"We need to get some clothes!!" Shizu said excitedly. Yusuke groaned knowing that he would have to do this one time with Shizu, she seemed like the type of girl to do that. But he had to admit; he was still in his uniform and jacket he was wearing when he met Shizu was all torn up by the demons.
"We could probably stop by my house real quick and get some," Yusuke explained. There was a pause of silence.
"But I thought you didn't want to go back." Yusuke just grinned.
"It's all right, we'll just sneak in, grab a few of my stuff, and leave. My mom is usually never home. So it no one will noticed we were there," Yusuke said reassuringly, Shizu didn't buy it but went along with it anyway. The two of them set off towards Yusuke's dwelling. Once they got there they realized that no one was home. Yusuke turned towards Shizu and smirked.
"See," he hinted with a no it all tone. Yusuke got some of his clothing and personal belongings with the help of Shizu the two zipped up a quite heavy bag. "Well that's all of it!" They both stiffened when the sound of the door being opened and closed.
"What do we do now!?!" Shizu hissed quietly at Yusuke.
"Peek around the corner and tell me what you see!!" Shizu obeyed and peeked around the corner and came back around.
"There's an older woman there, and by the looks of it she's pretty drunk." Yusuke groaned knowing that his mother went out again and got herself all drunk. He quickly thought of something quick.
"We're going to have to through the window." He said trying to feel for the window in his room. Shizu took his hand and put it on the cool glass surface. He mumbled his thanks for carefully opening it. Shizu jumped out first and then helped Yusuke. As soon as they were safe outside they bolted and started at a dead run to get as far away from the apartment.
"Wow that was close," Shizu said as she let a deep breath of relief. There was that silence in between a conversation that gets on your nerves. All of sudden Yusuke started laughing; because Yusuke was laughing Shizu couldn't help to laugh too. Laughing made Yusuke's broken heart feel a little better.

"Hey guys stop!" Kurama said as they walked near Yusuke's apartment hoping they would get a clue somewhere near it. Kuwabara and Hiei both stopped in their tracks and stared at the red headed fox spirit. "I've picked up Yusuke's scent." At this both people looked somewhat relieved.
"Is he still with that half-demon?" Kuwabara asked. Kurama stayed silent for a moment then nodded his head. "Great! Is that a good or bad thing?" Kuwabara said frustrated. Hiei didn't show any emotion that he was still with the half-demon.
"It doesn't really matter, half-demons aren't as strong as us full-blooded demons," he said coldly.
Kurama smiled softly, "Yes but half-demons have their moments. I am sorta half-demon myself." Hiei didn't say anything. Kurama hurried down the street followed by Kuwabara. "Hurry, we do want to catch them while we have their scent!" Hiei bounded forward past everyone with his speed.

Yusuke is able to walk by himself but Shizu makes sure he doesn't run into anything so she latched onto his arm to steer him the right way. Yusuke didn't really mind though. Shizu's ears twitched and she looked over her shoulder and then back, "Yusuke?" Shizu said he hinted the sound of worry in her voice. He wished he could see her face properly, but thanks to the bandages around his eyes he couldn't.
They both stopped and Yusuke turned to her, "What is it?" Shizu's ears twitched again and she looked down the street worry written over her face.
"I can hear a demon coming this way! He's coming really fast too!" her voice shaky. Yusuke was impressed at how good her hearing was, having those ears might help them out in the wilderness or something.
"Don't panic," Yusuke said confidently, "Let's just catch the bus and try to get out of the city." Shizu quickly led him to the bus and they both hopped on. No sooner Hiei was seen as he jumped on top of a lamppost. He scanned the area and didn't see a sign of them at all. Then he noticed the bus leaving and he narrowed his eyes, and quickly jumped onto the bus.
"We'll wait until the bus gets close to the city limits and then try to get back to the woods. One of my friends should be waiting there to help us," Shizu explained. Yusuke eyebrow rose.
"Don't tell me…another half-demon! What is this a conspiracy!?" Yusuke said loudly.
Shizu just smiled, "Well actually no he's not a half-demon. He's a full blooded one."
"I thought you said that full blooded demons went out killing half-demons like you?" Yusuke said confused. Shizu just smiled and giggled.
"The majority of them do, but there are some that are rebellious and take care of half-demons like myself. Where I live I have four demon friends with me. Every single one of them has become my family. They're quite unique group of demons," Shizu said cheerfully. Yusuke was glad that he got to know some more of Shizu's back ground. They heard the bus stop, and in the front the driver turned around to face them.
"This is the farthest stop from the city," he said to them. Yusuke and Shizu got up and walked out of the bus, Shizu said a small thank you as she got off the bus. In front of them was a huge forest, and by the looks of it very old. Yusuke got a better grip on his bag and started walking. But he then turned around when he didn't feel Shizu's warm body next to him.
"Shizu?" Yusuke asked. Then he reached out for her, wherever she was.
"So that's her name."
"Hiei!!!" Yusuke said in surprise. Hiei had his sword drawn and up against Shizu's neck. "Don't you dare hurt her!!!" He didn't want this new friend of his who gave him a second chance to get hurt.
"It isn't wise to walk off with a half-demon Yusuke," Hiei said coldly as he held the sword closer to her throat. Yusuke made the movement where he was going to take off the bandages on his eyes.
"Yusuke!! Don't do it!!! You need to keep them on for a few more hours!!!" Shizu's voice called out, and was followed by a yelp. Hiei had pressed harder against her throat.
"Hiei!! Stop this!!! Leave us alone!!!!" Yusuke yelled at the three-eyed demon.
"You need to come back!! Everyone is worried sick about you!!" Hiei shouted the anger rising in him. "Don't let this half-breed misguide you!!!" Shizu's eye twitched when he practically spit out the half-breed part.
"She saved my life!!! And you better let go of her Hiei!!! I don't want to fight you!!" Yusuke said lifted up his finger and pointed it at Hiei it started to glow. "Let go of her or else I'll shoot!!"
"Put your spirit gun down Yusuke, you can't aim when you're blind. You might hit the half-breed." Yusuke hesitated.
"Well it looks like ur in a wee bit of a jam dere Urameshi!!!" A cheerful voice called from above. Hiei and Yusuke looked into the air eyes bugging out, while Shizu smiled happily at the person in the sky.
