2: So This Is The Real Shuichi!

Shuichi looked at Resha who sat in front of him in the train.

“This is bad,” he thought.

“No it's not! She would make a cute fiancé.” Youko commented.

“That's beside the point! She is NOT stupid like most girls and she will bound to found out who I am… or who we are sooner or later.” Shuichi pointed.

“Hmm… I wonder how long is it going to take before she founds out. That would be interesting!” Youko pondered smirking.

“Still I don't know how much I can trust her!” Shuichi replied.

“Well duh! You knew each other hardly 24 hours.” Youko mocked.

Shuichi ignored him and continued to ponder.

“Seriously, I could not believe this girl is my fiancé. How could mother do this? I thought she trust me. Furthermore, this girl is… not actually could be called a girl. She's so boyish and is so not wife material. She is going wreck my life. I mean really wreck It.” Shuichi mentally sighed.

“Don't say that too soon, though, I guess… this is not going to be an ordinary life!” Youko treated lightly.

`Here we are dear, make yourself at home.' Mrs. Minamino said smiling.

Resha looked at the house. It was nothing like the dojo.

It was more… city-like.

“Well duh, this is a city!” she pondered dryly.

Resha went into the house, following them.

`Here's your room. If you need anything, Shuichi's room is next to yours and mine is just at the end of this hallway.' Mrs. Minamino said pointing to the far-off door.

“So much for just.” Resha thought with a small sweatdrop.

`Thank you Mrs. Minamino.' she said politely.

Resha remembered her mother keeps telling her repeatedly to be polite when she was there.

`Oh no dear, don't call me that. You could call me mother, and Shuichi by his name.'

Resha's right eye twitched.

“HELL NO!” Her head shrieked.

`Err… could I call you Aunt Shiori instead? You are sort of my aunt.' she managed to murmur demurely.

She seemed a little disappointed. `I… sure, certainly dear.'

Resha was positive she saw Shuichi gave a sigh of relieve from the back of his mother. She mentally smirked at that.

`Mother, I'll cook tonight if you don't mind. You looked all-in.' Shuichi murmured to his mother.

`Oh thank you dear. I do feel a little weary. I think I'll go and take a nap for a tad time.' She kissed him on the cheek and went to her room.

`What would you like to eat?' Shuichi asked the very minute his mother shut her door room. He turned towards Resha and she turned back to look at him, startled, but quickly regains her composure.

`Anything would be nice.' she replied graciously.

He raised an eyebrow, amused.

“Very polite, when did she learn that?” Youko remarked.

`What?' She asked, questioningly.

`No, nothing. Dinner will be ready in half an hour.' he replied, smiling charmingly.

Again, she just nodded without even slightly mesmerized by his charm and went into her room.

Shuichi just shook his head, mentally smirking.

“I never had seen a girl who isn't mesmerized by my smile before. They would blush and stutter like crazy. She is so different,” he thought.

“Yup! She even looks at you in the eyes when she talks to you.” Youko replied smirking, as Shuichi went into the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Resha came into the kitchen 20 minutes later.

`Can I help you with anything?' she asked.

`No thanks. Everything is fine.'

She looked over the dishes prepared, observing them.

He looked at her when she frowned.

`Is something wrong? I assure you, I'm a good cook.' Shuichi joked, smiling at her.

She acknowledged that he was just kidding, and smiled back at him.

“She has an attractive smile.” Shuichi thought.

“True” Youko nodded.

`What?' she asked suddenly when she saw him pausing.

He just smiled and shook his head.

`Nothing.' he replied, mentally slapping himself.

Youko laughed.

`Do you always eat so much?' she asked, her frown back.

Shuichi almost laughed at that.

`Oh, no actually. It's just that you seem to eat a great deal...' he uttered acting as innocent as he can.

She looked at him with half-closed eyes, showing her annoyance.

“She actually looked cute that way.” Youko remarked.

`I'm so moved!' she said sarcastically.

Shuichi's smile finds it's way back to his lips, amused.

She rolled her eyes and spun her head back to observe his cooking.

`I'm not actually surprised that you can cook. Ranma can cook as well, and they were pretty good.' She said a little sadly.

He knew she missed her brother, by the look on her face so he didn't say anything back.

His mother appeared into the kitchen after that, and they sat down to eat.

`I did say that I'm not surprised that you're a good cook, Shuichi, but this is amazing! You are a great cook.' Resha praised him after dinner.

“I'm so full! I ate EVERYTHING he cooked!” she thought.

He smiled.

She started chatting with him and his mother.

Somehow, she felt as if she was home. They treated her really nicely and warmly; it was impossible to be impolite.

`Resha dear, about school, I think you should go to Shuichi's school.' Aunt Shiori stated.

“Meiou High?” she whispered in her head in disbelief.

`I'd love that!' she exclaimed happily.

She heard that the entrance exam is really hard, but hey! It's one of the best schools in Japan!

“Better than Furinkan anytime.” she thought mentally rolling her eyes.

`You'll be taking the entrance exam tomorrow, dear.' Aunt Shiori continued after a startled pause.

She nodded happily.

An hour later Resha paced up and down her room. She needed a workout, but she can't do it in this room. She looked outside her opened window and decided to go somewhere near for some exercises.

The moon was full and shining gaily.

She saw a tree outside Shuichi's window, a narrow branch stretched outside hers. She jumped on top of it agilely, thankful that she is very light.

All of a sudden, she nearly shrieked when she saw a small black figure with shining red eyes looking at her.

`WHAT THE F! Who the hll are you and WHAT THE HLL are you doing there like that!' she bawl in a low tone.

“I thought I almost died!”

Before the silhouette could move, Shuichi opened his window.

`Hiei? Resha?' He uttered stunned.

“Oh, one of Shuichi's friends. Must have come to look for him. I think I better go away.” Resha turned to him.

`Tell aunt Shiori I went for a workout… if she asked you. Sorry if I bothered.' she said and jumped onto the rooftop. A few seconds later, she was gone from sight.

Hiei watched as “the stupid ningen girl” hopped off. He turned his gaze towards Kurama.

`We've got a mission.'

Kurama nodded and made his way outside.

`Where are the others?' he asked.

`Down the street. They are waiting.' Again he nodded and they went off.

Three hours later Resha-chan swept the sweat off her little head. She had turned into her chibi-form about an hour ago to train in that appearance.

“That's a good workout. I think I'll better head back now.” she looked at the full moon.

It actually reminded her of her twin. She heaved a big sigh then felt a strange aura nearing her, and fast.

She turned around.

`Damn it, he's as slippery as eel!' Yuusuke cursed under his breath.

`Emm…' Kurama said, his breathing rugged.

They had been chasing this youkai for like what? Three hours now? He dodged their attack as if he was made out of rubber.

“Hn! His face does look like a rubber eel.” Hiei said in his mind.

They chased him until they came to a park. They all suddenly noticed a small silhouette in the middle of the park.

The youkai saw it too, and swiftly made his way towards it, which Kurama assumed, to make it a hostage.

Resha-chan turned around and gracefully jumped over an eel-face person who almost grabbed her. She kicked his head making him “kissed” the tree in front of him; more like smashed his face into it!

`You must be a tree-hugger.' She pointed sarcastically, in her cute childish voice.

She heard a few footsteps coming near her and spun her head warily as four person stopped in front of her.

`Resha-chan?'

She knew that calm voice. It was Shuichi.

`Shuichi, who is this tree-hugger?' she asked pointing at the now fainted youkai.

The two other persons laughed aloud at her cute comment.

She pouted. Well, she tried to be sarcastic, but her cute, childish voice made her sound like a little innocent kid asking for ice cream.

The last smallest one however went to the youkai and tied him up. She realized he was the person she met on the tree.

“Now that was funny.” Youko was laughing along with the other two.

`Did he hurt you?' Shuichi asked concerned. His mother is going to be upset if anything happened to her, especially in her chibi-form.

Resha-chan shrugged her shoulders.

`Naw, more like I hurt him.' she stated flatly, pointing at the youkai.

They were now looking at her amazed.

`You kicked him into the tree?' Shuichi asked slightly surprised.

`Yes! And what are you doing here anyway?' she asked, putting her hands on her small hips.

`Aww… she's so cute! Who is she, Kurama?' Kuwabara asked, stoking her head.

She smiled at him cutely. She always liked people patting her head like that. She suddenly turned sharply at Shuichi. `Kurama?'

`Err…' Shuichi glared at Kuwabara who took a step back from him.

Resha-chan jumped onto Shuichi's shoulder and sat there. She looked at his surprised face from above his head.

`Care to tell what's going on, Kurama?' she smiled innocently but dangerously, pressing the word Kurama.

Kurama sighed, feeling defeated.

“Wow! Hardly a day, and she already found out. I'm impressed!” Youko declared in triumph.

Kurama grunted in his mind and Youko laughed.

`Alright, I'll tell you, but first let me introduce them.' He said.

Resha-chan nodded and looked at them over his head.

`Hello! My name is Resha, Saotome Resha. I'm…' she said eloquently then hesitated for a while before she continued, `Kurama's cousin.'

“He wouldn't dare!” she thought when Shuichi smirked at her. She tugged at his long hair.

Kurama cringed a little. `Yes, well this is Kuwabara Kazuma, Urameshi Yuusuke and that one is Hiei.'

`Hello little Resha!' Kuwabara exclaimed picking up Resha-chan from Kurama's shoulder.

`Hey ya adorable little girl!' Yuusuke said, messing her hair.

She giggled, it's always funny the way people would treat her in her chibi-form.

`Hn! Stop messing with the brat and lets go and take this “eel-face” to Koenma.' Hiei grumbled.

`Fine, let's go. Kurama you better take her home.' Yuusuke said, pushing her towards Kurama.

Resha-chan grabbed his hand.

`But I want to go too.' she whined, tears filling her eyes. She knew that people never disagree on her when she does that.

“Wow, now that's a good actress! She needs an award!” Youko pointed.

Kurama shrugged him off. He went towards her. `No! We better go home, Resha…'

She tightened her gripped on Yuusuke's arm, a look of forbiddance in her silver eyes.

`No! I want to go. If not, I'll tell your mom about this whole thing! I bet she doesn't know.' she smirked when Kurama stopped, stunned at her words. She was right then.

Kurama sighed a little frustrated.

`Fine, but don't you dare tell my mother!' He spoke a little sternly.

She smiled happily and went to hug him.

`Okay! I promise!' Her silver eyes shone brightly as she looked at him.

“I never thought she could be so childish.” Youko comment as Kurama blushed.

A portal appeared and they went into it.

Once there, Resha-chan blinked in bewilderment as she saw ogres running all around her, carrying paperwork and stuffs.

Kuwabara picked her up.

`Don't be frightened, they are called ogres and are harmless.' He patted her head.

`Err… sure.' She sweatdropped.

They went into a room that was quieter. The was a large table full of piled paperwork. A baby popped out between the paperwork.

`So you've caught the youkai? Good, he will be gladly put into jail.' the little baby spoke in a rather haughty voice.

The “eel-face” youkai was taken away from the room.

Resha-chan lifted up an eyebrow.

`Is he like me?' she asked Kurama.

Kurama smiled and shook his head. `No. He is the Prince of The Spirit World; Koenma.'

Koenma looked at Resha-chan.

`Who is she and why do you brought her here?'

Before anyone could answer him, a girl with aqua hair and blue eyes burst in on an oar. She jumped down and wave to them.

`Hey guys! You've been out for hours. What happened? Have you caught the youkai? and who's this? Wow, she's so cute! Kurama, did you found her? Is she lost? Can I hold her?'

Her bubbly personality frightened Resha-chan and she quickly hid behind Kurama.

`Who is she?' Resha-chan asked him demandingly.

Kurama raised an eyebrow.

`You're not scared, are you, Resha-chan?' he asked back, pressing the word “chan”.

Her eyes twitched.

`Excuse me? Of course I'm not scared of her! Her suddenness and vivacious personality is driving me almost crazy! That is all!' she snapped at him in her small voice.

`Wow, take it easy little one, didn't know you could be so feisty.' Yuusuke uttered a little astonished.

`I'm Botan. Nice to meet you, little girl!' The aqua-head person replied, not losing her bounciness.

By this point, Resha-chan was rather tense.

`I'm not a little girl, I'm 16.' She pointed.

`Aww… she doesn't know the difference between 16 and 6. So cute.' Kuwabara muttered.

She grimaced and rolled her eyes. She saw Kurama trying to hide his smile by covering his mouth with the back of his hand. She glared at him.

`I didn't say anything.' He declared now smiling.

She sighed desperately, and produced a hot bottle from her back. She splashed herself with the hot water, and in front of them stood an extremely pretty, soaked girl.

`Happy?' she said sarcastically, in a silky-smooth voice. She turned to glare at Kurama, who was the only one in the room that is not shocked.

`What?' he asked innocently.

She didn't say anything back.

`How… how did you do that?' Yuusuke asked, still astounded.

`A curse. Cold water turns me little, hot water turns me back.' she said briefly.

`Remember when we went to Jusenkyo in China? She fell into one of the Cursed Springs.' Kurama reminded.

`You mean, those ponds with poles sticking out of it? The one Kuwabara almost fell into one?' Yuusuke asked amused and amazed.

`Yes.' Kurama and Resha said in unison.

`What's your name?' Koenma inquired.

`Resha, Saotome Resha.'

`Ah, yes. I've heard about you. You have a twin, ne? You both are well known in China.' He nodded shortly.

It was her turn to be surprised.

Kuwabara headed towards her.

`Where did you hide that bottle, I never notice it before.' he questioned.

Resha sweatdropped.

`Never mind that. I always carry it, for times like these.'

“Smart-ass” Youko said suddenly in Kurama's mind.

`I think we should head back home now. Please excuse us. Lets go, Resha.' Kurama said.

Resha nodded and followed him.

Kurama told about himself and about Youko as they headed home.

`I see. So, you have another spirit in you and he's a fox youkai. That explain the odd eerie aura I felt sometimes whenever I'm with you.' she muttered.

“Eerie?” Youko asked a little offended.

Kurama was surprised at that. `You mean; you can feel his present?'

`Of course! And it's bothering me. Tell him to stop looking at me that way!'

“What way?” Youko asked slighted.

`What way?' Kurama asked astounded.

She looked at him uncomfortable.

`I don't know how to say it. It felt as if… as if…' color was rising on her cheek.

`Yes?' Kurama encouraged curiously.

Youko was now smirking, watching her; he knew exactly what she was feeling.

She felt that disturbing sensation again. It felt as if someone was touching her, teasing, caressing.

`Like what he's doing now!' she snapped.

Youko snickered and Kurama frowned.

“Youko, I don't understand what she's saying. Did you do something to her?” Kurama asked in his mind.

“Hey, I never touch her… yet.” he smirked.

Kurama understand immediately. `I see what you mean.'

She blinked, surprised then hastily shrugged it off.

`So… Aunt Shiori doesn't know anything about this whole thing?' she asked, changing the subject.

`Yes. So please don't tell her and other people about this, no matter what happen.' he said a little worried.

Resha nodded in agreement. `Alright, I promise you I won't tell anyone especially Aunt Shiori.'

Kurama smiled at her and she smiled back assuring.

`Good night, Resha.'

Just as he was about to enter his own room, Resha stopped him.

`Wait, Kurama!'

Kurama stopped.

`Yes?'

`Err… about the fiancé thingy, could we dropped it out for a while? At least… until we could find a way out of it.' She said uncertainly.

Kurama blinked, surprised.

Resha frowned at that.

`Then… you are okay about us betrothed to each other?' she asked.

Kurama blushed slightly.

`No, of course not! I was just startled… that's all.' He could really use a slap now.

“I would be honored!” Youko said, laughing at him.

`Friends then?' she asked, smiling attractively, her silver eyes reflecting the moonlight making her look extremely lovely.

“She is seriously beautiful.” Youko remarked quietly.

`No problem.' Kurama said smiling back, ignoring him.

After that, they said goodnight to each other and went to sleep.
