Chapter One
Zaku sat in his small Maryland home, waiting for his best friend to call. She normally called after Seven PM; it was currently 7:40 PM.
"HANA!!!!!!!" He whined in boredom. His older sister sighed and walked in.
"Why don't you call her for a change?" She asked.
"… Cause she's away on some trip…" Zaku pouted, "She promised to call…"
"Yeah, well. We're leaving soon so don't whine to yourself again. The first sign of insanity is talking to yourself." His sister said, leaving.
"That was totally mean Nee-chan!" He shouted after her. Soon, his baby brother walked in.
"Zaku, remember to feed Kilala! And change her cage!" He said.
"I know bro, feed, water and change the rat's cage! I got it!" Zaku saluted poorly. His brother glared.
"She's not a rat! She's a hamster!"
"Blah blah, rat, blah blah." Zaku said, "That's what I heard."
"Nii-chan!" His brother whined.
"Alright alright! I'm sorry bro." Zaku sighed. His brother smiled evilly and left the room.
"I swear to any god out there… That brat is evil!" He growled to nobody. He paused, remembering his older sister's words. "So not cool…" He twitched. Soon, his parents came in.
"Be have Zaku, your aunt will be checking in on you everyday and your cousins are dropping by in a few days to make sure you haven't died." His mother said.
"Kay Mom."
"Now, no girls in the house." His father said.
"Dad! Not cool!" Zaku joked, grinning.
"Bye Zaku!" His parents left and he heard the door open.
"BE CAREFUL!" He shouted to them. "LOVE YOU!" He sighed and waited and waited for Hana's call. He twirled and twirled in the chair, bored. He sighed and turned on some TV. He popped in his second favorite show, Yu Yu Hakusho. As he skipped forward to the dark tournament, he drooled over his favorite characters, Touya and Jin. Okay, so he was bit weird when it came to Anime guys. In his opinion, he'd choose those two over every girl and boy in his entire COUNTRY! Okay, scratch that, entire WORLD!
"So… hott…" He wiped the drool off his chin as he stared at the TV. He heard the storm coming and sighed. He shut all electronics off, got Kilala's cage and he sat in the living room in darkness, slightly bored and slightly frightened.
"WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK!!!!" He cried out. His wolf ears twitched from under his hat and he sighed. He took said hat off. Yes, he was a demon. Well, half demon. He had been adopted into this family. Suddenly, lightning struck and thunder rolled, hurting his ears.
"Owie…" He sniffled. And he was a biiiiiig crybaby… And scaredy cat… He saw a flash of light from outside, but it was no lightning. He heard muttering thanks to his sharp hearing. He placed his hat on and put on his black Tokio Hotel Jacket as he ran outside. He paused as he heard talking.
"Yusuke, we must find shelter from this storm."
'Holy shit no way!' Zaku thought in shock.
"I know Kurama, but who would help us?!"
'ME! I WOULD!'
"Who's out there?" He froze at Hiei's words.
"Oh shit… Caught…" He trudged over, making sure his tail was covered and his hat firmly in place.
"Who are you?" Hiei demanded.
"I am Zaku… Umm… Which last name do you want? Adopted or surname?" He asked, laughing nervously.
"Both." Yusuke demanded.
"My adopted name is Brown. My real last name is Makiguchi." Zaku said.
"Mr. Makiguchi, it seems we-…"
"Come from a different dimension? I sure as hell know that! And don't call me Mr! It makes me feel like an old dude… Well, sorta since I am a bit old…" Zaku said.
"Touya, he is one crazy kid." He heard Jin's Irish accent whisper and tried not to squeal.
"I know Jin, but you need to be polite!" Touya's voice hissed back.
"Ummm… Ya'll can stay with me! My folks and siblings are away right now and I totally have some room!" Zaku said.
"Kid, we aren't normal." Hiei snorted.
"You think I am?" Zaku removed his hat as he revealed his ears and tail.
"I knew I smelled a Hanyou somewhere…" Kurama frowned.
"I'm the only one my dimension knows of though. I'm quite famous for it too." Zaku said.
"Liar." Hiei snorted.
"STOP WITH READING MY DAMNED THOUGHTS HIEI!" Zaku shouted before slamming his hands on his mouth, eyes widening.
"How do you know his name?" Yusuke asked.
"I know all of your names…" Zaku said, "Come with me and you'll find out why…" They discussed quietly, but he could hear anyways. Not that it mattered though.
"Alright, we'll go." Yusuke said.
"Cool. My sister would flip if she knew what she just missed out on…" Zaku led them back to his home.
"Whoa… Small place much?" Kuwabara asked.
"Eh, we're a bit tight on money…" Zaku sighed, "I've been applying for after school jobs, but it hasn't been going so well…"
"Demon traits forcing you jobless?" Touya asked.
"Yep. It's a pain in the tail, but atleast I don't have to worry about not getting my homework done… By the way, school is Monday through Friday and today is Friday night so we got two days and three nights to get you settled before you can be left alone." Zaku said as he entered his home.
"Who's this?" Jin pointed to a picture of his grandmother. Zaku's face softened.
"That's my grandmother… Not biologically, but she's my grandmother no less…" He said.
"Something happened to her…" Touya frowned.
"Yeah… She died about three years ago…" Zaku said, "She was the only one I could trust in this family… Besides my aunt I mean…"
"I'm sorry…" Touya said.
"Not your fault… She was old and there was nothing we could do…" Zaku took a breath and took his brother's cage.
"What's that?" Rinku asked.
"This is Kilala, my annoying little evil brother's pet evil hamster. None of you can kill her, even though I may want you to, don't. My brother would throw a hissy fit and I'd get grounded." Zaku took the hamster to his brother's room and put it in there.
"Zaku-kun, what are the sleeping arrangements going to be?" Kurama asked.
"I'll sleep in my brother's room cause the hamster is noisy. Two can fit on the couch since it's a recliner, two on my bed and two in my parents' bed and I'm guessing Hiei would like a tree?" Zaku asked.
"Hn. Yes." Hiei said.
"Well there's a nice willow tree out back. For bad weather you can stay in my sister's room." Zaku said.
"Very well." Kurama nodded. Zaku then gave them a tour around the house as Kilala started running on her squeaky wheel.
"I guess that's why you said you'd take your brother's room…" The demons' right eyes twitched.
"Mmhmm…" Zaku's ears twitched as he sighed. "Here's the bathroom, I'm pretty sure all of you know how to use everything in there, yes?"
"Jin and Touya don't." Kurama said.
"Lucky me…" Zaku sighed. "Come on, I'll show ya!" The two demons followed the Hanyou as Zaku showed them the basics. He felt eyes on his butt, but he thought he was imagining things.
"There's this annoying ringing noise coming from your room." Hiei growled.
"Ah! Hana's calling!?" He rushed to his room, answering the phone.
"Hallo?" He asked.
"Hey Zaku! Sorry I'm late in that call!"
"No problemo…" He said, motioning for the demons to be quiet.
"How's it going?" She asked him.
"It's going… pretty interesting…" Zaku said.
"Watching Yu Yu Hakusho?" She asked.
"So many hott demons…" Zaku sighed, meaning in person as well as on the screen.
"Ha! Zaku you're just as weird as ever!"
"You don't know how weird it has just gotten." He said.
"Hey, I'm returning tomorrow! Want me to come by?" Hana asked.
"Can't! Parents said no girls!" He said quickly.
"But I want to see you!"
"You'll see me Monday at school." He said quickly again, panicking.
"But Zaku!"
"Gotta go! Sorry! Bye!" He hung up. "Oh dear god that was close!"
"Pervert." Hiei said, making Zaku's blush considerably.
"N-Nandeo?!" He exclaimed.
"I meant Jin, but now I know you're just as much of a perv as he is." Hiei smirked.
"HIEI STOP IT!!!!!" Zaku shrieked. Loud. Like a girl.
"Don't ever do that again." Kurama said.
"Sorry…" Zaku sweatdropped. When he left his room, he saw everybody was watching the show he left on since the power came back on.
"Oh shit…"
"So this is why you know us…?" Rinku asked.
"… Yes…" Zaku sighed.
"Dude, these are a lot of episodes… Have you been watching this since before we got here?" Yusuke asked.
"Uhh… No…"
"So you skipped to Jin and Touya's fights?" Kuwabara asked, snickering.
"NO!" Zaku said really fast and defensively. Yusuke laughed.
"Do we really look like that?" Jin asked.
"No…" Zaku said. 'You guys are way hotter than anything the TV replicates…'
"Really?" Touya asked.
"You guys look way cooler in person." Zaku said.
"Cool." Jin, Yusuke and Kuwabara grinned as Kurama smiled.
"You just don't want us to kill you."
"I really mean it! You guys are way cool!" Zaku said. "You killing me didn't even cross my mind actually…"
"He's telling the truth. He didn't think of that possibility." Hiei said.
"Please stop doing that…" Zaku sighed.
"Well, I believe we should all go to bed then." Kurama said, "I am sure you would like to get some rest after your adventure tonight."
"Uh, sure. Did you guys pick out where you're sleeping?" Zaku asked.
"I am taking your parents' room, Yusuke and Kuwabara have the couch and Jin and Touya have your room. Is that alright?" Kurama asked.
"Um, Zaku-kun… I'm used to having someone hold me while I sleep… Could I sleep in the room with you?" Rinku asked.
"Aw, sure Rinku. You guys can help yourselves to any food in the cupboard." He said, " I'm Just going to get some change of clothes." They nodded as Zaku got his clothes and went to the bathroom to get changed and to do his nightly routine. When he came out, the others' jaws dropped.
"Nani?" He asked. He was in thin boxer shorts and a thin white muscle shirt.
"Dude, you've got some muscles on you! Nice ones too!" Yusuke said. Zaku blinked. He had an average built for demons, but it was strong for half demons.
"Eh? My cousin Ryan and I used to work out in his basement, I also took Tai Kwon Do for a quarter last year." Zaku replied, "It's pretty bad though. I only got my white belt before I dropped the classes."
"Do you and your cousin still work out together?" Rinku asked.
"Naw… He's got a job and we haven't been able to see each other for a while." Zaku said, yawning. After a while, everybody got situated and Zaku fell into a peaceful sleep with Rinku snuggled up to him.
