Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ 10 things I hate about you Yu Yu Hakusho style ❯ Part 5 ( Chapter 5 )

INT. WOODSHOP - DAY

Boys and a few stray girls nail their pieces of wood

Botan sits next to Koto, a Coffee Kid, who holds out her

jacket like the men who sell watches in the subway. Inside

several bags of coffee hang from hooks.

KOTO

Some people like the Colombian, but it

all depends on your acidity preference.

Me? I prefer East African and

Indonesian. You start the day with a

Sumatra Boengie or maybe and Ethiopian

Sidamo in your cup, you're that much

farther ahead than someone drinkin'

Cosia Rican or Kona -- you know what I

mean?

Botan nods solemnly.

ACROSS THE ROOM

Kurama sits at a table with Yomi, making something that

looks like a machete out of a two-by-four.

Kuwabara approaches, full of good-natured farm boy cheer

KUWABARA

Hey, there

In response, Kurama brandishes a loud POWER TOOL in his

direction.

Kuwabara slinks away.

KUWABARA

(continuing)

Later, then.

Botan watches, shaking her head.

INT. CAFETERIA - DAY

Yusuke and his pals take turns drawing boobs onto a cafeteria

tray with a magic marker.

Botan walks up and sits between them, casual as can be

BOTAN

Hey.

YUSUKE

Are you lost?

BOTAN

Nope - just came by to chat

YUSUKE

We don't chat.

BOTAN

Well, actually, I thought I'd run an

idea by you. You know, just to see if

you're interested.

YUSUKE

We're not.

He grabs Botan by the side of the head, and proceeds to

draw a penis on her cheek with the magic marker. Botan

suffers the indignity and speaks undaunted.

BOTAN

(grimacing)

Hear me out. You want Yukina don't

you?

Yusuke sits back and cackles at his drawing.

BOTAN

(continuing)

But she can't go out with you because

her brother is this insane head case and

no one will go out with him. right?

YUSUKE

Does this conversation have a purpose?

BOTAN

So what you need to do is recruit a guy

who'll go out with him. Someone who's

up for the job.

Botan points to Kurama, who makes a disgusted face at his

turkey pot pie before he rises and throws it at the garbage

can, rather than in it.

YUSUKE

That guy? I heard he ate a live duck once. Everything but

the beak and the feet.

BOTAN

Exactly

Yusuke turns to look at Botan.

YUSUKE

What's in it for you?

BOTAN

Oh, hey, nothin' man Purely good will

on my part.

He rises to leave and turns to the others.

BOTAN

(continuing)

I have a dick on my face, don't I?

INT. LUNCH ROOM KITCHEN - DAY

Botan stands at the sink, trying to scrub Yusuke' artwork

off her face as Kuwabara watches.

KUWABARA

You got him involved?

BOTAN

Like we had a choice? Besides -- when

you let the enemy think he's

orchestrating the battle, you're in a

position of power. We let him pretend

he's calling the shots, and while he's

busy setting up the plan, you have time

to woo Yukina

Kuwabara grins and puts an arm around her

KUWABARA

You're one brilliant girl

Botan pulls back, noticing other guys and girls filing in.

BOTAN

Hey - I appreciate gratitude as much as the next girl.

Kuwabara pulls back and attempts to posture himself in a

manly way for the others, now watching.
