"I saw you two kissing last night!" Keiko exclaimed. "ohhhh you two are so adorable together!" Boton squealed. " I can tell Kurama really likes you" Yukina interjected. The girls had invited Cheza to go shopping with them, the four were now at Master Genkai's chatting away. "So..what was the kiss like?" Keiko asked. All eyes were on Cheza "well..umm..it.. hes a great kisser" Cheza responded, a tinge of red appearing on her cheeks. The girls giggled, "YUKINA MY LOVE!" The door swung open revealing Kuwabara, Kurama and Yusuke. "Hello Kazuma" Yukina greeted with a smile. "I have a question to ask you!...will you go with me to…the carnival tonight!" Yukina smiled sweetly, "I would love to"
"Alright!" Kuwabara exclaimed a big goofy grin appearing on his face. "I figured we might as well go too" Yusuke said staring over at Keiko. Keiko smiled, "sounds like a plan!"
"Hey Dimwit! Training starts now!" Genkai yelled from the kitchen. "grouchy old hag" Yusuke grumbled
before walking into the kitchen. "I'll see you tonight Yukina!" Kuwabara exclaimed before following his gel haired friend into the kitchen. Kurama stayed behind, "Cheza, may I speak with you alone for a moment"
Boton winked at Cheza, "We'll be in the kitchen making lunch!". The girls cleared out leaving the fox and Cheza standing by themselves. "I wanted to ask you if you would accompany me to the carnival …and…I wanted to…give you something." Cheza watched as Kurama rummaged through his pocket pulling out a dark blue velvet box "I saw this and…well it reminded me of you..." Kurama opened the box to reveal a sapphire pendant, ..it matched the color of Cheza's eyes perfectly. "Thank you…its beautiful!" Cheza exclaimed..still a bit shocked he had given her something that had to have put a dent in his wallet.
"I don't want you to think Im coming on to strong…I…"
"HEY FOX BOY YOU COMIN OR WHAT!" Yusuke yelled from the kitchen. "Coming!" Kurama replied.
Kurama removed the pendant from the box, "may I?" he asked. Cheza nodded and Kurama placed the pendant around Cheza's neck. "It looks beautiful on you" Kurama stated with a warm smile. "ANY DAY NOW!" Yusuke shouted. I better get going..I'll see you tonight!" Kurama commented before walking off into the kitchen.

Keiko's eye twitched in annoyance. Yusuke and Kuwabara were eating funnel cake like pigs…and yes people were staring. Yusuke had powder all over his face..Kuwabara even had some in his hair. "Yusuke! where are your manners!" Keiko yelled. Yusuke said something but his mouth was so full no one understood what he said. Yukina giggled, "Kazuma you have powder in your hair".
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Hey Kurama! I bet I can beat you!" Yusuke was standing in front of a stand with "ring toss" written in faded yellow letters. Kuwabara and Yukina left to go on the ferris wheel, so Cheza walked over to chat with Keiko while the boys played the game. " Did Kurama give you that?" Keiko asked pointing towards the blue pendant around Cheza's neck. " isnt it beautiful!" Cheza exclaimed. Keiko nodded, " I wish Yusuke would be romantic like that!" "DAMN!" Yusuke exclaimed. Cheza and Keiko looked over to see Kurama now holding a giant stuffed Scooby-doo..obviously Kurama had won the game. Kurama smiled and walked over to Cheza, "I won you a giant scooby doo". Cheza blushed, before she could reply Yusuke blurted " that stuffed animal is bigger than Hiei!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Are you hungry?..can I get you anything?" Kurama asked. Cheza shook her head no, "Lets go on the ferris wheel! I bet the view is amazing!" Kurama chuckled, "I'm sure it is..lets go". Yusuke started making kissing noises, "you two love birds be careful!" Keiko smacked him in the head, "we'll meet up with you at the front entrance." "Come on Urameshi lets find a game to play! I want to win something for Yukina!". The others took off leaving the "love birds" behind. Cheza looked off in the distance to see the colorfully illuminated ferris wheel, "come on!" she exclaimed taking off in the direction of it.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Cheza was in awe as the Ferris wheel slowly ascended to its highest peak. The crowd below her now looked like an army of ants. The night sky glistened with the many stars twinkling above. She noticed Kurama was staring at her from the corner of her eye, she looked over at him and smiled. "This is such a pretty site!" she exclaimed. Kurama returned the smile, "yes..it is".
Cheza had noticed Kurama was fidgeting a lot, the fox looked as if something was bothering him.
"Are you okay?...are you scared of heights or something?" Cheza asked.
"No, Im fine..really" he gave her a reassuring smile then squeezed her hand. He placed his arm around her and stared up at the night sky. Silence encompassed the two..but Kurama soon broke it.
"Cheza…I…" Cheza could tell Kurama was really nervous, *he must be afraid of heights…* she thought.
"will you be..my girlfriend?" Cheza's eyes widened a bit, she was caught off guard. She had to admit he would so be the perfect boyfriend. "HELP!" screamed a women's voice from down below. Cheza looked down spotting a huge bear towering over a defenseless women, a baby in her arms.
Kurama scanned the carnival grounds, Yusuke and Kuwabara were running towards the bear..they were quite a ways away though. "why is there a bear here!" Kurama's eyes narrowed, "a shape shifter demon". There was nothing the two could do but wait for the ride to end..it was all up to Kuwabara and Yusuke. Something shiny whizzed by the women hitting the bear in the chest. Cheza quickly realized Kuronue's scythe is what hit the demon. The women took off running, leaving the bear and the bat to battle. A crowd watched from afar, while others took off running for safety. Kuronue hurled a giant purple ball of spirit energy at the shape shifter…and well..that was it..the bear went bye bye. "Wow..that was a really weak demon!" Cheza exclaimed. Kurama nodded, "yes..but it could easily kill an ordinary human".
"I wonder why Kuronue is here…I mean..I think people would find it odd to see a real life bat man!"
"Im not sure..he must have been nearby and sensed the shape shifter" Kurama replied. Cheza watched as Kuronue began to flap his wings, "He's going to fly off in front of all those people!" Before he took to the skies Yusuke and Kuwabara finally made it to the site of the attack. Cheza couldn't understand what they were saying to Kuronue, but as the ferris wheel came back down and came to a halt Kuroune's yelling could be heard. A little kid was tugging on his wings saying "no way those are real!".
"Scram! Little man before I eat you!" an evil grin appeared on Kuronue's face, his fangs became visable. "MOMMY!" the little kid screamed taking off as fast as his little legs would carry him. "Yo fox boy! Binki-breath needs to speak with me and Kuwabara were gonna take off.."
"Yusuke!" Keiko and Yukina appeared from around a corner, panting heavily. "Oh yeah..I forgot about you..err..Koenma needs to speak with me..Im gonna have to bail".
"You forgot about me! YUSUKE YOU JACKA…"
"I'll escort you two home" Kuronue interrupted. "I'll walk home myself!" Keiko snarled while storming off, flames flaring in her eyes. "Im sorry I cant walk you home Yukina, I promise I'll make it up to you!" Kuwabara declared. "Its okay Kazuma..I understand.. Mr. Kuronue could you please walk me home?" Kuronue nodded, "sure thing!".

Cheza decided to take Alice on a walk once she reached her apartment, Kurama tagged along.
"I've come to realize…I don't know that much about you..lets play the 20 questions game." Kurama said."okay..you go first" Cheza replied.
"do your parents live here? Do you have Siblings?"
"My mom disappeared..I don't know if shes alive or not and my dad..well..I don't like talking about him and…no Im an only child"
"Im sorry about your mother…"
"Don't be..so its my turn right?"
Kurama nodded, "yes".
"okay…Ive been kinda curious about this..how old are you?"
Kurama seemed lost in thought for a moment, " in the 3000 range"(Im not sure if that's correct :/)
"3000 years old! No way!"
"My turn…"What's… your best memory of us?"
Cheza smiled, "I'd defiantly have to say the Halloween party"
The two stared into each others eyes, "how… would you describe me..using only one word?"Cheza asked.
The two continued to stare into each others eyes, "beautiful" Kurama replied. The two moved closer and closer together, Kurama's lips pressed against Cheza's and once again their tongues intertwined. "WOOF WOOF WOOF!" The two pulled away spotting Alice chasing a raccoon around.
Cheza sighed, "I better go catch her before the raccoon retaliates!" Cheza took off after Alice, soon she got a hold of her and walked over to a park bench Kurama was now sitting at. Cheza sat down and the two remained silent for awhile. Out of nowhere Cheza said the word"yes".
"Kurama gave her a questioning look, "yes?".
Their eyes locked, "yes..I will be your girlfriend."
