Okay so even though I've been a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho for the longest time, I've never written any fan fics…why, you ask? Well I don't completely remember ALL of the characters of the top of my head for one, and for another thing…I just didn't know where to start…but I've decided since this pairing doesn't get much recognition or attention, I'm going to write a fan fiction about Yusuke and Kurama. So all you KuraUKE fans smile and enjoy!!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Yu Yu Hakusho characters.

WARNING: There is some OOC and OC in this, so if you ABSOLUTELY CAN'T STAND IT, DON'T READ IT!!!

Whispers followed him everywhere, like a plague straight out of medieval Europe. Yusuke usually ignored it though, it didn't bother him any…the more rumors people spread the less he was bothered and he liked that. However, it did bother him that he didn't have anyone to lean on, so that's why he had decided to take it upon himself to find someone to be his, and that couldn't be too hard right?

"Hey Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled as usual from the front doors of the high school, waiting for Yusuke to get off of his Harley. Yusuke just shook his head, smiling a little; the big goof, standing there waving at the most dangerous kid in school with that big grin on his face…yeah, that was Kuwabara for you though, always there for anyone thru thick and thin and Yusuke was proud to call him his 'right hand man' for it too.

"Hey Kuwabara…what's up?" Yusuke could tell the old teddy bear was happier than usual. Kuwabara grinned and put two thumbs up in the air.

"I got her man! She said yes! Can you believe it?!" Yusuke's stomach sank, Hiei was not going to be happy with his sister when he found out, and besides that, what would Yusuke do without his best friend at his side? Why couldn't Kuwabara have done what all the other guys of the gang did and just save the best relationships for…well…something else; but then…Kuwabara would never do anything so low. Yusuke smiled.

"That's awesome Kuwabara, so she said yes to being your girlfriend huh? It's about time you two got…" But Kuwabara was shaking his head, still grinning like a maniac.

"No man! I asked her to marry me!" Yusuke stopped dead. Marry?! As in a house and screaming children and…and…he shuddered at the thought of what Hiei would do to poor Kuwabara now…and he thought he was in trouble before!

"Don't you think it's a bit…early for that…Kuwabara?" Yusuke had asked it as gently as he could, but he could tell he had still offended Kuwabara in some way.

"No Urameshi! You cannot prolong true love felt within the hearts of two people who are tied by the same red thread of destiny!" By this point, Kuwabara had taken a Captain's position on the school stairway railing with a look of pure determination in his eyes.

'Oh brother…' Yusuke thought as Kuwabara went on to explain how the bonds of love couldn't be penetrated by any force. He was just about to tell Kuwabara that if he pushed him and he fell, it would be breaking the bond of his lecture which would be close enough when Mr. Takanaka showed up and scared the living crap out of him.

"Urameshi! Kuwabara! What are the two of you doing out of class? And Mr. Kuwabara, I would appreciate it if you got off the stairway railing…show some respect." Kuwabara stepped down from the railing somewhat hurriedly almost falling down the stairs.

"Yes, sir, sorry, sir…I'll be going to class now!" he managed to stutter out before running off down the stairs and towards home room, Yusuke scoffed…wuss. He just simply put his hands in his pockets and started to walk off 'towards class.'

"Mr. Urameshi, I want to have a word with you in my office." Yusuke continued walking, thinking if Mr. Takanaka could catch him, he would go to his office, but not until then.

"NOW, Mr. Urameshi…it's about your grades, and it's not good." Yusuke sighed and resigned himself to turning around with a quick heel spin and following Mr. Takanaka to the principal's office.

As soon as they got there, Yusuke knew he wouldn't be there long, the place was boring enough without Mr. Takanaka in it to lecture, with him…the room was dead.

"So what's up, Takanaka?" Yusuke asked, in spite of himself. He put his hands in his pockets, acting as if he didn't give a damn. Of course, the old man gave him a stern look.

"Do not 'what's up' me, young man, and you will address me as Mr. Takanaka, do I make myself clear?" Yusuke rolled his eyes and started looking around the room indifferently.

"Crystal." He muttered under his breath. Mr. Takanaka obviously heard him, but just gave Yusuke another one of those stern 'I care about you' bull shit looks. Yusuke wasn't buying it.

"Your grades are failing…I realize it might be because of some issues of social standing with your classmates, as well as some problems at home…" Yusuke started to listen, he glared at Mr. Takanaka angrily, what did he know about Yusuke's personal life?! "so I've decided that you're going to have a tutor." Yusuke suddenly stopped glaring and blanched.

"A tutor?! You can't be serious Takanaka! I don't need some prissy little bitch telling me what to do!" Mr. Takanaka was quiet for a moment. He sighed and gestured towards a person Yusuke hadn't noticed before sitting in one of the office chairs.

"This is Shuuichi Minamino, he will be your tutor for all of your classes starting from here on out." Yusuke felt like he had been sucker punched in the gut, damn! He hated insulting people to their face when he first met them! How dare Takanaka hide him from him!

"You…I don't need a tutor Takanaka!" Shuuichi stepped forward so Yusuke could see him better, he was wearing khaki's and a light maroon t-shirt, a perfect picture of geek if ever Yusuke saw one, except…his body was well built, and the handsome face showed a pair of almost glowing emerald eyes. Not only that, but his bright long red hair seemed more fitting of a girl than a geek. Who was this guy?! The red head bowed a little to Yusuke.

"I hope I can help you in your studies Yusuke." Yusuke almost blushed, damn! Too polite to fend off! He turned his attention back to Takanaka, refusing to answer Shuuichi.

"For the last time, I don't need a tutor!" He walked out of the office, then turned and yelled back, "and my social life is fine!" before storming out into the hallway. Damned if now wasn't the time to have a cigarette! Yeah, that would piss off Takanaka for sure…Yusuke smiled and darted out of the school doors before anyone could stop him.
