It Rains and it Pours

Chapter 2- By the Apple Tree: Sunshine and Daisies

Yusuke, leaning against the tree, could stand no longer just to look at Keiko. He slowly walked to her, grabbed her hand, and brought her over to the shaded area behind the apple tree.

"Yusuke." She whispered looking into his eyes.

Yusuke tilted his head at the same time she did and they kissed. It had been only the second time they had ever kissed. The first time they had done it since Yusuke's big life ordeal when Keiko had to kiss him for him to become alive again. Yusuke hadn't even been fully conscious then and only caught the gist of it when his soul finally fused with his body.

Yusuke held Keiko around the waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They held each other tightly. While embraced, Keiko could feel nothing but Yusuke's warmth. She couldn't feel the cool breeze or even hear the robins playing in the trees they were standing under. Yusuke was all that mattered.

Keiko pulled herself away Yusuke for a brief second. She wanted to show him something. It had been her favorite place in the world to rest and relax, and now she wanted to share it with him. She led him farther down the hills into her backyard. He had never been there before. These hills were not seeable from the house.

Yusuke was blinded. There were rows upon rows of yellow daisies. Each fluttering in the wind. It was a cascade of the most beautiful thing Yusuke had ever seen. Other than Keiko or course. Keiko found a small open patch and led Yusuke there. Yusuke lay down on his back and looked up at the clouds. Keiko did the same. They looked different and each had its own unique shape. Yusuke reached over and held Keiko's hand. It was warm. Just like her spirit. That was the thing he liked most about Keiko. No matter how "down in the dumps" he was, she always had the cure to make him feel better.

Keiko felt Yusuke grasp her hand and she looked at him. His eyes seemed soft and they had a pastel-like color to them. He wasn't his usual self. She liked him this way, but knew it wouldn't last forever. Soon he would get a new mission from Koenma and he would have to leave again.
