Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Love Me, Hate Me, Just Don’t Let Me Fall ❯ Shishiwakamaru Fanclub! Oh Joy! ( Chapter 21 )

Last Chapter...

"Well... okay... I like Shishiwakamaru!" Yukina admitted with a blush. "Now, who do you like?"

Touya gaped at her. Shishi? SHISHI?! Why the heck would she like him? That arrogant demon just HAD to steal the one thing he wanted, didn't he? Of course, typical Shishi...

And then, suddenly, as if on cue, the hotel door burst open. Suzuka appeared, and behind him came the one and only Shishiwakamaru.

Upon his entrance, Touya glared at Shishi, and Yukina, slightly startled, noticed the look. Suzuka and Shishiwakamaru didn't however, so it came as a complete surprise when Touya suddenly launched himself at the long-haired demon in a fit of jealousy.

Love Me, Hate Me, Just Don't Let Me Fall

Chapter 21: Shishiwakamaru Fanclub! Oh Joy!

"GAH!" Shishi shrieked, and he shoved Touya away from him. "What's wrong with you?!"

"You... you baka playboy! How could you steal her heart?!"

Shishi glared at him. "What are you talking about? Are you having mood swings again?"

"I'm afraid I can explain," said Yukina. All eyed turned on her, and she blushed. "I, well... um..."

"She LIKES Shishiwakamaru!" Touya explained for her.

"Yes... that seems to be the problem... but, I don't quite understand why Touya would be so angry about it..." Yukina said.

Looking at Touya, Yukina, and Shishi, Suzuka smirked. What a wonderful love triangle! This ought to be fun to watch...

"Why, Yukina, Touya's only had the biggest crush on you since the Dark Tournament!" Suzuka explained with a grin.

Touya blushed and stammered his protests while Yukina gasped in shock. "Oh my gosh! I had no idea!"

After finally realizing why Touya attacked him, Shishi smirked at the Ice Master. "So your little ice maiden chose me over you, ne? No surprise there!"

"I'm surprised you have any fangirls at all, Touya. You're as moody as they are! Not to mention the fact that you're always so darn friendly with Jin, if you know what I mean," Suzuka teased.

"Shut up! I have more fangirls than you, baka clown!" Touya replied, offended that Suzuka would suggest he and Jin were more than just friends.

"Ah, but do you have more fangirls than me?" asked Shishi, smirking arrogantly.

Ignoring the question, Touya turned to Yukina and asked, "How can you like him? He's so conceited!"

"Hey! I'm also hot and sexy and an excellent swordsman!" protested Shishi.

Yukina ignored him and answered Touya, "It all began at the Dark Tournament when I talked to some of his fangirls..."

+++Flashback+++

At the Dark Tournament, after one of the fights, Yukina and the other girls were walking along a hallway. They walked past three Shishi fangirls, who called out to Yukina.

"Hey, little girl!" one said. "Come here for a second!"

Yukina turned and looked at them. After telling her friends to go on ahead of her, she asked, "Yes?"

"You know Shishiwakamaru?"

"Ummm, didn't he fight Genkai? The demon with the odd sword?"

"Yeah that's him! We're his fangirls!" The first girl continued, "I'm the president of the Official Shishiwakamaru Fanclub!"

"And I'm the vice president!" said the second.

"And I'm the secretary!" said the third.

Yukina stared at them, thinking them to be rather odd. Why would they announce their fanclub status so proudly? Wouldn't most demons be embarrassed of their obsession and guilty pleasure?

"And what does this do with me?" the ice demon asked.

"We're recruiting members for the fanclub."

"Not very many demons like to join clubs. I think it's because they have commitment issues."

"You seem like a nice girl. Would you care to join?"

"Ummm, no thank you," Yukina answered. "I hardly know this Shishiwakamaru!"

The fangirls stared at her in shock. After a few seconds of silence, they began telling her how great Shishi was.

"He's so hot!"

"And a good swordsman!"

"And he can make you feel absolutely wonderful!"

"He's just sooooo great!"

Their list of reasons continued for several minutes, until the president pulled out a folder and handed it to Yukina. "Here, look at all of these great pictures of him!"

Yukina looked at the photos. They were all of Shishi posing for the camera. Upon finding a few of his demon form, Yukina smiled. He was so kawaii in those pictures!

"Wow, you must really be dedicated to him!" Yukina finally said. She didn't want to offend them by saying anything about their oddness.

"Yep, that's what a fangirl is! Dedicated to her idol!"

"Here, sign these papers to join, and put your signature here and here, and then sign this membership card," the president requested as she handed Yukina the supplies.

The ice demon, not wanting to hurt their feelings, signed everything and was given the membership card in return.

"There you go! Now you're an official member of the Shishiwakamaru Fanclub!"

"Okay, thanks!" Yukina told them as she walked back to her friends. Thus, her crush on Shishi began...

+++End Flashback+++

"You joined his FANCLUB?!" Touya asked, shocked. "You didn't even KNOW him!"

With a blush, Yukina nodded. "I-I'm sorry Touya... I wouldn't have said anything about this if I had known you liked me!"

Shishi suddenly took Yukina's hands in his and stared into her eyes. "My dear Yukina, let's forget about Touya. I would be more than happy to accompany you on a date!"

"Oh, are you going on the group date too?" Yukina wondered.

"What group date?"

"Ummm, don't you know about it?"

Touya interrupted them to say, "No, neither of them know anything! Hiei and Botan were trying to keep it a secret!"

"Oh! I'm so sorry... I forgot..." Yukina admitted.

"Forgot what?!" somebody asked, and everyone turned to find the all three chibis standing there, fully awake.

Botan woke up in a hotel room, coincidentally the same one she had been in right after becoming chibi. Looking around, she spotted Rinku and Hiei sitting on opposite ends of the room.

"Um, hi guys... What's going on?" she asked them, wondering why she wasn't in a tree. "Why am I here?"

"Nothing..." Rinku said.

"He's annoying," stated Hiei, referring to Rinku. "And you're here because Jin dragged us both back here."

"Why would you say he's annoying?" Botan was quite curious about what had gone on while she was asleep.

"I don't like him," replied Hiei, as if that would answer her. After arriving in the hotel room, Rinku had woken up and began bothering Hiei with questions about the whereabouts of his precious sugar. Annoyed, Hiei told him that he didn't know anything about his baka sugar, and Rinku started bugging him even more. Eventually, they began arguing until Hiei finally found the sense to ignore the boy.

"Why don't you like him? Rinku's so kawaii!"

Rinku looked at her oddly. "I thought you liked Hiei...?"

"I do!"

"Then why are you calling him kawaii?!" demanded Hiei, irritated.

"Because he's cute!" Botan answered simply. Everybody knew Rinku was one of the cutest demons at the Dark Tournament!

"Heehee, your girlfriend thinks I'm cute!" taunted the chibi.

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Yes she is."

"I am too!"

"NO! I AM SINGLE AND LIKING IT VERY MUCH!" Hiei declared. He was trying his hardest to convince everyone, mainly himself, that he did NOT like Botan, and would never, ever even consider the thought of dating or loving her. Unfortunately, he was doing a terrible job.

"Face it, Hiei, your girl has you WHIPPED!" Rinku teased, enjoying this very much.

"Nobody whips me!" an angry Hiei stated, ready to prove how rebellious he could be. Botan grinned at his discomfort.

"Awww, what's wrong? Can't face the truth?"

"We aren't a couple, and she does not have me whipped. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" Hiei went to sulk in a corner, completely ignoring the other two. Today wasn't very much fun. After realizing he no longer disliked Botan and putting up with Rinku for quite some time, this was the last thing he wanted to hear.

"Hmph, fine Hiei, have it your way! I'll just talk with your GIRLFRIEND!" Rinku turned to Botan and asked, "Do you have any sugar?"

"No, I'm sorry... Why do you want sugar?"

"Sugar highs are fun! You should try them sometime!"

"I have, but I'm afraid nobody likes me very much when I'm sugar high..."

"I won't mind! It'll be fun to be sugar high with someone else!"

"Well, I'll keep that in mind when I find some sugar to eat, then"

"Okay, good."

"Okay."

"..."

"..."

"...Are you sure you don't have any sugar?"

"Yes!"

"You do have sugar?"

"No...."

"Then why did you say yes?"

"Because I was sure that I didn't have any sugar," explained Botan, beginning to understand how Rinku annoyed Hiei.

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"I'm very sure."

"Really truly positively?"

"YES!"

"Oh... well you don't have to yell about it..."

Nearing the bedroom door, Botan decided to exit the room before Rinku could irritate her even more. "I'm gonna go see what's going on in the other room. Anybody wanna come?"

In response, Hiei and Rinku stood and walked out the door behind Botan. They were glad to have a reason to leave each other's company. Upon reaching the living room area, they were just in time to hear Yukina admit, "Oh! I'm so sorry... I forgot..."

"Forgot what?" asked Botan.

"I'm so sorry- I forgot that you wanted everything to be a secret!" Yukina said.

"Oh... Who exactly knows everything now?" Botan asked.

"Almost everybody! Except for Shishi, Suzuka, Chuu, and Rinku," said Touya.

"Don't forget that Keiko, Kuwabara, and Yusuke don't know!" Yukina added.

"What are you talking about?" asked Shishi.

"Tell us this secret!" requested Suzuka.

"I WANNA KNOW!" demanded Rinku. He just KNEW this secret involved his sugar, somehow...

"There's no need to tell you," said Hiei with a glare.

"At least not until Chuu is here! I don't want to have to tell it twice!" Botan said.

"Where is Chuu, anyway?" asked Touya.

"I don't know. Jin came by and told us to come back to the hotel, then he had to leave to find Chuu," Suzuka said.

"Fine then, we'll explain once they get here!" Botan announced, and the three demons settled for that. "Okay, so what exactly happened when I was asleep?"

Together, Touya and Yukina explained everything, while Shishi and Suzuka added in their own comments.

"And you didn't even ask Yukina out?!" Botan asked Touya.

"How could I? She doesn't like me that way!"

Hiei glared at Shishi. "You seduced my sister!"

"What?! No I did not! If anything, she seduced ME!" Shishi protested. "Yukina's such a player! First she gets Kuwabara, then Touya, and now me!"

"She is not one of your kind, playboy!" Hiei said.

"Ummm, guys? I'm standing right here!" Yukina reminded them. They, however, ignored her and began arguing intensely.

"Yukina, how could you not like Touya?!" asked Botan. "Go on the group date with him, will you? PLEASE? I had to agree not to ever kiss Hiei again so he would let you go!"

"Really? This was all discussed beforehand?" wondered Yukina.

"Of course it was! Do you know how long it took me to convince Touya that he had to ask you out?" Botan said.

"You didn't have to convince me! I already wanted to ask her!" said Touya.

After overhearing them, Hiei stopped his argument with Shishi and glared at everyone, effectively silencing them. "Yukina, if you decide to date anybody, I would like you to go on the group date with Touya! He's obviously the better choice than Kuwabara or Shishiwakamaru!"

"But... um... I still like Shishi!"

"HOW?!?! How can you LIKE HIM?!"

"I already told you! His fangirls persuaded me!"

"Baka fangirls! I'LL KILL THEM!"

"HEY LEAVE MY FANGIRLS ALONE!" Shishi protested.

"Shut up, playboy! You have more than enough fangirls!"

"Are you saying I don't count? That I'm just another Shishi fangirl?" Yukina asked, slightly hurt.

"No, I'm saying that Shishi wouldn't care if I did kill those baka temptresses!"

"So now I'm a baka temptress? Just because I'm a fangirl?"

"NO! I'm not talking about YOU!"

"Yes you are! I'm a fangirl too! Look- I even have a membership card!" Yukina announced, and held out the card for Hiei to see. Hiei was less than pleased, and suddenly the card was on fire.

"HIEI!" Yukina quickly froze the fire before it could spread. "How could you do that? That was the only card I had!"

"Good, I won't have to destroy any more!"

Botan interrupted them, "Look, Yukina, what if you only went on this group date with Touya to see how nice he is? Maybe you'll learn to like him better than Shishi! But if you don't like him after the date, then he'll leave you alone and you can date anybody you please!"

"Not just ANYBODY..." Hiei reminded them.

"Well.. Alright, then. That sounds fair," Yukina agreed. She smiled at Touya. "I would be happy to go with you on the group date!"

Touya smiled back, happy to have a chance with her. However, Shishi was less than happy. "WHAT?! I want to date Yukina!"

"Shut up, baka! I forbid you to go near her!" commanded Hiei. "Go date your stupid fangirls!"

"TOUYA! WHERE'S MY SUGAR?!" Rinku asked, tired of being ignored for such a long time. Touya stared at him. He hadn't even remembered that he was there, much less his promise to give him sugar!

"Um... well, if you can find the sugar, you can have it!" Touya said.

"Do you PROMISE?"

"Sure..."

"Okies!" Rinku wandered off, in search of sugar. Everyone stared at him as he left, wondering what was so darn good about sugar. That boy was completely obsessed! Whatever happened to the normal, yo-yo toting young demon?

"Shishi, why do you have so many fangirls? You're so snobby and you look like a girl!" Botan said.

"WHAT?!" Shishi was less than pleased to hear that. "I am VERY masculine, thank you very much!"

"Unfortunately, she's right! You still need a haircut!" Suzuka agreed. He had been silent the whole time upon the chibis' arrival, watching everyone argue. Ah, live soap operas are the best entertainment...

"I do NOT need a haircut! However, YOU NEED A MAKEOVER!" Shishi glared, and Suzuka glared back. But before a fight could break out, the hotel door opened and in came Jin and Chuu.

"Hello, everyone!" Jin greeted. "I finally found everybody!"

However, greetings were cut short when Suzuka commanded, "Okay, Chuu's here now, so spill!"

"Ehhh, wha?" Chuu asked upon hearing his name.

"Just listen! Wait, where's Rinku?" Botan asked.

"I'll get him!" Yukina went to get the chibi, and returned shortly with a protesting Rinku.

"Ok, so this is what happened..."

"I don't want to."

"You have to!"

"NO!"

"Oh come on!"

Koenma shook his head stubbornly. "I am NOT going to tell Hiei and Botan the whole story! You two already know, so why don't you tell them?!"

"Because you caused everything. If we have to, we'll make you do it!"

Shizuru and Kurama had woken up a few hours previously and immediately started bugging the godling. At the moment they were in Koenma's office, arguing heatedly.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Never! I'm a GOD and you can't make me do anything!"

"Actually, we can," said Kurama, rather arrogantly. "We don't have to help you with your date. You don't even know who it is, so how would you know if we 'accidentally' picked up the wrong girl and you were stuck with an ugly drag queen dwarf?"

"...Hiei?!?! IN DRAG?!" shrieked Koenma, horrified.

"BAKA! Of course it couldn't be Hiei!" reprimanded Shizuru. Though she wouldn't really mind if Hiei took her place...

"Then who would it be? He's the only guy I know who looks dwarfish!"

"I know many more people than you do, Koenma, and most would look worse than Hiei in drag..." explained Kurama. Why were they suddenly talking about this?! They should be discussing why Koenma should come clean with Hiei and Botan. Getting back on topic, the fox said, "Now you're going to tell Hiei and Botan everything or else we'll make sure your date is a disaster!"

"But... how could you do that to me? You know why I need a date so badly!"

"How could you not tell Hiei and Botan everything? They probably hate you right now- especially Hiei! And you know how dangerous he is!"

Koenma pouted and said defiantly, "I don't care! I refuse to tell them!"

"Why? Just get it over with!"

"I've been through so many traumatizing things already! Botan rejected me for HIEI, I'm going to be forced to go on some blind date with a very slim chance of actually liking the girl, much less falling in love with her, and now you want me to tell the woman I loved that I want her to spend a week alone with Hiei and that I'm only a chibi because my father believes in cruel and unusual punishment?!"

"Ummm, basically, yes."

"Absolutely not."

"Then consider your date ruined," threatened Kurama.

"I don't care, okay?! I probably won't even like my date! She probably IS a dwarf in drag!"

Shizuru glanced between Kurama and Koenma, rather nervously. Should she tell him that she was, in fact, his date or not?

"I can assure you that your date will not be a mutilated beast that goes against the laws of nature," said Kurama, "If you agree to tell the truth to Hiei and Botan."

"No. I refuse to tell them, and if you try to make me go out with some freak, then I refuse to date anyone too."

Her mind made up, Shizuru exclaimed, "It won't be a freak! The girl you're going to date is ME! Do I look like a freak to you?! NO! So quit complaining and come clean with Hiei and Botan already before I beat some sense into you!"

The two guys stared at her oddly, one wondering why she said that, and the other thinking that she was looking VERY un-freaky for a future date... In fact, when Koenma glanced at her from that sort of view, she was rather... cute. Tall... feminine... curvy...

The godling blinked, trying to stay focused on the matter at hand. "You... you're my date?"

Shizuru nodded and glared at him, "But don't get any ideas about it. I was FORCED to date you, okay?!"

"Oh..." Koenma seemed crestfallen. He chased off a ferry girl and ended up with a reluctant blind date. Hooray. By this progress, he'd be trying to marry an inanimate object (and probably get rejected as well).

"Look what you did, Shizuru!" Kurama reprimanded, almost teasingly. "Now he's depressed because nobody wants to date him!"

"I didn't mean... I just don't want him to get the wrong idea, alright?" Shizuru scowled at the fox. "What if he thought I was in love with him? I'd be leading him on!"

"But at least he'd be happy."

"I wouldn't be, and when he found out the truth, neither would he."

"So you'd prefer to save yourself the pain by making him suffer now."

"No, I'd rather save us both the trouble of finding these things out the hard way."

"I'm right here, you know," reminded Koenma. "I can hear you talking about me."

Turning to the godling and completely ignoring Kurama, Shizuru said, "Look, it's not like I hate you or anything, but I don't even KNOW you so why would I want to date you? But... I'll give you a chance to prove yourself, ok?"

"Okay!" Koenma agreed with her eagerly. You would have to be a fool to not want her as a date!

"Only if you tell Hiei and Botan the truth, though."

Sighing, Koenma considered his options. Date Shizuru and possibly lift the horrible curse, or spare himself the humiliation of telling Botan everything. Well... the girl was pretty cute, and it's not like there was a line of bachelorettes outside of his bedroom door. So, he'd just have to grin and bear it... or perhaps grimace is a better word?

"Alright! I'll tell them!" the godling said, reluctantly.

"Good!" Kurama smiled. This was working out beautifully. "Then let's go to the human world!"
