Chapter Two
~ ~ 'Huh?' Yusuke's eyes cracked open a bit. He was sleeping for what felt like an hour, but had only actually been thirty seconds. 'Where am I?' He wondered, not noticing the surroundings of the nurses office, where he once was.
"Mr. Urameshi?" A man's voice called to him. He heard faint laughter around him. "Mr. Urameshi?" He called again.
'I could have sworn I was taken out of the classroom.' He continued to think. 'I must be dreaming.' Yusuke felt a hand land on his shoulder, giving it a shake.
Blinking through the blur of his vision Yusuke looked around noting he was in class. But it wasn't Mr. Akashi's class. It was shop class. "So glad you could join us again, Mr. Urameshi. Please pay attention."
Yusuke yawned and stretched his arms out. "Yeah yeah, I'm listening." He stuck a finger in his ear twirling it in circles, before pulling it back out. The teacher gave Yusuke one last look to make sure he was going to continue to pay attention, before he went back to the lesson of the day.
"I want all of you to take a pair of safety glasses from the cabinet and put them over your eyes." Half the class got up from their seats to grab a pair of glasses. While the remaining seated students called out to their friends to grab a pair for them as well. Sighing in a huff, Yusuke stood up from his seat to get a set of glasses himself.
A thin blue framed pair were shoved in his face before he could even slide off the stool and he looked up seeing Kuwabara standing beside him. "Here." The red head muttered.
Yusuke, taking them, blinked in confusion. "What are you doing here, I thought you were skipping today?"
Kuwabara threw his head back in disbelief, placing his hands on his hips with a laugh. "Who said I skipped, just because I didn't show for homeroom." He waved it off. "Nah, I was at home getting my stuff ready for the move on friday."
'Move?' Thought Yusuke, watching Kuwabara walk away from him to join the rest of the class around a large table with a buzz saw and wood placed in a vice grip. "What move?" He asked the air. 'Wait a second,' Yusuke thought through his dreams. 'I remember that day.....That's the first day I realized that......' ~ ~
~*~*~*~
"So where's the patient?" The door to the nurses office swung open, filling with the sounds of Shizuru's entrance. The brunette stretched her arms outwards and waved them up and down to shake off the water from outside.
"Geez....only thing on is Morning Museum." There was an angry sigh followed by, "Greeat."
The two of them looked in the direction the voice had come from. Then they turned their attention to each other. "I was beginning to think you weren't going to show up." Said the nurse.
"There's a traffic jam for miles," Shizuru, boredly, stated. "people act like there's a damn flood everytime it rains."
Nurse Amuro nodded. "Yusuke's been sleeping for quite sometime now, I guess he's finally awake." Grabbing a pen from her desk, she picked up a clip board as well holding them towards Shizuru. "You'll just need to sign him out here."
Shizuru, ignoringly, crossed the room and opened the door of the next room where Yusuke sat rubbing his eyes trying to watch television.
"Get your shit together squirt, we're leaving." She called into the room then walked back out.
"Shizuru?" Yusuke blinked. What was she doing here? The spirit detective picked himself up from the couch, and grabbed his books before leaving the room.
"Name here, please." Nurse Amuro was saying again.
"Shizuru?" Called Yusuke, and she looked at him.
"What? You need a piggy back ride to the car too. Get in here." The girl said.
Yusuke did as he was told walking into the main room of the office. "What are you doing here?" He asked her. Shizuru straightened up from her bend over to write her name and Yusuke's on the leave sheet and her hands ducked behind her back giving her aid in comforting her stance.
"My baby brother called and told me to pick up his sick little boyfriend, your mother didn't answer the phone when he tried your house." The brunette explained.
'Probably asleep again, as always.' He thought. "Listen Shizuru, I appriciate your concern and everything but I don't need a ride home, I feel fine now." Just as he neared the two women, Yusuke stepped on a dragging tip of the blanket that was draped around his shoulders and he stumbled forward, being caught by the brunette. "Whoa."
"Haha, yeah you'd make it home." She took the blanket from around him handing it to the nurse. "My baby brother would never forgive me if I let you die on him."
Taking his books as well. Shizuru put her free hand on his shoulder and steered him out of the nurses office. "Seriously," He continued his protest. "I'm fine."
The two of them stopped walking and Shizuru looked at him leaning down into his face. "Oh yeah, then say maybe?"
The two of them were silent in a glaring contest. Everyone knows that a stuffed nose would make any 'm' said word sound like a 'b' instead, and Yusuke backed down crossing his arms. "Let's go, why argue. At least I'm getting out of this dump."
"Hmm." Satisfied with the victory, Shizuru lead them down the hall in silence to the double doors at the front of the building. "You must be happy." Shizuru mentioned, when they were outside.
Yusuke looked over at her with question. "For what? I'm gonna miss the best part of the day."
Shizuru took out another cigarette and lit it up. "Dare I ask what that is?"
"Lunch. Me, Kurama and Kuwabara always eat lunch together."
A faint laugh came from the brunette. "You mostly mean Kazuma, right?" Slapping her arms around him, Shizuru squoze the boy in a tight hug. "That's so cute, when kiddies fall in love."
Swatting at her, Yusuke shouted lowly, "Lay off, it isn't like tha-..." but his words snagged into a cough.
Shizuru patted the spirit detectives back laughing. "All right, calm down. I was just joking."
When the two of them got to the parking lot, Shizuru pressed the button for the lock on her car. "Better get you home before that cold gets worse." Yusuke sniffled and wiped an arm past his nose. The two of them slid into the car and closed the doors. Once she backed out of the parking lot, they were on their ways home.
.............................
The front door slammed shut behind Shizuru, and she steered a drowsy Yusuke to his bedroom. "I'll make you some tea." She was saying as they went. Atsuko was sleeping on the chair at the time, but the sound of the door roused her from her slumber and she looked through the blur of her eye lashes seeing the girl.
"Is that-....?" She rubbed her eyes. "Shizuru? What are you doing here? And what..." Seeing her son, Atsuko jumped up from the couch, fist balled shouting. "Yusuke, what did you do now? If you've been in another fight I'll...."
Atsuko's words were silenced from Shizuru raising a hand to her. "I brought him home, Atsuko." She explained. "Your son's sick and needed a ride home from school." Gasping. Atsuko snatched her son into her arms and hugged him, with a weak fight to be pushed off.
"Aaww mooother, lay off." Yusuke protested. "I already can't breathe are you trying to suffocate me."
She pulled back looking down at him with tears. "I'm sorry sweety it's just that," She dramatically wiped her tears away with the back of her shirt sleeve. "You're never usually sick and what if something were to happen to you." Yusuke's eyebrows arched as he gawked at his insane mother, wondering where she came up with this stuff.
'She's just like her son.' Thought Shizuru, rolling her eyes to the ceiling and shaking her head. Placing her hands back on Yusuke's shoulder she steered him back towards his room. "He'll be fine Atsuko, he just has a cold and slight fever. The school nurse said bed rest and tea should work."
"Thank goodness." The woman said slapping a hand over her heart. "I'll make you some soup." Atsuko volunteered.
"That should be good." Yusuke sarcastically said, flopping down face first onto his pillow. He fisted both hands with the blanket and yanked it securely over his head.
'I just wanna get some sleep.' He began to shiver a little until the heat of his body warmed the spot of the bed he was laying on. Yusuke closed his eyes listening to the sounds of his mother and Shizuru in the kitchen.
"Is he really going to be ok, Shizuru?" His mother asked, trying her hardest to speak lowly. "Be straight with me, I can take it." Shizuru laughed patting Atsuko on the back.
"Of course he'll be alright," She soothed. "just let him rest and make sure he eats and keeps his fluids up. Yusuke should be smart mouthing like his old self again in a day or so."
Putting a small pouch of green tea into a mug, Shizuru poured the piping hot liquid in over it. The coloring and flavor of the tea expanded through the water with every turn of the spoon. Sugar was sprinkled in afterwards before she took the packet out.
"Where do you want this?" Shizuru asked referring to the tea bag.
"Oh you can throw that out. I never keep those things." Atsuko stirred the bubbling pot of Campbell's soup with a small spoon, then dumped it over into a bowl, with a little over spill from the broth surfing up the side.
"Well, I've gotta get out of here." Shizuru was saying. "Let me know how he's doing, my little brother is liable to call during lunch to ask."
With a wave and, "I will." Astuko said goodbye. Picking up the cup then trying for the bowl, Atsuko placed the cup back down on the counter. Picking up the bowl with her left hand she gave it to her right then she grabbed the cup and smiled with satisfaction. "Yusuke, time for lunch." Announced his mother walking it into the boys bedroom. She looked at his lump on the bed, burried underneath the blanket. "I'll get you an extra blanket. Be sure to eat this okay?" She set the cup and bowl down, then walked out of the room to get another blanket for him. Yusuke was already asleep.
"Of all the...... dumb.... lu-.." He mumbled in his sleep.
