*From Friends To Lovers*

Chapter 5: Pranks and Pain

As the sun rose, bird’s chirped letting the world hear their songs, not a thing stirred that is until. SPLASH, WHOOSH and then absolute silence until a loud, deafening voice began screaming death threats.

“YUSUKE URAMESHI, YOU ARE SO DEAD WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!!”

Kurama, Kuwabara, Hiei and Sesshoumaru as well as the two soaking children were awakened by Kagome’s screams. The two children, had not known that they had also been a target of Yusuke’s little prank. They dashed into the upstairs hallway awaiting the person who had been screaming to emerge. Kagome exited her room, eye’s practically glowing in anger and annoyance. They all wisely stepped to the side to let her past.

“Where did he go?” She hissed. They gulped, pointing towards the downstairs living room. It wasn’t bad enough that the substance he poured on them had been ice cold but he also just couldn’t resist leaving honey and jelly out. His ‘substance’ was one he’d used ever since childhood. It consisted of jelly, honey, vaseline, and a mixture of really bad smelling stuff. She never did figure out what that stuff was he simply referred to it as his ‘secret ingredient’, made her shiver when he mentioned his ‘secret ingredient’. It was the one thing that struck true fear into her as a child. After all it reeked not to mention it reminded her suspiciously of vomit.

Kagome took a deep soothing breath so she could regain her patience. Well at least she tried to. She almost gagged at the scent of Yusuke’s secret ingredient, she didn’t even want to know what he put in it, she probably wouldn’t be able to stomach it. She’d get Yusuke later, but first things first, she needed to get this gunk off of her. And the children. Those poor souls, she wouldn’t be surprised if they were tossing there cookies. She had the first time she smelt his horrendous concoction called ‘Secret ingredient’.

She stormed right past the startled men, once again and into her mothers room. She scooped the gunk covered kid’s up and made her way to her own room. Yusuke would be sleeping in her mothers room now. It would take forever to get the smell out. She quickly stripped both children and herself and entered the steaming hot water. It would be a while before they got all that stuff out. After all it was sticking to their body. She wondered absently if it was rotting something, like flesh. Rotting flesh did that. At least she thought it would.

And Yusuke would soon look like the gunk sliding down her flesh if she had anything to say about it. He would feel pain and she would enjoy every minute of his suffering. Perhaps she would let him be eaten by a huge fish after she covered him in jelly and bread crumbs. Or she could make him suffer by stuffing a skunk into his room. Or....

The possibilities were endless.

She grinned. She knew exactly what she would do.

As she finished scrubbing off both herself and Rin as well as Shippo who were complaining the whole way. They were scared of the grin that suddenly made it’s way onto her face. They shuddered in fear. Grinning like that couldn’t possibly mean anything good. They pitied the person on the receiving end of that grin. Yusuke. He was in for a whole new world of pain and fear. She would bring new definition to Horror. She was after all scheming. Kagome was scary when mad. But when she was scheming she was worse. Much worse.

It was only after dinner that night did they find out what she’d done. Yusuke’s horrified yell came only minutes after he entered the shower. He had an unpleasant surprise waiting for him in his bathtub. Spiders. He had a very traumatic experience with spiders when he was younger. Left him scarred. Then after he had gotten rid of the said spiders and taken his shower. He was greeted with his reflection. His hair was orange. Now that wouldn’t have been so bad, if he could pull off having orange hair and eye brows. It just didn’t look right. Kagome enjoyed his screams, her plan was working perfectly.

She couldn’t wait until the next part of her ‘plan’ came. He would absolutely detest it. You see he had a habit of getting under the covers without looking. She smirked as another angry, disgusted yell came from the direction of Yusuke’s new room. He must have found the children’s gifts. It wasn’t their fault that they couldn’t stand the stench of his concoction and vomited, was it? She must have conveniently missed it.

Yusuke’s eye twitched. Kagome was pure evil. All he’d done was pour his famous concoction on her. Surely he did not deserve this kind of torture. Did he? He certainly hoped he would not be getting any more surprises from her. Shuddering in barely suppressed fear and disgust. It was gross. Speaking of which...How exactly did she manage to do everything she’s done so far?

As he got up from the bed cursing he came face to face with...a rat? He squealed. Squealed I say. Kurama paused as did everyone else in the house wondering if they heard correctly. Yusuke squealing, like a school girl. What bad mental images for everyone. Kagome was enjoying herself tremendously. Who wouldn’t in her position. If there was one thing he detested more than spiders it was rats. He had claimed as a child that the rats had attacked him and attempted to kiss him. Kagome found that hilarious.

He scrambled back onto the vomit covered bed. He’d risk the vomit over the rat any day. That is until he realized that the rat was not breathing. Meaning it wasn’t alive. Signifying it was fake. He didn’t believe that Kagome would put a dead rat into his room. Or would she? Just as he was going to yank it down he decided not to. After all maybe it was dead. That would be gross.

“Kagome.” He growled.

As he slammed the bedroom door open he was drenched in a sticky substance and feathers. He stormed down to the living room where everyone else gathered to watch a movie. Kagome fell on her rump laughing so hard, Kuwabara was already on the floor laughing. Kurama couldn’t help but chuckle. Hiei and Sesshoumaru smirked. Even the kids were laughing at him. His hair was orange, he was covered in vomit, and looked like a chicken. Could things get any worse?

You Bet.

Koenma suddenly appeared in the room. Gapping at Yusuke’s new look he didn’t know exactly how he should react. Yusuke looked ready to explode. His face turning brighter than his now orange hair. Kagome composed herself staring at the toddler in her living room. It was odd to say the least.

“Nice look Yusuke. It suits you.” came the sneer from a young brown haired human girl who had appeared with the blue haired grim reaper and toddler.

Yusuke stormed away, hurt. The scent of tears was slight on the air. Kagome growled dangerously at the brown haired mouse. No one insulted her friends and got away with it. Certainly not some little chit who thought she could just prance into her home acting like she owned the place, dressed like a whore and then insulting her friend.

“WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? COMING INTO MY HOME, INSULTING MY BEST FRIEND, YOU DAMN WENCH?!?! WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? AT LEAST HE LOOKS GOOD IN SOMETHING. YOU LOOK HIDEOUS YOU DAMN BITCHING WHORE. NOW LEAVE BEFORE I RIP THAT LITTLE MOUSE LIKE HEAD FROM YOUR BODY!!!” Kagome screamed panting with how much air she’d used up.

“Get Out.” She hissed her eyes slowly turning crimson. She was going to kill that woman.

Mouse lady as Kagome dubbed her left with the toddler and grim reaper who were giving her dirty looks. She growled impressively, intimidating them all. She was an angry demoness, an angry, possessive, powerful, royal demoness who wanted blood. Kagome darted up the stairs hoping to comfort her friend. What started off as simple pranks turned into something horrible. She didn’t mean for him to cry. But she also didn’t know that wench would be there.

She pushed the bathroom door open, not caring about his nude state. He was sobbing in the tub as the water beat down on him. Kagome pulled him out of the water not worried about his naked state or the fact he was dripping wet. She toweled him off, turning away blushing at his more, sensitive parts. Dragging him to her room, shoving him on the bed and cradling his shaking body to her own. She purred to comfort him, humming. She hated seeing him in pain, it hurt her. She would kill that woman the next time she saw her.

“Yusuke?”

“Why is she so cruel? What did I do?” Yusuke cried.

“I loved her.” Sobbing Yusuke allowed Kagome to comfort him.

She held him closer to her. His pain was almost tangible. So she let him cry. Crying was a release sometimes, he just needed to cry. To let it all out. Keeping it inside would kill him, it would slowly suffocate him. She knew, she’d experienced the pain of keeping it inside. He had covered his past hurt from his own father abandoning him. Hiding all he felt behind a mask of cocky arrogance, his own bad-boy facade. She could see it taking it’s toll on him. And it killed her knowing there was nothing she could do for him.

“Then she was a fool.” Yusuke looked up at her.

“She was a fool for not seeing how wonderful you are.” Kagome elaborated.

“No, I was a fool for thinking a girl like her could ever love me.”

“Shut up. You are wonderful. You’re strong, powerful, caring, kind, funny, loving even if you don’t show it. If I hear you ever saying things like that again, I’ll smack you myself.” Kagome ranted. Yusuke smiled his eyes closing in a slight slumber.

Kagome’s rant died down when she saw him drift off into sleep. She was glad he was resting. It would take tears, rest, peaceful, relaxation and acceptance before he could move on. And lots of junk food. She just wanted to see him smile again.

His smiles were beautiful. And she would do anything to see the happiness behind them, once more instead of the fake, forced ones now. She would make that woman pay for hurting him. He was hers. Protecting what was hers is what she did best. She would do anything to see him smile. Even if it meant being nice to that woman, even if it meant bringing that girl back into his life. Even if it meant her own happiness.
