Chapter Four

Standard Disclaimers Apply

Author's note: Well, I don't normally start another chapter before I even post the one before it, because I like to mention things I learned in the reviews I get in the author's notes. However, my internet decided to suck butt today, so I will type an update anyways.

"Keiko!" wailed Botan, running up to meet the troubled girl half way. Keiko collided into Botan's chest knocking the air from her magenta eyed comrade. "What happened? Is it true?"

"It is not!" Keiko spat out as harshly as she could, her eyes quickly swelling with tears. Botan was obviously taken aback by the mean voice Keiko was attempting to use, but it was quite unlike her. "There's no way! I don't believe it! Show me proof!"

"Them making out in the bathroom, naked, doesn't do it for ya?" Shizuru asked, perking up one of her eyebrows, as she lit a cigarette and placed the cancer stick into her mouth.

"Shizuru!" Botan shouted, shocked that Shizuru wouldn't even pretend to sugar coat the awkward situation. However, Botan knew how it was unlike Shizuru to be overly passionate about things.

"For your information, they weren't!" Keiko growled, quickly wiping her tears away with the back of her hand. "I won't lose faith in him that easily!"

"Keiko..." Botan whispered. Yukina walked up behind Botan so she could look into Keiko's eyes.

"Keiko?" she asked. Keiko shot a glare at Yukina immediately.

"You liar!" Keiko shouted, not meaning a word of it. She was just so hurt...so confused...Really, why would the Koorime lie to her? It didn't make any sense. But she couldn't help herself from accusing her anyway. Somehow, blaming Yukina was easier than blaming Yusuke, and much easier than blaming herself.

"What...?" Yukina replied, eyes wide. Keiko ignored the confused word that came from the ice apparition's lips.

"You think Yusuke would cheat on me with a guy? Even he's not that low! Especially not with your brother!" Keiko shouted, berating herself as each word fell off her tongue. Yukina's eyes got slightly smaller, the width going away, but unshed tears formed anyway.

"It would be... 'low'...for Yusuke to be in love with my brother...?" Yukina asked, not trying to be bitter or get Keiko back. It was a genuine, sincere question, like she was really curious to know.

True, it was no shock to hear Hiei was her brother, as Hiei told her himself just the year before. Obviously, it was Yusuke's prodding that got him to succumb. He didn't want to see Hiei suffer with any further inner turmoil. And Hiei did so. Yukina had the twin brother complex the whole first year, shouting "Oniisan" at every opportunity. But, aware of her brother's need of privacy, she backed off the following year. Still, she was excited as ever to see the brother she always wished to see. Why Hiei would doubt his worthiness was beyond her. She loved him very much. It was that love the made her stick up for him.

Keiko felt the pang of guilt. She didn't mean to shout at Yukina. It wasn't Yukina's fault. After all she was just the messenger.

"Keiko?" the girl continued, lightly waving her small hand in front of Keiko's eyes. Keiko didn't reply.

"What's all the screaming about?" said the ex Detective walking up behind the females not more than twenty minutes later. The girls were watching Keiko isolate herself on the swings while they themselves were in the grass still.

Botan leered at Yusuke, standing up to look the ex Detective in the eyes.

"Exactly what were you doing in the bathroom, Yusuke?" she asked suspiciously, pointing her index finger into the raven haired boy's chest.

"Umm...pissing. Why? Is this concept new to you?"

"You bastard! Are you cheating on Keiko? If you are, I'll have Koenma punish you!" Botan threatened. Yukina and Shizuru, still sitting, kept quiet.

"Do your worst!" Yusuke teased, dismissing the whole conversation as a joke.

"Why?" Botan shouted, as Yusuke was about to walk passed her. The way she said it stopped the man in his tracks. He turned his head to look at the blue haired woman's expression, only to see tears forming in her eyes. He never saw her looked so pissed or sad at the same time. "She's your true love! How could you do this to her?"

Yusuke shot Botan the most angry look he could. His sudden laid back attitude was gone, and it scared Botan a little. She never knew him to suddenly get so frustrated.

"She is not my 'true' love." he spat quietly, sliding past the women. His ki felt a lot darker, even to Yukina. Shizuru noted how much more demonic Yusuke felt at that moment.

"Hey," Yusuke said to the brunette who was lightly kicking her feet in a sad attempt to push herself off the ground while still on the swing.

"Look, you don't have to answer if you don't want to," Yusuke started, "but you have to tell your minions over there to butt out of out business."

"They're just looking out for me, Yusuke." she stated bodly, but quietly, looking up into Yusuke's eyes. Her equally chocolate, yet tear stained eyes gave him a bit of a jolt, but he shrugged it off.

"You're a big girl. You can look out for yourself." Yusuke said, his formally good mood dissipating. "If you hate me now, then you break up with me. Don't have them do it for you."

With that, he brushed passed the swings set, leaving his girlfriend wide eyed.

"You bastard..." she whispered half heartedly. How dare he say that to me? Why would he want to...?

The words "break" and "up" together scared Keiko as of recently. She began to wonder how many more "breaking ups" it would take before either Yusuke or herself said "screw it" and really did end their long commitment. It's not like they were married, right? Keiko felt even though they were equivalent to high school student dating, they had been through too much to call it quits when they were so close. After all, you had to know a persons faults as well as their good sides before you called what you had "love", right?

Well, Keiko indeed knew Yusuke's faults.

But was being gay really one of them...? No, it couldn't be... Why would he always want sex from me then...? Maybe he just wants to get laid and that's why he's cheating on me... To get the sex he can't have? That must be it...

End chapter four

Author's note: Okay, this was a short ass chapter, but I ran low on inspiration. Maybe some nice reviews will help. :D
