How I survived being a husband 2
Hi there, the first chappy was pretty short, I know and the second will be weird, but just wait for the third…

"This is my apartment, like it or not you'll have to live here anyway…Sleep wherever you like, I don't have a problem." Yusuke said more to himself then to the blonde standing beside him.
"And you mom lives here with you?" She doubted seeing that the place looked more like a garbage box than a home.
"Yep, but she rarely comes home, mostly in the bars." He spoke in a disgusted voice.
"Some thing like mines, that's fine with me. So, which room should I get?" She asked glancing around the room.
"There are only 2. One is mines and one is mom's but she rarely sleep there so…get into hers." Yusuke said as he walked towards the kitchen on toes. (There wasn't any place to keep his feet)
"Where are you going?" She asked dropping her little bag, which was all she had brought.
"To check if there's something eatable." He with that he was gone.
She studied the room. It was dirty and congested. Nothing good about it but she could manage. Should she clean it? Nope. She had never cleaned a place in her life. Her room was something like this but a little better. And it isn't like she has to stay here forever so this would work fine with her. She checked every door; there were two bedrooms, like Yusuke told. She chose one and got in.

He stood at the threshold of his house. Trying to think of some excuse he'll need to tell his mother. Anyway he was too good in it now and could just make it up according to her questions so he rang the door bell.
Shiori opened the door. She smiled at her son and gave way to let him in.
"So, where have you been?" She asked.
He was a little shocked. No hugs no kisses? There must be something wrong. And what are these voices coming! Is construction going on in his house? Odd.
"What's happening mom, why this construction works?" He asked.
"Your one of the many aunties visited and told me that this house was wrongly built. Getting it right according to 'Vastu shastra.'" She said.
"Which aunty?" Kurama asked, this was all so weird.
"Oh, I don't remember the name. There are way too many and you don't change the subject. Where have you been?" She glared.
"And have Yusuke came back too?" Atsuko asked. She sat on the sofa cards in one hand.
Kurama just starred. 'What the hell is happening? What is Yusuke's mom doing here?' He thought.
"Suichi? You listening?" Shiori waved in front of his face.
"Y-Yes. What happening mom? What's Yusuke's mom doing here?" he asked.
"Oh, Atsuko. Nearly a week before she was worried her son has disappeared like always and came here to ask me if I knew his whereabouts and…" Shiori started but was cut off by Atsuko. "And she was worried about her own son. So the whole night we sat and discusses about our kids. And you mother is a very skilled gambler Suichi." She grinned.
"What, gambler?" Kurama shook his head, this was freaky. His mother spends whole week with Yusuke's mother. Oh, gods this is the reason in his mother's strange behavior.
"So? Where have you been?" She asked him stiffly getting back on the table to her game.
"I-I went with Yusuke and some other friend on…a friendly vacation and…that came out to be too long." He answered.
"Fine with me, why getting so shaky? Boys of your age should go out. You are too mature for your age, from now go and have fun, alright?" She laughed. "And I thought you went to a science club trip."
"I-I, you really fine mom?" he stood dumbfounded.
"Yeah baby I am totally fine. Now don't stay here ok, go and have some fun. I am Mrs. Urameshi will be going to a club meeting." She shoved him away.
As he moved upstairs avoiding the different tools spread everywhere and labors drilling the walls he heard Atsuko say, "Did you ever drink?" 'This is definitely weird. His happy days gone?' he wondered.

And like this everyone returned to their respective homes. (Cant explain all) Back to Yusuke's.

"I didn't find anything, gotta go to the market." Yusuke entered the main room. "Though I hate to go to the market where those stupid women are always there and… Elena? Where are you?"
"Here in the room." She called. "Wow, you've got a T.V.? never watched one in years! Which channel do you have cartoon network on?" She said excited.
"Hey, now, now! This one's my room. You go to the other one." He entered and stood on the door way.
"I like this one." She said changing channels.
"But this is mine."
"Go to the other."
"I never take orders."
"Me too. Behave good, am your guest."
"Get out."
"Try getting me."
"Woman…"
"Man…"
"Your not as good as you look from outside."
"You got me there."
"Shut up and leave."
"You do."
"Hate you!"
"Same from me."
"Arrrgh…" he stomped away in frustration. "Good, one more Keiko." Then said a little louder." I am going to the supper market to get some stuff. Leave the room or you're never getting dinner tonight."
"You wanna bet?" She smiled not taking her eyes off the T.V. Then told herself. "But I want to take revenge on Kurama, gotta plan now. But let's take a bath first. Oh, my I didn't have any clothes!! (Except the one she's wearing.)
00000000000000
Keiko changed into fresh clothing and stood in front of the mirror. "Now I am ready, let's go and check on Yusuke and Elena."
She moved away and moved towards the door and down the stairs. Waved a quick bye to her mom and stepped out. "The pollution here, I hate it. Makai's better." Then she spotted Yusuke getting out of the door and rushing out. 'Don't look to glad to me.' She thought.
"Hey Yusuke?" She went to him. "Where are you going? How's Elena doing?"
"Hn, I hate her! Is she some queen or something? Your fucking idea is getting on my nerves now…" He kept babbling.
"Yusuke…?" Keiko was too shocked.
He turned and held her hands between his. "Keiko do a favor. Make Kurama to take her wife's responsibility, I can't resist her." He said sober.
"What happened?"
"Oh, go and ask yourself." And with that he went away cursing.
0000000000000
He paced slowly to his bed. 'What the hell is happening? This is going out of my hands now! So many things together. Firstly that Elena and now my mother. She found Atsuko for a friend in the whole world, what wrong I did, Oh, Inari-sama help me out of this.
He lay down on the bed not even removing his slippers. "For now, I'll have to see that mother doesn't find out about Elena and will also have to try to get some sense in mom. For now I need rest, really I need it!"
000000000000000
Keiko made her way upstairs to her boyfriend's apartment. 'It was so odd for Yusuke to be that much pissed off. Elena must be scary.'
"Hey Elena where are you?" She walked into the rooms.
"Here I am, who's there?" the blonde's voice came from the room.
"Hi there. You fine? I saw Yusuke totally pissed off, what did he do?" Keiko came in smiling. She saw her wearing Yusuke's clothes. A faded jeans and a purple shirt but didn't bother asking.
"Nothing. Just that he wants his room back." She said her eyes lidded, slowly drifting to sleep.
"Keiko smiled. "So Ele, what are you going to do? I know you want to take your revenge on Kurama."
"Haven't thought yet."
"Oh, really? Elena, I was just saying that you and Kurama should become friends. What will you get after taking your revenge? See we all did it to save his life and I am really sorry if we hurt you in someway."
"Please Keiko; I don't wanna talk about this now." She said now fully awake.
"Please listen. See I know you don't like it here so you are free to go home. Believe me we won't tell anyone about this. Elena get serious…any step you take will affect Kurama's image he had formed in 16 yrs."
Elena suddenly got upset. She never thinks badly for somebody. Should she leave? No she promised her mom she'll take revenge. She can't. What should she do? Her head started pounding. Keiko's words seemed far away. She wanna go away! Away from them, all of them.
She got up and ran to the doors. Down the stairs.
She heard Keiko call from behind, several times but she won't stop. She ran on the streets, the winds felt cold on her face.
Back in front of the house Keiko stood there still calling. "Elena! Come back…" Oh gods what the hell have I done? Its night time. We'll never be able to find her. She doesn't even know anything about this city. I need to get help…

Liked it? I liked it. Took me three hours. My butt aches coz of the pain sitting in this seat!
Please review, it's important to know that people like it or not. This was a long one…!
Shiori was out of character… She's gonna be lots of help to me.
