Never Had Thought About It
By Rai Minamino
Chapter 1- Unusual
After Yusuke had gone to Makai (The World of Monsters/ Demons), things had been the same again, he was back at his old home with his mom, who is always drunk every night. Although he proposed to Keiko Yukimura, they will only be married as they reach the age of 20. Yusuke is now 17 years old, as well as Keiko and Kuwabara, his enemy, at the same time his best friend. They are now in High School, in their second year. Kurama, or should we call as Shuuichi Minamino, is now in third year high school and in his graduating year. Everybody else is with their jobs, Koenma and Botan in Rei Kai (spiritual world) and Hiei was left in Makai as what was said after the tournament to reign in Makai.
Everything was back to normal, Yusuke cannot imagine how much, or what adventures he had been into. His mom Atsuko, is always drunk as usual. They moved into a new house, not far from their apartment, his mom got some money from his grandmother in Kyushu. Everything is fine, but Yusuke still wondered if he still had to work as a Rei Kai Tantei.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Yusuke!! YUSSUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Atsuko squealed, a squeal heard all over their new house. Yusuke blinked, slightly opening his right eye and seeing the bright sunlight of an early morning. He buried his face with his pillow, ignoring his mother's shouts. Atsuko went up to the bedroom with her light steps, yes, light steps, not heavy ones that reveal that she wasn't drunk the previous night. She opened the door angrily, and got up in front of her son's bed. She twisted his ears and pulled it up, then shouted, "YUSUKE URAMESHI!!!!!!!!! STAND UP NOW!!!!!!!!! IT'S GETTING LATE!!!!!!!!!!!" This was unusual, because his mother never really wake up this early in the morning. Yusuke felt the pain in his eardrums and the goat-like voice of his mom, he was surprised. He finally got up his bed, but something that surprised him a lot, for when he looked at his mother, her face expressed a lot of concern. "You got to go to school right now," she said in a low tone, and then she went back downstairs. Yusuke was stunned. His mom doesn't usually do this in fact; he thought that she didn't even care whether he'll be late or whatever. This is really unusual.
Yusuke had his shower, then he got his uniform and dressed up. Another surprise came up to him. "My breakfast? Ready?" confused, he sat down at his chair, a table with three chairs. He wasn't surprised with the outcome of his mom's cooking. BLACK fried egg and BLACK sausages. His mom doesn't know that much about cooking and that made an excuse. "tsk tsk tsk... I better give my mom a cook book." He murmured as picked up his fork and eat even just one sausage. "Miraculously, how nice of you to eat even just one sausage son," as she prepared a bottle of ice cold water, lifting one of her eyebrows. "Thanks mom, I needed that," he said as he held his breath while putting the whole sausage in his mouth. Atsuko poured water in a glass, then Yusuke snatched it off, had his toothbrush, and sped off out of their house. Atsuko blew her long bangs as she watched her son.
Yusuke stopped running and walked instead, as he stopped by a cherry blossom tree. "Konnichiwa Yusuke-kun, you're unusually early today," a soft voice called his attention. "Ah, Keiko-chan, did you cook some ramen for me today?" he returned the greetings with a wide grin. "uh... not really," the soft voice turned to a monstrous one. "You expect me to cook for you just like that?! I better get going now, I'm going to be late," as she walked at the opposite of Yusuke. "I'll just go with you, then I'll go to my school," he offered. "Ok. Then." As they walk through the streets of Tokyo, Keiko wondered, "Yusuke, why are you early today, that's very unusual, I'm just curious... isn't Atsuko-san drunk last night?" "It's very unusual indeed, mom was the one who woke me up this morning, and she seems really strange," he answered in a low voice, full of curiosity. "Oh, Yusuke-kun, thanks for coming with me, I think we better talk about it later," she bid goodbye as the calm wind blew her long brown hair, and Yusuke sped off to his school.
Everything was just the same. He and Kuwabara went to the same school; fights and arguments can never be avoided between the two of them. Of course, they were sent out of the class again by their teacher, and were assigned to clean the classroom. "Kazuma... DO' AHOU!!!!!!! You're the cause of all of this stupidity you idiot!" Yusuke blurted out. "Hehe... Imbecile! I'm not YOU ARE!!!" he shouted back with a wide grin, and the two had their never-ending arguments again and again. "I'm tired... this is all your fault Kuwabara Kazuma!" "Nah... this YOUR FAULT URAMESHI YUSUKE!" spitted out the orange-head. It's already 7 o'clock in the evening. And the two kept arguing, then they stopped, and "BWAHAHAHAH..." they laughed out loud like those of mental hospital patients. "Seems you are having fun ne, Yusuke- kun, Kazuma-kun?" a calm voice interrupted the boisterous laughter. The two turned around and recognized the familiar redhead in the dark behind them. "SHUUICHI-kun!!!!" cried the duo in unison. "Or should we call 'Kurama- kun'," added Yusuke. "Long time no see guys, how are you both doing?" asked the redhead. "The old days, isn't it Yusuke? I missed this so much after all the battles." Kuwabara confessed. "hm... Kazuma, it seems just not like you heheh..." Yusuke said in a wide smile. "How about you Kurama-kun?" "Oh well, not much, Meiou High does give me good challenges, it's my last year in High School, I remember our Junior High School Days..." "Yeah..." Kazuma added.
"Um.. guys, it's getting late, I should go home now," Kurama bid seeing them next time and went straight to his house. "Such a nice guy isn't he Yusuke?" Kuwabara commented. "Of course he is. Anyway, let's go now, I better check out my mom," Yusuke said with a hurry. "Why are you such in a hurry? Is there something wrong with Atsuko-san? Is she drunk again?" Kuwabara asked curiously. "Not really, there's just something different with her, that's all. See ya tomorrow!" and he went off, leaving Kuwabara in front of their house, and of course, his elder sister Shizuru welcomed him with another blast of her fists.
"Mom, I'm home!" Yusuke shouted as he entered their house. "Why are you late again?" blasted out Atsuko, with her killer eye stare. "Oh well..." he reasoned and told her the whole story. After a few moments, a cermon was again conducted... "How many times should I tell you not to pick up fights with Kuwabara?! You better do well in your studies... or else..." "RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!" the talk was cut off by the loud ring of the phone. Atsuko hurried off to answer the phone while Yusuke went to his chair to eat dinner, good thing, his mom just bought it from a store, and saw a cookbook at the kitchen. "Konbanwa! Hello? Yes, this is Atsuko, what can I do for you? OH!!!!!!" Yusuke turned to see his mother's reaction. "Mother, yes... Oh, Nonaka, hi there. That's good. Ok. I'll see you on Saturday. Ok. Have a nice trip. Goodbye!" Atsuko put down the phone and made a wide smile. "Ok sweetie, time to have some supper, dear," she said happily as she sat down to eat. "Who was it mom? Is it Aunt Nonaka? A long distance call?" "Oh yes, it's your Aunt Nonaka from Kyushu. Your grandmother also talked to me. Oh by the way sweetie, I have a surprise for you this coming Saturday." Her voice was filled with excitement. "ok, I know, Aunt Nonaka is coming here in Tokyo, yeah, that's not a surprise anymore..." his voice was more of a croak. "Not only that..." This made Yusuke stare at his mom for a long time, never was he this curious in his life, especially when surprises are from his mom, whom he least expect.
A nice Monday is almost over, and Yusuke picked up the phone to call Keiko. "Hullo? Konbanwa Yukimura-san, may I talk with Keiko? OK." "Yusuke-kun, Konbanwa," greeted the soft voice. "Konbanwa Keiko-chan, how is your day?" answered the dark haired. "It's really nice, I got promoted to............" and she told her boyfriend a lot of things, until she finally noticed his freaky silence. "Why are you so quiet Yusuke-kun? Is there something wrong? It makes my skin chill knowing such a loud brat like you knows how to be quiet... tell me," her concerned voice made Yusuke go back to the discussion. "Remember what I told you earlier Keiko-chan?" answered the silent one. "Uhuh, about Atsuko-san ne? what happened? Anything unusual again?" this voice of hers made Yusuke feel care of his loved one. "It is really unexpected of her to give surprises, I was just stunned thinking of it. It will come on Saturday, with Aunt Nonaka, my aunt from Kyushu... It's really... well just surprising to have any surprise coming from the one you least expect, and... it was two nights since she had been drunk... she stopped drinking?!" Yusuke spoke in a voice different from any other tone Keiko heard, but she realized that he doubted and he eagerly wanted to know much about it. "Oh, is that so? Yusuke-kun, you need not worry, I'm sure your mom's surprise is a very special one. Never doubt about anything." Keiko's soft voice soothed Yusuke and made him feel better. "Thanks so much Keiko- chan, aishiteru," Yusuke said lovingly. Keiko blushed, "Aishiteru, Yusuke- kun, have to sleep now, got to wake up early, Oyasumi Nasai..." then she kissed Yusuke good night through the phone. Yusuke breathed deep, and went to sleep. Then the door opened, "Ah, Yusuke, have a good night's sleep, you better wake up early tomorrow ok? Oyasumi Nasai.." his mother's concerned face made him worry again, but he immediately fell into sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Here come again the loud cries... "YUSSSSUUUUUUKKKKKEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!" of course, who else? Atsuko. Yusuke rose up from his bed, "I better obey mom, and besides, I believe what she is doing is fine, it's better for her," he thought. But this second day, a Tuesday is better than yesterday, after his bath and dress-up, he smelled, "AT LAST!!! THE REAL SMELL OF EGG AND SAUSAGE, WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!" And he immediately sat down to eat. "I got a lot of good tips from this cookbook, son," Atsuko told her son as she showed her recipe book, a very thick one, the one Yusuke saw at the kitchen the previous day. "Good for you mom," he commented with a nice smile. Then he went off to school.
The day, was like the other ones, fighting with Kuwabara, sometimes seeing Kurama near the train station, then being slapped by Keiko because of some arguments. "I missed those slaps, they are better than Yomi's punches now... heheh," he thought with a chuckle. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday passed, Atsuko's cooking makes a big improvement, and he became very excited to what will happen the next day.
