Chapter 4
Yusuke smiled again, closing his eyes. Because he did, he crashed right in to some one, and fell backwards onto the ground. "Oh, sorry about that..." a deep voice trailed off.
"Yusuke?"
The raven haired man looked up and his eyes widened when he saw who stood before him.
It was Kuwabara.
"K-Kuwabara? Is that really you?" Yusuke asked, shocked at seeing his former team mate, and old friend.
"Wow Urameshi, I thought I'd never see you again.....where in the hell have you been all this time?! And you never called? Visited? Wow your more of a punk now then you were when you were 14!" the orange haired young man's eyes flashed angrily and he crossed his arms.
Yusuke smiled sheepishly, "Well you know me; I'm sorta lazy!"
Kuwabara's scowl faded and he let out a hearty laugh. "I see you haven't changed too much!" he extended his hand and helped Yusuke up, who was grinning.
Kuwabara smiled, and gazed at his friend. Just a moment ago he told Yusuke he hadn't changed, and indeed, physically he hadn't. He still had the same dark chocolate colored eyes, he was tall and sturdy, his muscles visible through the dark green t-shirt he wore. His hair was still black, but instead of it being slicked back, like when he was a teen, it was longer and shaggy. He obviously hadn't had it cut in a while. He still had a deep voice, and the same laughing crooked smirk graced his tan face.
He was still Yusuke Urameshi.
But as Kuwabara looked examined his friend for the first time after many ears, he did look different. Sort of. He looked....wiser....like his time away had changed him, for the better. And he was stronger. The orange haired young man could feel the others ki, and it was powerful, even in the calm state he was in.
"Well, it's good to see you Urameshi" he said, clapping the other on the back roughly. Kuwabara was all smiles, until something dawned on him. He slapped Yusuke in the back of the head, earning a shot of protest from him.
"What the hell was that for!?"
"What do you think baka!? 7 years disappeared to Kami knows where, and you suddenly turn up?! And right after Keiko-....." He stopped him self. Yusuke felt a pang of guilt as he saw his friend frown deeply, his eyes glazed over with unshed tears. "Urameshi....where have you been all this time? Why didn't you come back?" Kuwabara asked softly.
Yusuke sighed, and stuffed his hands in his pocket. "I don't know.... I just...need to get away...you know?"
"But for seven years?"
"Well, yea. I-I felt so out of place in this world.....I thought it would be better if I just left. It's not liked I would be missed anyway...." That statement earned him another slap upside the head.
"Would you stop that!? Jesus, you'd think YOU would have changed after all this time! Going from happy to sad to mean....you emotional basket case!"
"How can you say that Urameshi!? of course you would be missed! You are the strongest person on earth! And a lot of the time, we really could have used you! And after you left.....we were all so determined to keep in contact with each other, Yukina, Keiko, Botan, Kurama and I. We continued to do stuff together all the time, but it was never the same with out you. It was all.....so awkward. But still, we all remained friends. Like nothing had changed. But the truth was, everything DID change. We all missed you so much, and we were forever wondering where you were, and how you were doing. And Keiko.......do you have any IDEA at how much you hurt her?! She was mortified when you left! She missed you so much.......and it hurt. It hurt to see her that way....."
Yusuke felt like he was being punched in the gut. If he had know all this, he would have come back for a while......But he honestly believed no one cared about him. How wrong he was.
Kuwabara turned away from him. "Come on. We're leaving"
"Leaving?" Yusuke echoed.
"Yes. I think its time you become reacquainted with your old friends. Preferably Yukina; she too has missed you..."
Yusuke nodded, fearing what he would have to go threw next. Yukina was one of Keiko's closet friends; what would SHE have to say about the girls death? The punching feeling was back again, and all Yusuke wished was that it would leave him.
