Everyday, after the sun set, all the children would gather outside the Urameshi house and wait for Mr. & Mrs. Urameshi to come outside and tell us stories. I would always tag along, even though I was a bit old for shinwa. I only went for I had nothing else to do.
The Urameshi's weren't that old~ only about 20. They had been married for two years. Well, that's what Mrs. Urameshi said. Nobody knew their first name, but no one cared. Mr. Urameshi was a good storyteller. Everyday he would tell a different part of everyone's favorite story- Shinwa ni tsuite Reikai Tantei.
It all started two days ago. The Urameshi's moved in next door to me. All, the children, and myself, gathered around the newly occupied house. Everybody was talking about who they thought moved in, and it got all quiet when he stepped out.
Even though he was my elder by 4 years, he was a god. Tall, muscular, black hair slicked back. He had a boyish, immature look to him, but you could tell he had faced rough times and was full of wisdom. He also gave of some weird energy signal. Not that I could actually tell, but there was something…different about him. His chocolate eyes shone brightly as he looked at all the curious children gathered outside his house.
Then she came. I already knew they were married. I could see the wedding ring on her finger. It was a gold band, set with assorted stones of color and shape, obviously not from this world. She caught me staring at it and winked. She turned her attention to her husband. "Itoshii, I believe they want to hear a story." He nodded his head and sat down in the chair on the porch. All the children sat down, with eager smiles. I went up the steps and turned to the woman. "Do you need any help?" She smiled and indicated to go inside. She then whispered something in her husband's ear. He chuckled softly and kissed her on the cheek.
I followed Mrs. Urameshi into her house. Rows of boxes filled up the living room. She told me to take the blue box and bring it into the kitchen. As I started unpacking, she began to sing. Her voice was sweet.
Kon'ya mo togatta byoushin Toki wo kirikizande 'ru
Chi chi chi…
Itsu made mo katazukania Hoomuwaaku nadedashi
SON OF A GUN!
Korogaru yume na n' da you Oikakete itai no wa
Tomareba nigete yuku yo Ki wo nuicha dame na no sa
Sou sa Yakusoka wa tsumi Sakki mo kyanseru no beru
Ru Ru Ru…
Itsu made mo miete konai Kimi wa Mebiusu no Goal
OH MY GOD!
Namida mo nai hito to wa Tsukiaitaku nai no sa
Kanashimi daite 'ru toki Kono de hikiyosetai
Korogaru yume na n' da yo Oikakete itai no wa
Ashita wo aozamete mo Itsu ka tsukande miseru
Korogaru yume na n' da yo Oikakete itai no wa
Tomareba nigete yuku yo Ki wo nuich dame na no sa
Korogaru yume na n' da yo…..*
I just stared at her. It's a sad but sweet song. Mrs. Urameshi turned around and caught me again. She blushed and continued packing. I smiled a bit.
Then his voice floated through the open windows. He sounded like and angel. She must've thought the same. "Come let us go outside and listen to my husband tell shinwa's." I nodded and followed her onto the porch. I sat on the railing as she sat next to him. He closed his eyes and slowly began his story.
