I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This is fan fiction only.
In the beginning, there was only hunger, and hate but for Raizen it simply was never enough. He would tell his followers that he would train, fight and eat but it was never fulfilling. He complained bitterly at having no real reason for going on until one day he broke through the damn barrier that separated the demon and human worlds.
The first thing he noticed was the amazing tech the humans had developed since he was there last. The second thing he noticed was that humans were now chucked full of drugs and other poisons that made them quite unappealing to his sense of taste. Having eaten a pair of stupid muggers they tasted so disgusting that he really needed a strong drink to get the foul taste out of his mouth.
As he entered the bar, he began to look for something to drink that would help him deal with the foul taste that seemed to linger in his mouth, but he kept looking from one bar to the next and could not find what he was looking for.
That is when he met her, the one foul-mouth woman that would not only have the strangest liquor around but would give him a night of passion he would not soon forget. He woke up the next day in bed with her, and he realized something he actually loved her, more than anything in the world. But he also knew the spirit world would sure send their hitman to kill him, and her if they knew.
So with a sadness deeper than the oceans of the demon world he left. Vowing to never again eat human flesh, for it would always remember him of the woman he had to leave. The one true love he had to leave before she was killed by those hitmen that would surely come after him, and Raizen chose to leave rather than stay and cause her death.
Atsuko was a heavy drinker by the tender age of twelve and would continue even during her later years, but that stopped briefly during her pregnancy when she was fourteen years old. She deeply enjoyed that one-night stand, and if you asked her she would say that the guy who knocked her up pretty much made her think he ruined her for any other men. They simply could not measure next to the father of her son which is probably why she spend so much time with women later in her life.
It was this deep sense of loss that made Atsuko bitter and angry during the first years of her son's childhood. Having no problem beating someone senseless she was later hired by a local yakuza to be one of his musclemen. It turns out the Yakuza boss was actually from a dysfunctional home and so he formed his little group to make sure to punish all deadbeat fathers that would skip on their child support.
Yusuke from early in life was trained to fight by his mother, and to most, it was excessive and almost cruel, but to her, her son needed to know how to defend himself, there was always a chance that a rival group might want to get to her by harming her son, so Yusuke began to learn to fight since the day he first learned to walk.
She rose quickly in the ranks as she began to show she was his most effective and brutal enforcer. Yusuke had little to complain about, he had a half dozen idiots, as he called them to pick fights with, and he could not be happier if you tried to tell him otherwise.
He was happy till his mother finally told him needed an education, something she never had after being abandoned by her parents soon after she gave birth to him. The Yakuza boss became sort of an adoptive grandfather to Yusuke Urameshi. He taught him all the proper honor etiquette of a proper young man or at the very least a Yakuza.
He knew he hated school the very first time he met the man he would one day call his good friend and rival. Kuwabara was the school bully until Yusuke began attending his class. His appearance as an easygoing personality made the school bully think he was an easy target. Boy was he in for a surprise when the proper and respectful Yusuke beat him so bad he was knocked out and laying on the ground after only a few minutes.
So that was Yusuke's life from then on, Kuwabara trying once again to beat him and losing soon after, during one of the many fights Yusuke met the beauty that came to introduce herself as the sister of his idiotic punching bag, she was direct and to the point being older than he was, she had only two requests of him. To never actually kill Kuwabara and to not leave him a drooling cripple, cause she would have to look after him and that would be a pain. As long as he kept those two promises she told him she would be his friend with benefits.
The only thing Yusuke asked of her was that she take birth control pills, he was not about to ruin someone's life by knocking her up and leaving her to raise the kid alone. After they had been dating for a couple of weeks she often joked that maybe if she did get knocked up she would not mind having a good-looking guy like him marry her. If she was being honest Shizuru was very happy having such a considerate and caring lover, which honestly made her think about what her life would be if he indeed knocked her up and they raised a family, but so far he had only at most kissed her.
After one of their most passionate dates, they made love for the first time, it was the most passionate and exciting thing she had ever felt in her life, she couldn't get enough of how Yusuke made her feel, she knew that she wouldn't mind at all if he indeed knocked her up because she knew he would marry her and that would make her happy. She had thought of this as a perfect birthday present for her lover's fourteenth birthday, but as she rested in the afterglow of their union, she asked, "Yusuke, why do you always pick fights?" Shizuru wanted to understand the reason.
"For the record, I do not pick fights, I am only fighting in self-defense or as my job as a Yakuza enforcer. How do you think I have money to take you out on our dates? My mother would sooner have me neutered than give me money to take a beautiful girl like you out on a date." Shizuru smiled at the sweet post-sex compliment. "How about we have ourselves a quickie before you go?" Yusuke kissed her passionately on her lips.
"I would love to but I still got to pick up something for breakfast and go to the prison everyone calls school. " Shizuru said that she could cook him some breakfast since she was going to anyways for her idiot brother. "It will be so fun seeing my idiot brother get the worst scare of his life."
And so after some very satisfying sex during a nice shower, she cooked something nice for Yusuke and the standard scrambled eggs and toast for her brother. Kuwabara walked into the kitchen dressed and smiling smelling his breakfast said as he entered the room. "Thanks, sis. For the breakfast... Urameshi what the heck are you doing in my kitchen, and why are you eating our food? Why are you in my house to begin with?"
Shizuru did not even pay attention to Kuwabara something to truly shock the idiot, she came up to him and kissed him on his lips. "Hope you like your breakfast, I put in the pepper you like so much." She sat down and smiled as she saw him eat his food with some gusto. She felt really happy that he liked her cooking. She looked at her brother and tried not to laugh as she saw the look of shock on his face, with a serious expression she decided to talk to him, "Are you going to stand there looking like an idiot all day? Sit down and eat your breakfast or you are going to be late for school."
Kuwabara sat down and began to eat his food. "And for your information, he is not just the guy who beats the stuffing out of you, he is also my part-time lover. We have been friends with benefits since you started the eighth grade, for goodness sake, not my fault that you never noticed it." Kuwabara nearly choked on his toast as he heard that.
"Sorry for all the noise and we were having such a wonderful morning. " Shizuru told him as he collected the dishes and helped her clean them, Kuwabara was muttering some rather insulting things about the situation that made her feel sad, Yusuke smiled at her and told her not to worry he would beat him up later so he will get a nice punishment for doing that to her anyways. They both left the house and Yusuke could swear she looked like a housewife saying goodbye to her husband wearing that apron like she was.
" So Urameshi mind telling me why you never once told me you were doing my sister? " Yusuke ignored him and continued walking towards the school. " Honestly, you should have told me. You are practically my brother-in-law for crying out loud. I can count the times my sister ever looked so happy or made breakfast for any of her boyfriends with the fingers in one hand."
"You been going steady all this time and you did not tell me? I thought that we were better friends than that. At least tell me you were a condom, it would be pretty bad if my sister ended up like your mom. " Yusuke considered that topic taboo, and so he did the only thing he could do. Without saying a word he quickly punched him and kicked him in the gut when he was down.
" Oh right, you consider that taboo. " he saw a kid and looked kind of sad and scared as he walked away it was clear that it was because he was separated from his mom. Yusuke could not stand seeing the kid look so miserable so he thought of a way to make the kid smile and be happy so Yusuke used his hands and the kid's ball started making funny faces at him, and sure enough, the kid began to laugh, so much that his mom noticed. She walked over and slapped him hard on the face, so much so that he was knocked down to the floor.
"Mom, why did you do that? This guy was simply making me feel less scared, I was so scared when you left me all alone. " the woman upon hearing her son realized that indeed she left her son behind, she simply did not want to miss the fish sale at the local market, She apologized profusely as Yusuke finally got up from the ground.
" Ah, no problem lady, you were protecting your kid. Nice arm you got there by the way. " mother and child left together hearing the son saying he got one tough mom, Yusuke knew he needed to hurry to get to school, he barely made it to school, except his homeroom teacher was waiting for him." Urameshi, why am I not surprised to see you get here late. Honestly, why do we even let thugs like you in our school in the first place, don't you have a bank to rob? "
Yusuke smiled at him and told him that he did not rob banks but he had something to tell him from his mom, "Mom told me to remind you that you are late with your child support money, if you wait too long I and mom will have to remind you again, with a nice and friendly house visit. " the teacher had forgotten that he was late in paying his child support last month he knew had to give his ex-wife the money today.
"It was not nice or friendly I was in the hospital for a week." Yusuke left with him as they walked to the classroom he entered saying that it was, he was able to walk and had all his fingers, didn't he? The class was the same as always boring and the teachers used him as an example of what a fool, immoral, or crook was. 'Honestly, they make Hitler sound like a saint compared to me.'
He just got fed up and got up and told the teacher he needed to go the bathroom. The teacher told him he could drown himself in the toilet for all he cared, it would save the state the cost of his execution anyways.
Yusuke didn't like this place since they often made him feel miserable, but hearing this and after hearing that he should get lost and never come back he walked towards the exit of the school. He was about ready to walk out of the school gate when the principal stopped him. "And where do you think you are going, my good man? Don't you still have a few more classes to attend?"
Yusuke looked at the principal and smiled out of all the staff in the school, he was always the nicest to him." Sorry warden, I simply looking at what freedom looks like. Do you think it's time I went back into my cell? Do I have more torture that I need to endure? " The principal laughed out loud when he heard that. " No, you don't, why don't you join me for some tea and we can talk all about it. "
The Principal was the only friendly guy in the school how could he possibly refuse. As they began to drink their tea, the principal asked him what was wrong, Yusuke told him of all the things the teachers said to him or about him. The principal was shocked, he never would have believed that about his teaching staff. But the look on his face said that he was only telling him the sugar-coated version of it.
"I will certainly bring this up in our next staff meetings, they have no right to treat students like that, honestly I never even knew about it. " Yusuke told him it was no problem at all."The teachers cover for each other, that is why you never heard a thing, or they threaten students to keep them quiet. Why do you think I called this prison? Cause I found it boring?"
The school sounded the final bell telling him that the school day was over. and Yusuke thanked the Principal for listening and for the tasty tea. The principal had to laugh again as he saw Yusuke leave the office, Yusuke was thinking about his second girlfriend Keiko Yukimura that left school for a year for an unknown reason. Yusuke did not know it but he was going toward a meeting with his destiny, and he did not know it. Shizuru knew that something was going to happen she felt a chill in her bones and pain in her stomach. She hoped that Yusuke was OK, she might look in a bad mood sometimes, but he made her happy just being with him.
