Chapter 14: Emotional Rollercoaster

A few days after the Yukina mission, Kuwabara was in a mopping mood. He was mopping about the fact Yukina had to go back to her village back in the demon world. You were very happy about that, though you didn't know why, though your heart knew the answer.

On Monday, two days later, you had to drag Kuwabara out of bed to get ready for school. On the way to school, you had met Kuwabara's three friends, Yusuke, and Botan, who was dressed in a school girl uniform. Kuwabara was out in front of the group still mopping.

"Why'd ya suppose Kuwabara's been so wound up lately?" Kirishima asked.

"Yeah, he's sure been quiet the past coupla days." said Okubo.

The three boys all huddled together, yet still kept walking.

"Five hundred yen says it's a new image." bet Okubo.

"Four hundred yen says he saw a downer movie." said Sawamura.

"Eight hundred yen says he was dumped!" said Kirishima.

You swore you felt your eyebrow twitching, aggravated by the boys� antics. You stepped between them and pulled them apart.

"Awright, betting's closed!" you said.

They looked at you a bit stunned at your tone of voice and then back at Kuwabara before turning their looks back to you.

"What!" You shouted.

You were starting to get more then a little annoyed, not being in a good mood in the first place.

"Did you and Kuwabara have a fight or something?" Sawamura asked.

"No..." You said.

'Though I wish we did...' you thought sadly.

Behind the small group, Yusuke and Botan were talking.

"Kirishima's pegged it." Yusuke said.

"Huh? He wasn't dumped." Botan said.

"But his ice maiden's gone home to the glaciers." Yusuke said, taking a good look at the grim reaper. "Hey, lose the school girl act." he said, sweat dropping.

"Sigh. So! Long-distance relationships can be very romantic! In other respects, thought, this case leaves a bad after taste. Hiei copped out. He didn't tell Yukina he was her brother..." Botan said.

"Yeah." Yusuke said, remembering what Hiei had told him, after finding him in the room with the 'bad guys' beat up already.

Flashback

"Yukina doesn't know, and there's no reason she should. We have different mothers, and she’s an ice maiden...they're suppose to keep to their wintry realm. It's been two years since I learned she was missing...after the little fool snuck off to frolic with some animal. No doubt that's when the brokers got wind of her." Hiei said. 1*

"Did you, by any chance, acquire that evil eye to find her?" Yusuke asked.

"Feh!" snorted Hiei before leaving.

End Flashback

While Yusuke had the flashback, you thought about how perfect Yukina and Kuwabara had looked holding hands as they did back at the mansion. You could feel your heart hurt within your chest. You felt your emotions wanting to show, however you couldn't; especially not right here. However, you knew that eventually you'd have to let them go and soon. You shook your head when you heard your name being called.

"Ummm?"

"You ok? You kind of blanked out there." said a concerned Kirishima.

You smiled at him.

"Sorry, I've been doing that a lot lately." you said.

The boys looked at each other and then back at you.

"(YFN)-chan, did something happen between you and Kuwabara...you know...something like in the romantic way or something?" asked Sawamura.

You tripped after hearing that, but recovered and was in the poor boy's face.

"What does that mean!" you said, blushing all the while.

"Whoa! We mean...do you two like...LIKE each other?" asked Okubo.

You just blinked at them.

'Am I that obvious? NO...they're just reading my actions wrong...' You thought.

"No." you said.

'Though I wish he'd like me.' you thought.

Yusuke seemed 'intrigued' in this conversation and decided to join in the 'fun'.

"Oh come on (YFN)! There has to be something going on!" Yusuke said with a big fat grin on his face.

"Yusuke!" said Botan, whacking him in the back of his head.

"Owww! What!" said an annoyed Yusuke, rubbing his injured head and glaring at the reaper.

"Don't pry!" she shouted, glaring back at him.

"I'm not prying, just curious 'ats all! Geeze, it's obvious that she likes the guy since Yuk-ooof." Yusuke never finished the sentence, since your foot connected with his stomach.

"Shut up! You don't know what the Hell you’re talking about! And if I DID like Kuwabara don't you think I would have TOLD him by NOW! I'm only pissed right now because I'm having a bad day, unless that's a crime now!" You stood there breathing heavily, not from being out of breath, but from trying to calm yourself down.

You had almost lost your temper, and it wouldn't have been pretty. Your eyes were already pink, not red, but were getting there. You were a full human, but it did make you appear demon at times.

Yusuke and Botan took a step backwards, away from you, since you were very scary at that moment. You closed your eyes and took in a deep calming breath.

"Sorry. I lost my temper. I don't know why, but I just did..." you said re-opening your eyes.

Without another word, you turned and started to walk ahead of the group towards school, passing a now shock and staring Kuwabara.

Kuwabara had stopped to see what the commotion was about. He was shocked to hear what you had said and even more so at what Yusuke had said to make you pissed.

'Could she really like me?' thought Kuwabara, but unfortunately for you, you hadn't heard his thoughts. 'No...she can't like me...it wouldn't work out...she just can't...besides, I love Yukina...'

However, even the thought of Yukina didn't help the uneasy feeling he was beginning to feel. He shook it off and figured it was because it was because his precious ice maiden was away. Everyone was quiet for the rest of the walk to school

As the day went on, you cheered up and pulled back all of your feelings, keeping them hidden. You had to be careful as you knew from experience that if you held your emotions in for too long that you would end up getting sick. However, you knew a good cry in a cold shower would fix everything. So that's what you decided to do once you got home.

After school, you found Kuwabara still mopping around, though he seemed to be deep in thought as well. You shrugged the thought off and decided to hang out with Yusuke, since you figured Kuwabara needed a little more 'alone time' to get his feelings and stuff back in order.

You found Yusuke heading out.

"Hey Yusuke!" You shouted, running up to him.

"Hey! You seem to be yer old cheery self...sorry about earlier..." said Yusuke shoving his hands in his pockets and looking at his feet.

You smiled.

"It's ok...Ummm...can I hang out with you? I don't want to be around a mopping and depressed Kuwabara. I think I caught his negative waves or something." You said, still smiling.

Yusuke brighten up at this and looked up.

"Sure."

"How about the arcade? I want to play that game...you know...the game where you go around and shoot up the bad guys and stuff..." Yusuke gave you a weird look.

"What?" you asked, folding your arms across your chest and glaring at him.

"You're crazy, ya know� 'at?" he said chuckling.

"Wow...it took you this long to figure that out! Man, Yusuke, you're dumber then you look." You said with a huge grin on your face.

That earned you a playful glare from Yusuke, who then put your head in a headlock.

"Hey!" You said, trying to get out of it; twisting and turning.

"I wonder if you're ticklish?" said Yuskue with an evil grin.

Your eyes widened.

"Ah...no...I'm not ticklish...what gave you that idea...?" You said.

"Oh yeah, like I'd really believe that." said Yusuke, starting to find 'your ticklish spot you didn't have.'

He tried your neck, but nothing. Then he tried your sides. Nope. Third time was the charm, because he started to tickle your legs and you made a noise.

He grinned more

"We found a winner!"

He started to attack your legs causing both of you to fall on to the ground, you laughing like a maniac, while Yusuke tortured you with his fingers.

"Hahaha...stop hahahaha. Please hahaha...you suck! hahahaha not fair! hahaha." You said through your laughter.

People had started to stare at the two of you. Some were more amused than others. However, no one came to rescue you from Yusuke's evil fingers.

Finally what seemed like forever, but was only a few minutes or so, Yusuke stopped. You just lay there, glaring up at the still smiling Yusuke, who now sat on his heels.

"Damn (YFN), you're like the most ticklish person I've ever seen!" he said laughing.

You glared at him, while trying to catch your breath.

"Jerk...don't you...EVER do that...AGAIN!" you said, closing your eyes.

Yusuke laughed.

"Come on, let's go to the arcade, my treat, k?" he said, trying to make it up to you.

Your eyes opened at that.

"Well what are we still doing here? Let's go!" you said.

Yusuke laughed again and got up. He brushed himself off, before offering you his hand. You took it and he pulled you up. You started to walk out the entrance of the schoolyard and on to the sidewalk.

"You know, (YFN), I've grown to think of you like a lil sister. Cute and silly." he smiled and looked at you.

You smiled back.

"Really? Well, I feel the same...and I think of you as my big sister! Hahaha!" You said, giggling.

Yusuke playfully glared at you and stuck his fingers up.

"Don't make me have to use these." he said with a smirk and wiggling them along with his eye brows.

You gave a yelp and took a few steps away.

"Don't you dare you big meany!" You said.

He chuckled at your reaction, but stopped when he noticed your face had changed from a smile to a frown, which turned, into shock. You were looking behind him and had found Toguro.

'Shit. I didn't think he'd come this early!' You thought.

Yusuke turned and saw him too. His eyes widened in shock, and then turned into a death glare.

"Heigh-ho. How's it going?" asked a smirking Toguro.

Yusuke growled.

"You! But-you died!"

In a quick movement you nor Yusuke neither sensed nor saw, Toguro slashed Yusuke's shirt.

"Keeripes!" said a terrified Yusuke, looking at the new tear in his shirt, lucky it wasn't bleeding.

"Come with me. We need to talk." said Toguro before he disappeared in the crowd.

"Damn it!" shouted Yusuke and ran into the crowd, closely followed by you.

You had both sensed Toguro in an abandoned building. You followed his aura into a room that was located on the first floor of the building, which must have been condemned since it didn't look like it would stay up.

"Our first encounter...was not on the up and up... Thankfully, that is over and done with...Now, I'd like to discuss something personal...a secret between two men and a little lady, so to speak." Toguro said.

You narrowed your eyes at him and huffed. Yusuke stepped in front of you trying to avert the terrifying man's attention at him and tried to keep you from getting his attention.

"You got a point? Get to it!" said Yusuke, hands in his pockets and sweat coming down his face.

His hands were shaking slightly, however, Toguro noticed.

"Heh...you scared of me?" asked Toguro, amused at this.

Yusuke clenched his teeth, while sweat started to pour down his face.

"Heh! Don't kid yourself!" he growled.

You narrowed your eyes at Toguro.

"Tough guy, huh? Well...your instincts know other wise. If you could learn one thing, learn to recognize danger."

Toguro's aura started to grow and he started to glow.

"You are both strong...and both of you will get stronger, but mostly you boy. That's why I thought I'd show you...the real me!"

All of a sudden, Toguro's muscles grew as he roared. The whole room was filled with a huge amount of a very powerful aura. You could feel yourself being pushed backwards a little from his aura's power.

"It's all about muscle mass. In our first fight, I was probably 20 %." said Toguro, with a smirk.

You heard Yuskue gasp, in shock at what Toguro said. You glared at him. Toguro stopped his transformation.

"Phew...I'm now up to about 60 %. I could level this building in three minutes! Wanna see?" he asked.

Yusuke's face had more sweat as his eyes widened in fear. He reached backwards and grabbed your left hand in his right and moved your hand in front of him, trying to keep you as close as possible, just in case anything did happen. You squeezed his hand back, trying to reassure him that you were ok.

In a flash Toguro was gone. Disappeared in front of both of your eyes. Yusuke gasped as Toguro appeared behind you and himself. You were both frozen. Yusuke pulled you closer to him and made you hug him at how he was holding his hands. He was afraid that Toguro had planned to kidnap you.

"In two months, a tournament will be held. Wealthy humans who get their powers from the dark world sponsor teams, of five demons-the strongest and most skilled. The humans do it for money and thrills...we demons do it for blood and pleasure. I extend to you, Kuwabara, and the girl an invitation to compete. Refuse and I will kill the girl right now."

Your body began to shiver as you could feel the bulking man too close for comfort behind you. Yusuke, after hearing the threat, turned around and held on to you. You blinked and looked up at him as he looked at Toguro with daggers in his eyes; however there was fear in those chocolate brown orbs.

"Get in shape. Your lives depend on it...as you will be fighting to the death!" said Toguro and was gone.

The two of you stood in an embrace a little longer before you could feel Yusuke's body slowly feel weak. You held tightly to him with in the hug. However, he went almost completely limp in your arms and the two of you fell to the ground, into a sitting position.

'Not good, not good!' You thought, hugging Yusuke closer, almost pulling him into your lap.

"He's gone. So it's ok now. It's ok Yusuke. We're safe now.....We will beat him, you hear me? You'll beat him because you are stronger than him.” You whispered in his ear, trying to keep the poor boy calm.

He still trembled.

'Shit.' you thought, continuing to hold him and help keep him calm.

The only thing to come to your mind was a song and you thought of the perfect one.

(Song Starts)

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain

we all have sorrow

(Yusuke seemed to tense up in your arms as you began to sing. It seemed he knew this song, tho it wasn't surprising as it was an oldy but goodie.)

But if we are wise

We know that there's

Always tomorrow

(you began to rock him gently as you continued to sing, your words filled with feelings that you hoped would get through to him.)

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

(Yusuke's body began to stop shaking and seemed to start to relax in your arms. You smiled as you continued to sing, holding him closer)

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

(You stroked his back in soothing circles as you continued to sing.)

You just call on me brother

When you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

(You heard Yusuke snort as you used the word 'brother' and it made you smile. It seemed you singing was helping him be calm.)

I just might have a problem

That you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

(You began to rock him even more and close your eyes as you continued to sing. Sure, you missed a few verses however, you just wanted him to hear the 'important' verse, the ones that you felt fit with this situation.)

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

(You could feel Yusuke's body relax and seemed to be much calmer then it was before, however you weren't gonna let him go until the song was done.)

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

(You gently kissed Yusuke on the top of his head; not in a sexual way but more sibling-ish then anything. Yusuke finally sat up and looked at you.)

(Song ends)

The two of you stared at each other for a while before Yusuke let out a breath and smiled.

“Thanks....I needed that.” he said scratching his cheek.

You looked at him and smiled.

“Anytime...bro.” you said with a wide grin.

Yusuke grinned back at you, however his face went serious again. He was calm however, he was still worried about what would happen. He hated the idea that he might have to go back to Genkai's and do more of her 'training'. However, your life was in danger and even tho 'you' didn't seem to be concerned about that fact at the moment, Yusuke was. So he had to do this.

"Well...I guess I better start training." he said as he pulled away from you and stood up.

He brushed off his pants before turning to you and offering you his hand. You smiled up at him and took it.

"Thanks." he said.

"For what?"

"For letting me lean on you...” he said with a grin.

You grinned back at him and the two of you left.

Yusuke had gone off to find Genkai; or that's what you figured as he left you when you had gotten to Kuwabara's house. You took in a deep breath before opening the door to the house you've been calling home for a while now. When you entered the house you were surprised to find Kurama sitting with Kuwabara in the 'living' area. Neither of them noticed you had entered the room and were having a serious discussion by the looks on their faces.

"So that bastard's really back, huh? Damn." said Kuwabara.

"So I take it you had a visit from the bastard too, huh Kurama?" you asked, now leaning against the wall.

Kuwabara looked at you a bit shocked before a growl escaped his lips as he stood up.

"That bastard! Are you ok? He didn't do anything to ya, did he? I swear if he did ANYTHING..." said Kuwabara pissed.

"No...calm down...he didn't, though he did freak out Yusuke...I've never and I mean NEVER seen him soo scared in my life!"you said a frown on your lips.

"Urameshi? Scared? Oh crap, we're in some deep shit!" Kuwabara said, sitting back down on the couch, covering his face with his hands.

"Toguro invited you, Yusuke, and me to the Dark Tournament, so that means I need to train." You said.

This caused Kuwabara to stand right back up.

"What! No way! I am not letting you enter this!" he shouted starting to get pissed off.

"I must agree with Kuwabara, (YFN). It's too dangerous." said Kurama, sitting across from Kuwabara, in a chair.

"Well, I can't help it! If I don't go, he said he'd kill me, so I guess I have no choice, now do I? Or didn’t you hear that I just said I was 'invited'?!" You said, glaring.

"How are you going to fight, anyway?" asked Kuwabara

"Yes, I really doubt you will be able to defeat high class demons with just your fists, (YFN)." said Kurama.

You sighed.

You knew that you had to tell them. The only thing now was if they'd even believe you.

"Well...you see that's not really true...you see... you'll think this is funny...but...I...umm... have some ...'abilities'..." you said, trailing off and looking up.

"What do ya mean 'abilities'? I know you can form that pole thing. And I know you have a strong six sense like I have...but what else?" asked Kuwabara.

Both boys were giving you suspicious looks.

You fidgeted under the two boys eyes.

'This is going to be hard...' you thought.

"Well...I can make a shield and read minds, though not on command and it only happens when I least expect it! I got the shield right before the Yukina mission and all...you know...when those punks beat me and the guys up...that's when I got that..." You said trailing off again.

"What! You made a shield and didn't even tell us! And whatdya mean you can read minds!" shouted Kuwabara.

You gave him a nervous laugh.

"Well...that started back when we fought the four saint beasts...when Yusuke fought the boss...you know...the first mission we ever went on...together..." you trailed off, nervously scratching the back of your head.

The two guys just looked at you, in shock and what looked to be a hurt expression, probably from you not telling them sooner. Not able to look at them, you found your feet more interesting. You had never felt this guilty about anything before. You had seemed to really have hurt them for not saying anything.

Finally, Kurama spoke.

"(YFN), why didn't you tell us about this? We could have helped you sooner." said Kurama.

You still looked at your feet and ran your fingers thru your hair.

"Well, I didn’t' know how you guys would react and I thought it would freak you guys out. Or you would think I was freaky." You said, now really regretting not telling them as soon as you got your powers.

You began to play with your hair, which was a nervous habit you had. You normally would do this whenever you felt nervous or awkward, and you were feeling both now. You felt a hand on your should, causing you to jump. You looked up to see Kuwabara in front of you, looking at you with a serious face.

"We would never freak out or think you freaky. (YFN), you're like my best GIRL friend...I would have understood. Hell, I've seen, even heard freakier things then that, and you should know, living in my room and all." he said, giving you his famous cocky smile and gently squeezing your shoulder.

You smiled back at him and then look away, embarrassed at how close you were. You could hear your heart thumping rapidly.

'Calm down.' You thought.

"Thanks...and I'm sorry." you said, still not looking at Kuwabara, trying to hide the blush.

Kuwabara blinked at you, confused.

'Is...is she blushing? No...no, she can't like me...can she? No...she just can't...it just...no...I love Yukina...I LOVE YUKINA! ' Kuwabara thought.

You looked at him as he was looking at you funny; a look that seemed to show a mix of hurt and determination. You cocked your head to the side and blinked up at him.

“What's wrong?” you asked him.

He snapped back to reality and shook his head.

“Nothing....I'm fine.” he said trying to laugh it off.

You raised an eye brow at him before shrugging it off. You let out a sigh, a bit relieved that it was off your chest. You had been hiding that for too long and were kicking your self for not telling them sooner. You let out a long breathe and found that you could feel your emotions wanting to come out. You felt a bit dizzy as you tried to push them back down. You figured after all that had happened recently; between Yukina coming into the picture, the worry about letting the guys know about your abilities, the fact that Yusuke knew about you 'remembering' where you came from, and now the fear of Toguro's threat truly would come about...well, it was no wonder you wanted to cry.

However, the fact you tried to push it away only made your stomach churn. You felt sick and could feel your self get dizzy. Your eyes began to tear up but you pushed them back down. However that just made you feel even sicker.

'I need to go take a shower...' you thought.

However, the pain in your chest and the pounding of your head made you stumble a bit. You began to sweat as you felt your body begin to grow hot. Your eyes began to blur as you couldn't focus any more. The last thing you saw was Kuwabara turning into a blur before everything went black.

Kuwabara had caught you before you could collapse to the ground. His eyes were wide and looked panicked as he held you 'bridal style'. He looked over to Kurama with worried, wide eyes before turning back to you and shaking your body gently, while in his arms.

“(YFN)? Come on....you're scaring me...” he said as he noticed how your face had started to turn a little red.

He held on to you with one arm as his other hand touched your head. It was burning up. His eyes widened and he looked at Kurama with worry and panic all over his face.

“She's burning up!”

Kurama looked at the worried teen and out stretched his arms.

“Give her to me. I know what to do.” the red head said calmly.

Kuwabara hesitated. He trusted Kurama. It was just he didn't like the thought of having another guy holding you in, well any form. He shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong with him. All he knew was he 'couldn't' fall in love with you. It would be too painful. It had to be a friendship love or even a sibling love. He couldn't possibly truly love you. No, he had to focus on the beautiful and kind ice maiden. His thoughts were broken when he felt your body removed from his embrace. He looked down, giving Kurama a possessive glare and almost pulled you back into his arms.

However, Kurama seemed to calculate him doing that and had moved out of his reach. Kuwabara blinked and couldn't believe how he was acting. He shook his head.

“I'm sorry Kurama. I think I'm just so stressed from Toguro coming back and now (YFN) having a fever.” Kuwabara said, scratching the back of his head as he followed the red head up stairs.

“Uh...by the way...where are we going?”

“To the bathroom.” Kurama stated.

He could tell that Kuwabara was over protective of you, however he knew it was even more than that. He knew; as did mostly everyone else around him; that he was in love with you. However like everyone else, the red head couldn't understand why the teen wasn't acting on his feelings.

“Why?” Kuwabara asked, though after asking he had already knew why.

“Because we need to lower her temperature.” Kurama said, turning on the water to the bathtub, starting to fill it with cold water.

Kuwabara had gotten a few fevers before to know that being laid in cold water helped bring the fever down rapidly. However, he wasn't liking the fact that you would be naked and that Kurama would be seeing you naked. Kurama laid you on the cool bathroom floor and was about to take off your school uniform. However Kuwabara stopped him.

“I...I'll do it...” Kuwabara said with a small blush on his cheeks.

Kurama stopped his hands which were right above your button up shirt. His fingers twitched above the first button; not sure what to do. He turned and looked up at the orange haired teen. His face serious and stern. It also had a look of possessiveness. Kurama nodded before standing up and watching as Kuwabara knelt awkwardly next to you.

“You...ummm....well can you leave?” Kuwabara asked, a little uncomfortable having Kurama standing behind him.

Kurama thought about the request for a moment. He didn't want to leave your side as he was worried about you.

'You just want her to yourself.' came a voice deep with in his mind.

Kurama inwardly growled at the voice.

Ever since the incident with the four saint beasts, Yoko had been pestering the poor red head about you. He found you attractive, kind, and interesting. Interesting enough that he wanted to jump you. Kurama could understand, being that he hadn't gotten 'any' in a long time. But also it could have been the fact that you were different from most girls he knew.

You hadn't fell over heels over him and act like most of the other girls he knew. You also risked your life to help him. You hadn't known him and you just rushed into the battle to tend to his injury. Kurama couldn't think of anyone who would go out of their way to help a complete stranger. That made him respect you but also grow a little fond of you. Kurama shook his head and forced out a smile.

“Of course, but I will come back in once you put (YFN) into the water. We can't leave her alone in there and it would be better to have two of us watch her.” Kurama said with a calm look.

Kuwabara looked at the red head and thought about what he had said. He agreed with Kurama's words. Although, his gut was screaming at him Kurama wanted to undress you, not mention be in here while you were in the tub. However, he couldn't think about it as his thoughts were interrupted by a low moan from your lips.

You had started to breath a little heavy and sweat began to pour down your face. You seemed to have gotten worse. He saw a few tears come from your closed eyes. This made Kuwabara even more scared for your health.

“Okay, I'll call you in once she's in the water. Now go.” Kuwabara said, worry and a little bit of panic in his eyes.

Kurama stood in the doorway for a few more minutes before closing the door shut behind him. He let out a sigh and ran his fingers through his hair. He decided he should get you some clothes. He figured after you woke up you'd want to get dressed in something warm and dry. He let out a sigh and headed towards the room you and Kuwabara shared.

'Why would you let him undress her? You should have sent him out and done it.' growled Yoko.

'You know he likes her. Besides, you are just in a rut.' Kurama thought as he walked into the room you shared with Kuwabara.

'Sure, I'll admit that is some of the reason. However, you know as well as I do that he doesn't want to admit it. There is a reason he is keeping his distance. I'm not sure what it is but he's stupid to let whatever it is interfere. However, that is his fault and leaves her open for...other options.' Yoko said with a smirk.

'I know. I noticed however, it is still obvious that he loves her. I will not ruin that for him or for her. Besides, I don't love her like that.' Kurama said as he looked through the room to find an outfit that would be loose and comfy on you.

He found your pj drawer and took out a pj set that looked to be fuzzy and warm. It was a blue long sleeve shirt and long dark blue pants. He grabbed them and headed back to the bathroom.

'You know you do. You are just as bad as the human. You need to think about yourself more and go for what you want. That's what I would do.' Yoko said.

'And that is why I'm different from you. I care about her enough to want what will make her happy.' Kurama said before reaching the bathroom door.

He leaned up against the door and got ready to knock.

Meanwhile inside the bathroom....

Kuwabara turned his attention back to your sweating and heavily breathing body. Your lips were partially opened and red. Kuwabara unconsciously licked his lips. However he shook his head and tried to focus on undressing you....without any incidents. His hands shook as they went closer and closer to that first button on your blouse. He gulped before he unbuttoned the first button.

He let out a breath. One button down. Seven more to go. He held his breath again and began to unbutton your blouse. Once he was done, he looked down as sweat was covering your entire body as it seemed. He watched some sweat dribbled down between your bra that was still on you and holding your boobs in place. You looked so innocent and even more beautiful at this moment.

Kuwabara slapped his own face.

“PERVERT!” he yelled at himself before violently shaking his head.

He took in a deep breath and began to seriously get you undressed.

He folded your sweat filled blouse to the side and even was able to take off your bra; tho he somehow avoided looking at your boobs. Now came the really hard part. Your skirt and undies. He gulped as he pulled down your skirt to reveal a very sexy black almost thong looking underwear. He pulled at the corner of his collar.

“Damn it (YFN). You had to pick today to wear sexy undies. Why couldn't you have worn your 'granny' panties.” he mumbled.

“Shut up...”

Kuwabara's eyes widened. He didn't know what to do or say if you had gained consciousness, especially in this very compromising position.

However, luckily for him you were just talking in your sleep. He let out a sigh of relief. However, he jumped when he heard a knock on the door.

“Kuwabara? Have you gotten (YFN) into the tub?” Kurama's voice said from behind the closed door.

Kuwabara cleared his voice.

“N..not yet.”

“Do I have to come in and do it?” Kurama suggested.

Kuwabara instantly responded to that.

“NO, I can handle it.” he said.

“Just don't take too much longer or she will over heat.” Kurama said. “If you don't call me in about 10 minutes, I will come in and undress her myself.” Kurama said before sitting down next to the door.

Kuwabara turned back to you. You were laying there so helpless and innocent. The only piece of clothing on you was your sexy undies. Kuwabara gulped and reached down to remove them when he stopped and got an idea. He let out a sigh and decided that you could keep your undies on. He also put your bra back on; although he found it much harder to put the bra back on then when he had taken it off.

He then turned off the facet as it had been running the entire time. Kuwabara was happy that it didn't over flow. He then carefully picked you up, bridal style and gently lowered you into the freezing cold water.

You began to stir as you felt your entire body shiver. Your hand went up, reaching for something. In your mind, you were looking for your Scooby Doo blanket, as you always grabbed it whenever you felt cold. However, you felt someone's hand grab yours. You felt it gently squeeze yours and whispered your name.

You groaned as you slowly opened your eyes. You blinked a few times until they were fully opened. You found a worried Kuwabara by your side, holding your hand and a concerned looking Kurama sitting next to him on the floor.

“Wh..what happened?” you asked.

You then noticed you where in the bathroom. You looked down and found you were in the bath tub...naked! Your eyes widened and you pulled your hand out of Kuwabara's and covered yourself, even tho you were still in your bra and undies. Your eyes widened even more noticing that you were wearing your 'sexy' undies. Your face turned red. Kuwabara felt your head after seeing the red appear on your cheeks.

“Your fever's gone down.” Kuwabara sighed in relief.

Kurama also looked a bit relieved.

Your head was hurting and you were a bit dizzy. You tried to remember what happened. All you could remember was standing in the middle of the living room talking to Kuwabara and Kurama when you felt dizzy. You couldn't understand what happened. It wasn't like you had been feeling sick or anything. It was then you realized that you got sick from the stress you had. This had happened to you before. However, the last time this happened you ended up waking up on the floor and had to almost literally dragged yourself to the bathroom and sat in the tub with the cold water falling on you while you were still dressed.

However, here you lay in the freezing cold bath tub water, half naked and surrounded by two handsome guys; one of which you loved. As if that wasn't stressful enough, the fact that you didn't want to cry in front of them kinda made you feel even sicker.

“Could...could you guys leave for a little bit.” you ask, hoping they would leave so you could cry out all of the emotion that was bottled up inside.

“I'm not going to leave you. What if you pass out again and drown?” Kuwabara said, worry in his eyes.

You smiled at him.

“Kuwabara is right. We will not leave until your fever is down and you are feeling a little better.” Kurama said.

“Well....I'm fine. You can come back in a few minutes....and maybe bring me something to change in to.” you said.

Kurama smiled at you and held up some pjs.

“I already grabbed them for you.” he said.

All you did was nod. You didn't know what to do. You didn't want to cry in front of them. You were too proud to let them or rather anyone see you cry. Especially while you were almost completely naked. Which you were curious of how that came about. You could have sworn you had your clothes on when you got home. And you didn't remember coming up stairs to take a shower. Your eyes widened as you realized one of them took your clothes off.

“Why am I naked?!” you said with a blush on your face.

You saw Kuwabara's entire face go red to that question. At seeing that reaction you got your answer. However your eyes went red realizing that Kuwabara had seen you naked! Well, almost naked but still. It was embarrassing and it wasn't like he HAD to get you naked. He could have just dropped you into the water as you were.

“Get out!” you shouted.

This made the two jump. They weren't expecting you to get mad.

“I said get out! How dare you take my clothes off! You know you could have just put me in the water with my clothes on! You guys are such pervs! I don't want to even be near you right now!” you shouted trying to cover yourself even more.

It wasn't really why you were mad. Although you were pissed that they decided to take your clothes off. However, you knew that if they didn't leave right this second you would cry and you didn't want them to see you cry. You could already feel the stinging in your eyes.

“But....” Kuwabara started, looking hurt and confused.

“OUT!” you screamed before splashing the cold water on the two.

They both jumped at the water and Kuwabara yelped at how cold it was. They both were now standing and looking at you. Both with confused looks but Kuwabara with more of a hurt felt look. He then shook his head and stood firm.

“I won't! What if you pass out again? I don't want to loose you. I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you.” he said, going back down next to you.

He reached for your hand and held it gently.

You stared at him and felt that you couldn't hold it in anymore. You felt your throat close up as your eyes turned glassy. Kuwabara blinked as he realized that you were trying not to cry. He then realized why you wanted him and Kurama out. You wanted to cry 'in peace'. However, this thought didn't make him leave. No. He just held your hand tighter and looked at you.

“You can cry. Just let it out.” Kuwabara said in a tender voice that was so soft that you instantly obeyed the request.

Tears began to pour down your face and you began to shake. You weren't a loud crier. You were more of a sniffling softly crying crier. You covered your face with your free hand and just sobbed. You let all that was bottled up inside you out. Some of it was even left over from before you had arrived here in this world. You cried and sobbed until your eyes were red and blood shot. Snot came from your nose and your tears covered your entire face. After a good long cry you finally settled down and began to feel better. The water was not as cold as it had started out and was becoming comfortable. Although, you could feel your body was completely prune.

You let out a long sigh when you were finally down your crying. During the entire time, Kuwabara never let go of your hand and stroked your head in a calming fashion. Kurama had sat back down and just rested his head on the tub's edge. He looked like a sad puppy looking at his master. It was cute and you would have smiled and laughed if you weren't too busy crying at the time.

Finally you wiped away the tears and softly asked for a tissue. Kuwabara, with out letting go of your hand, got you some toilet paper and dried your hand for you with a towel before giving you the tissue. You gave him a soft smile before blowing your nose. He held the trash can for you and you tossed out the soiled tissue.

Kurama cleared his throat.

“How do you feel now?” he asked.

You let out a sigh and pursed your lips.

“Better....but....” you said with a sad face.

“But what?” Kuwabara asked, worry in his eyes.

“I..I just didn't want you guys to see me....ya know...like that. That's why I asked you to leave....” you said, lowering your head.

“Hey.” Kuwabara said gently squeezing your hand.

“You can cry in front of me. You know that. Hell, I've cried in front of you!” Kuwabara said with a goofy smile.

You looked at him and remembered one of the nights back when the ghosts used to torment Kuwabara. There was this one night that it was so bad that Kuwabara had cried on your shoulder. You nodded. You should have remembered that. You let out a sigh and nodded.

“I know but...I don't know. I just...I never cry and when I do...well....look at me.” you said with a snort.

In your mind you looked horrible. You had to have looked so ugly and disgusting, especially with the snot that was hanging from your nose. However, Kuwabara chuckled and shook his head, while Kurama smiled and gave a soft laugh.

“You don't look bad. Even with the big loogey hanging from your nose.” Kuwabara laughed as you made a face and tried to reach for another tissue.

Kurama was the one to give you one this time and smiled.

“(YFN), you shouldn't have to hold in your feelings. Its obviously not healthy for you and I can tell you knew this would happen.” Kurama said, his face turning stern.

Kuwabara blinked at Kurama before turning to look at you.

“Ya mean this happens whenever you hold back your feelings?” Kuwabara said a bit confused.

You scratched the back of your head and nodded.

“Yeah...usually I won't let it get this bad. But...I wasn't able to take a cold shower and cry it out...” you said giving an awkward smile.

“(YFN) you should NEVER do this again! If you EVER feel like you're gonna cry or something just do it! And if you need to cry I can leave, though I'd rather be there next to you.” Kuwabara said, the last part mumbled.

You had heard it and were touched. You smiled and nodded.

“I promise...I won't try and do that again.” you said.

Both guys looked at you and nodded.

“Well....” you said after some time.

“I think I should take a shower....a hot one since I'm a little cold....” you said looking a bit awkwardly at the two boys.

Kuwabara nodded and reluctantly let go of your hand. He stood up and began to leave the bathroom, along with Kurama. He stopped at the door and turned around.

“We need to talk once you're done.” he said before giving you a smile and closing the door behind the two of them.

Once they left you let out a long sigh. It was good to let it all out and even though you were a bit embarrassed about having the two guys seeing you cry, well you were happy that you didn't need to hold in too much of your feelings anymore. You shivered. It was time to take a hot shower now. You drained the tub and took off your bra and undies before turning on the shower and making it hot.

A Little While Later....

You enjoyed your long hot shower. It was relaxing and now that your head was clear you felt refreshed and ready for anything that came your way. You dressed in your warm pjs and dried your hair with a towel. You wrapped the towel around your head and began to look for the two guys. You found them back in the living room. They looked as if they were in a deep and serious conversation. You raised your eyebrow and walked into the room.

“Hey...” you said, a little shy.

You couldn't get the thought of them seeing you basically naked out of your head. And by the blush on Kuwabara's face, it seemed as if he too couldn't help but think about it either.

Kurama smiled at you and with his hand waved to sit down.

“We have something we would like to discuss.” Kurama said.

You raised your eyebrow but sat down. Both boys looked at you with serious looks. You tilted your head not sure what this was all about.

“Kuwabara and I have been talking about what we should do about this tournament. We have come to a decision that I will train you both for it.” Kurama said.

You blinked at Kurama and then looked at Kuwabara who had a grin on his face. You then turned towards Kurama .

“Seriously? Where will we do that?” you asked, curious.

It wasn't like there was a place like Genkai's just around the corner.

“I still have a house left over from my Yoko days. Its been vacant for 16 years but it's still in pretty good shape. We could go there and not be disturbed for two months. What do you say?” Kurama said.

He knew that you HAD to go to the tournament. It seemed like Toguro didn't said she HAD to participate; or rather that's what it seemed like from what you had said. So if you didn't go with them to train it was up to you if you wanted to or not.

You stared at the two boys before a wide grin crossed your face.

“That would be awesome! When are we heading there? And where exactly is it located?” you asked, all excited.

Kurama chuckled. He should have known you would want to go. Kuwabara smiled. He was happy you decided to go and a bit relieved. He didn't want to go with out you. He was worried if you were left alone that the scene that happened earlier would happen again. And if he wasn't there to help you, he wouldn't know what to do.

“We are leaving early tomorrow morning. It's located in a safe area of the demon world. I've already talked to Botan and she's agreed to open up a portal for us to go through.” Kurama said.

You blinked at him before looking a bit worried.

“But won't there be dangerous and more powerful demons?” you asked.

“The area that Yoko's house is located has only a few demons and they are weak enough for you and Kuwabara to handle by your selves.” Kurama said.

The room was silent for a bit before you smiled again.

“I'll go pack right now!” you said before standing up and running upstairs.

The two boys laughed before turning serious again.

“You sure this is a good idea?” Kuwabara asked.

He was worried about how Kurama's idea of 'training' would be.

“Yes. At least if she is with us we can make sure she is safe. Especially if the Toguro brother's are back and have already threatened her.” Kurama said with a serious face.

Kuwabara thought about that and nodded in agreement.

“Well, I better pack something too. I'll see you tomorrow.” Kuwabara said, standing up and walking Kurama to the door.

“Rest well Kuwabara, you'll need it.” Kurama said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Kuwabara gulped. He was more worried about Kurama's 'training' than either of the Toguro brothers.
