   YYH fanfic, Part 4: Distractions Arise
OK, I know this segment is long, but on the other hand...it is supposed to compensate for like 6 hours of intermission. I haven't revised it yet, but here I'm posting it today as promised, but I may revise it later


Due to the ring’s destruction, an extensive intermission was announced and the teams migrated to their locker rooms. Leilani attempted to offer her help to Bui, following which, she changed back to human form and traveled to check on Kurama. Kuwabara was talking with his sister, Hiei was laid on a cot, and Kurama was reading a book. Leilani, now back in human form, leaned against the doorway, contemplating how to approach him.

“He probably would not enjoy me disturbing his reading.”

“That doesn’t really matter, just get the job done,” Bob pestered.

“How old is he again?”

“15 in human form.”

“That’s young!”

“His demon form is over 300 years old, is that a bit more your maturity level?”

“I suppose that’s better, but how old does that make me, I hope I’m not regressing in age!”

“Oh, your similar, I was considering making you 14 like the other guys.”

“Woop-de-doo” Leilani drawled sarcastically, “I’m a whole year older. Still, it’s a pity that they have to fight so violently when they are still such a young age.”

“Gee, you never expressed feelings that way for Gohan missing school, and he was quite a bit younger when he became super sayain.”

“I thought that we weren’t talking about other cartoons.”

“It’s just to prove another difference.”

“Well since were on the subject, how about that cartoon dating service?”

“A dating service, you’ve got to be kidding me!”

“Really, I’ve got the first couple in mind and everything.”

“You’re just trying to avoid confrontation again.”

“No I’m not. I was just thinking that Kurama would be perfect for Raven.”

“From Teen Titans? I don’t think so.”

“Well look, they are quiet, reserved with their emotions, spend their free time reading, and they’re about the same age. It would work perfectly!”

“You’ve obviously never dated in the real world before, have you?”

“I’m serious, I mean when Raven starts going berserk trying to break Robin and Starfire up, just send her here.”

Just then Stuff-muffin formed Koenma appeared behind Leilani, “Might I have a word with you?”

“EEEP!!!” squealed Leilani turning around, “Oh, uh, hi.”

“Ah-hem…” coughed Bob, which was immediately received by an inconspicuous hitting reflex from Leilani.

“Sure,” Leilani smiled. Koenma motioned out of the door and they began walking. He asked her about angels since he had never interacted with them before…in fact he never even knew they existed. She responded to his inquiries the best she could, but thought Bob had taken care of all that. However, since angels weren’t afore mentioned in the series, they needed a form of introduction.

“I still find it strange that I’ve never been exposed to your organization before,” Koenma pursued.

“We have dealings with King Yama, he probably doesn’t bother worrying you with the details.”

“I would imagine that I would have heard something about angels after all the time I’ve spent overseeing the human world.”

“We don’t enjoy going around bragging, I’m sorry that Juri blew my cover.”

“I’m glad she did,” Koenma whispered as he stopped walking and turned to Leilani. Gazing into her eyes, he raised her chin with his hand, “You’re the most beautiful creature I have ever encountered!”

Leilani blushed and after some hesitation, threw her arms around him in a warm embrace. Loosening her grasp, she looked at his charming face and could tell he was smiling behind his pacifier. They both closed their eyes and drew their faces together as she moved her hand close to remove his binky.

Suddenly, cold metal yanked at Leilani’s ear and dragged her away, back down the hall to Team Urameshi’s locker room. A familiar voice gruffly stated, “You should be more careful with your equipment!”

“BOB! What’s the big idea?” Leilani shrieked.

“I’m not very happy with you crushing the communicator’s circuits! You need to focus, the intermission will end sooner than everyone expects.”

“And what about your job? If you did it properly, Koenma wouldn’t be asking me questions!”

“I did my part, can’t you tell he was searching for an excuse to flirt with you?”

Leilani escaped his grasp and stood smiling at the thought, “Oh, really?”

“You know, for being an angel, you’re not acting very angelic!”

Leilani continued walking, “Hey! I’ll get things done in my own way, on my own time. I know what I’m doing.”

“You’ve only been on the team for a month, you’re not a pro yet!”

“So why did you choose me to come if you don’t like my style?”

“Grrrr.”

They stood at the doorway of the locker room and Kurama was in the same position as before, reading his book. Leilani leaned against the entrance and sighed.

“So are you going in, or do I need to make a formal introduction?” Bob pestered.

Leilani imagined how embarrassing Bob could make it and shuddered, “I’ll do it myself, you just stay here.” She walked in and sat by him, “How are you feeling?”

Kurama closed his book and looked at her, replying, “Much better, thank you.”

“That’s good to hear,” she leaned in and stroked the side of his face, intertwining his hair in her fingers.

“Ummm,” Kurama stammered, “I was wondering…”

Just then, Hiei stirred on the cot. Leilani drew back as he woke up. He wanted to know that they won and was sorely disappointed that they haven’t even held the next round.

“What? Did you think you could just sleep through the whole thing?” Leilani taunted, “I wish I could just do that, like Bedtime Bear when there was a soccer game and he said…”

“LEILANI!!!” shouted Bob.

“Dah! Where’d you come from?” Leilani jumped, “I thought you were going to stay outside!”

“What crazed suspicion caused you to think that they know anything about Care Bears!”

“Care what?” Kurama questioned.

“Huh. They sound like some mob of sickenly sweet furballs,” Hiei commented.

“I rest my case,” stressed Bob.

Just then, the next match was announced, which was sooner than expected thanks to Toguro’s strength in bringing a new ring.
