Set when Keiko and Yusuke were 7. Botan makes a cameo appearence and Yuki is my creation.

It's a hot day, Keiko though as she and her friends played with the long jump rope in Yuki Sunichi's backyard. Yuki was shy, and after being homeschooled for so many years, it was hard to imagine what going to school for the last semester was terrifying for the girl. Keiko befriended the girl quickly, to relieve Yuki of the burden of doing her work by herself. Yuki had invited them for lemonade and games this morning since it was obvious that they wouldn't be doing anything else this lazy Saturday. Keiko ran into the swinging rope, turned by Yuki and a girl that had come for a visit named Botan. Yuki brushed black hair away from blue eyes with her left hand as her right swung the rope. Some unruly strans of hair blew across her pale face and clung to the corners of her red lips and she chanted.
"Ice cream, soda pop, cherry on top. Choose your boyfriend give it a shot. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y.-"
Keiko tripped on the rope, landing ungracefully on the dusty ground.
"Y, Keiko. Yusuke!"
Shaking her head, Keiko stood at the sound of her friend's name. "I don't lik-"
"No, Yusuke's behind you."
Turning around, Keiko's face turned red as she spotted the 7 year old staring at her from his position leaning against an ash tree, leaves giving the boy some shade from the blazing sun.
"Yusuke! What are you doing here?"
"Ahh, it was a boring day. I already picked a fight with Kuwabara, and won, and now there's nothing to do," Yusuke answered evenly, not even seeming to care. He raked a hand through his greased hair, and then wiped the grease off on his green shirt.
A steady blush seeped onto the brunette's face, maybe from anger at the thought of being a consolation prize, maybe from being adressed by Yusuke, the yakuza that she saw as a friend. Stuttering slightly, she replied indignantly, "So, I'm just something to fill up your time! Humph." She tossed up her nose angrily, closing hazel eyes that burned with anger.
Yuki giggled at the banter that she knew was unknown flirting between the two. Motioning to Botan, she pulled her inside with the promise of cookies and cold lemonade if she did not disturbed the two.
Keiko sighed when she realized the boy would not answer and turned to follow her friends inside. But in a show of pure desperation, Yusuke stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Um, Keiko. You're not something to fill my time, you're my friend." Yusuke then turned and left, quite aware that the 7 year old girl he had talked to was confused by his words.
