Chapter 2: Yukina tells everyone off...in other words: she b*tches at the guys who made Kuwabara sad...bwahahahahahaha!!!!

Graduation Day

"Kuwabara Kazuma!" the principle called. The auditorium was crowded and stuffy but Kuwabara didn't mind. He was graduating and that meant escape from this place. From everyone and the mandatory confinements that were placed on minors.

As Kuwabara walked towards his diploma, he thought, could this really be happening? It was only till he felt the stiff rolled parchment in his hand that he knew that his escape was secure. Looking at Yukina and Shizuru, he smiled and waved his diploma for them to see. He didn't noticed the three shadowed figures in the back looking at him with astonished looks on their faces, not quite believing that Kuwabara actually graduated.

Yukina sensed their presence and looked back at them, giving them a glare so icy that hell could've frozen over. Hiei even had the decency to shiver with fear.

A few hours later at the train station...

Kuwabara, Yukina, and Shizuru were gathered, saying their goodbyes before Kuwabara would leave for a self-discovering trip. (Yukina specifically told Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei to wait at Genkai's) Tears were shed and embraces were exchanged, but in the end, but Kuwabara ended up waving goodbye from the last car to leave.

Shizuru went home, leaving Yukina to go back to Genkai's for some serious yelling. She had noticed the boys' behavior towards her beloved over the years and anger had already piled up by the time she got the letter and then that really topped everything off. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of the three boys and letting them read the letter before she started in on them. She watched each of their expressions and smirked in satisfaction when all three had guilty expressions.

"Do you realize how much you've hurt him?" she asked. They didn't respond.

"Do you know how much he admired and respected the three of you, all the while you treated him as if he were an annoying stray puppy?" she growled. They still didn't respond.

"I can't tell you how much he hurt, but if I were him, I would have ended everything the moment you started calling me names that were unwarranted. But that's me. He wanted so much to have friends, good friends, to want to hang out with him no matter how oblivious or naïve he was about things. I'm ashamed to even acknowledge your existence because of your behavior. When he gets back from his trip he'll be going to college to become a veterinarian. Don't even try to contact him until then. Think about what you've done and I hope to King Yama that you'll have redeemed yourselves enough. Good day." Yukina hissed. With that, she left the boys to their thoughts.

Yusuke was the first to speak. "I guess, the only thing I could really do is to apologize and make a fresh start. I'll see you guys later." And he left to go home.

Kurama nodded and kept his feelings of shame and hopeful redemption to himself as he left in the other direction, towards the woods.

Hiei merely stared at the floor and a tear escaped his right eye and formed a gem to fall into his hand.
