Kuwabara studied his mother's flower bed. It had been sadly neglected since her death, and was overgrown with weeds and the flowers were in disarray. "Mom would never have let it get like this," Kuwabara muttered to himself.
Kuwabara determined to do something about it. He didn't know much about plants, but he did know the difference between a weed and a flower, so he could weed the garden if nothing else.
It was hours of hot, backbreaking work digging up the weeds. When he'd been at it a while, Shizuru came out the house with a tall glass of lemonade, just like their mom used to make.
"I figured you'd be thirsty," she said, and Kuwabara gulped it down with a quick thank you.
Shizuru eyed his work. "I wish I'd have thought of her garden," she said.
Kuwabara blinked up at her. "You can still help."
Slowly, Shizuru smiled and laughed at herself. "Yeah, I guess I can."

AN: And now I am caught up with myself for the posts I missed last week. Yay! Also, I know there has been a severe Yusuke shortage lately. Don't worry, I promise he'll be in the next chapter.
