No I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, but with all these dreams I'm having, I sometimes think I do.
A/N:
Wow, ten reviews! I'm so proud of myself. Thanks to all of you who reviewed. I'm sorry to say that my dream never finished. But, I did have a few more very strange dreams. I even had an Inuyasha one that, in my opinion, made no sense at all. Anyway, this chapter was pulled from the very depths of my mind. I'm sorry it took so long. I was busy trying to cure my writer's block for Trademark Move. Oh, by the way, it looks like some of you are confused. No one tried to kill Yusuke! He accidentally electrocuted himself. Anyway, here's the chapter. Oh, Reikachan14! Thank you so much for the title idea!
Ch: A Sudden Revelation
A brunette girl, in a fold-up chair sat next to a hospital bed. Lying on the bed was an unconscious black haired boy. He seemed to be completely unaware of the worried tears running down the girl's face. The girl ran her fingers through the boy's hair as she gently talked to him.
"You're going to be okay Yusuke. I'm here," she said. Yusuke's head was bandaged and an IV was in his arm.
Just then the door opened and Kurama walked in with a worried look on his face. "They got a hold of her, but..." he trailed off.
"But what?" Keiko asked.
Kurama took a deep breath. "She's drunk."
Keiko's worried face quickly turned to anger. "What do you mean she's drunk? How can she go off and party all night, not come home, and still be drunk in the morning? Has she forgotten she has a child?!"
Kurama put an arm around her shoulders to calm her. "The doctor said he'd be okay, Keiko."
Keiko crossed her arms and sat back in her chair. "Well, when she does sober up, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind!"
Kurama grinned and shook his head. He looked at Yusuke, and the smile quickly left his face. I guess I can't blame her for being angry, he thought. He looked over at the still black figure on the windowsill, almost forgetting that he was there. "Are you awake Hiei?"
"Hn."
"I guess that's a yes."
Kurama said to both of them, "Kuwabara, Botan, and Yukina went down to the snack bar to get some food. I'm about to head down there too. Do you two want anything?"
Keiko looked up and said, "I'll have a salad." She reached in her pocket for money, but Kurama stopped her.
"My treat," he said. She smiled.
"Thank you."
He turned to speak to Hiei. "Well, Hiei?"
"I'm not hungry," he stated.
"Hiei," Kurama said, with a worried look on his face, "you haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon." When Hiei didn't reply, he added, "I'll just grab you a burger and..."
"I said I'm not hungry, Fox!"
:"But, Hiei..."
"I said I'm. Not. Hungry."
"What's all the fuss about?" They all three turned around to see Kiros standing in the doorway with a gigantic slushy in her hands.
Hiei watched her slurp it and thought that she looked like a little girl.
"Nothing," Kurama said. "Hiei's not hungry...again."
Kiros rolled her eyes and walked over to Hiei. She held the slushy straw to his mouth and he turned his head.
"Hiei," she stated demandingly, "Drink!" Hiei turned back around and quickly took a sip. He didn't like it when she got angry. Kiros told Kurama, "Get him a burger."
Hiei rolled his eyes. When Kurama had left, Kiros said to Hiei, "I know you're worried about Yusuke, but that's no reason not to eat."
"I'm not worried," Hiei said coldly.
"Why not?"
"Hn, the doctor already said he'd be fine and probably conscious in a few hours."
Kiros smiled. "Just because the doctor said he'd be fine, doesn't mean you can't worry a little does it?"
When he didn't reply, she sat down next to him. She made sure she caught his eye before she cutely sipped her slushy. She grinned evilly when he smirked.
Keiko started feeling a little uncomfortable seeing them flirt in front of her.
She stood up and said, "I think I'll head over to the snack bar and get that salad myself." She lightly kissed Yusuke's forehead. She blushed and hurried out when she saw Kiros smiling at her.
Kiros set down her slushy, and snuggled into Hiei's chest. "We're alone," she said. Hiei sighed and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer.
After a while of silence between them, Kiros asked, "Hiei, why do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Close yourself up."
"Hn."
"There's nothing wrong with letting us know how you feel, Hiei."
Before Hiei could answer, there came a low moan from the bed. They both jumped up and ran to Yusuke's side, just in time to see his eyes flutter open.
He looked around a little confused before asking,
"Where am I?"
Kiros giggled and said, "Morning Sunshine, you're in the hospital."
Yusuke cocked an eyebrow and sat up. "The hospital? Why?" He began feeling and looking at himself, trying to find any injuries.
"We found you in the bath tub. You were electrocuted by a hair-dryer.
When you fell, you must have bumped your head. It has a pretty good gash."
Yusuke's face quickly turned red with embarrassment. "In the tub?"
"Don't worry Yusuke," Kiros said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I think you have a nice body."
Yusuke's eyes were getting a little wide and his face was getting redder. "I'm kidding Yusuke!" Kiros exclaimed. "We're glad you're okay." She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug.

"How long do you think it will be 'til Urameshi wakes up, Kurama?"
Kurama smiled. "It's not a thing you can time, Kuwabara. We just have to wait and hope for the best."
Everyone looked over at Keiko as a sad sigh escaped her lips. Yukina put her hands in Keiko's. "Don't worry Keiko-chan. I'm sure Yusuke will be alright."
"Yes, Keiko!" Botan exclaimed. "I mean come on! If he can survive a thousand near death experiences with demons, he can certainly survive a little shock from a hair-dryer!"
Keiko smiled to try to be polite. "Thank you."
Kurama patted her on the back as they came to Yusuke's floor. As they walked out of the elevator with all the food, a nurse came running up to them. "Miss Keiko! Yusuke has come to!"
Keiko dropped her salad and sprinted to Yusuke's door, with everybody else following closely behind. When she reached his door, she flung it open.
There was Yusuke, sitting up against a pillow as a nurse took his temperature. He looked at the door and met Keiko's eyes. They stayed silent for the longest time, just staring each other. Then a small grin crossed Yusuke's lips.
"Hey, Keiko," he said.
Keiko grinned back as tears of joy came to her eyes. "Yusuke!" she shouted as she ran to him. She jumped into his arms, almost running into the nurse. "You scared me, you brat!
What happened?"
Yusuke wrapped his arms around her as he told what he remembered. Hiei and Kiros were both back in the windowsill. Everybody else took a chair and listened to Yusuke's story.
It was two days later when the doctor said Yusuke could go home. Atsuko came to the hospital the day before. When Keiko saw her, she went off. It took a while for everyone to get her to calm down.
Of course Atsuko did what she usually did. She listened, and then apologized to everyone. And, of course, Yusuke forgave her like all the times before.
The next day, after everyone had left, Atsuko went down to the car to drive Yusuke home. Keiko was still there.
Yusuke was supposed to stay in bed for three days when he got home, so
Keiko refused to leave his side.
"I just want to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid to hurt himself again," she had explained.
Keiko was now pushing him in a wheelchair from the room to the car. They were silent for a while, before Yusuke broke the silence. "Keiko."
"Yes."
"You should probably head to your house, shouldn't you?"
Keiko glared at the back of his head. "I'm not leaving until you're better Yusuke."
"Why? I'll be fine."
"Because I want to make sure that you don't do something stupid like that again and hurt yourself before you're back on your feet."
"Keiko I'm serious. My mom will drive you home. You don't need to stay with me. My mom promised to stay home, until I can leave the house."
Suddenly, Keiko stopped the wheelchair. She got in front of Yusuke and in his face. "Don't you get it Yusuke?! She'll break her promise and leave just like she always does. I can't remember a time she kept a promise to you. Remember when we were supposed to take care of your body when you died? Who took care of you Yusuke? Who? Not her!
Me! She went off and got drunk and left you all to me! I
Don't want something like that to happen again and..."
Yusuke grabbed her hands. "Keiko." He wiped the tears from her eyes that had sprung unnoticed by her. Yusuke smiled. "I never realized you cared so much about me."
Keiko whispered, "If I don't...who will?"
Yusuke grinned and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you."
A/N:
Well faithful readers, what did you all think? Pretty good? In case you all are confused, I will say once again that Kiros is my made-up character. She has a past with Hiei, and besides Kurama, she's the only one that can get him to open up and smile once in a while! Oh, and you may have guessed that, yes, they are dating! She is also a fire demon, but that's all I can let you know. If you want to learn more about her, Y'all have to wait and read Trademark Move later on, when I get farther into the story.
