Author's note: I started a Yusuke-Hiei oneshot last night, but is currently debating if I should bother finish it, let alone post it. xP There just aren't enough YH fans. But on another note, a lot of people appreciate the quick updates! I guess that's good news for me. Thanks for all the reviews! You guys rock, seriously!

Quick comments (to the reviews that need an answer): Ryukotsusei: I hope she has air holes. XD and slancaster113:You're looking too much into it. :sweat drop: I promise, I wouldn't lie in the summary. ;-)

"Keiko," I started. She heard me from down the hall and hurried back into the bedroom.

"You're going to Genkai's temple again, aren't you? You're always doing that, aren't you?" she exhaled a sigh. "What's so important over there?"

"Nothing really. I just need to talk to Yukina." What she said bothered me.

"Then you won't mind if I go, too?"

The question took me off guard. I hadn't expected that! But if she didn't trust me that much, then fine.

"No. By all means. It will be a more interesting trip there if you come." I answered. She glanced up at me, blinked, and then smiled.

"Okay! I'll get ready!" Now I was the one who sighed. I really wanted to go alone, but if she was this excited about coming, why not?

It was still late. No one was out on the street; of course, they haven't been since the weekend. These roads seemed much more lonely lately. I haven't been this distracted in a long while. It dawned on me not too long ago that she knew something was up. I seriously doubted she knew I was with Hiei every time 'I needed fresh air'. But she was no fool, and probably thinks I'm cheating her to some extent.

We made it to Genkai's in no time. It was indeed more enjoyable with some one to converse with. Keiko silently insisted that we hold hands the entire time, though. I guess she was claiming me as hers to the entire female population. Then again, with my devilish good looks, who could blame her for being over protective?

Genkai greeted us at the door in Yukina's stead.

"Hello, Dimwit." she said, opening the doors. Her eyes widened at the woman next to me. "Keiko, what a nice surprise."

"Hello, Genkai." she replied politely, bowing.

"Is Yukina here?" I asked, very much to the point.

"In her room. What's the rush?" Genkai glared at me. I shrugged, pretending I had no specific answer, and ran passed the fossil desperately looking for the Ice apparition's dorm.

"Yukina!" I squealed as I rammed opened her door (rudely, I admit), sounding eerily like Kuwabara.

"Hello, Yusuke." she said, looking up from a humongous novel. I suppose with her brother found, she has a lot more free time.

"What's wrong?" she inquired, shaken up a tad from my rushed appearance.

"About what you said yesterday–" I trailed off, but there was no reason to finish.

"I knew you'd bring that up eventually." she smiled at me. I felt guilty glaring at her the way I was. "It's no mystery," she continued, "I just read your mind."

"Eh?" My eye capacity must have tripled at least.

"Is it so surprising considering I'm Hiei's sister?" She loved brining that up. And Hiei was so worried about telling her. I mentally sweat dropped.

"I thought he could do that because of his Jagan?(1)" I said, calming down slightly.

"No, this power we inherited." she grinned wider, eyes closed, with a humorous expression on her face. I groaned. Her smile weakened a little, and her eyes shined with a...sadder light. "My brother was...lingering in your thoughts in their entirety that day." I visibly stiffened.

"That's not...true! I think of other things!"

"Not from what I saw." she looked down, and put her hand to her chest in her classic pose. "Please, don't do something you might regret. I don't want you to hurt Keiko, and I especially don't want you to hurt Hiei-kun..."

"..." I bit my lower lip.

"So don't..." she paused again. "...um...not unless you mean it." She shook her head for effect. I scratched my arm. Unless I mean it, huh?

1. I know Yukina can't really, and it /is/ probably the Jagan, but work with me. :sweat:

Author's note: Slightly longer update. O.o;; Go me. I didn't proof read this...at all...so I'm sure there's more grammatical errors and misspellings than I can count. But oh well. :sweat: I'll try harder this weekend when I have more time and less homework. UNTIL THEN. :-D
