Warning(s): Light swearing; Perverseness
Yuusuke, being the youkai he was, knew the looks and tension in the air between them better than anyone. He was many things, but first and foremost he was a pervert. Kagome and Hiei had more than their share of stolen glances, heated fighting and teasing, arguments, and longing touches. He was certain that they forgot they were not together in those moments, and the looks on their faces proved it.
Until their glances would linger a moment too long, they would get physically too close to each other, they would remember what it felt like to kiss the other silly or screw them stupid, and it would bring their "moment" to an anti-climatic end. It was awkward for them, and it was awkward as hell to witness it. And Yuusuke did not do awkward.
Though, even months after bringing them together, they were still tight-lipped about their whirlwind romance, he was perverted enough to put two-and-two together. And he was practical enough to figure out the time line enough to know why and how it had ended. And he was enough of a male to know that they were one incident away from trying the relationship thing one more time.
Yuusuke was going to be that "one incident."
He knew if word ever reached Keiko of what he was going to do, she would kill him. But it was a sacrifice he was willing to make since Kurama nor Shippou would. More than that, he saw Hiei as a friend enough to do this for him. He better get some sort of thanks in the morning.
It was a well-known fact that Kagome spent most nights at her store going over records or making new merchandise or getting the store in order as she could not afford more staff. He knew it was half that and half giving Souta and Yukina a few extra hours to use her apartment for whatever it was those two did. And Hiei would stay with her to "make sure no idiot tries anything."
Yuusuke was going to be that idiot.
And plus, if it worked then Hiei would not be inclined to kill him. Or tell Keiko. Possibly. He was banking on Kagome keeping Hiei from saying something.
The second he walked into the store with a cheeky smile, both targets exchanged uneasy looks. He knew that Hiei knew that grin: he wanted him to know that something was up. And he was certain that Kagome had had enough experience with Shippou to know he was going to do something.
As he leaned forward against the counter separating him from Kagome, she leaned backward. He heard Hiei shift and could feel his glare.
"So, Kagome-chan," he drawled and took a special pleasure from the way she blushed, "how much longer are you going to be tonight?"
She glanced between him and Hiei, obviously trying to put two-and-two together. "Another hour or so... Why, Yuusuke-kun?"
"Just curious... You know, there's a couple of bars that'll still be open. Feel like getting a drink? Or should we just skip that and head back to my place?"
Her horrified look was almost enough for him to break his cover and reveal it all to be a hoax.
Yet Hiei stopped him from that. He gulped as he felt his collar dig into his neck from how Hiei was dragging him. "You're lucky she'd be upset if I killed you in front of her," he heard Hiei all but hiss in his ear.
And then his ass connected painfully with the street outside.
"You could've just told me to fuck off, y'kno! Like a normal person!"
He could hear the door lock and could not help the grin that spread across his face. He whistled a merry tune as he got up, brushed himself off and headed home. Both Hiei and Kagome better be thanking him in the morning if they managed to leave her bed.
Yet he would enjoy rubbing it in the faces of Kurama, Souta and Shippou. His "plan" only took five minutes to work; they had been trying to get theirs to work for six months. He may not think through his plans at all, but damned if they did not work.
And plus, he just proved that they were not hopeless like Kurama had believed.

It was odd to watch people pick up the pieces of a relationship. Though perhaps Yuusuke would not use the word "odd".
