Chapter 2

By: Mia Hindo

(A/N) I am back! I have been busy with Little Shop. I'm sick today so I thought it would be a good idea to update! Thank you all for stick around and reading all of my stories and reviewing them! (A/N)

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho.

"No your not," Kuwabara whispered as the bedroom door opened.

"And you think you are going to stop me?" Hiei said glaring at Kuwabara as the bedroom door opened.

I jumped up and stood next to my bed as my mother entered the room. She walking in to the room and stood in front of me and said, "What have you been doing the time we where gone?"

"I was reading my book." I said rudely.

"Don't talk to me that way." She said slapping me across the face.

Closet

Kurama could tell Yusuke was going go out there so he whispered, "Yusuke don't move, we will get her in to more trouble.

Yusuke nodded and held still.

"Well with that attitude you can clean the kitchen." She said looking at me as I was dirt. "Sweep, mop, dishes everything."

I looked down, "Alright." I muttered.

"What?" She said slapping me again, "Almost always wish I would have never adopted you." She walked out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

I sat down on my bed and a single tear fell down my face. I heard my closer door open. They said nothing to me and I said nothing either. I took a deep breath and stood up and started to pack again. I could tell we all wanted to say something. What could you say to something like that?

I could feel them all watching me. Everyone but Kuwabara had seen this happen to me before. I sighed and said quietly, "That is why you had to hide." I looked at all of them. "Thanks for not doing anything."

"I know you have demonic powers," Yusuke so why don't you use them to stop her from …um…"

"Beating me?" I finished, "She is my mother. It's harder then you think to fight back." I sighed and sat down on my bed, "I did once. The day after I did I got beat so bad she broke my arm. She told the doctors at the hospital I fell out of the tree in my backyard. Along with threatening me she would break the other one if I said other wise. So I didn't" I finished packing and looked at them. "Only two people knew but I told them never to tell."

"Who?" Yusuke asked.

"Him," I said pointing at Kuwabara, "And my best friend."

"You trusted Kuwabara?" Hiei said, "Are you crazy?"

"No, but we must leave. First thought, I'm going to do something." I grabbed my bag and broom. I finally, after a year figured out why it was given to me. I opened my bedroom door and said, "Follow me." They did.

I walked in to the living room where my mother was and said, "Mom, I'm leaving."

She stood up and yelled, "You think you are leaving? What a joke. Who are these people?" She sneered. "You know you are not aloud to have people over let alone guys." She took a swing at me but it was stopped. I opened my eyes; I had closed them when she tried to hit me.

I was Kurama. "Don't ever that another swing at this lady or you will have to answer to me."

"Me to." Yusuke said.

"Also me!" Kuwabara said after Yusuke.

Hiei looked at me rolling his eyes he nodded, "And me." He muttered.

I placed my hand on Kurama's, "Thank you, but this is my fight." I smiled at him as he moved his hand. I looked at my mother.

"You have beaten me and broken me, but there is one thing you never did," I said taking off my bracelet.

"And that was?"

"Thanked me. Every time you laid a hand on me I could have done something. Every time I was hurt by you I should have called the cops, but I didn't. Now I will do something. I will leave. In a few weeks you will find out if I chose to put you behind bars or not. I will leave you with something thought." Then I started thinking. 'Why sink to her level?' "Good-bye" I said walking out of the door.

When we got outside I looked at them and said, "I have to go tell Hope I'm leaving."

"Hope Norako?" Yusuke said.

"Yeah, do you know here?"

"Well we have to go get her also. She is staying with us like you."
