"Urameshi meet Shinomuto."

The doorbell rang at the Shinomuto's.

Maku opened the door, to see a man wearing a business suit, and a hat, holding a suitcase. "Hello. Um, can I come in? I have a meeting."

Maku slammed the door. "HEY MOM, CAN THIS FREAKSHOW COME IN? He says he has a meeting."

"That's not nice to call people." Mikiko said, walking over to stand by Maku. "Who is it?" She asked, opening the door.

"I'm going to lay down because I have a headache..." Maku headed to his bedroom.

"My name is Tien Shinhan. I'm here to see Mrs. Urameshi." The business man said.

"Okay, come in." Mikiko let the Tien in, and went to get Atsuko.

When they seated in the front room, he began talking about the house fire and insurance stuff.

"I'm here to discuss about your house burning down."


"Fox, you're a stupid dunce." Shi pointed her finger at him, scolding.

"Me? What'd I'd do?" Fox asked.

"You went out without permission!" Shi said.

"I told Maku." Fox replied.

"Argh." Shi sighed.

"Besides, a man's mutated dog attacked me. And I went to follow him, but a creepy jail breakout tried to kill me, and blew up their house."

"In other words, it's your fault?" Shi said.

"Yep, it's his fault." Yusuke said, walking out onto the back porch where Shi and Fox were talking.

"At least Fox is kind enough to let you stay here, huh, Yusuke?" Shi said to Yusuke.

"Yeah." Yusuke answered. "It allows me to meet great looking people."

Shi giggled. "Shut up! I have a boyfriend."

"Tsk. That's too bad..." Yusuke continued. "I'm really fond of you."

"In such a short time? That's silly." Shi replied, blushing.

"But you're so attractive and nice." Yusuke continued flirting.

"That's odd. People call me mean, and don't like me because I'm so bold." Shi said, sitting down on the back porch swing bench.

"I don't think that way at all." Yusuke sat down next to Shi, placing one of his hands on Shi's right hand.

"Um..." Shi stiffened slightly, and noticed that Fox wasn't around anymore. "Uh, how old are you?"

"I'm going to be 29 in April." Yusuke answered, moving closer.

"Well, I'll be 17 in May." Shi said, trying to edge away from him but was at the very endside of the bench.

"April and May are so close." Yusuke said.

"Maybe too close..." Shi muttered.

"Really close." Yusuke placed his arm around her shoulders.

Shi looked at him.

"Really, really close." Whispering, then Yusuke kissed her on the lips. In surprise, and in spite of herself, she let him kiss her.


"That's all I need to know." The business man, Tien Shinhan said, standing up.

"Alright." Atsuko said. "We'll be staying with you for a few months, is that alright, Mikiko?"

"Yes." Mikiko then led Tien Shinhan to the door, and closed it, heading back to the front room.


Shi pushed Yusuke off of her. "I did say I have a boyfriend, you know."

"I could tell you were lying." Yusuke replied.

"No, really, I do. His name is Juunana, or Seventeen, which is what I usually call him." Shi said to Yusuke, looking away from him, blushing red like blood.

"Well, that's too bad. I was really hoping you were free."

"I am free. Just not in that way."

"Are you sure we can't go on dates?" He asked, and she shrugged. "Maybe some year in the future." Shi stood up, and walked off a few feet off the porch.

Yusuke followed her, and grabbed her around the waist, placing his chin on her shoulder. "Dump him."

Shi gasped. "No."

"Just kidding." Yusuke backed off.

"THERE YOU ARE YOU FREAKING URAMESHI! I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU SINCE YOUR HOUSE BLEW UP!" A tall, red hair man was looking over the fence, pointing at him.

"Who?" Shi looked at Yusuke, curious.

"Kuwabara." Yusuke answered.

"AREN'T YOU GONNA SAY HI!" Kuwabara yelled at him, more annoyed.

"I have no need to." Yusuke answered, walking into the house.

"Hi Kuwabara." Shi said, with a small, very small, wave. "Did I say your name right?"

"Yeah."

"Is Yusuke your friend?"

"Yeah."

"Why do you call him by his last name?"

"I don't like him. Just kidding. Because, uh, I'm used to it." Kuwabara answered.

"If you're thinking about coming in our yard... Forget it." Shi walked onto the porch.

"I was not!" Kuwabara said as if insulted.

"Is Kuwabara your first name?" Shi asked.

"No." Then Kuwabara continued. "It's my last."

"What's the first?" Shi sat on the swing bench, looking over the back at him.

"Kazuma Kuwabara." He said proudly.

Shi looked at him for a few minutes, studying him, and finally she spoke.

"Chup."

"No, actually I'm kinda thin." Kuwabara said, looking down at his stomach.

"I don't care. I like saying 'Chup'."

"Okay." Kuwabara said, shrugging.

After a very, very long silence, Shi asked Kuwabara if he'd like to come in, because their grandmother made pudding, so she asked if he wanted some, and he said 'Yes.'


"Hey, Grammy, can this guy, Kazuma Kuwabara, have some of the pudding you made?" Shi asked, nodding to the tall, redhead. "He's a friend of Yusuke's..." Then muttering. "Kinda..."

"Oh, Tortus, sure he can have some brownies." The grandmother, whose name is Akifuru, put a bowl of pudding in front of Kuwabara. "There you go, Tortus. It's the brownie mix; I haven't cooked it yet."

"I thought it was pudding?" Kuwabara looked at Shi.

"Shut up, and accept it." Shi whispered, nudging him with her elbow.

"Yeah, thank you, grandma!" Kuwabara then took the bowl, and spoon; and followed Shi into the playroom... well, it used to be a playroom for the younger three when they were little, but now, it was different, not filled with toys like in the past.

Shi sat down on her chair, which was a dark blue armchair, with a quite comfy forest green pillow to sit on.

"Wanna hear a song I made?" Kuwabara asked, and before she could say anything, he started singing.

"Kuwabara is the King, Kuwabara knows everything, Kuwabara knows everything about the King."

"Because you're the king?" Shi asked, resting back, closing her eyes. Her eye color, by the way, is dark brown with black surrounding around the dark brown.

"Yep." He answered.

"Ooh..." Shi groaned, because of a headache coming on. "Where's that Fox?"

"He's not here." Kuwabara said, thinking she was talking about someone else.

"Do you know Fox?"

"Uh uh." Kuwabara answered.

"He's my brother."

"Never mind, wrong guy."

"Who were you talking about? Fox Mulder?" Shi asked, sitting up straight.

"A friend. You wouldn't know him." Kuwabara answered. "Unless you met."

"Try me."

"He pretends he's a fox, his name is Shuuichi." Kuwabara said.

"Are you 29 years old?" Shi asked, feeling bored.

"Yeah, I am. How'd you know?" Kuwabara asked.

"I had a dream about you before I met you. I'm psychic, and I see spirits.. and scary things, the stuff you see in nightmares, but worse." Shi said, quietly.

"Same here. I had to fight demons with Urameshi." Kuwabara said, surprised.

Shi looked at him funny, because she was lying to him as a way of fun. "Uh... You do?"

"Hmm hmm." He nodded.

"How do you fight them?" Shi asked, wondering about him.

"With my Spirit Sword." Kuwabara the summoned his Spirit Sword.

"What the? How? How did you do that!" Shi asked, truly shocked.

"By focusing my energy into my hand." Kuwabara explained.

"Uh, dude... I lied to you about having the dream." Shi said, still surprised.

"But you're psychic, because if you're not, you wouldn't be able to see it." Kuwabara told her.

"But... but I've never really seen a ghost or demon, but I've had bad dreams - sleep paralysis- and I can predict things from dreams." Shi said, staring at the Spirit Sword.

"Hmm..." He made it disappear. "Don't tell anyone."

"Why did you tell me?" Shi asked.

"I thought you were really psychic, and all." Kuwabara said.

Shi rubbed her forehead, wondering what to say and think.
