I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters. I only own Mikai and Senkai.

Enjoy!

"What?!" Yusuke yelled as he got up. "What the hell do you mean she got away!?"

Six hours had passed since Kurama had brought his fallen comrades back, and Genkai had helped close their wounds up. He had finally gotten the chance to tell them everything that had happened once they had passed out from the fight they had suffered from.

"Easy," Koenma said, now in his teenage form and visiting with Yusuke and the others in Kurama's house. "She left after you three fell."

"Three? Why didn't Kurama stop her?" Yusuke asked as he looked towards the red head with a slight glare behind his eyes.

"It wasn't Senkai…," Kurama said. "It was Mikai. She reverted back to Mikai and ran away. She said that she was never coming back."

"Son of a bitch!" Yusuke slammed his fists down. "Dammit Mikai! What the hell are you thinking?"

Koenma sighed. "This is all my fault. I should have looked deeper into Mikai's past before I teamed her up with you."

"Well Koenma what do you know now?" Hiei growled as he wrapped up in bandages and looking very pissed of about it. "I mean after you found out about Mikai being Senkai I assume you looked up her past."

"Yes…," Koenma said with wide eyes. He wasn't expecting that kind of question. "I have to say that Senkai's past is mixed up with Youko's. Because I've never seen Kurama's past records I never knew that him and Senkai were connected. You see, Youko and Senkai were lovers and thieves."

"Lovers?" Yusuke said with surprise as his eyes grew.

That's why…I feel such a connection with her… Kurama thought as his eyes widened as well.

"So Kurama you might feel a very strong connection with Mikai and not know why. It's thanks to Youko and Senkai. But Senkai's past was like this: When she was young, she lost both of her parents and begun to thief because it was the only way to get food. She soon became a legend and with every steal she became stronger. It was then that she met Youko Kurama. They had a fight and thought of each other as equals so they begun to steal together. That was until Senkai disappeared one day. About three years later was when Youko was reborn as Kurama, and around the same time, Senkai became Mikai."

"God all this been' reborn and stuff is confusing," Kuwabara said as he scratched his bandaged wound. "Damn this itches."

"But anyway about Mikai's past…both of her parents died when she was young because of a demon attack. The demons felt Senkai's power inside of her and wanted her dead but instead they killed her parents. After that she lived with her Aunt. That's when she met Yusuke. But about eleven years later she moved away with her aunt. Other then that my records were blank. The record reopened when she moved back here four months ago."

"I don't care about records! Besides her past wasn't like that at all I should know I was there for most of it!!" Yusuke yelled as he stood up. "I wanna fight Senkai on my own! No one beats up Yusuke Urameshi, takes my Spirit Gun and gets away with it."

"The records…are wrong?" Koenma asked himself out loud as he looked down towards the floor.

"Her Spirit Gun was ten times stronger then yours," Hiei said as he crossed his arms.

"Dammit!" Yusuke growled and gripped his fists together.

Genkai walked into the room. "Hello weaklings."

"Hey cut me some slack Granny!" Yusuke hissed, already very irritated.

He couldn't stand the fact that one of his closest friends was outside, struggling and possibly getting hurt for something she didn't ask for. A friend that had protected him so many times, and a friend he had protected just as much. He couldn't stand just sitting around while things passed him by. He couldn't stand it.

"There is no slack here Yusuke. Senkai kicked your ass simple as that. But other then that…we have to find her. Freezing rain is going to start soon, and she's out there with no protection."

Kurama gripped his fists. "I have to find her…," he said.

"Yeah so we can kick her ass," Yusuke said as he looked out the window, trying to forget about his feelings.

"I don't want to hurt her," Kurama said in a low, serious voice.

"Oh come on Kurama! You're not going to let your feelings get in the way of being a Spirit Detective are you?" Yusuke asked without thinking.

"Yusuke you don't understand!" Kurama yelled in an out of character way. "You don't know how it feels to have two people inside of you. One hating everyone you know making you question everything. It makes you want to crawl inside of a hole and never look out because your afraid of what you my feel. She's the only person right now that I know of in the world that makes me feel this way. And I want to protect her as much as I can…from everything I feel. I have this unusual feeling of wanting to protect her with everything I can and it's killing me inside."

Yusuke turned away from him. Now he was more irritated then before. Where did Kurama get off thinking something like that? Yusuke didn't understand why someone who knew someone for only a while could make him feel that way when Yusuke had known her for almost a year now. He felt as if Kurama had no right to act as if he had known Mikai as long as he had.

"Huh. How does Youko feel?" Hiei asked as he pulled at his bandages. "Who wrapped my arm anyway? They did a horrible job."

"I did." Kurama said cheering up a bit. He smiled a fake smile. "But Youko for some reason, feels the same way I do. The first time in years…that we've agreed."

Everyone had left the room where Kurama had confessed how he felt about things, except for Genkai and Yusuke. The black haired boy was staring out of the window, wishing Mikai or Senkai would run by but got nothing. The older woman crossed her legs and arms.

"Yusuke," Genkai began, "I know you're worried about Mikai but let Kurama handle things."

"Why?" Yusuke laughed sarcastically. "Look how well he's handled things already."

"Yusuke!" Genkai hissed. "Calm down before you start being such a damn smartass! Think about what Kurama is saying."

"Why are you taking his side?" Yusuke growled as he looked back towards the older woman. "You know as well as Kuwabara how close Mikai and I are."

"I know." Genkai closed her eyes. "But none of this is coming out of the fact that you're jealous is it?"

"I'm not jealous! I have nothing to be jealous about!"

Genkai laughed a bit. "You're worried that Mikai will start spending all of her time with Kurama. I've seen the way you act Yusuke, you and Mikai act and fight like lovers."

Yusuke blushed. "No we don't."

"Yes you do. Now that Kurama's here you're worried that Mikai won't spend as much time with you." Genkai opened his eyes and looked towards her student. "There's nothing wrong with being jealous Yusuke."

"Fine, fine!" Yusuke turned away. "I guess I am jealous but big deal!"

"Just relax Yusuke." Genkai sighed. "Let Kurama do what he wants to do, but just watch out for Mikai, that's all."

"Fine. Thanks Grandma."

Yusuke walked into his sex ed class with a sigh he was actually going to class just because he had a little hope that maybe, just maybe, Mikai would be sitting there, blushing, next to Kurama, even though it was just a lie to help him get through the day. He walked into the class and sat down in his chair, telling himself over and over again that there could just be one slight chance.

Look dammit Yusuke. She just might be there. Yusuke thought. He began to turn his head. No! She's not there. Don't torment yourself Yusuke. Yusuke finally got the courage to look.

Neither Kurama nor Mikai were there.

Dammit!

"Hey Urameshi," Kuwabara said as he sat down next to Yusuke. "You look upset about something."

"Have ya noticed that Kurama isn't here?"

"Really?" Kuwabara looked towards Kurama's chair. "I thought I saw him this morning."

"I bet he's out looking for Mikai." Yusuke growled, getting that irritated feeling once more.

"Let Kurama do whatever he wants. He's following his heart Urameshi."

Yusuke giggled, feeling a bit better. "You sound like some kind of after school special or something."

"Oh shut up Urameshi! Would you just grow up already?!" Kuwabara yelled as he hit Yusuke.

"I'll grow up when I have too," Yusuke said as he opened his notebook, which was surprisingly full.

"Wow Urameshi…You're actually keeping notes?" Kuwabara said in embarrassment.

"Yeah. Not much to keep notes on anyway. Besides it gives me a good reason to write down dirty words." Yusuke giggled. He opened his notebook and showed Kuwabara all the words he had written down.

"Urameshi you're such a pervert!" Kuwabara closed Yusuke's binder.

"God you act like you've never thought about sex or something!"

"Don't put me in the same category as you! I'm waiting until after my Yukina and I get married to be with her!" Kuwabara said as he crossed his arms.

"That's nice! And I bet the first time you guys do it she'll get pregnant!" Yusuke laughed. "Daddy Kuwabara!" Yusuke started to laugh so hard that he started to slam his fists down on the desk.

"Shut up!" Kuwabara hit Yusuke. "Just cause I'm still a virgin and I'm waiting until the right girl.."

"Are you saying that I'm not a virgin?" Yusuke said as he stopped laughing. "Cause I am one. I can admit to it ya know."

"Class we're going to watch a movie today so take notes," the teacher interrupted as the lights dimmed quieting the two for a moment.

"Hey Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah?"

"You think Kurama's a virgin?" Yusuke asked as his mind wondered.

"I guess… He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to give his virginity to just anyone." Kuwabara said as he tired to pay attention to the movie.

"Ya think if we find Mikai…he'll give it to her?"

"Ew God Urameshi!!!" Kuwabara screamed. "I don't care!"

"Okay, okay! It was just a question! Quiet down!" Yusuke whispered.

"Kuwabara! Urameshi! Pay attention to the movie before I separate the both of you!" the teacher yelled.

The classroom fell silent as the movie began in front of the classroom. Kuwabara looked over towards Yusuke, still mad at the comments he had made before but when he saw the look on Yusuke's face, all of the anger left him. The skin underneath Yusuke's eyes had drooped down and had a light black coloring on them. He hadn't been getting any sleep because he had been up all night, and Kuwabara could see it. Yusuke was worried about Mikai, but here he was making cracks about Kurama and Mikai being together.

"Stupid," Kuwabara whispered.

"What?" Yusuke whispered back as he looked over to Kuwabara.

Kuwabara shook his head. "Nothing."

The snow was still gently falling on top of the snow that had fallen two days ago. Kurama was walking around in the snow with a heavy jacket on as his eyes scanned the area. Yes he was looking for Mikai and he wanted to but something inside of him was telling him that it wasn't right.

"Shuuichi!" a familiar voice yelled.

Kurama turned around to see Kaitou running towards him with a heavy black jacket on. "Shuuichi wait up!" he yelled again.

"Yes Kaitou?" Kurama said.

"I heard what happened. So Mikai was Senkai?"

"Yes." Kurama sighed causing a white puff to come out of his mouth.

"She's gone now?"

"Yes…that's why am out here. I have to find her."

"She might not even be here anymore," Kaitou said as he looked up towards the sky. A strange feeling began in his stomach, almost like a burning sensation.

"She's still here. I can feel it. I'll find her. Trust me. I've lost her before, so I'm sure I can find her again," Kurama answered even though he wasn't sure of it himself.

"Well when you do, tell her that…I miss her," Kaitou said as he lowered his head and looked at the sidewalk underneath him.

"I will." Kurama smiled as he begun to walk away.

"Shuuichi?"

"Yes?" He turned around.

The snow fell between them but it wasn't quiet this time. The people around them were talking and laughing. Cars in the street next to them, wising by with people going were they had to go. Everything was going on. Everyone was going on with their own lives. Expect them. The two of them seemed to be in there own world. No one could touch them. No one could bother them or take anything away from them.

Kaitou stood there, wanting to talk. He seemed hesitant in a way. Was he really going to ask such an important question? Was he really going to ask Kurama the question that would determine his and Kurama's feelings? Was this even the right time? If it wasn't, when would be?

I'd better just do this now. Kaitou thought to himself once he had finally made up his mind.

"Youko loved Senkai before. But does that mean that you love Mikai? I mean all of Youko's feelings must have come through to you after you found out everything," Kaitou said as he took a step forward towards Kurama. "So do you? Love Mikai?"

R&R please!
