The Abandoned Kit
WOW! Despite the complaints on my spelling, everyone and Silver-san
especially has inspired me to go on! Chuga choo choo!
Heehee... Chapter summary: Yusuke explains, and Hiei comes back with bad news
Chapter 5: no title
(Yusuke's POV)
I sat Keiko on a pillow in the main eating room of the shrine. Yukina is
busying herself with tea, and humming. She seems very calm about this. More
so than I.
But.. I guess I'm not really so calm. I look at Keiko, she's being very
patient. The way she's tilting her head is kinda cute.
"So, Yusuke, you're gonna explain the... The child?" she asks, unsure of
what to call the kit. "You-you called him Kurama, didn't you? Why, why
Yusuke? Kurama-"
"I know, Keiko. I know as well as you what happened to Kurama. I-I felt, like
the name suited the little guy. I don't really know why."
She sighs, and I do as well. This is harder to do than I thought. I'm not
ready to lie to her like this.
"So, tell me what you can, Yusuke. Where'd he come from? Why is he here?
What's gonna happen to him?"
"One at a time!" I sweatdrop slightly. But she is totally serious. So I will
be too.
"I found him in the Makai. I don't really understand it. But when I crossed
the gate into the realm, I felt something inside me stirring. Something.
..almost paternal. I found him naked and freezing in a small alleyway. I
brought him here. He's here, because I don't know where else to take him! I
couldn't bring him home-mom would freak- and I couldn't send him to you or
Kuwabara or anything. And, I don't know what's gonna happen to him. I'm gonna
get him some clothes of his own, and I guess I'll raise him. At least till he
can fend for himself."
She nods, taking it in. she nibbles on a fingernail. "I see."
"Look! I know it's a lot to take in, but I couldn't abandon K-" I cut myself
off. No, I wont tell her. I can't. not yet.
"Yusuke."
"Ah, hai?"
"I want to know where our Kurama is. Not the child, but our Kurama. Please,
tell me hat's going on!"
"I-"
"He can't tell you." "Huh?" we both say, and look to the window Hiei pooped in
from.
"You heard me, Yusuke cannot tell you where Kurama is. The truth is, none of
us can. Because we don't know." My eyes widen.
"Hiei! I thought-" he shakes his head, a firm frown on his face.
"He has disappeared." He turns his head to address Keiko. "We did at one point
know where Kurama was. But he has disappeared. I went to visit him this
morning. And the...the place..was totally destroyed. Not a sign of life.
"But that can't be!" I cry, standing with a thump against the table as I
rose.
"It can. And if Kurama is gone, they may come after the kit." Cold dread washed into me. I had known the kit I named after Kurama for such a short time, but
I have fallen for him, as a father does for his newborn. And, something wants
to take him from me? So soon?
Hiei gazes at me as if reading my every thought. His eyes narrow.
"No, Yusuke. I don't mean anytime soon. He is of no use to them as a child.
They shall bide their time, and leave a hanging shadow over us, for years."
"Excuse me! what is going on!?"
And too late we realized we'd discussed secret things in front of Keiko.
Uh-Oh.

END! Bwah-ha!! Enjoy? No? tell me!!!
