Surprise {Chapter Four: Home Sweet Home} By: Kikyouko A/N: Sorry I took so long to update. It's just I'm not getting enough reviews. Oh...well...Enjoy this chapter!
Yusuke laughed along with Hiei and Kurama. It seemed they had forgotten their whole conversation, but Yusuke sure didn't. He was worried about Keiko and what she was going to do now. Yusuke clutched his briefcase tightly in one hand as Kurama's and Hiei's words totally slipped passed him. He was in such a worry he didn't even hear part of the conversation.
"So what do you think?" Kurama said raising an eyebrow, as he noticed Yusuke's lack of listening skills. "Kurama to Yusuke! Do you read me!?" Kurama added to play along. Yusuke swung back in the chair.
"Oh. Think about what?" Yusuke asked unaware of what they had been talking about the whole time. Hiei and Kurama whispered something to each other for a few moments and pulled away. Hiei held back laughs.
"Well...Do you like brown, black, white, gold, or another color kitten?" Kurama burst in laughs as he looked out the window. Yusuke glared and smirked. He turned towards Kurama.
"Well." He started. "I like green ones." He said just to catch their attention. "AND WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET AN IDEA I LIKED KITTENS!?" Yusuke asked in a yell. Kurama laughed and pointed in an upward direction. Puu was floating just two inches from Yusuke's thick, black oiled hair. Yusuke glared once more. "Dammit, Puu! You're always ruining my fun!" He yelled flicking the blue creature in the forehead which sent him flying into a cushion of the sofa.
Hiei took off his sword and his case then laid it down on a table. Kurama and Yusuke watched as he dropped down in a chair and drooped his eyes some what. Yusuke scratched his head in puzzlement. Kurama smiled.
"You know, It is rare to see him sleep." He continued. "This would be the third time I have seen it myself. It's hard to believe he gets any sleep. I mean with Mukuro constantly bugging him to get to work...It seems quite impossible." He finished with a little sigh.
"Yeah I know. I've seen him sleep twice and that was only today! I wonder how Mukuro is doing anyways? I haven't seen her nor my father in a few years. Maybe I should pay them a visit." He smiled and stood once more. "That's just what I am going to do. When Hiei gets up tell him I had to leave for something important." He yelled as he ran out of the door into the white iced snow.
Yusuke stopped at a tree and thought to himself for a moment. It was the spot Keiko and him had first met in kindergarten. Soon he began to think of the season and the year.
"This is my December." He muttered under his breath. "This is my time of the year. This is my December...This is all so clear. This is my December. This is my snow covered heart." He looked back up at the tree and smiled. "Yeah. I still remember some of it. My father taught me that song when I was ten. I can't remember the rest, but I know it'll come back to me when I see him again." He finished sighing as he continued his way to the Makai, leaving the tree behind.
Yusuke trailed of into the white wonderland of snow. The ice blew in the wind and hit his lips each time a breeze came through. He finally reached a point in the Nigen Kai where a portal would open if you were to say a password.
"Now what was it." Yusuke began. "Hm...I know this! Dammit! I just can't think of it!" Yusuke yelled into the air. Soon huge gusts of wind passed him, pushing him back some. There stood a figure blurred by the whirling snow.
"Miss me, mate?" He called through the air. The voice blew past Yusuke and he soon began to laugh. The wind stopped and there stood Jin. His long red hair finally stopped blowing and he walked over to Yusuke.
"Yeah sure did! I couldn't sleep knowing there was someone just like me still alive and out there!" Yusuke yelled in excitement. "I haven't seen you since I pounded you in the ground at Dark Tournament!" Yusuke said relieved. Jin just laughed and sighed.
"So I heard ya won? What 'cha get?" Jin asked. Yusuke smiled.
"I got Genkai back. I'm glad of it too. I can't believe that crap they pulled afterwards!" Yusuke replied in a pissed off tone. "They went and got themselves killed so Koenma had to grant our wish." He finished.
"Damn. And you all worked so hard for it. Well we got our prize! Since the tournament's walls went down...We were told that we could have the island and now we're putting it to some good use!" Jin said quickly. Yusuke blinked and smiled.
"Glad you got what you wanted, even though you didn't win." Yusuke responded with a smile, then turned back to the portal. "So Jin...Do you know the password to this portal? I can't seem to remember it." Jin laughed.
"Of course I know the password. What demon wouldn't!? I didn't know humans knew it, but the hell with it! The password is World of Blood!" Jin said without taking on breath of air.
"Yeah thanks. I got to go now. I have to pay a quick visit to someone." Yusuke said. "They're probably expecting me." He called out the password into the wind once more and huge black hole appeared. It was the portal to the demon world.
Yusuke turned and waved a final goodbye to the wind master and was off to the Makai. He jumped into the portal and appeared in the middle of the Makai fields. There was nothing but grass and seaside view there. Yusuke looked and seen a huge castle, where of course his father Lord Raizen lived. Yusuke continued his journey towards the castle, pushing the weeds and brush out of his way.
"Better hurry. I'm NOT in the mood to fight anymore demons." He said to himself as he was halfway there. He finally got to the doors of the castle and was stopped by a guard.
"Halt! Who goes!?" The guard yelled in a nasty tone. Yusuke could tell that they probably wouldn't let him in because of his reputation, but he decided to give it a try.
"My name is Yusuke Urameshi. I am the son of Lord Raizen." He said nicely. "Now let me in before I have to jack up your ass!" He soon got violent and yelled. The guard glared and made a type of hissing sound.
"You're NOT getting through here, boy!" He yelled louder. Yusuke took his hand from his pocket and curled it up into a fist. He laughed and continued stepping forward until he couldn't go any further.
"Then I guess you'll have to meet Robert!" He snickered, laughed, and then smiled. His fist got tighter as he waited for the guard to say something. Anything at all.
"Who in the seventh hell is Robert!?" The guard asked with his sword raised up high. "I have never in my life heard of a Robert in the Makai!" He said raising his sword a bit more.
"Oh well...You have now!" Yusuke said smiling as he punched him square in the jaw. He went flying into a pile of logs and was soon out for a time. Yusuke continued his way to the castle door. He pushed it open and stepped in to end up face to face with his father, Raizen.
"Yusuke, how did you get in here without the guards?" Raizen questioned as soon as he seen his son standing there before him. Yusuke looked back outside and pointed.
"You mean those guards?" He asked as he kept pointing to some guards lying on their faces. Raizen looked out the door and seen where Yusuke was pointing.
"You knocked out mine and Mukuro's guards!? Yusuke your not even supposed to be in the Makai!" He said walking in circles thinking of what to do. Yusuke blinked innocently.
"Yeah well they said I wasn't aloud in and didn't believe you were my father!" He yelled and continued. "Hey, did you know I won the Dark Tournament with my team?" He asked, looking back up at his father.
"They did right. Wait a darn minute! Team Urameshi was your team!? Since when are you a spirit detective!?" He asked in quite a mad or angered tone. Yusuke looked down to the floor.
"Team Urameshi was made up when I was invited to the Dark Tournament. It's not like I wanted to go and about the spirit detective thing...I died when I was hit by a car and, and...then I wanted another chance and Koenma told me only if I were to work for him. I agreed but didn't know it was going to get me into this much trouble." Yusuke sighed. Raizen looked amazed at Yusuke explanation. It was kind of rare for Yusuke to tell the truth and not make up anything to have fun.
"So Koenma forced you?" Raizen asked in a matter of question. Yusuke laughed.
"NO! I had an option of staying dead or being alive and getting one more chance, but I had to work for the Spirit World if I did or Koenma would get in a lot of trouble AGAIN!" He admitted. Raizen stared and smiled gently.
"Well then, my son. You are to stay with me for a bit." He replied in a nicer and gentler tone. Yusuke blinked once more and smiled back as his eyes sparkled.
"You mean that don't you?" Yusuke questioned.
"Yes. I do." Raizen said smiling, and allowing Yusuke to walk inside.
