After Keiko and Hiei broke away from their kiss, she got ready for bed, changing into a huge t shirt with shorts on. They both clambered up to Keiko's bed and arms wrapped around each other, fell asleep. Keiko was so tired from her brief encounter with Sukura and having a fight with Yuske. She fell asleep, with Hiei in her arms and her head on his chest, Keiko went into a dreamless sleep. The night air coming through the window, with the full moon hanging from the starry sky. Never knowing a pair of black eyes, watching her.

*~*Yusuke's House*~*

A few moments after he decided to see her the next morning, Botan, Kurama, and Kuwabara came in with anger and guilt mingled together.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Yusuke asked, putting his hands on his head and leading the group to his room.

"We want to talk to you about Keiko." Botan said in an unusual angry voice. "And why you've been treating her like crap." Kuwabara added, sitting down on the floor.

"Hey! What are you all ganging up on me for?!" Yusuke said defensively, collapsing down on his bed.

"What we heard today, was Keiko's feelings of betrayal and anger towards you. Towards all of us." Kurama said in his quiet voice. "We never really knew a lot about Keiko, except that you guys were very close." He said once more in a quiet voice. "But that still doesn't give us the right to blame it all on Yusuke." Kurama continued, settling him down on a chair. "That's right, even though it's mostly Yusuke's fault." Kuwabara said in his deep voice. "No. It's all our faults. Botan, you were her friend too, and yet you never even chose to talk to her, but stayed close by Yusuke. You, Kuwabara, you knew Keiko even though not as well as others, but still knew her, as me. We never had the slightest thought of her since they broke up. Yusuke, you know what you did wrong even from Keiko shouting that out at you."

Yusuke looked up and saw every one's face with guilt written on it. "Listen, it was my fault, I know what I did wrong. I'm sorry." He said, surprised at himself, for apologizing for he rarely ever said them.

"Once again, it was our fault, all of ours." Kurama said again, looking down to prevent them seeing tears forming.

"Yes, it was. I've seen Keiko a million times at school, but I never even had the decency to say 'Hello.'" Botan said her voice cracking.

"Neither have I, I mean, I've seen her a few times at school too or at a store or something, but I never said anything." Kuwabara murmured, his shoulders slumping in defeat.

"We've all done wrong. In a way... if we were choosing side, we kind of picked Yusuke. We stuck by him when he broke up with Keiko and never considered her." Kurama said.

Silence entered the room and nobody spoke, but the crickets chirping outside to the warm autumn day. Till, "Hey, I just realized, how come shorties not here?" Kuwabara interrupted.

"He probably feels he did nothing wrong, or he hardly even knew Keiko." Botan answered in a quiet voice.

"But what was up with him and Keiko today? How he was next to her when she fell down and in away... defending her." Yusuke said in a half jealous, half confused voice.

"I don't know.. but now that you mention it, where has Hiei been?" Botan asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him for quite awhile, maybe he was in Makia." Kurama said thoughtfully. "Another thing I don't understand is why Koenma or you ever got the fact that a demon, meaning Keiko, was living in the ningen world."

"Oh... hehehe... well... er..er. Koenma was on vacation with his oni.. And er. he's just came back tonight. I asked him to see if there was any demon here. He's checking now." Botan mumbled, her face growing red.

"Well. that. er. explains it." Kurama said, trying to hide his chuckle from Botan blushing furiously but failed miserably.

"Well, if you guys wanna sleep over, you're welcome too. I'm gonna go over to Keiko's place tomorrow morning." Yusuke said yawning and settling down on his bed.

"Why don't we all go?" Kurama asked as he got some blankets from the closet for all of them.

"NO! I want to see Keiko by myself first, then you guys can apologize." Yusuke said quickly jumping up.

Kurama, obeying his wish, he settled himself on the ground, over the blankets that were spread over the floor. They soon all fell asleep and for the first time in weeks Yusuke only had one thing on his mind, Keiko.

*~*In The Morning At Keiko's*~*

Keiko awoke from her slumber and got up, regretfully pulling away from his embrace. She walked p to her window and saw the morning sun, blazing at her eyes, and the clear blue sky. Birds chirped happily, and the few clouds were scattered aimlessly over Tokyo.

She looked down on Hiei and a small smile formed on her lips. 'What would I do without him?' she wondered thoughtfully. She turned back around to the window and saw her parent's car had gone off to work. Sadness washed over her and the emotions that she carefully bottled up had resurfaced once again like yesterday.

Keiko sighed and tried to stop tears forming in her eyes again. 'My life was so perfect before. What happened? Why can't it go back now. But I have Hiei. I never noticed him before, but now he's like.. like my soul mate. I think I may be going a little over the line, my soul mate? But yes, I do feel a very special bond between us. Maybe.. maybe.. all those things that have happened, maybe they happened for a reason. The fact that Yusuke and I broke up, me getting kidnapped, meeting Hiei. But that still doesn't help me forget about all the pain I went through. No it doesn't.' Keiko thought wistfully. Suddenly strong arms grabbed her by the waist and a warm mouth covered her open one with a gentle but passionate kiss.

"I thought you were asleep?"

"I was, till I heard you're loud thoughts," he said, pointing at his jagan.

"Oh, sorry." Keiko said smiling a little.

"Don't worry about it," Hiei said hugging her more tightly to himself.

Keiko leaned back and heard his heart beat that went in to a slow rhythm. Hiei looked into her eyes and saw sadness in them that had been in there for awhile. He hated seeing her so upset and depressed, which always made him feel upset. Sighing, Keiko rested her head on his shoulder and kissed his chin a little, before lifting her mouth up to his. They kissed awhile till Hiei pulled her down on the bed him on top of her. He pulled away and burred his head in her long hair, smelling the sweet scent that filled his senses.

The door swung open in Keiko's room and in came Yusuke, his mouth wide open, surprised at witnessing the scene.

"Yusuke!" Keiko pulled Hiei off her and looked at Yusuke with surprise, her face blushing like mad.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" Yusuke yelled.
