Neko here although I doubt anyone else would be posting this if it wasn't me. Nyaaa! The anime is getting further ahead than where I am on the story. Oh well gonna give some jumps to keep up with it then. Er well a little bit since I gotta make up some stuff to fit into it while Yusuke is away at Genkai's and between the time that Yusuke defeats Hiei and gets the mission about Genkai.
Disclaimer: Last I check, I didn't own any rights to YYH. Only the four seasons on dvd. But I do own Autumn and Yoshi.
Chapter Four: It finally arrives at a single earth
After a few weeks, Autumn and Yoshi were back with her mom and brother's body in a nice apartment in a better neighborhood. Autumn closed her eyes as she laid on her bed in her own small room in the apartment with a small shiver as Yoshi laid curled up next to her feet. Her door was closed and her room was bare but then again she was in old clothes of Keiko as she had yet to go shopping. Sitting up she looked at the time before she stood up and opened her door as Yoshi followed after her as she made her way to the phone to call Shuichi's house. She didn't expect an answer but she needed to tell someone, pausing she heard voices in the room with her brother's body. She looked in to see the faint outlines of people in the room, one that looked and felt like her own brother. A small giggle came from her at the feeling she got about her brother suddenly being happy and figured it had something to do with being able to fight again.
A soft bark made her look into the room again to see a very faint glow around her brother that made her bite her lip wishing that it meant she would have her brother back soon. She looked at her mom and nodded as she said "Alright mom, I'll stay here and watch over him." She waved bye to her mom before she looked back at Yusuke to see Yoshi barking slightly at the air that she saw the outlines. Shaking her head she went on to the phone to call her friend and leaving a message of what happened to her old living place and where she now lived. She then headed back to her room to get ready for bed as it was so late and she needed sleep for school the next day.
Gasping she sat up from the dream she had of kissing her brother when he was golden and sighed softly as she ran a hand through her hair before she looked at the time. Getting up she went to get showered and dressed for the day in her school uniform before she grabbed her bag and headed for the door, opening it to see Keiko standing outside the door. She smiled slightly and said "Morning Keiko, lock up when you leave and don't let Yoshi out please." She then passed the older girl and headed to school planing on doing her shopping after school.
Keiko smiled at Autumn and replied "Good Morning Autumn, I will and alright." She entered the apartment and went to go check on Yusuke.
Autumn hummed softly as she thought about the dream before she wondered if Keiko had the same dream or not, since the two girls seemed to be on the same wavelength when it regarded Yusuke. Shaking her head when she stumbled slightly and put her hand to her head as she felt a wave of dizziness hit her and she paused while she closed her eyes. 'Breath, just breath.' She thought as she focused just on her breathing until the dizziness past. She started walking when the dizzy spell past, wondering why she had been having the dizzy spells for the past few weeks. Which now that she thought about it, it lined up with the time that her apartment burnt down and she could see her brothers spirit and heard him slightly. "I wonder." She mumbled before she groaned and thought 'I really miss Shuichi, he could probably make sense of this.'
A shake of her head before Autumn went into her school building for the day. Which throughout it she stayed alone, it wasn't that she didn't get along with people.. it was just most feared her simply because her last name was Urameshi and they figured she was related to Yusuke Urameshi. None of them knew she was for sure but she never said otherwise since it gave her the peace and quiet that she needed. Even though right then she felt a bit lonely without her one friend being around. Taking out her drawing pad and pencil, she started to draw the scene of the lunch area she could see from her spot. That was her favorite past time and she had gotten quite good at it over the years, often using Shuichi or her brother to practice or draw just since she had them around the most.
After school, she left school and headed to downtown and towards her favorite shops. Humming softly as she walked, not taking notice to the fact that she was being watched right then by two beings. As she shopped and gather bags in her hands, the beings kept watch and she stopped at the flower store to get some flowers mostly as an afterthought. She figured she might as well go visit Shuichi's mother just to see how the woman was doing. Plus she figured it would make Mrs Minamino happy to have a visitor other than her son, even if she is only a friend of the woman's son.
At the hospital Autumn walked up to the older woman's room and knocked softly before entering with a small smile towards the woman. "Hello Mrs Minamino, I brought some flowers for you." She said as she walked over to the bed.
Mrs Minamino gave a smile to the girl who had come to visit her and said "Hello dear, it's been a while since I've seen you come here."
Autumn gave a sheepish smile and said "About that I'm sorry, Shuichi hasn't invited me to come and last time he did.. I had some family issues come up that needed taken care of." She set the flowers on the table next to the bed, "Although I'm sorry I missed coming to visit. I hope you like the flowers."
Mrs Minamino nodded as she sat up and leaned back against the pillows after the girl helped fix the pillows behind her. "Oh don't worry Autumn, Shuichi explained it to me. I'm sorry for your loss." She said with her hand going over Autumn's hand comforting way. "They are beautiful, thank you."
Autumn blushed lightly and replied "Thank you and you're welcome." With that the two visited some and Autumn left after an hour with the older woman feeling a bit better yet sad at the same time. Although she did feel a little like she had talked to Shuichi without really having said anything at all about what she really wanted to talk about, and she was glad the older woman didn't push to talk about what was on her mind despite Aut figuring that Mrs Minamino had figured that she had something bothering her.
A few blocks away from the Urameshi apartment, Autumn gasped and grabbed her head as she felt a surge of pain and dizziness push into her body. It took all her strength to keep from going to her knees and keep her bags on her arms. It only lasted about a minute but once it past, she was able to straighten and gasped seeing the frames of two people in the sky clearly that were looking at her apartment building. It clicked in her head that it must have something to do with her brother and she took off running home. Reaching her door she noticed it half open and shoes tossed just inside the door before she heard her brother laughing softly and crying. Dropping her bags by the door and managing to close it along with taking off her shoes before she ran to her brother's room. Standing in the doorway as she looked at Keiko hugging her brother who was sitting up, her dark purple eyes looked at him before she walked in a daze over to the bed and reached out to touch her brother's face.
Yusuke looked up at his sister seeing her standing at the door and he gave her a smile seeing the daze look in her dark purple eyes. Feeling her touch he said "Yes Aut, I'm back." It was with those words that he got knocked back slightly with his sister hugging him around Keiko.
Keiko sat up with tears in her eyes as she moved back to let the siblings hug, her honey brown eyes taking in how happy the younger girl looked. She was about to get up before she was pulled into a hug by Autumn.
Autumn smiled and hugged her brother and Keiko, happiness shining in her eyes as she half snuggled up to her brother in a way she hadn't done in years. "I'm so glad you are back." She said softly.
Yusuke looked at his little sister with a reassuring smile as his arm settled around her in a comforting way. He looked at Keiko who was pulled into the hug and chuckled softly as he comforted both girls who were happy to have him back. "So am I. You have Keiko to thank by the way." He said knowing that he shouldn't say how or he knew that he would never hear the end of it from his little sister.
Autumn looked at Keiko and said "Thank you Keiko." She was curious how the older girl was to thank but since she figured the girl had the same dream as she did that was how. No matter what she was thankful to their childhood friend.
Keiko blushed and said "I didn't do anything." Standing up she looked at the siblings before she gasped and said "My mother, I need to get back to her." It gave her a good reason to leave and she quickly did leave while gathering her stuff up as she did so.
Yusuke heard some whining and looked at the pup that sat on the floor looking up at them. "Hey sis, what is with the dog?"
Autumn looked down at Yoshi and moved away from her brother and stood up, "Oh this is Yoshi. One of my friends from school brought him for me." She said as she picked up the pup and sat back down on her brother's bed with the pup on her lap. "It was a couple of days after you died, he was worried about me and-"
"He? Just who is this friend of yours?" Yusuke cut in on his sister's explaining as he looked at her strictly. "You aren't dating yet right?" He asked with his protectiveness showing.
Autumn hit her brother's arm and snapped "He is just a friend. He wanted to cheer me up so he took me to a fighting tournament and brought me Yoshi." She looked to her dog and petted the dog before she said "Please like I have any interest in dating. School is far more important than dating some guy. Plus my friend isn't even my type for dating."
Yusuke relaxed and patted Aut's head before he said "Good, better not be dating. You are far too young to be so." He ignored the look he got from her and stood up stretching. "Well if that pup has been in the apartment all day then perhaps we should take him for a walk." He suggested, mostly just so he can get to stretch his legs and let him enjoy being alive again.
Autumn rolled her eyes at his words on her dating and glared at him slightly while she thought 'It isn't like I have a childhood friend that I like in that sense like you do.' Feeling him get up she looked at him and nodded at his words before she stood up and said "Alright, get dressed you have some clothes in the dresser. Don't worry I picked them out and not mom so they are more your taste." She set Yoshi down and walked out of the room closing the door behind her as Yoshi walked next to her feet.
Autumn giggled softly at her brother as they walked towards the park with Yoshi on his leash. What she found funny was the fact that her brother was so happy to be back in a human body and not be a spirit. Although she wanted to talk to him about what happened, she couldn't find the words to explain it and she really didn't know how to go to the subject. Pushing it to the back of her mind as they reached the park, her dark purple eyes glancing at her brother before she took Yoshi off the leash and walked over to pick up a stick and tossed it for the puppy to retrieve. "Yusuke." She said as she tossed the stick again when Yoshi returned with it, "Don't go dying again."
Yusuke came out of his happiness at being alive at his name from his sister, his dark brown eyes turned to look at her as he noticed how she seemed to have something on her mind. He watched as she tossed the stick again before he heard her order to not die again. A soft smile came to his lips and he said "Don't worry Autumn, I don't plan on it." He reached over and ruffled her hair before he said "Right now lets just enjoy the night and get you home so mom doesn't freak out if she comes home."
Autumn glanced at her brother before she called Yoshi back and clipped him back onto the leash, turning to her brother at his words on going home. "Alright but I don't think there is any chance of that happening tonight. School tomorrow however is what you need to worry about." She said while she bumped into his arm playfully knowing that her brother probably wouldn't go to school right after getting back to life.
Yusuke raised an eyebrow before he laughed and said "Yeah school, complete reason to go home." His voice showing his sarcasm but he knew that his sister was joking about school, walking back with her to their apartment as they joked and teased each other like siblings who got along did. Although he guessed to some his sister and him were on better terms than most siblings, at least any that he knew of anyway but he never did have many problems with his sister growing up. He figured it had to do with her small size and the overwhelming feeling to protect her, even now he felt that despite knowing that she could hold her own from him giving her pointers on how to defend herself.
So this is the end of Chapter Four, I hope ya'll like it or at least that it doesn't suck that badly and was long enough for ya.
