Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Abuse ❯ First Week ( Chapter 5 )

The rest of the day went smoothly, even gym because the kids were allowed to do whatever they wanted, and Yusuke wanted to skip.

When he got home, he got off the bus and entered his house.

“Well, now I’m grounded. What does that mean?” he asked, walking up to Atsuko, who was sitting on the kitchen table.

“You’re not allowed to leave the house for a month,” Atsuko replied.

“But that’s not fair!” Yusuke complained.

“Keep that attitude, and I’ll beat you now.”

Yusuke crossed his arms and grumbled.

“Now go to your room.”

Yusuke rolled his eyes but complied.

“So… what am I going to do now?” he asked himself, sitting down on his bed. Then he thought of something.

‘What if I get an assignment while I’m grounded? Mom’s not gonna let me leave to almost get killed… just great.’

“Well, back to what I’m going to do…”

Yusuke looked around. He didn’t think Atsuko would let him play video games. His gaze fell on a yo-yo. He shrugged and put it on his finger.

“Now, how do you use this?” * * *

A few hours later, Yusuke put down the yo-yo. It had been starting to rub the skin off his finger.

He flopped down onto the bed and looked at the clock. It was seven.

Yusuke sighed and turned onto his right, eventually falling asleep. * * *  

It was the end of the first week of Yusuke being grounded, and Kuwabara was bored. He hadn’t seen Yusuke for a while, and he was slightly worried because of how his mother had been acting. He decided to visit Yusuke today and see what was up.

As he arrived at Yusuke’s house, he knocked on the door and Atsuko opened it.

“Oh, hey Kuwa,” she mumbled. “Yusuke’s in his room. But he’s grounded, so you can’t take him anywhere.”

Kuwabara nodded, and entered, making his way to Yusuke’s room. As he entered, he was surprised. Yusuke was curled up, asleep, on his bed. Kuwabara thought he would be awake, grumbling about being grounded.

“Urameshi? Can you wake up?”

Yusuke stirred and batted a hand at Kuwabara.

“Leave me ‘lone, mother, ‘m sleepin’…”

“I’m not your ma, Urameshi, it’s me, Kuwabara!”

Yusuke sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Kuwa? What’re you doin’ here?”

“I wanted to see if you were okay.”

“Did you bring any food? I’m starving.”

“I have a candy bar in my pocket.”

“Give it.”

Kuwabara handed it over, and Yusuke started munching on it.

“Thanks, Kuwa. I’m really hungry.”

“It’s nothin’, Urameshi. Wasn’t gonna eat it anyway.”

They heard a knock at the door. “Yusuke? You awake?”

“Yes, mother.”

Atsuko entered the room and frowned. “Yusuke, did you take that candy bar from him?”

“He gave it to me!”

“But it was still his. You don’t eat food that isn’t yours.”

“But mom-”

“We’ll discuss this later, when your friend leaves.”

Atsuko exited the room, and Yusuke finished off the candy bar with an annoyed look on his face.

“Does that mean she’ll-”

“Punish me. Bad, if I take it from her voice.”

Kuwabara shook his head. “Urameshi, we gotta tell someone. This isn’t right.”

“I don’t care! You are not going to tell, and if you do, I’ll punch your face in!”

“Yeah, you’ve said that before. Look, Urameshi, we got a small problem. Shizuru forced it outta me.”

Yusuke froze. “What did you just say? How did she do that?”

“She would have hurt Eikichi!”

“You and your cat… well, let’s just hope that she stays quiet.”

“Like that’s possible.”

Yusuke nodded. “Yeah.”

Kuwabara stood up. “I’m gonna go back and watch her. See you later, Urameshi.”

“See you, Kuwabara.”

Almost immediately after Kuwabara left, Atsuko came into the room.

“Now, we’re going to learn a little lesson on taking food that isn’t yours.”

Yusuke backed away. “But he gave it to me! I didn’t just take it!”

“Oh well.”

A punch came to Yusuke’s face and he tasted blood. He growled and raised his fist.

“You wouldn’t really hit me,” Atsuko said, crossing her arms.

“Try me.”

Yusuke threw a punch, but Atsuko grabbed his wrist.

“Hmm… another reason for this lesson,” she said, twisting Yusuke’s arm.

“Ow! Mom, let go! Please, let go!”

Atsuko responded by twisting his arm further. Yusuke winced, trying to pull away.

“No, Yusuke. That wouldn’t be fair.”

Another twist, and then a crack.

Yusuke whimpered and Atsuko let go. Yusuke hugged his right arm close to him and glared at Atsuko.

“Thanks a lot, mother,” he said sarcastically. Atsuko left the room, and Yusuke heard the click of the door locking. Yusuke sighed. The rest of the month wouldn’t be fun… * * *  

So, what’d you think? Ok, I’m not really sure what to say, so, I’ll update soon, hopefully on Tuesday. Ja ne!

Review if you wish.
