Sorry the update took awhile but a few things came up. I'm starting to question whether I should give Kuwabara a girlfriend. I'll let your reviews decide for me. Anyway, on with the story.

Chapter 22

Family Reunion

Riku had been living in Japan for a month. By now he'd gone on seven missions, two of which were solo missions. He, Kurama, and Yusuke were now at the mall waiting for Yukina, Boton, and Keiko to finish buying some new cloths.

Yukina had convinced Riku to wear something other than his usual outfit. He now had on a red t-shirt and a pair of cargo jeans. He hid his demon traits with his special ability, except for his eyes. Kurama had a red button-up shirt and a pair of jeans on. Yusuke had a white muscle shirt and jeans.

"What's taking them?" Yusuke whined. "You know women, they take forever when it comes to cloths" Riku said as he leaned against the wall. "Why did you come anyway Riku? It's not like Yukina's your girlfriend" said Yusuke. "I had nothing better to do, but I have to say I'd rather have Hiei for company than be here" Riku replied. "By the way where is Hiei? I haven't seen him around" Yusuke said. "He told me he had to go back to the Makai for awhile" Kurama answered. "Sound like him" Yusuke added.

"Hey you guys" an annoying voice called. The three looked over and saw Kuwabara jogging toward them. "What's up" Yusuke said. "Nothing much. Been at the arcade all day" Kuwabara replied. "You spend way to much time there" said Riku. "It help's calm my mind" Kuwabara replied. "What mind?" Yusuke mumbled. "What'd you say" Kuwabara asked. "Nothing" Yusuke replied looking the other way.

"There you are" an angry voice said. Behind Kuwabara was Shizuru and she didn't look to happy. "Uh, hey sis" Kuwabara said nervously. "Don't hey sis me! Have you seen your room? It looks like a tornado went through it" she said angrily. "Come on it can't be that bad" Kuwabara replied. His legs were starting to shake. "Well your not leaving your room until it's clean. Now come on" she said grabbing his ear. "Hey that hurts" he whined as they disappeared into the crowd. "He can defeat a Saint Beast but when it comes to his sister, he'll never win" Kurama said. "I hear ya" said Yusuke.

"Were done" Boton said from the changing rooms. The boys looked in the direction of the voice and saw the girls standing with a mountain of bags behind them. Yukina had on her blue kimono, Boton was wearing a blue shirt and jean shorts, and Keiko had on a white skirt.  "Did you buy the everything in the store?" Yusuke asked. "No silly, we just bought half of everything in the store" Keiko replied with an innocent smile. "Now would you boys be so kind as to carry everything for us?" Boton said with puppy-dog eyes. "No way" Yusuke said getting ready to bolt. "Don't you dare run away" Keiko said a little angrily. That stopped Yusuke in his tracks. "Good, now Kurama can carry my stuff, Yusuke can carry Keiko's, and Riku can carry Yukina's" Boton said cheerfully. The guys groaned and picked everything up. Riku was lucky cause Yukina bought only three bags worth of cloths while Boton and Keiko bought a whole bunch of bags worth. Kurama and Yusuke were struggling to stay standing.

They dropped everything off in a van they had rented cause Yusuke's car was having its transmission replaced. (All the humans are sixteen) Thankfully, it was a big van. They all piled in and headed for Genkai's. The seating went like this: Yusuke was driving, Keiko was in the passenger's set, Boton sat near the door, Kurama sat next to her, and even though there was one set left in that row Yukina sat next to Riku in the two rear sets.

Riku didn't really like to drive or ride in cars, trucks, or vans. He preferred running to driving. Wolf demons don't like being in enclosed spaces. The only vehicle Riku would willingly drive was a motorcycle. In his view, motorcycles were made for wolf demons. It meant they could travel at high speeds while still felling the wind through their hair. Riku had ridden a few and was having a custom bike being made in California. It wouldn't be ready for a few more months. The only thing he liked about this van ride was sitting next to Yukina.

The ride to Genkai's took about an hour and a half from the mall. When they arrived Riku and Yukina had fallen asleep. Yukina's head was rested on Riku's shoulder and his head was lying on her head. "Should we wake the love birds?" Kurama asked. "Lets let them wake up on their own" Boton said as she quietly opened the door. The four sat at the bottom of the steps to Genkai's for the two to wake up. After a few more minutes of waiting Yusuke went over to wake them up. "HEY WAKEUP" he yelled. Their eyes shot open. "Bout time, now stop cuddling and help us get the stuff up to Genkai's" he said before heading for the others. Riku and Yukina both blushed when they realized they were sleeping on each other. They quickly got out and joined the others. They only had to carry Yukina and Boton's stuff up since Keiko would take her stuff home. Riku had to carry some of it along with Yukina's. He let his demon traits show since they were away from other humans.

When they reached the top, Riku stopped and dropped everything he was carrying. "Hey what'd you do that for?" Boton asked. Riku wasn't listening. His head was looking from side to side. "What is it?" Kurama asked as he tried to look around cause the bags he was carrying blocked his line of vision to the front.

Riku jumped to the side as a blur whizzed by him. The blur turned around and charged again. Riku disappeared before the blur hit him. The others watched as Riku battled the intruder at high speed. Riku soon punch him down and the intruder crashed to the ground sending a huge dust cloud up. Riku landed in front of it. Everyone had abandoned the bags and rushed to his side.

Some coughing could be heard from the dust. "I missed you to bro" a familiar voice said from the cloud. Out of the dust came non other than Rogato. He had changed since we last saw him. His hair was still spiky but more bangs went over his head. (Think Kenshin's hair only black and minus the ponytail) His outfit had changed to. He still had on the red shirt and pants but had traded his jacket for a black trench coat with the sleeves ripped off. "Well what'd you expect when you sneak attack me like that" Riku replied. "You knew I was here the entire time" Rogato replied.

"Uh Riku, who's he" Yusuke asked. "This is my twin brother Rogato" Riku replied. "He's pretty cute" Boton whispered to Keiko who nodded in agreement. "So aren't you gonna introduce your new friends" Rogato asked. "This is Yusuke, Kurama, Boton, Keiko, and you already know Yukina" Riku said pointing to each as he went along. "Hello again Yukina" Rogato said as he gave her a quick hello hug. "It's good to see you" Yukina said. "So you came alone?" Riku asked.

"Do you think I'd let him go to another country alone" a female voice said from behind them. They turned around to see Maya standing there with her hands on her hips. She was wearing a sky blue shirt with 'QUIT STARRING' written in yellow letters and a pair of jean shorts that went four inches above her knee. She walked to them and hugged Riku. "You should call more often" she said when they broke it. "You know I hate phones" Riku replied. "Then e-mail me" she said. "Maya!" Yukina said happily as she hugged Maya. "Hey Yukina" she replied returning the hug. "I thought I'd never see you" Yukina said. "She's pretty hot" Yusuke said rubbing his chin slyly. Keiko slapped him. "Who might this be?" Kurama asked. "This would be my younger sister Maya" Riku answered. "I already know who each of you are" Maya said.

"Care to join us for some girl time?" Boton asked. "I'd love to" Maya said as the girls walked into the house. "You boys can carry the stuff in" Boton said over her shoulder. "Is she taken?" Rogato asked. "Yes" Kurama replied. "You help us" Riku ordered. "Hey not my problem" Rogato said as he started to walk off. Yusuke stepped into his way. "There's no way we'll let you off that easy" Riku said from behind. Rogato gulped and picked up a few bags.

They took the stuff to the living room and dumped it all on the floor. "I'd hate to see how much all this costs" Kurama said as he slumped into a chair. "I hear you" Rogato said as he and Riku sat on the couch. "So how have things been with Lila?" Riku asked. "We broke up" Rogato replied. "That's a surprise. Last time I checked, the two of you couldn't keep your hands off each other" Riku said. "She's with Murakai now" Rogato said. "Bumer" Yusuke said. "I may have broken up with her but not before we did a little undercover work" Rogato said with a sly smile. "You sly wolf" Riku said as they high-fived. "We didn't need to know that" Yusuke said with a somewhat disgusted look on his face.

"So how bout our next sibling?" Riku asked. "Judging from the scent, it's another boy" Rogato replied. "Maya's still outnumbered" Riku said. "Yep" Rogato said. "So have they decided on a name?" Riku asked. "Our next brother will be named Kai" Rogato answered. "Not bad" Kurama said.

"So how have things been with you and Yukina?" Rogato asked. "She's just a friend" Riku replied looking down to hid his blush. "You can't fool me" Rogato said as he nodded to Yusuke and Kurama who also knew how Riku felt. "You know you should tell her soon" Kurama said. "I'll tell her when I think the times right" Riku said before getting up and heading for his room. "You can sleep on the couch tonight" he said before closing his door.

With the girls

Yukina and Maya were lying on the bed while Boton and Keiko sat on the floor. They were looking through fashion magazines. "So how are things with you and Murakai?" Yukina asked. "He's with Lila now" Maya replied. "I'm sorry" "Don't be, I'm just glad my best friend's happy even if it is with my exboyfriend" Maya replied. "I'm sure there's someone for you" Boton said from the ground. "Well Damien and I are pretty close" Maya said. "The fox demon?" Keiko asked. "How do you know?" said Maya. "We looked through the photo album Lila gave me" Yukina answered. "Glad you liked it" Maya said.

"I heard Hitomi's pregnant again" Yukina said. "Yep and unfortunately for me, it's another boy" Maya sighed. "That's to bad" Keiko said. "My mom's not the only one expecting" Maya said. "Who else?" Yukina asked. "Don't tell anyone else but Lila told me she's pregnant with Rogato's pup" Maya said quietly. "What?!" Boton said. "I said Lila's pregnant. She and Rogato decided to go all the way" Maya replied. "So how long has she been pregnant?" Yukina asked. "Three weeks" Maya replied. "Does Rogato know?" Boton asked. "Not yet" Maya said. "So why'd they break up?" Yukina asked. "They just weren't comfortable around each other" Maya said. "I'd like to see the look on his face when he finds out" Yukina giggled.

"So how are things between you and my bro?" Maya asked. "We're just friends" Yukina replied blushing. "She hasn't told him yet?" Maya asked the other two. "They haven't made any progress" Boton said. "I just don't know what to say" Yukina said. "I can see you'll need our help" Maya said. "How about we have a slumber party and give Yukina some advice?" Boton suggested. "Sound's like a plan. it'll give us a chance to get to know each other" Maya said smiling. "I'll have to call my parents" Keiko said walking out of the door.

After she made the call she went to the living room. "Yusuke, would you take my cloths home? I'm staying here for a slumber party" Keiko said. "Only if you give me something in return" Yusuke said slyly. Keiko walked to him and kissed him passionately. "That's all I wanted" Yusuke said as Keiko walked back to Yukina's room. "I give that kiss a four" Rogato said. "Why a four?" Yusuke asked a little pissed. "Some drool went down your check. Didn't it Kurama" Rogato said. Kurama nodded. Yusuke walked out the door grumbling stuff about stupid wolves. "I'd better catch up with him" Kurama said as he walked out the door.

Lets see I'm in a house with two pretty girls, my sister, and my brother who's asleep. What's a wolf to do? He thought. Then an image of Maya hurting him popped into his head. On second thought, I think I'll go to sleep he thought as he kicked off his shows and fell asleep on the couch.

Yukina's room

"So how does a girl go about hooking your brother?" Boton asked. "Well Riku's not the type to swoon over every girl he sees. But I think Yukina's a special case. Tell me a few things that went on between them" Maya said. "Well there was the time Riku went through his sleep cycle and ended up snuggling with Yukina for a day" Keiko said. "Yes and the time they fell asleep on the coach together" Boton added. "And earlier today when they fell asleep on each other." "Would you please stop" Yukina begged.

"So, have their been any heated up moments between you two that we don't know about" Maya asked. Yukina blushed. "It's a little embarrassing" she said. "Tell us" Boton said. "Well, after me and Riku left his village to find everyone we stopped for a rest. There was a hot spring nearby and I took a bath in it. I was attacked by a bird demon and Riku saved me. The bird had shredded my towel and Riku… he… he kinda… saw me naked" Yukina said blushing. "He what!?" Boton said. "So I take it he took a quick glance then covered his eyes" Maya said. "Actually he stared at me for a few seconds" Yukina said blushing deeper. "I never knew he had it in him. If he stared at you that long then he must feel the same way you do to him" Maya said. Better not let Hiei find out Boton thought.

"Well I think you should let him confess first" Maya said. "I agree" Boton said. "Yea you shouldn't pass up a cutie like him" Keiko said. "I guess your right" Yukina said.

"Good, now that that's done tell us a little about that Rogato guy" Boton said with a dreamy look. Keiko had a similar look. Why do girls always fall for my brothers? Maya asked herself. (Because they're damn hot) "Well you know Rogato got Lila pregnant but he's not the type to do that unless she wanted it. He's more outgoing than Riku and sometimes a bit stupid. He does have his serious side. He's an excellent warrior and pretty good with the sword. And from what Lila told me, a great kisser" Maya said. "I guess cuteness runs in the family" Boton said. "It's hard to believe you two have boyfriends" Maya said sarcastically. "Yes, but if things don't work out with Kurama Rogato's at the top of my list" Boton said. "I'd say he's number three on mine" Keiko said. Maya sweatdropped.

Next morning

The girls were in the living room chatting and drinking some tea. Riku was outside training and Yusuke and Kurama were with Kuwabara at the arcade. They all had pajamas on. Maya went to go get some more tea from the kitchen.

"Yipe!!!" Rogato said from the hallway. He stomped out and Boton and Keiko's eyes widened. Rogato was soaking wet and wearing noting but a bath towel. Maya walked in. "Rogato what are you doing walking around like that?" she asked. "Someone used up the hot water" Rogato replied. Maya did an anime fall. "Well forget the bath" Maya said. "No way I'm leaving this house till I take one" Rogato said crossing his arms on his chest. His towel started to slip off but he caught it before it showed anything. "Then wait in Riku's room" Maya said. "Why?" "Because I said so" Maya growled. "Nu uh" Rogato replied. He turned his back to her. His tail swished behind him. Maya started to push him to Riku's room. "You'll wait there" she said. "What's your problem? From the looks of your friends faces, they were enjoying the show" he teased. "Get in there" Maya said as she kicked him into Riku's room and closed the door behind him. She sighed and went to the others.

An interesting sight greeted her in the living room. Both Boton and Keiko were fixed in place with wide eyes. Boton was drooling a lot and Keiko's mouth hung open. Yukina waved her hand in front of Boton's face. "I think they've been paralyzed" Yukina said. Maya sweatdropped. "If you two hadn't noticed, he's gone" Maya said. Boton and Keiko snapped out of their trances. "Damn is he hot" Boton said. "Hot is an understatement" Keiko said. "Come on my brother's not that good looking" Maya said. "Why'd you send him away" Boton whined. "I'm not going to let my brother stand around half naked while two girls with boyfriends stare at him" Maya replied.

"Oh ladies" Rogato said from the entrance. They turned to him. He was still wearing nothing but a bath towel. "Miss me?" he said smiling. "ROGATO!!!" Maya yelled. She had an insane angry look on her face. Rogato backed up a little. Maya had somehow gotten her spear in her hands. "Uh… sis?" he said nervously. "You are so dead!!!" she said as she lunged at him. He dodged and took off out the door. "Get back here!!!" Maya yelled. "Correction, Rogato's number two on my list" Keiko said. Yukina sweatdropped.

Out side Riku stopped when he heard his sister yell. A few seconds later, Rogato ran out of the house in nothing but a towel with Maya chasing him in he pajamas. I don't want to know he thought before resuming his training. 

Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara walked to the temple to be greeted with the sight of Maya chasing Rogato with a curved spear. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" Rogato said with each step. "Stop running!!!" Maya said. "Who's the hottie with the spear?" Kuwabara asked staring at Maya. "That would be my sister" Riku said not stopping his training. "Does this happen a lot?" Kurama asked. "It will happen at least two more times today" Riku replied. Everyone sweatdropped.

"Excuse me" a voice said form behind them. They turned around and saw a UPS guy. "Package for a Rogato" he said. "It's finally here" Rogato said stopping. That was a mistake cause Maya caught him and to tell you what she did to him will mean I'd have to bring up the rating of my fic. Needless to say, Rogato went unconscious. "I'll sign for it" Riku said. "Okay, bring it up" the UPS guy said. Two other guys walked up carrying a huge crate. "Have a nice day" the UPS guy said before leaving with the other two. The other girls walked out. "Yukina, you wouldn't mind healing Rogato would you?" Riku asked. "Uh… sure" she said.

"Hey their gorgeous" Kuwabara said stepping next to Maya. "Uh… who are you?" she asked taking a step back. "I'm the great Kazuma Kuwabara" Kuwabara replied grinning slyly. Maya mouthed the words 'Help me.' "Hey Kuwabara I think I hear Shizuru coming" Yusuke said. "AH, hide me, hide me" Kuwabara cried running in circles. "Quick, run to the arcade" Kurama said. "See ya" Kuwabara said bolting down the steps. "Works every time" Yusuke said. "Have you seen Kazuma" Shizuru said out of nowhere. "Uh, he took off down the steps" Boton replied. "Thanks" Shizuru said before running after her brother. "That was weird" Kurama said.

They heard groaning coming from Rogato as he came to. "What did I do?" he asked Maya. "You were trying to seduce Boton and Keiko" she replied. "WHAT!!!" Yusuke and Kurama said at the same time. "Hey I just walked around in a bath towel. It's not my fault the hot water ran out" Rogato said. Yusuke and Kurama were stomping toward him glaring. "Uh… I think the hot water's ready" he said before bolting for the house. He'll never learn Riku thought.

A few minutes later Rogato returned wearing the outfit he had on the day before. "So what's in the package?" Yukina asked. "I almost forgot" Rogato said before he rushed toward the crate. He went behind it and started to pry the screws out. A few minutes later, he opened it but it was hidden behind the other walls. "My baby" he said. Could Lila have given birth so soon? Boton asked. The other walls were pushed down and everyone gasped. Standing where the crate once stood was one of the best looking motorcycles they'd have ever seen. It was a custom chopper. The tank and rear tire cover were panted dark blue and had stares painted on it. Over this were yellow flames and on the tank a wolf's head was at the head of the flames. "Sweet ride!" Yusuke said. "You don't know how much this baby cost me" Rogato said as he ran his hands on it. "Why was it delivered here?" Riku asked. "I wanted you to see me get it. They said yours should be done in about two months" Rogato said as he sat on the bike. "Now lets see what you can do" he said. He started it up and took off on the temple grounds doing all kinds of tricks. Boton and Keiko both had dreamy looks on their faces and Yusuke was staring dreamily at the bike. Riku merely shook his head and continued with his training.

After Rogato was done with his bike. He got his sword and headed for Riku. "How bout it?" he said readying his sword. "Your on" Riku replied getting into a fighting stance. "No one touch the bike" Rogato said. The brothers charged each other and started a duel. Everyone except Yusuke, who was drooling at the bike, watch them. "I think I've figured out why Riku wears that coat all the time and Rogato has his own coat" Boton said. "Why?" Yukina asked. "Because they look good fighting in them" she replied. The sparring went for another three hours.

Rogato and Maya stayed for three more days. The days that followed were all happy ones for the group. But all good times must come to an end cause the gang is about to met their toughest and most ruthless enemy to date.

Some where else in Japan

A demon cried out in pain as it fell to the ground dead. Anther soon followed. Around them were the bodies of several other demons. They were in a human town. Along with the demons were hundreds of dead humans all women, children, or old people. One demon remained standing. He was cowering in fear as a figure approached him. "Please spar me" it begged. "Why should I" the figure replied. In a flash, the demon was killed. The figure chuckled. "This massacre was just what I needed to let out my stress. I guess it's time I revealed myself. Prepare for your death Riku" the figure said before disappearing.   

Like I said I'm sorry the update took a while. Next chapter, the figure from the mirror reveals who he is. Review please.
