The Student (Kurama X Reader ) Yu Yu Hakusho

[Chapter Six]

“Okay seriously chica, what’s eating at you?”

“Huh,” you questioned idiotically as you glanced up from your beverage.

“[Name] what the fuck is wrong with you?”

Your eyes connected with soothing brown ones as the girl regarded you with an amused look. You sighed as you glanced back down at your drink; you had been thinking about Shuichi again. How many times was that this weekend? You didn’t want to count; it’d probably scare you.

“Nothing, I’m just preoccupied.”

“Because why?”

“I told you already; I’m falling behind in work,” you lied easily.

The girl rolled her eyes as she ran a pale, slender hand through pin straight raven locks.

“You shouldn’t worry about that. Didn’t you get some help?”

“Yeah.”

“[Name],” she stated in a firm voice.

“What?!”

“You aren’t taking the help, are you?”

“Noreen, I am too! Just not a lot.” Because he keeps distracting me.

“You should take advantage of it, though. It’ll probably help you get back in the swing of things.”

“I know,” you sighed out. “But I just feel bad. I mean, he’s such a nice kid, I don’t want to make him have to take on my load.”

“You’re too sensitive, you know that?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Someone wants to help you out for one reason or another and it doesn’t matter why, but you always feel guilty to take it. You shouldn’t. If it’s being offered, take it without worrying.”

“If only it was that simple.”
“It is,” Noreen laughed out. “You’re just retarded.”

“Gee thanks,” you deadpanned.

“So when are we going to do something interesting?”

“I told you I wasn’t in an interesting mood today.”

“Wanna call Minato up? Kaoru has the hots for you, I hear.”

“Oh stop.”

“He does.”

“Who told you?”

“Minato. So, can we call him up?”

You groaned as you leaned half your body on your counter. “Do we have to?”

“Don’t be such a baby,” Noreen ordered as she began searching through her cell phone.

“We’ll have fun, I promise.”

You had fun, but Shuichi had remained in the back of your mind the entire night. Noreen was right; Kaoru did have the hots for you. If you hadn’t met Shuichi, you would have pursued Kaoru. The more you thought about it, the more frustrated you got. You should have pursued Kaoru, even despite the feelings you were developing for Shuichi. What was the point in remaining loyal to a boy if you could never be with him and he’d never know how you felt? There was no point!

But for now you didn’t have time to think about it because it was the end of school and Shuichi was due to waltz in any second now. It was odd that you were aware of when he was going to arrive. It was like a sixth sense of some sort.

“Hello Miss [Last Name].”

You smiled as you glanced up to see Shuichi entering the classroom. “Hey Shuichi. How’re you doing today?”
