Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Abuse ❯ New Mission ( Chapter 7 )

At dinner, no one said anything, because they were unsure of what to say.

Then Shizuru sighed. “Kazuma, what’s wrong with your friend? He’s not eating.”

Kuwabara shrugged. “Dunno, that’s his problem.”

Yusuke growled. “Y’know, I hate it when people talk about me like I’m not there!”

Kuwabara and Shizuru ignored him.

“He needs to eat something,” Shizuru said. “How ‘bout some soup?”

“I can’t!” Yusuke cried. “I’m not supposed to- Mom said I can’t eat food that’s not mine!”

Kuwabara shook his head. “That means you can’t eat it unless you buy it? But you never have any money!”

Yusuke glared at him.

“But why do you follow that rule?” Kuwabara asked. “Knowing you, you wouldn’t care at all.”

“Because she hurt me for when I… the reason she broke my arm was because you gave me you candy bar!” Yusuke yelled. “I… I just can’t, Kuwa. I need to go home…”

“Urameshi! Wait!”

Yusuke ignored him and walked out the door in the direction of his house.

“Urameshi…”

For the next week, no one saw Yusuke at all. He wouldn’t leave his house. Kuwabara was worried, and he hated worrying.

The next day, the boys were called in for a mission.

“Okay, guys, you need to find this demon. You remember the Orb of Baast? This creature is capable of the Orbs’ effect,” Koenma explained. “You must find him quickly.”

Kuwabara and Kurama nodded and Hiei hned. Kuwabara turned to Yusuke.

“Do you get it, Urameshi?”

Yusuke stayed silent for a moment. “Yeah, Kuwa, I think I get it. Now let’s go.”

Hiei and Kurama followed him as he exited, but Kuwabara stayed behind. Koenma was confused.

“Kuwabara? Why are you still here?” he asked.

“I’m a little nervous ‘bout Urameshi,” Kuwabara said.

Koenma frowned. “Why?”

“He… well… his ma grounded him for a month. He’s not grounded anymore, but he told me he didn’t eat that whole time, and he still hasn’t yet.”

“Do you know why?”

Kuwabara shook his head. “No, and I think his mom’s got a problem or something. She broke his arm just because I gave him a candy bar.”

Koenma thought for a moment. “I’m not exactly sure what to do, Kuwabara. Tell me if anything else happens. Just tell Botan, she’ll relay the message.”

Kuwabara nodded. “Okay.”

He left, and Botan entered the room.

“I heard, sir,” she said. “You do know what his mother’s been doing to him, don’t you?”

Koenma nodded. “Yes, Botan, but there’s nothing we can do this moment. We can look into the matter more deeply when this case is solved, but if Kuwabara tells you anything, please tell me.”

Botan nodded. “Yes sir.”   * * *  

So, what’d you think? I know it was short, but the next chapter will be longer. I think the scene in Koenma’s office was kinda awkward, but this was my first time really coming up with a mission. Hope you liked it anyway.

Review if you wish.
