All I can say is that "I lied". I really miss "Uh, Oh!" (and I know you guys do, too!:D) so I've decided to write this little baby! It's not much right now, but don't worry. It will get better. And I'm sorry, you guys, but I probably won't be updating this everyday like I did with the other two. So, sorry, I'm just putting that out there right now. So, anyway! Enjoy, you guys!:D


Fourteen years. It had been fourteen years since the two of them had given into their impulses behind Genkai's place. Shizuru felt so old, really old. She turned her body to the side, her hands on her hips as her eyes never left the full-length mirror in front of her. She sighed deeply, looking at her underwear-clad body in the mirror.

"God, I look terrible." She groaned. "I'm huge."

She wasn't huge, that was an exaggeration. Her body was a lot curvier than it was before she had had children. She did have a little pudge, but that didn't make her "huge".

"Get the hell away from there."

She turned to see Hiei sitting up in bed, resting his back against the headboard.

"Well, good morning to you, too." She rolled her eyes.

"Get away from that thing, it always makes you depressed." Hiei got out of bed and slid his feet into his black slippers then padded over to his wife. "We should destroy it."

"Oh, come on." She rolled her eyes gain.

"You come on." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her bare stomach. "You're beautiful, and I hate it when you're depressed."

"You're sweet." She ran a hand through his hair. "I think I'm going to start going to the gym again."

"No!" Hiei said, holding her tighter. "You're body is amazing just the way it is!"

"Chubby chaser." She joked, breaking free from his arms.

"So? There's nothing wrong with that. Get back here." He grabbed her by her wrist, pulling her back to him. He stood on his toes to kiss her.

"I have to finish getting ready for work, go back to sleep."

"I'm wide awake, my love." He said, pulling her to the bed.

"Hiei, no. We can't." She smiled at him as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Why not?" He asked, running his hands up and down her body. "You're so beautiful."

"Stop that." She slapped his hands away. "You horny little goblin."

"Demon!" He corrected, crossing his arms over his chest in a pout. "I'm a demon, not a goblin. There's a difference."

"Not much." She said, turning back to her closet to get her clothes and finish getting dressed.

"Hn."

"Oh, cut it out." She said, tugging on her pants.

"Hn."

"It was a joke!" She said, turning back to him.

"Ha, ha." He said dryly. "Not funny."

"Oh, grow up, you bi-polar midget."

"Make me, you –"

"Watch what you say, mister, or you're sleeping on the couch." She threatened playfully.

He smirked at her then watched her finish getting dressed and ready for work.

"You're beautiful." He said softly as she put her shoes on.

"Thanks." She said flatly.

"I'm serious."

"You're sweet."

"Even for a bi-polar midget?" He gave her a half smile, which she mirrored.

"Of course, darling." She kissed him on the nose. "I love you."

"I love you, too." He said, putting his arms around her again in a hug and nuzzling her stomach.

The two jerked away from each other when they heard a knock at the door. It opened slowly and a nine-year-old boy in a school uniform with hair the color and shape of a flame stuck his head in the room and lisped.

"Good morning, mom and dad." Kuya said, smiling. "Mom, we're ready to go."

It was the first day of school for their children. Haru and Sumi had been home schooled ever since an incident where half of their third grade class was scorched and the other half was frozen.

They had been taught at Genkai's temple, Kurama was their main teacher, teaching them everything from history to science to basic math and algebra. Riko and Botan had been their art teachers; Riko focusing mostly on photography while Botan dabbled a bit in painting and sculpting and everything else art related. Hiei taught them how to control their powers while Yusuke and Kuwabara taught them everything else – everything that everyone else thought was unimportant (like Video Games 101).

Now, after Shizuru thinking that the twins needed a better social life, they were starting junior high. Kuya wasn't like his older brother and sister; he couldn't set things on fire or freeze things and he hadn't been home schooled. He was just like his uncle, Kazuma Kuwabara, in almost every single way.

Shizuru and Hiei smiled proudly at their youngest son then at each other. They kissed each other good-bye then Shizuru followed her son out to the living room of their house, where Sumi and Haru stood in their junior high uniforms, looking awkward.

Sumi had had a growth spurt when she was thirteen and now was very gifted in the upper body area. It had startled Hiei and he always insisted on her wearing a giant sweater whenever she went out, even if it was extremely hot outside. Kuwabara, Yusuke and Kurama profoundly agreed.

Haru hadn't changed much; he just looked a lot more like his father. He still had a slight baby face, which made girls find him irresistible. His navy uniform was baggy and made him feel uncomfortable. He flipped the collar up in an attempt to try to hide his face.

"Mom, do we really have to go?" He groaned. "Normal kids hate us."

"That's not true." Shizuru said, ushering her children out the door and towards the car. "You're going to have a great day, and you're going to make lots of friends."

"But –"

"You're going to have a great day and you're going to make lots of friends." Shizuru repeated, giving a warning look at her older son.

Haru rolled his eyes and got into the back seat with his sister as Kuya got into the passenger seat and buckled up.

"Mommy?" Sumi said a few minutes later (she had never grown out of calling Shizuru 'mommy'). "What if Haru's right and people hate us?"

"Nobody's going to hate you." Shizuru glanced at the twins in the backseat through the rearview mirror. "Just as long as you stay out of trouble and don't set anything on fire."

"Ha-ha, mom, really funny." Haru grunted as he turned to look out his window. He even sounded just like his father.

"Seriously, stay out of trouble today." She warned as she made her way to the junior high. "I don't want to have to send you away to a boarding school or anything."

"You wouldn't!" The twin gasped in unison.

"You wouldn't separate us, would you, mommy?" Sumi asked, clutching Haru's hand tightly in her own.

Haru jerked his hand away from his sister as Shizuru stopped the car in front of the junior high, a look of slight embarrassment on his face. Shizuru turned around to get a better look at her older children, sighing.

"Just stay out of trouble. Okay?" Sh asked, staring at Haru.

"Mom." He said slowly and clearly as he opened the car door, not taking his eyes off of her. "I promise you, I won't get in trouble."

"Good." She smiled. "Watch out for your sister."

"Mommy!" Sumi groaned exasperatedly as she scooted over to get out through the open car door. "I'm not a baby anymore."

"Then quit acting like one." Haru joked, helping her out.

She shoved him playfully and the two turned back to wave at Shizuru and Kuya. Shizuru waved back, watching as they made their way into the courtyard of the school.

"Maybe, I should go in there." She said softly. "Y'know, just see them off and make sure they're okay."

"Mom." Kuya turned to her. "Your baby birds are leaving the nest."

Shizuru looked at her younger son and she could feel the tears welling up behind her eyes. Her lip quivered as she turned back to the steering wheel.

"Oh, jeez! Mom, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry!"

She looked back at him and gave him a small smile, running her hand through his hair.

"At least I still have one baby bird left."

She started the car again and took off towards Kuya's elementary school.

Haru sighed and shook his head as Sumi stared up at the towering building of the junior high.

"I dunno about this, sis." Haru mumbled, watching the other teenagers with his father's uninterested look on his face. "I'd rather be home, listening to Kurama blab about tadpoles."

"Oh, this place isn't so bad." She said softly, searching the courtyard for her friend since kindergarten, Ai.

Haru sighed once more and flipped the collar of his uniform up again. He hated the awful navy color and how big it was on him. He grumbled under his breath about wanting to go home and he shoved his hands into uniform pockets. He jumped slightly, feeling somebody clap a hand on his shoulder. He turned to look up at the towering bulky body of his best friend, Ryo Narita. He smirked up at his friend and the two pounded their fists together.

"Hey, man. Ya ready for this?" Ryo asked.

Haru shrugged, making a face as he turned back to the school.

"I dunno. I'm gettin' this bad vibe from this place."

"Don't worry, dude, it's an all right place."

"Really?" Haru turned back to his friend.

"Yeah, it's a great place to catch up on sleep."

The two snickered as the three stepped away from the open gate to let other students pass by.

"We're going here to learn, you guys!" Sumi rolled her eyes. "Not sleep or goof off."

Haru rolled his eyes, muttering about his sister turning into his aunt Keiko. Ryo blushed as he noticed Sumi, scratching at the back of his head.

"Hey, Sumi." He cleared his throat, stammering. "You look pretty nice today."

Sumi smiled at Ryo, which made his blush deepen.

"Thanks, Ryo, that's really sweet." She turned towards the school, seeing her friend, Ai, at the doors. "Ai! Wait up!"

Haru and Ryo watched Sumi run off to meet up with her friend. Haru made another face then looked his friend up and down.

"Nice uniform, by the way." He said sarcastically.

"It was my brother's when he went here." Ryo grumbled, holding his arms out to show Haru how baggy the sleeves were. "Okubo was pretty big when he was a teen."

The two laughed as the bell rang. They turned to the building, watching as the students piled into the building.

"What's your first class?" Ryo asked, grabbing Haru's class schedule from his hand. "Man! We only have one class together!"

"No way, dude, that sucks!" Haru grumbled as they entered the school.

"Man, you got Akashi first period – he's such a douche."

"Who?"

"Mr. Akashi." Ryo adjusted his backpack, rolling his eyes. "I freaking hate that guy."

"Who do you have?"

"Some new teacher, I don't even remember her name." Ryo waved back at Haru as he went off in the opposite direction. "Seeya in fourth."

Haru jerked his head up in a nod at his friend then continued on his way to his class. He opened the door to see a tall man with two large front teeth sitting at a desk at the front of the class. The man looked up and made eye contact with Haru. Haru froze in his tracks, staring his new teacher down – something told him he was not going to like this class. He turned away and continued to walk to a desk at the back of the room, next to a window. He sat down just as his sister and her best friend walked in.

Sumi smiled and slid into an empty desk next to her friend, Ai. Haru shrugged and wondered if this was how it was going to be for the rest of the school year, him being a loner.

"All right." Mr. Akashi said, standing up from his desk with a sheet of paper in his hand. "I'm Mr. Akashi. Let me take roll and we'll get started."

Haru leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head as he stared out at a tree right outside the window. He wanted to climb it and relax in it, like he used when he was younger with his father and little brother.

Akashi stopped where he was on the roll sheet, a look of astonishment on his face. He couldn't believe it.

"Ku . . . Kuwabara?" He said softly.

"Which one?"

He looked up to see the class looking back at Sumi, her long black curly hair falling in her face as she tilted her head to the side.

"Who . . . who're you?" Mr. Akashi asked, pointing to her.

"I'm Sumi Kuwabara." Sumi answered cheerfully, pointing to Haru. "And that's my brother Haru."

Haru blinked and turned his attention back to the class to see that they were all staring at him, especially the teacher (who looked shocked and angry at the same time).

"What?" He grumbled. "You got a problem with us?"

"Are you, by any chance, related to Kazuma Kuwabara?"

"Yeah, that's our uncle!" Sumi chirped.

Haru winced; wishing for once that his sister wouldn't be so cheerful and friendly.

"Being related to one of the biggest idiots in the entire world isn't something to be proud of, young lady." Mr. Akashi smirked, sitting down on the edge of his desk.

Sumi's smile faded and she looked as if she were about to start crying. Haru glared at the teacher, sitting up straight in his seat.

"Where do you get off talkin' shit about our uncle like that?" Haru snapped, standing up.

The class turned and stared at Haru, gasping at the abrasive tone in his voice. Mr. Akashi narrowed his eyes at the young man, straightening his back.

"I can see that I'm going to have trouble with you this year." He stated lowly. "See me after class, Mr. Kuwabara."

Haru sat back down, cursing under his breath as students around him muttered and snickered. He glanced at Sumi, who had her head down on her desk with her arms draped over it as if she were falling asleep. He flipped open his text book to the right page as Mr. Akashi turned his back to the class and began to write on the board. Haru wondered why Kuwabara hadn't ever mentioned this guy before.

"That was the longest hour of my entire life!" Haru exclaimed as he and Sumi waited to leave the classroom. "That guy's an asshole."

"Haru, you should really watch your mouth." Sumi said, her voice emotionless as she looked down at the floor, her long raven tresses falling in her face.

"Mr. Kuwabara!" Akashi said in a singsong voice from his seat on the edge of his desk at the front of his class. "I thought I said for you to see me after class."

Haru rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to say something really mean but stopped when he noticed the bizarre look Mr. Akashi was giving him.

"I'll save you a seat in class, Haru." Sumi said softly before she walked away.

Haru looked at his twin sister, surprised as she took off down the hall to her next class. He groaned and went back into the classroom, slamming the door behind him. He trudged to the front of the class, looking uninterested with his new teacher. He just wanted to get it over with.

"I'm just going to come out and say this." Mr. Akashi stated, his glare deepening. "I don't like you and I'm never going to like you."

"Likewise, beaver face." Haru thought.

"Why? 'Cause I'm a Kuwabara?"

"Exactly, it's good to know that we're on the same page. I also don't care for your attitude. You're exactly like this other little moron that used to hang out with your uncle; a no good punk named Yusuke Urameshi."

Haru couldn't stop himself; his hand was at Mr. Akashi's neck, gripping it tightly. He glared at his teacher as Akashi's eyes widened and watered, coughing as he struggled to breathe.

"Say anything you want about me, but leave my family outta this."

Haru let go of Akashi's neck and walked out off the classroom, making his way quickly to his next class. He flung open the door, watching as his classmates' heads swiveled to look at him. His ruby eyes scanned the room, looking for his sister. He saw her in the middle of the room, boys sitting around her.

Sumi lifted her arms up and shrugged, giving him an apologetic look. Haru sighed and made his way to the back of the class to the only empty desk.

"And you are?"

Haru spun around to look at the big man at the front of the room. Like Akashi, this man didn't look too friendly. He was tall and had glasses, a glare never leaving his face.

"Haru Kuwabara." He stated, sitting down and kicking his feet up onto his desk.

The glare on the man's face deepened. Haru matched his teacher's glare, keeping eye contact with him.

"I'm Mr. Iwamoto." The man grunted.

Iwamoto sat down at his desk and folded his hands, leaning back in his chair as he instructed his students. Every once in a while, Haru would notice Iwamoto glaring at him. He rolled his eyes and looked over at Sumi, watching as the boys around her flirted with her and giggled nervously. She looked so oblivious as she continued with her work.

Ryo tossed the basketball at Haru, hitting him in the chest.

"So, how were your first classes?" He asked as Haru dribbled the ball and tossed it into the basket.

"Awful!" Haru stuck his tongue out. "You're so right about that Akashi guy, he hates me."

"Don't you think that's a bit harsh?" Ryo asked, snatching the ball from his friend and spinning around and dunking the ball.

"No, he actually said he didn't like me." Haru shrugged and flopped down onto the bleachers. "I wonder what my uncles did to make the teachers here hate them so much."

"They were probably just smart asses, just like you." Ryo smirked, sitting down next to his friend.

"Thanks, man." Haru grimaced. "That Akashi guy made my sister cry."

"Why?"

"He called my uncle Kazuma the biggest idiot in the world or something." Haru stretched, groaning softly. "Sumi and my uncle are like this."

Haru crossed his fingers and held them up to let Ryo see it.

"Wow, sorry, man."

"S'all right, I guess." Haru shrugged and leaned back into the bleachers. "Dude, do you have a teacher named Iwamoto?"

"Yes!" Ryo sighed, leaning back like his friend. "He's so much worse than Akashi. He's scary."

"Great, this is gonna be the greatest school year of my life."

Sumi ran by in her P.E. uniform; white shirt and red shorts. She smiled at her brother and Ryo as she ran by, waving.

"Hi, guys!" She said cheerfully. "Bye, guys!"

Ryo stared with wide eyes, his mouth agape and a blush forming across his face. Haru shot a halfhearted two-finger salute wave he had picked up from Yusuke at his sister before turning to his best friend and punching him in the stomach.

"That's my sister! Knock it off!"

"Sorry." Ryo chuckled nervously. "She's just . . . she's just . . ."

"Stacked, I know."

"That's not what I was gonna to say! Your sister's beautiful and I –"

"Yeah, yeah, I know! You like her, you've been saying that junk since we were in kindergarten."

"It's true, though."

"Man, get over it. It's not gonna happen."

"Don't be such a jerk."

Haru stuck his tongue out at Ryo, smirking. Ryo grabbed his friend's tongue and twisted it, laughing as Haru swung at him.

"Mr. Kuwabara, may I have a word with you?"

Ryo let go of Haru's tongue and the two boys stared at the big man in front of them. Haru blinked then looked at Ryo, who kept his eyes on the large man.

"I'm Mr. Takanaka." The big man said as Haru followed him out of the gym and into his office. "I'm the principal here. I just wanted to know if everything was okay with you."

"Okay with me?" Haru quirked an eyebrow as he stared at the principal, licking his dry lips. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I've heard something from a teacher of yours."

"Mr. Akashi?"

"Yes, and –"

"He started it."

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, he started it. He was making fun of my uncles."

"You must mean . . ."

"Yeah, I'm related to Kazuma Kuwabara. Yusuke Urameshi is kinda like family."

Haru waited for the big man's smile to disappear and a glare to take its place, but the smile just widened.

"They were good boys, how are they now?"

"Working, married, stuff like that."

"That makes me feel old." Takanaka chuckled.

The corners of Haru's lips twitched into a smile, he was starting to like this guy. He relaxed into his seat and proceeded to answer all of Takanaka's questions.

The twins walked home side by side. Haru stayed silent as his sister talked on and on about her day and the people she met.

"Gosh, those guys at school were so nice to me." She gushed, holding her books to her chest. "It was crazy. They even gave me their numbers in case I needed a tutor or anything."

"Sumi . . ." Haru said slowly, stopping with his hands in his pockets.

"Hm?" Sumi stopped and looked at her twin brother. "What? What's wrong?"

Haru shook his head and bit his tongue, trying not to hurt his sister's feelings. Sumi dropped her books and put her hands on her hips, her face scrunching angrily.

"Just come out and say it, Haru."

"Sis, they just want in your pants."

"Oh, for the love of Puu!" Sumi rolled her eyes and picked her books up. "You're just like dad and them."

Haru followed after his sister as they continued on their way home, groaning in frustration.

"Well, why don't you listen to us and instead of being so stupid?"

"I'm not stupid!" She spun around and glared at her brother. "You're just jealous because you don't have any friends!"

Haru stopped, his eyes wide in surprise. His sister had never yelled at him like that before. He felt cold all of a sudden and he looked down to see that he was up to his calves in solid ice. He jerked, trying to break free but realized it was no use.

"Have fun being frozen." Sumi shot angrily, continuing on her way home.
