I'm having doubts about this one...
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho!
Revelation of the Truth
"Why?"
"Why did you come for me…?"
"Nii-chan…?"
"Yusuke nii-chan…"
"Save me…!"
That night, Yusuke woke up with cold sweat and he gripped his blanket close. Yusuke held onto his head and looked towards the picture frame next to his bed. It was of him and Keiko… as well as another small girl in the middle. Yusuke was looking to the side while his eyes looked to the camera with his arms crossed. Keiko was hugging the other girl's shoulder while giving the camera a big smile. The other young girl, physically smaller than Keiko and Yusuke, was smiling brightly albeit shyly and was holding onto Keiko's arms around her shoulder while her other hand held onto Yusuke's hand. Yusuke's eyes and the small girl's are the same in color and their face structures are similar to one another and it was not a surprise, after all, they are siblings to begin with.
"Yuzuki…" Yusuke whispered. He looked towards the calendar near his door and sighed, he's definitely going to have a bad day today, a very bad day.
"I'm so sorry…" Yusuke whispered as a tear dropped down onto his blanket followed by more droplets of water that made a large mark on his blanket. An immense felling of pain bubbled inside of him that made the usually strong Yusuke curled up under his blanket and silently cried because of this day.
Today is the day, the day where he lost his young baby sister for eternity.

Keiko quickly took notice of Yusuke's very bad mood that day and knew the reasons for it, and she herself was affected by it, as she was in a dark mood since she woke up that day and looked at her calendar to see that she had put a red circle around the date to remind her of the lost of Yusuke's younger sister, whom she had thought as her own.
Kuwabara knew of Yusuke's bad mood when Yusuke didn't retort to any insult he said to him. Usually Yusuke and he would get into fistfights already and just now Yusuke just sighed and said that he wasn't in the mood for it, which is rather strange for Yusuke. And he noticed that Keiko was also feeling rather down just like her boyfriend. When he had asked her if she would tell him what was wrong with both Yusuke and her and if he could help, Keiko just shook her head and said that no one could ever help them in this problem and apologized to him, saying that she needed some time alone in her room.
Both Hiei and Kurama were worried (Hiei didn't show any signs of it, but Kurama said he was). At first Kurama tried asking Kuwabara if he knew anything, but the latter said that he didn't know anything told the red-haired boy he had tried to ask both Keiko and Yusuke but that didn't give him any answers. Hiei watched from afar and somehow felt familiarity in the detective's eyes, it felt as if he had felt it before, long long ago. Hiei also took notice of Keiko's similarity in the term of mood with Yusuke and noted that it must be from the same reason. Hiei had talked about it with Kurama and the latter couldn't came up with a clue to what could have made Yusuke so down that day.
Botan was genuinely worried for both Yusuke and Keiko and decided to comfort the latter since she knew she couldn't make Yusuke open up to her. Botan stayed to comfort Keiko with the help of both Shizuru and Yukina. The three of them had tried to comfort Keiko to no avail. Keiko had kept on being silent without telling her friends what was wrong with her and Yusuke. But suddenly, tears poured out from her eyes and she cried while Shizuru held her close, patting her back gently.
"It's okay… you don't have to tell us about it… we're here for you…" Shizuru said.
"I tried to be strong… but Yusuke… I know he must be feeling worse than I am now, but I can't help it…"
"Keiko…"
"She was just too young… I missed her so much… Yuzuki-chan…" Keiko sobbed as Shizuru, Yukina and Botan all looked towards each other in confusion since they didn't recognize the name Keiko just uttered.
"Yuzuki…?"
/
"Onii-chan… where are you…?"
"Why haven't you come for me…?"
"I'm so scared… so so scared…"
"Yuzuki!" Yusuke woke up from his nap with a shout while his hand was outstretched as if he wanted to grab the air. Yusuke looked towards his hand and fisted it tightly while trembling.
"I couldn't save you back then… I'm so sorry…"
"Save who?" Yusuke quickly look down from his place on the tree and saw Kurama looking up towards him with Hiei beside him.
"None of your business…"
"You've been like this for the whole day, Urameshi! What's the matter with ya?" Kuwabara said, walking to join Kurama and Hiei on the ground.
"I just had a bad day alright? Just leave me alone for today, Kuwabara."
"Both you and Keiko are acting as if it's the end of the world! The girls are worried y'know!"
"Let them be… it's not like you can help me anyway… it's useless trying to talk to me today, leave it to tomorrow." Yusuke said nonchalantly.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it Yusuke?"
"Just leave me alone, Kurama." Hiei then sighed and shook his head.
"You heard him. He said he didn't need any help, that's why I didn't want to come here, fox." The black haired demon said, walking away from the tree.
"Yusuke! Guys!" Yusuke then sighed and jumped down to the ground. He dusted himself off from all the leaves and looked up to see Botan running towards them.
"What is it now Botan? I don't want to be disturbed today…"
"Koenma got work for you today!"
"Tell him I'll do it tomorrow… I'm not in the mood for everything today…"
"Both you and Keiko have been so depressed today! What's with you two anyway?"
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" Yusuke yelled as Botan and everyone jumped in surprise. Yusuke realized what he had done and turned away.
"I'm… not feeling okay, alright? I'm leaving… just give it to Kurama…" Yusuke said, walking away.
"Hey! Urameshi! Wait!" Kuwabara was about to follow Yusuke but Kurama placed his hand on Kuwabara's shoulder and shook his head.
"He really needed to be alone, you should leave him be." Kurama said as Kuwabara nodded. Then Kurama looked towards the stunned Botan and coughed to get her attention.
"So, what is it that Koenma wanted Yusuke to do?"
"Koenma said you should know the target… but it's pretty dangerous…"
"Who is the target?"
"Her alias is the Bloody Moon. No one exactly know who she is, but they said that she's not a demon rather a human…"
"Bloody Moon…?"
"Yes, do you know her, Kurama?"
"I've heard stories of her before, she is a recently working thief, isn't that right?"
"Koenma wouldn't call her a thief since she usually move on her moods."
"Has she killed someone?"
"Few demons, lower class and high class. She was thought as a threat by Enki, because she's very agile and could enter the human world without suspicion."
"Bloody Moon, you know her right, Hiei?" Kurama said, looking towards the shadow at the corner of the road. Botan looked towards the shadow then towards Kurama.
"Hiei…?"
"He's there, he's just not responding. You knew of her, don't you…?"
"What of it, fox?" Hiei spatted out, walking out from the shadow.
"I think it might be better if we go together, don't you think?"
"Do you think I'd go with whatever Koenma said? I'm not taking any orders from him."
"Suit yourself, Hiei. So, Kuwabara, you got some time?"
"… Sure… what about it?"
" I heard that if she's in a good mood, she might be easy to talk to and I think you're a good mediator."
"Hey, you're much better than me!"
"But considering the rumors that she is more gentle with humans, you might be a better option as a mediator."
"You're a human too, Kurama."
"But I have the demon fox inside of me and she could surely notice it."
"… Fine, I'm going. I'm going."
"Glad to hear. Are you in, Hiei?" Kurama asked the silent demon who scoffed and jumped away.
"Is that a yes? Or a no?"
"He might be there before we do, knowing how he is."
"He might not be there at all." Botan said.
"Let's just see, shall we?"
