The Mystery of Love
(Redo)
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho
A/N- The first Mystery of Love was my first story on Now that I can write a bit better I shall redo it.
Keiko sat upright, screaming. That dream. The dream that always haunted her on rainy nights. The dream of the boy, a teenage one to be exact, was fighting a grotesque monster. She looked at Yusuke. He must have heard her scream for he turned around.
"Keiko, my love, what is the matter?" She looked into his green eyes. Those green eyes she had fallen in love with so long ago. Keiko shuddered at the thought of her dream.
"It was that dream again." That was all he needed to hear. He knew that that dream bothered her. He snuggled closer to her. His warmth...Keiko fell back asleep. The dream did not haunt her that night, nor any other night for the rest of her life. The one thing she did not know about the dream was that the boy was her future son.

He ran hard. He had to escape that evil place. That place where people dictated everything you did. That place where they made you work hard. He wasn't sure, but Satoshi thought that place was called school. He heard footsteps behind him. No doubt they were Naokos.
"Still following me?" he called back to the girl. "You'll never catch me!" His laughter could be heard carrying over the wind.
"Satoshi Urameshi! You can't quit ditching school. You will fail, you know!" He rounded a corner, and Naoko was lost from view.
He ran into a deserted building. He hadn't only been running to avoid school. After the retirement of his father, he had been appointed the honorable role of spirit detective. He was scheduled to meet Akiko there. Akiko was the new guide to the River Styx. Botan had retired; she now lived with Yusuke. Akiko was to take him to the Otherworld, where he would meet Koenma for his new mission. He new this time that his mission was a major one. He need not fail.
"Hey, cutie!" Satoshi turned around to see Akiko. Her long, flowing black hair draped over her shoulders. Her pink komono was line with hearts. She had always been a cheery person. She had always like Satoshi.
"Hey, Akiko. Are you ready to go?" he asked. He began to climb aboard the paddle-shaped stick that served as a flying machine. She grinned.
"I'll go anywhere with you." Though he would not admit it, he secretly liked her, too. That was why he blushed.
Koenma was pacing up and down on his office desk. Papers littered the floors. Satoshi noted that he looked very worried. Koenma spoke.
"Satoshi, Akiko, I your help. The Sacred Jewel has been stolen. The evil Demon-Lord Hiroyuki has stolen it. With it, he can merge the Demon World with the Human World. I do not even need to explain what will become of our world if that happens. It is your job to stop that from happening. Can you do it, Satoshi?"
"Of course, he can you silly old thing. My sweetums can do anything!" She giggled. Satoshi blushed again, deeper and he was more embarrassed than ever he was before.
Yusuke was smoking a cigarette. Keiko didn't like the idea of him smoking. So naturally, he did. It had been many days seen he had smoked one. It felt nice to have this one. Yusuke considered himself lucky. Koenma had let Yusuke keep his powers after retirement. It was on this day however, they led him to know his doom. He heard the demons coming, but they approaced to fast. Before he could do anything they were upon him. Ripping and tearing at his flesh. Relishing the blood they got from their foes body. He was powerless to do anything! His screams rent the air but no one was around to hear him. Besides, even if they could, no one could defeat these demons before it was too late.
Keiko was worried. Yusuke had been gone for hours. She had asked everyone who would know the possible location. No one knew. Even Kuwabara had no clue as to Yusuke's whereabouts. Keiko had tried to be optomistic. She had tried to tell herself that he was okay. It was Yusuke, he could always defeat them when he was younger. He still had his powers sothat shouldn't have changed should it?It was just for some reason she could ot bring herself to believe it.
Satoshi and Akiko were going through a mass of fog. They held hands so as not to be lost in all of the mess. Satoshi was secretly blushing.A black shaped appeared on the ground in front of them. At first Satoshi thought it was a demon. To be certain, Akiko turned the paddle down and flew over to the shape. Satoshi gasped with horror. That was no demon. That was his father, and he was dead. And with that everything turned cold. The air seemed to grow dimmer about them. Tears spilled from Satoshi's eyes. The barrier between the two worlds was diminishing.
