Its a beautiful day, the sky is clear, the birds are singing and the final bell for school is ringing, releasing students from a hard day of school.

"Hey, Urameshi, where were you yesterday? You didn't go off and do that Spirit Detective stuff without me did you?"

Yusuke looks up, he is still wearing a hat to cover his ears.

"No, I had a family problem that required me to stay home."

"Really! What was it? Nothing bad happened, right?"

"Depends on your definition of bad, actually now that I think about it, Kuwabara, you know kendo, right?"

"Well, kinda. I know how to use a sword, if that's what you mean."

"Yeah, that's what I mean. Would you... would you teach me how to use a sword? It would really mean alot to me."

"Why do you wanna learn how to use a sword?"

"I'll show you why when we get to my place."

"Alright, Urameshi, and I guess I can show you how to use a sword."

*************

"I'm home. Mom, you here?"

"Yusuke, I'm in the kitchen."

"Ok. I brought Kuwabara over, he's gonna show me how to use the Tetsuiga properly."

"Ok, honey. Be careful not to hurt anyone."

"Alright. Come on Kuwabara, I'll show you why I missed school yesterday."

So Yusuke leads Kuwabara to his room and removes his hat.

"What the hell is on your head, Urameshi? They look like dog ears."

"They are dog ears."

He replies with a slight snarl, showing off his enlarged canines. Kuwabara looks a little scared. Yusuke turns his back ot Kuwabara and gets the Tetsuiga out of his closet and shows it to Kuwabara.

"Yesterday I found out about who my dad was, and got this," motions to the Tetsuiga, "as an inhertance. The ears and fangs I also get from my dad. They showed up yesterday, in the morning, apparently my dad was a half-demon. I wanna learn how to use the Tetsuiga so I can be a better Spirit Detective. Not to mention my uncle may come after it and I'll need to protect my mom and myself from him."

"Why would your uncle be after this old peice of junk?"

"Apparently it changes when being used to protect someone. My dad used it to protect my mom, but that doesn't matter, I promised that I would learn to use it and I plan to do just that."

"Now that I look at it more closely, it does have an aura of power about it. So where'd your dad get this anyways?"

"I'm not sure, I think mom said it was made by my grandpa, and my uncle wants it because its a powerful weapon. But that's it."

"Cool, so who's your uncle?"

"I don't know. Some kinda demon lord or something. I think it was something like 'Great Demon of the West'."

"Wow, so your, like, rich or something?"

"Na, my uncle hated my dad and kicked him out. He hates my dad with a vengence. I asked Botan to find some information on him for me."

"Talk about a disfunctional family."

Yusuke glares at him.

"So, what happened to your dad, did your uncle get him?"

"No, he died before I was born. Its complicated, can we drop it?"

"Sure."

"Ah, young master. I see you're home, is this one of the companions you fight demons with."

Myoga has arrived and he is perched on Yusuke's shoulder.

"Wha?! Who said that?"

"Why, that would be I, Myoga the Flea, I was Lord Yusuke's father's retainer and now I serve the young master, Lord Yusuke."

"A flea! Bwahahahaha. Urameshi has a flea for a servant."

Kuwabara continues to laugh.

"He's not a servant, he's a retainer. Myoga, this is Kuwabara."

"Aaahh, the doofus with the spirit sword. "

"Hey! Who you callin' a doofus?"

"Myoga, Kuwabara's goning to show me how to use a sword. *so be nice, you little bloodsucker*

'he's so much like his father its scary. I hope he doesn't decide to start squishing me when I offend.'

And thus Yusuke gets a teacher to teach him to use a sword.
