Grandma's Evil Boot Camp

Chapter 3- Admission to Boot Camp

After taking a bus kindly provided by Koenma, they reached Genkai's place with time to spare. Keiko looked up at the large looming structure.

"Looks roomy don't you think?" she asked Yusuke.

"Yeah. Sure. Whatever." Yusuke said unenthused.

Keiko grasped his hand.

"Come on." She said happily, pulling him up the stairs.

They stepped inside and it was dark.

Suddenly, Keiko wasn't quite so happy anymore.

She shivered.

"What's wrong Keiko?" Yusuke asked.

"N-nothing. I'm just s-suddenly so c-c-cold." She said stuttering.

Yusuke hugged her tight to keep her warm.

He whispered.

"You'd better get used to it. It's gonna be like this the whole time."

Keiko smiled. His voice tickled her ear and his body warmth had started to make her feel better already.

"I love you Yusuke." She whispered back.

Yusuke grinned.

"I know."

They walked forward into the darkness. By this time, Yusuke was holding Keiko in his arms to keep her warm.

"Hey Genkai." He yelled.

"D'you think you could turn on the lights?! You're makin' her cold!"

Suddenly, torches lit throughout the halls. Yusuke brought Keiko next to one of them to warm her up a bit more.

"Thanks Grandma." Yusuke said.

Keiko smiled then shivered. Yusuke hugged her tighter and she cuddled up to him.

"Ok Genkai. You can come out now. I'm ready." He stated, his voice ringing in the halls.

"Alright alright dimwit." Came an old creaky voice as a woman, not much taller than three feet, walked towards them.

"She looks creepy Yusuke." Keiko whispered into Yusuke's ear.

Yusuke nodded.

"Ignore it" he advised her.

Keiko nodded in agreement.

Genkai walked closer.

"Hello dimwit. I take it you swayed her to come with you." Genkai said quietly.

"I have my reasons Grandma, now make with the training. I'd like to get done this millennium." He said, glancing at Keiko who was still shivering.

"Hey, but first can I bring Keiko someplace warmer?" he asked.

Genkai nodded and Yusuke carried Keiko out of that hall and into the middle part of the palace.

Keiko stopped shivering. It was much warmer in here. Yusuke smiled and so did Keiko. He walked back into the hall to train. Leaving Keiko alone.

Yusuke had only been training for an hour or so. But Keiko missed him nonetheless.

Suddenly a scream issued from the training room.

//Yusuke.// Keiko thought alarmed.
