BANG! Kuwabara crashed the phone to the ground, causing Yukina and Shizuru looked up from their doings.
"What's wrong, Kazuma-san?" Yukina asked her fiance worriedly. Her Kazuma has never act like this before. What's wrong? She touched Kazuma's arm, and looked up at him questionally.
Kuwabara looked down at Yukina. He knew that his angry movement has shocked this little Koorime, but he just couldn't help himself from his anger. Yukina guided him back to the couch, and poured a cup of tea for Kuwabara.
Kuwabara drank the tea with a gulp, and put down the cup with a slam. "That damn Urameshi!" he shouted.
Shizuru looked at Kazuma surprisingly. Even Kazuma has been beat up by Urameshi several years ago before they became friends, he has never been this angry before!
"What's wrong, Kazuma?" Shizuru asked softly, putting a hand on Kuwabara's clenched fist.
"Keiko just called. She's coming over later. She... brought a surprisingly news with her." to both girls' surprise, the big mouth Kuwabara Kazuma didn't tell the truth! He was hiding it from them! It seems like he wanted Keiko to tell. Yukina opened her mouth, but Shizuru eyed her, told her to be quite.
Kuwabara went into the kitchen to heat up some sake when Keiko rang the door bell. Shizuru opened the door, and saw Keiko standing there, tears dropping madly.
Shizuru realized something must be very wrong for Keiko to cry like this. She invited Keiko in wordlessly, and settle her down on the couch. Shizuru gestured Yukina to keep her silence, and went to help Kazuma brought out the sake.
Keiko drank a cup of sake to calm herself down, and lowered her head. Kuwabaras and Yukina waited for her to start patiently. Keiko wipped off the tears that hung on her face.
"Yusuke..." she murmured. "Yusuke did a terrible thing..."
"What is it, Keiko?" Shizuru asked, moving to sat besides Keiko.
"He..." Keiko fought back the tears. "He raped... he raped Kurama."
Those three words stroke the Kuwabaras and Yukina like lightening. Even Kuwabara knew it already, his reaction was still like the girls. Mouth opened, eyes widened, and fist clenched.
"Na...." Shizuru managed to burst out first. "NANI!? How... how come? Are you sure?"
Keiko nodded with a sob. "I had a argument earlier today, and I slapped Yusuke. Then when I realized how terrible he must felt, I went to him. But when I opened his apartment door, I saw he... he was raping Kurama..." she traced off, unable to finished her sentence.
Kuwabara narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure? I can't believe Urameshi has done that. I didn't mean you're lying, it's just... quite impossible."
Keiko snapped suddenly. "Then call Kurama! Hiei was there! He was the one who brought Kurama home!" she bursted out crying.
Tear gems are dropping from Yukina's eyes. Kuwabara hugged her tightly, and bit his lips. 'I won't let you go that easily, Urameshi. For I, Kuwabara Kazuma, promise to revenge for Kurama, Keiko, and the people who cried for you.'
*****
"Feeling better now?" Hiei asked, brushing away several strands of the red hair from Kurama's eyes.
Kurama gave a weak smile, and tried to sit up. But Hiei pushed him back to bed.
"Oww... I'm hurt all over." Kurama whispered, frowning slightly.
Hiei clenched his fist, "I'm gonna kill that bastard for sure!" he cursed. "That son of a bitch."
"Hiei..." Kurama held Hiei's clenching fist. "Don't. Let's just... forget about this. I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to hurt Keiko by killing him."
Hiei groaned, and cursed under his breath. "Alright, I'll forgive him this time. But he better not messing around with you anymore or he's gonna be Kokyrukha's food for sure."
Kurama chuckled, and closed his eyes. It doesn't matter anymore now, he thought. At least I have Hiei with me...

Part II Chapter II

Yusuke opened his eyes painfully. His head hurted like shit, and his body was tired like hell. Yusuke shook his head to clear his blurring vision, and the memory of yesterday shot back like a twenty inched gun.
"Oh Gods..." Yusuke covered his wide-opened mouth. "What have I done!?"
He jumped down from his bed, and dialed a group of number in a hurry.
*****
The phone rang, causing Hiei to woke up from his dream. He turned and look at the sleeping Kurama, and a smile curled up his lip.
The phone kept ringing, and Hiei frowned, wondering why the Minamino/Hatanaka family didn't pick up the phone. Then he realized that they were all out of town because of their ningen business, and picked up the phone reluctantly downstairs.
"What?"
"uh... is Kurama there, Hiei?" Yusuke asked doubtly. Hiei's answering the phone!?
"Yusuke?" Hiei narrowed his eyes. It better not be him or he's not sure what he will do with that poor phone of Kurama's.
"Hai. Hiei, is Kurama..." Hiei slammed the phone before Yusuke get the chance to finished himself up.
How DARE him! Hiei thought. That bastard! What does he want!?
Hiei hit the wall hard to express his anger. He didn't notice the long hair figure hidden in the shadow. Kurama sighed, knowing what has caust his Koorime that furious, and went back upstairs.
*****
Minamino Shuichi has been absent for a whole week. Nobody knows why. Yusuke was shocked to hear the news. He called Kuwabara, which they slammed the phone right on when he spoke. His friends were all gone, and he has no one to talk to. Not even his mom, Atsuko.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!" Yusuke yelled out to the mountain in frustration. He knew he has done the most terrible things in the whole world, but he couldn't apologize! No one gives him the chance to! He went to Kuwabara and he didn't even receive a 'hello' or any some sort. Not to mention Shizuru, Yukina, or... Keiko. Everyone takes him as an invisible man! He sat down on the grassfield with a thud, and buried his face into his hands.
He sat like that for a long time. Like eternity. Finally, a tap on his shoulder make him snapped out of his deep thoughts. He looked up, and saw a handsome youth with a sign of 'JR' on his forehead.
"Oh hi Koenma." Yusuke murmured a greeting, and looked away to the river down the hill.
"Hey, is that the way you greet people after a long week without anyone talked to you?" Koenma teased, and sat down besides the wide-eyed Yusuke.
"How'd you know?" Yusuke asked roughly. He didn't like others to point it out at him, especially someone who didn't even live in the same town.
"Hey, easy man!" Koenma smiled, and patted Yusuke's shoulder. "I know you're frustrated. You've just done something that no one has ever thought you would do. Well, even I was a little surprise back then."
"A little?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow, staring at Koenma in disbelief. "How could you say A LITTLE when I raped Kurama!? I'm out of my mind you know that??" Yusuke shouted at Koenma, who's looking at the sunset peacefully with a gentle smile.
"Well," Koenma began. "So what? You've done it, you've done it! There's no way to reverse it."
Yusuke lowered his head and yelled. "Then what should I do!? I can't forgive myself! Nor will the others!"
Koenma smiled. He knew Yusuke wasn't mean it to rape Kurama. Come to the other hand, thanks to Yusuke that Hiei actually proposed to Kurama... well that's not the case here. Koenma soothed Yusuke's rigid back, "The only thing you could do now is to get Kurama's forgiveness."
Yusuke looked up helplessly. "He won't forgive me. You don't know what happened. He won't..." he trailed off.
Koenma grunted, and pull Yusuke up. He slapped him on the face, and sent him to the ground with a thud.
"Bakayaro!" Koenma yelled. "You didn't even try, and you're jumping to the conclusion!? What the hell is wrong with you!?"
"Nothing's wrong with me!" Yusuke snapped. "Just leave me alone, will ya? Fuck!" he turned, facing another way, ignoring Koenma.
Koenma stared at Yusuke's back for a few minutes, and sighed, vanished into the air.
After Koenma's gone, Yusuke stood up. He sighed deeply with sadness, and headed toward his home-- the only place he could go to now.
