A Lover's Destiny

Chapter 15-Wedding Plans

Yukina smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Allowing him to carry her to Kurama's house.

Kuwabara walked to Kurama's house smiling.

Keiko was still watching Hiei and Naturo out the window.

"Come here Yusuke. You've got to see this." She said, beckoning for him to come sit next to her.

Hiei ran as Naturo chased him. Nature was faster than Hiei.

Yusuke sauntered over there. He knew if he didn't Keiko would be mad at him.

He sat down next to her.

Hikari watched Hiei and Naturo run. "Naturo is faster than Hiei…and he's only a baby…" Hikari said to herself.

"That's odd. Funny, but odd. Hiei must be slowing down now that he's older." Keiko said.

"Exactly how old is he anyway?" Yusuke asked curiously.

"416 this year…" Hikari muttered. "and ability never decreases as demons get older. Gets stronger if anything."

"Well, I can tell ya one thing. Naturo is gonna be REALLY strong when he gets older." Keiko said.

"He's already too freakin' strong." Yusuke said crossing his arms.

Hikari gave a death glare to Yusuke.

Yusuke shuddered. "What? It was a compliment.

"Well, I'm sorry but everything that has come out of that idiotic mouth about Naturo has been hatred or a complaint about him or something. So I can't tell when you are even complimenting him. Heck. I didn't even thing you could say a compliment about him and I am highly doubting that was a compliment."

Yusuke stuck his tongue out. "Ok…so I try to say one nice thing and you flip out on me. Sheesh."

"Well, every single thing that has been a complaint about h--" Hikari stopped as she head a crash. She saw Hiei fall and sighed.

Naturo ran and jumped on his back, smiling. Hiei chuckled.

Keiko smiled. Yusuke turned his back to the window.

"Who cares." He said himself.

Hikari glared at Yusuke again. She wanted to hurt Yusuke so bad.

Yusuke stood up and looked out the other window. He saw Kuwabara coming up the steps with Yukina in his arms.

"Well, looks like he's got his hands full." He said smirking.

Kuwabara came into Kurama's house. Smiling happily.

Yukina smiled too.

"Keiko? Would you happen to have some time to help me pick out the wedding stuff?" she asked kindly.

Keiko smiled and nodded. "Sure! I love weddings!"

"Hikari? Maybe you could help too. Or at least give some advice." Yukina suggested.

Hikari smiled. "I will help." She said.

Yukina hugged Kuwabara's neck tighter. "This is going to be so fun. You don't have to help if you don't want to Kazuma."

"I want to help." He said smiling.

Yukina smiled cutely. "Good."

Kuwabara kissed the tip of her nose.

Yukina giggled.

Kuwabara chuckled.

Yusuke glared at Kuwabara. "You might just want to sit down you idiot. How do you expect Yukina to be able to look at any boring magazines when she's still being held by a big ugly oaf?" he said leaning against the wall.

Hikari glared at Yusuke. She had had WAY to much of him insulting everyone. She ran and kicked him upside the head. Hard.

Yusuke took the blow and stumbled falling flat on his face.

Hikari glared at him.

Yukina covered her mouth. "Hikari, really…it's ok. That wasn't really…"

"No. He has been insulting Naturo all day and when he just insults someone for no reason…that's it." She hated Yusuke more than Hiei hated Kuwabara.

Kuwabara let Yukina down.

Yusuke sat up and rubbed his face.

Hikari gave Yusuke a death glare.

Yusuke laid back down on the floor. "No…more…death glares…" he muttered.

Hikari stuck out her tongue.

Yusuke stuck his out too.

Hikari continued to stick out her tongue.

"Yusuke. You'd better stick your tongue back into you mouth or you're gonna get it!" Keiko warned.

Hikari looked out the window. Again, Hiei and Naturo were chasing each other.

Kurama came into the room.

"Yukina? Would you like to use my computer?" he asked kindly.

Yukina nodded hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Keiko smiled. "You don't know how to use one do you?"

Yukina shook her head.

Kuwabara smiled. "I'll help you." he said.

Yukina smiled. "Ok."

Kurama led her into his bedroom where the computer was.

Kuwabara followed Yukina.

Kurama logged her on.

Keiko came into the room.

"I have the best website ever if you want to buy stuff for cheap." she said smiling.

Kuwabara smiled.

"eBay!" she yelled.

Kuwabara sweatdropped.

Keiko smiled. "Here, go to google.come first…" she said instructing Yukina. Yukina was just getting used to the mouse.

Kuwabara chuckled.

Yusuke sat in the other room pouting.

Hikari looked over at Yusuke. "What's wrong?" she asked kindly. She didn't have the faintest clue how to use a computer so wasn't going to try.

Yusuke was surprised she was being so nice. "It's nothing. I just wish Keiko and I could be more like Yukina and Kuwabaka. Or even you and Hiei." He said. He had a hint of disappointment in his voice.

She sighed. "She wants to be…she wants to be with you as much as possible…"

Yusuke turned away. "Yeah. But she'll never admit it."

"I…want to be with her too." He said softly.

"Then tell her. She's crazy over you."

Yusuke's eyes widened.

"She is?" he asked.

Hikari sighed. "Remember when Keikos said 'Although…maybe if I hung around with demons a little more often, I would know. Isn't that right Yusuke?' Do you remember?" she asked.

"Uh…yeah…" he said. He didn't exactly know where this was going.

"Well, since you're part demon…she literally said she wanted to hang around with you a little more often." Hikari said.

"Oh yeah. Right. But, she doesn't know that I'm part demon." Yusuke said.

"Yes she does."

Yusuke looked up.

He tilted his head.

"Since when?"

"Since about two weeks ago…when I accidently told her…" she felt really bad for telling Keiko when Yusuke didn't want her to know yet.

Yusuke's eyes widened more.

"You…I mean…she…" Yusuke muttered. He seemed to be lost for words.

"Sorry." She said, feeling like a total jerk.

Yusuke sighed. "I guess I would have had to tell her sometime anyway."

"Do you think that's why she's been hitting me a lot lately or is it just because I'm an idiot?" he asked.

"Just because you haven't been very nice. You aren't an idiot." Hikari said.

Yusuke looked up at her. "Really?" he asked.

"Yes. Really."

She was acting WAY nice.

Yusuke smiled. "Thanks."

"Welcome." she smiled kindly.

"Maybe I should talk to her." he said.

Hikari nodded.

Yusuke stood up. He walked into Kurama's room.

"Keiko? Would it be alright if I talked with you? Alone I mean?" he asked her.

She was now sitting on the computer chair. Yukina behind her.

Keiko nodded.

She stood up and walked over to him. "What is it Yusuke?" she asked questioningly.

Yusuke grasped her hand. "I'd like to talk to you outside."

Hikari watched as Hiei ran from Naturo. Naturo fell but Hiei looked like he didn't even care. Hikari raced and hit Hiei hard over the head. "Baka!" she yelled. Hikari picked Naturo up and walked inside followed by Hiei.

Keiko and Yusuke watched them come inside and disappear to the other side of the house.

They both shrugged.

"Ok." Keiko answered hesitantly.

Yusuke brought her outside to the park. She same place Yusuke seemed to be so fond of.

In the other part of the house, Hikari was cleaning Naturo's little cut. Hiei grumbled something about 'there's nothing even there'

Yusuke picked up Keiko and sat down on the bench. Placing her in his lap.

Hikari held Naturo. She was now mad at Hiei.

Keiko sat and stared into Yusuke's eyes. "Yusuke? What is this all about?" she asked curiously.

Yusuke didn't know how to say it.

"You…you know I'm part demon don't you?" he asked her.

Keiko looked down as if ashamed. "Yes. Yes Yusuke. I've known for a while now."

Yusuke put his hand on her chin and held up her head. "You still love me don't you?"

Keiko sat silent for what seemed like hours to Yusuke.

"Yes, I do Yusuke. I always will." She said softly. Only loud enough for him to hear.

A small smile appeared on his face.

A VERY small smile.

Naturo fell asleep in Hikari's arms.

Hikari glared at Hiei. She walked away from him.

Keiko hugged Yusuke around the neck tightly. "You didn't think I could ever hate you did you?" she asked still hugging him.

Yusuke rubbed her sides softly. "Well…It seemed like you did."

Keiko smiled. "Of course not. I just…"

"I was just upset that you never had the guts to tell me. I can't believe you could keep something like that from me for so long." she said.

Yusuke swore he saw a small tear run down her face.

Hiei ran out of Kurama's house to give Hikari some time to think.

"It's…not like that." He said softly. Rubbing her face with his hand.

"I didn't even know till about a year ago." Keiko touched his hand.

"Yusuke. I still love you." she whispered.

Yusuke whispered back. "I love you too Keiko. I just wanted to talk to you about it. I didn't want you to hate me."

Hiei ran through the woods. In Kurama's house…Hikari was even more ticked.

She was sad because she thought he actually left her…for good.

Keiko kissed Yusuke real quick. "I think we should be getting back." She suggested.

Yusuke nodded.

He picked her up, stood up, then set her down.

Hikari held Naturo as tears ran down her face.

Keiko and Yusuke held hands and walked back to Kurama's house.

They stepped inside. Keiko saw Hikari sitting there alone. "Yusuke? Could you go help Yukina for me?"

Yusuke nodded. He hadn't noticed Hikari.

Hikari sat down, looking out the window. Tears continued to run down her face.

Keiko sat down next to her. "Is there something wrong?" she asked sweetly.

"No…n-nothing." Hikari replied.

Keiko hugged her. "I'm sorry. But I don't believe you. No one cries when there's nothing wrong."

"Tell me what happened."

"Hiei. We got into a fight because Naturo fell and he cut himself but Hiei said the cut was nothing and I got mad at Hiei and I think H-Hiei l-left for g-g-good…" Hikari said.

"I haven't known Hiei for that long but I think I know him well enough. I really don't think he would leave you just because of some tiny cut." Keiko explained.

Hikari sighed. "But lately me and h-him haven't been getting along very well…at all…"

Keiko sighed and hugged her again. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. But I still don't think he would ever leave you. I think he just needs some time to sort it all out."

Hikari nodded sadly. She really believed Hiei had left her.

"Don't worry Hikari. He'll come back." Keiko said with a lot of confidence in her voice.

She nodded again.

Keiko reached over and rubbed Naturo's arm.

Naturo woke up and sighed. "Daddy left…" he said.

"He said yesterday that he hates mommy…" Naturo said quietly.

Keiko surprised. "What? Did he really say that Oh…I'm sorry Hikari."

Hikari's eyes filled with more tears.

This was the first she had cried…in a while…

Keiko hugged both of them. "If you'd like, I could send Yusuke or one of the other guys our to find Hiei."

"Better yet…How about Kurama?"

Hikari shrugged. "That might just make it worse…" she said.

"He is Hiei's best friend. I think he could talk to him. There's no way Kurama could make anything worse." Keiko assured her.

Hikari nodded.

Keiko stood up and walked into Kurama's room. She took him over to the side and explained everything…every last detail that Hikari had told her.

Hikari bit her lip so she wouldn't cry.

Kurama nodded. "Very well. I'll talk to him. Have you any idea where he went?" he asked Keiko.

Keiko shook her head.

Hikari held Naturo close.

Kurama nodded. "Ok. I'll find him." And with that, he walked out the door and took off into the woods.

Keiko walked back into the room and sat down next to Hikari.

Hikari was staring out the window. Not staring at anything…just looking into space or something.

Keiko just sat there. She didn't want to bother her.

Tears rolled down Hikari's face.

Kurama weaved through the thick woods. He was searching everywhere. There was this one certain tree that he was almost positive he would find Hiei in.

Hiei was there.

Kurama reached the tree and looked up and saw Hiei sitting on one of the branches. He seemed to be thinking about Hikari. That's what Kurama guesssed.

Hiei was thinking about Hikari but also about Naturo. 'She's too darn protective. It just makes me want to hate her.'

Kurama knocked on the tree. "Is anyone home?"

Hiei looked down.

"What do you want?" he asked coldly.

"Hikari sent me. She…thinks you've left her for good." he explained.

"Well I didn't. I just am really mat at her right now."

"Hiei…she's crying." he said calmly.

"So?: Hiei asked coldly.

"You know what Hiei? I don't even see how she puts up with you. She may have been rude and hard to live with earlier but even I can't stand to see her like this. You know, You're letting Naturo down too. Your OWN son." Kurama explained.

Hiei glared at Kurama.

Giving him a death glare.

"Suit yourself." Kurama said. And he took off back to his house.

Hiei growled at Kurama. No one had ever made him mad enough to growl…except for Hikari.

Kurama stepped into his house. He walked over to Hikari. "He wouldn't come. I'm sorry. He did say he didn't leave for good though." Kurama said sadly.

Hikari gave Naturo to Keiko and pulled her knees to herself, crying.
