__Walking in shadows of what he used to be______

Chapter 5 : A weekend with the great Uremsssy!!

About four years later.........

Kimi was nine years old. Alot had changed over the past four years.But a few things hadn't, she was still getting picked on and harrased. She had become more angry since she was five, and become more distant as time went on. With her pride, she played it off constantly as if nothing was wrong. But in reality she was troubled, feeling her self falling with no one to catch her.. Everything got worse over the course of the past four years. Kurama had seen right through her, he had tried to talk to her but she shut him out. It was all in Kami's hands now, he would always say after he failed to talk sense into the girl.

-Present-

Kurama had to go to work in an hour. Recently, he had gotten a job.The job was more trouble some than it was worth in his opinion. But he needed the money. He was going to loose the house if he hadn't gotten a better job.When he worked in the flower shop by the house. He didn't get enough money, it was okay a few years ago. But the bills had been raised. As well as the morgage. Now, he worked as an excecutive at a computer software company.

Being an executive called for long hours at the office, so he was constantly leaving his friends daughter in the hands of a sitter. Which the child didn't like very much. Kimi hated Botan. Kurama knew, but he couldn't leave the child with a mortal.

The office called him today, something about having a serious problem in the adverstising department. So he'd have to fix things himself. And he knew well enough that this was going to take all weekend to straighten out.

Botan was sick unfortunatly, so he had called everyone except Kuwabara and Yuske. He wasn't going to talk to Kuwabara about watching Kimi because Hiei would kill him if he left Kimi with that bafoon. As Hiei would say. Everyone was busy but suggested Yusuke. So he stuck with the Yusuke idea. Kuwabara was out of the question.

Kurama held Kimi's hand tightly, being slightly nervous. He was nearly sweating bullets. This was his last chance. He thought to himself. As they walked up the path to his old friends house.

His car's in the driveway. I hope he's home, Kurama thought to himself as he smiled at Kimi. Hiding his nervousness from her. He could tell she was nervous too by the look in her eyes. And by the way she was fidgetting. Kimi had never met Yuske. This was her first time.

Kurama knew that Yusuke would be able to handle Kimi. So he wasn't worried about that. It was the slim chance that he wouldn't be up to watching her for the weekend.

She looked happily around at the scenery trying to keep her mind ocupied. There were a few birds around she noticed. It was also very quiet neighborhood.

Kimi walked at Kurama's side, hand in hand. She began to swing her arm back and forth as she walked.Agitating poor Kurama. But she was doing this on purpose out of bordom. Testing his limits was something she always did out of boredom.

Standing in front of Yusuke's house, Kurama stood, still holding Kimi's hand.But was having a hard time holding on to her. She was as hyper as ever, he sighed to himself as he reached his hand up to the doorbell. Pressing the bell twice, he prayed his old friend was home. He crossed his fingers behind his back.

He rang the doorbell again, and let his hand fall to his side. Waiting a few seconds the door swung open.

The hyperactive nine year old at his side was humming softly to herself, when the door swung open to reveal a tall man. Short black hair, slicked back, he hadn't changed at all from the last time he saw him.. It was Yusuke, he hasn't changed a bit. Kurama thought to himself.

"Hey, Kurama, how's it hangin!" Yuske joked when he opened the door. He hadn't seen Kurama in almost ten years. He wasn't really a spirit detective anymore, Hiei had taken over for him. Which Hiei didn't want to do but did it anyway.

"Come on in!" He added as the two followed him inside. He shut the door when the two entered the house. Kieko had told him that they were comming, Kurama guessed. That was nice of her, he smiled at the thought as the followed Yuske into the living room. He still lived at his mothers house, but his mother didn't live there. She died from cancer only two years earlier.

Kimi followed lazily at Kurama's side, eyeing the tall black haired man. Her dad said something about him. No much though, from what she could remember. Kimi didn't know why she was here. But soon figured out.

They were now in the living room. " Can I ask you a favor?" Kurama asked trying not to sound desprite. "It depends, what do you need?" Yuske replied warily.. " Can you keep an eye on Kimi for the weekend?" Kurama asked, hoping Yuske would take her off his hands. So he could go to work and not worry about the girl.She'd be in good hands.

"Why not," Yuske smiled. "Thanks Yusuke your a life savor!" Kurama cheered happily as Kimi scowled deeply.But then smiled when she thought about the fact that her dad had known him. She could ask this man about her dads historey.

" Always," Yuske smiled as he looked down at the small girl who was hiding behind Kurama. He bent down so he could see her eye to eye. She stuck her head out from behind his leg, "Uremessy!" she laughed softly as a blush crossed her face.

"Hey! Its URAMESHIE!!!" Yuske corrected, as Kurama laughed into his hand. Trying to stifle his laughter but failing miserably. " Sorry," she apologized. As Yusuke got to his feet, standing upright, and facing Kurama." So that's Hiei's daughter isn't it?" Yuske said bluntly a little shocked at how much she resembled Hiei.

She was wearing a similar outfit to his. It was really cute on her, he thought to himself. If her eyes were both crison and her hair was shorter and spiky, she'd be a Hiei look alike, He laughed mentally..

"One and only!!" Kimi cried happily knocking him out of his thoughts.. "Yusuke, make sure she takes her riddelin in the morning", Kurama warned as he handed a pill bottle to Yuske. " She has ADHD, just to warn you." He added, awnsering Yuske's question before he even asked.

"Oh, Okay," The twenty-four year old said eyeing Kurama strangly as he rubbed the back of his head. "Yusuke I have to go, and try not to be to ruff on her. She's sensitive" Kurama said as he turned to leave. "Thanks again, Yusuke. I know she'll be in good hands. Theres some stuff in her backpack too," he said as he dropped a packpack and headed out the door.

Standing out on the porch. Yusuke and Kimi waved goodbye as they watched Kurama pull out of the driveway."Alright Kurama I'm see you sunday night!" Yusuke smirked as he waved goodbye to Kurama, watching him drive out of the driveway. He gripped the little girls hand and led her back in the house.

Stepping back into the house, he looked down at the child at his feet when they had walked into the living room. "Hey squirt, hungry?" He asked her as he looked down.

She wasn't very tall, reaching a little higher than Yusuke's hips. She shook her head. "Nope, I had mcdonalds!" She smiled cocking her had to her side letting her long raven locks sway to the side. " Thats good, I don't want to cook!" He sighed, releived for the most part. He didn't want to cook.

"Can I ask you somethin? Uremessy?" She asked as she fiddled with her foot, rubbing it on the rug in a circlular motion."It's Uresmeshi," He said firmly. "Just call me Yusuke." He sighed.

"Otay, Yusuke, can you tell me stuff about my dad?" She asked, as she stood infront of him. It was a stupid question but she was curious about her dads past. And her mom too.

"Your daddy never told you anything!" Yusuke smirked as he walked over to the couch and slumpt down into it.

"Alright squirt, its time for a history lessson," Yusuke smirked evily. Hinting for her to sit next to him. He really never told her anything about his past did he? He thought to himself as the child sat next to him on the couch.

Little did Yusuke know, Kimi wasn't supposed to know the shit that he was about to tell her. She knew her dad, but not very well. He was different now than he used to be, which she would find out soon.Yusuke prepared himself and began to tell the child a bit about her father..................
