Fun Over Work

 

"Ow, my head hurts." Gold holds her forehead, get up, and looks around. "Why am I on the table?" She looks at Atsuko who is on the couch. "Oh yea, I remember now. I was crying in Mom's shirt and she offered me a drink. That's the last thing I remember." Her head starts pounding again. "I guess I took the drink and after that I had more and got drunk." She gets up and remembers Yusuke is home.

 

Gold goes to his room and sees him sleeping peacefully, too peacefully for her. So she pushes him off his bed, "That's better." She smiles and lies on his bed. "He could sleep through a tornado and never wake up." Gold gets even more pissed off at him, so she decide to take something that means a lot to him. "Hmm, lets see. He has too many clothes for me to take. Hell no am I touching his nasty boxers. I don't even know why he has magazines, Oh they're playboy." She finds the perfect thing, so she grins evilly.

 

"He always has his hair gelled. He won't miss it that much." She hides it in her room and wants to scream in his ear, but then she remembers she has a hangover from last night. She kicks him a couple times but he doesn't budge. "This is boring." Gold leaves his room, and pass the living room. "Hmm, Mom got up." She finds a note on the kitchen table.

 

~/Gold, Yusuke, went out for a couple days, be back later. Love Mom.\~ Gold feels comfortable being in the house for only a day.

 

She takes some Aspirin to get rid of her headache. The bottle says it takes 20 minutes for a headache to go away. So she lies in her bed for an hour.

 

"Gold, Gold! Where the hell is it!? I know you took it!" His screams waking Gold up half way. He goes in her room, "Gold, I know you took it and you pushed me off the bed!"

 

She is still half-asleep, "F*ck off."

 

"F*ck off? What! You were the one who came in my room, stole my gel, and pushed me off my bed! I could kill you!" Gold just yawns and closes her eyes. "Err. Get out of bed and give me back my hair gel!" She pulls her pillow out from under her and puts it on top of her head so she can't hear him. "Err, she hasn't even listened to a word I've said." He grabs the pillow and starts hitting Gold with it. "How you like them apples. Ha, can you hear me now?" She finally wakes up all the way.

 

"Can't a person get some sleep? Two days in a row someone wakes me up."

 

He gets a grin on his face, "Oh, so your boyfriend slept over two nights ago." For that comment, Gold picks up the closest solid object she finds and throws it at him, hitting him on the head. "Ow. Tell me where my hair gel is! Get off your lazy ass and give it to me. I can't go out with my hair like this." Gold sees him for the first time without gel in his hair. It isn't brushed and more hair falls in his face than normal.

 

She finally gets out of bed. "I'll give it to you on one condition." He thinks about it for a moment.

 

"What is it?" He starts getting a little impatient.

 

When Gold is ready to continue, she smirks. “You have to tell Koenma to not send Hiei over here anymore."

 

He is about to say 'no' but then he realizes that is the only way to get his gel back. "That's it? That's all I have to do. That's a breeze. Ok where's my gel?"

 

When he says that, Gold starts cracking up. "I'm not that stupid. You think that I'm stupid enough to give you the gel first so you do the favor I asked." Gold gets up. "We'll finish this conversation when I finish peeing."

 

When Gold is finished in the bathroom, she finds Yusuke searching her room. She knows he won't find it because it's in her dresser behind her underwear and bras. "Go ahead, search. It's not in my room." He doesn't believe a word Gold says. Then he gets close to the dresser. He opens the draw and sees her bras and underwear.

 

“Ew, you nasty pervert, you had it in your underwear.” Before he could take it, Gold grabs it and runs out of the room.

 

“Catch me if you can.” She looks behind, sticking her tongue out at him. Gold runs around the house. Yusuke runs after her. She runs through the kitchen, than in the hall.

 

His room is the next room to run in. Yusuke corners Gold. “Now I got you.” He runs at her, but she jumps over his head. Yusuke runs in the wall. Gold runs out of the room, closing the door behind she so it makes it harder for him the catch and corners her again. Next, Gold runs in the living room and right when she is about to go in the bathroom and lock it, she bumps into something.

 

“Koenma wants to see you.” Gold looks up and see non-other than Hiei!

 

Yusuke comes running in and found the gel on the floor. “I got it. Ha ha ha.” He holds his hand that isn't holding the gel, making it into a victory sign.

 

“What idiotic thing are you doing.” He is standing in the same spot expressionless.

 

“Oh, hi Hiei. What brings you here?” Yusuke just realizes Hiei is here.

 

“Hn.” He starts to walk away, but Gold gets in front of him, stop him from moving forwards.

 

“You should have decency to wait for us.”

 

“Hn.” He stops and waited. Thank goodness Gold doesn't take long to get ready. She is afraid he will leave.

 

Yusuke gets dresses then puts his hair-gel on and now is ready. Gold finishes five minutes after him and they are all ready.

 

Gold starts to walk to where the portal was before. “So Hiei, why does Koenma wanna me?” He doesn't answer her. “Fine, be mean.” She sticks her tongue out at him. She decides to talk to Yusuke instead. “So Yusuke, tell me why are you even friends with this creep.”

 

He knows Gold doesn't like Hiei, so all he can do is shrug his shoulder and say, “I don't know.” To get off the topic Yusuke asks, “I didn't have time to have breakfast. Could we get a bite to eat before we see the toddler?”

 

“I'm all for it.” This is the first good idea Yusuke has that Gold has seen - skipping the toddler's annoying lectures.

 

Hiei just keeps walking. “Do as you wish.” And then he vanishes.

 

“I'll never get him. Yusuke, I was wondering. What's more important - Going to Koenma's or eating?”

 

“Everyone knows the answer to that. Eating of course!” He says it with excitement.

 

“Yea, that's the kinda attitude we need. Now lets get a bite to eat. But where do we go?”

 

“We could get some coffee at Dunkin Donuts.”

 

Gold jumps up in joy at the word Donuts. “Oh and we could get a dozen donuts or a couple dozen!”

 

Gold scares him. “Um, Yea, sure, I guess.”

The two of them eat donuts and have coffee. A half-hour later they finish. “Mmm. That was good.” Gold finishes her coffee. “Wasn't there something we were supposed to do after we ate?” Gold has forgotten that Koenma wants to see her.

 

“I thought we were going to the arcade.” He's forgotten about it, too. “There's one a couple of blocks away from here.”

 

They walk a couple of blocks when Gold realizes what she have to do, “Oh my God. Koenma's. We needed to go to Koenma's.” She panics a little, but then she gets her cool back. “Oh well.”

 

“Did you wanna go there to Koenma's, cause I really don't wanna go.” He acts calm like that was his plan from the start.

 

“Yea, sure we'll go when we're done.” They walk to the arcade. Gold is great at games especially your favorite, DDR. They have a lot of racing games and old school games, like pinball. They have fighting games, shooting games, racing games, computer poker games, slots, crane games, sport games, ski ball, foos ball, air hockey, pool tables, DDR and a lot more games.

 

Gold and Yusuke battle it out in the racing games and Gold wins most of the time. Then She has a dance-off with Yusuke on DDR. Yusuke can't get any of the moves right.

 

Gold sees the air hockey table not being used so she pulls Yusuke to the table, “Ohh, lets play air hockey.” At home she would make bets with Amaya that if she had won, she could skip school and not get in trouble for doing so. Of course she was the champion. But there were a couple times when Gold didn't win and the bet was that if Amaya wins then Gold has to go to school without complaining.

 

“Yusuke, If I win, you have to tell Koenma to stop sending Hiei over.” Gold tries so hard, she can't stand Hiei or at least she tells herself that.

 

“Not again with this. Fine but what if I win? What would you do for me?” Yusuke says it with so much calm in his voice that Gold becomes nervous.

 

Gold wants to send out as much confidence as possible. “I doubt that would happen, but go ahead make your bet.”

 

“Fine, let me think... Hmm” He pretends to think for a second. “I got it!” Gold doesn't like his cocky attitude. “If I win, you have to be hand cuffed to Hiei for two weeks!”

 

“What?!” Gold thinks it over and comes to the conclusion that she will win. “I accept.” The both of them shake hands. Then Gold put the money in the air hockey machine and get ready. “You ready to get beat by a woman?” Gold is staring at him intensely.

 

“I was born ready.” He stares at her intensely, also.

 

The two of them are ready. The puck shoots out. “Let's begin.”

 

Gold hits it first to the left of him. He hits it back, but she hits it hard and the first goal is made by Gold. “The first one to ten wins.” The second round lasts for 2 minutes. Gold scores again. “Getting nervous are we?”

 

Yusuke makes the next score. The score is 2-1.

 

Ten minutes later the score is close. It is 8-9 Yusuke in the lead. “Damn Yusuke's ahead by one. I can't let him win.” Gold forgets about the bet. The only thing keeping her from losing is her pride. Her pride won't allow him to win. This is either the last round or the second to last round, Gold hopes for the second to last round.

 

Gold starts the round OK, trying to find a spot where he is opened. She finds the spot, he isn't guarding the left side. She hits it in that direction and it goes in. The score is 9-9 tied, all or nothing, lose or win. This is the round that counts.

 

“You got lucky, I gave that to you so this could be the deciding round. I won't go easy on you this time.” He isn't lying when he says he wants this to be the deciding round.

 

“Good, I won't go lightly on you either. You nervous?” Gold wants to exert as much confidence as possible. “You know, I work better under pressure. I always give my opponent five free points so they don't loose that bad.”

 

“We talked so much already, I don't think my attention span can take it.” They are standing at their goals, guarding it with their lives. “Ready.” They shout at the same time, “Begin!”

 

Yusuke starts; he hits it to the left of her. 10 minutes of hitting and no scoring goes by. The two of them are getting a little tired but they still had the puck going. Gold almost screws up, but she catches it just in time. ~I got him, he's not guarding the right of him.~ She hits it hard to the right, but Yusuke hits it right back to her and before she knows it, Yusuke scored.

 

*9-10 Yusuke wins*

 

“I won, I won, and according to the bet you have to be hand cuffed to Hiei for two weeks.” He makes his victory sign.

 

Gold is stunned, she can't move. “How? How could I lose? But I had that. I would have won.”

 

“Come on I think Koenma is pissed at us already.” She still can't move. “Come on Gold, Koenma is gonna kill us.” Yusuke hits her on the head and she snaps out of it.

 

“I hate you!” Gold storms out of the arcade. “Which way to Koenma's?”

 

“I hate you, too. It's that way.” He points tot the left.
