"You two kissed didn't you!" Cheza's friend exclaimed. The two were walking a few blocks from the bar. Kurama had called a taxi, but Cheza decided she rather walk home with her friend. She blushed, "how did you know!" Her friend smiled, "its written all over your face! ". "I hope no one else could tell, I would never hear the end of it if Yusuke found out!". " Who cares, Kuronue is hot!". Cheza and her friend giggled, "why is he living with you? Where did you meet him?".
"its..its a long story!.."
"soo…what was it like?" She felt butterflies as she thought back to the moment. "It was..I don't know..I cant really describe it." "you liked it thought right?". Cheza was glad it was dark out, she knew her face had to be as red as a tomato. "Yes.."
Cheza unlocked her apartment door only to stare into a pitch black room. Flicking the light on, she looked around to see Kuronue passed out on the couch. Alice had his tattered black hat in her mouth, shaking it vigorously. She stared down at the sleeping bat, she wondered if things would be awkward between the two the next day. Shaking the thought from her head she made her way to her bedroom, deciding to take a shower.
She had been in the shower no longer than 10 minutes when she heard a loud crash coming from right outside the shower. She stiffened a bit, the first thought that came to mind was that a demon was in the room with her. She turned the water off and peeped her head out, "what the…" she muttered. "Kuronue! What are you doing! You cant just walk in here when I'm in the shower!"
" You were taking too long, I couldn't hold it any longer!"
"You could have at least knocked! What if you walked in and saw me naked!"
"I wouldn't mind" Kuronue replied. Cheza threw a bar of soap at the drunken bat, "OUT!"
"What was that for!" he exclaimed while rubbing the top of his head.
"Shoo! I cant get out of the shower with you in here!"
"I have to pee still!" Kuronue protested.
"well..go outside!"
~~~~~~Next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cheza sat on the floor playing tug-o-war with Alice. She was in the living room with Kuronue who was sprawled out on the couch watching tv. Alice's ears perked up as someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it!" Cheza said getting up. She opened the door to be greeted by Yusuke and Kuwabara. "we got a new videogame! We need two more players!" Yusuke stated.
Upon entering Yusuke's apartment Cheza noticed a beady-eyed bird like creature sitting at the end of the couch next to Kuwabara. Oddly enough, it looked kinda like Yusuke.
"What is that!" Kuronue and Cheza asked in unison. Yusuke looked over at the creature, "oh, that's Puu..he's my spirit beast". The blue little bird creature began to jump up and down excitedly as it heard Yusuke say its name. Kuwabara scratched the critters head, she could tell it loved attention.
Yusuke sat down on the couch motioning for Cheza and Kuronue to join him. The two sat down and Yusuke handed Cheza a game controller and began to unwind another for Kuronue. Cheza thought back to last night, Kuronue hadn't spoken about it..and she wasn't about to bring it up. She wondered if Kuronue even remembered kissing her, he had gotten pretty drunk. "Cheza's on my team!" Kuwabara exclaimed.
~~~~~~~ 3 hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phone rang so Yusuke paused the game to answer it. Cheza noticed out of the corner of her eye Kuronue was staring at her. It was making her nervous, she turned to look at him..but he quickly looked away. "Hey guys Keiko invited us to a free meal at the diner where she works"
"Well what are we waiting for lets go!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "I'll call Kurama and see if he wants to join us" Yusuke said while dialing his number.
The six were all sitting at bar stools waiting for their food. Yusuke was sitting next to Keiko, the two were lost in their own little world. Kurama and Kuronue were chattering away, and Kuwabara was talking nonstop to Cheza, who was tuning him out. She was lost in thought, wondering why Kurama had acted so strange towards her when they entered the diner, had Kuronue told him about the kiss?
"hey there" Cheza turned to see a guy with short black hair and brown eyes smiling at her, "umm..hi."
Kurama noticed Kuronue was no longer paying attention to what he was saying, he was staring at something behind him. Kurama turned to see Cheza talking to some random guy, " your falling for her aren't you?" Kuronue quickly averted his gaze back to Kurama, "what are you talking about! ...what did you say this was called again?" Kuronue asked staring down at his Dr. Pepper . Kurama knew he was trying to change the subject, he decided to not press the topic.
Cheza stiffened a bit as the guy put his arm around her, "you know you're really cute". Cheza felt really uncomfortable, "umm can you please keep your hands to yourself" she said. Instead of listening to her request, the guy's hand started to wander up her leg. She slapped him and told him not to touch her. This got Kurama's and Kuronue's attention, as well as the others. Kuronue stood up glaring daggers at the guy, "Kuronue…don't do anything you will regret" Kurama warned. "I wont regret this" he replied walking over to Cheza. "Is there a problem?" Kuronue asked. "Nothing that is any of YOUR business" the guy replied.
" I think it is my business when your hands are all over my girlfriend" Kuronue replied.
"You can have the bitch!" he said pushing Cheza forward. Without thinking Kuronue swung at him, knocking him out cold. The entire diner went silent, Cheza hadn't even realized Kuronue had knocked the guy out. She was still replaying the words Kuronue had said, " I think it is my business when your hands are all over my girlfriend". "err…I think we better get going Keiko" Yusuke whispered.
Keiko nodded, "yeah…I think youre right." "I'll…I'll see you tonight!" Yusuke said. Kurama got up walking over to Kuronue, "come on we have to leave before any cops show up". Kuwabara walked over to Cheza, "you okay?". She nodded silently as Kurama pulled Kuronue towards the diner exit.

Kurama sat at his desk staring down at his blank paper, he had an essay due tomorrow..but he just couldn't concentrate. It was pouring rain outside, so he had left the window unlocked for Hiei. He was starting to worry about his spikey haired friend, he hadn't been around much since Kuronue was resurrected. Kurama looked up at the sound of the window opening, "Hiei!". A soaken wet Hiei jumped into his room, sliding the window shut. "Your soaked..would you like to borrow some clothes?"
"hn! Im fine". Hiei sat down at the windowsill glaring at the wall. Kurama sighed, "If you need anything let me know." Hiei didn't respond. Kurama figured Hiei had to be hungry, "I'll be right back".
A few minute passed and Kurama reappeared with a plate of food, sitting it down next to Hiei without saying a word. Kurama sat back down at his desk and tried his best to start his essay. It wasn't long before Hiei began stuffing his face, he was indeed really hungry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Yusuke's apartment~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wheres your boooyfriend!" Yusuke taunted while making kissing noises. "Shutup!" Cheza retorted. Kuronue had went off somewhere on his own once they left the diner, Kurama had left to work on his homework..so it was just Yusuke, Kuwabara and Cheza.
"Comeon Urameshi I want to get as much game time in as I can before school tomorrow!" Kuwabara exclaimed while turning on the PS3. "Its about time to feed Alice, I'll leave you two to your game!" Cheza said walking towards the door. "Say hi to your boyfriend for me!" Yusuke teased as Cheza shut the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Cheza's apartment~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cheza fed Alice then sat down on the couch, what was she going to say to Kuronue when he walked in?
She sighed while turning the tv on, after awhile she fell asleep.
It was around 1 in the morning when Kuronue walked in the door. He didn't bother to turn the lights on, he could actually see quite well in the dark. He made his way over to the couch to see Cheza had fallen asleep on it. He stared at her for a moment before carefully picking her up carrying her to her bed.
He sat her down, brushing a stray strand of hair out of her face. "goodnight Cheza" he whispered before walking away to join Alice, who was sleeping next to the couch.
