Alright, I have never seen a story dealing with this topic so here I go!!!
Don't own it, don't sue
"Suiichi! Come down for a moment, there is someone that I would like you to meet."
"Coming mother" Kurama said, slowly descending to the first floor of the house that he and his mother lived in.
When he walked into the room his eyes scanned over the three people standing in it. One of them was, naturally, his mother. The second was a man around his mother's age or perhaps a little younger with light brown hair and eyes the color of the sky at midnight. The third was younger than him, maybe twelve years old, with hair the color of a country dirt road. He was looking around the room so Kurama couldn't see his face yet. From his choice of clothes it appeared that he was the type whose image was more important than anything else, a real 'cool kid'.
"Suiichi, this is Dr. Tarquine, one of the doctors that helped treat me in the hospital (AN/ I don't know what his step fathers name is supposed to be so I just made one up, kay?) and his son, Suiichi"
The two Suiichis locked eyes. Kurama could see that Suiichi was looking him over, seeing if he was cool enough to talk to. Apparently the answer was no because he didn't say anything. It was Tarquine who greeted him. After a few tense moments, Kurama went back up stairs.
ONE YEAR LATER:
So much had happened since then. Dr. Tar, as Kurama had called him when no one else was not around, and Shiori had grown very close. The two Suiichis, however, had not even really talked to each other since they had first met, not that they had talked then either. One of them would go to dinner at the other one's house and sat next to one another but they said nothing to each other.
One night they found that they had been called into the same room.
"We have something important to tell you" Dr. Tar said in a business like tone. Kurama had to keep from rolling his eyes. It sounded more like he was trying to get them to reorganize their portfolio rather than talk about the relationship with him and Shiori.
"We are engaged." Shiori interrupted with a pleasant smile on her face.
"We will not be getting married for some time but Shiori and I have talked about this. Suiichi, umm, not you son, big Suiichi, you and your mother will be moving in with Suiichi and me."
Kurama forced a smile and hoped that it looked real. In his head he was practically screaming. He could not stop thinking about everything that he was losing even though he was not moving very far away. The main thing was his garden. He had spend hours in it toiling away, making every flower perfect. "My house is larger so it would be a better fit. There are three bedrooms but once all of the boxes from this house get over there we will not be able to use it because there will be nowhere else to store all of the stuff. This will only be temporary though. We will be moving to a larger house after the marriage."
"But Dad, why cant they just stay at their own house?"
"Because, Shiori and I have to save up some money for the larger house."
Kurama sat through the argument between Suiichi and Dr. Tar. Suiichi was clearly not pleased with the idea of someone sleeping in his room. His mind raced with ideas to escape the situation. He could not find any. His last hope was that Yusuke could come up with a mission. As usual, missions only came at inopportune moments which explained why he could be free of missions for weeks only to have one come up on his first date with some pretty girl from his school.
"This is great news but I have to do some math homework real quick. I did not understand all of the lesson so I have to call one of my friends before he leaves his house." Kurama blurted out to free himself. This excuse gave him an evil glare from his soon to be step brother.
He did not actually have any more homework to do, he had finished it long before he had been called down for the important discussion but he really needed to talk to someone. He reached the phone in his room and quickly dialed Yusuke's number.
"Hello, if you are a toddler and want me to do work for you or the grim reaper, go to hell! If you are anyone else then leave a message after the beep." The phone said before emitting a shrill beep
Kurama hung up the phone in annoyance. He dialed Kuwabara's number even though he didn't think that he could handle such complexities as answering a phone, especially if Yukina was anywhere near him. Again, he got an answering machine.
"Where did they go? It's a Tuesday night for crying out loud! Well, one last shot, good old Genki"
His fingers typed the number into the phone and he put it to his ear, waiting for someone to answer. Sadly, he heard a tape start to play. "I am not here nor do I want to talk to anyone. Do not call me!"
"Where could everyone go on a Tuesday night?" Kurama asked as he reached for his calendar. He scanned down to the date. "Oh crap! There was a meeting tonight, figures. Well, since I missed it Hiei will be here soon to make sure that I am still living."
As if on cue, there was a small tap on the glass of Kurama's window. He opened it and let Hiei in.
"Why did you miss the meeting Kurama?" Hiei demanded, not sounding pleased about having to go to Kurama's house when it was not raining.
"I am sorry, but I was not able to attend due to family matters. My mother and Dr. Tarquine were announcing their engagement to my soon to be step brother and me. I will also be moving to a different house soon so I will be hard to reach for the next few weeks. Please inform the rest of our group."
Without a word Hiei turned and left. Kurama knew that Hiei wouldn't have wanted to listen to his complaints so he had not even bothered trying to tell him about the Dr. Tar problem. He decided then and there that he would not trouble everyone else with his problems. Each of them had troubles. Yusuke had his drunk mother, Kuwabara had his confused Yukina, Hiei had too many to count but also had Kuwabara to deal with. He could handle his own troubles.
A FEW DAYS LATER
"Suiichi dear, I have a bag for you. Now remember, only put the things that you think that you will need such as clothes, stuff for your school work, and any books that you want to read between now and the moving date."
"Yes mother" Kurama said, taking the duffle bag and placing it on his floor. He looked around his room to decide what he wanted to take. He pulled some of his favorite outfits out of the closet and placed them inside the bag. He would just keep all of his school supplies in his backpack where they already were. However, he needed to add a few things to his collection. He threw a computer dictionary in one of the smaller compartments and added a few more sharpened pencils to his already large collection. He tossed a protractor in with the dictionary and looked on his desk to see if he had missed anything. Everything that he needed was already shoved in the bag.
Once the necessities were taken care of, Kurama moved on to what he wanted to take. He slipped a CD player, headphones, and his CD carrier into the bag, placing them next to his socks. He scanned the room until he saw the small snapshot on his mirror. It had everyone in it. It had Hiei, Yukina, Yusuke (with Puu on his head), Botan, Kuwabara, Koenma, and himself. Everyone, even Hiei, was smiling. Koenma had decided to appear in teenager form for that photo but Kurama also had one of him as a toddler. He put both of those pictures into his bag and reached under his desk to pull out a small sketch book. He looked though the pages. They were full of sketches of his friends. He had one of Yusuke shooting off his spirit gun, one of Puu, one of Hiei in his demon form, and multiple ones of Youko Kurama. He flipped to the last page that he had drawn on. It was an unfinished picture of Kuronue. (AN/ I have seen so many different spellings of that that it isn't even funny!) In a small corner of the page Kurama drew the pendent that he had been so attached to.
Soon he figured that he had everything that he could use, which included more books than most libraries dream of having. He had no idea just how long the stay was going to be. His mother and soon-to-be step father had not yet set a definite date yet. All he knew was that all of the time spent there would be torture.
"Are you ready?" Shiori asked cheerfully.
"Yes Mother" Kurama said, trying to forget about the fact that he was leaving his room for one of the last times. As he got into the car he stared longingly at the garden that would soon die without his care. He had been thankful for the early spring that had allowed him to get a jump start on everything. Now it was put to waste.
They pulled into Dr. Tar's driveway some time later. To Kurama it felt like eternity. He stared out of the window, not wanting his mother to see his sad face. On the way there he got a glance at his new high school. Dr. Tar lived in a different school district. At that point he knew that Shiori had taken the very long way so that he could get a glance at the school. The other Suiichi would still be in the middle school for one more year. He would be starting out with no one that he knew. This year had been the best. Yusuke and Kuwabara had finished middle school and were in the same high school as Kurama. They had even had an elective together as well as lunch.
I silent tear escaped his eye. Nothing was like it had been before. He had heard about this district. It was known for its bad asses. The school was huge. It looked like a maze to Kurama even from the outside. The parking lots were separated into multiple sections, obviously separate ones for teachers, staff, juniors, and seniors, as well as a very small parking lot for the principal, vice principal, and other select members. None of the lots were marked though.
Suddenly he noticed that they were pulling into a driveway. He looked around as though it were the first time that he had seen the place. It was the first time that he had seen it in the day time. Dinners were normally late, always after the sun had set. He grass was somewhat green but mostly brown. He peered about to see if there were any trees nearby the house. The only tree in the yard as a small squatty one that Kurama could have jumped over. There were places to put flowers and shrubs but Dr. Tar was apparently more interested in growing dirt than flowers.
Dr. Tar and Suiichi greeted them at the door. Dr. Tar and Shiori hugged and kissed, Dr. Tar shook Kurama's hand, and Shiori hugged Suiichi. Neither Kurama or Suiichi made any move towards each other in the way of greeting.
"Suiichi dear" Shiori called once she had walked over to the car. "Come help me with these bags"
"Yes Mother" he replied as he started walking there.
Once all of the bags were taken in Kurama sat on his new bed. He instantly detested it but kept his mouth shut. It did not take very long for Suiichi to walk into Kurama's new room.
"Lets get a few things straight" the younger of the two said. "You are in MY house. You will not go in my room, I have the say in what channel the TV is on, and you don't cause trouble"
"I have no desire to go into your room until I need to" Kurama said as politely as he could manage. "I hardly ever watch TV, and I never cause trouble."
"The game stations are mine as are the games. You cant use them."
"Fine with me, I don't find video games entertaining"
"I get to take my showers first in the morning"
"Very well, I don't mind waiting"
"My DVDs are mine, don't touch them."
"I have my own, thank you, and you are welcome to borrow them if you want."
"You are the new twerp that has invaded my house, stolen my name, taken my father, is that clear"
"I have done none of those things. I was invited into your house, I am older, therefore I had my name before you and yours and thus could not have stolen it, and I have not harmed your father in any way. You can keep him if you want. I see no reason for you to continue this. You are merely trying to anger me with these rules and are only angering yourself because none of them have bothered me." Kurama said those things without hardly looking at him. Instead he focused on taking a few things out of his bag. It would only be a few days until the room was clogged with boxes but both Dr. Tar and Shiori had thought that it would be best if the two Suiichis had different rooms at first.
"And don't touch my computer"
"I was told by your father that it was the family computer and I was free to use it anytime that I wished." What Suiichi had not realized was that he had found the one thing that Kurama needed, the computer. He used it for research, keeping in touch with friends, and too many school assignments to count. "are you finished yet?"
"Until I think of something else"
"Now I want to get a few things straightened out. One, I am not here to take everything away from you. All that you have lost so far is a spare room. Two, things will be better if we get along, for our parents sake if not for our own. Three, there are some aspects of my life that I would prefer that you stay out of. It would be considerate of you to keep your nose in your own business and out of mine. And four, if you behave civilly to me then I shall do so to you. You treat me like dirt and you will wish that you were up to that level. Any problems?"
"I will do what I want when I want to do it. If I want to know something, you tell me. I don't care if you think that it is private. This is my house, I can do what I want."
Without another word, Suiichi left the room, leaving Kurama wishing that he had not said that last bit about the dirt. He really wanted to get along with him but it did not seem possible given the circumstances. Suiichi was convinced that he was trying to take everything away from him, including his father. The only thing that kept Kurama from throttling the poor human was the fact that his mother would highly disapprove. Killing siblings was not nearly as common among humans as it was demons and was frowned upon. Things here were very different from his old life as a thief, lucky Suiichi.

now was that original or what? (Or what is more like it)
please review. I just uploaded a chapter on another story and no one reviewed it so now I'm kinda depressed and think that I cant write worth crap.
Don't own it, don't sue
