Yusuke took in the sights as he strolled downtown.
"Ah," he began as he stretched his arms out and the folded them behind his
head, "It is so nice to take a day off every now and then."
As soon as the words left his mouth he heard running footsteps and a all to
familiar voice caroling, "Yusuke! Oh, come on, wait, please!" Botan
yelled over the crowd between her and Yusuke.
"Go away! I am taking a day off, and that's all I am saying Botan. Koemba
can go chew a pacifier for all I care!" Yusuke roared back as he quickened
his pace and distanaced himself from Botan.
"Yusuke, you jerk!" Botan shouted in frustration.
Yusuke slowed his pace at the sight of a familiar form at the next
crosswalk.
He slipped beside the figure and whispered as loudly as he dared, "Nice
skirt, Keiko!"
"Yusuke no baka!!" Keiko snarled as she whipped around and landed a slap
across Yusuke's face.
Keiko's anger subsided as she witnessed Yusuke do a drunken dance,
clutching his face, and then he regained his balance, blushing furiously as
he noticed the crowd of people that had seemed to appear out of no where.
"Uhh, Keiko, I was just wandering, you want to go do something? I have
managed to ditch the ditz and the toddler." Yusuke asked, still rubbing
the cheek.
"You certainly know how to ask a girl out, Yusuke. Umm, sure, there's a
great foreign arts film in town, could we go see that?" Keiko answered as
the crowds began to part.
"Yusuke, I thought we were past the whole 'toddler' thing." a voice
suddenly asked from behind.
"Gahh, Koemba! Don't surprise me like that and I thought I had escaped
Botan, and you!" Yusuke groanedd as a tall boy about his age slipped out of
the crowd and came to stand beside them.
"I guess this means we aren't going to the foreign arts film, doesn't it,
Yusuke?" Keiko said flatly as she turned and walked away.
"Wait, Keiko. . .!" Yusuke began as he started to follow her, when Koemba
reached out and stopped him.
"I am not playing around, Yusuke. This is serious business and I need you
strait away! Someone important to Spirit World is missing" Koemba yelled.
"Well, what do you want me to do about it? This had better be someone very
important, because I am missing a date with Keiko, and she wont forgive me
over something small." Yusuke demanded as he watched Keiko disappear into
the crowds.
"Don't worry so, Yusuke, its worth it." Botan gasped as she joined them,
"My sister, Karada, is missing."
