Summary: This is a Keiko/Yusuke fic, just as I promise.
FOREVERMORE
Just like the star, it'll glisten in the sky unceasingly, without doubt I tell you, my love for you would last longer than that of the night diamond… forevermore.
Chapter 1: Don't Go…
18 years old Keiko Yukimura frowns at him.
"Again?" she asked him.
"Hai…gomen ne Keiko, but I'll return soon, I promise." Yusuke replied.
She shook her head. She knew she's being selfish, but her subconscious keep telling her to stop him, that she need not to be alone for this days to come. Something lingering out there in the dark, as if waiting for her and this give her an unwanted feeling of being alone.
She's been used of Yusuke going out there and everywhere leaving her alone. Sometimes she would think that her lover don't love her anymore, thus always on flee for something concerning his world. She's upset of course but she understands him. She knew that having a relationship with a half youkai half human means leaving day and night with worry, and hoping that he's still breathing somewhere out there.
She forced a smile on her face, "Go on, and just be careful."
"I will." Then he plants a small kiss on her cheeks before running along in the tunnel where the rest of his youkai friends waited for him patiently. He made a one last look at her before he entered completely the blinding light that held for them to be transmitted in the other world.
"I'll be careful too." Keiko whispered uncomprehendingly to herself.
****
Her long mahogany hair was swaying in the wind as she made her way toward the temple.
Drab in black pants and simple green long sleeved shirt, she half run to the shrine that's still a long way for her to accomplish.
The dusk was already sipping in the day, and she'd been trying not to be out after six. It was this sensitivity within her that keeps her so…
She'd been staying for a vacation in there, with Genkai and Yukina as company. Most of the time, Shizuku, Botan, and Kazuma were there too, thus she never been lonely.
Two long weeks since Yusuke left, but the uneasiness she's feeling was still in there.
"Yuna…" a voice called. She stops, looking around her, wondering where it came from.
"Yuna...Yuna…Yuna…" a raspy voice chanted.
She heard nothing, but inside her head the voice tuned the moniker.
"Who are you?" she asked loudly.
Nothing.
"Where are you?" she asked again.
Nothing.
"Are you calling me, or somebody?" she asked innocently.
"Yuna… "
The voice repeated again. She swirls around; standing in front of her was a man.
Tall man, with black mane of hair stared at him. His eyes were deep blue and utterly mesmerizing, and his face was like that of a perfectly sculpted face of a god in mythology. He was clothed in black armory with a red blood cape flowing at his shoulder.
Keiko stared aghast at the entity that stands before her. It's like she's staring at a black dashing knights of long ago that made its way from the fictional book to reality.
"Yuna!" he called her, with a longing in his voice.
Keiko shook her head, "demo, I'm not Yuna…"
The dark clothed man smile, his face become more handsome than ever, "You are Yuna…"
"No, I'm not…
"You are… and it's time for you to wake up"
Keiko takes a step backward, shaking her head.
"No…who are you?"
He just smile at her, " I don't have much time now my dear, don't' make it much harder…"
"STAY AWAY FROM ME….!" She shouted at the approaching man.
Until she no longer have a space to move to, she was trapped in between the huge tree trunk and the approaching stranger.
Yusuke…
A tear flows down her cheek.
The man cupped her face, tenderly wiping away her tears. "Don't be afraid my dear Yuna, or is that Keiko?"
She was too numb to answer.
"Still as beautiful as ever… very beautiful and fiery my beloved Yuna…" then he brushed his lips on her.
Keiko shivered, but stoned in action.
"In time…" he added, then drawing his sword at its sheath, he moved back ready to slashed the girl in front of him… he smile slightly, his eyes betraying nothing as it only held a longing look for her, " ….be patient…"
Keiko's eye widen, her heart knocks loudly in her chest, is this her end? She watched the sharp blade made into her….
She closed her eyes, then whispered, 'Yusuke'
