Hello . I'm happy you guys seem to like this story . I like it too hahaha. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who is reading this and especially those who are reviewing. I would like to make one thing clear. In the series Kuwabara never dyes his hair. I should have explained that better ; I just got the uncut season two of YYH...the ending part of the DT. Well, I was watching it and found that all the coloring is messed up. It's every single DVD. Kuwabara's hair is blue, while his uniform is orange...ummmm...both Botan and Yukina have golden hair...stuff like that . I really think Kuwa should dye his hair blue, cause he really looks good with blue hair hahahaha. So I hope that helps with the confusion ; Alright, now that is out of the way, on with part 3!

Disclamier: I do not own YYH or anything related, because if I did, Kuwa would have love!

Part 3

Kuwabara was met with a very concerned and mostly pissed off Shizuru as he walked through the door.

"It's 10. Where were you?" she asks, lighting up a cigarette and taking a drag. Her voice was calm, but her eyes showed her worry and anger.

"Places." Says Kuwabara as he passes her and walks to his room.

"Places ain't an answer." came from the couch.

Kuwabara sighed. He had sense Yusuke from a block away. He could recognize the aura of his best friend if he was on another planet.

"What do you want Yusuke?"

"What's with this Yusuke shit! Why won't you call me Urameshi!" shouts Yusuke as he stands up and walks up to his friend.

He was in Kuwabara's face for only an instant before he backed off. Kuwabara had a weird sent on him. Yusuke didn't know what it was, but it was faint, and it smelt very familiar.

"Where were you?" Yusuke asks, looking Kuwabara dead in his eyes. He was scared. It was that sent. He didn't know what it was but he knew he had smelt it somewhere before.

"Like I said places." sighs Kuwabara.

He really wanted to go to sleep. His headache had returned after talking to those thugs earlier. Kuwabara figured that if he walked around more he would clear his head and probably figure out what was wrong with him. However, every time he did, he would fall to the ground in pain.

"That's not a good enough answer!" shouts Shizuru.

She looked like she was close to tears. Kuwabara's eyes widened and then soften a bit. He never wanted to see his sister cry. It wasn't her thing to cry.

"I just walked around, ok? I needed to clear my head a bit, that's all." Kuwabara said, sounding a little like his old self, just a bit tired.

Yusuke looked at his friend. There was defiantly something wrong with him. Hiei and Kurama had felt it too, but none of them could figure out what it was. They had thought at first it wasn't really Kuwabara, but his aura was the same. Nothing made sense. The only thing that seemed different was his aura seemed to be a bit darker, his aura just dark.

Kuwabara turns and starts to leave again when Yusuke grabs his arm.

"Kuwabara….I don't know what's going on with you, but you're really scaring us." Yusuke looks away. "It's like you're not you."

"Well, this is me, Yusuke. I'm not your puppet anymore. I'm not your little 'comedy relief' or your punching bag. The Kuwabara you knew wasn't real; this is who I am; if you don't like it then tough toe nails."

Kuwabara pulled his arm away from Yusuke and glared into the sad brown eyes of his once best friend.

"I am done."

He turns and goes to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.

Yusuke stared at that door. 'Did we….did we really treat him like that? Was that the real Kuwabara?'

Yusuke shakes his head. 'No. I've known him way before we worked for reiki. This isn't Kuwabara….it's not him…'

He turns to Shizuru, who is on her fourth cigarette by now.

"See. This is what I've been dealing with for the past month now. After that dmn mission." She snorts. Her hands shakily light up another cigarette…her fifth.

"What mission?" Yusuke asks, narrowing his eyes.

"Didn't diaper boy tell you?" she asks, taking a drag.

"No, he didn't." Yusuke says, looking interested.

"Kazuma was sent after this demon a month ago, never caught the guy actually; turns out it was a hoax or something by some demons trying to get up Koenma's ss or something. Anyway, he comes back all depressed and shit, saying he couldn't believe he wasted his whole day chasing a fake demon."

Yusuke narrowed his eyes. 'Now why didn't Koenma tell us this?' he thinks. It didn't make sense.

"Thanks Shizuru. I'll talk to you later. Call me if anything happens."

"Whatever." She says, though her eyes show she appreciated Yusuke coming over.

Right before Yusuke left, Shizuru added.

"He missed you guys, ya know? He was basically miserable the whole three years; especially over you."

Yusuke looked at her, surprised. He felt guilty and before he left gave her a weak smile.

"Don't worry. We'll get him back."

Hope you guys liked this . Read and review!
