"We choose... Kuwabara!" Kurama almost fell over with that exclimation from the leader of his team. A round of 'EH?s' followed Yusuke's exclimation. Yusuke slapped a hand over his eyes.
"Kuwabara stand next to Chuu, Rinku would want to see the face of the guy we pick." Kurama felt confused, Youko however was the embodiment of it.
#I am confuzzled and bamboozled and, well, just plain confused. Who are they picking? Who are they picking?#
'I'm not sure. Be quiet, I think they are letting us know who the privileged man is going to be. If this man can't take care of her, he'll be answering to my rose whip when this is all said and done.'
#Hear, Hear!#
'Hush!'
Kurama fazed in to see the members of this meeting snickering for some odd reason. To ask his question, Kurama blinked and raised an eyebrow. Hiei taking pity on his friend decided to fill him in.
"While you were talking with Youko in there, I let everyone here, excluding Keiko, know what was being said. We all think that it would be funny seeing you answer to your own threat fox, if you don't match your own expectations that is." Kurama blinked before adding,
"Eh?" Hiei began to chuckle once again. Kuwabara was the one to clarify.
"We choose you, Kurama." Kurama looked at Kuwabara quizzically. Yusuke grinned at Kurama.
"Come on Kurama. Who do you think we were describing. I mean Jin's suggestion was a dead give-away to who we wanted." Kurama frowned at Yusuke.
"I think I understand where you were getting ideas for most of them, but what about the last? Surely you must be mistaken." Yusuke walked over towards Kurama a serious look on his face.
"You really don't expect me to believe that you don't like Keiko, do you? I mean we all have noticed it, well, except her. But, come on Kurama. We've been working together how long? After a while you kind of get an idea of what is going on in someone's head." Kurama looked confused.
"If you knew, why didn't you say anything about it?"
"You never acted on what you felt. Besides, I felt like being selfish with her and ignored it. Understand?" Kurama slowly nodded.
"Alright I understand. I'll do it, but I need to know how you at least want me to train her. You know how I train and you know how I fight. But Keiko isn't Kuwabara, so how I go about things will have to change." Yusuke and Kuwabara looked thoughtful. Hiei beat them to the punch.
"Hn. The best way to go about it is to find her pace and then work from there." Yusuke nodded.
"Yeah, that and you may have to explain some techniques to her. Once you explain and show her, Keiko'll pick it up pretty quick. Surprising actually, how quick she does learn." Kuwabara snorted.
"Not really. Keiko needed to learn quick in order to be able to keep you under control Urameshi."
"True. Very true."
“Alright then. I get the idea. However if we are to ever leave this place, then we will need some ideas. That and how should we, at least, keep in contact with each other. Hiei and I can talk to each other pretty easily. Kuwabara I think you once said you could only contact Yukina. Yusuke, well, I think you’re the only one without telepathic abilities right now.” Yusuke snorted at Kurama.
“That’s not totally true. Hokashin AN: I think that’s his name… if not please tell me. has been training me on that so if I want…”
%I can talk like this. Heh, it comes in handy at times.%
All the others started when they all heard Yusuke’s voice in their heads. But it was Kuwabara who voiced his disturbance.
“Ah! I have Urameshi in my head! Get him out! Get him out!”
Keiko heard the outburst and walked over to the men.
“Is everything okay? Why was Kuwabara screaming?”
The other looked at her and began to rub the backs of their heads, grinning. Yusuke was the one to explain what happened.
“Hey Keiko, you know that trick I showed you a while back where I spoke in your mind?” He waited until Keiko nodded. “I just gave Kuwabara a bit of a surprise. I don’t think I did a good job of preparing him, you know?”
“I understand. Did you guys pick between you?” A pale blush arose onto Keiko’s face, gently highlighting her cheekbones. Kurama saw her blush and nervously licked his lips. Unbidden, a voice rose in the back of his mind.
#As if you’re nervous. You just want to taste her. Heh, this is a good thing. Because now we will have our little firefly all to ourselves. And you had better behave, or else!#
‘Excuse me? Who do you think you are you talking to? I know what you want to do to her, and I am going to tell you this now. Don’t even think about it.’
#As if you haven’t thought about it. And if I did, what are you going to do about it? Become a priest?#
‘You know that isn’t a half bad idea. I was curious about how a monk lived, this may be a really good opportunity to find out.’
#*gasp* NO! NO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BECOME A MONK, that would be bad. Very bad for our, um, oh yes, our, um, health. Yeah that’s it. We would die from, um, lack of, um, activity. Mmmmmm Hmmmmmm. Death from lack of activity. Very painful, oh yes, very painful indeed.#
%Oi. Kurama, I think that fox half of yours is getting the better of you. Oh, and Keiko knows of your *ahem* special assignment. Oh and Youko, do try to go easy on her… if not your own rose whip won’t be what you’ll be answering to. Kay?%
#No need to worry about that Yusuke. Nothing will be done without her express permission, you have my word.#
%Alright, oh, and be careful. I have no idea what you’ll both be putting up with while you’re with Keiko. Later!%
‘Thank you Yusuke’ Kurama felt Yusuke leave his head after he sent that last thought.
#*snort* Like I would have to force her to do anything. Wait, is he listening still?#
‘No he isn’t. Why do you ask?’
#Well, I’d rather not be threatened for anything that I might say.#
‘Might say? You had better make that will say Youko.’
#Alright, alright. But I still say that if anything happens, I’m not forcing it. Its not as much fun like that. She’ll be there of her own free will. Though no one has ever said no to me before. So I have no doubt that it will only be a matter of time before we both get laid.#
‘You’re arrogance astounds me Youko. How do you know that she will be even interested in us?’
#Don’t worry, I know.#
‘I’m not going to say anything more. But I think we should talk to Keiko and see what she wants us to do.’
#You just want to get her alone. Pervert.#
‘Hardly. And isn’t this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?’
#You are what you preach.#
‘I just said that!’
#No you didn’t. You said that this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I just made it easier to understand.#
‘I am so going to ignore you.’
Luckily for Kurama someone began to try and get his attention. Coming out of his mind, he found himself looking into the most beautiful brown eyes that he could ever remember seeing. Then he noticed the worry that surrounded them. He offered an apologetic smile at which the person to whom the eyes belonged to relaxed. Snickers were heard around the silent room as Kurama belated realized that both he and Keiko were the center of attention. A blush forcefully burned its way onto his face.
“Alright now that that’s settled. How about we get going on the rest of the stuff that seems to have fallen into our laps.” Yusuke looked at his trusted friends and smiled sadly. Now that they had given Kurama a chance to show how he felt about Keiko, he began to worry about Kuwabara, Hiei, and himself knowing that things could get bad before they were able to get out of here.
Nodding his companions went back to their seating arrangements and once again silence overcame them. Fidgeting slightly, Keiko looked at those who were here at that particular moment. And decided that it would be best that she started off since it would be she who would be assigning the rest of her trusted friends with some of the women of this particular village. Thinking quickly, she decided who was going to who in this situation. After what felt like a month, which was only a few seconds, Keiko had decided who the three women were that were going to get her friends. Smiling sweetly, Keiko looked over at the guys.
“Okay, I know who the other part of all this is.” The guys looked at her and waited for her to explain. Nodding her head, Keiko did so.
“You know the ones that escorted you all here from where ever you all were.” She waited until they nodded. “Well they will be the ones who are going to, um, have the rest of you for, um, companions. It’ll be easier and I think they may be trust worthy, but that is also up to your judgment.” The shinobi, who were momentarily forgotten, looked at each other for a moment before turning back to Keiko.
“You mean Kiichigo?” Keiko nodded at them before adding,
“Yes, but she is only one of the three. The other two would be Nashi and Taki. They may seem rough around the edges, or maybe its just to you guys… hmmm… anyways, they are nice and well I think they may be able to help us. But again, that is completely up to your judgment.” Looking into the eyes of the Reikai Tantei. They nodded their understanding and looked over at their shinobi friends. Hiei was the one to talk though this time.
“How much do you four know about the three women chosen to add to this little mess.” Jin looked shocked.
“Whaell, if’n I di’n know better, I’d say that Hiei just said more than he’s ever said since I’da known him.” Yusuke decided that now was a good time to tease his teammate.
“We’ve been training him to speak. Darn good job I’d say. All you have to do is offer him something to eat and he gets very talkative. Heh. Right, Kurama?” Kurama hid his smile behind his hand before he answered.
“Yes, that is true. You have no idea what it was like. Then we found the one food that will keep Hiei talking for long periods of time.” Kurama could no longer hide his grin. He looked over at Hiei and knew that he was going to get it later, but at the moment he couldn’t care less. Getting even with Hiei for broadcasting his conversation with Youko with this was just enough for him at least.
Realizing that Kurama was not going to tell them what this magic food was, Chuu announced his question.
“What was the food that got Hiei’s tongue to loosen mates?”
Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara looked at each other and grinned.
“ICE CREAM!” was what rang out of their mouths before everyone except Hiei and Keiko began to laugh. Hiei glared at them and began to sulk.
“It does not. I was able to talk beforehand. I just didn’t feel like it.” He continued to sulk and Keiko found that she was having a hard time keeping a straight face. Unable to hold back any longer, Keiko began to laugh too. Hiei looked at her and smiled quietly to himself.
“Well that was unexpected.” Touya laughed. “But to answer your question Hiei, those women are very reliable. We know them very well and those three know that we aren’t women, but it’s just safer to feign ignorance. Once they know that they can trust you, they’ll act nicer. Other than that, don’t do anything stupid that will get you into trouble.” Everyone nodded, accepting his words before turning to Keiko.
“Hey Keiko, would you mind bringing them in so we can sort ourselves out? This way things can get rolling.” Keiko nodded made her way to the door.
~*~*~*~*~*
A few hours later, everyone separated. Keiko took Kurama to her chambers, Yusuke went with Taki, Hiei went with Kiichigo, Kuwabara went with Nashi, and the shinobi left the village for a few days so that they could contact the allies of the Reikai Tantei.
Kurama walked with Keiko through corridor after corridor before they finally reached Keiko’s chambers. He looked around and found that it was a beautifully decorated room: beige colored walls upon which flower decors filled some spots around the room. Vines crept up the columns to which colorful tapestries and drapes were hung to separate the rooms. Tables lined one room, another was a large luxurious bath, and the third was the bedroom which had in the middle of it a large comfortable bed. The first room, he was surprised to see, had quite a few books on the tables.
Keiko saw him glance around the first room and she blushed.
“Sorry it’s a bit messy in here. This is where I do most of my research.” Kurama smiled at her.
“Its fine.” And without any warning, he bent down and kissed Keiko gently on the lips.
