Chapter 4: Warrior (Yusuke/Keiko)

March 23rd, 1994

The Dark Tournament was currently underway and Team Urameshi had just won their second and third matches against Team Masho and the Dr. Ichigaki Team. Yusuke and Kuwabara were currently relaxing in their hotel room while Kurama, Hiei, and the Masked Fighter went downstairs to eat dinner down in the hotel's restaurant. Both teenagers decided to stay in their hotel room being currently lazy.

They were waiting on a pizza they ordered while watching TV. Kuwabara picked up the TV remote and asked, "Do you want to change the channel Urameshi? This show is total crap."

Currently bored with the current show on television too, Yusuke shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah. This show is boring."

The young spirit detective glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand and loudly complained, "Goddammit, when is our pizza going to get here?"

Kuwabara tore his eyes away from the TV, "I don't know. How long has it been?"

Yusuke looked at the clock again, "It has been over an hour and the pizza place said it would be here in 45 minutes. This blows!"

"Be patient Urameshi..."

Kuwabara's stomach rumbled and then groaned too, "Scratch that. Man, I'm starving. I just hope they remembered the sodas and the ice cream."

"Same here Kuwabara. If not, there will be..."

Yusuke's sentence was cut short when there was a knock on the door. The spirit detective got up from the chair he was sitting on and stretched his arms and legs. He began to walk over to the door saying, "It's about damn time. Hey Kuwabara, could you get your wallet?"

Kuwabara nodded and got up from the bed he was sitting on. He grabbed his duffle bag and withdrew his wallet. He tossed it over to Yusuke who caught it in both his hands. The knocking on the door persisted and Yusuke then shouted, "Just wait a minute!"

He unlocked the door and opened it. Rummaging through Kuwabara's wallet, he then asked not paying attention to who it was, "Okay, how much do I owe you?"

Yusuke was then snapped out of his thoughts, when the voice of Koenma spoke, "Were you expecting some food Yusuke? Last I checked, I wasn't the pizza guy."

Hearing the voice of his boss, Yusuke groaned in annoyance and looked up at the tall and handsome prince standing before him, "What do you want Koenma?"

Just then Kuwabara sighed in annoyance at his best friend and shifted his attention back to the TV. Flipping through the channels he loudly complained, "This sucks! There is nothing good on!"

Koenma shook his head. He then said to his current spirit detective, "Yusuke I really need to talk to you about something."

Yusuke rolled his chocolate brown eyes, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Just then, Puu flew out of his room and sat down on top of his head. Yusuke looked up at his cute blue spirit animal and groaned, "Dammit! Can you just leave me alone for one minute?"

"Puu!"

Koenma tried not to snicker but, biting his pacifier was proving to do very little for him. Yusuke shifted his attention to him and narrowed his eyes, "Not a single word."

Koenma stopped laughing, "Sorry but, that is just too cute."

Seeing the look on Yusuke's face, the prince stopped joking around, "Okay, I'll stop."

"What did you need to talk to me about? Can it wait until later? Kuwabara and I are still waiting on our pizza and ice cream."

Koenma sighed, "No, it can't wait until later."

Knowing damn well that Koenma wasn't going to let up, Yusuke groaned in annoyance, tossed Kuwabara's wallet back to Kuwabara and shut his hotel room door behind him. He shifted his attention back to Koenma, "Okay what is this about?"

The prince stuffed his hands into his pockets and sucked on his pacifier for a minute. Getting impatient, Yusuke's eyebrow began to twitch, "Well?"

Breaking the awkward silence, Koenma then asked, "So Keiko now knows?"

"About me being spirit detective, yeah she does."

Koenma loudly exhaled, "You know you're risking her life right?"

Not wanting to hear another lecture, Yusuke crossed his arms over his chest and answered, "Yeah she does. Is there a problem?"

"There is a problem. You know damn well that she wasn't supposed to find out at all."

Getting annoyed, Yusuke responded trying to defend himself, "How was I supposed to keep it a secret? Keiko found out on her own. Hell, she even got it out of Botan. If there's anyone you should be lecturing Toddler, it should be her. You know Botan can't keep her fucking mouth shut about anything."

Ignoring that his spirit detective called him "Toddler" again, Koenma rolled his beautiful brown eyes, "I already spoke to her about it. You and her should have considered Keiko's safety along with Shizuru's."

"You're a fucking moron Koenma. Keiko is smarter than you give her credit for. Even though she is an ordinary human, she's not stupid. She was bound to find out sooner or later. Besides, how was I supposed to keep Puu from her?" He pointed to the blue spirit animal sitting on his head.

Puu then responded, "Puu!"

Koenma withdrew his hands from his pockets and narrowed his eyes at Yusuke feeling his anger begin to boil over and his jealousy creep in, "Yusuke you don't know how lucky you are to have someone like her. Keiko has already been put in danger once; do you think that another enemy isn't going to use her as a weapon against you again? Of course not, because you only think about yourself most of the damn time."

Noting his boss's change in demeanor, Yusuke eyed him with curiosity, "Man Koenma, what is with you?"

Trying to keep himself from getting emotional or even yelling at Yusuke, Koenma began to feel as if his patience was beginning to wear thin, "This isn't about me, this is about you. Dammit Yusuke!"

Still eyeing him with a curious expression, something then dawned on the spirit detective, "Oh man, I can't believe I figured it out."

Koenma raised one of his brown eyebrows, "Figured what out?"

Yusuke then chuckled and came out said it, "You're jealous. You're jealous of me and Keiko. Wow, why didn't I see it before? Damn Pacifier Breathe, do you have some sort of a thing for Keiko or something?"

The prince's lovely brown eyes widened at what Yusuke just said. He was speechless for just a minute and then responded, "What? No! I don't even know her and she's not even my type. And before you start getting any ideas, I don't have a torch for you either. I don't swing that way and you're also not my type. Even if you were a girl, Yusuke, you still wouldn't be my type."

Yusuke burst out laughing at what his boss just said. He then regained his composure and answered back, "You know what Koenma, I feel the exact same way. If you were a girl, I'd still be annoyed by you. Hell, Kuwabara is more of my type than you are. At least he knows when to stop being so annoying."

Koenma bit down on his pacifier, "Right back at you. Out of all of my spirit detectives, you're the one that irritates me the most."

"That's the pot calling the kettle black. Are you done now?"

Koenma sighed once again; Yusuke wasn't going to listen to him anyway. He figured it would be best to drop the subject and let Yusuke and Kuwabara get back to their evening. Koenma sucked on his pacifier for just a minute and nodded. He replied, "Yeah I am. Have a nice night."

He also looked at Puu and said to the cute blue spirit beast, "You too Puu."

"Puu!"

Koenma then turned around and walked down the hallway and thought to himself, "So what if I'm envious of what Yusuke and Keiko have? At least he has someone who supports and cares about his wellbeing. Perhaps having Keiko know about Yusuke being spirit detective is for the best. At least she can really support his endeavors now though, there is still a possibility that her life is still in danger."

Koenma then groaned in irritation and shook his head. All of those thoughts were beginning to give him a headache. As he walked towards his hotel suite, he passed by an ordinary human wearing a baseball cap and carrying a pizza that was covered by the insulated pizza bag and a plastic bag with a liter of soda and a couple of pints of ice cream.

The man then stopped the prince in his tracks and asked him, "Hey, do you know where room #230 is?"

Koenma snapped back to reality and replied pointing in the direction of Team Urameshi's suite, "It's down that direction."

The pizza guy smiled, "Thanks dude." He then eyed Koenma with a weird look and asked, "Aren't you too old to be sucking on a pacifier?"

Koenma just rolled his eyes in response. He decided not to respond to the ordinary human man's question and walked off in the direction of his and Jorge's hotel suite. When he reached his room, Koenma reached into his pocket and withdrew the key card and sighed as he unlocked the door, "Humans can be so nosey."
