A fanfic by ~> Bulma Briefs

			************************************ 

Saa… remember a boy in Kuwabara’s gang names Kirishima? Well… if you don’t, 
check back those early days. He’s a cute blonde… Well, the only cute one 
in Kuwabara’s gang though. Hehe… well, this is something about him, put 
together with our favourite couple. ^_~ guess who?

Since we haven’t seen him with anyone else, I won’t think it would be 
a big sin to do this. Well, sorry Hiei…

Hiei : Who’s Kirishima?

Kurama : ………… *handling him a volume 1 & 2 YYH manga*

			*******************************

					Oh Boy! 


	Kirishima gritted his teeth, he saw that boy again. That beautiful 
boy with luxurious red hair, highlighted brightly by the sun. So, he was 
a friend of Yuusuke and Kuwabara too. A few months after Yuusuke had 
been alive again, they had changed greatly and became more closer. 

        They don’t fight anymore. But even if they were fighting, it 
would be a gesture to show their friendship. Like normal good friends 
would do, occasionally fight to show their asses out.

	Actually, having Yuusuke around with them made them feel safer. 
Most gangsters from other schools would shiver and tremble upon hearing 
Yuusuke and Kuwabara had been friends now, very good friends. Even 
the teachers would leave them alone. 

	Kirishima wondered why would a tall cute boy be friends with 
the worst student a school can have. He had heard about the red head 
being the best student in every thing, perfect. 

        He looked down at himself. He was not bad looking too, a few 
girls had trembled their eyes over him but too afraid to come forth 
as Kirishima was a member of Kuwabara’s gang. Which would automatically 
drive girls away. He didn’t mind, he haven’t any interest in those 
shrieking girls anyway. 

	One day, he finally had the courage to talk about it to Kuwabara. 
"Kuwabara, what school does your friend goes to?" asked Kirishima. 
Kuwabara frowned. "Which friend?" he asked. "Umm… the guy with red 
hair," said Kirishima. 

        Kuwabara’s eyes widened up. "Ah, you mean Kurama? He’s in 
Meiow High School," said Kuwabara. Kirishima looked at the floor. 
:… Meiow High School? That’s a private school …: thought Kirishima. 

        He looked up and wished to asked Kuwabara more about his friend, 
but unfortunately Kuwabara had disappeared. Kirishima decided to drop 
the subject and forget about it. 

	But he can’t…

	It was after school that Yuusuke and Kuwabara excitedly talked 
about their project. It was a school project, A biology project. Not 
really the boring type though. They’re suppose to make a mummy out of 
plasters, corn syrup, flour… something that they would like to do. 
Extraordinary. 

	Kirishima walked silently, unaware of the departure of Ohkuba 
and Sawamura, as they wished him, Kuwabara and Yuusuke safely home. 
He continued to walk silently behind those two. 

        Suddenly Kuwabara paused. He gestured Yuusuke to look at Kirishima. 
Kirishima wasn’t paying attention and bumped into Kuwabara’s chest. He 
looked up at Kuwabara, taking a step back. "Gomen ne, Kuwabara," he 
uttered. 

	Kuwabara narrowed his eyes, at Kirishima. "Daijobu ka? You looked 
like a dog," he said, patting Kirishima’s shoulder. Kirishima flashed 
him a smile. As sweet as a smile produced by a boy called Shuuichi 
Minamino. 

	Yuusuke smiled. "What if you follow us today? I could introduce 
you to our friend. We’re having lunch together today," said Yuusuke, 
remembering the lunch he and Kuwabara we’re suppose to have with 
Kurama. Kirishima smiled and nodded. Kuwabara nodded. "Yeah, and he’s 
probably there now waiting for us. We’d better hurry up before one of 
his plants chew us up," said Kuwabara and started cracking up with 
Yuusuke. Kirishima smiled, and joined them giggling. Even though he 
haven’t the slightest idea what they were talking about. 

	He followed them into a restaurant. Suddenly his eyes spied a 
red head sitting in a booth at the corner of the restaurant. His heart 
leapt with joy as he saw that boy. Hoping that Kuwabara and Yuusuke 
would at least sit somewhere near so that he could have a good view 
of the boy.

	If the Kami-sama wasn’t nice enough today, they walked straight 
heading for the red head. Suddenly Yuusuke hollered. "Yo, Kurama!" he 
said, slapping the boy’s back and sat beside him. Kurama flashed him 
a smile and looked at his watch. "Ano… quite punctual," he commented.    :… This is too good to be a dream …: exclaimed Kirishima mentally as Kuwabara sat in front of Kurama. He followed suite and sat beside the big orange haired guy. 

	Yuusuke laughed. "We’re always punctual when it comes to eating, 
right Kazuma?" Yuusuke asked Kuwabara. 

        Kuwabara nodded and smiled, leaning close to Kurama’s face. 
"Especially when it’s someone else who is paying for the food," he 
added and laughed together with Yuusuke. Kurama closed his eyes and 
sighed, a smile on his delicate face.

	Suddenly Kurama realised Kirishima. He shot a glance at Yuusuke 
and Kuwabara. "Ok, so you brought your friend. What’s his name?" he 
asked, looking into Kirishima’s eyes. Still smiling sweetly. :… I 
think I’m going to faint …: said Kirishima to himself. 

        Kuwabara slapped Kirishima at the back soundly. He jerked to 
the front a bit. "This, is Kirishima. My friend. My ally," Kuwabara 
started his speech. "Ok, enough Kuwabara. Kurama gets the idea already," 
said Yuusuke. Kurama chuckled and Kuwabara rubbed his head sheepishly. 
Kirishima was still looking at the table, slightly blushing. 

	"Saa… Hajimemashite, Kirishima-san. Watashi wa Minamino Shuuichi," 
Kurama introduced himself. Kirishima frowned. "But I heard them calling 
you Kurama," he said. Kurama smiled. "That is my nick name," explained 
Kurama. 

        Kirishima nodded. "Hai, wakatta Minamino-san," he said. Kuwabara 
awarded Kirishima with a slap on his shoulder. "Oi, why are you being 
polite suddenly?" asked Kuwabara. Kirishima bit his lower lip. 
:… What am I going to say? That I like Minamino and I’m shy? Kuwabara 
would practically kill me! …: 

        "Well, he’s polite to me. And I think I should be polite to  
him, ne Kuwabara?" answered Kirishima. Kuwabara nodded. "Hmm… good 
thought," he said, turning his attention to food once more.

	A waiter came with the menus. Everyone glued their eye to the 
menu. "Since I’m paying, I’ll decide what we eat," said Kurama and 
closed the menu.

	"Ok, we’ll have 5 sets of Fish n Chips and 2 jugs of Soda," said 
Kurama. Kirishima arched his brow in confusion. :… Why order 5 sets 
when they’re only 4 of us? …: He wondered. As if reading Kirishima’s 
mind, Kuwabara asked Kurama. 

	"Ano Kurama, who’s that for?" he asked, referring to the 5th 
set of Fish n Chips. Kurama smiled. "Hiei is coming," he answered. 

        :… Hiei? Who is Hiei. And Why does he have this unusual glow in his 
bright emerald eyes when he says the name? Is it his girlfriend? …: 
Kirishima worried himself. He was afraid that it would be true and 
all this hopes would be crushed. 

        "Ah, that shrimp! Wonder why is he late," said Kuwabara looking
out the window. :… Kuwabara is calling Hiei and a ‘shrimp’. I won’t be 
a girl then …: sighed Kirishima, a little relieved. He knew Kuwabara 
won’t insult a girl even how bad he is. :… Must be a close friend of 
theirs too …: wondered Kirishima. 

        "Well, I hid all his clothes and bought him new ones. I think 
he would also look nice colours other than black," said Kurama. Yuusuke 
chuckled. "Hiei is coming, and he’s not very happy either," he said, 
looking over Kuwabara at the door. 

        "Well, better sit here then," said Yuusuke, pulling a chair off 
the other table’s and sat on the side, leaving his seat empty. Kirishima 
widened his eyes as a small boy with blood red angry eyes stomped in 
the restaurant. He could see the look in those eyes that spelled ‘DEATH’ 
clearly. He swallowed a lump in his throat. 

         He glanced over at the others. They faces were calm, if not 
trying hard to suppress themselves from laughing their heart out. Not 
even a trace of fear was shown.

         The small spiky haired boy sat down discordantly beside Kurama. 
He turned his head and snarled at the smiling red head. Kirishima was 
having sweatdrops and Yuusuke and Kuwabara’s face were red. Obviously 
trying hard not to laugh.

         "I hate these stupid ningen clothing," he uttered bitterly. 
Kirishima was astonished by the voice of the Spiky haired boy called 
Hiei. It was surprisingly low, a contrast to his small lithe body. 

         This Hiei guy was wearing a pair of jeans, a blue shirt inside 
and a nice coloured baseball jacket. Suits him very well.

         Kurama pulled something out of his hair. A rose. :… Kirishima 
felt  stab of jealousy flow through him …: Kurama handed to Hiei. Hiei 
looked away. Kurama leaned closer to him, to whisper something in 
Hiei's ears. "You look adorable," he whispered, taking advantage of 
the closeness between them and licked his earlobe. 

         Hiei turned back and Kurama quickly hide his pink tongue. 
Hiei snarled at Kurama, and their nose nearly touched. "Adorable? 
That’s the last thing I wanna be, Kitsune no baka!" he snapped. :… Hiei, 
calling Kurama a kitsune? Well, this is a weird group of friends …: 
Kirishima wondered. Hiei started to stand up, determine to leave the 
already laughing Kuwabara and Yuusuke. 

         "Hiei, please stay. I had hungered myself to save money to buy 
you all lunch today," said Kurama, almost desperately. Unaware of his 
surroundings. Kirishima got more confused. :… Well, they sure treat 
friends seriously …: thought Kirishima. 

         Surprisingly, the hot tempered little boy stopped. He stepped 
back to his seat beside the red head and snorted. 

         After the meal, they sat down a while longer to talk. "So 
Kurama, valentine’s over. What happened in your school?" asked Kuwabara. 
"Well, I still have enough chocolates to open a chocolate factory after 
eating half of it," said Kurama. Kirishima widened his eyes. "Honto ka, 
Minamino-san? I only got some to last me a few days," said Kirishima, 
getting into the conversation.

         "Well, Kurama is like a sex god in Meiow high," said Yuusuke. 
Hiei shot him a glare, but Yuusuke was obviously too busy laughing 
until tears came out of his eyes. Kirishima smiled upon seeing Kurama 
slightly blushed.

         "Stupid ningen traditions," snorted Hiei. Kuwabara shot a 
look at Hiei's sarcastic face. "Ano Hiei's just jealous. He didn’t 
got any chocolates," Kuwabara teased. Hiei gritted his teeth. "Yes I 
did," he insisted. "Oooo… who gave you?" asked Kuwabara, slightly 
surprised. "Kurama gave me, Yukina gave me," said Hiei. "Yukina gave 
me too! but Kurama didn’t," said Kuwabara looking at Kurama. 

         "I didn’t have enough money. I still have to save money to buy 
you guys this meal though," said Kurama. "But if you really want 
chocolates, you could come to my house and eat it," Kurama continued. 
Kuwabara looked at Yuusuke. "You free tonight, Urameshi?" asked Kuwabara. 
Yuusuke nodded. "Sugoi! Chocolates, here we come!!!" he shouted, the 
whole restaurant nearly shocked itself out of Kuwabara’s volume.

         Hiei winced. "Bakayaro, don’t scream," he snorted. Kuwabara 
showed Hiei his fist. But then he stopped and rubbed his tummy. "I’m 
too full to fight you, Hiei. Maybe tomorrow," he announced. Kirishima 
felt somewhat pity for Hiei. He looks like he’d been bullied by everyone.

         They walked their way home using the park route. Hiei and Kurama 
were walking in front and the other three walked a bit further to the 
back. Hiei and Kurama seemed to be talking to each other, but it’s too 
soft to be heard by anyone not in 2 inches range. 

         If it was Yuusuke and Kuwabara talking, neighbouring countries 
could probably hear them. 

         Suddenly Hiei snorted, loud enough to be heard by them. "Ano 
Hiei…," Kurama sighed and lowered himself, whispering something into 
Hiei's ears. Hiei looked back at Kurama and told him something. 
Kurama nodded and turned to face the other three.

         "Bye guys, I have to give back Hiei's clothes before he burn 
down my house!" said Kurama, a smile on his delicately beautiful face. 
:… Is he really going to burn down Minamino’s house if he didn’t return
his clothes? …: wondered Kirishima. 

         "You can stay in my house Kurama," said Kuwabara and cracked 
up again with Yuusuke. They seemed so happy together. Kurama and Hiei 
made a left turn to go back to his house.

         Kirishima looked as they disappear into the distance. "Ano 
Kuwabara, why does it seems to me that Kurama and Hiei is more that 
just friends?" Kirishima’s mouth worked before his mind.

         Kuwabara and Yuusuke stopped walking. "Umm… because they’re 
best friends," Kuwabara answered. Kirishima narrowed his round eyes. 
Kuwabara looked and Yuusuke and sighed. "Ok, don’t tell anyone else. 
Not even to Ohkuba and Sawamura. They’re having a shonen ai relationship," 
said Kuwabara.

         Kirishima’s eye widened up. That Hiei guy had beaten him in 
this. His first love and crushed in front of his eyes. "I know it’s 
hard to accept. But you’ll get use to the idea," said Yuusuke, resumed 
walking. :… I am used to it. I am even in it …: said Kirishima mentally. 

         "How old is he? 10?" asked Kirishima. "Well, he’s way more than 
ten. Maybe the same age as us. We don’t know much about him. But I bet 
Kurama knows," said Yuusuke, hiding the facts. 

         Kuwabara put a hand on his shoulder and walked their way home, 
with Kirishima still envying Hiei. 

         "Ain’t Kurama scared of that Hiei?" asked Kirishima. "Scared? 
Cheh! They love each other too much to do damage to each other," said 
Yuusuke, kicking a few leaves on the ground. "Well, Hiei sure scares 
me," said Kirishima. 

         "Cheh! That brat, I’ll show him who’s more macho one of these 
days," said Kuwabara, shaking his fist in the wind. Kirishima smiled. 
"You don’t fancy him much, do you?" he asked. "Well, he’s a good guy. 
But he’s damn irritating! Yeah, irritating. That’s the word," said 
Kuwabara.

         "Ano, try not to say anything bad about Hiei in front of Kurama. 
He might get hurt," said Yuusuke. "Che, he won’t mind. Besides, he’s 
challenging," said Kuwabara, imagining him and Hiei fighting and 
winning is on his side. 

         Kirishima smiled. He started to think that Kurama would be 
better off with Hiei. Anyway, Kurama wouldn’t want a guy like him. He 
has a more cute, ‘adorable’, bad tempered little boy as a lover.  

Owari… 

^_~;

Well, know it stinks. But I can’t help it. That Kirishima guy is cute. 
And I had to write it. Critics and corrections and death threats please!
