Chapter 2: Plans

Keiko was lying unconscious on a couch, while her head was on Kari's lap and Kari, herself, was fanning Keiko's face. The unconscious brunette winced and opened her eyes and her vision was blurring for a moment and met Kari, "Kari," Keiko rose her head from the elder Urameshi's lap

"Had enough sleep?" Kari asked

Keiko rubbed her eyes, "I've had the strangest dream. I dreamt that Yusuke was back from Demon World."

"Well, hate to tell you this but that was no dream," Kari said, pointing behind Keiko. The brunette turned to meet Yusuke's brown eyes, "Hey!" he greeted

Keiko's jaw dropped, "Okay, today's meat is really getting to me," she said

"It's no dream, Keiko," Kari said, "Yusuke is back from Demon World and here to stay where he actually belongs."

"That's right," Yusuke said

"Okay Urameshi, how is it that you can come back here after saying that you'll come back in three years?" Kuwabara asked

"Oh right," Yusuke said, "I guess I owe you guys an explain."

"So true," Keiko said, in a dreary tone

"You see, I was surprised like you guys were until Genkai explained it to me," Yusuke said, "A year in Demon World is like a week in this world."

"But Urameshi, you didn't age a bit since you left." Kuwabara said

"Yeah, you look like this same three weeks ago." Keiko added

"That was the weirdest part, see when I let Demon World, I was eighteen but since I traveled through the portal to this world I'm still fifteen years old." Yusuke explained

"So, what now?" Kuwabara asked

"Well, it looks like I have to give up fighting." Yusuke said, then came the sounds of three jaws dropping to the floor.

"What is this, 'Everything is a Surprise' Day?" Yusuke asked with annoyance

"So, let me get this straight," Kuwabara said, "You're gonna give up fighting."

"That's what I said," Yusuke said

"Hey Kari, are you sure that this is our Yusuke that's saying this?" Keiko asked, pointing at Yusuke

"Yeah this could be a Urameshi clone." Kuwabara added

"Okay if you guys don't believe that I'm still the same Yusuke then ask any question that the Yusuke Urameshi that you know would answer," Yusuke said

Kuwabara, Kari and Keiko looked at each other and nodded and looked towards Yusuke, "Okay, in our brawls, how many time have I defeated you?" Kuwabara asked

Yusuke puts a confident smile, "That's easy, zero!" he replied, to Kuwabara's displeasure, "He got that one right," Kuwabara said

"But that was easy," Kari said, "Okay, when is my birthday?"

"Another easy one, the same day as mine, November 11," Yusuke said

"Okay then how many times have I hit you in past?" Keiko asked

"That's easy, more than a million times."

"It's him!" the three teens said, in unison, "Now that you're going to quit fighting then that would mean no more cases, right?" Keiko asked

"My termination as spirit detective is permanent, but that's okay, I was going to say that I quit, anyways."

"So, what are you going to do with your spare time?" Kuwabara asked

"Well, thanks to Kari, I'm thinking about enrolling to Duel Academy."

"HUH!" Kuwabara and Keiko said in unison

"You don't mean that the Duel Academy that belongs to Seto Kaiba, are you?" Kuwabara said

"That's the one!"

"But Yusuke, Duel Academy is one of the best dueling schools on the planet," Keiko told him, "You'd have to be very serious in dueling, and you can't be skipping class like you've been doing, so far."

"Oh believe me, Keiko," Kari said, "Yusuke's being serious, has there been a time that he has ever asked help from me."

"I see your point"

"Tomorrow, me and Kari are going to Domino to visit my grandfather." Yusuke said

"Isn't Domino where Yugi lives?" Kuwabara asked

"That's the one"

"What time are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning, we'll try to catch the nine o'clock train." Kari replied, "We'll be staying the whole weekend there."

"The whole weekend," Keiko said, "Then, I'm coming also; it's been a while since I've seen Tea."

"You mean Tea's back from America?" Yusuke asked

"Yeah, just about a week ago" Keiko's nose picked up something, "Did something burn here?"

"Yeah, Kari's cooking!" Yusuke joked, which ended up with a pillow thrown at his head, courtesy of Kari, "Shut up, dumbass!"

Keiko smiled, 'It's nice to have Yusuke back, didn't think that I'd last another minute of him gone.' She thought, 'I wonder if what I said before he left, he'd take it seriously, I won't be surprised if he did since sometimes never take anything that I say seriously.'
