Good evening loves. Last chapter was a bit slow but yes we are getting into the thieves main entrance. Yay! I do not own YYH just Aiko, Lady Shino, and Madame Red. Slight lemon warning. Not much, if it bothers some I may take it out. But we will give it a test run.

Takeshi P.O.V:

I stared at Goki as he held a small ogre by the head above the air, squeezing and grimaced as a crack resounded like the sound of branch breaking. Alarms were resounding around the palace and I turned to Kurama who looked towards Goki. The demon was an animal and we never really needed him. I was hoping he would have perished here. "Alright Goki, that's enough." Hiei said out of irritation or simply because this wasn't the time to indulge on the high of killing things.

"Yes, our time runs short." Kurama added gaining the blood thirsty beast's attention. Goki tossed the body aside with the same enthusiasm a person would throwing away a used napkin. The act didn't disgust me as much as the ogre himself did. I knelt by another who lay on the floor, still alive and looking up at me fearfully. It wasn't in me anymore to take a life. What had happened to me in my years in the human world? I put a finger to my mouth trying to give a look of reassurance pulling a seed Kurama had given me. It was to cure wounds in case this mission was more dangerous. I rolled it to him shooting a look at the man Goki had injured. Would he recognize what kind of seed it was? And why did I care?

I ignored the security announcements and these questions keeping up with Kurama. My pendant, it wasn't here either. I had risked my life for it and once again it was nowhere to be found. Images of Aiko flooded my mind then. I picked up my pace, I had to fulfill my promise at least. I had to return to her safe and alive.

Aiko P.O.V:

"My father wants to know when Takeshi will be showing up for work?" Keiko asked. She had singed the ends of her hair during her foolish run into Yusuke's burning apartment. I stopped myself, wouldn't I do the same for Takeshi?

"Uhm, I'd have to check with him. I am happy your parents agreed to help him out. He is saving up for something and has been looking everywhere for work away from mom and dad. But, his reputation-" I started only to be stopped by Keiko's hand on my shoulder.

"Delinquent? Oh believe me I know exactly what you mean." She said grinning. Ever since Yusuke died I had grown attached to her. She was had a sweet temperament and open mind, but seemed like a fire cracker when Yusuke was around. Speak of the fool. There stood Yusuke in his green school uniform still as out of place as ever, but on the floor was his student briefcase. "That moron-"Keiko grumbled. I tapped her shoulder pointing at his bag. "He's going to school?" she asked speaking my train of thought. Maybe dying was a good thing for him. The mere thought made my heartache. What was Takeshi up to right now? We slowly made our way to him as he continued to clean off dirt.

"They act like I've been dead or something…" he grumbled to himself.

"Let's be honest Yusuke, I don't think they felt much safer around you before. You just didn't care." Keiko told him. I stared at her with a curious look. She was like a mother hen and spoke to him like he was a snot nose brat, which he was, rather than a thug who fought like an untamed demon. I then looked at Yusuke who looked at her like she was something new. As if it were just them there. Love. Yusuke was in love with her. The thought made me grin. Love like I loved… I stiffened blushing hotly. Like I loved Takeshi. That look he gave me before he left was like this very one but darker, maybe it was a demon thing.

"Uh ,Keiko." Yusuke said almost in a daze.

"What are you staring at me for?" she asked confused destroying the moment and I fought to chuckle at them.

"Oh no reason." He said squinting and scratching his cheek hiding the blush on his face.

"If it's about the skirt I don't want to hear it." She snapped then looking away with an upturned nose. I gaped as she walked away making eye contact with a stunned Yusuke.

"Hey but it wasn't!" Yusuke yelled at her grabbing his bag. "Aiko what are you doing here? I figured you'd be in school like a good geek." he said blush fading. I tilted my head and smiling.

"I was thanking Keiko for helping me land my boyfriend a job at her parent's restaurant and..." I said walking past him. He smelt faintly of cigarettes, gel and a gentle cologne. Was that the one Madame Red had given to Atsuko because she had forgotten his gift for his birthday. Before I met the oaf.

"Takeshi's, my friend with the long hair?" I said noticing the blank look on his face. It had only been a day.

"Oh, the one you tongue locked with? You do that to all your friends or only the pretty ones?" he asked grinning wickedly as I blush and sputtered. Damn Takeshi and damn his kisses I thought to myself.

"Well, he is my boyfriend remember… anyway his birthday, well it's today I was going to find something for him. For when he gets back." I explained twiddling my thumbs nervously. His smile widened and I frowned deeply glaring at him.

"You could always you know…" he started and I tilted my head as he made a motion with his hands. "It is so not fun when you don't get it." He muttered turning to Keiko face softening again. "I have to go. Catch up, you know?" he said with a smile at his lips. I giggled earning a glare before shooing him away. Did Takeshi and I look at each other like that? Could he really love a human? I looked up at the sky and smiled. What the hell, let's go get the brooding demon a present. I froze as a voice appeared in my head. Soft… like a siren call but it made my teeth clench a low rumble leaving my mouth startling me. What was that? I didn't ponder long as a cart rumbled by the sound getting shriller. I clutched my head squeezing my eyes close.

"Are you alright young lady?" a raspy voice asked. As a wisened hand touched my arm I bared my teeth at the person who yanked away quickly. I straightened up placing a hand to my mouth and offering apologies. What the hell was that? I paused however feeling something flow over me. A familiar push of energy. Takeshi? I whirled around searching but saw nothing but kids and people walking around. The shriek died down as I turned to face the direction to see where the power was coming from and stared at the old woman whose face was hidden by her dingy cloak, and hat. I caught myself almost sneering at her but focused on her cart. It was coming from in there. "Are you looking to buy?" she asked hoarsely though I could hear the excitement in her voice.

"Move those clothes please." I said eyes still on the cart. She did cooing softly as I stared at the bright red pendant that looked back at me. There, that radiated Takeshi's aura but how? "How much?" I asked without thought.

"That piece of junk? Take it, nothing but trouble that has brought me. What about this necklace? This is worth much more than that piece of metal and stone. I shook my head grabbing the pendant feeling a warm rush of power much more powerful than Takeshi's run over me making me blush. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice going from persuasive to angry. I stared at the chain she held palming the pendant. It was beautiful and let out that call that made my hair stand on end. I shook my head glaring at the piece of jewelry that offended my every sense. "Why don't you just try it o-" she said reaching to put it over my head. A hand gripped her wrist suddenly and I turned to see-

"Poppa?" I asked shocked to see Lady Shino glaring at the woman.

"She said no. Don't make me have to defend my daughter's words. You will not enjoy it." He said words dripping venom. The woman pulled back and hurried off. He watched cloudy blue eyes hard and lips pressed in a firm line before turning to me and beaming at me. "What do you have there?" he asked. I looked behind him before looking back at him.

"What are you doing out here Poppa?" I asked. Lady Shino was a beautiful man in and out of make-up. Even now, it was hard to tell that he was indeed a man. His hair hung loosely against his shoulders but one side was pushed behind his ear revealing the beautiful hand carved ivory earring Madame Red had gotten him. He wore brown slacks and cream colored button up shirt that was wrinkle free.

"You forgot your wallet dear, I have been searching for you and stopped by that job that hired Takeshi. They said you left with their daughter, I figured you'd be on the route all students from that school take, well majority." He answered. I flushed at my carelessness. How could I go shopping without my wallet?

"Poppa, wait that lady-" I began but he cut me off.

"Crazy, and I told you not to talk to strangers. She could have hurt you. Maybe I should accompany you for a gift." He scolded but held a playful tint to his eyes.

"No, look I got this from her." I said showing him the pendant. He stared at it eyes wide.

"Why'd you take that?" he asked softly touching it.

I paused. What if Takeshi didn't like it? It was a pendant. "It… felt like him, I thought." I started.

He chuckled and looped an arm in mine. "I think it's going to surprise him. Thai is for sure. Let's go get him cake and other fun things that will ruffle his feathers." He teased pulling me forward. Lady Shino said he used to deal with demons for what reason he never explained, but stopped when he found me and met Madame Red. It was his only chance to have the family he always wanted and be him. Perhaps that was why Takeshi hated him.

It had been 3 hours and I had only found 3 more hair ornaments for Takeshi. He loved them for some reason and they had put a hole in my wallet that is for sure. I stopped feeling that warm bubbly spirit energy. Yusuke. Man that boy is everywhere. "Poppa, I see a friend of mine here, I want to talk to him." I said grabbing my bags from him only to be stopped. "Here just take this necklace I'll get everything ready at home love." Lady Shino said with a smile bending down slightly and kissing the middle of my forehead before sauntering off.

"Yusuke!" I yelled running over to him once I spotted that uniform, he sat up looking troubled and I stopped in my tracks as something awful washed over me. Demon.

"Someone call an ambulance, it's a kid!" "What happened?"

"I don't know, he just fainted." Voices yelled and a crowd began to form. I headed to it pretty sure Yusuke would too. I shoved through the wall of people to see a young boy in a man's arms eyes devoid of life but very much alive. I gasped at the same time Yusuke did as a white puff of smoke left the boys mouth.

"I think that's what they call a lead folks." He finally said touching his nose and taking off. I followed in suite staring at that puff of smoke. "Hey Blue, you see it too?" he asked breathlessly, I only nodded. He explained everything to me, giving me an option to opt out. I didn't take it, I had let him die the first time to a car, I wouldn't let him face a demon without any real knowledge on them. I didn't want him to be alone like I had. So against all the alarms going off in my head I followed him, doing ym best to keep up but he had longer legs than me. I didn't realize where we were headed till I noticed the busted in windows and rough looking streets of downtown. Dammit, Takeshi didn't want me here. Finally Yusuke and I skidded to a halt looking at a tall man on sitting on a crate. My chest burned as I attempted to catch my breath yet, my blood chilled as I saw the horns jutting from his head. Yatsude sprung to my mind but I pushed it down. I was with Yusuke and he fought like a demon himself, this demon wouldn't hurt me. Yusuke stepped forward only to be stopped by a hand and a gruff looking man asking for cash.

"Hey there tuts, how about- would you look at that?" this man said staring at the pendent that rested on my chest. As he reached for it I kicked swiftly. He couldn't have it! I gasped realizing I had just attacked this man without thought or provocation. He Stood bent over clutching his gut and wheezing. As he stood up I panicked again and hit him with a swift upper cut that caught him in the chin and sent him flying. I turned ready to pummel more thugs, but there stood Yusuke surrounded by the lot of them, all unconscious. How did he do it?

"Good job Blue… hey where'd he go?" Yusuke asked. I turned to look for the monster but he was gone. We lost him.

"I can find him Yusuke." I said suddenly. He stared at me shocked before giving a curt nod. My heart was pounding as I paused and closed my eyes, looking for a demon not running.

I frowned as it began to rain as we entered the forest, as if it was a bad omen. I continued searching for the demon but paused as I caught 3 familiar energies. Takeshi? My blood began to pump and I took off running before Yusuke called for me to stop. I stopped breathless to see what he was pointing at. I stared as I saw a spot where the rain wasn't well… falling. How odd. But Takeshi's aura was stronger. "Aiko wait!" Yusuke whispered harshly but I took off. Takeshi was alive. A shriek sounded and my eyes widened as a red winged beast came at me. Fear nearly took hold of me but I bit it down. I slid under the beast on the wet grass a move I wouldn't be able to repeat not even for a million yen grabbing a hold of its hind legs and tossing it back in the direction it came from. Not today you demonic bastard. I turned to feel the energy that was coming from the clearing.

Takeshi P.O.V:

I watched Hiei carve a tree and frowned as it flew past me barely giving it attention. I was unamused and wanted to retreat to Aiko. The mission was a failure for me. Hiei dropped to the ground smiling at the sword's work. "If this sword could make demons from trees imagine what it would do to humans. I say we go to the next big city and carve out a thousand of them. Imagine raising an entire demon army." He said laughing with Goki. I wasn't interested.

"I like the way you think Hiei. If we teach them to eat souls I even know how we'll feed them all. The orb of Baast." Goki joined in. Beasts the both of them.

"And once the moon becomes full we can use Kurama's weapon and supposedly get complete control, isn't that right?" Hiei asked Kurama who pushed off a tree casting a glance my way.

"Sorry, Kuronue and I must withdraw from this alliance." Kurama said one hand in his pocket. The demon log came rolling into view then and I turned to see a drenched Aiko breathing heavy and staring at me eyes a few shades darker on one side and lighter on the other. I narrowed my eyes at her controlling my emotions. The idiot.

"What?!" Goki and Hiei asked harshly. "What is that supposed to mean? Truly you'r enot dropping out of the game when we have come this far." Hiei asked casting a glance at Aiko. She wasn't an issue to him. Just my ningen pet. Cold wet hands soaked through the sleeve of my blouse as she tucked behind me. Goki didn't notice her eyes on Kurama. Did he sense her before me? I stood still allowing her to clutch to my back thanking the gods that she had the smarts to know when to shut up. But when we returned home, I'd reprimand her stupidity. "You cowards, your years of hiding yourselves within the human world has made you just like them spineless and ready to be walked on." Hiei snarled. Goki joined in then. And I heard a rumble from behind me. Like a demon was behind me, but I felt nothing no power level nothing except… what was that. Was it Aiko's friend? Did that fool bring her here? I'd kill him.

"I don't give a flip if he leaves but he's got no right to the loot. Give us the pretty little mirror." Goki said. My chained Scythe fell into the curve of my hand, a little heavier than normal. 'Comrade. Steady yourself."

"I can't I have great need for it myself first." Kurama said.

"Alright, then I'll punch it out of ya!" Goki yelled swinging at Kurama making me stiffen.

"Excuse me neighbors. Couldn't' help but notice there is no rain falling here. Maybe the next time you guys go stealing some magic toys, you should hide where it's not so obviously sunny. Just a tip. This moron was insane. I winced then feeling my ningen tense up. I never told her. And he just had.

"Who are you and how do you know about the artifacts?" Hiei asked glaring at Yusuke. I turned as Kurama walked off. I looked at her and saw the downcast look on her cold reddened cheeks. We didn't have time. I scooped her up Kurama spoke and tore off. 'Take her back home comrade.' Kurama spoke. I tsked and nodded not going to enjoy the conversation.

She had slept in bed with me fine and ignored me through breakfast, but she wasn't going to let this go. "Stolen artifacts?" she asked voice containing a spark of fear. She glared at me with a look I was completely unfamiliar with. Rage? Hurt? I made sure to keep my face clear of emotion and chose to watch her. "What did you do Takeshi?" she asked poking me in the chest. I couldn't answer as those eyes fell on me. The damned wench I came back, what did it matter?

"I am here wench, what does it matter?" I asked looking elsewhere. I wasn't prepared for her to pull me into her arms. For her to be pissed off was understandable, but this… I wasn't expecting.

"Spirit World is going to take you away you idiot! Yusuke told me everything. I didn't think it was you… but it was you idiot…" she said voice cracking as she shook. She looked up at me with eyes filled with raw hurt and fear. My wall cracked and I frowned. She was right. I may not have stolen something or killed anyone, but I was just as guilty. "You idiot." She said again burying her face in my chest. I stared around our room, looking from the bed I hadn't used since the first night here to the art hanging on the wall and pictures taken by the ever suffocating Madame Red of our family… My family? I looked down at the sobbing Aiko. My family. I sat on the bed and pulled her into my lap holding her close. I had messed up once again, following Kurama's wishes and she was hurting for it. I was blinded by my loyalty and I was going to lose her as well as Youko. Why had I been blind to it?

"Little one, I am- at a loss of words. I wasn't thinking…" I tried to give reasoning but fell off.

"You never do when it comes to him. You don't think for yourself Takeshi, not till it's too late. You promised you wouldn't leave. You said it" She said tears falling down her face and her face reddened with her sobbing. "How can you enjoy the presents I got you in jail or if they execute you?" she asked pointing to the poorly wrapped parcels on the bed. So, those were gifts and not trash… Human traditions. I didn't know what to say at that. Was that what was bothering my ninge. Gifts? No, it was her attempt at diverting something else entirely. Highly implausible.

"What would you have me do?" I asked lowly, she looked up at me and my breath caught in my throat. How could the gaze of someone so young hold that much concern and affection for me, a demon who had blood on his hands from many things both older and younger than she? Her hand touched my cheek gently, as if I might break. The thought made me smile lightly, me fragile? The touch was feather light and made me sigh softly as my eyes fluttered close.

"I love you." Was a quiet voice one I wouldn't have heard if I was human. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the flushed Aiko. Those words, I couldn't force myself to say though what I felt may have been the same. Instead I brought my nose to hers hearing her heart race.

"Aiko… you are… there is truly never a dull moment with you little one." I decided to say before kissing her. I may have ruined everything I had made here. A home, family, things I never had in my past life nor cared for. And here it was in my arms sobbing for me. For something that had yet to happen. When I died, did Youko mourn me? Did anyone mourn my death? These emotions gripped me and I was caught once again between rage and once again a cold dread of fear. I was going to lose her, some other man may take her while I rot in Spirit world, some other man would touch her, she could be hurt by someone or killed. I let out a frustrated snarl and threw her on the bed earning a gasp of surprise from her as she sat up and stared at me confused. Removing my shirt I looked down at her again, her eyes wide and face bright red. She was mine, and I wanted her to remember that even if I was taken away by Enma's forces.

Aiko P.O.V:

"Takeshi…" I said hesitation in my voice as he begun to unbutton his pants. The sight of his bare chest made my blood pump in my head. He smirked as he parted my legging clad legs lying between them. His mouth brushed mine before he kissed the tip of my nose. Then he pressed against me roughly and I gasped in surprise tensing at the sensation. He let out a fluttering breath and buried his nose and my hair before grinding against me once more earning a cry from me. Should we be doing this? This knot in my stomach, what exactly was it? He interrupted my train of thought again as he grabbed my hand slowly raising himself over me, grey eyes darkened to a rich stormy grey. His lips were parted slightly as he stared at me and I realized I was holding my breath. Shifting his grasp so it landed on my wrist he lowered my hand slowly eyes on mine. Those grey eyes I could get lost in. He guided it down till we both slipped under the his briefs and I tensed visibly. He wouldn't. Sure I thought of Takeshi and enjoyed how gorgeous he was, but I never thought of him intimately. I blushed hotly at this new sensation and bit my lip as my fingertips brushed against his- my eyes widened as he groaned a sound I had never heard him make. I tried to pull away, had I hurt him? Were my hands too cold?

"Don't." he said huskily smirking.

"Takeshi, I don't think this is… this is embarrassing what do I do with- with…" I began to stammer blushing hotly as I made a motion to his, oh I couldn't say it.

"With what Aiko? My what? My…" he trailed off eyes gleaming. He was enjoying this, the teasing. I glared up at him through my blush hand still in his pants. "Wrap your hand around it little one." I paused at his words, his voice dropping an octave. This man was a demon, probably older than I was and more experienced. But what if he was a beast of a demon? Was he a large demon that didn't have experience with a human? Would I hurt him in my inexperience? Did some of his- "I know you aren't taking this time to think. You asked what to do with it, I told you. Aiko… please don't deny me this…" he ended it softly a silent plead. His eyes had lightened and his face was a mix of pain and frustration. So I obliged him and he closed his eyes with a sigh releasing my wrist. I blushed when he jerked into my hand slightly with another groan that made my stomach tight. His skin was smooth yet impossibly warm. Did men often feel this way? He moved again and shuddered above me teeth slightly bared. I stared at him drinking the look on his face. Was it pleasure? Was he enjoying this? I tightened my hand a bit and his eyes shot open slightly clouded with that look again. Like he wanted to eat me, soul and all. His hips rolled again and he moaned once more as his hand slid under my oversized shirt. A trail of goose bumps lay in the wake of his touch as he drew closer to my bra and as I looked him in the eye there was a knock at the door that made us both jump.

"Kuronue." Called a unfamiliar voice and I blushed pulling my hand back and staring at Takeshi embarrassed and a little upset. It must've showed because he chuckled and I stared up at him. That fortune teller's image came up again as I felt a wave of her energy again as well as Yusuke's.

"Are you upset about me putting your hand around my cock or about the knock?" He asked that salacious grin on his face. Never had I heard him speak like that, that teasing tone startled me but I loved it none the less.

"They are here to take you away huh?" I began sitting up slowly. His lips hit mine as he zipped his pants back up. They were soft and controlled as he cupped my cheek using one hand as support. His teeth pulled my lip gently and I joined in just as gentle. He relaxed then and I realized he was tense. I continued to kiss him hands in his hair gently caressing. If he was going to be taken away, then I wanted this to mean something even if it wasn't sex. I loved him, I loved him when we were both young and I loved him through his rough times. A wet drop fell down my cheek and I pulled away checking if it was me crying again. I paused touching my face as I looked up. His eyes were close but the small shine of a tear clung to his cheek. I wiped his face as the door opened not wanting anyone to see that moment of vulnerability. He opened his eyes shooting me an apologetic look. I shifted to the side to see a banged up Yusuke and a woman with cotton candy blue hair held high in a ponytail. She wore a magenta pink sweater with a brown belt tied around her waist and loose dark violet pants. She looked around the room then back at Takeshi who had stood up slowly back to them hair falling down his shoulders neatly even after my gentle pulling.

"If you are coming to take me away, then do so. I will not fight. But I warn you if you bring her in as well I will make it a problem. She has nothing to do with this." Takeshi said barely looking over his shoulders. Yusuke waltzed in and looked at me surprised I must have looked like a wreck, hair probably a mess, eyes puffy from crying and lips swollen from Takeshi's lustful ministrations. However the woman sighed pulling a chair from the corner surprising Yusuke and me. If Takeshi was surprised I didn't know.

"That won't be a problem, you see Lord Koenma has a different plan for you, both of you. There are numerous records about you Kuronue. It seems even up to the time of your death you were a ruthless notorious thief, friend of the notorious Youko Kurama. In all honesty, you should be up on the chopping block for your crimes. However, your stint in Spirit World earlier this week showed something Lord Koenma didn't expect. You spared a guard's life and assisted in saving 2 others. That doesn't seem to be in your repertoire at all. You aided in the stealing of the items but surveillance saw several things that may have saved you from,well you know." She said grinning and slowly dragging a finger across her neck to better state the obvious. I swallowed the lump that was forming in my throat.

He turned to her finally sitting by my side on the bed arm brushing my arm gently. What she was saying must have interested him. He looked cautiously at both of them though, Takeshi wasn't huge on trust. From the confused Yusuke to the bubbly woman who continued rambling.

"What are you talking about Botan?" Yusuke finally asked irritated like.

"I mean we are not arresting him if he agrees to terms. Koenma doesn't exactly believe you can take down Kurama and Hiei alone otherwise we'd be doing this in Spirit World but we don't have time." She then turned to Takeshi with those dark pink eyes. "We are giving you a second chance Kuronue." She said smiling widely and clapping her hands together.

"Aye, I am Kuronue as you have stated and I did not harm a soul within that particular heist however…" Takeshi said looking to me to see if I believed him. The coldness leaft his face as he stared at me, emotions racing against his face so quick I could hardly catch it. "My terms need to be thrown out there as well." He started holding a hand up as she went to interject. "Yusuke, this is all I have in my life." he said making a motion to the wall of pictures. Yusuke turned to it glancing between all the photos. "The most decent portion in my existence that I truly feel at peace. But I can't aid in killing Kurama. But I can assure you, he isn't going to have that mirror for long." his voice seemed somber at that and I wished he hadn't been so cryptic. What did he mean. "My second term, don't make me part from my family's side. You have seen what the loss of a loved one does, human boy. If not for me do it for Aiko. I will assist you in any way possible and I understand I have no room to request anything of Lord Koenma. I just cannot- I will not break my promises." Takeshi said appealing to Yusuke who looked at Takeshi with a mutual understanding.

"That isn't my call and we know about the mirror but I will have you know-" Botan said raising her finger up only to have Yusuke interject.

"Give him a break Botan. The guy is harmless just like the other guy, people can change I proved that. Maybe demons can too. And Aiko wouldn't be caught near a scum bag. You can't take him away from his family if he saved lives that day. That isn't fair." Yusuke retorted barking at the poor girl.

"Yes, but if you'd let me finish you loud mouth." She told Yusuke rubbing her ear before turning back to Takeshi. "Koenma had no intention of removing you from here. I told him about your friend here being able to see me, which at her current level of energy she shouldn't. We believe it may be valuable to Yusuke as you are to keep her out of the crossfire and perhaps keeping her attached to him may help-" she stopped thinking of a word.

"Leash him?" I asked frowning at her which caused Takeshi to chuckle darkly. She blushed but nodded looking away. There was really no polite form of it. "Takeshi doesn't need me to be his conscience. And he stays true to his word." I didn't say sometimes. Takeshi often gets side tracked when it comes to his word conflicting with an old promise. Such as this current situation.

"Now as I was saying here are Koenma's terms in order for you not to be incarcerated or executed are..." she began and I stared confused about the entire situation. Spirit World actually gave people community service? However the thought of Takeshi being executed made my heart beat fast. His hand grasping mine with in the blankets helped me calm down. Takeshi wasn't going to die again. My thoughts went immediately to Shuichi though. How much trouble would he be in?
