Up and Down

.: Chapter 2-weird day:.

I finished work early today. Yusuke decided to take me with him and Kuwabara to meet girls. I had no choice but to go. If I went back early I wouldn't hear the end of it. We ended up at the food court in the mall. Kuwabara had already left.

We were about to leave when Yusuke spotted two girls at a table and dragged me over. One had brown hair and brown eyes and the other had blue hair and pink eyes.

"Hey." Yusuke said to them as we walked over.

The one with the blue hair giggled and said, "Hey there."

"Mind if we join you?"

"Go ahead." The one with the brown hair said. "Who are you guys anyway?" the other one asked.

"I'm Yusuke and this is Hiei. Who are you?"

"I'm Botan." The blue haired one said. "I'm Keiko." The brown haired girl said.

"Why doesn't he talk?" Botan said pointing to me.

"I don't know. Why don't you talk?" Yusuke was getting in my face. I rolled my eyes with a 'hn' and leaned back in my chair. I watched as Yusuke talked to the girls. Botan seemed interested. As I was watching I found I had an interest in Keiko. Then Yusuke started talking for me and I decided to try and leave.

Yusuke stopped me. "Where ya going?"

"Home." I simply stated.

"You can't go back now."

"I don't care."

"But…" I walked off before he said any more.

I arrived home and Atsuko wasn't happy. "Why aren't you at work?" she asked tapping her foot. "I was done early." I said not caring. "You're suppose to work all day." She was getting angry. "Why so you can keep me away from here?" not the smartest thing to say. She threw a glass jar at me. She threw more stuff at me before I decided to run out.

I ran as fast as I could though town. She didn't bother chasing me, but memories of what my mother had done to me flooded my mind. Once I got all the way to the park I stopped. I sat on a bench and took a minute to think. I couldn't go back. Not after that. So I walked a round and sat under a tree.

People stared as I looked up at the sky. I didn't care. So I just sat watching the clouds roll by. It was relaxing.

I got bred and walked some more. I couldn't stop thinking about Keiko. Why?

It was getting late and the sun was setting. It was also getting colder. I knew I needed a place to sleep.

Kuwabara wouldn't let me stay with him and his sister. We're not so close.

I walked aimlessly though town. The sun was down and it started to snow. Just my luck. I was going to freeze. I was going to freeze and die. That's a happy image. My legs were getting stiff. I couldn't walk much more. I fell I was too weak to get up. So I lie there waiting for someone to find me before I freeze to death.

My feet were starting to get numb. Just then a car stopped on the street next to where I was. I weakly looked at the people who came up to me. It was Keiko and Botan.

"Are you ok?" they asked in unison. I weakly shook my head 'no'. I couldn't deny it I needed help. They picked me up and I was carried on Keiko's back. They brought me into the car, or rather limo, and let me lay on the seat me down on the seat. It was warm. I was beginning to feel my feet again.

I was feeling better, but till too weak to sit up. I haven't eaten since breakfast. The girls were worried I could tell. There was some one else too. I think it was a man, but I'm not sure. On of the girls called him brother the other called him Kurama.

As we drove I listened to them talk. It was interesting how they spoke to each other.

Today turned out to be very interesting. As my eyes drifted shut and I fell asleep.
