Awakening
Awakening
Yusuke and Keiko managed to see each other a few more times in Keiko's dreams when he managed to get away from Botan and the little girl, Sayaka. Each time they would explore each other's body and find their release, but they hadn't tried to go all the way yet. So far as Yusuke could tell his encounters with Keiko were still a secret and he hoped to keep it that way.
Keiko walked down a hallway at school minding her own business as she thought about Yusuke. As she was wondering when she would see him again she heard someone call out to her.
"Yukimura, do you have a minute?" A boy said and she stopped to wait for him. He was tall and very cute with a nice smile.
"I'd been eying…I mean, thinking about you ever since school started." He began. "Would you…um, like to go out with me?" He asked. "I can promise you a nice time." He added with a winning smile.
"I'm sure…and thank you…but no." Keiko said politely. He was nice looking but she hadn't missed the way his little speech had started. It made her uneasy and irritated.
"What?! Why?! You mean you've already got a boyfriend…?!" He exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah." She said with a nod as Yusuke's smirking face entered her mind. "I'm sorry." She said before walking away from his shocked figure.
Keiko wondered why she had been uncomfortable with the boy asking her out, and why she had refused him. Why did she tell him she had someone else? Yusuke had come to her mind but that couldn't be it could it? They were just friends, but then friends didn't do the things they had done together recently. Did it count if it was in a dream? She thought so since it was his spirit there with her and not her imagination.
She had been thinking about Yusuke a lot recently, but she thought that was expected with the things they had been doing. Then she remembered that she had been thinking about him a lot before he first visited her in her dreams, but that was because she missed him so much.
She was confused. She still missed him even though she saw him occasionally in her dreams. It was only his spirit and she wanted him back in his body. She wanted to be able to see and talk to him outside her dreams.
Keiko remembered the time when he had rescued her and then brought her back to his house. That had been nice. She got to see him and touch him in his body, to feel his arms and his warmth, and to top it off she had gotten her first kiss and more. It had been wonderful. She wanted that again.
She decided to go see him. It had been a while and she needed to make sure his mother was taking care of him. So she went home after school and changed out of her uniform then headed to Yusuke's house.
When she got there she saw the mess and read the note his mother left saying that she would be away and for her to look after him. Not only was the place a mess, she found Yusuke practically covered in junk, and as she watched, a pile toppled over on him. She rushed forward and quickly moved the junk away, tossing the items aside, and wiped the dust from his face.
As she cleaned him she thought about how very attractive he was, and even more so when he was asleep and relaxed. His lips looked so very soft and inviting. She remembered how they felt against hers as she leaned closer to him, but then she paused as she realized what she had been about to do.
"This is your neighborhood association with an alert!" The alert sounded loudly through the neighborhood. "Conditions are very dry today! The fire danger is high!"
"What am I thinking?!" She exclaimed as she pulled away and got to her feet. She couldn't kiss him, not without him being present, and for all she knew his spirit was around watching her. What if he was? What did he think of her?
She fled his room and the house altogether in embarrassment, deciding to come back later to clean up.
Yusuke, Botan, and Sayaka were checking in on Keiko since Sayaka wanted to see what she looked like. In the process they witnessed a boy trying to ask Keiko out. Yusuke didn't show it but he was pissed at that guy, and also very pleased when Keiko turned him down. She was his after all. Even if she hadn't realized her feelings yet.
The small group followed her as she made her way to Yusuke's house, and saw the mess his mother had left as well as how dirty the area around his body was. They watched as Keiko cleaned up the junk that fell on him as well as the dust on his face. Then Yusuke's eyes widened as she leaned forward as if to kiss him. He didn't mind her doing it but he would rather her do it when he could respond. Still, he made sure not to show his feelings on his face since he didn't want Botan and the little girl to know what he was feeling.
Keiko seemed to change her mind before their lips touched and ran from the house. They followed her out and were going to continue following her, but they saw a man open one of the windows and toss something in. The next thing they knew smoke was flowing from the window and flames were invisible and spreading quickly.
"Arson! Ma didn't even lock the windows!" Yusuke exclaimed in outrage, and then began to panic as he realized seconds later the danger to his body.
"Wake up! We're about to die! Again!" He yelled at himself even though he knew it was useless, and tried desperately to get back into his body.
"You accessed your body just the other day, and it'll be three weeks before you can do it again!" Botan told him rather unhelpfully.
"In three minutes all I'll have to access is ashes!" He snapped back.
"I know! We have to get help!" Botan said anxiously.
Yusuke went to a neighbor's house and tried to get the man's attention but it was useless since he couldn't hear him, the same with anyone else he tried.
"What about Kuwabara? His sixth sense would allow him to hear us." Botan suggested.
"We don't know where he is and it would take too long to find him too long for him to get here. Not to mention he might not believe what he's sensing." He said.
"Still, I'm going to try and find him anyway." Botan said.
Yusuke didn't care; didn't even see her leave. He was busy trying to see if anyone would notice the fire and come help. When they did finally notice it was too late. The flames were high and no one knew there was anyone in the house.
"Look! Keiko's back!" Sayaka called out.
As she walked Keiko couldn't believe she had almost kissed Yusuke. Of course they had kissed before, but it didn't seem right to kiss him when he wasn't in his body. Like she was taking advantage of him. Just the thought had her blushing. She didn't think she could do something like that, but she did wonder what Yusuke would have thought if she had.
Suddenly she heard a few people around her talking about a fire and realized they were heading toward Yusuke's house. She didn't like that and hoped her sudden fear was wrong as she ran back to his house. She arrived to see a ton of people standing around watching a burning house. Her heart sank as she saw that it was Yusuke's house. She began to panic as she realized no one was trying to stop it. She needed to let them know Yusuke was in there. He couldn't come back if he didn't have a body. Couldn't come back to her. He would really be gone.
Keiko went to the closest people and told them someone was in there, but they said that if there really was then they were a goner because the fire had spread too much for anyone to go in.
She wasn't going to stand for that. She would have to get him out if no one else would. They didn't have time to wait for the fire department to arrive. His body would be long gone by the time they arrived. So she ran forward, pushing and shaking off those who realized what she was going to do, dropped her bag, and dumped a bucket of water over her head before going through the front door before anyone could try and stop her.
Keiko moved through the house, fear and determination racing through her as she held up her arm against the flames. It was so hot and there was so much smoke that she had trouble making her way through but she managed to make it to Yusuke's room.
When she saw him she panicked at seeing the blanket covering him on fire. She quickly threw it off and slipped her arm beneath his shoulders and sat him up. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was still breathing. She then pulled his arm around her shoulder, wrapped an arm around his waist and struggled to her feet as she pulled him up with her. She turned to leave only to see her exit blocked by flames.
She stood there, wide eyed, struggling with Yusuke's weight as she looked around for some way to escape. There was none. No matter where her eyes landed all she saw was fire and smoke. There was no way out. Was she going to die there with Yusuke's body? It was so hot in there. Was she going to burn to death? Or would the smoke get her first? As she coughed she wondered fearfully which one would hurt more. She didn't know and didn't want to find out, but it looked like she was going to anyway.
Keiko looked at Yusuke's body as she shifted to hold him better. Would she ever see him again? If she died there would she see him when it happened? Was he there now watching all of this? Was he angry that she risked her life to save his body?
Knowing him she was sure he was if he was watching, but she would take his anger over having his body be turned into ashes. But then it looked like they were both about to become ashes. At least he wasn't in his body to feel the pain. At that thought she wondered, in a sort of scared daze, if it had hurt to be hit by a car or if his death had been instant. She had never thought to ask him. She hadn't wanted to dwell on the details of his brief death.
She sighed sadly and coughed and gasped on the smoke filled air. She never thought she would die young let alone being burned to death. She was scared. She didn't want to die. She didn't want to leave her parents. She looked around before looking at Yusuke's body again.
But if Yusuke's waiting for me when it happens… She thought but it trailed off as a path through the fire suddenly opened before her. She didn't question it. She just followed it until she reached the safety of the open air outside the house.
Surprised and shocked exclamations greeted her as people walked closer to her, but then a woman, who looked vaguely familiar, pushed through the crowd and urgently got her and Yusuke away from there before people started getting curious and the fire department could call someone to look at Yusuke.
The woman brought them to her house as quickly as possible. It turned out she was Shizuru, Kuwabara's sister, the guy Yusuke had used to let her know that he wasn't really dead.
Shizuru told her not to worry, that she wouldn't tell anyone about Yusuke still being alive, and make sure her brother didn't find out. Her parents wouldn't ask questions so they were okay in that department. She then kindly helped Keiko with her singed hair, cutting it and fixing it, and gave her some clothes to borrow so she could change and get cleaned up.
While Keiko showered she went over what happened, and began to realize how she felt about Yusuke after nearly losing him again. She liked him. She liked him a lot. It was all starting to make sense; all her emotions. Her extreme sadness, missing him so intensely, being happy when she saw him and heard his voice. The experimenting and the fact that she was participating in those actions at all. Running into a burning building to save his body. She really liked him, and the experimenting was like they were dating, like he was her boyfriend.
Is that what I want? Do I want Yusuke as my boyfriend? The more she considered her feelings about him and thought about him the more she realized that she did. She wanted to be able to hold his hand, hug him, kiss him, and even watching him fight as insane as that sounds. Now she needed to consider how Yusuke felt. Does he like me? Was our experimenting just that to him and nothing more? Would he consider making me his girlfriend at all? She wondered. She knew that he desired her, but was that enough to want to date someone? She didn't know and didn't know how she was going to find out.
Keiko finished her shower and dried off. As she was getting dressed she glimpsed herself in the mirror, seeing her short hair, and wondered if Yusuke would like it. Wondered if he would miss her long hair. She sighed and finished dressing then went back to Shizuru's room to gather her clothes.
Before leaving she got Shizuru's phone number and address to give to Yusuke's mother, and was assured that while Yusuke was there she could come see him whenever she wanted. Keiko thanked her for that and helping her with Yusuke, and kindly declined to stay for dinner when she was offered, and left to do her shopping again before going home.
The next day she was walking with her friends after school when she heard her name being called. She looked back and saw Shizuru walking toward her. They talked lightly about her new hair–do and the clothes she had borrowed.
"Oh, just a sec." Shizuru said as she was about to leave. "There's a ghost hovering nearby, a boy about your age, watching over you. A good guy, in spite of his tough act." She described. "Ring a bell?" She asked curiously with a smile.
"Yeah." Keiko said with a smile. As she watched Shizuru walk away she blushed as she thought it was a good sign that Yusuke was there with her. If he was spending his time watching her, even if just to check on her after the fire, then that had to mean he liked her.
After the stressful events of the day Yusuke took some time to think. He thought about how he felt at seeing Keiko rushing into his burning house to save his body. He had been angry that she would risk her life and afraid she would get hurt. He was only a spirit but he thought his heart would stop when he saw her get trapped inside the house by the fire and burning debris. He hadn't wanted her to get hurt at all let alone die trying to save his body, especially since he wasn't in it.
He'd never been so relieved when Koenma had shown up. He had been sure the brat would be able to save Keiko, and he had. Although, when he found out about needing a part of her body as payment for his involvement he had been less then pleased, and even more so when the brat revealed that it would be her hair. It had been a good thing Koenma disappeared after that revelation because he had been ready to beat the shit out of him for playing with him like that.
Beyond that he was glad that she was okay and that his body was safe. Botan hadn't been able to find Kuwabara but she found his sister, and she was apparently more sensitive about things then her brother. He thought that was a good thing since it meant she hadn't hesitated to come, and even more so to help get Keiko and his body to a safe place.
"There's no point in coming back to life if Keiko's dead!" He remembered his outburst to Sayaka. He hadn't really been thinking when he said that, but it was true and revealed to him just how strong his feelings for her were.
Clearly Keiko was more important to him then his mother, but what did he expect? She always seemed to be there for him when his mother wasn't and she always wanted more for him then to be some absentee student who was always fighting. And now his feelings were beyond the emotional aspect with the physical experimentation added to the mix. He desired Keiko and wanted to be with her. She was his one. He knew her well enough to know she would never cheat on him, and he definitely wouldn't given his personal values.
It was a good thing he knew Keiko liked him. He hadn't asked her but her actions were clearly telling him that she did. Still, he needed his body back before he could do anything about it. When he was back in his body he would ask her to be his girlfriend. Doing it now would be pointless since no one but the two of them would know. Of course the two of them were all that mattered, but he would not hide their relationship.
The next day Yusuke followed Keiko around wanting to make sure she was fine after the fire. He would have gone to her in her dream the night of the fire, but he wanted to be careful with Botan and Koenma around. After all, he knew it was Koenma who ultimately decided if he got to go back into his body. He was glad he at least didn't have to worry about Sayaka anymore with her finally crossing over.
Keiko looked fine and acted the same, if a little self-conscious about her new haircut. As far as he was concerned he would rather her have to grow her hair back then have to deal with burns or not be around anymore. Her hair was different sure, but it was still her. He would have to make a point to let her know he didn't care. Although, now that it was so short he found he did prefer her hair long. He would have to let her know that as well.
He continued to follow her around the rest of the day, and saw for himself that Kuwabara's sister was very sensitive to spiritual things, seeing as how she could see him clearly. He liked that Keiko instantly recognized that it was him following her, and liked the smile and blush on her face even more.
Maybe I'll tease her about that tonight. He thought as he watched her.
~YUYU~
Keiko rushed through Yusuke's house on her way to his room, her eyes skittering all around at the flaming walls and floor, sweat mixing with the water she dumped over her head. She coughed, unable to help breathing in the smoke filled air. All she cared about was getting to Yusuke and getting him out before his body burned and there was nothing for him to come back to.
When she finally arrived at his room she skidded to a stop and gasped in horror. He was on fire! His bed was on fire, the comforter covering him was on fire, and his hair was on fire! She moaned as she watched the fire spread to his face before pulling her eyes away with a flinch.
She wanted to scream in pain for him but all she could do was cough and gasp as tears streamed from her eyes. She couldn't save him. She couldn't save her Yusuke. His body was dying right before her eyes, and there was nothing she could do. She sank to the floor and hunched and covered her face, unable to take the sight of his burning body. He was gone. Yusuke was gone and she would never see him again.
Keiko was so lost in her distress that she never noticed the fire spreading behind her, cutting off her exit.
Yusuke appeared behind Keiko to see her sinking to the floor, the room on fire. He stepped back in surprise and then flinched and quickly moved as he realized he had appeared directly in a flame. It took him a couple of frantic moments to realize that he wasn't on fire and that the flames didn't hurt, but just as quick he understood that because it was her dream the flames would hurt her. She was clearly not paying attention to her surroundings in her grief over what was clearly his burning body, so he stepped up and knelt behind her before putting his arms around her.
"It's just a dream Keiko." Yusuke soothed as he held her. "You weren't too late. You saved my body." He assured her.
"Yusuke?" Keiko questioned as she lowered her hands and looked over her shoulder to see him.
"I'm here. I'm real. My body didn't burn in the fire. You got me out in time." He reassured her.
Keiko closed her eyes and leaned back into him with a relieved sigh as tears leaked from her eyes. Yusuke held her, comforting her for a few moments until he noticed the flames getting closer.
"You need to change the scenery right now! The flames might hurt you since this is your dream!" He said urgently. He thought it may only hurt inside the dream and not her real body, but he wasn't about to sit there and watch her be burned.
Keiko gasped and tried to think of a place to settle in. She wanted to be outside in the open so she quickly thought of the park she had made the first time Yusuke came to her in her dreams. The fiery room faded away as grass sprouted beneath them and spread along the ground around them. Trees, tall and thick, appeared here and there as paths began to wind through the fresh grass. Sunlight shined down on them through branches and leaves from the bright blue sky.
Yusuke moved to sit next to Keiko, making sure to keep in contact since she was still upset. Not that he could blame her. She had run into a burning building to get his body out, and had been trapped for what had to have been a few terrifying minutes before getting out. Judging by the dream having his body burning she was clearly worried about him, and that mix wasn't good.
"Are you feeling better now that you're away from the fire and know I'm okay?" He asked as he gently rubbed her back and neck, occasionally touching her short hair.
"Yes." Keiko said with a nod before falling silent as she wiped her eyes. "Were you at your house during the fire?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah I was." He answered. "I've been following you all day, but still, how are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm fine. I don't have any burns or side effects from the smoke. The only thing that suffered was my clothes and hair." Keiko said softly, and Yusuke could tell by the way she said 'hair' that she was uneasy about it.
"You look fine Keiko. It's different, but its better then being dead." He said as he ran his fingers through her short locks. "Still, I'll be happy when it's long again." He added.
"Were you upset when I went into the fire to save your body?" She asked as she glanced at him.
"I was angry, but I was scared as well." Yusuke admitted. "I didn't want to see you die trying to save my body." He added with a shrug.
Yusuke then moved on to another subject, not wanting to continue on about his feelings. He told her that Sayaka had moved on after the fire, and that she was a nice little girl but he was glad to be free of her. He thought that with her gone he might be able to come see her more easily.
He then began to tell her about the time he spent inside the body of a guy he knew named Matsuo. He didn't know why he was telling her. He guessed it was just a habit to automatically let her know what he had been up to.
He explained that he and Botan had seen a fight and he wanted to watch it, only to realize that it was more of a beating and that he knew the guy getting beat up. He had wanted to stop it since he thought three on one was unfair, so he went inside his body when he was unconscious and beat the crap out of the guys.
After he was done he realized he couldn't get out of Matsuo's body, so he brought him home and settled in the guy's room. After being there a few moments Matsuo woke up. He thought he was just hearing voices from being hit too much, but Yusuke set him straight real quick. Once Matsuo was sure he wasn't going crazy Yusuke learned that he wanted to win one boxing match but he kept talking himself down until he felt like he couldn't even try to do it. While sharing his body Yusuke argued against those doubts and Matsuo was able to get in the ring and fight.
"How did you get out of his body?" Keiko asked.
"Matsuo made a firm decision instead of waffling back and forth, so in a way I wasn't needed anymore." Yusuke answered.
"Did he win his fight?" She asked curiously.
"He did. He was all kinds of excited." He said as he rolled his eyes, and watched her nod and look away with a slight sigh.
"I'm glad you didn't get stuck in his body." She said quietly.
"Me too." Yusuke agreed as he ran his fingers through her hair. He hadn't stopped his soothing motions and now that talking seemed to be done he was going to move them along to something much more interesting. He placed his free hand on the far side of her face and slowly turned her toward him to claim her lips with his.
Keiko turned and wrapped her arms around Yusuke's waist as she leaned against him. She wanted to feel his warmth, feel the solidness of his body to reassure herself that he was really there with her.
Kissing Keiko was great in Yusuke's opinion. They had gotten better at it since the first time, more confident in their ability. The feeling of her tongue swirling and sliding against his was a feeling he enjoyed. He couldn't get enough of the feel of her soft lips against his, of sucking each one until it was plump and swollen.
He moved his hands down to her waist and grabbed the bottom of her top before pulling it off over her head. He smiled at seeing her bare chest, the soft breasts he liked to grope so much. Then he shifted his body, leaning against her until she was lying back in the grass, and continued to kiss her, pressing his lips to hers.
Keiko hummed into Yusuke's mouth as she ran her fingers through his hair. The grass was cold but he did a good job of distracting her from the discomfort. She certainly needed it. She was still upset at the way her dream had started with the fire and finding his body catching fire and watching him burn, thinking she was losing him and there was nothing she could do.
After that scare she wanted, needed to feel that he was still with her. She needed to know that he hadn't left her alone, that he was still coming back to her. He began to pull away and she made a sound of protest as he sat up, but quieted as she watched him pull his shirt off and toss it aside.
Yusuke leaned back down, blanketing Keiko's body and brought his lips back to hers, enjoying the feel of her warm skin against his. He pressed his lips to hers repeatedly as he snaked his fingers into her soft short hair. His free hand gripped her waist and he rolled them so that she lay on top of him, her light weight pressing down against him. The grass was cool against his skin but he didn't mind. He was grateful to feel it since the only time he felt anything was in Keiko's dreams.
Keiko broke away from the kiss and grasped slightly as she took in their changed position. She wasn't sure what to do so she just brought her lips back to his, and trembled as she felt his hands moving over her back and hips, his fingers in her hair.
Her breathing hitched and puffed against his lips as she felt one of his hands slide over her bottom and caress before gripping and pushing down. He lifted his hips and pressed them up against hers. She trembled and brought her lips back to his as she pressed her hips down against his and up against his hand. It still surprised her that she liked him touching her there, liked the feel of his fingers pressing against her and his palm caressing her.
They settled into a good rhythm but Yusuke wanted more. He wanted to feel her skin against his, so he easily pulled up her skirt and nearly groaned at finding that she was wearing panties.
'Of course she wouldn't wear a bra but would wear panties.' He complained as he found the clasp to her skirt and undid it before gently rolling so she was beneath him once again.
Yusuke sat up on his knees and pulled her skirt and panties over her hips and down her legs, watching as she freed one foot at a time, before tossing them aside. He stood and pulled his boxers and pants down easily, glad he was wearing sweats since he didn't have to worry about struggling with a zipper. He freed his feet and tossed the clothing onto his discarded shirt before going back to Keiko. She was so soft, so soft and warm. He missed feeling warm. He hadn't been a spirit very long but he had noticed that he was forgetting what it felt like to be cold and warm.
Keiko sighed happily as she enjoyed the feel of Yusuke's warm skin against hers and the pressure of his weight. She wrapped her arms around his neck, welcoming him as his lips pressed hard against hers. She shivered but it had nothing to do with the cool grass. The feel of Yusuke's hot length against her womanhood was intimidating but she still liked the feel, especially when he began to thrust his hips against hers. She moaned and wrapped a leg around his waist as she felt him slip his arm under hers and grip her shoulder. It was the closest she would get to him holding her in their position and she was going to enjoy it.
The two lost themselves in their activity, rubbing their bodies together, their hips thrusting and grinding, neither noticing that the actions were new. They simply wanted to feel each other and lose themselves in the pleasurable sensations flooding their bodies. Yusuke wanted to enjoy the ability to feel the cold and warmth against his skin; he wanted to soak in the sensation of expressing his feelings for Keiko with his body. Keiko wanted to enjoy the time Yusuke spent with her, wanted to enjoy the sensations he was making her feel, enjoy the feel of his hands moving on her.
Their breathing began to quicken, their hips moving frantically against each other, furiously trying to work up the friction to gain the release they had helped each other experience before. They tried to share another kiss but their lips trembled too much to allow it, and soon enough Keiko was crying out at the pleasure bursting inside her; Yusuke only a few moments after her.
As they caught their breath they looked at each other, sharing a silent look full of things they were not ready to say, before kissing with a passion that excited their bodies all over again.
Yusuke floated around over a beach one morning waiting for Botan to come back from whenever she had disappeared to. He couldn't help remembering the last time he visited Keiko. They had given each other relief many times since they started their experimenting, but that was the first time they had tried it using their bodies and not their hands. He closed his eyes as he remembered the feel of moving against her body, the softness and smoothness of her skin, the warmth. He recalled the feel of her clinging to him, and the sounds she made.
He sighed as he opened his eyes, wishing he could go to her right then, but he knew he couldn't since it was morning. Keiko was most likely awake by now and if she wasn't then she would be soon. Not enough time for the kind of visit he wanted with his girl.
"Guess what Yusuke. You get to come back to life." Botan said just as suddenly as she had arrived. He was a little shocked and then suspicious since the last time she told him he could return to his body it turned out to be only once a month to keep it alive.
"This is the real deal! Complete Revival!" She said, having seen the suspicion on his face. "You're going to be alive again."
"She's right." Koenma said, popping in just as suddenly and confirmed what Botan said. "There's a deadline. You only have until tomorrow to get back into your body."
"Why?" Yusuke asked and listened as he was told that the soul and body had harmonics and they had to match perfectly for him to be able to get back into his body for good, and that the cycle for that perfect match was long. He didn't understand about the harmonics part, but he understood that tomorrow was the day they would match.
"How long is my cycle?" He asked.
"Fifty years." Koenma said simply.
Yusuke was shocked. If he missed out on his chance at getting back into his body then he wouldn't be able to try again for another fifty years. By then it would be way too late. Keiko would be an old woman by then and would have moved on with her life. There was no way he would force her to wait for him. He wasn't even sure he would want to come back after such a long wait.
"You're going to need help from a living person, and it has to be a female." Koenma said. "It usually takes a single transfer of energy, a breath of it through mouth to mouth. A kiss in a sense. For you it will take more then a single transfer of energy a kiss would bring. You'll need a continual transfer. In other words, you'll need sexual intercourse so the energy will pass through the mouth and pubic area at the same time at a continual pace until you've revived." He explained.
Yusuke was shocked speechless, but he thought about it. He reasoned in his way that instead of putting a battery in a CD player he would need to plug it up to a wall so as not to take the risk of the battery not having enough juice and dying in the middle of a song. It was just a bit much for his mind that he would need sex to come back to life.
"You need to send a message to three females tonight to give yourself the best chance of one of them understanding and responding in time." Koenma stated.
Yusuke nodded but wondered if he should even bother. He could just send his message to Keiko and she would come. He couldn't risk going to her himself with both Botan and Koenma sticking close, but she should know by now to trust the strange dreams that involve him. He was glad for their experimenting and his feelings for her. If they were still just friends and nothing more he wasn't sure he would be able to do it. He wasn't sure if she would have been able to do it.
"I only know two females. My mom and Keiko, and my mom is absolutely out of the question. I don't even want to put that kind of dream in her head. Keiko I can deal with. She's my friend, my age, easy on the eyes, and a good kisser." He said.
"What if she doesn't understand and doesn't come? What if she doesn't believe?" Koenma asked.
"We'll have to think of something because I don't know any other females." Yusuke answered.
"You could send a message to Kuwabara's sister as well." Botan suggested. "You don't know her, but she's female and would understand the message given how spiritually sensitive she is."
"No." Yusuke refused. "If it was a simple kiss I wouldn't mind, but this is different. I can't sleep with someone I don't know. We'll just have to make sure Keiko understands and believes."
"Okay. I hope she believes the message." Koenma said with a slight frown.
~YUYU~
Keiko stood wearing a night gown beside Yusuke's bed looking down at him. His entire head was glowing gold. She pulled the covers down and saw that it wasn't just his head. His entire body was glowing gold. She somehow knew that this was right. It was a good thing. He was supposed to be glowing.
She hiked up her gown and straddled his body then leaned over and kissed him. When she pulled back she smiled happily to see his eyes opening. He was back. Now she just had to make sure he stayed for good. She leaned her hands on his chest and ground and rubbed her hips against his. It wasn't long when she felt him hardening beneath her. She stopped long enough to free him from his pajamas then pulled her gown up more and connected her hips back to his, feeling his warm skin against hers and the beginning heat of his length against her womanhood. She felt his fingers brush against her thighs and she looked to him to see him looking at her intently.
"I need more; I want more." He said, so she lifted herself up and took his now hot hardened length in her hand and eased herself on him.
She carefully lifted her hips up and down, slowly at first, then faster as her pleasure grew. At some point Yusuke's hands gripped her hips before moving up to touch and squeeze her breasts. Just as she was beginning to have a hard time keeping up the pace she was using and beginning to need more Yusuke's hips began to lift up into her descending hips. They set a quick rhythm that became faster and faster, to the point where their hips were pounding into each other's.
Keiko woke to her alarm with a gasp and a furious blush rising on her face. She quickly turned off her alarm and laid back down as she considered her dream. She had never had a dream where she and Yusuke had sex before. They hadn't even gotten that far in their experimenting. Not that she knew if they would actually get that far. She remembered his body glowing a golden color and when she kissed him and began to rub against him his eyes opened. Did that mean that doing those things would bring him back to his body?
He hadn't said anything the last time he visited her but that didn't mean he didn't find out after his visit. And he must not have been able to come tell her himself if he was sending her that kind of dream. She needed to see if he was actually glowing to know if the dream was sent by him or if her mind was trying to tell her something. She decided to go after school. She blushed as she thought if it was truly sent by him that she would have time after school to do what she had dreamt.
The rest of the morning Keiko couldn't stop thinking about her dream as she went to her classes. The idea that, if it was true, Yusuke could be coming back, and that her actions would unbelievably help bring him back. She wondered if she would be able to be as bold as she had been in her dream. The knowledge she had gained from their experimenting would definitely help, but she had never been one to start everything and take the lead.
Could I do it? She wondered with a slight frown as she sat in class. If it will bring Yusuke back to me for good then… Her thought trailed off as she heard the class door being violently opened and Principle Takenaka calling her name and telling her to come with him, that her mother was being taken to the hospital.
~YUYU~YUYU~
Yusuke watched, floating outside the window, as Keiko sat as her mother's bedside in the hospital early that evening. He and Botan listened as Keiko's father told her that there was nothing for her to do and that she should go home, but Keiko refused and said she would stay until her mother woke up.
"Talk about bad luck and worse timing." Botan said to Yusuke as she looked through the window at the scene. "Her mother's not seriously ill, but it's keeping her away from where she's really needed!"
"Keiko can multitask but there's nothing she cares about more than her family. The dream's blown clear outta her mind." Yusuke said lightly as he watched Keiko through the window.
"Your body is entirely lit up. Now all you need is the transfer of energy." Koenma announced as he popped in suddenly.
"Of course! She's unconscious!" Botan suddenly exclaimed. "I've got an idea!" She said before zooming away on her broom.
Yusuke was confused but then he remembered what he did to Matsuo and realized that she was going to try to get Keiko to go to his body by speaking through her mother. He didn't know if it would work, but he guessed it was worth a try.
"Are you and Botan going to watch me and Keiko during the 'energy transfer'?" He asked shrewdly as he looked at Koenma to try and distract himself.
~YUYU~YUYU~
Keiko sat quietly at her mother's bedside wishing she would wake up when she heard her mother's voice. Her eyes quickly flickered to her mother's face wondering if she had imagined it.
"Yusuke." Her eyes widened. Her mother had spoken, but that wasn't her mother's voice. Then she gasped at what she heard next. "Go to Yusuke. Hurry, times running out." In those seconds she realized that her dream really had been a message. She got up quickly and hurried out of the room and left the hospital as quickly as possible.
She had no idea there was some kind of time limit. The dream hadn't said anything about that! But then she chastised herself because if she had gone after school like she had decided then this time constraint wouldn't be an issue. She had needed to see and be there for her mother, but even with that she should have left when her father told her to go. Then she felt guilty because she hadn't even remembered the dream after learning about her mother. Yusuke might not be able to come back because she was so wrapped up in her mother when the doctor and her father said that she would be okay.
As she rushed to the apartment Yusuke's mother was renting she wondered how much time he had left and if she would have time to do what she did in her dream. What if he wasn't glowing by the time she got there? Would that mean that she had missed the chance to help him get back into his body?
Keiko nearly tripped as she ran as fast as she could and realized that she was more worried and frantic then she had been over learning about her mother. She couldn't be too late. She couldn't miss this chance. She would not be the reason Yusuke couldn't come back to her!
As she reached the apartment she rushed inside and pushed the button for the elevator, and waited impatiently as she gasped for breath. When it came she got on and pressed the button for his floor. She repeatedly pushed the 'close doors' button hoping it would get the elevator moving faster. When she arrived on his floor she rushed to his apartment and frantically searched her bag for the key his mother had given her. She nearly panicked when she couldn't find it, but she finally did and got the door open.
She closed the door behind her, dropped her bag, and ran out of her shoes as she sped toward Yusuke's room. She opened his door and immediately saw that he was glowing. She moved forward and pulled the covers back and saw that his entire body was glowing. She sighed in relief that she wasn't too late, and then shifted uncomfortably as she realized what she had to do. She took a breath and turned and closed his door. His mother wasn't here, she had seen that much in her mad rush, and she doubted she would be back anytime soon but she didn't want to take any chances. She didn't want his mother in their business.
Keiko pulled off her socks as she moved back to the bed then gently straddled his waist. She leaned down and closed her eyes as she softly, shyly pressed her lips to his. She opened her eyes as she pulled back and watched as Yusuke's eyes slowly opened.
"It worked." She whispered with a soft smile.
"It did but we aren't done yet. The dream I sent wasn't an exaggeration. I'm back in my body and can speak, but I can't move. You have to keep going." Yusuke said and watched Keiko blush and look away as she bit her lip in what he recognized as a sign of shy uncertainty.
"It's just the two of us. I made sure Botan and anyone else interested wouldn't stick around to watch. They'll know that I'm completely back in my body in the strange ways they have." He assured her. "Think of it as experimenting, satisfying your curiosity. Anything you do will feel good to me. I'll start participating as soon as I can move." He said.
Keiko nodded and took a calming breath as she tried to figure out how to get started. She had never been the one to start their experimenting, so she wasn't sure what to do. She decided to look to the dream he had sent her for a starting point. She remembered in the dream she seemed to start right away so maybe that would be best. If the pleasurable sensations began to build maybe she wouldn't think so much and be able to do what she had to do.
With a light blush Keiko began to slowly rock her hips against Yusuke's as she unbuttoned his pajama top. Once the last button was undone she pushed the two halves apart and ran her fingers along his chest and stomach. She liked it when he lavished attention on her neck so she leaned over and kissed the side of his neck hoping he would enjoy her attempt.
Yusuke smiled lightly as Keiko kissed and nibbled at his neck. She was clearly trying her best to get him excited and make a start at getting him to move. It was working. He liked the feel of her hips rocking against his, her hands moving over his chest, and her lips moving up and down his neck. He wanted so bad to move his hips, to push them up against hers, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't move.
He could feel. That was something he was happy about. He could feel her weight, the heat of her body, the moister from her tongue, the warmth of her breath. He could feel pleasure slowly building inside him. He just needed to be patient until he could move. Then he could try to get his fill of the soft and smoothness of her skin, the feel of her breasts in his hands, the soft yet firmness of her butt.
Keiko planted kisses across Yusuke's cheek and pressed her lips against his once she reached them. As their tongues moved together she felt a light brush against her calf. She wondered if she had imagined it but it came again and she realized it was Yusuke's fingers. He was getting movement back!
She decided that it was time to remove some of her clothing. It was somewhat easy when it was Yusuke doing it for her, but that couldn't happen now and he was going to be watching her since he couldn't do anything else. So with a last kiss she pulled away and sat up then pulled her school top over her head and tossed it on the floor. She took a breath and boldly removed her bra as well. She took another breath, hardly believing what she was about to do, and lifted his hands and placed them on her breasts. She squeezed his hands around her breasts, knowing both of them would like the feeling, as she continued to rock her hips against his.
Yusuke couldn't stop the grin that split his face as he watched Keiko place his hands over her breasts. It was like she was helping him grope her. It was an amusing thought but he appreciated the gesture since he had really wanted to feel her. He sucked in a breath as she began to grind her hips into his. His fingers unconsciously squeezed around her breasts and he realized that he now had movement in his hands. He experimented and happily noticed that he could move his arms as well. He immediately took advantage, pulling his hands away before wrapping an arm around her back and pulling her down, claiming her lips as he shoved his fingers into her hair to hold her head in place.
Keiko shifted, trying to make herself comfortable as she exchanged kisses with Yusuke. She felt the hand on her back slid down and feel around her waist before unzipping her skirt.
"I want more. I need to feel more of you." Yusuke said against her lips.
In response Keiko sat up before climbing off him to remove her skirt, letting it slide down her legs. She hesitated for a moment before pulling off her panties as well. She took off his pajama bottoms and boxers and settled back on top of him, pressing herself against his warm length. She began rocking once again, rubbing herself against him, feeling his length slowly harden with her efforts.
Yusuke lifted his hands and wrapped his fingers around her breasts, enjoying the warm squishiness since it was the only thing he could do. He could move his head now but he couldn't sit up or move his hips, which irritated him because he wanted to thrust up into her heat.
Be patient. The more she does the more I can move. He reminded himself before biting back a groan as he began to feel her wetness coating him. Be patient and wait and see what she does next.
Keiko's eyes were closed as she enjoyed the light pleasure flowing through her body from her womanhood and the feel of Yusuke's hands moving over her chest but she wanted more. She once again recalled the dream he sent her and how he didn't start being able to really move until she took him inside her. But she didn't know if she could do it. What if she put him in the wrong spot? Was that even possible? Would it hurt?
She didn't know the answers but she doubted continuing as she was would get him moving more or keep him in his body. Maybe she should keep that upper most in her mind. His spirit wouldn't stay in his body until they had gone all the way, and she needed to be the one to do it since he couldn't. She would not lose him because she was uncertain.
She lifted herself up, careful not to look at Yusuke's face for fear of losing her nerve, took his nearly hot length into her hand and lowered herself onto him. She thought things were going well until she felt something inside her shift and a sharp pain stopped her. She gasped and quickly placed her hands on his chest to keep herself from falling forward. It hadn't hurt in the dream, but it was a dream so she should've known the reality would be different. She'd actually known it was supposed to hurt but she just hadn't been thinking about it. She had been focused on the pleasure and her goal to make sure Yusuke's spirit stayed in his body.
"Keiko?" Yusuke said quietly as he put his hands on her arms.
"It hurts." She whispered and he blinked in surprise. He had heard that it was supposed to hurt a girl her first time, but he had completely forgotten about it. He probably should've realized she was in pain but being inside her had driven everything out of his mind with how good it felt.
"Is the pain lessening?" He asked after silently rubbing her arms.
"No." Keiko said and he moved his hands up to her shoulders and noticed how tense she was.
"In my experience when I relax my body the pain begins to lessen." He stated suggestively.
Keiko decided to try it since it was better then continuing to just sit there with a sharp ache between her legs. She closed her eyes and concentrated on relaxing her body. It took longer then she would have liked but the pain began to ease up. She slowly sat up. The pain wasn't as strong but it was still there. Still, she had to keep going and hope it lessened or went away altogether. She carefully lifted her hips and slowly brought them down then repeated the movements as she felt Yusuke's hands settle lightly on her hips.
Yusuke watched Keiko carefully as she moved, trying to tune out the pleasure her movements caused for the moment, to see if she was still in pain. The last thing he wanted was for her to be in pain with him, especially with what they were doing. She was moving slowly so he thought she might still be hurting. He wasn't sure so he decided to just ask her. There was no point leaving himself to guess.
"Does it still hurt?" He asked.
"It's going away the more I move." She answered and he nodded and decided not to worry about it anymore. He would just do his best to make up for it in the pleasure she would be feeling. He moved his hands from her hips up to her breasts to caress and squeeze the soft mounds as he savored the feel of her hot moist womanhood squeezing and sliding against him. The feeling was incredible.
Pleasure was finally overtaking the pain Keiko was feeling. She closed her eyes and moved her hands from Yusuke's chest to cover his hands on her breasts as she continued to move her hips against his. She moved slowly at first because of the pain and then because she wanted the pleasure to build and last, but eventually she began to feel that the slow pace was not enough and started to move her hips faster.
As Keiko's hips came down on his Yusuke thrust his hips up then paused as he realized he'd moved his hips. He was surprised but he continued to move. It was only moments later that he found he couldn't move his feet but he could bend his knees. As soon as he could move his feet he was going to take control. He wouldn't have minded staying in the position he was in but he knew Keiko would want him to participate more and besides that, something inside him was urging him to take control.
While he waited for the last of his body's movement to return he moved his hands over every part of her he could reach. He stroked her thighs, ran his fingers over her stomach and rubs, cupped her breasts, smoothed over her collarbones and shoulders, and rubbed up and down her arms. He listened in satisfaction as she sighed and moaned through his touches and could barely wait to hear her crying out and clinging to him.
Keiko's breathing quickened as she moved her hips faster, but then a surprised gasp escaped her as she found herself rolling and suddenly on her back with Yusuke, still glowing golden, on top of her. She watched him flash her a grin before he swooped in to claim her lips. His kiss was hard yet passionate and just as she was settling into the kiss his hips began a quick hard pace that had her back arching up, pushing her chest against his. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, a leg around one of his legs and the other around his lower back.
Yusuke gripped Keiko's shoulder with one hand and clasped her thigh with the other as he explored her mouth and pumped himself into her as hard and fast as he could, feeling driven beyond his body's need for the friction generated pleasure. Neither of them noticed when the glow around his body changed from gold to white, but Yusuke noticed the feeling traveling through his body. It was more then the pleasure filling his body. It felt like strength, like power was pouring through his body, through his very veins, swirling around and building in his body.
He broke away from her soft lips and panted against her neck as he thrust his hips furiously against hers. He listened as his Keiko moaned, getting louder with each thrust of his hips, and felt her hands and legs tighten around him. Suddenly her muscles tightened, squeezing him and pulsing around him as she cried out sharply then began to lightly scream, as if she couldn't get the breath for anything louder. He gritted his teeth and thrust faster, feeling his pleasure build but the strange power as well. He cried out suddenly as an explosion of intense pleasure and pain flooded his body.
Even with their eyes closed they could tell there was a bright flare of light filling the room at his climax. They both relaxed and the light faded as they worked to catch their breath, their bodies trembling.
Keiko opened her eyes first and gasped out a surprised sound at seeing a great deal more hair on Yusuke then he had the last time her eyes were open. She brushed aside some of the wild hair and saw that there were black markings on the side of his face. She was confused but not scared. She was getting used to seeing strange things happening to and around her Yusuke.
"Yusuke?" She said and waited until he sat up slightly to look at her.
She looked at him in wonder. His hair seemed to have grown incredibly thick and long, black makings that looked like strange tattoos were lined around his eyes and down his face. She looked further and saw that they extended down his neck and onto his chest. They were even on his arms. And his eyes looked different. Older. They looked far older then his actual age.
"What happened to you?" She asked softly as her eyes roamed over him, and Yusuke looked at the long hair falling into his face before she brushed it aside and then looked at the markings on his arms.
"I don't know." He answered. "Are the markings on my face as well?" He asked and blinked in surprise at the sound of his voice, and watched in interest as a blush painted her cheeks at the new tone.
"Yes. They look like tribal markings or some kind of markings lining around your eyes and down your face. Your hair is really long, you have fangs, and obviously the tone of your voice has changed." She answered and he nodded.
"I have no idea what happened to me. I feel different, but it doesn't bother me." Yusuke said. "Does it bother you?" He asked quickly with a slight frown.
"No." Keiko said softly as she idly traced a black mark swirling down his neck before she realized what she was doing and pulled away with a blush.
Yusuke laughed.
"Thanks for helping me back into my body." He said before kissing her only to pull back and ask: "Do you wanna be my girlfriend even though I'm apparently a bit different then I used to be?"
"Sure." Keiko answered with a shy smile, and Yusuke smirked before kissing her again.
~YUYU~YUYU~
A male sat in a dark room on a throne like chair, his back hunched over as his forearms rested on his legs, his head inclined toward his chest, the sounds of rumbling occasionally echoing around the large room.
He wore a loose white sleeveless top showing lean muscles, a pair of white pants secured by a yellow obi around his slender waist, white bandages wrapped around his forearms and wrists, and boots. A yellow headband wrapped his forehead standing out against long white hair that spilled over his shoulders, down his back, and over his chair.
He hummed, the sound like a soft growl in his chest, as a deep pulse echoed through his body, through his very veins, announcing the blood awakening of one of his young descendants. He lifted his head, pointed ears revealed and black bold tattooing around and beneath his left eye came into view as his hair shifted, eyes flashing a brilliant red in satisfaction at the news his blood was revealing to him.
"Finally." He breathed with a small pained smile before lowering his head once again. Rumbling once again sounding throughout the room.
