"Y-You plan to marry her?" Kurama couldn't have sounded more gobsmacked if he tried, Yusuke noted in amusement as he continued walking. Giving Kurama ample time to recover before he came running up behind him and asked again in a more insistent tone.
"You plan to marry her?"
Yusuke flashed him a grin. "Isn't that the normal outcome of wooing someone?"
"You're wooing her?" Kurama's normally silky voice went up so much that he half choked half squeaked out the words causing the spirit detective to snicker at him.
His dark eyes alight with mischief as they reached the floral shop and Yusuke turned his attention back to his current task rather than satiating Kurama's curiosity and after spending several moments hand picking the flowers he intended to hand to Yuki in a little while, he and Kurama left the shop to head back to the hotel.
Where the fox disappeared, running for the elevator as if his tail were on fire or something.
Leaving Yusuke to his own vices for a little while. Which was fine, the date would start in another ten minutes or so. So whatever it was that had had Kurama running like the hounds of hell were nipping at his heels had better get done quickly. Otherwise Yusuke would be going on his date sans the parental supervision of his demonic teammates.
Looking down at the bouquet of flowers that he had painstakingly selected, he really hoped that she liked what he had picked out for her. The only other person he had ever picked out flowers for had been his late sister.
His late baby sister- now she had been a sunflower gal.
Yuki, though, she looked to him more like a lily girl.
Which was why the main flowers in the bouquet were pink tiger lilies surrounded by sweet smelling lavender scented roses, some cornflower blue bachelor buttons, baby's breath and some greenery. All in all it was a rather nice- if bigger than expected- bouquet.

"Are you sure that you wish to do this Yuki?" Toya asked again for what must have been the umpteenth time in the past few minutes since she and the rest of her friends had entered the elevator to go downstairs to the dining area of the hotel.
Each dressed in their finest clothing so that they wouldn't accidentally embarrass her.
Why even Chu and Rinku had taken baths and changed into suits with ties for the occasion! Ties for gods sake. And despite the fact that they both looked impressive all decked out as they were, Yuki couldn't help but think that this date was a disaster waiting to happen.
Partially because Jin was in a fairly foul mood after Toya had told them that he had caught Kurama spying on her earlier. That and he probably intended to hold the actions of Yusuke's teammate against him. Whereas the others somehow managed to wrangle a promise out of him to at least make an attempt to act civilly while they all ate dinner with Urameshi.
"Yes," She finally replied before quickly tacking on. "Please stop asking that, you're starting to make me feel nervous." Jin put his hands up, palms out, in a placating gesture deciding that he had asked her enough to make sure that she wasn't having second thoughts about this...date with the Urameshi boy.
"Very well, I'll no ask again Yuki-girl." Jin said as he dropped his arms as the elevator came to a stop after finally reaching the ground floor with a ding mere seconds before the doors slid open.
The group stepped out of the elevator and started walking towards the dining area, despite the fact that they were about five minutes or so early- and they weren't expecting anyone to already be waiting on them. So naturally it was a little bit of a surprise when Urameshi came into view, wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of nice flowers.
The moment the young human's dark eyes locked on their Yuki and he smiled at her, their girl almost damn near tripped over her own feet from shock. Causing all of them to reach out and grasp her wrists and arms to automatically steady her so that she didn't wind up falling and accidentally injuring herself or the baby as Urameshi started walking towards them and came to a stop not even three feet from their Yuki-girl.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked, trying hard to hide his concern behind his excitement. But both emotions were at the moment, oddly at war within him, and his concern was quickly killing whatever excitement he had been feeling towards the date as he thought that perhaps he should have asked for a more comfortable and less stress free setting.
Like her friends hotel room for their date.
It wasn't like he would have expected them to be alone anyways. Not with the somewhat dark looks he was getting from Toya and the red haired demon with the horn standing just behind Yuki, anyways. The group was far too protective of her and simply either didn't like him or care that he was trying to weasel his way into her affections.
Yuki seemed to freeze up as she looked up at Yusuke, her pale face coloring a fetching shade of soft pink to show her embarrassment at being seen in such a way.
Tripping over one's feet like a fool just wasn't a good way to make a good impression.
Yusuke noted the stiffness of her spine and limbs and cleared his throat before saying, "Here. This is yours." As he held out the bouquet for her to take. She reached for it slowly. Very slowly. Almost as if she were worried that he might try and grab her or something.
This worried Yusuke, though he kept his thoughts to himself as Yuki said a polite thank you and buried her face in the flowers for a moment as Yusuke offered his arm to her and politely asked if he could escort her to their table. Yuki dropped the bouquet away from her face a little bit so that she could smile at him as she reached out and took the arm that he kindly and patiently offered.
Once her hand was settled on his arm, he gave her a charming smile and then began to lead her and the others into the hotel dining area where the restaurant was as he easily chatted with Chu who had asked if he would be eating alone with them.
Yusuke was completely honest with them. He was expecting at least a few of his teammates or friends to show up- but at the moment they likely were busy either hunting someone down or trying to get ready.
