Authors Note: My first attempt on a Yu Yu Hakusho Fanfic, please enjoy reading and feel free to review!
"What, ya stupid or what? How come, that you suck at just some easy exercises like thas?" The bold redhead laughed and almost caught a nice uppercut from the just slightly older boy, next to him.
"Geez...it gives me a head-crack just starin' at it..."
"You'd better give your best and pass the qualifying exams!" Kuwabara laughed and reached into his desk's drawer to pull out some snacks he hoarded there.
"heh, all Keiko's fault to force me into that stupid college!" Yusuke leaned back in his seat and stared out of the window. A storm was about to break out and dark clouds marred the sky today. It was almost half a year now, since he entered the tournament of the demon realm, fighting to get a hold on the throne. Well...he was too early like Raizen said and he wasn't unsatisfied with what he was able to achieve in such a short time.
"What're you thinking? You keep staring at those clouds, better stick your eyes on those books, before Keiko comes nagging at me!"
Ever since Kazuma made it into that college, he became quite good at learning, much to his older sisters relief and so, he spent most of his time either beeing at home and keeping his nose in his books, or beeing together with his friends, whenever he had some spare time. Life was going on in an almost constant, peaceful everyday habit and he was starting to get bored.
It wasn't bad, like it was now, though. With Enki ruling over Makai, there were rarely any interferences with Yokai anymore. Everything would be quiet and nice, at least for the next three years, until the Demon Realm Tournament was held again.
He shook his head and smiled. "Uhm...nothing. Everything is just fine!"
Rain poured down on the streets and people were in a haste to find a dry place to stay, as he left Kuwabara's house, leaving the door open for some moments, so a thoroughly soaked Eikitchi could storm into it, mewling and complaining. He smiled as Kazu-san instantly wrapped it into a towel as the door fell shut. Thunder roared across the sky and the lightning made the horizon flicker in a bright flash of light. He didn't care about getting wet, as he walked back home. That was until he could sense the yoki coming from a tree nearby.
"Yo, long time no see, Hiei! What brings you here?" He greeted the shorter yokai and grinned, lifting his head up, to look at him. After the tournament, everyone said goodbye and left, promising to see each other again at the next tournament. He did not expect to see Hiei first, of all people he left behind in Makai.
The three eyed demon, landed just some steps before him, his look as serious as ever and his piercing eyes darted on him.
"I am here to carry out a message. Hokushin wishes to see you, so don't keep him waiting for too long." He stared at Hiei for a moment, eyes widened and trying hard to think of a reason.
"See me? Well..." Yusuke just nodded, as the other male passed him, not even bothering to answer, or look back.
- "Where're you going?"
"See someone and then leave this world again..." And with that, he just disappeared.
So, the old servants of his demon ancestor wanted to see him. Must be something important, to even mobilize someone like Hiei, to find him. While he was thinking, he automatically headed for the direction, where his house was. His mother ought to be away and Keiko was still in school he knew, so maybe it was a good idea to inform Kurama if Hiei would not, or hasn't already. He took off his shoes and stepped inside the house as something felt strange.
He was aware of a presence, but could not pinpoint what, or where it was, as his eyes tried to search for anything, that was out of place. The house was quiet, almost eerily quiet and strangely empty, but somehow, he felt like having a deja vu. If only he could find out...
"Yo, son..." Yusuke almost fell over as he practically jumped the moment, he was hearing that voice.
"What the f...whoa, don't you sneak up on me like that ya old bastard!" How? He stared into the face of his ancestor and his breath almost hitched, while the demon lord burst out laughing, his deep voice rumbling from his chest, as he leaned against the kitchens doorframe and watched the black-haired youth with amusement.
"Why are you here and how in hell could you possibly be alive?" This was not a dream and he didn't remember passing out, or beeing hit by a car a second time...
"Hm...well, a long story so you'd better get your ass seated and listen."
He was too surprised to even complain and somehow, the half-yokai had the feeling, that it will be a quite complicated kind of story, his "dad" was about to tell...
