Yusuke POV

I wake up to the sound of 2 people arguing. They sounded distant, but close enough that I could still make out what they were saying. I groan, opening my eyes and looking around the dim room. Suddenly, I remembered, I'm in Kurama's apartment. He found me when I collapsed outside the park.

I sit up, only to fall back down again, feeling dizzy. Nothing works anymore. I think to myself, pouting from my laid down position.

"Hehehe." I turn my head, causing the room to turn lazily. I squint in the darkness of the corner. "It's me, you fool."

"Hiei?" I mumble, my voice scratchy and low. "What are you doing here?"

"That's none of your concern." He said quickly. He climbed down from the window sill and walked over to me. "What are you doing here, Yusuke?"

"Well I-"

Suddenly the door opens, and Keiko comes in, Kurama on her heels. "Yusuke!" She says, walking over to me. I open my mouth to explain, but she puts a finger to my lips. "Save it. I don't want your excuses, why did you leave your house?! Your mother is going to be worried sick!

~Meanwhile with Atsuko~

She opens her eyes and sits up, looking around the room. "Yusuke?" She called, looking around. When there is no response, she shrugs before grabbing a discarded bottle of alcohol and the phone. She dials Keiko's cell phone number and sits back, waiting for her to answer. Finally, Keiko answers the phone, sounding relieved Atsuko cares.

(Keiko/Atsuko)

"Hi, Atsuko."

"Keiko, where is Yusuke?! I woke up and he was gone!"

"Don't worry, he's here with me. We are at a friends house."

"A FRIENDS HOUSE?!"

When Kurama hears Yusukes mom, he quickly grabs the phone from Keiko.

(Kurama)

"Hello Miss Urameshi, this is Shuichi. I found Yusuke in the park in terrible condition, so I brought him back to my apartment. He's fine here, I am going to be graduating from Sunisa Medical Academy in 2 weeks, so I will be able to take care of your son until he gets better."

"Can't you at least bring him home?"

"In his condition, it would be very unwise to move him. When he gets better, I'll bring him home."

"Okay, thank you, Shuichi."

"Take care."

(Hangs/up)

"Was that true?" Keiko asks raising an eyebrow at him, suspiciously.

"Not even close." He says with a small chuckle. "I had to make an excuse for her to let her extremely sick son to stay at a friends house. Plus it also explains my medical expertise."

Keiko slowly nods, understanding the concept of his lie. She turns to Yusuke, worried about him as he lay on the bed, coughing and sneezing. "What about Yusuke?" She asks, her big brown eyes wide with fear for her boyfriend. "How do we help him?

"Well I-" Kurama gets interrupted by Yusuke sudden coughing fit, causing his head to pop off the pillow.

Suddenly, an idea comes to Keiko and she gets up. "I'll go and make him some soup, and see if you have any medicine."

Kurama nods, standing up. "That sounds like a great idea. I'll stay here and trying to figure out what is wrong with him."

"Please take care of him." Keiko said, fear on her face.

"I will Keiko." Kurama says, patting her on the shoulder.

~A.N Hello humans! So let me explain a couple of things. I decided for Atsuko to be caring about Yusuke even though some authors try to make her abusive or uncaring. I just felt like she was never cruel to him in the show, so i thought it was perfect.

If you were wondering about Kurama's mom, don't worry, SHE IS STILL ALIVE. I've decided that I'm going to start the story after he moved out of his mom's house.

There we go! I hope you guys loved this chapter and I'm so sorry that I haven't updated this story as often.

Love you all!
