"Eat something!"

-"No!"

"Just anything, you give me the creeps when you're hungry!"

-"I said no!"

"Look Pocky's ain't made of humans, just try it!

-"How many times do I have to tell you? It's of no use and won't make it any better for me, so stop it already, boy!"

Yusuke gave a frustrated growl, answered by a low chuckle from the yokai lounging on his bed, one elbow propped up and with the same, craving, predatory smile on his face like the first time they met. He'd spent the last hours to convince him to at least eat normal human food, but more than a cup of tea, or some water, he just declined and it was getting more and more on his nerves.

"You're stubborn, why can't you just switch to human food, until you decided to eat humans again?"

-"Heh, you really ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer. As I told you. I can eat as much as you want me to, it won't stop the hunger for human flesh and it would only make it harder to withstand my hunger."

He was about to say something when the door was opened and he heard his mother's voice.

"Yu-Chan, are you at home? I bought you some lunch!"

"..." She was in the living room already, just another step and she will be in his room.

"What'cha starin' at, stupid old man? Hide yourself!" But the demon lord didn't even bother to move as the door opened.

"Huh? Did you say something? I thought you'd have guests!" He stared blankly at her and then over his shoulder to his ancestor, but nothing seemed to irritate Atsuko. Raizen did not move or say anything. His solemn eyes resting over her ever so peaceful, while Atsuko wasn't even aware of her son's strange visitor. She put a bag with a bento on his desk and smiled.

"Are you learning right now? I didn't mean to disturb you, so don't forget your lunch, I'm out tonight!"

-"Uhm...you're out again?" That was convenient, he thought. Better grab his ancestral father and drop him somewhere safe, before things got out of hand. He didn't want to imagine what happened when his ma found out.

"Yeah I'm away tonight, anything bothering you?" Her voice changed dangerously as she frowned at her son.

"Ya...no, no, that's okay, have fun ma and uhm...don't bother coming back late, I might go out, too!"

"Aw, really? You're going on a date then?"

"Well...sort of!" He needed to find a place for Raizen to stay. Somewhere far away from his home, where no one could find him, or even bother going...

"See ya, Yu-Chan!"

The door fell shut again and left a quite puzzled Yusuke and a mildly amused Raizen, who chuckled softly.

"She can't see me, as long as I do not wish to be seen. Remember? Normal humans miss this ability!"

Yusuke nodded and in the next instant, he quickly reached out, determined to punch the old demon lord, but failed miserably, as Raizen disappeared, faster than his eyes could even react. Claws sharp as razors dug lightly into his shoulder and he felt the demons breathing next to his ear.

"You're still too slow, my son..." He whispered and again, there was this mocking chuckle, that made his skin crawl. The last time, Raizen did this, was the day he died and that was when he bit his so called son. Yusuke gulped.

"Don't you worry. This time, everything changed and going out sounds good to me. I was about to go, find her by myself, but you could help me!"

He tried to grab the demon, but again he vanished and in an instant, lay sprawled out on his bed again.

"Train harder, until you're able to even just scratch me and I might think about going into full training with you!"

"Heh, I'm gonna beat the shit out of you, but not here in my ma's house."

The demon king arched a brow, grinning at his son.

-"So, what are you gonna do?"

"Take you somewhere safe. I know the perfect place for you to stay and for me to train, train a lot that is!" He grabbed his jacket and smiled.

"Wow, I really hope for you that Ba-san won't mind!"

"Huh? Ba-san?"

-"Yeah, my former sensei and a good friend of mine and Koenma!"

Several hours later.

The old woman was enjoying her ginseng tea, taking a long drag from her cigarette, as she and the rest of the gang watched Yusuke slamming against the nearby wall for the sixth time in about an hour and still peeling himself from it to attack his ancestor again and again.

"I told you to get out of your diapers first and then come after me, stupid boy!" A punch but Raizen did not even flinch, as he caught the younger man's fist and squeezed.

"Oowww...just shut up ya old idiot and fight seriously!" And again, he greeted the wall face first.

"Stop it already, it's boring!" He stepped closer to his son and laughed. Yusuke wheezed and spit out some blood, still trying to get back on his feet. He shook himself off and growled as his reiki level suddenly climbed up with enormous speed and he pointed his finger at Raizen.

"And I told you to shut up!" The Rei Gun covered the whole area with bluish light, but amidst its blast, a green aura could be seen and Yusuke went flying again.

"Baka..." Genkai sighed.

"Oi Raizen-san, how long do you plan on doing this? You're wrecking my garden!" Genkai took a sip of her tea and stood up, walking past the doors of her Dojo, to look where Yusuke landed.

"Just long enough until my son finally understands the meaning of "beeing superior" and "total disadvantage" and until then, it doesn't hurt to knock some sense into his numbskull!

The demon king was enjoying himself too much, for Yusuke's taste. That old bastard was way too strong for him and he knew it, but damn, he was no weakling either! He charged the white haired demon once again, watching him avoiding his effortless attacks, as if it was some kind of dance for him, with what seemed like no labor at all.

"Take it seriously, damn you!" His fist began to glow reddish and dark marks began to surface on his skin, as the younger yokai started his attack. He growled menacingly, his eyes turning red and his yoki bursting into a trail of energy, as he leaped forward, landing a hard punch into Raizen's belly. He slithered a few steps, but caught himself, without stumbling. A coarse laugh, as he brushed his hair behind his shoulders

"Oh, now you sure get to carried away, boy! Time to put an end to this!"

"An end? You must've been kidding because this time I will definitely...yaaaa!"

He was about to babble forth, but that was the point where Raizen decided, that it was better when he just quit goofing around. His aura blazed up and just before his son could even come into reach for another punch, he blasted him away in a heavy exposure of his own yoki, showing his all to eager son, what true power meant.

"If you can still walk, come over here and try again. But your puny results will always be the same, so don't bother and stop bitching, you start to piss me off!" He walked away, behind him, a trail of mud and debris and somewhere near the woods, Yusuke began to get back on his feet, stumbling behind Raizen and growling under his breath, as he reluctantly planted himself on the floorboard of the dojo. The demon king was already there, sitting next to Genkai and watched him with amusement.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that, try again tomorrow, yes?" He reached out his hand to ruffle the boy's hair.

"Fuck you!" Yusuke turned his head quickly to not just avoid his hand but to bite him as well.

"Argh...vicious kid! But I like that!" A hearty laugh was heard, joined by Genkai and Kurama while Kuwabara was still skeptical about Yusuke's new family.

"Wow, it's like having to Yusuke's...just that one can really chew off my ass..." He whispered to the Youko, who could not repress a smile.

"So, you don't plan on returning to makai? Wouldn't it go against the law of the Spirit World as well as the new rules of Makai?" Kurama asked and refilled Genkais teacup while he poured some tea for Raizen as well.

"Heh, it's not like I even care. Enki made an exception for me, restricted in a months time and what the spirit world is going to do about me..." He grinned and stared at his beaten up son.

"If they even wet themselves thinking of fighting Yusuke, imagine, what they think of going against me?"

Kurama smiled.

"So what are you going to do now? Even with your powers, it will be hard to find someone, who might be nothing more than just a normal person. There are a lot of people out there and she might even not be in this country at all."

Yusuke nodded while tending to his wounds and hissing. His old man sure had some good tricks up his sleeve...

"That's what I told him earlier...you can't just run around, looking for her without even knowing how she looks like!"

"Uhm...well, I never considered these things!" He laughed rather carelessly and somehow, he now looked just like Yusuke as he put a hand on his head, trying to imagine his next moves. The rest watched the two Yokai and exchanged amused looks. Well, like father, like son...

"Heh, so that's where it comes from..." Genkai smirked, looking at Yusuke while Kurama chuckled.

"Well, it can't be helped, now that you're here, chances are high that maybe, some kind of coincidence might help us. Let's keep our eyes and senses opened." They nodded in silence until the old lady stood up and pushed der cigarette off.

"Stay here, as long as you want, I don't care either. And if you want to train your dimwitted offspring, do, as you like, it's about time for him to finally get stronger!"

"Tch...bet he can do much better! As long as I don't have anything better to do that is!"

None of the two knew, where this would take them, but Yusuke grinned almost devilishly and now, that Raizen was back, he was even more spurred to improve his abilities.

"I'll make you choke on your words, old man!"
