Kuwa: The man is back in town!
(Shizuru appears)
Shizuru: You can stop that now, Kazuma.
Yukina: Sorry to interrupt, but Urameshi-san decided to join us for a while.
Shizuru: Fair enough. Welcome back, Yuki. And welcome to our place, Urameshi-san.
Yusuke: Thanks. So is it dinner time now?
Shizuru: Rule for the uninformed - expect to do your own work here, unless one of us feels like helping you. I'm done, so I'll see you people later.
(Shizuru leaves)
Kuwa: It's true. But I'm pretty good at cooking, and Yukina-san has caught on.
Yukina: Thank you, Kuwa.
Kuwa: Are you ready to begin the Kuwabara family cooking contest?
Yusuke: Sorry to sound like a slacker, but I'd rather just help you guys out.
Monologue: So I decided to help Yukina and Kuwabara in the kitchen. I wasn't exactly a genius, but having to deal with my mother for years had helped me find my way around a kitchen.
Yukina: Urameshi-san, can you get that for me?
Yusuke: No problem.
Yukina: Need any help over there, Kuwa?
Kuwa: I'm fine over here, thank you. Ha ha.
Yusuke: Hey Yukina, did you know anything about food before you met Kuwabara?
Yukina: Just a little. Hope you like this.
Monologue: It would be a few more minutes before the rice cooker and over were done. I was trying to think of some way to pass the time. A question entered my head, and I suddenly wanted an answer.
Yusuke: Have you two kissed?
Yukina: Well, we--
Kuwabara: Urameshi! This has nothing to do with you.
Yusuke: I'm just asking.
Yukina: Since we were going out today, I was thinking that tonight I just might--
Kuwa: We're not talking to this perverted intruder, are we, Yukina-san?
Yukina: It's true...
Kuwa: Let me check the pots, and then we'll talk. Later.
Monologue: I was really thinking now, but I figured this was a good time to shut up and wait. Kuwabara calmed down through our dinner, but as far as I could tell, Yukina looked nervous the whole time. I wondered if she was hoping to kiss Kuwabara on the evening of their first date - or maybe more. I didn't want to butt in on their relationship, but I was curious.
Yukina: Thank you very much for helping. I will be back in a moment or two.
(Yukina leaves.)
Kuwa: Got a minute for cleaning up?
(Choice 1 - I guess so.
