Chapter 3: The Funeral

Everyone was gloomy even the kids, they had no clue who this Kurama guy was but they were still sorrowful. Yuko was hugging his mother as they walked to the car. Yusuke tried taking it like a man but he couldn't help but let the tears go down his cheeks. His mind kept going to the call.

~flash back~

"Yusuke this is Koenma," the toddler's voice hadn't changed even after all these years.

"What do you want?"

"I'm sorry to bother you but I thought you would want to know. Kurama is dead."

"Oh my god." He than dropped the phone.

"Yusuke what's wrong? Dear?"

"It's Kurama. He's dead."

Keiko picked up the phone, "when is the funeral?" ~silence~ "Fine."

Yusuke looked behind him to see both his kids. He then pointed down the hall towards their rooms. They obediently did as they were told. When they closed the doors to their rooms, Yusuke wrapped his arms around Keiko and began to cry.

"The funeral is tomorrow. If we want to go we should leave early in the morning." Keiko whispered very faintly feeling her shoulder get soaked with both their tears.

~end of flash back~

They all packed into the car Yusuke getting in the right hand driver's side. Keiko sat at his left side while the kids sat in the back. They drove for about two hours everyone was silent except for the occasional cough or sneeze.

~ Kristy's POV~

I looked out the window as we drove up to a house with a bunch of cars around it. We all got out and stood in line to say our blessings to his family. I looked at the man everyone was bowing to. He looked a little younger than my parents. He was wearing black and looked sad. There were no tears on his face but I had a feeling that he wanted to cry more than anything.

My father walked in and kneeled to the man and then crawled to the casket with Kurama in it. Mother went than my brother and than me. I kneeled in front of the man and said, "I'm sorry for your loss." For the first time since I had been there he looked up. His eyes didn't show any emotion as they looked in my eyes. "You can cry it isn't a bad thing," I murmured.

Before I knew what was happening he grabbed me and started to cry. I just patted his back as the moment got more and more disturbing. He finally let go and apologized for his "rudeness." I said it was fine and when to the casket saying a prayer. I looked up and saw a picture of the beautiful red head. He looked so happy in the picture he was about 37. He didn't look all that different from the picture I had in my pocket, he still had the bright green eyes and perfect smile. I smiled just looking at the picture.

I noticed on big difference in the pictures though. The names were different this one said Suiichi Minamino and the other said Kurama. 'A nickname maybe?' I thought to myself. I finally got up and walked outside with the rest of my family the picture still on my mind.

~normal POV~

The Urameshis stood outside drinking punch that someone had provided.

"Who was that guy in there?" Kristy asked.

"That was his younger brother. Kurama never got married but he did date a lot. He said he couldn't get too serious with anyone because of his secret." Yusuke didn't even realize how much he had just said.

They heard foot steps as someone approached them. "Urameshi!" The man cried in his oh so annoying voice.

"Barbar-Kun!" Kristy exclaimed hugging the big idiot.

Keiko let her lips spread a faint smile that she dropped almost immediately.

"How are you?" Yusuke asked not really expecting an answer, "Where's Yukina?"

"She had to go visit someone but she'll be back for the burial tomorrow. Did Koenma tell you?"

"Yeah," Yusuke nodded looking at the ground, "He wont be here 'til tomorrow either he had an important meeting with some of the rulers."

The kids looked confused since they had no clue who or what this Koenma guy is/was. The two grown men talked about things they had done with Kurama and how he was the only cool headed one out of the group. Later they all left and went there separate ways. The Urameshis all stayed in a hotel waiting for the next day so they could leave home after the burial.

~the next day~

Everyone was up the next day bright and early. They ate breakfast and took showers and whatever else they had to do to get ready. At around noon they left for the graveyard. Again they were all silent not saying a word until the drove up to the graveyard. Kuwabara was there standing next to his wife Yukina she was about a foot shorter than he with her blue hair that was always in a ponytail and knowing eyes. They were complete opposites but they were perfect for each other, everyone said so. Yukina was crying silently as the Urameshis approached. Keiko and Yukina hugged then Yukina patted the kids on the head. Yukina had wanted kids but a defect made it impossible, so she treated everyone else as her children. Of course they let her.

There was silence as the priest spoke the words, the silence kept up until he was done and most people left. As people departed Yusuke noticed a familiar looking person holding a baby with binky in his mouth. The man brought the baby over and set him down.

"Hello Yusuke," the toddler said. Kristy and Yuko were flabbergasted at what they had just heard. I mean how many babies do you come across that speaks perfect Japanese? "I'm sorry to have dragged you out here."

Yusuke looked at his gapping kids and said, "ex-nay on the talking-ne!"

Koenma looked at the boy and girl and than at Yusuke, "Goo goo ga ga," he said sarcastically, "Yusuke we have more important things than hiding the fact that I can talk from your kids."

Kuwabara tapped Yusuke shoulder and pointed a cross the grave, "Urameshi look!"

Everyone looked as a boy jumped from a tree and placed a red rose on the stone. Yusuke started to say something but Kuwabara was faster (for once).

"What are you doing here twerp!?!?" He yelled angrily.

The boy looked up at him his face not changing. His eyes swept over each one of them and stopped on Kristy. He looked her up and down as she started to turn bright red. Then she recognized him it was Hiei! ^.^

"You didn't answer me! What are you doing here Hiei!?!?" Kuwabara took a step towards him. "I'll go over there and beat the shi…"

He was interrupted by someone else coming from the same tree he had come from. It was another Hiei!?!? He stood by the first one and said, "If you're going to make a threat than make sure your making the threat to the right person! Baka!"

Yuko and Kristy noticed a difference between the two. On the second one there was star shape in white in his black hair and on the second he had just one bang (that's longer than the other bangs) that was white. It was like they were carbon copies! Besides the white thing their clothes were different. They both wore black but the first had a tank top and comfy looking pants while the other wore the usual (no need to go into detail right?).

"So Hiei has a child! That's good is he going to be a murder too?" Yusuke yelled his anger raising.

"I don't have to take this from anyone of you," Hiei retorted calmly. He turned around to walk away, "I came for the funeral not to be harassed by a bunch of baka ningens! Let's go…"

"Hiei," the familiar voice stopped him, "Where do you think your going?" A shadowy figure started to walk out. "I mean this is my funeral we're talking about."

The kitsune walked out of the shadows his golden eyes glowing as his silver hair swept around in the wind. "Or should I say Suiichi's funeral?"

Well confused? Hmmmmmm. Well wait until I update. Okay that's it for now I'm outie.

Oh and Hiei's son doesn't have a jagan so he doesn't wear a bandana.
