It was no secret that Kuwabara Shizuru doted on her younger brother (in her own, special, unique way.) Not exactly the most inspiring homemaker with the ever-present nicotine cloud billowing at her wake and a widely whispered reputation for being able to beat the crap out of juvenile delinquents, yakuza underlings, and minor youkai with minimal exertion, she still delivered a filling and satisfying breakfast every morning. Packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals and everything else a growing boy required, a well-balanced meal was exactly what Kuwabara Kazuma needed to jump start his days.

“Kazuma,” came the laconic greeting. “Breakfast.”

“. . .Yeah.”

“Yeah?” Shizuru took a concisely measured puff from her cigarette.

“Uh-huh. Yeah.”

“What the hell is yeah?” Her tone was still cool, but she was watching his descent like a raptor.

“Uh. . .nothing,” he mumbled. “Yeah. Uh-huh. Just yeah.”

“Dammit, are you awake?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you shitting with me?”

“Yeah.”

“. . . Kazuma.”

“Yeah?”

“Breakfast!”

Kazuma cracked his grainy eyes open, just in time to see a bony knuckle fly straight for his slack jaw.

Correction:

Packed with power, voracity, muscle, and everything else that characterized full-blown conniptions, a well-aimed punch was exactly what Kuwabara Kazuma needed to jump start his days.
