Yuka's POV
OK, it's five minutes 'til school's over. I need to know why Kurama has two names. And I'm anxious!
"Yo Izumi, you're gonna have to pay for that desk if Sensei sees that and reports it," Kaito whispers to me. I growl in annoyance. He's always trying to talk to me. And what did he mean by that I'll have to pay for the desk?
I look down and- (gasp) Uh oh... I've been scratching the desk! This isn't good...
"Izumi, would you like to come up to the board and write out the answer?" Sensei asks me, looking at me. I nod and put my notebook on top of the markings. I walk slowly up to the board and look at the problem. And this is EXACTLY how it looked like;
'Add and get the right solution while using these;
N/3, I/2, E/9, S/4, V/7, T/1, H/5, R/6, Y/8.
S-E-V-E-N
S-E-V-E-N
S-E-V-E-N
N-I-N-E
T-H-I-R-T-Y'
...
All right, now what the hell was this problem?
"Err... What's this?" I ask Sensei confusingly, pointing to the board. She sighs.
"It's called a cryptarithm. It's a fun math brain teaser," she explains.
"What's a crypta-whatever it's called?" I ask embarrassingly. The class starts to laugh. Sensei sighs.
"A cryptarithm is a math brain teaser which uses letters instead of numbers in a math problem. So, add them." (blink) OK...
...
Why can't the bell ring?!
"Yuka, are you going to answer the problem?" Sensei asks me. I can feel her light brown eyes stare at me.
"Y-yeah..." Errm... I guess I'll answer now... This is my answer...

"Yuka," Sensei says sadly. Aww, I didn't get it right... Well, I should've expected- "Good job! That's correct!"
"No freaking way!" myself and a few students yell out in disbelief. I think one of them was Kaito. Sensei nods at them and motions me to sit back down. I nod and walk swiftly over to my desk and I sit there quietly.
"Now, this will be on your homework for tonight," Sensei starts. The class starts to jeer, as well as myself. It's the weekend! I wanted to show Yuu around town!
"But it's the weekend," a boy named Ichiro cries out.
"Well, if you understand what Yuka did, then it should take less than twenty minutes," Sensei tells him in a firm voice.
"Aww..." he mutters. Sensei then passes out worksheets, with these crypta-crypto-... whatever they're called, out to us.
RIIING!!
"All right, have a wonderful weekend!" Sensei chirps as she gathers up some of her own stuff.
I leave the classroom in a hurry.
"Yo Izuma!" I screech to a stop and turn around. I see Kaito, Ichiro, and two boys named Ryuu and Shin'ichi staring at me.
"Are you goin' to help us with this homework?" Ichiro asks slyly. He has a weird smirk on his face.
"Hold up! I'm not gonna help you guys if you can't even say my last name correctly," I tell them. Shin'ichi chuckles.
"We'll just see about tha- Excuse me, Boys. Are you discussing something important with Miss Izumi?" All five of us jump and look back towards the classroom door. Sensei is standing there with her arms folded.
"N-no," Ryuu says quietly.
"Then skidaddle," she says, whistling. We all nod and leave in different directions; They go straight out the doors and I go to Kurama's locker, wherever it is. I run around the halls, trying to find that unmistakeable red hair.
"Yuka!" I turn around and see him putting his stuff away in the locker. I run over to him and start to pant.
"H-hey, re-remember our d-de-deal," I stutter as I continue my heavy breathing. He flashes me a smile.
"I remember." Then, his smile disappears and he looks a bit... blue.
"What is it- Let's go," he says softly, grabbing my wrist and walking away. (blink) This is a little weird.
Kurama's POV
Geez, I didn't really expect Yuka to remember my promise, but I guess she did. And I will carry out my promise. Now, I need to find a secluded area to show her my real form.
And I know just where to go-
"AHHH!! SHUICHI!!" I stop dead in my tracks and look back. Yuka still walks and she accidently bumps into me. She falls back and lands on her buttox.
"Ow- Shuichi!" I look at Yuka and then look at the girl who called out my human name. It was just Kaoru, and she runs over to Yuka and I, a huge happy grin plastered onto her tanned face.
"Hello Kaoru," I greet, helping Yuka stand up. Her knees buckle, but she sends me a look that says 'I'm all right'.
"Shuichi, would you like to come to my house for supper tonight?" she asks me in a hopeful voice, ignoring Yuka completely. I look at Yuka and gulp.
"Actually, I made plans with Yuka," I explain slowly and quietly. Yuka looks at me and glares at Kaoru. Then, the unthinkable happens.
"So, she's your... girlfriend," Kaoru says in a weird tone. It's like she's trying not to get angered.
"Wait, she isn't a girlfriend," I say frantically. I kind of expect Yuka to get mad at me, but she agrees with me, nodding profusely.
"Yeah, don't get the wrong idea!" Yuka nearly yells. Kaoru's spirit is starting to turn a dark red.
"No, I understand it between you two," she says in a voice that's barely above a whisper. Now what? "So, when did you two start going out?" Then, more of the unthinkable happens. Takashi hears this and guffaws.
"Shuichi Minamino, you fox!" Takashi tells me in a sly voice, patting my back. "You have a girlfriend finally?" Then, everyone who heard this jerks their heads up and stare at me.
"Whoa, Minamino's finally dating," I can hear a few people whisper quietly. Kaoru stomps away as more people start to talk about... You-know-what.
"MINAMINO'S DATIN'!" a boy screams out in disbelief. After a few seconds of whispers and footsteps, Yuka looks around and her dark blue eyes widen as she freezes.
"What's wrong, Yuka?" I ask her gently. She points towards my classroom.
"Your fangirls, that's what's up." I turn to the direction she's pointing to and my eyes widen at the sight. She wasn't kidding. Nearly all the girls in Meioh High are all glaring at Yuka, and they look like they're ready to fight her, as well as Yuka. She gets in a fighting position.
"So, she wasn't lying. You do like Shuichi," Kaoru states in a monotone voice. Her eyelids are half-closed.
"Grr..." Yuka growls, almost like Hiei when he's angry at Kuwabara.
...
This won't end well, will it?
Oooh... OK, I updated again! :D And in case (IN CASE) anyone is wondering how long this story will be, if I answer that, then I might goof up and will have to make the chapters I wrote shorter! -.-º And I already know how the story will end!
SO DON'T ASK THAT DREADED QUESTION, PUH-LEASE!! T-T Oh yeah. And R&R! They keep me goin'!
(Cryptarithm; I'm not even sure if I spelled it right, but my sister (Who's in high school) who I won't name told me to do her math homework :Lazy ¬¬: and cryptarithms were what she was working on. Amazingly, I got all the answers right O.o And I'm not in high school yet!)
