Chapter 1: Reunion

Do you know what it feels like to be a veteran who just came from the war? The world celebrates, everyone continues their life in peace, no more the oh-so-scary-and-powerful tyrant who tried to take over the world. Most of us don't, but Yusuke Urameshi certainly does. It was 10 years after the demon world crisis where he had to help his soulfather, Raizen, with his starvation problem. But for now he wasn't a spirit detective anymore. He was just a simple mechanic, tinkering his client's motorcycle in his garage.

After fastening the last bolt, he wiped his smudgy face with his own shirt, but when he was about to stand, he saw a shadow behind him.

"No! The shop is closed for the day! Can't you ever let me have time for myself for one second? I swear I'll-" He turned his back and saw someone he wasn't expecting.

"You'll what? Punch me in the face, Urameshi?" The face belonged to someone called Kazuma Kuwabara, one of Yusuke's schoolmates, and his rival.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Kazuma Kuwabara in person. It's been a long time, pal. What are you doing here?" Yusuke asked him, putting his hands on the hips.

Kuwabara smiled, "I was just passing around this neighborhood and I rememberd this is where you used to live. So I thought I was going to stop by and say hi. How are you doing?"

Yusuke turned around towards his garage, "You see for yourself, this is where I live and work."

He gave Kuwabara a tour around the place, showing his motorcycles, his tools and an unfinished project in front of them.

"Not too shabby, to be honest. How did you get the money to buy all this stuff?" Kuwabara asked him.

"My father left me a quite large amount of money when he passed away. So when my mom died last year, it's all mine." Yusuke answered him, folding his arm with his usual cocky attitude.

Kuwabara suddenly felt so bad, "Whoa, I'm sorry, man. I didn't know that."

Yusuke just waved at him, "Nah, it's alright. She died peacefully in her sleep, anyway."

Kuwabara walked three steps before looking at the bike that had been dissected, "Wow, I'm surprised you even get a customer with your bad attitude. Did you beat the crap out of him when he refused?"

Yusuke felt confused now, "Hey! I may be rude, but I'm not stupid. I know when to give someone my fist, especially a carrothead like you!"

"What did you say, you jerk?" Kuwabara shouted then pinning Yusuke's head in a lock, but Yusuke stomped his foot, which made him release his head.

"Geez, Kuwabara, I see you keep yourself strong. How do you do it?" Yusuke asked him intently.

"Guess what, after high school, I joined with a local baseball club, and now I play for them as a batter. This is my second year." He told Yusuke and chuckled after that, showing how proud he was with his success.

Yusuke saw him with wide eyes, "Wow, congrats to you, man. I bet your skill with Spirit Sword helps a lot, doesn't it?"

"You bet it does! Do you know my record? From 20 hits, I only fail twice, in fact, I'm the best batter in my region now! Hehehehe," he shrugged.

Rolling his eyes, Yusuke headed back to his chair and sat down, "Good for you, then. I ain't got any chance to use my fighting skill after high school. All my grades are shit, and this is the best job I can come up with." He took a gulp of soda from his bottle.

"Hey, I got an idea!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "Why don't we meet with our old buddies. You know, Kurama, Hiei and Genkai."

Yusuke snapped himself back from his chair, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down! I don't mind having a reunion with Kurama or Hiei, but if you really plan to bring that old hag, you must be crazy, man."

Kuwabara eyed him with confusion and felt baffled, "Why the hell not? It's been 10 years now since the last time you saw her. I don't think she's going to scold you or anything like that. It'll be great, I promise."

Yusuke took some time to think whether he would go or not, "I don't believe I'm saying this, but okay then, I'm in. When is this reunion and where?"

Kuwabara scratched his head which was not itchy, "How about Genkai's place a week from now? So you can finish, uh, whatever that is…" He pointed at the bike, "then you took a day off for the meeting. Sounds cool?"

"Meh, whatever. I don't care, I still think it will suck, big time. I already regret my decision now." Yusuke shrugged. But Kuwabara embraced him, "Come on, man. Don't give me that look, cheer up, buddy. Okay?"

"Yeah, whatever. Just go away! I already missed my Sunday morning anime!"

A week had passed, and Kuwabara was finally in front of Genkai's house. He knocked the door three times and after waiting for a minute, they were opened by none other than the old lady herself. "Hello, Genkai. It's nice to see you. How's your day?" He smiled and tried to chitchat.

The one he talked to just gave him a scowl, "Just come inside and stop your babble already!"

Suddenly he felt like he was slapped so hard, "Ooookay then…"

Inside the house, he was given a cup of tea while waiting for everyone. Then after 15 minutes of awkward waiting, another person came. It was Kurama, a minute after that came, Kayko, Yukina, Shizuru and Botan. The last came to Kuwabara to talk, "Hey Kuwabara, what's up?"

"Oh hello, Botan, nice to meet you. It's been a long time and you still look as pretty as before," he finished it with a smile.

Botan laughed and felt embarrassed at the sametime, "Oh thank you, Kuwabara. You don't have to. Hahahaha."

"Don't let him get to you, Botan. You deserve a better one." Kuwabara felt insulted all the sudden and retorted to the person, "What do you mean by that, sis? I was just saying hello!"

Shizuru only enjoyed her tea and cigarette without even looking at him, "You may be able to fool anyone, but you can't fool me, bro. I have watched you since you were born. So drop the act."

Kuwabara could only jumped backwards and let a single tear hanging on his right eye, "She's so mean…"

Then someone walked to the room where they were hanging out, he was dressed in all black clothes and wielded a sword on the side of his waist. Kurama then stood up and greeted him, "Hiei! You're here. I thought you would never come."

The said man didn't answer the demon fox right away, instead he walked to the other side of the room and sat on the floor. "Tell me again, Kurama, what am I doing here?"

"Oh, don't be so rude, Hiei. We're just meeting some old friends, that's all. It won't hurt your pride, will it?" Kurama teased him and smiled slyly, because well, he was a fox after all. But Hiei didn't feel the need to answer him, so he just closed his eyes and dozed off.

For a moment, everyone was having a nice time together, Kuwabara was taking to Yukina, maybe he tried to rekindled the lost fire between them, much to Hiei's dismay. Kayko was talking to Shizuru and Botan while sipping their tea, "So Botan , what are you doing here on Earth? I thought your job was finished after that last tournament."

Botan placed her cup on the table, "Oh, actually, as Koenma's servant, my job is never finished. You see, yesterday I just finished my report on some petty demons who stole an artifact from the museum, and the day before that, I sent Koenma my review about a strange sighting on ghosts in the forest. But don't worry, everything's under control. The current spirit detective is doing a pretty good job. She's not as talented as Yusuke, to be honest, but she's good."

"Wow, a female spirit detective, huh? I think Spirit World knows about gender equality too. Tell me, what does she look like?" Kayko asked her.

Botan then put her finger on her chin while thinking, "Hmmm, how do I put it? She's like Sensui when it comes to action, which means she doesn't charge head on, like some people here. But of course, minus the craziness. I don't think she will be Sensui 2.0, you know," she finished explaining then waved her hair.

Shizuru listened all that and put her cigarette out in the ashtray, "I just hope she doesn't have a friend like my brother, or her career will be cut short."

Botan only scowled at her reaction, but before she could say anything, Genkai called, "I'm sure you're enjoying yourself and whatever, but it looks like the last guest haven't arrived yet, so maybe…"

The doors were slammed violently, then lo and behold, the man she was speaking about was there in white T-shirt and brown pants, trying to catch his breath after running. "Not so fast, old lady!"

"Late as usual, Urameshi. It's nice to see you haven't changed after all these years. I can't really see you as a businessman in expensive suit. The world might blow up if I saw that day." Genkai told him calmly.

Frustration reached the top at the back of Yusuke's head, he threw his hands up in the air, then formed them into fists, "Hasn't anyone ever teach you some manner, old woman? Why do you never say anything nice to me?" He directed his attention to Kuwabara, "See? I told you this is why inviting her is a big mistake… Ahhhh!"

Using her telekinetic power, Genkai flipped him upside down in midair, then dropped him on the floor where he landed with a thud. Yusuke quickly got up to his feet and tried to hit his former master, but he was stopped when he heard someone yelling, "YUSUKE! Didn't your mother taught you never to hit a woman?!" It was Kayko.

Suddenly he felt his anger disappeared and it was replaced with dread and confusion, "You... You invite them too, Kuwabara?"

Kuwabara only shrugged and played dumb, he knew exactly the right person who could tame him like a little puppy, "Why the hell not? She's still your girlfriend, right? I just don't want to face her wrath for not inviting her."

Yusuke said nothing, but looking at his best friend in the eye and pointed his finger at him, "You and I need to talk after this." Then he moved to the corner and sat with long face. His relationship with Kayko had been on and off the last few years, mainly after she graduated from the university. She studied international politics, so her job required her to travel aboard to meet new people and that made him feel a little bit left behind. When she returned to Japan, he tried to meet her and take her out on a date, but knowing she met foreign people with probably better attitude made him inferior sometimes.

After everyone was in place, Kuwabara quickly ran to the center of the room and started his speech, "Welcome, everyone. Thank you for coming on short notice. I make this reunion simple for the fact that it's been 10 years since we were together. So I really hope we can share stories and remember the good times we had, just for the old time sake."

"Wow, I didn't know you can be so eloquent. I thought you are always a pigheaded moron who talks something you don't know." It seemed the bad blood between Kuwabara and Hiei never ceased, but Kuwabara tried his best not to lose himself just because someone insulted him, something he learned from the baseball club.

"Listen, little man, I really don't want to ruin my day, so you better go back to you nap and let me finish my sp-" His sentence was never finished because a blue portal showed up under his feet and sucked him from where he stood. Everyone was shocked and jumped, "What the fuck was that?" Yusuke shouted. The next portal opened in the wall just behind the girls, sucking them inside altogether, "Kayko! No!" Yusuke screamed. The third portal opened in the center of the room, trying to pull the rest of them. They all activated their spirit energy to anchored them to the floor, but something was draining their spirit energy, making them losing control. Genkai was the first to go, but Yusuke caught her hand and hold himself on the wall. Then suddenly the portal was like using the second gear, the suction increased dramatically and no one prepared for something like that. Yusuke, Genkai, Kurama and Hiei were all pulled inside that portal, then it was disappeared, leaving an empty house in the middle of daylight.

I think a lot about this story while writing my Gladiator-Oblivion story. I'm planning to put each character into specific faction. That's it for now. Thank you so much for reading. Feel free to give me reviews. :-)

Until next time,
