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* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.
