What I Learned At Genkai's Temple
Tag-Alongs: Part 2
Jacqie: People really seemed to like the KuramaKit pairing...
Kohari: Well, before we go on, we really should tell them.
Jacqie: Tell who?
Kohari: The readers.
Jacqie: About what?
Kohari: The dedication and the contest.
Jacqie: Oh, yeah. Okay, Ko and I have been deep in deliberation for the past few days -.
Kohari: And we decided to dedicate this chapter to...Sinor!
Cue: CHEER! Yay!
Jacqie: But just to make it fair for the rest of you (You KNOW you want a chapter dedicated to ya...), we also want to host a contest.
Kohari: We seriously need a slogan, so whoever comes up with a cool one for us gets a nice, big dedication in the next chapter.
Jacqie: Well, if they get a big one, don't we need to make Sinor's bigger?
THIS CHAPTER DEDICATED TO: SINOR
Jacqie: Much better. Okay, now for the fic.
Yusuke wasn't hard to find. He was in his room, still hopping around and shouting out "YES!", which could be heard clear down the hall. Kurama, approaching the open door, knocked. Yusuke didn't hear him so Kurama coughed a little to get his attention. It worked.
"Kurama, this is the best day of my life!" Yusuke gushed like a little schoolgirl. "She said 'yes'! Yes!" He did a fist-pump to emphasize.
"Yes, we heard," Kurama muttered, allowing Yusuke to continue with his celebrating.
"So what's up?" Yusuke asked. It had been like a click. One second, he was ecstatic over Keiko, the next, normal.
"I was actually curious about your date," came the reply. "Surely, you weren't going to 'wing it', were you?"
"Uh, no, actually," Yusuke said. "I was gonna do the usual dinner and a movie. Why?"
"Well, the girls were really excited for you," Kurama began, but Yusuke interrupted.
"Ah, man, don't tell me they wanna come?"
"That's precisely it."
"Are you kidding me?" Yusuke whined. "They'll ruin everything!"
"Not quite," Kurama contradicted him. "Kai will not be present. And the others will be under constant supervision from Hiei and myself."
"Say what?" Yusuke couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You guys wanna triple-date?"
"Fox, I've already told you, I'm NOT going," growled an apparition from the other side of the room.
"Hiei, when did you-?"
"Hiei, you know as well as I that nothing will stop those girls from following him," Kurama reasoned. "We know that Kit will do nothing too troublesome while I'm around, but Daphne, I'm sure, I cannot handle alone."
"You won't handle her at all," Hiei mumbled. Only Kurama heard him.
"You'll come then?"
"Hn." The apparition then disappeared.
"So we're triple-dating?" Yusuke checked.
"Correct."
"Oh, man, this is awesome! Kurama's got a girlfriend!" Yusuke couldn't keep from smiling. But it soon vanished. "With one of these girls? Are you crazy? What were you thinking?"
"Yusuke..." Kurama warned.
"Alright, alright." Yusuke put his hands in the air as though being arrested and backed off. "So, dinner and a movie. I was thinking of seeing 'Zombie Invaders IV' (A/N: We have no idea if that's actually a movie. If it is, then we're probably gonna be way off when we talk about it later; we also do not own it. And if it doesn't exist, yay for us.). But I haven't made up my mind where to eat. What do you think?"
"Given the circumstances, I think a fast-food restaurant would be appropriate."
"Which one?"
"I've heard Kit say that she likes Wendy's (remember, we don't it own it - it's called a disclaimer)."
Yusuke wanted to snicker at the fact that Kurama knew Kit's favorite fast-food restaurant, but he knew better.
"So you want Wendy's?"
"I refuse to eat at McDonald's or Burger King (Again, no own) - the sanitation is appalling."
"Alrighty, then. Oh, and we're gonna go see the movie before we eat, so we need to leave before 6:30 - 'Zombie Invaders' starts at 7."
"Agreed."
"Well, see ya later, Kurama." As Kurama was leaving, he shut the door. Momentarily, he heard the shout, "She said 'yes'!"
Daphne stared into the closet as Kit applied her makeup, trying to decide what to wear. "I can't believe Kurama actually convinced Hiei to go," she commented.
"I didn't think it was that weird," Kit replied. "I mean, it's you we're talkin' about."
Daphne glanced at her a moment, then did a double-take. "You're wearing that?" she asked, referring to the white baby tee that Kit was wearing over blue jeans.
"Yes," Kit answered, as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Shouldn't you wear something...I dunno...a little more provocative?"
"You can if you want," Kit told her, finishing with the mascara and affixing gold hoops to her ears.
Kai lay on the bunk bed on the right (There are two bunk beds - one in each corner of the room farthest from the door. There is also a regular bed right beside the door at an angle perpendicular to that of the bunk beds. It was not always like that, so don't let it slip ya up for those reading "Who Said Life Was Simple"), hands behind her head. "Kit doesn't do provocative. Cute is her thing."
"Do you even own anything provocative?" Daphne wondered.
"Not really," came the reply.
"You and I are about the same size; if ya wanna borrow something of mine..." Daphne suggested, still inspecting the closet.
"I'll keep that in mind."
"Just not this shirt," Daphne added, taking her favorite one out of the closet. "Or these jeans. Not those shoes, either. Or these pants."
"Can one of you help me with this necklace?" Kit asked.
"Sure," Kai told her, getting up to help her.
"Hey, that's pretty cool," Daphne complimented.
"Thanks," Kit replied. "I just took one of my bangles and put it on one of my short chains." She slipped the remaining bangles onto her wrist.
"It totally works with that."
"Thanks," Kit repeated herself. "And thank you, too, Kai."
"No problem."
"That still leaves the issue of what I'm gonna wear," Daphne pointed out.
Kit sighed and walked over to the closet. She quickly and somewhat randomly picked out a shirt and a pair of pants and handed them to Daphne.
"That works," Daphne said, amazed that Kit could work like that so fast.
Jacqie: Okay, listen up, everyone, with the exception of Sinor (Of course, it's not like we could stop you from reading this anyway, so read on if you want - hey, wait, we have a little note for you at the bottom - okay, read away!). This should be the part where we ask for reviews, but Ko has something to tell you.
Kohari: I don't wanna tell them.
Jacqie: As readers, they have the right to know.
Kohari: -sigh- Okay. -momentary silence- Do I have to? It's sad.
Jacqie: Yes.
Kohari: -sigh (again)- Alright, everyone. As I'm sure all of you know, GGF is not the only account I write on. I also have my own individual account, called, duh, Kohari. For the past year, I have received very few reviews for my work on that account, and if you haven't read my bio, this will be news to you...
Jacqie: Go on.
Kohari: I'm thinking about shutting down the Kohari account forever.
Jacqie: She'll still be half of GGF, she just wants to close her own account. How stupid is that? So please, y'all, go look at her stuff and tell her she needs to stay on (Thank you, Sinor - you're a big boost of confidence for both of us!). Of course, alotta reviews for us would be nice, too, before you go reviewing for her.
PS: We did a little proofreading, but not much. So, as always, any mistakes you find, let us know!
