Chapter Two

Yusuke comes home to find that his daughter is once again missing but before he goes out to find her Keiko calls him into the kitchen. Keiko is sitting at the table in the kitchen and asks Yusuke to join her and Yusuke gets worried so he does as he is told.

"Yusuke I want you to stay calm for now. I allowed Kerri to go and meet with Kuwabara-kun so she could get some answers. I think it's time for her to know why you're so protective of her and why you don't want her fighting like you did when you were her age." Yusuke starts to respond when Keiko holds up her hand. "You have been avoiding telling her the truth and she needs to know since it affects her and her future. You know that you can't be the spirit detective forever since you are constantly going between the three worlds on a monthly basis and she doesn't understand why. I knew that if I tried to stop her that she would run off behind our backs so I let her go. Plus Kuwabara-kun will be able to protect her no matter what so don't worry, Kerri will come back here when she learns what she needs to learn."

"Fine but I don't like this Keiko. You know how I feel about dragging our kids into this world that I live in."

"That's fine but she does have spiritual powers like you do so you need to let her learn or she will be in even more danger." Yusuke nods his head and heads outside to blow off some steam.

Of all the crazy insane why am I letting my youngest child run off all on her own. Granted she can take care of herself but still! Yusuke thinks as he goes underground to a small ring underneath their garage. He walks to the center of the ring and could feel himself dropping to the other realm while staying at home.

"Mom I'm home" Raizen called shortly after his father vanished underneath the house and Keiko just smiles at her son. Raizen goes into the kitchen and finds his mom sitting there and he looks around. "I thought dad was supposed to be home right now."

"He went on a little trip to visit some old friends so he won't be home for a few hours but he is back." Raizen nods his head and leaves thinking nothing of what his mother has said. Thank god Rai is not like Kerri or Yusuke or else I would be in so much trouble. But I feel bad that he is also not that smart. Keiko thinks as she starts to work on their dinner.

Yusuke opens his eyes and sees Hiei meditating on the floor of the throne room. Hiei doesn't open his eyes but start talking to Yusuke, used to Yusuke popping in without warning or reason. "What is it this time Yusuke? You hate using that little portal I created for you."

"Kerri is figuring out what is going on with our group. Whom we really are and what we did when we were younger. I need help in telling her why we did what we did and why there was such a falling out when my children were born."

Hiei opens his eyes and looks at his former comrade for the first time in several months. "Well I can't and won't help you. You need to deal with you family issues yourself while I have the entire demonic realm at my disposal so unless you want total mayhem to come about I refuse to help you. Have you tried talking to Kurama? He probably would be more than happy to help you out in this case."

"He won't and he actually said something very similar to what you said minus the ruling of the demon world. Kurama thinks it would be good for me to recognize that my children need to know what danger they may be in even if they don't know to what degree." Hiei looks surprised that he and Kurama agreed upon something other than helping keep Yukina safe. "Yeah I know, I feel the same way you do since you guys don't have never agreed."

Hiei just stares at Yusuke and glares at him. Standing up, Hiei goes towards Yusuke then punches him across the face. When Yusuke gets back up Hiei points towards the door, "Leave before I throw you out" Yusuke thinks about the options momentarily then looks at Hiei and leaves without thinking twice. Once in the circle, he closes his eyes and comes back to the human world, leaves the basement and tries to calm down from the realization of having to deal with Kerri's coming knowledge of the supernatural world.
