Chapter 1: Kurama's Return
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Flashback*~
It was little Shuuichi's first day at school. Pre-school that is. No one really talked to him. He was fairly shy and didn't know how to react to the other kids. He usually played alone in the sand or what not. In nap times, he couldn't even sleep. Just stare at the wall and wait for school to be over. That all ended when he met the new girl. Her name was Mika Ito. She came from America, but she was Japanese. Her parents just worked in America.
Shuuichi just sighed. He was only going to be ignored by this girl just like all the other kids. One day, he was playing in the sand alone, as usual. But he was rather enjoying himself. He was making the biggest sand castle he has ever made. All he had to do was get the last bit of sand on the top. But because of his weak human body, he couldn't carry the bucket all the way.
Mika walked by wearing pink corduroy overalls with an aqua green shirt and blue jacket sucking her thumb. She watched as Shuuichi helplessly tried carrying the bucket over his head, but failed when all the sand fell on top of him. He was covered with wet sand, and it didn't feel good. Mika then went by the water fountain and got some water in a cup. Before Shuuichi could react, Mika threw the water at him, instantly washing the sand away from his clothes.
YOKO didn't find this amusing when some kids came by and were laughing at him. He then looked at Mika's face, and she was sucking her thumb again innocently. "I washed the sand away," she said simply in her American accent as she took off her jacket and gave it to Shuuichi. "You can use this as a towel."
Shuuichi just stared at her. This was the first act of kindness he's ever had. He stared at the jacket, and then Mika. She was still sucking her thumb with those big, innocent eyes again and only waited for a reply. He smiled and said, "It's o.k. Thanks for washing the sand away."
Mika took her now wrinkly thumb from her mouth and smiled at him. "Can I help you with your sand castle?" she asked. Shuuichi happily agreed and the other kids went back to their own business.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As they finally finished up the castle, Mika climbed on Shuuichi's damp shoulders to stick a flag she made from a leaf. By that time, the teacher called all the kids in. As Mika and Shuuichi walked back together, Mika said, "I'm Mika. What's your name?"
"Shuuichi. It's nice to meet you. Thanks again." Mika smiled again with thumb in mouth.
She started to giggle uncontrollably when she saw that there was some sand in his hair. She ran a little bit ahead of him, and slowly turned to look at his face. He stopped as she smiled again, and said, "You're really funny. Let's play again tomorrow!" Before he could reply, she ran inside the classroom eager to start art time.
Shuuichi stood their and was shocked a little bit. Then he smiled to himself. He had finally made a friend.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was raining and everyone was pretty gloomy that day in Ms. Sakuya's 4th grade class. Even Ms. Sakuya seemed out of it. Shuuichi and Mika were pretty bored as they stayed inside during recess.
"How many rain drops have you counted?" Mika asked Shuuichi.
"672. How about you?"
"I lost track five minutes ago. Sigh...This is boring. I wanna go outside. I don't care if it's raining," she said grumpily as she laid her head on top of her arms staring outside longingly.
"You know Ms. Sakuya said we had to stay inside," Shuuichi reminded Mika. He knew from the past though, that this wouldn't stop her. He watched as Mika got off the seat and took a peek outside to make sure there wasn't anyone in the halls. Shuuichi grabbed Mika's shoulder just as soon as she was about to run for it. "I'm not going to let you get in trouble. You KNOW we have to stay inside!" he said again.
"Stop being a goodie-tooshoes! Just distract Ms. Sakuya while I sneak outside. I promise it'll only be 5 minutes. Please Shuuichi!" she pleaded. Shuuichi sighed. She was somehow going to make him do it eventually.
"Fine, fine... Wait until I give the signal. O.k.?" he confirmed.
"Thank you, Shuuichi!" Mika said happily as Shuuichi made his way toward Ms. Sakuya's desk.
"Ms. Sakuya?" he asked her as she looked up from her paper work.
"Yes Shuuichi?"
"May we please discuss the matters of quantum physics in our natural society of the city?"
"E-excuse me?"
"Well you see....blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," as he went on, he gave the thumbs up behind his back, and Mika knew it was time. She saluted the class as they watched her run as fast as she could to the blacktop.
"WEE!!! I'M FREE!" she cried as she jumped in a puddle and started to jump in the mud. Ms. Sakuya noticed this and was startled.
"Mika! Get out of there!" she cried as she accidentally knocked Shuuichi into a garbage can, making him stuck. The class watched Ms. Sakuya become soaking wet trying to get Mika, who ran around the blacktop screaming at the top of her lungs, "FREEDOM!"
By this time, all the other classes peeked out of the windows and door as they watched Ms. Sakuya slip for the 5th time in her new purple high heels trying to catch the rugrat. Shuuichi finally popped out of the garbage can and ran outside. "MIKA!" he cried as he watched her laugh crazily. He slapped his forehead and brought it down his whole face. He shook his head back and forth and said, "Not again... I should've never listened to her."
Finally, Ms. Sakuya SOMEHOW caught Mika and practically dragged her back to the classroom. She picked Mika up and sat her in the "naughty chair". Ms. Sakuya stared angrily at Mika as her mascara bled down her eyes and on her cheeks like black tears. Her eye shadow and blush dripped as well as her hair could've easily beaten Medusa's. The purple suit she wore that day was so wet, it stuck to her body and her now bust heel only made her even angrier.
Mika sucked her thumb again, and no, she never got out of that habit. She always sucked her thumb when she was nervous. "This is the last STRAW!" Ms. Sakuya yelled. "YOU'RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER NOTE HOME!" she screamed as Shuuichi then tried hiding behind another kid. "YOU, TOO SHUUICHI! DON'T ACT INNOCENT TO ME! BOTH OF YOU ARE GETTING LETTERS HOME! DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO JOIN THEM?!?" The class then went back to being angels and studied quietly at their desks. Mika and Shuuichi then walked guiltily back to Ms. Sakuya's desk, and accepted their punishment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was after school, and everyone was talking about, the incident. They all came up to Mika and Shuuichi and said things like, 'Good job Ito! Nice thinking Minamino!'. Shuuichi knew he'd get in trouble with his mom. AGAIN. But Mika didn't look worried. She only wore a mischievous grin.
"Do you ENJOY getting us in trouble?" Shuuichi asked annoyingly.
"Hey! It worked!" Mika said reassuringly. Mika started to laugh and Shuuichi sighed. He couldn't stay mad at her no matter how hard he tried. That's one of the reasons why they were best friends. Even though they were practically opposite, they were always there for each other and one couldn't ever be mad at the other. Shuuichi's mom came by in her car and honked.
Shuuichi took out his small umbrella and waved at Mika, "See ya tomorrow!" he cried as he ran towards his mom. He buckled up in the front seat as he again waved back at Mika along with Shuuichi's mother. Mika waved back as the car drove away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was a sunny day, yet Mika couldn't be at school that day. Her brother forgot to pick her up, and so she got sick staying outside. Shuuichi walked to school sadly. He kept blaming himself that he should have offered her a ride instead of leaving her alone like that. This would be the first day since Mika's first day at school that he'd be alone.
Everyone knew that Mika and Shuuichi were inseparable. They were like peas and carrots, salt and pepper. No matter how many boys and girls had a crush on the two, they'd always be there for each other; so all the girls were basically trying to get his attention by offering their lunch. Shuuichi just brushed them away and sighed. The girls sighed as well as they saw how unhappy THEIR Shuuichi was without Mika.
For once, the class was quiet without her their, so Shuuichi just stared. He was completely out of it. After school, he decided to go buy her some flowers since his mother couldn't pick him up that day.
As he walked to the flower shop, he counted the change in his pocket. He only had enough for a daisy. Oh well, better than nothing he thought. When he opened the door, he was greeted by the sound of the bell at the top and the aroma of flowers. He breathed in deeply as he was surrounded by the sweet aroma. He loved the smell of flowers, especially roses. He walked over to the roses and buried his face in a bouquet.
Shuuichi wanted so badly to buy these for Mika, but he knew Mika's favorite flower were daisies. He wanted her to feel better, so he took a daisy from a bouquet and rung the bell at the counter. An old lady came by while cleaning up her spectacles. She made some sounds with her wrinkly mouth as she rubbed her teeth over her denchers.
"How may I help you young man?" she asked as she stared down kindly at Shuuichi.
He held up the daisy and his change and said, "I want to purchase this for my friend. Can I have a yellow ribbon around it?" The old lady smiled at him as she carefully took them from his hand and took out a pair of scissors to cut off the bottom part of the stem. He watched as she took out some yellow ribbons and wrapped it around the daisy's stem. She then carefully gave the daisy to Shuuichi as he grabbed for it.
He bowed politely as he ran out of the shop with water dripping down his hand from the flower. He ran up the stairs to Mika's apartment number as he started to pant. He was eager to get their and see Mika's face when she saw what he had bought her with his OWN money. He knocked at the door as Mika's elder brother answered the door.
"What's up squirt? Mika's in the living room watching T.V. She's better now so you don't have to worry about cuddies," he said babyishly as Shuuichi entered the apartment. He heard the humming of the T.V. when Kenji went back to his room and locked the door again. Shuuichi took off his shoes as the sound of a rocket met his ears.
When he peeked at the living room, Mika was watching some American cartoons called "Looney Tunes." He loved watching the show with her. Mika turned around as she heard the sound of shuffling clothes behind her. Her face lit up as she saw Shuuichi in her living room. "Shuuichi!" she yelled as she jumped off the couch to greet him.
"I got this for yo- Oh no!" When Shuuichi held out the flower, all was left was a petal and the stem. The daisy must have lost its petals as he was rushing to get here. "I'm so sorry Mi- huh?"
Shuuichi looked down as he was embraced by Mika tightly. "You got me a daisy!" she exclaimed as she looked up at him. "My favorite flower! Thank you, Shuuichi!" Shuuichi then did something he had never done. He blushed. He never acted this way towards Mika before, but here he was burning up exactly like the girls in his classroom. He then realized that he was turning red from the lack of air. He started to choke, but Mika then let go of him and ran into the kitchen to get a stool. She climbed on the counter as she got a cup and put some tap water into it. She ran the cup to the windowsill as she spilled some water on the floor.
She turned to face him, and she smiled. "Thank you, Shuuichi!"
~*End Flashback*~
It was Kurama's first day back in awhile. He didn't have to worry about Spirit World anymore. Everything was back to normal. Yusuke and Keiko planned their wedding as Kuwabara studied for college. Hiei worked as a Spirit Detective police officer. As for Kurama, he was looking forward just to live out the rest of his human life. He was going to go back to school and finally finish up the year.
When he got home, he gave his mother a kiss on the cheek as he went to his room to unpack his suit case. He was smiling to himself when he saw the picture of Mika and him at one of Mika's concert. Mika was working to become a music star, and Kurama supported her as much as possible by going to all of her piano concerts, talent shows, etc. When he set the suit case down on the bed and opened it, his smile quickly faded as he saw a white envelope. Addressed to Mika. He never sent his letter to Mika when he left for his case in Spirit World! He knew he was doomed for.
He lay on his bed as he moaned at his pillow. Mrs. Minamino heard this as she knocked on his open door and looked worriedly at him. "Is there something wrong, Shuiichi?" Kurama simply held up the letter while still keeping his face buried in his pillow. Mrs. Minamino took the envelope and saw that it was addressed to Mika. "Oh, dear. Did you get forget to send this to her before you left for camp?"
Kurama only replied with a, "She's going to kill me," chant over and over again. Mrs. Minamino touched his shoulder and said reassuringly, "Don't worry. No matter what, you two always get back together. Why don't you give her a call and apologize? Ask her about her other concert. Don't worry, Shuuichi. I filled your place and went myself. My, she does have quite a talented voice. But...Well, why don't you just give her a call?" Without waiting for a reply, Mrs. Minamino left the room.
Kurama looked up and stared at the phone. Should he call her? Better not wait any longer. What the heck. He slowly dialed her number praying he wouldn't get yelled at.
"Hello?" Good. It was Mika's voice.
"Hey Mika. It's Shuui-" Kurama was interrupted by Mika's firm voice.
"Go to hell." With that she hung up and Kurama just stood their in shock. Yep. He's dead. He might as well not even go to school tomorrow. He sulked his way to the living room as his mother was watching T.V. and sitting on the couch.
"How did it go?" Kurama only answered by moaning some more on the couch while hanging on the back.
