said as he sat down.
"I'm not even touching you, Yusuke." Hiei said as he shook his head and stared at Yusuke like he was stupid.
"..." Now it was Yusuke's turn to stare. "Okay, Hiei. Lemme tell you what sarcasm is."
"What are you, now? My teacher?" Hiei asked as he walked to the door of the roof.
"C'mon. You're gonna need to know what to do in order to fit in with the rest of us." Yusuke smiled.
"I may be new, but I'm not stupid, Yusuke."
"Okay then, tell me how long you've been among humans." Yusuke said with a grin.
"What are you getting at?" Hiei said as he walked back to Yusuke.
"Come, come, sit, sit." Yusuke said as he pulled the crimson-eyed boy to him.
Hiei sat down across from Yusuke and stared at him boredly.
"Tell me what you mean about fitting in with humans." Hiei said flatly.
"Whoa, whoa. What are you, my master or something?" Yusuke laughed.
"Okay, okay, sourpuss. What I meant was. I know that you aren't human. I can tell simply by looking at you. That's why you don't make friends here in the human world; because you're demon. But I'm your friend now. People will just think that you're a delinquent cause you're my friend." Yusuke said as he rested a hand on the demon's shoulder.
Hiei jerked his shoulder from Yusuke's hand and stared.
"Yusuke; what makes you so sure that I am a demon?" Hiei asked smartly.
Yusuke stared at Hiei for a serious moment and then laughed heartily. Hiei simply looked at Yusuke quizzically as he laughed madly.
"What makes you so sure that you're not?" Yusuke laughed, whipping a tear from his eye.
"This is pointless." Hiei said as he stood up and walked away.
"Alright, do what you want to. But when everyone else starts suspecting you not human and the demon hunters show up, you'll wanna come back. Trust me. Everyone who's a demon does." Yusuke said with a shrug.
Hiei ignored him and walked back into the school, Yusuke following after him.
"Why are you following me?" Hiei asked as they descended down a flight of stairs.
"We have the same classes together. So why should I not follow you?" Yusuke asked smartly.
"Hn." was his only response.
The two walked together in silence, the only sound were their footsteps on the tile floor as they made their way to class. Neither looked at each other nor said a word as they made it up to their classroom doorway. They stood before the door for a matter of seconds before Yusuke said something.
"Hiei."
"I love you." Yusuke said as he opened the door of the classroom.
The whole class turned to the opened door to see Yusuke and a toothy grin painted across his face as he walked in, Hiei following behind him looking short tempered and feeling duped. The classroom laughed loudly at the site.
"Now, now class, settle down." said Ms. Ueda. "Nice of you to join us, Mr. Urameshi, Mr. Jaganshi."
"Yea, yea. You just couldn't get enough of me." Yusuke said as he made his way to his seat.
"Yusuke, enough games. I had to send Mr. Jaganshi here to go and get you. Please come to class when you hear the bell ring." Ms. Ueda said softly.
"Whatever." Yusuke said as he looked out the window.
"Thank you, Mr. Jaganshi. You may take your seat now." Ms. Ueda said as she walked to the black board.
Hiei said nothing and walked directly to his seat without a word. Ms. Ueda began class as soon as Hiei took his seat. Students pointed and whispered to each other about Yusuke and Hiei.
"I bet he beat up poor Hiei-sempai." whispered one girl.
"Yusuke's so mean. Why would be beat up Hiei-sama?" whispered another.
"Ugh. I really don't like that Urameshi kid." said a classmate.
Hiei flashed a gaze to Yusuke only to find him sleeping away. Hiei pouted and rested his chin on his hand boredly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yusuke awoke just as the school bells began to ring. Hiei sat in his desk patiently and waited for Yusuke to leave the room. When Yusuke's green uniform disappeared from sight, Hiei stood and was gone.
"So, Urameshi, what's new with Hiei?" Kuwabara asked as they walked home.
"He's my friend now." Yusuke smiled.
"No way, really?" Kuwabara asked, looking at Yusuke.
"Really. He didn't have any, so I made him my friend." Yusuke said with a toothy grin.
"But when he first came here, you said he'd kill you if he had the chance." Kuwabara protested.
"Yea, but that was at the beginning of the school year. What would it kill to talk to him now? I mean, he can barely take the time to punch me, so what would it kill?" Yusuke replied.
"So you mean to say that he can't fight?" Kuwabara questioned as he came to a stop.
"No, he can fight, he just refrains from it for some reason." Yusuke said, stopping too.
"Okay, I think my brain just broke. You're making no sense." Kuwabara said as he held his temples with his index and middle fingers.
"Well then, why don't you try to be his friend too, Kuwabara. I mean, what's the worse that could happen?" Yusuke said as he walked away.
"Whatever, man." Kuwabara said as he walked in his own direction. "C'ya later."
"Okay." Yusuke said as he walked home.
Yusuke slowed his walking pace and made a detour away from his path. He began to make his way to his favorite park where he had hung out so many times before. He sat on his bench and waited for a mere moment before speaking.
"So how much longer are you gonna follow me?" Yusuke asked into the empty park.
There was a complete silence as the wind began to blow, as if to respond to Yusuke's call.
"C'mon. I know that you're there." Yusuke said boredly.
The wind blew in a fresh gust and Hiei appeared before him, staring like he always did; with his crimson eyes at a slight glare. Yusuke smiled.
"Man, Hiei. Who would a thought that you were a stalker this whole time." Yusuke chuckled.
"Shut up, Yusuke. I've told you before. We aren't friends, so don't talk to me like we are." Hiei said sharply.
"Hiei, Hiei. I've told you before that I am your friend, weather you like it or not." Yusuke said, ignoring Hiei's tone. "So why were you following me?"
"I-…I-just…You….You live in the same direction as me, that's all." Hiei said as he looked away.
"So from school to the park, huh?" Yusuke grinned. "Man, you suck at lying."
"I am not lying." Hiei said, looking at Hiei with his cold little glare.
"Sure. I believe you." Yusuke said as he threw his hands behind his head and gave a slight chuckle.
"Hn." Was his only response.
"So Hiei. What kind of demon are you?" Yusuke asked as he closed his eyes.
"I'm telling you; I'm not a demon!" Hiei said aggravatedly.
"You can drop the lies. You've been following me since the day we met. And trust me. You're a lousy stalker." Yusuke said as he laid down on the bench.
"Whatever." Hiei said as he rolled his crimson eyes.
"So why are you here?" Yusuke said, changing the subject.
"No reason." Hiei said.
"Huh. So, friend,what's new?" Yusuke asked with a yawn.
"…"
"Okay, okay. So, Hiei, what are you going to do now?" Yusuke asked sleepily.
"…"
"Okay, then. Ignore me." Yusuke said as he began to drift to sleep.
Silence took over the park as the sun slowly set. Hiei stared at Yusuke as he drifted to sleep. Hiei glared at Yusuke and took a single step forward.
"Yusuke?" Hiei asked quietly.
"Hm?" Yusuke replied, feeling sleep take over.
"I…want to…hang out with you…tomorrow." Hiei said shyly.
Yusuke's eyes shot open and stared into the orange colored sky. 'Did he just ask to hang out? Hiei? The demon?" Yusuke asked himself in thought as he sat up and looked at Hiei.
"Where at?" Yusuke asked as he yawned again.
"Here. At the park. After school." Hiei said.
"After school, huh? Why not during? You don't need to learn what they teach you anyway." Yusuke said with a smile.
"Which period?" Hiei asked, interested.
"How about after school starts? I like to sleep during that period anyway."
"After first period, huh?" Hiei's lips twitched into a small smile.
"A-are you smiling?" Yusuke said with a toothy grin.
"No!" Hiei said his smile disappearing.
"Aw, Hiei, what a kill-joy." Yusuke chuckled.
"Shut up, Yusuke." Hiei said.
"Alright, Hiei. Tomorrow after first hour." Yusuke said as he lay back down onto the bench.
"Hn." Was his only response as he turned and was gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yusuke walked past the school as the first bell rang. Today was going to be a good day. After all, Yusuke was going to hang out with the first friend he had made since Kuwabara. He walked the streets of the city as he made his way to the park. He wondered if Hiei was there at all or just doing…whatever Hiei did until it was time. A small red ball that bumped into his foot interrupted Yusuke's thoughts. He looked down to see a small boy running up to him. Yusuke took hold of the ball and looked at the small child.
"Can I please have my ball?" he asked cutely.
"You shouldn't play around near traffic, okay, kid?" Yusuke said as he knelt down to the boy's height.
The child looked at Yusuke as clueless as a child could. Yusuke stared for mere seconds before he put the ball in front of his own face for a moment and made a funny look, bringing down the ball for the child to see. He repeated this three or four more times with different faces for the kid. After making his final face and waiting for a moment, the child burst into a fit of giggles.
"You're funny!" the little boy laughed as Yusuke handed him his ball.
Yusuke stood upright and watched the boy run off with his ball and begin to play with it again.
"Stupid kid. I just told him not to play around here and yet there he is." Yusuke said as he watched the boy throw the ball against the ground.
The ball ricocheted off the ground and directly into the street with the little boy tailing after it. Yusuke's eyes widened as a car came speeding down the street.
"Look out!" Yusuke yelled as he pushed the child from the path of the car.
Everything went black.
'Hiei…I'm…sorry…'
----------------------------
And thus, this chapter comes to a close. Yes, yes, I know it kinda sounds familiar. Like the first episodes with my own modifications? It is. I never would have thought of it if it weren't for my favorite author Rujutoshi's idea. I figured it wouldn't kill for it to somewhat intertwine with the original story, ya know? Add a twist. Well enough babbling from me. Just expect chapter three of You and Me, soon!
