Author's Note: Greetings everyone! Well, it has been a while, and the Iron Maiden is playing in the background. Although this chapter is currently being edited to The Offspring's Greatest Hits. I have to confess that I bought this album, because I used to listen to Offspring a lot when I was in high school (it's scary for me to think that it's been just over seven years since I graduated), but from what I've listened to everything on this album past Ixnay on the Hombre sucks. I guess Offspring hasn't done that good since 1997, but oh well. I'll probably throw in some Offspring lyrics when needed throughout the story.

Now I'm sure that you're tried to hearing my bullshit, so let's talk about the story. Due to the number of reviews I received for Here to Eternity I decided to write a sequel. This story takes place one year after the conclusion of Here to Eternity, and since that time I've watched all the Yu-Yu Hakusho episodes (minus episode 110, because my DVD of "Yusuke Rediscovered" is slightly screwed up, but I should have that replaced tomorrow). Anyway, the mistakes I may have made with Here to Eternity with the series I will attempt to reconcile, while keeping the flow of Here to Eternity consistent. All right, that's the announcements for now. Now I ask all of you to please read and review.

I got someone who loves me tonight.
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank and I'm all right.
Look deep in the eyes of love.
Look deep in the eyes of love.
And find out what you were looking for.
I got a room at the top of the world tonight.
I got a room at the top of the world tonight.

I got a room at the top of the world tonight.
And I ain't coming down…no.
I ain't coming down-

"Room at the Top"-Tom Petty

An End to Bliss

Chapter I

Yusuke Urameshi yawned through the chilly air as he prepared to enter his apartment. It had been nearly three years since Yusuke and his companions defeated King Yama, and since that time Yusuke had attempted to settle into what could be considered a 'normal' life.

As he turned the knob and opened the door, the first thing Yusuke noticed was Kayko in her fourth month of pregnancy sitting on the couch with Kosuke, their two-year-old son, asleep in her arms.

Yusuke smiled, sat beside his wife, and kissed her. "So, how was your day today?"

Kayko returned the smile. "Oh, you know. Changing diapers; running after a two-year-old."

"Sounds like a typical day, eh?"

Kayko smirked. "You should try it sometime."

Yusuke chuckled. "Yeah, you're probably right…too bad it's not quite my thing."

Kayko responded with a giggle. "So I've noticed…every time you've tried."

Yusuke continued to chuckle, and ran two fingers through his son's brown hair.
"So now that you've heard about my day, let's hear about yours."

"Just one customer after another."

"Good, that's how we can afford to live here."

"Unless I can get my old job back as a spirit detective with money…"

"Don't you even think about that! We've one baby and another on the way. It's time to settle down, Yusuke."

Yusuke yawned. "Boring!"

Kayko playfully punched him in the arm.

"Hmph!" Yusuke replied with a smile. "But on another topic, one of the customers who came in today was pretty interesting."

"Why's that?"

"It was Chu."

"Chu?"

"What you've forgotten already. He's the guy I fought the 'knife-edge death match' with in the Dark Tournament."

Kayko frowned. "That wasn't a very good day for me."

"So I remember…"

"But," Kayko added, while her expression changed, "he did come to my aid when I was helping you recover from Genkai's test."

"Yeah, I remember you telling me about that."

"So what did Chu want?"

"He wants to have a drink with me tomorrow. He said that he was upset when I didn't return to Demon World to take part in the second tournament, and that's when I told him that I have a wife and son now, plus another baby on the way."

Kayko smiled.

"He didn't quite understand my logic in such things, but I still want to take him up on his offer. I haven't seen him in a while, and it'd be nice to talk about some of my old friends."

Kayko nodded. "Just don't try to match drink for drink with him."

Yusuke chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't. I drink very moderately. It's something I learned from watching my mom…Want to hear something else interesting?"

Kayko perked her ears.

"I stopped by and visited Kuwabara today. We're not the only ones having a baby."

"Yukina's pregnant!"

Yusuke nodded. "That was confirmed today."

"How many months is she?"

"I don't know, but she's barely showing; so I'd say at least three."

"Well, I'll have to congratulate Yukina when I see her tomorrow. The two of us're planning to visit Genkai."

"What! You're going to walk up all those steps to Grandma's temple!"

"Yes, Yusuke! I'm a grown woman, not a little girl; and I know that I've the ability to walk up those steps."

"But you're four months pregnant! And what about Kosuke?"

"He's coming with me; and yes, I know that I'm four months pregnant. Quit worrying so much about me. You remind me of my dad."

Yusuke sighed. "All right, fine."

Kayko smiled. "That's better. And don't worry; Shizuru's going with us. She can help with Kouske if needed."

"Good, I'll feel better with Shizuru with you. You know…it's interesting."

"What is?"

"The way things are now. Kuwabara's married and in college. Shizuru looks to have maybe found a nice guy for her. Kurama's in college and has a girlfriend. Yukina's pregnant. And Hiei…well, I guess Hiei's enjoying his job as one of the guardians of the pseudo space. Speaking of Hiei, I wonder what he'd say when he learns that Yukina's pregnant with Kuwabara's child?"

"I'm sure he'd just curse and insult Kuwabara like he normally does."

Yusuke laughed. "Yeah, you're probably right."
