Too late to go back
A/n- T.T last chapter everyone! This is so sad! I had a great time writing this!
To Bubblegumyumyum- Sayko never made the bet in this story. And I know about the not being possible thing, but I thought oh what the heck! I'm also very glad that YYH is back with the new eps.!
Thank you all so much! You really helped me! Even if you NEVER REVIEWED!! THANK YOU!
It had been two day since Yusuke had left them all. They were still on Hanging neck island. Sayko, had paid extra money to the very greedy captain to pick up Yusuke's things. Keiko and the others had seen Sayko himself come in pick him up in his limo. Sayko seemed overjoyed that his only son to come and live with him. He was about the only one, even Yusuke had seemed uneasy at the idea.
Two, long days.
Keiko hopped onto her bed with a sigh. She hugged her pillow and pretended it was Yusuke instead.
"Come'n Keiko!" Botan yelled as she came into the room.
"Take your mind off that boy and come to the gift shop with us!"
"Aw! Not now Botan, maybe I'll come down later…"
"Why don't you want to come down with us?" Yukina asked innocently as she came in with Puu in her arms.
"Hi Puu," Keiko cooed as she took him from her. Puu, much like her, didn't seem to be doing so good.
"It's just without Yusuke, I don't feel like myself. He was the only thing that I had really, without him, I don't know who I am anymore."
"Oh pish posh!" Botan yelled as she plopped down on the bed next to Keiko, Yukina followed and sat down on the other side of her.
"You got looks, brains, passion, a great family, you're athletic, what don't you have?" Botan questioned.
"…Yusuke." Keiko said meekly.
"You could get any guy in your school, forget about him!" Botan yelled.
"I don't want anyone but him." She pouted.
"Hm. You're better off alone." A new voice called at the door. Everyone turned to see Shizuru by the door.
"Give it a rest, starting right now, you don't need him!"
"YEAH!" Botan yelled alone. Yukina, as always, sat there very confused.
"So, does that mean you'll come with us to the gift shop?" Yukina asked Keiko.
"Yeah, sure, why not?" Keiko said, a small smile on her face.
"HURRAY! Let's go!" Botan cheered. Everyone stood up and started towards the door when the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Shizuru said with a laugh.
"Hello?" She asked.
The girls were about to go wait outside when Shizuru said,
"Keiko?"
"Yeah?" she asked.
"You know everything I just said?"
"Uh-huh."
"Forget it."
"What do you mean Shizuru?" Botan asked.
"It's Yusuke… for you." Shizuru said, a glint of mischief in her eyes. She held out the phone for Keiko to take.
Keiko gasped and ran to the phone in record sped.
"Hello?! Yusuke?!" she spoke eagerly into the phone.
"Hey Keiko, what's up?" He asked casually.
"…I have a good mind to hang up on you right now!"
"No! don't!" He yelled quickly.
"…"
He sighed heavily.
"It's weird here. And I miss you, will you come see me. Please?" he said innocently.
"…Maybe…"
"Ha ha. I know you! You'll come… at least I hope you will."
"Ok. Fine."
"Great! Hey, why don't you have everyone come? I want to see everyone before you all leave."
The words sunk in. 'Before you leave'
"Y-yeah." She whispered.
"Sure."
"Is now a good time?"
"Um yeah. I guess so." She said, a little less sad than before.
"Good," He said in his cocky voice, how she was going to miss that voice…
"Because I'm outside waiting for you all." She smiled, hung up the phone and started to run out the door.
"Keiko! What did he say!?" Botan yelled.
"Get the guys! Yusuke's outside waiting for us!" Keiko squealed as she ran out to the lobby.
"What's taking Yusuke so long?" Kuwabara grumbled.
"Yusuke said that he wanted to change quick before giving us the tour." Keiko explained calmly as they all waited outside.
"…" It had already been ten minutes since he left to go change. But than again, it was a very large house…
"Maybe I should go looking for him…" Keiko pondered aloud.
"Nah, you would get lost." A new voice said. They all turned to see a boy with shaggy brown hair and piercing green eyes in a white tennis outfit.
"Hey, my name's Miro." He said (it's late and I don't want to make up a new character!) "I give Mr. Sayko his tennis lessons. I could give you some free ones if you want." He said to Keiko as he walked forward to her and grabbed her hands. (like Kouga does to Kagome!)
"Um, ;;; nice to meet you! But I'm afraid I'll have to pass…"
"Oh? And why would that be? It would only take a few minutes…" He said seductively.
"Back off Miro or your but will be on the street faster than your little brain can imagine!" Yusuke yelled as he came into view.
"Huh! I don't work for you Yusuke, I work for Sayko!" Miro challenged as he put his arm around Keiko's waist.
"Umm… ;;;; please don't do that!" Keiko said a little embarrassed as she moved away towards Yusuke.
"Yeah! Like he would care if I fired you." Yusuke mumbled as he slipped his arm around Keiko.
"Come on, I'll give you the grand tour." He said as they all turned around to go down the opposite hall.
While the rest of the gang went to go see the swimming pool, Yusuke and Keiko went to take a quick walk around the fountain and through the park.
"So how are you adjusting to this lifestyle?" Keiko asked while soaking in the sunshine, along with the few moments that she had left with one of the only boys she could ever confined in.
"It's really weird you know? I have to wear weird clothes and change for like, every meal. I hardly ever see my dad and it's really lonely."
"…" They walked in silence for a moment and took a short cut into the estate.
"If it makes you feel any better," Keiko said,
"I've been really lonely too."
"That's doesn't make me feel better." He said. He looked at her and she looked at him and the both smiled at each other. Suddenly they heard someone talking on the phone, they quickly realized that it was Sakyo.
"Yeah, it's great having the kid… no I was paying for his expenses before anyway so it doesn't change much… I'll find time in my schedule, don't worry! We'll be fine…. Who? Keiko Yukimora? Oh yes that little girl friend of his… Who cares? She was a waste of time in his life and a café owners little daughter! He'll be better off without her…"
Keiko didn't listen to the rest. Was she really that bad for him? It didn't matter any more. So she ran and didn't look back, not even when Yusuke called her name over, and over, and over again. She just kept on running. Sayko was right! She was always bad for him! How could she compete with someone like Sayko with this huge house and this rich lifestyle? She had nothing to offer him, there was no way he would ever come back to her. She could feel the tears streaming down her face now, she didn't feel like crying anymore. She was tired of crying all the time. She was tired of being considered weak. She had to be strong through this. For Yusuke. She decided at that moment to be strong. So she whipped her tears and let her mind and heart accept that she would never see him again. She had to do whatever it took to make sure that Yusuke would be alright. Whatever it took, even if meant that it would take her out of the picture.
"KIEKO! WAIT!" Yusuke screamed after her. He heard a door open and a voice demand to know what was wrong. Turning around, he saw Sayko.
"Why would you ever say that?!" he screamed through clenched teeth.
"Huh?! What were you thinking?"
"I was thinking exactly what I said Yusuke." Sayko replied calmly. He turned around and started to walk back to his office.
"Dinner will be at five thirty tonight. I have a lot of work to catch up on…"
Yusuke turned around and clenched his eyes. His nose felt tingly and he could feel his chin begin to quake.
"I'm… crying…" he said softly, opening his eyes and catching a tear on his finger.
'…Is it worth being here if I hurt those who are all closest to me?' he questioned himself. He had flashbacks of Keiko running away from him, Hiei telling him that emotions were worthless and that he was glad that Yusuke would finally be out of his hair, of Kurama helping him with his homework that Keiko commanded he do. Of him and Kuwabara challenging each other at the arcade, of him making fun of Botan and her trying to tell him the latest scoop. Of Shizuru pounding her brother and of Yukina pretending to understand what Kuwabara was saying when he repeatedly said that he loved her. How could he possibly leave all those people? And all those memories?
"I said… LET ME GO SEE MY SON YOU FILTLY B-"
"MOM?!" Yusuke shouted as he came across the front gate in his pursuit of Keiko.
"Yusuke?" She said unbelievingly.
"YUSUKE!" she yelled as she pummeled by the guards to hug him.
"Why would you leave me like that?!" she demanded as she started to cry.
"Aw! Not you too mother! I can't stand ANOTHER girl crying because I'm an idiot!"
BONK!
"-.- What other girl did you make cry?" Atsuko demanded.
".;;; Well, that moment of love went fast…"
"Atsuko?" A new feminine girl questioned. They both turned to see Keiko standing a few yards away.
"Oh! Atsuko! It is you, I thought so but I wasn't quite sure…"
"…" both the teens suddenly realized the presents of each other and turned to blush slightly. Atsuko, however, didn't seem to notice.
"Yusuke, I have papers here that clearly state that you're in MY custody, not the jerk of a father of yours…"
"You mean to say you knew who Yusuke's father was the whole time?" Keiko asked.
"…I didn't know he was living here… but yeah, I know Sayko. We were so happy together! Than, one of his secretary's came to me one day and told me that he came on to her. I was so mad… so I left. When I finally realized that he couldn't do anything like that because he was on out of the country the first week of her work and the one day that he was with her, it was only a half hours interview and I was in the room the whole time, I ran back to him to beg his forgiveness. Unfortunately, he changed in the short time I was gone, or maybe he was always like that, and I just never noticed. He was obsessed with money and death. I got scared and I left again, this time with you Yusuke. He didn't want me to leave, but after I signed the divorce papers, he wanted custody. Well, I got custody, I didn't want to keep that chapter of ours lives open anymore, so I cut off all connections to him. Somehow, he still paid my rent, and put food on the table. I didn't want you to turn out like him Yusuke, I still don't. So I'm sorry, but you're coming back with me!"
"Heh. Don't need to tell me twice, I'm leaving wither you want me or not!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"What?! What about your new life here? And all this stuff you didn't want to miss out on?" Keiko asked. Yusuke smiled at her.
"I'd rather miss out on this stuff, than miss out on being with all of you guys…" Keiko returned his smile, and with out notice, hugged him tight.
"Do you think that you'll miss this place?" Keiko asked Yusuke on the boat ride home.
"Maybe, but I'd miss not being at home even more. It wasn't too late to stop being so selfish, but It's too late to go back on everything else that I have now." Keiko nodded in agreement.
'It is too late to go back…' she thought to herself as she stared into the disappearing sunset.
'It's too late to go back on me being worried that he's gonna get killed every second of everyday. It's too late to go back on my promise that I'll be strong for him, it's too late to go back on knowing my best friends and the only guy I've every cared about deepest secret…' She took a sideways glance at Yusuke.
"And it's way too late to go back on loving him…"
"Huh?" Yusuke asked as he turned towards her.
"Did you say something?"
"No…" she said happily
'Just that I'm glad that if I have to be stuck not being able to go back on what's happened, that it's with you…' she whispered to herself as she smiled and let the ocean breeze clam her into a haze of peace.
