Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Thinking Of You ❯ "Water Park" ( Chapter 4 )

Er, um this is the author here, I just want to say thank you ever so much to the people who reviewed me (Kaji The Bloody Harlequin, Jennifred, and Ally Hearts ). It really encouraged me. God do I sound like a peppy person. Anyways, here's another chapter for all of you who like it.

Thinking of You

Maybe one of these days you will be able to help me appreciate the sunrise. But then again it could just be my wishful thinking. I sigh. You look so beautiful. Why can't I tell you how much you mean to me? I can't believe I let you in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure Kurama?" Yusuke asked for the nth time. I rolled my eyes. Gods did he have a thick skull. You wouldn't have said anything if you weren't sure.

"Yes I'm sure Yusuke. It's only 1:30. We should have a good four and a half hours to spend there," you tolled him. I still hadn't quite figured out what a "water park" was, but anything you wanted me to do I certainly would. Yusuke shrugged his shoulders.

"Let me guess," you said before he could let a sound exit his open mouth. "It's your funeral."

"Exactly," Yusuke said. "Have fun!"

Yusuke turned on his heel with a wave and headed towards the group. Everyone waved as you waved back. I sent them a glare. Yukina shouted "Have fun Hiei!" and I waved back at her. Though that idiot most likely gave her a lecture on how bad I was as I turned away from them to follow you.

"The first thing we need to do is get you a swimsuit," you told me as we climbed into your car. I gave you a quizzical look and you laughed at me. I rolled my eyes.

"What's a `swimsuit'?" I asked you. You gave me the briefest of glances as you pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road. Heading towards the city.

"For a guy, it's basically a pair of shorts. We should probably get you something in black," you told me.

"Probably?" I asked.

You laughed again. Sometimes I think you do it just to drive me wild. Then, after you had calmed down a bit you asked me if I had developed a sense of humor over night. I said it took longer to develop then a few hours sleep. You laughed again. We pulled into another parking lot. In front of a mall. I gulped. I hate malls. You said we were just going to buy two pairs of trunks and get out. You didn't want to be stuck in there all day.

We walked into a store called `Kohl's'. I looked about me. Clothes, clothes and more clothes. How exciting. You pulled me to the boys' section. I growled at you. You said we were only over here because I am vertically challenged. Yet again I growled. A lot of people were looking at me funny by now. I growled at them. You laughed. You said they probably thought I was a mad dog. I barked. You couldn't control yourself any more. You collapsed on the floor you were laughing so hard. People started backing away from us slowly. I cracked the tiniest of smiles. Once you pulled yourself together, you walked over to a rack and pulled out a pair of black shorts with red flames on the side.

"These should do," you muttered and pulled me into the men's' section. Where you grabbed a pair of red shorts with a blue rose on the right leg. Then you dragged me (literally) to the counter to pay for them. After that we climbed into your car. I carefully opened the bag, so as to put the brush I stole into it (old habits die hard). You shook your head and pulled onto the road again.

I fell asleep on the ride there. Waking only because I felt a slight pressure on my forehead. I brushed the feeling away. When there I look at this place in wonder. Lots of tubey things. And water. I shivered. Water. The one thing I dislike more than, well, never mind. You had to tear me out of the car. I regretted kicking you in the stomach, so I complied with your every whim. It cost you a pretty penny to get in, but you seemed as happy as a clam. It seems I have a very happy effect on you. You shoved me into the bathroom and told me to change into my trunks. I did as you said. As I came out, I had left on my shirt, I caught sight of you. Naked except for those red shorts. I did a double take. Damn did you look good. Not only were you a pretty face, but a buff, yet feminine, hunk of muscle. You blushed slightly as you noticed me, but then held out your hand. I knew what you wanted, my shirt. I wasn't going to give it to you that easily though. You tackled me from behind and ripped off my shirt. I gave a surprised yelp. You put my shirt with the rest of our clothes and headed out. Your blush spread to your shoulders, did you know that? Did you admire my small, yet muscular frame? Or was it that you were embarrassed that I hadn't given it to you when you asked?

"Come on Hiei," you called to me from outside. I came like the obedient dog I am. `Woof' I intoned. You smiled.

"The first thing we're going to do is put our clothes in a locker. Then we're going to get a two person tube, and then we're going into the wave pool," you chirped happily. My face darkened. `Wave pool'?

"What's a wave pool?" I asked you, but you ignored me. Probably something with water.

We got a locker and key. Then we locked up our stuff. You rented a tube and made me help you carry it, even though you could've handled it yourself. Females took notice when we passed. They looked from me to you and back, or from you to me and back. I felt a blush creeping onto my skin. Then I saw it. A large pool of water. I froze in my tracks. You bumped into me. A shrill noise sounded and Ningens of all shapes, ages, and sizes ran to the pool. Waves started to rock the surface.

"Come on Hiei its fun!" you shouted as you took the tube and me both into the cold water. I bit back a hiss of air. You kept pulling and I held on for dear life. Soon we reached a spot where not even you could reach and you helped me into the tube. We sat as the waves not so gently rocked the tube. I was so tense. Then it happened. A group of your friends from your school ganged up on us and tipped the tube. I fell back first into the water. My eyes fluttered open as I frantically tried to get to the surface. I only got above the water because you pulled me up. My savior.

"Sorry Hiei," you told me as I cough up water. You were also soaking wet, but it made you all the more appealing.

"Hn," was my infamous response. You smiled half heartedly.

"Sorry Shuiichi," your friends apologized. You said it was ok. You were going to dunk me anyway. I glared.

"Come on Hiei, if you help me paddle to shore I'll take you on a better ride," you said. You turned onto your stomach and began to pull us into shore using your hands. I followed suit. The waves eventually carried us gently onto shallower grounds. You smiled.

"Follow me," you said. You lifted up your end of the tube, and I lifted mine, and we headed towards a tall tube. Ningens were going in one end, and coming out the other screaming. Right into a big pool of water. Joy.

"No way," I told you stopping dead in my tracks. You gave me the biggest puppy eyes I had ever seen and soon I found myself at the top of the slide about to go down. And I was in front. Damn you.

"Ready?" a Ningen asked, wearing a blue pair of trunks. I opened my mouth to speak, but they shoved us down the tube, and into darkness. I gripped the handles tightly as we sped around curves and straights. And just when I was beginning to like it, we splashed into the pool. I opened my eyes. When had I shut them? I tumbled out of the tube and onto a stair.

"Can we do it again?" I asked. You let forth a peal of silvery laughter.

"As many times as you want Hiei," you told me. I tugged you to another ride.

We had given up the thrill of the water rides for the calm of the lazy river over two hours ago. I had dragged you onto every single one of the tube rides, and even the body slides. Now I was content to just float down the "river" lying next to you on our tube. Which you had dubbed "the dreamer". I listened contentedly to the soft music that was playing, and the soothing sounds of the "river". I looked over at you to find you sleeping. I decided the best thing to do would be to get you back for dragging me here in the first place. I carefully climbed out of the tube. I didn't even stir you. Then I flipped the tube. You shot out of the water. I hid an amused snicker behind my hand.

"That's what you get for bringing me here," I stated and proceeded to climb into the tube. The next thing I knew, I was underwater, and then I surfaced. You were right back in the tube, a few feet in front of me. I snarled, but then decided I had deserved it. I climbed back in the tube. Amused smile still on my face.

"Hiei?" you asked.

"Hn?"

"I think that's the first time you've ever smiled a happy smile."

"Hn."

"You want to get dinner before our final escapade of the day?"

"Sure."

We ate at a small diner called Applebee's. Then headed out back onto the roads. I fell asleep again, smile still on my lips.
