. Screw it, I'm writing the next chapter before I lose the idea!! So if the grammar is worse than normal I am so sorry I'm typing with only one hand so Uh...this might be a tad shorter than expected.

Hiei: Hahahaha your hands bandaged

Your the one who probable lit my hand on fire in the first place....

Hiei: shrugs

DamX you....

OH!! Btw I'm dressing up as Kuwabara for Sundays akon in Texas! I'm sooo excited.

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

Yusuke watched as the small boy ran through the park, running away from a girl. He'd just put a cricket down her back, and she didn't seem to appreciate his "generosity" with the bug.

Shizuru watched Yusuke openly, a pink tint to her cheeks. No one had ever been so close to her brother, none of her boyfriends had even bothered to bother with Kazuma.

Yusuke looked over at her cocking his head, "Hot?"

"What!?" She asked with a small squeak.

"Your cheeks are pink..."

"Oh I must have go-gotten a sunburn." Shizuru turned away blushing, Yusuke starring in confusion. Another few days had passed and everyone's injuries were healing nicely.

Yusuke's heart still remained bleeding though. Bleeding for the loss of his best friend. But to Kurama's and Hiei's bad fortune, Yusuke was obviously trying to start his friendship all over with Kuwabara. This little one.

Kurama and Hiei sat at the other bench glancing at him. "This isn't good. Not only is Yusuke getting much too attached to the younger version of the idiot, but we're completely rewriting the past!" Hiei growled throwing up his arms.

Kurama nodded and watched Kuwabara, who now was giving the small girl flowers, for she has slipped and skinned her knees. His chest tightened and he whispered, "I don't want to go back...I don't want to go back to see Kuwabara's dead body...spread all over the walls and floor." Kurama let tears slide down his cheeks, "I never thought I'd get so attached, but I did..."

"In honest truth, I don't want to go back to see that either."

Kurama looked at Hiei's angry miserable profile, and the small demon growled, "But we have to...We can't change what happened. If we do, the future, :are: future will be in danger. Everything could change."

Hiei looked sternly at Kurama, "How do you think Kuwabara will react when he meets :us: again? Or how about the fact that we don't age. Hoe about that?"

Hiei sighed. "We're stuck. Go home, and see a bad future, or fuXk it up even worse by staying. We'll throw everything out of whack!! The natural order of things will be nothing but shiX if we stay!!"

"Why are you telling me? We need to tell Yusuke..."

Hiei looked at Kurama and sighed, "I know...but I don't...know how to tell him. If I was in his shoes, and it was you..." Hiei looked at Kurama and swallowed, "I'd kill whoever suggest to take me back to where you weren't..." Kurama smiled, and lifted Hiei's hand kissing it. "That was sweet, Hiei."

"Goto Hell Fox."

Hiei flushed turned away, and Kurama sighed a bit hurt. Hiei placed his arm around him, and licked the red head's neck, smirking devilishly at him. Then quite suddenly offered a true smile, "Sorry..." Kurama smiled and moved in for a kiss when small hands touched his leg.

Both demons suffered a full body blushed, as Kuwabara looked up at them, blinking with curiosity. "Uh...."

Kuwabara shurgged, "Grown ups...your all a bunch of weirdoes." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a bunch of flowers. "Here! I brung you a present!" Kurama smiled at the word 'brung.' He was tempted to correct him, but instead accepted the flowers smiling.

"What are these for?"

"I saw you cryin'. 'Usuke, you, an' Hiei seem so sad. You must've reallllllly like the other Kuwabara." Kuwabara looked back at the girl who he had given flowers. She was now playing and making a flower crown with them.

"They cheered her up, so I thought it'd cheer you up." He smiled cutely. "I'm gonna go play now!"

The two watched him, and Kurama smiled, when the small girl came up to him and offered him the crown in front of other boys. They of coursed laughed, but Kuwabara took them placing them proudly on his head smiling. The girl beamed and skipped off to her mother to go home, Kuwabara still wearing the crown after she'd left.

"He's treated girls with respect since day one." Kurama laughed.

"Phe...built in honor code?"

::::::::::::::::::::::

Yusuke carried a slumbering Kuwabara home, a flower crown on the sleeping child's head. He held him closely, pressing his node into the orange curls. This was just like having his best friend back, except better.

Instead of holding a deathly injured Kuwabara, he held the small Kuwabara, who slept peacefully in his arms.

Yusuke glanced at Shizuru a bit confused. She held onto his arm, her head resting on his shoulder. She'd been acting pretty odd.

He looked back at Kuwabara.

It was okay...he could stay like this, holding the younger form of Kuwabara in his arms.

And he wouldn't have to go back to that place.

The place where Kuwabara didn't live. Where he didn't exist any more.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

A small boy sat crying, hands covering his eyes. Something soft was placed on his head.

Curious brown eyes saw a cat stuffed animal perched pleasantly on his head. Small hands touched it, finding another set of hands.

"Come on, don't do that. Crying isn't fun."

A smile filled the sad boys eyes. "Come play with me."

Yusuke blinked and found himself watching two little boys playing. "Who are you two?" The faceless children looked at him. Only small laughter was heard.

The one that had been crying suddenly screamed, and the other boy fell down on he ground. Yusuke picked the fallen boy up and found he was holding Kuwabara. Not the young Kuwabara, but the one from his time. The one who he fought side by side with, who would buy him cigarettes though he hated them himself, the one who would argue with him and try to attack him if he could.

His Kuwabara.

The young Man lay in his arms, eye blank and dark. His head turned to the left, and his face fell off...

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Everyone in the house woke up to Yusuke's loud scream.

Shizuru, Kurama, and Hiei rushed in the room, to see Yusuke screaming, and crying out Kuwabara's name. Little Kuwabara was climbing up on the bad, and latched onto Yusuke's neck, little tears dripping down his face.

Once Kuwabara latched on Yusuke stilled, and just lay sobbing weakly.

Hiei felt Kurama cling to him, and looked at his friend, his comrade.

'Yusuke...what is happening to you?'

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

Preview for next chapter!

Hiei begins to wonder if Yusuke loved Kuwabara, and if that's why he's taking this so badly. Shizuru asks Yusuke about Kuwabara, wanting to know more about the man with her little brothers name. And...Kurama finds out how to fix the necklace...but why won't he tell the others.
