Later that afternoon, it was definately hot out. The air conditioning felt terrific on a day like this. The heat could still be felt right in front of the window....which is where Yusuke sat. Exactly behind him on the sill was Hiei, who also was taking advantage of the atmoshpere.....enveloped in a nap.
Yusuke so dearly wanted to follow the example. It was so perfect. However, he still had Keiko at one side of him nagging. In the bright side, her nagging had become a lower volume, so not to disturb Hiei, who was quite nasty if woken up. Kurama sat a few feet on his other side, organizing the notes Yusuke was made to take. Botan was trying to be helpful, but spent most of her time stuffing her face with the cheese cubes on the coffee table. Kuwabara had retired to the other side of the room so not to bother Yusuke. He was to busy trying to beat that handheld game.
" Hey, can’t we take a break?" Yusuke finally spit out. " We’ve been at it for hours."
" Yusuke..." Keiko began to scold. Kurama snickered and leaned forward. " I think it would be wise to rest our eyes. We don’t want to strain ourselves."
Yusuke nodded at Kurama’s defense. Botan skipped to her feet, " Then I’ll just refill the bowl of cheese cubes!"
" Let me go too, Botan. I’ll make some tea," Keiko smiled, getting up to follow the blue-haired girl to the kitchen. Kurama also stood up, catching Yusuke’s attention, " Where are you going?"
" Nature calls," Kurama smiled as he replied casually, heading off to the bathroom. Yusuke turned to Kuwabara....still engulfed in his game, gritting his teeth and stretching his face as he tried to master the current level. He shook his head at the sight.
Yusuke stood up as well, stretching his body out, then sitting on the couch, leaning all the way back until he felt Hiei’s boot on the back of his head. The couch was off-centered from the wall and covered the lower right hand corner of the window sill...due to a crack on the sill his mother had made accidently.
" If any idea sounded best, yours is appealing," Yusuke muttered to the sleeping yokai. He sighed and adjusted himself, closing his eyes a moment. He really didn’t feel like going back to that stupid report. What would happen? Just another poor grade. So what? He had skills and skills were all you really needed in life, right? Not some stupid report about some girl and an alternate demension of talking animals. How stupid. With that thought in mind, he smirked and felt himself drift off to sleep.
