Another new story- Things unexpected
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho
Part II
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
When the meeting was over, as always there was a mingling session where everyone was forced to talk to each other as if it was a world of peace and also as if everyone had great relationship with each other. Kurama walked over to Yusuke and Keiko as he was explaining to her the reason of the meeting and who the intimidation mostly S-class youkais were.
"It's good to see you this time Keiko." He started as he smiled at her.
"Kurama, you look nice as always. It is so good to see a familiar face in this part of the woods." She smiled as she released Yusuke arm as if finally noticing that it was safe to do so.
"Thank you, and you seem as flawless as always. Maybe I should visit you to know what is about Tourin that keeps you looking so radiant." He said flattering but meant every word of it.
"Kurama please. You don't even look a day above twenty, just like Yusuke. You two and your genes." She said but laughed and Yusuke joined in. Keiko was able to reside in Makai seeing that she was mated with Yusuke. Sharing a lifelong spiritual bond such as a mating bond, allows both of them to reside together for as long as the Yusuke was alive, leaving her with a lengthy life span.
"Keiko, I will always be handsome, so you have no other choice but to keep up." He grinned and she jabbed her elbow in his rib to shut him up.
"Insensitive jerk." She growled to herself and smiled as she landed a good blow to his side who just laughed it off as always.
"Oi, there's Hiei. Why doesn't he come over? HIEI!" Yusuke yelled out. Luckily everyone was aware of Yusuke's various discourtesies not to be taken by surprise by his outburst.
Cringing slightly by such a loud call of his name, Hiei turned and glared at Yusuke from his quiet corner. Walking over to the group, he stood there, away from the detective's woman, between Yusuke and Kurama.
"What was so important that you had to scream out my name like a banshee."He growled as he glared at him.
"Awe, you haven't changed a bit, you see that's why I love you." Yusuke grinned as he tried to hug him, but ended up almost embracing the hard cold floor as Hiei stepped away from his grasp. Kurama and Keiko just laughed at the scene. The only one missing was Kuwabara and it would have been old times all over again. Suddenly, they all stopped their friendly chatter and looked cautiously when Yomi approached them. He handed Kurama a glass of wine but he cleverly denied it. With very little chatter thereafter, Yomi left their presence never wanting to disrupt Kurama when he did get to be with his friends.
"I didn't know you stop drink?" Yusuke said quickly as he watched Yomi walked towards an insignificant person while drinking the wine that was intending for Kurama.
"I have not stopped completely, I just would rather not have one now." Came Kurama's blatant reply.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
When the social was over, there was another mini meeting and then everyone left. The social was the last chance Kurama had an opportunity to talk to his friends about his new discovery but time forbade it.
"Maybe next time." He sighed as he walked to his room, forgetting Yomi was besides him.
"Next time for what?" He questioned kindly as he turned towards Kurama's direction. Kurama intelligently came up with a ruse.
"I hope that next time I can have more time with them since I see them only when a meeting is held." Kurama answered back brilliantly.
"About a month ago, a week after our last meeting, you and Yusuke visited Hiei in Alaric. I forgot to ask but how was that? How is Mukuro in a domestic setting?" He smiled very amused with whatever picture that was conjured up in his head.
"It was well. I used my limited and valuable time with Yusuke and Hiei. I cared not to entertain her presence when not needed." He replied as he stopped when he reached his door. Making a quick bid goodnight he left Yomi outside to wonder what just happened.
'If I don't do that I would have to come up with a lie as to why I always reject his offer… again.' He sighed to himself as he walked across his large spacious apartment like room to the bathroom as he prepared to wash away the stress the day brought upon him.
'I know his interest lies deeper than just wanting me here as an advisor, yet I stay.' Kurama release a long audible breath as he dressed himself and could not help as he looked at himself in the mirror, and wonder how he would appear a few months from now. The fact did seem less daunting now as it finally registered as oppose to earlier when he was alone. He played with the shirt of his pyjama humorously as he pulled it away from his stomach, and here people thought he was not capable of less than diligent actions. Realising that his clothes will only fit him for the next few month, he thought of a way to get bigger ones.
'Speaking of, this means I should confess the secrets of my life before to make things easier.' He thought as he rubbed his flat stomach. 'We never directly talked about having one but it seems as if the decision was made for us. Let's hope you're a boy for his sake.' Kurama smiled as he crawled into bed where he grabbed his communicator to call Yusuke and Hiei. They needed to know before anyone else does. Calling Hiei first, there was no answer, calling again and again but he was met with the same fate. Calling Yusuke next, the same thing occurred. Giving up knowing that Yusuke was probably with Keiko and Hiei was either with Mukuro, getting a lecture, or sparring after receiving a lecture about what is expected of him for the future of Alaric.
Relaxing back in his bed, Kurama pulled out the necklace from under his pyjama and smiled as he stared at the round bluish pendant. Caressing it gently, he rested back above his heart and lured himself to a restful night's sleep.
