After the park incident, the next time Kuwabara saw Urameshi was at the grocery store. Kuwabara's mother always made a big deal out of shopping; she made the whole family come and turned it into a big event (which Kuwabara loved, even though he pretended he didn't care since boys weren't supposed to like shopping).
He ran into Urameshi down the sweets aisle, reaching for the same bag of cookies. "Are you following me?" Urameshi asked.
Kuwabara scowled. "'Course not! I'm here with my family."
"Oh. Guess we both live near here."
The boys shuffled, not sure what to say to each other outside of school and with nothing to fight about.
"Yusuke! What's taking so long?"
Kuwabara looked up to see a woman coming towards them, half leaning on her shopping cart. She was sloppily dressed, and her long brown hair was in a messy bun. Her brown eyes looked just like Urameshi's.
"Mo-om!" Urameshi said. "I'm talking!"
The woman blinked and looked at Kuwabara. "Is this one of your little friends?"
"Kazuma, there you are!" Kuwabara's family wheeled down the aisle. "Who is this?" his mom asked.
"This is Urameshi, and his mom," Kuwabara said, feeling awkward.
"So you're the one we've heard so much about!" his mom said. She smiled at Urameshi's mother. "Pleasure to…meet you…" She trailed off, eyeing the contents of the other woman's cart (a case of beer and frozen dinners).
Urameshi's mom gave a funny smile, and said, "Right."
"Hey, Urameshi," Kuwabara's dad said, "you should come by our house sometime and join in Kazuma's fighting lessons."
Urameshi glared at Kuwabara. "You've been taking lessons? That's cheating!"
"Is not!" Kuwabara said blushing.
"Hasn't done him any good anyways," Shizuru added.
"Hey!"
"Nice meeting you," Urameshi's mom said, "but we've got to go. Bye."
