They reached Kuwabara's house just in time to catch Keiko, Kurama and Kuwabara. The three had been about to leave, having finally finished all the explaining and such.
"Surprise," Yusuke said with a grin.
Keiko screamed and exclaimed, "Yusuke! Are you all right? You're bleeding!"
Yusuke looked down at himself and shook his head, laughing, "Oh, that's not my blood! Sorry to worry you, its the demon's blood," he watched her, trying to continue, but she was already running over to Riku, "nobody else is…hurt…either…" he swore under his breath.
"Riku, how did it go? You didn't fight with Yusuke, did you?" Keiko asked him chastising, "and you're not hurt, I take it…"
"We didn't fight at all, we-"
Hiei interrupted him, "Kurama. This boy has a weapon that I didn't recognize. Its aura was strange, and it was shaped like a key. Any ideas?"
Kurama furrowed his brow and responded, "That's curious…I didn't sense any kind of aura on the boy, and I can always sense them…people with magic weapon must have magic auras to match. Yusuke has one that goes with his spirit gun; your sword has your scent all over it…" he trailed off.
"It's called a keyblade; The Oblivion," Riku said, staring hard at the floor.
Kuwabara looked confused, "Wait, is this the guy Keiko found?"
"I thought you filled him in," Yusuke growled, glaring at Kurama and Keiko.
"We did," Kurama said huffily.
"On the demon and your case, anyways…" Keiko added with a sigh.
"My name is Riku, and I hate pretty much everyone in this room," Riku smiled fondly at him, holding out a hand, "how about you?"
Kuwabara looked from Riku's smiling face to his outstretched hand, realizing that he was being sarcastic, and said cheekily, "and I'm sure it's mutual. I'm Kuwabara," he eyed the bloodstains on Riku's hands and clothes nervously.
Hiei spoke up, "Don't pick fights with enemies you know nothing about, fool. It's a stupid idea."
"I didn't ask your opinion, runt!" Kuwabara said angrily.
"STOP FIGHTING!" Keiko screamed, her fists shaking and eyes squeezed shut.
The room became deathly quiet and she continued.
"We shouldn't be fighting each other…we-"
A knock interrupted her. Everyone turned expectantly to Kuwabara to get the door, as it was his house. Grudgingly, he got up and did so.
"Yeah, whaddya want?" he said, opening it.
The person, much shorter than Kuwabara, replied in a gruff voice, "Show some respect."
Yusuke grinned widely and ran to the door, "Genkai!"
Kurama and Hiei shifted, looking at each other strangely; If Genkai was here, something was up. Kuwabara immediately took back what he'd said and apologized profusely. Keiko smiled politely and greeted the old woman.
Riku just stared. Who on Earth was this oldwoman, that she demanded such respect from two accomplished fighters? He gulped nervously. He was getting tired of explaining himself to strangers.
