#' '#, is yoko talking in kurama's head

" whats this for?, yusuke asked his mom as she handed him a letter. " just read. i'll be down stairs when your done", she said and walked out. Yusuke stared at the letter for a moment then threw it at the trash can. " what did ya do that for? It might be important?, Kuwabara asked. Kuwabara, kurama, Botan,and Hiei all sat in his room. " because it doesn't say who its from, so why bother?" " Just open the damn letter", hiei growled. Yusuke was so suprised at hiei's voice that he got up and grabbed the letter. He sat back down and fiddled with it for a moment, then he began to open it. The others watched as he pulled the letter and began reading it. After a few minutes yusuke's face became over come with shock. He folded the letter and went to his closet. The others, except hiei, followed him. He crawled around on the bottom before he pulled out a a small shoe box. He opened it and pulled out a picture and stared at it. " What's wrong Yusuke?, Botan asked as he threw the picture back in the box before any one else saw it. " nothings wrong botan, he said. " Then whats with the shock thing?" " because my stepmother and stepsister are coming." Every one in the could hardy breathe.

(5 Days before)

Kagome was the perfect girl. she was top of her school, so beautiful that she had every guy within a 2 mile radius crushing on her, followed the rules most of the time, and knew how to do just about any thing perfect. Play the violin or flute, dance, sing, act, fight, you name it she could do it. Not that she ever cared. Kagome may have been perfect, but she wasn't a perfectionist (spelling?). She was just one of those people woh cared about the things that most people hated. Like the other girls go to beauty classes, seh goes to martial arts. Normal girls go to Ballet, she goes to swordsmanship and archery. But she could still do all those others things perfect.

' why me?', kagome thought as she ran from her fanclub of boys. That was the thing she hated most in the world. She had sucessfully ran from them for 19 whole blocks ad she made it to her house. luckily no one knew she lived at higurashi shrine itself. They thought she lived in a different place which was fine with her.

when kagome came to her street, she stopped dead in her tracks.Even from the bottom of the steps she could see it. the shrine was on fire. The fire trucks and firemen were scattered in the street and up at the top of the steps. kagome ran to the steps to find her mother crying at te bottom. " Mom what's going on?, she asked. Her mother looked up at her and choked the words out. " i was at the store when some how the shrine caught on fire. your grandfather and brother were still inside, but they weren't saved in time." Kagome couldn't move. she was to frozen from shock. all she could do was stand there and watch her home burn to the ground. knowing that her grandfather and brother souta would never come out.

The next morning

It turns out that not all of the shrine burned down. Some of kagome's and her mom's things were still good, but only their things, the store hosue, the dry well, and the sacred tree were not burned. Kagome and her mom chose to keep the land adn rebuild the shrine one day, but that would cost money that they didn't have right now.

Now kagome sat on the shrine steps again. suprisingly, she didn't cry. She didn't want to either. Crying would show weakness and remorse for the past. She knew that her grandfather wouldn't want that. she gracfully let a sigh escape her lips and felt a hand touch her shoulder. she looked up and saw her mother. " I've been thinking kagome, she paused, but kgaome urged her on. " I think we should go live with oue stepmother and stepbrother." Kagome looked confused. she hadn't seen her stepmother since she moved to a bad part of town in Kyoto when Kagome's dad died. She knew that her mom and stepmom were friends and when kagome's dad divorced her mom and remarried Atsuko (stepmom) that they still remained friends. "if that's what you want." Kagome said peacfully. She kinda would like to see her stepmom again, but she never had seen her stepbrother. " good. now lets go get our things and we will leave for Kyoto in a few days."

( Back w/ yusuke the day before they come)

" you have a step family? since when?" kuwabara asked. " it was long time ago. My step sister's mom was my mom's best friend. Her mom married a man with the name higurashi. A couple years later they divorced and he married my mom. Our mother's were stil close friends so they thought that i should call her my stepmom, just as her daughter called my mom stepmom. before my mom married, she got pregnant w/ me and had already decided to give me my real father's last name. The thing is that after my stepdad died, we moved here and my mom became more of a drunk." wow that's some thing i never knew about you Yusuke", kuwabara said as he tried to picture him as a little kid. " that's not all is it Yusuke", kurama said. " your right, he paused, " i used to have a grandfather and a stepbrother too but........" " what's wrong?, botan asked as she wacthed yusuke tremble. ".....they died couple days ago in a fire." no one said any thing. Then yuske began again. " i never saw my stepbrother once or my stepsister, but she's still alive and her and her mom are coming to live with us." " yusuke looked up at his friends and his face bcame funny looking. Botan stared at him with tears in her eyes. and then she began to wail. ' Oh my god. that is so sad!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder your a dolt!!!!" yusuke decided to let tha one go adn he stood up. " any ways, they will be here tommorrow. so you guys can still come over. i dont know the time their getting her though. The group nodded and followed yusuke out the door.

' i wonder what's going to happen tommorrow?', kurama thought

#' we will just have to wait and see.'#, thought Yoko back to him.
