Hi all!

This is my first Yu Yu hakusho fanfic.

Just Read and Review please.

Chapter 1

Yusuke leaned against the gate in front of Keiko's school, his shadow directly below him in the noonday sun. He glanced at his watch. They should be out by now…He thought to himself. He glanced at his watch again. Instinctively he began to walk towards the main entrance when the bell rang. Moments later girls began to pour out of the school. Yusuke stopped and returned to his position by the gate, hoping Keiko wouldn't take too long to leave school. The past few years had been rough. After the Dark Tournament, his year of training had been the toughest ever. He challenged the strongest opponents he could find to matches, and then afterward trained with them until he could best them. After that, anything seems like a walk in the park, he thought wistfully.

As girls left school, walking by him, he could hear their whispered conversations… "Who is he?…", "Wonder if he's waiting for someone..." They all gave him a few feet of space as they skirted around him and out into the world.

"Your guard is down." A voice suddenly said to his right. Turning he saw Keiko smiling, clutching her bag in front of her with both hands.

"Hey! Don't go sneaking up on me!" Yusuke said. "I nearly attacked by instinct."

"In your dreams," Keiko retorted. "You know better than to automatically attack. Didn't Genkai teach you anything?"

"Oh sure," Yusuke replied. "But the Mazuku in side me might not." He grinned. "You never can tell-"he was cut off abruptly as Keiko's bag whistled through the air and smacked him across the cheek. "What was that for?" he demanded rubbing his sore cheek.

"That's for trying to make excuses." Keiko replied. "You never learn."

Two girls came up from behind Keiko and stood on either side of her. "Are you harassing her?" one asked.

"She's not interested in you or any of the hundreds of other guys who've asked her out." said the other.

"It's cool, really." Yusuke said trying to appease them. "I knew her in middle school." His answer didn't calm Keiko's friends, but they were taken aback momentarily as they processed the information.

"It's okay guys," Keiko said walking through the gate. "I was expecting to meet him." Turning around to face Yusuke, she asked, "Are you coming?"

"Ya, ya, I'm coming." Yusuke answered as he put his hands behind his head and followed Keiko down the road.

"You think she was just waiting for him?" one of Keiko's friends asked. "Two years is a long time to wait."

"Yes, maybe we should keep an eye on her." The other replied.

"Good idea."

Yusuke walked next to Keiko in silence for a minute after they left her school then he said. "I'm planning on getting a job."

"You?" Keiko asked speculatively, "Get a job? I don't believe that. You didn't even finish middle school! What kind of job can you get?"

"I dunno, maybe I can be a gym teacher. You don't have to know math or anything, you just got to know how to get kids to play a game or get in shape." Yusuke replied. "I could also look for kids with spirit awareness and train them. That could be fun."

"I guess that might work." Keiko thought aloud. "You might have to be a teacher or something first."

"Mmm, I doubt it," Yusuke replied, "I could probably learn how to teach pretty quick." They entered Keiko's house and Keiko disappeared upstairs to change out of her school uniform while Yusuke waited downstairs.

"Can I help you?" Mr. Yukimara asked, not recognizing Yusuke.

"Not really." Yusuke replied. "I'm waiting for Keiko."

A gleam twinkled in Mr. Yukimara's eyes as he recognized Yuske. "Well I'll be. Yusuke Urameshi. You took your time returning." He said.

"It was worth it sir." Yusuke replied. "I learned a lot." They talked for several minutes while Keiko changed. When she came down, she was wearing a pair of tan shorts and a sky blue shirt.

"Ready" Yusuke asked. Keiko nodded and left just behind Yusuke.

I know that this isn't very long. I just wanted to get the first chapter posted while I work on a second chapter.

READ AND REVIEW!!!
