Ch 2. Absence
"Yo Kuwabara haven't seen Kurama round much lately" commented a slightly worried spirit detective. Now eighteen and with high school nearing an end it was a wonder that he hadn't dropped out! His appearance had changed as well as his attitude towards school, his hair was down and his uniform was unbuttoned to expose a wrinkled white t-shirt (Keiko said it made him look less intimidating).
"Know what Urameshi I bet his ditching with out on us" the bigger boy grumbled. Kuwabara pretty much looked the same tall with orange hair (and according to Hiei) ugly.
"Naw that's not like him at all He's probably with Hiei or at the library or something"
"No I'm fine, thanks for worrying" replied a softer voice
"Kurama your back" his excitement soon became worried again as he looked a the red haired boy
"And you look dead" Kuwabara quickly added an "Ouch" as Yusuke punched him.
"I don't look dead to you do I" he snarled then lighting up and adding "Dude you really don't look good though"
"I know haven't been feeling well" Kurama replied
"Did you get in to any fights?" Kuwabara asked
It was true he really didn't look sick he looked shook up. A long scar ran down his cheek, marks on his neck, a scared look in his eyes, even his uniform was messy which was odd for the normally neat Kurama.
Before he could answer a female voice sang "Come on guys you'll all be late"
"Hello Keiko" Kurama replied
"Hello Kurama you don't look to good"
As they were about to walk in the spirit detective turned to his orange haired companion and said
"I don't believe him"
"You think something happened"
"Mmm hum I think he did get in to a fight"
"Is he holding out on us?" Kuwabara sounded mad
"He looks scared" Yusuke replied
"Oh"
"But in any case we should still check in to it we'll ask Hiei if he knows any thing"
And they left it at that.
