I own nothing. Thought it'd be cool if I did. Cuz if I did Kuwabara and Yusuke would be making out 24-7!

Kurama:...

Hiei: This is why I'm glad you don't...

=============================================================================

"Hey!"

Yusuke smiled at his best friend, trying to catch up to him. Kuwabara turned around smiling, and waited for him. His hands where placed on his hips, and he rolled his eyes. "Your late."

Yusuke finally reached him and smiled.

"Yeah well deal with it!"

The two began to walk around when Yusuke began to notice something. They weren't walking on the streets, they where in some sort of tower, and walking down stairs as the building shook.

Yusuke pressed himself to the wall, loosing balance. Kuwabara continued to walk, not even shaking with the force of the trembling. "Kuwabara?" Yusuke called out.

The copper haired boy turned, and looked back at him with his innocent eyes. His blue eyes seemed to glow and he smiled. "You need help...its okay Urameshi." Kuwabara began to approach him, as the force of the shaking made Yusuke fall.

He looked up as his friend reached him. Kuwabara squatted and held out his arms in a friendly manner. "I'll always be here for you." Yusuke smiled and reached up his hand. But he stopped.

A red string was tied to his little finger. It glowed ruby red, and shone with a soft beauty. It swirled in the air, and connected him to...

"A kid?"

A small child hidden by shadows replaced Kuwabara. "I'll protect you!" A soft sweet voice said. Yusuke heard a loud crash, and turned his head. Once that was done he looked back expecting to see the kid, but Kuwabara was back.

He had his hand over his chest, and red ribbons poured out from between his fingers. "Kuwab...Kuwabara?" Yusuke began to shake. Kuwabara looked at his best friend and tears dripped down his cheeks.

"Uh...Yusuke..."

Something dark grabbed him, and dragged him away from the black haired youth, pulling him into the depths of an unknown abyss. As he fell he reached for Yusuke crying faintly out, "Yusuke..."

"NOOOO!" Yusuke cried closing his eyes.

He saw Kuwabara starring death in the eyes, as Meji powered up a blast filling his mouth. "Kuwabara!!" Yusuke screamed trapped behind the wall. Kuwabara looked at the spot Yusuke and the others had stood before sent back into the past.

He smiled, and lowered his head. Liquid crystals dripped from his eyes, and the yellow blast was fired. He looked bravely back up, tears still dripping down his cheeks, and closed his eyes, a faint smile on his face.

It was drawing closer, and Kuwabara was wrapped in warm yellow light.

"Yusuke..." He whispered and the blast-

::::

"NOOOO!! KUWABARA!"

Yusuke shot up from his fevered dreams and grabbed the first thing in front of him, which screamed just as loudly as he was.

"LE'GO OF ME! SISTER! SISTER!"

Yusuke released the thing that screamed so loudly, and wearily focused on the blurry creature. He blinked a few times and finally made out what was in front of him.

A small boy with a mop of red hair that almost touched his shoulders, and big blue eyes. He had a beautiful little face, his skin pale and resembling the moon light. He wore a blue shirt, and black pants which where hardly seen. For he also had on a pair of yellow rain boots, which went past his knees. They where clearly too big, and belonged to a man not a boy.

He moved around, and Yusuke smiled slightly as he watched him walk. He moved very slowly, pressing his toes down to the floor quickly to keep the boots on.

"You scared me!" The boy hmphed angrily. Yusuke didn't respond but looked around, finding himself in a living room. He didn't have time to observe as three people came running out of the hall.

"YUSUKE!"

Kurama wrapped his friend in a loving embrace, and smiled. "You woke up!" Bandages decorated him, and Yusuke realized they also where around his own body, Looking over at Hiei he also saw white bandages.

"You Baka...nearly died." Hiei grumbled, trying to mask the relief. The third person was a young woman. She was 17 and scooped up the six year old protectively, cradling him in her arms. The small boy wrapped his arms around her neck smiling.

She had dark brown eyes, and a softer brown colored hair. She wore her hair in a ponytail, which went a little past her shoulders. She wore a black dress, blue house shoes on her feet.

"What...where am I?" Yusuke asked placing a bandaged hand on his head.

"We where just about to find that out." Hiei stated looking at the girl coldly.

The little child glared at him, "You be nice to my sister! She save your lives you big fat head!"

Hiei went red and growled, "Fat head!?"

"Thats enough young man!" She set him down, and looked sternly down at him,

"Go get out of Daddy's boots. Go on." The boy pouted and stomped out of the room.

The girl bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry we lost are parents recently, he is going through a tough time."

"You live her all alone?" Kurama asked frowning.

She nodded but then smiled, "As long as I have my brother, I'll be fine. Hes the only family I have left now."

"How did we get here?" Yusuke asked very lost.

"My little brother was walking home and found you. He came to get me, and we dragged you here. You've all been sleeping for two days." She turned to Yusuke, "You...talk in your sleep."

Yusuke blinked confused. "I'm sorry your friend...Kuwabara was it? Well, I'm sorry he was killed." The room went silent and Yusuke bowed his head. "I called the cops, and they'll be down here for questions as soon as they can."

'Great' All three of the Rekai thought grumpily.

"Strange that your friend's name was Kuwabara. It happens to be our family name."

The three starred at for a second, then turned to look around the room. A suspicion built up in them as they began to notice several things that they had all seen before.

"What did you say your name was?" Kurama asked cautiously.

She smiled.

"Its Shizuru. Shizuru Kuwabara."

"And I'm Kazuma Kuwabara! A super hero!"

The group turned to see the boy had tied his sisters bra on his head, and had towel around his neck. Shizuru's body trembled and she went beat red. He face twisted with anger and she screamed, "YOU LITTLE BRAT! C'MERE!"

"AHHHHHHHH! I DIDN'T THINK MY SISTER WOULD BE A BAD GUY!!"

"YOU PEST GET OVER HERE!"

As Shizuru chased the small boy down the hall the two demons and a half demon starred at each other. "Thats Kuwabara...and Shizuru..." Kurama gasped. "We :are: in the past!" Hiei gasped shocked.

"Kuwabara?"

The two friends looked down at the half demon concerned. They saw his eyes flash, and they knew he remembered the painful separation that had taken place two days ago. They watched Yusuke's face silently, knowing his tough exterior had broken. Tears had weld up in his brown eyes, and mechanically he turned looking at the doorway.

"K-Kuw-Kuwa-." Yusuke pulled his knees up and began to sob.

Little Kuwabara had managed to escape his sister, and starred at the crying man. He too had heard him cry out for this Kuwabara person. At first he thought he was talking about him, but he wasn't dead like the other Kuwabara.

He let the towel fall to the floor, and pulled the bra off his head. Silently he approached, and placed a small fleshy hand on Yusuke's bare shoulder. Shizuru had removed him of his shirt, for his chest had suffered much damage.

Kuwabara hugged his arm gently not wanting to hurt Yusuke, and reached up patting Yusuke's head with difficulty.

"Its okay mista'. Its gonna be all okay. Your friend is up with my mommy and daddy now. Momma takes good care of everyone! Its okay." Kurama and Hiei looked down at the sweet child, and starred at him. Though he looked different this was Kuwabara.

Kurama turned away, sitting in a chair, and began to cry. His dear friend's fate unknown, but that was so large...he couldn't have survived. Hiei looked at this little boy who had closed his eyes, and comforted Yusuke with a sweet brotherly tenderness.

Hiei growled as he felt tears fill his eyes, and stormed away walking to face the window.

Yusuke peeked out of his arms to look at Kuwabara, and hugged him placing his head on his shoulder. "Its okay. Don't be emb-embar-embaressed," Kuwabara smiled as he got that hard word out, "let it all out. Mama used to say 'You cry with your heart, and not with the pain your feeling from an injury.' So don't be worried about crying."

Kuwabara got up on his tiptoes, "I won't tell anyone."

Yusuke sobbed harder. He picked up the boy and held him. "Hes gone, Kuwabara's gone!" The small boy continued to pat Yusuke's head. "Nuh-uh! I'm right here!" He said not aware that Yusuke wasn't talking about him.

But then again, he really was.

Shizuru stood in the doorway watching the three friends mourn. She focused on Yusuke, and her little brother with sad eyes. She sensed several things about them.

For one they weren't human.

But they where good.

Another thing was that they didn't seem to be form this place...this time.

Shizuru watched and went in the kitchen to make them honey and tea. They all needed something sweet to lift the spirits in this room. She smiled at her brother.

'Your such a good boy...I don't ever want to lose you.'

If you thought about these words, you would give a very sad bitter laugh. She has lost him. Just not today...she lost him two days ago, in another time and age.
