Yusuke was enjoying a peaceful late summer stroll towards the park. Suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of a mangled body in the middle of the street. Without another second of hesitation he ran to the corpse. As he approached the lifeless body he felt as id this was someone he knew, someone that was dear to him. Within 25 feet from the body Yusuke knew who it was, it was Keiko.
Yusuke was stunned but had to shake it off quickly because Keiko was in need in immediate care. Yusuke looked at her side and knew immediately from her gaping wound that she had been shot. She was lying in a pool of blood. Yusuke could not believe it; he went up to her and covered her with his jacket. He saw the bullet wound and he tore his shirt and tried to apply pressure. She was panicking, he could see it in her eyes, her breathing was small and rapid and she was beginning to hyperventilate.
"Keiko you're going to be okay" she saw him and whispered. He could not hear her, Kieko's voice was so voice was so faint. He came closer trying to listen with tears in his eyes. "Yusuke I'm sorry" she whimpered "Sorry for what? Stop talking like that!" She closed her eyes and did not open them. Yusuke stared at Keiko expecting her to move but nothing happened to her pale lifeless body. "This is wrong" he said stunned. He lowered his head in despair. He shook it off and carried her while he ran to the hospital.
Yusuke arrived impatiently yelling "Hey is anyone there? We need someone now!!" the doctor appeared arms crossed "what seems to be the problem." "It's Keiko she seems to be shot and she's barely breathing" the doctor stepped closer to Keiko "let me see, she has been shot in her side which has caused her difficulty to breathe." "Very observant" yusuke mumbled "how far did you run?" questioned the old man. Yusuke scratched his head "I'd say about four miles"
The old man's eyes suddenly changed from calm to alert "We must take her to the operation room immediately "he demanded. The doctor stared at yusuke " She's quite lucky to have someone like you." Yusuke blushed "She's just a friend got that old man?!!" They placed her on the operation table. The doctor held out his hand "scalpel" Yusuke scratched his head looking all over the room "scalpel, scalpel what in the hell is a scalpel?" The doctor gave a groan and leaned over and picked up the blade from the tray" "Hey what are going to do with that, hey you be careful you better not hurt her!" the doctor sighed.. "This is standard procedure, NOW IF YOU PLEASE!"
And just like that Yusuke was sent outside. 3 hours later the doctor came out with a bullet in his hand. Yusuke sprang up "How is she?" "Not so good I'm afraid, this here is a poison bullet. Not only does it do the damage as a regular bullet but also the poison in it causes the victim to slowly suffocate. While spreading the poison throughout the lungs I've tried to drain out all I could. I've done all I can for her. All we can do now is hope."
Yusuke could barely make out words "Th...Thanks" Yusuke stood at Keiko's side all night. But Yusuke was weak from carrying Keiko and he drifted to sleep. When Keiko awoke she saw Yusuke lying on her pillow and she calmly went back to sleep. When Keiko awoke the second time there was a pair of big brown eyes was staring back at her.
"Nice to see you awake" Yusuke got out of the bed and handed her the glass of water. "Don't get up just yet you should get your rest." "Thanks Yusuke, for taking care of me." "Don't mention it" she turned away facing the window and started to cry. "Uh Kieko what's wrong" "Nothing it's just that nobody has ever cared for me this much before"
Yusuke stared at her seriously "Keiko do you remember who did this to you?" Keiko's lips trembled "Oh Yusuke it was awful, the man that shot me moved with great speed, I couldn't run away. He said that he hated you any one who is associated with you including me" she put her head down, "he kept asking me where you were, I didn't say anything so, beat me then he shot me."
Yusuke stared "Haru?" Yusuke mumbled "what?" "Uh, nothing, I'll get him I think I have a good idea of who he is" Keiko held a firm grip on Yusuke's shoulder "Yusuke don't, I don't want him to hurt you, Oh Yusuke I was so scared!" she cried, Yusuke went up to hug her "you know you really scared me back there" he gazed at her "I will always take care of you Keiko." She cried in his arms "Keiko it's okay."
It was 3:00 in the afternoon "Shall we be going" Keiko smiled back at him "yes." As soon as Keiko jumped off her bed her feet were shaky and she tripped. "Are you all right?" Keiko put her hand to her head "Yeah I just feel a little dizzy." Then the doctor appeared "it's because you lost a little too much blood. You're quite a fighter. I'll have to keep you for a couple more days, rest is the most important thing you need right now." Keiko sat back on the bed "um... Okay may I use the phone I'll have to call my mother. Yusuke you can go home thanks for everything." "But I..." " I'll be alright just go, I'll see you later." Keiko assured him. "Are you sure you want me to leave? Alright bye Keiko I'll see you later"
Yusuke was walking down the trail where he and Keiko usually met. He saw all the couples looking at the pond. He started smiling then stopped he realized he was thinking of Keiko. "I wonder if she's okay, it's pretty chilly tonight. Where's my jacket?" Then it hit him "At the hospital!" He knocked on the door Keiko answered "Yes? Oh, Yusuke what are you doing here?" Yusuke looking down face red "don't look so surprised to see me I just came to get my jacket." "Oh, sorry I was going to return it to you." She hands him the jacket "Thanks" Yusuke said hesitating for words. "Uh, I guess I'll be off now." "Um you know it's getting dark soon. Why don't you stay the night?" Keiko spoke instantly "That doesn't sound so bad and I'm really tired." Keiko's face lit up "okay I'll call your mom now." "No need she won't even realized that I'm gone." "You sure?" Keiko asked questionably "positive" Yusuke replied.
Keiko walked over to the closet and rolled out a sleeping bag, pillows, heavy blankets, and sheets. Yusuke stopped her "Keiko I only need a blanket," "Nonsense Yusuke you'll catch a cold." Yusuke thought for a moment. "Well okay if you insist." By the time they finished spreading the sheets and covering the blankets it was already dark.
Yusuke glances over at the clock it was 8:30.He looks over and finds Keiko already asleep. He carried her to the bed, as he set her down he realized how beautiful she was. He started stroking her hair with his fingers. He was getting closer and closer, he realized he wanted to kiss her. He stared at her lips, Keiko squinted he eyes open.
She whispered "Yusuke what are you doing?" Yusuke surprised she was awake. "Uh nothing" "Oh, okay good night" Yusuke feeling rather foolish climbed into his sleeping spot and tried to sleep. When Keiko awoke Yusuke was nowhere to be found. She began thinking Yusuke abandoned her. Then she saw a small table with a note and a vase full of roses. The note read:
Sorry Kieko,
Had to meet Kuabara.
See ya later!
Yusuke
P.S. Hope you like the roses.
"Yusuke your handwriting is kind of sloppy." She put the note back on the table. She realized a pillow was lying on the floor were Yusuke had slept. She rested her head on it then she took a deep breath and buried her head in the pillow full of Yusuke's scent.
(Kuwabara's house) {Yusuke knocking} "Hey Kuabara get your lazy ass out of bed." (door opens) "What do you want Urameshi!" "We gotta talk" Kuwabara back against wall, arms crossed "You woke me up, so what do you want. And this had better be good." Yusuke cheeks turned slightly red
"Well, it's about Keiko, I think I like her." Kuabara tilted his head and thought for a moment. "You can never be too sure," Kuabara assured him " just tell me the last thing you remember doing for her and I'll decide." " I remember leaving her flowers in a vase." Yusuke told him quite blankly. And looked back into his face honestly.
Kuwabara's face turned pale he sat back and stared at the wall stunned, Kuabara screams "Something wrong Kuwabara?" Kuwabara took his stare off the wall and back at Yusuke. "Uh, Urameshi you got it bad." "Got what?" "You got the L-O-V-E Love!" Yusuke was stunned "Are you serious you gotta be kidding, I was trying to be nice to her. "No Urameshi it's unmistakable. Wow! You and Keiko a couple, I knew you two were friends but wow!" "Shut up!" "Hey Urameshi I thought you never could love someone hee hee." Yusuke glared
"Just kidding, just kidding." Yusuke put his fists in his pockets "So you wanna head to the store, pick up some flowers perhaps." "Hey don't push it." (Later at the store) "Man..I can't believe we actually went to the store, I was only kidding man!" "hey I just thought they might be nice having something vibrant in that room, just a pale room is enough to have anyone feel-" he stopped dead in his tracks.
"I just thought I saw Keiko "My eyes must be playing tricks on me." Few minutes later they were in the rice section. Keiko was getting rice also, they both reached for the same bag "Sorry my fault." they both said
"Keiko? I thought you were at the hospital." "Yeah well it seems I made a fast recovery." Kuwabara whispered in Yusuke's ear nudging him on the side "Say something flattering Urameshi think!" "Ninshiki rice it's the best heh heh." Kuwabara slapped his hand to his face "You two stay here and talk, I need to pick up some stuff my sister asked me to buy." " What stuff?" "Stuff Urameshi stuff!" and he ran off "What's the matter with him?" Kieko asked,
"I don't know.... (Pause) Do you think you can come over to my house later? I need to tell you something." "I'm not sure." "Think about it okay?" He put his hands in his pockets, head down and walked away in disappointment. Then suddenly a display pyramid of cans fall over.
Keiko looks over "Kuwabara? What are you doing?" "Uh, looking at,"(reads can) pork and beans? Tosses can over shoulder and hits someone on the head anime style "Listen Kieko you really should go see him, he's actually sorta sick with a fever." "Really he didn't look sick." "Oh, he is." Kuabara smirked "So I'll go tell him your coming?" "Uh Wait a -" "see ya!" and he ran off cutting her sentence short
"Hey Urameshi wait up! "What Kuwabara?" "Keiko's coming to your place." "Fine but you have to help me fix up my house!" "What I don't want to be included in this!" "Well your gonna be included whether you like it or not!" "Awwwww!"
Around 5:30 they were setting up the table
"By the way Kuabara how did you persuade Keiko into coming?" Kuwabara didn't answer "Promise you won't get mad?" "No" "Well I kinda told her you were sick." "You What?!!" "I told her you have a fever." "Kuwabara I'm gonna beat your brains out!" "Hey you said you wouldn't get mad." "No I didn't" "Oh yeah, but Yuremeshi you really do have the love fever and it won't be cured unless you tell her.
I figure you should tell her tonight." "Why?" Kuwabara stared out the window "it's a full moon tonight" "So" "Sheesh Urameshi! You're not a romantic at all are you? You know maybe you're not ready for this maybe I should stay you know, supervise." "No way!! You go home!!" "Fine I'm just concerned for Kieko." "Well, don't"...pause... Kieko arrived at the door
"Hello?" "Hi Kieko" says Kuabara "Kuabara? What are you doing here?" " Actually he was just on his way out way out, weren't you Kuwabara?!".. "Uh..yeah." "Thanks for lending me that tape Kuwabara." (Wink wink) "What tape?" Yusuke stomped on his foot "oh right." Said Kuwabara through clenched teeth. Kuabara headed out the door "See ya later guys." "Kieko you wanna come in?" "Sure, Yusuke I've never seen your house so clean."
Yusuke was enjoying a peaceful late summer stroll towards the park. Suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of a mangled body in the middle of the street.
