RECAP: Yusuke just narrowly slipped out of Hiei's clutches and went outside. He heard a noise in his backyard and is now going towards it, while hiding in the bushes... Who or What could it be?

Part Seven: MYOB, YUSUKE!
As Yusuke approached the noises, the bushes seemed to be attacking him. His clothes were getting caught, leaves were getting stuck in his hair, scraps were forming on his body... The damn bushes had something against him for Pete's sake! Despite the bushes' hatred for him, he pressed on, with the camera still in hand.
The closer he got, the clearer the noises became. It was shouting. He was now right along side the patio. He peered through the leaves and saw Kurama and Botan... arguing? Since when did those two argue? Normally they were so lovey dovey...
Yusuke hit the 'on' button and watched the red light turn on to signal that the camera was on. He began to film the two lovers, yelling back and forth. It was quite amusing...
"It seems our happy couple, isn't so happy anymore," Yusuke said in almost a whisper, to make sure that neither Kurama nor Botan heard him. "Let's see what they're squawking about."
"I thought you said you were going to put your mother in a nursing home!" Botan yelled in outrage, her hands flying over her head.
"I know, but she's not ready to go..." Kurama said meekly, backing away in defense.
"We've been living with your mother ever since we got married! It's about time we got our own place!" Botan continued to yell. "Even Chisami agrees and that doesn't happen often!"
"I just don't want mother to feel like I'm shutting her out..." Kurama said, sadly. He looked down, slightly hurt.
"You can be such a Momma's boy!" Botan shouted. She had had enough of this nonsense!
"Whoa! She fried him! I've never seen Botan so angry... It's kind of scary..." Yusuke whispered in surprise. He continued watching from his hideout.
Botan let out a scowl and turned around. She began to walk away, back toward the French doors leading into the Urameshi household. Before she got more than 2 steps away, Kurama grabbed her arm.
"How about I'll talk to her about it," Kurama said quietly, sighing in defeat. Botan turned around and looked at him. He was smiling weakly.
"You will?" Botan said, full of hope. A hint of the usual perkiness was heard in her voice. She was turned back into the normal bubbly and giddy Botan everyone knows and loves.
"Of course," Kurama said softly. He looked into Botan's pink orbs. "You know I love you and I want to make you happy." He pulled her into a hug.
"I love you, too," Botan said in Kurama's ear. She looked deep into his eyes and lightly kissed him on the lips.
"This is getting a little too sappy for me..." Yusuke commented from his bush. He wasn't really the romantic type...
Kurama picked his head up and looked around. All he saw was the empty yard, the barren patio and the desolate bushes... Or so he thought.
"Did you hear something?" he asked Botan, suspiciously. She never looked up and kept her gaze on Kurama's handsome face and stunning green eyes.
"No. Probably just a squirrel," she said, ignoring Kurama's skepticism. She turned his face back towards her and lightly kissed him again. It was soon deepened and became more passionate as their arms snaked around each other once again.
Botan began to walk forwards. Kurama stumbled a bit on the bricks, but didn't trip. She pushed Kurama down into a lawn chair and sat on top of him. This was all done while not breaking the kiss. In mere moments, the scene soon turned to full-blown making out.
"EWW! This is foul!" Yusuke whispered in outrage, making sure to get it all on tape. His nose scrunched up. "If they end up having 'adult relations' on my patio, I'm calling the cops!"
Yusuke began to move a little more forward to get a better view. To his misfortune, his pant leg got caught onto the bush. Seconds later, he found himself loosing his balance and falling face forward onto the patio. During this, he lost his hold on the camera and it went down on the ground as well.
Once on the ground, he let out a, "Whoops!"
Kurama and Botan both jumped at the sudden movement and sound. Their eyes snapped open and they automatically looked over at where the sound came from, where Yusuke was lying on the red brick patio.
Yusuke crawled over to the camera and proceeded in grabbing it. He sat up and looked at the wide-eyed couple.
"Heh-heh... Hi guys!" Yusuke said, giving a shy wave.
"YUSUKE!" Botan screamed in anger. Her eyes grew wide and flames were lit inside of them as she stood up. Kurama still sat on the chair, in shock and disbelief.
"Gotta go! Bye!" Yusuke said quickly. He shot right up and sprinted into the house.
Once in the house, Yusuke continued to run. He needed to seek refuge. Who knew what Botan was going to do to him now! He needed a hideout... Hey! That was it! He took off down the hall, past all the confused guests.
He entered the last door on the left.
Once inside, the walls were a pretty shade of blue with rainbows and clowns painted on the walls. Toys were strewn everywhere. In the center of the room, Tamae was playing with Barbie and Hisashi was playing with cars.
"Hey kids! Mind if I borrow the clubhouse?" Yusuke asked in a rush. He pointed at the old cardboard box with a picture of a refrigerator on itlocated inthe left corner. A door and two tiny windows was cut out on it.
"You can, but it's already being used, Daddy," Tamae said, looking up from her Barbie dolls.
"Thanks sweetie!" Yusuke said and quickly went over to the box. He picked it up and was about to put it over himself, when he saw a crying Chisami sitting there. She looked up at him in utter surprise.
"Sorry, kid, but I need this more than you do," Yusuke said, ignoring the sad girl's tears. He quickly threw the box on top of him as he sat on the ground cross-legged. Hopefully, he would be safe for awhile... Until Botan cooled down a bit.
"That was mean, Daddy!" Yusuke heard Tamae say.
"Yeah, yeah! Now keep it down, hon!" Yusuke half whispered. He didn't want people to know he was in there...
And so, he continued to sit there, listening to the sounds of Tamae and Hisashi playing and the occasional sniffs or sobs of heartbroken Chisami...
---Elapsed Time: 10minutes---
Geez! It felt like he had been sitting in here for a millennium and a half! He was beginning to sweat, his foot fell asleep and worst of all, his butt was cramping up. Maybe this hadn't been the best idea... Wait a minute! There were footsteps coming down the hallway...
Seconds later, someone was heard coming into the playroom. Yusuke didn't want to know who...
"Have any of you seen Yusuke?" a woman's voice said, sounding angered. It was Keiko!
"Oh, yeah! He's in the clubhouse, Mommy!" Tamae said, rather happily.
Yusuke watched through the tiny window cut-outs as Keiko approached. He hunkered down lower inside the box. She lifted it up and cast it aside.
Yusuke looked up and saw Keiko with a rather unhappy expression. He gave a little wave.
"Hello, dear," he said, smiling and looking up. She just stood there glaring at him and before he knew it, she had grabbed a hold of his ear. "Ouch! Watch the merchandise!" Keiko didn't seem to be listening and pulled harder at it.
"Botan told me everything! You're in big trouble now!" Keiko shouted. "I'm not letting you out of my sight again! We're going in the kitchen!" She dragged Yusuke off of the floor and out of the room.
On their way out, Tamae and Hisashi started laughing.
"Haha! Busted!" Tamae said, pointing.
"Sucker! She's going to get you now!" Hisashi yelled, laughing.
"Nyah!" Yusuke exclaimed, making a face at the two, as Keiko continued to drag him out into the hall.
What was Keiko going to do with him now? He shuddered at the thought...
-To be continued in Chapter Eight-
-What is Keiko going to do to Yusuke now? She'll take away his camera most definitely. But then, how will he finish filming the Reunion Party? He still has one more victim! I'm pretty sure you all can single out who that's going to be! See you next time on Home Movies!
