Kwabara stares at the jet black haired man in front of him.. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

Ýusuke, BAKA!" He exclaimed.

"But you must understand, I'm doing this not for me but for her. She couldn't wait every now and then for the rest of her life waiting for me and wondering if I'm alive or what.."

Yusuke couldn't look back at his friends. Even Kurama's eyes are questioning. Hiei, like as always had an undistinguished face.

"I just couldn't believe it, after all the things you both been through..."Kwabara exclaimed again.

"This matter is not only decided by yours truly, she agreed on it. We both have priorities in our life now. She's becoming a doctor and I just need to find a little more about my self." Beside we decided that we're always be the best of friends."

'Arrggggggh.' "You two always. I couldn't believe I'm hearing this" Kwabarra frown and look sideways searching for Kurama's face, "What can you say about this Kurama? Isn't Yusuke crazy?"

The red head register a half smile then answered him, "Yusuke's definitely crazy since he's letting go one of the most intelligent and nicest person I've ever met, but on the other hand the decision itself was not. I must admit I myself was also shocked but nevertheless, I agree with their decision." Kurama explained, he looked towards Yusuke, who at by that time was in deep thought. "Just one question Yusuke, how did Keiko react with this?"

The young detective stare back at him, with a huge sigh he answered the beautiful fox, "She seems okay though."

Kurama give him a smile and a slight nod.

"KURAMA-KUN, YUSUKE."

Four heads looks at the approaching figure.

"Botan.." Kurama whispered, he made that charming smile for her.

Hiei seems to frown at this.

"Hey!" the fiery girl greeted them. She gave a slight kiss into Kuramas cheek.

"hn." Hiei granted again and turn his back to the couple.



KURAMA 's POV`````

Hiei seems to be in a grimace. Until now, he doesn't seem to accept the fact that I belong to Botan. Well, I always acknowledge his feeling for me, after all I've considered him as my best friend but I just can't return the thing he's giving me.

'Konnichiwa"

A soft voice greeted us. I looked at the young lady approaching, a smile on her small cherry lips. I shifted my gaze toward Hiei again, knowingly that he stares at the beautiful young ningenkai

I've always known that next to me, he has this unusual admiration for the weak girl. He won't say it but I know. I was also confuse by this matter since he's the kind who really hated weak being but he seem to exempt her. He never was close to her though, not to mention he wont even talk to the mahogany haired girl. She's lovely got great brain, good heart, witty and full of life. Nevertheless, she's fragile and helpless. I always believe that she and Yusuke would be the nicest couple since she needs his strength and the guy needs her wits. But after hearing that they decided to be best of friends only, I wonder.

If truth would tell, I am charmed how she managed to steal Hiei's admiration, which the fire demon doesn't always give. Even though he won't be seen talking to her or even acknowledge her presence, I know that he's always watching her next to his sister, even though he knew that Yusuke would never let, even a mosquito hurt her onion-skin.

````````````````````````

Her long mahogany hair were pulled back in french braid. When she reached them, she sits next to Yusuke then giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"So, how's our soon- to-be-doctor?" Botan ask sitting beside her closest girl companion.

Yusuke took her huge bag and leaned closer to her. They seem to be the perfect couple, always at ease with each other's presence. But from us, that's a mere best friend thing, the two usually do whenever they are together.

"Unhealthfully hard." She answered mildly with a tease.

"Did I just hear you say hard?" Yusuke laid to her in a teasing tone.

Keiko raises her perfectly arched brow and replied, "Yes, you just did!"

Yusuke shrugs his shoulder and started to scratch his black hair, "When do we leave? Where's Yukina anyway?"

Hiei just give him a looked, shifted his gaze toward the smiling Keiko then diverted his attention to the walking people.

NOTE: Don't flame me up, I beg thee. Especially those Yusuke x Keiko lovers out there. Honestly, I'm one of the two's lover two. This is only for those WHAT IFS...
