Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Abuse ❯ To Reikai ( Chapter 9 )

“So, what are we supposed to do this time?” Hiei asked Botan.

They were in Spirit World, and Botan was informing them about the new case. (Yusuke)

“You guys are going to have to go to Yusuke’s house and get him out of there.”

Kurama blinked. “But Botan, how is that a mission?”

Botan looked uncomfortable. “His mother… well, she hurts Yusuke sometimes…”

Kurama’s eyes widened.

“Are you serious, Botan?” he asked. Botan nodded, and Kurama shook his head.

“That’s sad. Poor Yusuke…” he said softly. Hiei frowned.

“Yes, I’m not really familiar with this kind of thing, but it seems wrong.”

Kuwabara growled. “So let’s go, already!”

The others nodded, and Botan made a portal back to the Ningenkai.

“When you get Yusuke, call me, and we’ll bring him here, alright?”

The boys nodded, then stepped through the portal and disappeared.

“Good luck,” Botan whispered. * * *  

Yusuke was woken up by a loud crash, and sat up, rubbing his eyes.

“What the-?” he asked drowsily. He stood up carefully, and walked over to the door and opened it, looking out.

“Mom? What are you doing?” he called, still a touch of drowsiness in his voice.

Atsuko had gotten severely drunk, and her eyes seemed to be a little red. She turned to face Yusuke, and Yusuke stepped back fearfully. She seemed… demon like. It was kind of like Chu.

“…Mom? Are you… okay?”

Atsuko stood, and advanced toward Yusuke, a wild look on her face. Yusuke raised an arm in front of his face, visibly shaking. Atsuko slashed at Yusuke with her hand, hitting the scratches on his chest.

Yusuke yelled in pain, sinking to his knees, bringing his left arm over his scratches. The scratches opened and blood soaked through his shirt, staining it red. Tears filled Yusuke’s eyes, but he held back the sobs as he felt the stabs of pain hit his chest.

Atsuko continued her assault, kicking and scratching at Yusuke, who curled up into a ball on the ground, crying and bleeding. He hoped it would end soon.

“Get away from him. Now.”

Atsuko turned around to see a short, black-clothed boy with a sword standing in the doorway. Behind him was a boy with long red hair, and a purple school uniform on, and a boy with a blue school uniform and carrot-colored hair.

“Who’re you?” she asked, eyes unfocused.

Hiei rolled his eyes, and walked over to Atsuko and Yusuke. He knelt by Yusuke, who had passed out, eyes narrowing.

“Kurama, Baka, get over here, he’s going to need a lot of help.”

Kurama and Kuwabara, who was grumbling at the insult, followed and, ignoring Atsuko, picked up Yusuke, who whimpered a little. Hiei glared at Atsuko, and then took a device out of Kuwabara’s pocket.

“Hey, shrimp! That’s mine!” Kuwabara exclaimed, but a glare from Hiei shut him up.

Botan’s face appeared on the screen.

“Did the mission go successfully, Hiei?”

Hiei nodded. “Yes, we’re coming. Be prepared. The Detective isn’t in very good shape.”

Botan nodded. “Okay. We’ll be ready.”

Her face disappeared, and Hiei slipped the device back into Kuwabara’s pocket.

They left the house, and Atsuko fell onto the floor, passed out from the alcohol. * * *  

As the Tantei arrived in Spirit World, Botan came out to greet them. Her face saddened at the sight of Yusuke.

“Come this way,” she said softly.

“I can hold him,” Kurama said, and Kuwabara nodded, letting go of Yusuke.

They followed Botan down the corridor, Kuwabara in front, Kurama next, carrying Yusuke, and Hiei in the back.

“Koenma sir, we’ve brought Yusuke,” Botan called, opening the office door. The boys followed her inside.

Koenma looked up from his desk and saw Yusuke.

“Oh Yusuke… what happened?”

“He’s asleep, infant. He can’t answer you,” Hiei muttered.

“I was asking Kurama,” Koenma replied. “Kurama? Do you know what happened?”

Kurama shook his head. “When we got there, he was lying on the ground, bleeding and passed out.”

Koenma turned to teen form and walked over to Yusuke.

“He’s been crying,” he said softly.

He looked up at Botan.

“Botan? Put him in the room next to mine. Clean him up, okay?”

Botan nodded. “Yes sir.”

She led Kurama down another hallway, and Koenma turned to Hiei and Kuwabara.

“Thank you for bringing him here,” he said, turning back to toddler form. “You can stay with him if you want.”

“Hn.” Hiei strode over to the door and exited the office. Kuwabara quickly followed.

Koenma sighed. “Yusuke… what happened?” * * *

So, what’d you think? Ok, I have no clue of what to say now, so ja ne!
