Thanks for being such a consistent reader and reviewer Jessica! You're amazing! This chapter probably has the most Yusuke in it, but we do get to see Yukina and Kuwabara just a little in the next part of the story, so don't worry, we didn't just erase them from our story, after all, Hiei was totally talking about Yusuke, so yeah, he's here XD Finally a Yusuke Chapter!

We set up the story so that Yusuke and Yukina were already tagged before the story started, and Kurama avoided it so his mother wouldn't know what he was, and Hiei didn't know about it. That's why there hasn't really been much about them. Plus, we typically write romances, so this is more focused on Kurama and Hiei who have new love interests than cannon romances.

If anyone else reading has questions, feel free to drop them in a review or a PM and I'll be happy to answer them or ask ArmordaRay if they were more her parts of the story. 33 Love you guys, thanks for reading!


"Fox!" Kurama woke up with a start and sat bolt upright at the panic in Hiei's voice. "Fox, Riva's gone."

"What?" Kurama looked over his shoulder for his clock, and eventually spied it was far too early in the morning to worry about whatever the hell Hiei was complaining about. He lay back down in his fluffy bed and curled his arms around a pillow, pulling it close and burying his face in it.

"Riva's gone Fox." Hiei crawled onto the bed.

"Mm, I'm sure she's just hiding." Even Kurama knew that was a weak argument.

"I can't find her, I've looked."

"Did you look under the bed?" He curled away from Hiei

"Fox."

"Hiei, look, you don't sound tired, so just, don't go to sleep."

"But she's missing Fox."

"Maybe she went home. I'm sure if you wait, she'll turn up before too long."

"Hn." Hiei settled down on the bed, "I'm worried."

"Then keep looking for her. I don't care Hiei, I just need my sleep." He scooted closer to the little fire demon expecting his warm friend to help lull him back to sleep after waking him up like that.

Hiei rested a hand on his blanket and warmed it up.

Kurama sighed in delight and relaxed. His muscles ached from the most recent transformation back into Shuichi, but Kurama felt like he was getting more control over his transformations finally. It was still difficult, but it wasn't impossible now.

"Go to sleep Fox."

"I will. You should go check the jail. Maybe she was just in a barrier."

"Maybe."

Kurama fell back to sleep.

Yusuke banged loudly on the door. Kurama opened it with a wide smile and welcomed the human turned demon into his home with a tight hug. "Mm, Yusuke, it's good to see you. Thank you for doing this." The bear hug turned into a competition of back-patting.

Kurama let Yusuke win and led him towards the bathroom. "Damn it's good to see you again. I've missed you Yusuke."

"I've missed you man." Yusuke grinned.

"Now don't freak out, but I'm going to put makeup on you."

"Why?" Yusuke frowned.

"Well, eyes and facial features don't come out well on a camera without it. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave it on you forever. It's not going to be a lot either, just enough to make you look like you actually have eyes."

"Fine, but make it quick, Foxy boy."

Kurama nodded. They caught up as Kurama applied the makeup and once Kurama had him in front of the camera, he knew he was going to pay for what he did to him eventually. Just not immediately. Not until he released the footage. It wasn't obvious that he was wearing makeup, but he looked different enough to anyone who really knew Yusuke that they would be able to tell.

"Alright Yusuke, I want you to tell me stories okay?" After the first two interviews, Hiei and Riva, he'd realized he had to explain that to them. He waited for Yusuke to agree, or admit he understood what he meant.

"Alright."

"When I turn on the camera to record, I want you to state your name, age, and where you belong in Demon World, so Tourin. Once you do that, I'm going start asking you questions and I'd appreciate it if you could restate the question in your answer, and explain yourself, give a story if you have one. If I wave my hand, it's because I want you to think of something else to add. The goal here is to show humans that not all demons are bad. You have a unique experience being a human first, so draw on that."

"Alright, let's do this." Yusuke grinned.

Kurama nodded and started the camera rolling. He nodded to Yusuke to begin.

"My name is Yusuke Urameshi, I'm 24, and in Demon World I'm from Tourin, but I've always lived in Human World, right here in Japan."

"Why did you stay in Human World?"

"I grew up in Human World and I'm hoping to start a family with my wife."

Kurama waved his hand at him.

"I married her a few years ago. She's a human and we've always been really close, I don't know what I'd do without her." Yusuke grinned sheepishly.

Kurama realized that this was going to be a difficult interview. Yusuke was great for the camera, but he didn't know how to take direction well. This was going to require a lot of editing to make it as smooth as Hiei's. "How did you become a demon?"

"I became a demon because of some recessive gene. It finally woke up and boom, I was a demon. A long time ago a family member got intimate with a demon and his genes carried down this far."

"How did the change affect you?"

"I became a lot stronger, my hair grew really long, and I gained a few cool powers from it, like, I'm basically immortal."

"Did it change you emotionally? Do you feel any more violent or anything because you're a demon now?"

Yusuke shook his head, "No, the only thing it changed is my hormones seem a little different, like I might have more testosterone or something."

"Stories, Yusuke. Stories."

"Are you sure I'm right for this?"

Kurama nodded, "Yusuke, you're a charismatic, influential, previously human, demon lord. You're perfect. Just, tell me your story."

"Just, the whole thing?"

"Yeah."

Yusuke sighed, "Alright, I'll try, want to ask the questions again?"

"No, I'll just edit it."

"Uh, want to tell me what the questions were?" Yusuke grinned.

"Why did you come to Human World, but for you, why did you stay when you became a demon. Start there."

"Alright. I've lived in Human World, Japan my whole life, but in Demon World I'd be from Tourin. I stayed when I became a demon because of a girl. She's the love of my life and my wife, and I had friends who I couldn't leave, and Demon World is only fun for so long. After a while you kind of miss the simple stuff here in Human World, like pancakes and waffles."

"How did you become a demon?"

"Well," He nodded, "A long time ago one of my relatives got intimate with a demon and had a kid, but it turned out human. My family has a recessive gene that got carried down to me, and it turned me into a demon."

"No, Yusuke, I need you to tell me the story about Sensui. Tell me about when you learned you were a demon, and how you felt about it. What changed. Assure your audience that you're not some monster just because your biology changed."

Yusuke sighed and rubbed his neck, "Alright, I don't think I'm cut out for this though, Fox."

Kurama stopped recording and took it off the tripod. He poked through the menu and walked over to Yusuke. He found Hiei's recording, and the earmarked part for his answer about Human World. "I asked Hiei when he changed personally, like, what made his life better. I need to show you that." He held out the camera to him. "Press play."

Yusuke clicked play.

Hiei appeared on the screen. "It changed when I met this young human kid. He was so, so set on the fact that I was his friend that I couldn't shake him off. No matter what I did, how I threatened him, he would see it for what it was and dismiss it and throw his arm around me like I was the safest person in the world to be around when I really wasn't. He made me feel like I had someone there, and I could kind of rely on him, and eventually we grew into a great friendship. I trust him with my life and he trusts me with his."

"Aw did the shrimp really say this?"

"You see him saying it Yusuke. Yes, he did. This is not edited."

"I got to go give him a hug when I see him." Yusuke chuckled.

"Just, tell me your story Yusuke. I want you to give a voice to your experiences. I don't care if you don't even answer the question. I'm trying to either make a documentary or a commercial which will connect with people. Okay?"

"Yeah." Yusuke nodded.

Kurama went back to the tripod and put it back on. He hit record, then nodded.

Yusuke looked at the camera and shifted a little before he took a deep breath and nodded, "My name is Yusuke Urameshi, in Demon World I'm from Tourin, but I've lived here in Human World, specifically Japan my whole life. I'm 24 years old. As a human kid everyone labeled me as a delinquent and a general punk to the public and I found it really hard to fit in. I liked to fight to solve problems but that's not really how you're supposed to do it as a human and I had a lot of people giving me a hard time about it. It took some time before some fancy genes of mine kicked in and I was turned into a demon, but by then I'd be fighting a lot of demons as a human. It really seemed like the only way to handle stuff. With demons, they really don't care if you throw a punch or not, it's easy, you fight or talk it out. One way or another it'll get sorted out. When people didn't get pissed when I threw punches I started to realize I was being accepted because that was how it worked there. They saw me for what I was, a fighter. It took some time and a few times getting my butt kicked before I realized that I could talk things out too, so I did, and I realized I really didn't need to fight that often."

Kurama held up his hand, "Hold on Yusuke, try just, speaking from the cuff. Stop answering the question, just talk. Tell Human World what you want to say."

Yusuke looked at the camera and shifted a little before he took a deep breath and nodded, "Hey, the name's Urameshi, and I was the last Spirit Detective protecting all your asses from world annihilation. I've saved the world from being turned into mindless slaves, everyone dying or being ruled by a tyrant as a world, and becoming a food mill for demons. I also saved demons though. It turns out a lot of our beliefs about demons come from them being brainwashed into attacking us. It actually drove the previous Spirit Detective crazy when he realized humans can be just as bad as demons, if not worse. For me, demons have really saved me from ending up in jail all my life. I wasn't going anywhere. I was going to drop out of middle school once I was old enough, join the Yakuza, and probably die in a fight. Instead, I died saving a kid, and fighting demons gave me a second chance at life. When I fought I had a lot of people giving me a hard time about it. As a human kid everyone labeled me as a delinquent and a general punk to the public and I found it really hard to fit in. I liked to fight to solve problems but that's not really how you're supposed to do it as a human. Today, people blame my ancestors, the latent Mazaku gene for my behavior as a kid, saying I was always a demon and that's why I was a delinquent, but that wasn't it. It's just the only way I could get people to listen, and I couldn't explain myself without my fists. When I met my demon friends, when I became a Spirit Detective, they understood. I could throw a punch to say Hi, and watching them, I learned how to talk it out too. I couldn't always punch my problems into the ground. Most of them were stronger than me when I first met them. I had to use my head, something school never made me do. When people didn't get pissed when I threw punches I started to realize I was being accepted because that was how it worked there. They saw me for what I was, a fighter. It took some time and a few times getting my butt kicked before I learned how to talk things out, but I did it by watching demons."

He looked up a little at Kurama, and cracked a grin, "I suppose you could say without demons in Human World, I'd still be a lost delinquent. Instead, I'm your savior."

He looked back down at the camera again, "Today, I run a shop that solves paranormal crime, and I've got the guns to back up any human who needs my help with a demon. Most of the 'demon' crime I get is actually caused by humans. I haven't had a case yet of a demon causing problems in Human World since I stopped people from brainwashing low-level demons. We are more of a threat to ourselves, than we've ever been to one another, and that goes for all of us. The witch hunt going on for demons in Human World is more likely to get humans killed, or make them murderers, than it is to prevent anything. Demons have to answer to me if they break the rules, and they know it. That's enough to stop anyone who's not my friend from breaking them, and those who are my friends? They help enforce the rules."

"Thanks Yusuke. I just need one more thing from you, please say 'The discrimination needs to end. I may not be human, but I'm a person, and I deserve my rights.'"

"The discrimination needs to end. I may not be human, but I'm a person, and I deserve my rights."

Kurama turned off the camera. "And you said you didn't think you'd be good at this," Kurama teased him.

"Ah, yeah well."

"You're naturally charismatic Yusuke. I just needed to give you less of a leash." Kurama turned on the lights and headed for the door.
