Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Abuse ❯ Bus Evacuation ( Chapter 4 )

Kuwabara was shocked. “Your mother, Urameshi? You’re kidding! How’d she do that?”

“Broke a sake bottle, and the glass got me. My leg, too. Look.”

He showed Kuwabara his ankle, and the more recent glass marks on his leg. He also explained why his back was bleeding earlier. Kuwabara was staring at him in disbelief.

“Urameshi, if your mom’s doing that to you, maybe you should come to my house.”

“No! I shouldn’t even have told you! If she finds out, I’m gonna be in a lot of trouble!”

Yusuke stood up, and turned to go.

“Wait, Urameshi! Are you sure you want to go?”

Yusuke paused. “Kuwabara, swear to me that you will never tell.”

“No way, Urameshi. This is too serious not to do anything about.”

Yusuke glared at him, then ran out of the park, ignoring the protests of his injured legs. * * *

“Hey mom, I’m home,” Yusuke called.

“Where were you? That was a lot longer than what a trip to diner would take,” Atsuko called back.

“I went to the park and talked with Kuwabara.”

“About what?”

“Stuff.”

“What kind of stuff?” * * *  

Kuwabara stared after Yusuke wondering why Yusuke would go back to his home even though his mother hurt him.

He walked back home, thoughts spinning. He was still so wrapped up in his thoughts that he walked right into Shizuru as he entered his house.

“What are you doing?” Shizuru asked, annoyed.

“Thinkin’ ‘bout Urameshi.”

“What? You like him?”

“No way! I just was talkin’ with him, and-” he stopped himself, remembering the promise he had made.

“And what?” Shizuru asked suspiciously.

“And nothing!” Kuwabara. “I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone!”

“Well, maybe I can get it out of you anyway,” Shizuru said slyly.

“Do your worst,” Kuwabara growled.

Shizuru smirked. “Oh, Eikichi!”

“No! Don’t do anything to Eikichi!” * * *  

“Well, Yusuke? What kind of things?”

Yusuke hesitated, wondering what to say.

“The truth.”

Yusuke narrowed his eyes. “Why do you care what I said?”

Atsuko slapped him. “I asked you a question, and I expect it to be answered!”

“It’s gonna take a lot more than that to make me tell!”

“Oh really?” Atsuko asked slyly. Yusuke growled. * * *  

“Tell me, Kazuma, or Eikichi goes bye-bye.”

“No Shizuru! Drop Eikichi!”

“Not until you tell me what happened.” * * *

“You- will- tell- me- what- you- said- to- that- boy!” Atsuko yelled, slapping Yusuke after every word.

“Mom! I- said- ow!”

- “He said that his mother hurts him!”

- “I said that my mother hurts me!”

Shizuru stared at him, letting Eikichi go.

“You’re not serious.”

Kuwabara nodded and sighed. ‘Urameshi is gonna kill me…’

Atsuko stared at Yusuke. “You told him that?”

Yusuke looked down and nodded.

“You will go to school tomorrow, and then you are grounded for a month.”

Yusuke blinked. That wasn’t the usual punishment he had been getting lately.

“That’s it?” he asked uncertainly.

“No,” Atsuko replied. “Take off your shirt.”

Yusuke winced. This wouldn’t be fun… * * *  

The next morning, Yusuke sat up and groaned. His back was sore. Atsuko had beaten him on the back with her belt.

“Yusuke! You promised me you’d go to school today! Oh, and now your school uses buses.”

(I dunno, felt like putting them in.)

Yusuke blinked. “Ok, that’s new…”

As Yusuke got on the bus, he saw Kuwabara motioning for Yusuke to sit with him.

“Whatever…” But Yusuke sat with him as that was the only open seat.

“You okay, Urameshi?” Kuwabara asked. “Did your mom do anything to you?”

Yusuke grimaced. “You could say that.”

He leaned against the front part of the seat and closed his eyes.

“You okay?”

“Yes, Kuwabara, I’m just tired and my back is sore.”

Before Kuwabara had a chance to ask about it, the bus driver stood up. They were at the school. Then a bell started ringing.

“Um… I don’t think this is normal,” Kuwabara said nervously.

“Don’t worry, kids, just practice bus evacuation. I’m going to open the back and you get in a line. You sit down and then jump off the bus. Understood?”

Everyone nodded.

“Good. Now get into line.”

The bus driver got off the bus and the kids got into a line. Kuwabara let Keiko get in front of him before he followed Yusuke.

When it came to Yusuke’s turn, he sat down.

“This is so stupid…” he muttered.

“Come on, Yusuke!” Keiko muttered, pushing his back a little more roughly than she had intended.

Yusuke cringed and quickly jumped off the bus, landing unsteadily on his injured legs.

“Keiko… that hurt.”

“Well sor-ry!” Keiko replied, jumping down. “I thought you were tougher than that.”

“I am! You just shoved me!”

“I did not!”

“Yes you did!”

Keiko rolled her eyes and entered the school along with the other kids.

Kuwabara jumped down and walked over to Yusuke.

“What happened, Urameshi?”

“Keiko shoved me and my back already hurt. Hate stupid buses…” * * *  

I put in the bus evacuation because the buses at my school had one when I was writing this in my notebook. They’re so stupid. Do they really expect us to sit and calmly jump when there’s a fire? Whatever. I’ll try to update soon.

Ja ne, and review if you wish.
