"You want to escape the confusion
That you see be
fore you.
I tell you, you will never be able
To escape the outer con
fusion
Unless and until
You have escaped the inner con
fusion.
And the inner con
fusion
Is your continuous doubt-indulgence."

~Sri Chinmoy, Poems about Confusion

The ride to the new house should have been fairly quick, with mindless chatter involved.

To bad we got lost.

"Yusuke! I thought you said you knew your way around the city!" I whined punching the object of my attention in the arm.

"Hey! No hitting the driver! And I know my way around here better than you do!"

"What ever! I know Tokyo's shopping district like the back of my hand!"

"This ain't Tokyo!"

"Both of you stop your squabbling! You're giving me a headache." Tobi ordered and instantly, rubbing her temple lightly and shooting me a playful glare that no one else seemed to notice in the awkward silence.

Luckily the mindless chatter followed.

Apparently much hadn't changed in the last in the last seventeen years.

Yusuke was still teasing the hell out of Keiko but now tried to label it as 'dating' or more recently 'engagement', I still did a few small editorial gigs, Yusuke still got into fights, and I devoted the majority of my spare time into playing. The only thing that wasn't mindless was all the pressure. I could feel the energy being suppressed in the car and judging from the scowl on Tobi's face, I was safe to assume it wasn't all hers. Who all was a demon?

Not the orange one… Kuwabara was it? I'm going to guess Shuichi, after all Yusuke did hesitate on calling him that. Maybe he just has a story behind his nick-name and doesn't like it or doesn't want other people to know about it. But defiantly the short one, he's holding on to the seat like a man on a prayer. I frowned resting my head on the window, inwardly scolding myself at my own thoughts. Who was I to judge my cousins friends? They seemed alright to me, and if they had earned Yusuke's stamp of approval they had to have some type of redeeming quality… demon or not. I could feel Konzatsu's agreement float threw my thoughts, trying to calm and put my fears at ease, and also to remind me that I was having an adventure. After all, what was an adventure if you always played it safe?

But I could always count on Yusuke to be normal, the anchored ship in my storm of chaos. Human enough for the both of us to bring me out of my hellion thoughts and worries about Konzatsu. But how does he know so many demons? Maybe I should ask Tobi…I hummed as I mulled over my thoughts.

"So what made you wanna know more about 'Konzatsu'?" Yusuke asked looking at me in the rear view mirror. "Mostly the flashbacks, it'd kind of help to know what I am. Or at least who I am." I sighed. It's not like I have a choice anymore, sometimes I'd like to pretend you don't exist… no offence. I spoke internally to Konzatsu then flinching as I felt her annoyance and understanding flood my mind, over taking most of my rational thinking.

"Jimmy? Jim? Hell-o, are you listening?" Yusuke spoke, waving a hand in front of my face as we came to a red light.

"Yeah, wait, what?" I mumbled, running a hand over my face.

"I was agreeing with you, than asked how often they happen."

"Oh," I looked out the window in embarrassment. "She talks to me a lot, well not really talking, just sort of pressing her emotions on me. But the memories, I don't know. They don't really seem to have a pattern. Sometimes they can be triggered by the strangest things. Like one time I was making dinner for Akio and I had a flash, and another time I was doing a cross country meet. I kind of noticed that I'm doing the same thing, the same activity or the same setting, in the flashback verses the current."

"So basiclly it's random and you're trying to rationalize it."

"Nu-uh!"

"Uh-hum!"

"Yusuke if you take a left off of this ramp it'll only take thirty minutes to get to the subdivision."

"You always have to play peacemaker don' chya Shuichi?" Yusuke pouted, lazily swerving into the other lane with out a glance into his mirrors.

"Oh yay! Thirty minutes, just enough time for a nap!" I rejoiced with a smile, leaning back on to the car door and closing my eyes.

"Jennifer, we are here." Shuichi spoke, bringing me out of my snore-fest.

"Oh, well thank you. And it's Jimmy… or Jim. I don't go by Jennifer much." I smiled rubbing my eyes and yawning before opening my door and sliding out of the car. I watched the breeze float through the bushes as a made my way off the concrete. But as soon as my feet touched the grass a light flashed in my mind. "Tob-" was all I managed to choke out before I was swallowed in darkness.

I was standing on a lush forest floor, my feet covered in dainty sandals as peasants dress flowed over the grass. I glanced over my shoulder and a man was standing with a thick gown in his hand, his large feather tipped ears twitched as the wind fluttered lazily amongst the trees. I laughed before reaching down with my long clawed hands and undoing my sandal straps, leaving me barefoot. "I suppose it would look strange if I had shoes wouldn't it?" My voice asked the man, though the voice was not entirely mine. "Maybe, it wouldn't be entirely uncommon. It's just not very probable or likely." His gruff tenor voice chirped his eyes glancing in every direction as a small teal haired girl danced behind him. She swayed peacefully as the breeze flared up again.

Then, as if she had just noticed me, she ran at a break neck speed into my awaiting arms. If this was my human self I'd be toppled over, but the girl fit easily into my arms like this was something we did often or had a lot of practice doing.

"- when are you coming back?" she asked me, her silver eyes reflected annoyance, interest, and longing to go on what ever adventure I was going on. Why can't I hear my own name? "I don't know Seikou, when ever I feel the need I guess." I laughed again. Seikou tugged at my long purple locks and looked at me in the eyes again. I wonder what my eyes look like. Why is my hair purple? "Will you miss me?" Seikou asked her little hands pressed on my chest where my heart beat and then pressed my hand to her own heart beat. "Only everyday little one, but I'll have to come back eventually so I can tell you all my bedtime stories and adventures." I smiled brushing my face in her hair, holding her like she was my child. I wonder if she is my child. "It's a deal then."

A small charge of electricity down my spine brought me out of the memory gasping for air. "What in holy hell happened?" Tobi asked gripping my face in her gloved hands as sweat seeped into the cloth.

"I think I ran away."
