Chapter 2: Kagome and Yusuke
Yusuke had decided he wanted to see everyone again, so he had sent Botan to set up a meeting. The park seemed to be the best place. He hadn't seen Kuwabara, Kurama, or Hiei in a while. He stood by a tree waiting for them.
"Hey, Yusuke!" came a female voice, he turned to see who it was.
"Hey, Kagome. What's up?" He replied. He was actually kinda happy to see his cousin again, it had been so long.
"Well, the sky is up. I'm doing great, how about yourself? What are you doing here?" she asked. Souta ran past her and another boy came to a stop at her side.
"Hey, Yusuke," Souta greeted him.
"Hey, kid," Yusuke greeted, "Why don't you and the other boy go play while I talk to Kagome real fast."
"Okay! Come on, Shippo," Souta grabbed Shippo and ran towards the playground.
Kagome and Yusuke watched them leave. Then she turned towards him. "What's wrong, Yusuke?" she asked.
"I kinda have some new responsiblities so you might not see me again for a while."
"Like what?"
"I don't think you would believe me if I told you. Who's the kid with red hair?"
"He's Shippo, a orphan I took in after his parents were killed. Tell me what's going on, I'll probably believe you."
He looked at her for a second, "All right. Remember when I was hit by a car?"
"Yeah, and everyone thought you were dead."
He nodded, "Yeah, well I was brought ack to life by the son of the ruler of Reikai, Koenma. After that I became a Reikai detective for him, kind of like a youkai hunter. I was trained by this old lady who was a phsyic called Genki. After that I got some teammates, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. We fought a lot of weak youkai, and some strong ones. We had to fight in this tournament, the Ankoku Bujuutsukau Tournament(Dark Tournament), which a lot of powerful youkai and humans participated in. We actually won it. A while after that I found out I was related to a really powerful youkai, he was one of the three youkai rulers of Makai. He battled me to see whether I was the right person to take his place. Well, then I proposed that the rulers battle it out to end the power struggle in Makai. Well, I didn't win, but I trust the one who did win. He's brought peace to Makai. So right now I still have to take care of the part of Makai Raizen, the youkai I'm related to, left to me. Oh, and did you know Shippo is a demon?"
She laughed, "You're life sounds a lot like mine. I know he's a demon, I'm a miko myself."
"Maybe you should come with me later to meet Genkai, I'm sure she would like you. Maybe I should tell the toddler, too, I'm sure he'd be interested."
"All right, that sounds good to me," she told him, "If you see me later I might just tell you my story. It's as unbelieveable as yours."
"Hey, Urameshi!" came a loud male voice. Kagome and Yusuke turned to see three men heading towards them.
"Those are my friends, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara," he told her and grinned.
"Who's the pretty lady," Kuwabara asked with a goofy grin.
"She's my cousin, moron. Don't you even think about trying to hit on her," Yusuke told him. Kuwabara backed off.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Kurama greeted her.
"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Kagome. As he said, I'm his cousin. I didn't know you had friends, Yusuke," she said and laughed.
"Very funny, Kagome," Yusuke replied.
Kuwabara laughed, and got punched by Yusuke.
"Well, I got to go check on the kids, I'll see you later, Yusuke. It was nice meeting th rest of you," she said and turned to go after the two boys.
"I'll see you in a few minutes," Yusuke yelled after her.
She turned and nodded to him, then continued on her way.
Yusuke turned to his friends, "Hey, guys."
"I see you're back for another visit," Kurama commented.
"Yep, but I want to keep the number of people who know I'm back to a minimum," he replied.
"And your cousin?" Hiei asked.
"Well I pretty much tell her everything, she seems to always know anyways."
Hiei snorted.
Kurama shook his head at the koorime. "Well, it's nice to see you again. How have you been?" he asked.
Yusuke grinned, "Not bad. I am suprised to see Hiei again, I thought he said he wouldn't visit me anymore. Still with Muruko?"
Hiei snorted and replied, "I can leave if you want, Urameshi."
Kurama chuckled, "He was visiting me because he wanted to know about something."
"Stick around, Hiei. I don't mind. Anyways, want to get something to eat? Maybe my cousin and the kids can join us," Yusuke said.
He 'hn'ed, Kuwabara grinned like a madman, and Kurama just chuckled and replied, "That sounds good. She seemed nice."
"I'm sure you'll like the kids, too. Souta is pretty easy going, and Shippo is a lot like you it seems," Yusuke told Kurama. 'Yep, a lot like you,' he thought.
Hiei wondered what Yusuke meant, and Kurama smiled.
Yusuke started walking in the direction the kids and Kagome had gone.
