Chapter 4: Waking The Dimwit

"Hi! This is Urameshi Atsuko. If you think I'm home now, either you don't know me very well, you have the wrong number, or I have a horrid hangover from partyin' and boozin' late last night. Well, you know what to do!" the answering machine beeped three times and a familiar voice spoke to a sleeping Yusuke.
"Yusuke?" It was Kayko Yukimura. Sort of his girlfriend, although he would never admit it. "Yusuke, I know you're there. Wake up you lazy bum!"
One rough hand hand reached out from under the covers, its origin unseen,and slowly and lazily grasped the phone.
"Mmmm...ello?" the receiver disappeared beneath the covers.
"Yusuke, get up. It's noon already! Don't waste your Sunday!" there was a very irritating tone in her voice.
"Geez, Kayko! Gimme a break! Some people sleep on the weekends-" he trailed off as he found an envelope in his hand from his young, floozy mom. "Huh?"
Atsuko sank into their couch with the television remote in one hand and a cigarette in the other. "Dunno.." she mumbled. "It was just laying on the step so I brought it in." she moaned with pure exhaustion.
"Hold on Kayko. I got a letter..." he looked it over quizically.Opening it, he put the phone between his shoulder and his cheek while Kayko continued to loudly lecture him. "You goin' Kayko? To this...."special occasion?" he snapped his fingers in attempt to remember the word.
"Of course! It sounds important...." she slowed to a stop. Then Yusuke leaped out of his bed so fast, it even startled Atsuko, his mother.
"Well then, here I come! I'll meet ya at the park, Kayko?"
"Alright." she agreed hesitantly."Bye Yusuke!"
"Kay, bye mom!" he ran out the door, somehow in his clothes, not pajamas, and vaulted over the side of the apartment building to land in a graceful crouch. And off he went. Atsuko flicked her wrist lazily. "Later...whatever..just make sure you don't die..again." she said as she took in a puff of her cigarette and changed the television to her soap opera channel.
