Chapter 6

Hey! Thank you for reviewing! You don't know how happy you've made me! I'm glad you like my story…my friends really doesn't enjoy it, she says Hiei/Keiko stories are…um how did she put it…weird and so worthless, or something like that.

But I'm glad you enjoy it! THANKS!

Disclaimer: I will never ever own Yu Yu Hakusho…

Yusuke and the gang kept running full speed hoping to catch up with the 'traitors' soon.

"I lost their spirit energy!" Kuwabara stated, stopping.

"Already, how could you!?" Yusuke shouted.

"Yusuke don't get mad at him, it's easy to cover up spirit energy, they're not stupid…" Kurama said calmly.

"Lets just go find the medallion we'll deal with them later…" Botan said, looking at the map.

"Lets get some rest first running at full speed like that put me out…" Kuwabara said, sitting down.

"He's right, we should rest, they couldn't have gotten that far…" Kurama spoke, leaning on the tree.

"He's right Yusuke…calm down and rest…" Botan spoke, placing a hand on his shoulder.

He shrugged it off and sat away from the rest.

"I think he's still pissed because he found out Keiko was…you know a thief…" Kuwabara said.

"Who knew Keiko could be capable of such a thing…" Botan whispered.

"Botan you misunderstood…the medallion does truly belong to them…and she will not use it for destruction, she is going to help Hiei's sister with a sickness…and if I'm not mistaken her friends and her get weaker by the day without it…" Kurama explained.

"So in other words, Koenma and the people up there are like the thieves, because they stole it from the elements sorceress's…?" Kuwabara asked.

"And if they don't get it back Botan, we'll not only be known as thieves but as murderers…" Kurama finished.

"But that can't be true, they've lived so far…"  Botan said.

"Yes but it's only be a few years…if you've noticed Keiko is a human…which she was not years ago…she has gone to the weakest stage…her friends are helping her transferring some powers to her…" Kurama stated.

"I didn't know…" Botan said.

"Exactly you didn't know now you've caused this…" Kuwabara mumbled.

"Now Kuwabara don't blame her, for anyone would have mistaken the same thing…"

"Yeah your right…"

"Now who tells Yusuke this?" Botan asked.

"I heard…" Yusuke said getting up.

"But she was still a thief before this, they've stolen many other things…they need to be punished."

"But Yusuke…give them a break…" Kuwabara said.

"But he's right, he's a spirit detective and he needs to be done what's right…" Botan whispered.

"I'm sorry to say this, but they're both right Kuwabara…they need to be punished." Kurama mumbled.

"We lost them, I can feel it!" Mariah said, stopping.

"Thank god…" Tracey said, taking a seat on the ground.

Hiei placed Keiko down as he too took a seat.

"I need to be alone…" Keiko said walking away.

"Where is she going…?" Hiei asked.

"To a near by river…I can hear the running water…" Tracey said.

"Hey you…meanie!" Mariah called.

"You better not be talking to me…" Hiei mumbled.

"Go, go comfort her, for only you can…" Mariah said, pushing the demon towards the path Keiko went.

"What why me…you know her more…" Hiei stated.

"I wouldn't say that…now go, you know you want her…" Mariah said giggling.

"Stop torturing the guy…!" Tracey laughed.

"Fine I will…" Mariah said defeated.

"You know what…I think I will go…" Hiei whispered walking off.

"I knew he liked her…" Mariah said smiling.

"Look at miss cupid…get your ass over here and help me start the fire…" Tracey shouted.

"You think they make a good couple…?" Mariah asked.

"Don't get your hopes up, Mariah…" Tracey said, picking at the fire.

"I'll take that as a yes…" Mariah said smiling.

"Keiko?" Hiei called spotting her. There she sat along the river, her knees to her chest as tears stained her face. Her hair blew in the wind covering part of her face.

"I smell tears…she looks so beautiful…" Hiei whispered to himself.

He quickly shook his head, 'I can't fall for a human…but then again she's no ordinary human' He thought.

"Hiei I know your there…" Keiko whispered.

"So you have a sharp sense that's useful…" He said sitting down next to her.

"Hiei why, why did he have to find out, why did I have to be a thief, why?" She asked.

"Keiko that's your destiny…" He whispered.

"Well, my destiny sucks…" She said smiling, while looking at his reflection in the water.

"It doesn't Keiko, you have great friends…and family…"

"But no love…it's gone…" She cried.

"There are many other men out there that you can look for, you weren't going to spend your life with only Yusuke?"

"I thought that…I guess I was wrong…" She said leaning on his shoulder.

"So you mind" She asked.

"No of course not…" He said placing his arm around her shoulders.

"Why couldn't I be with you instead, you wouldn't have left me, would you…would you have said those awful words…?" Keiko asked.

"Where did that come from?" Hiei asked.

"Just please answer me…"

He could feel the tears on his cloak and her whimper from her pain.

"No I wouldn't have, I don't know why he would leave someone like you…" Hiei whispered.

Keiko looked up at him, his eyes looked so sincere…could he be lying.

"Don't toy with me…" She whispered.

"I'm not…" He said, wiping the tear that was trailing down her cheek.

"Your not…how can I believe you…?" She asked.

"You need proof…?" He asked, kissing her fully on the lips.

"Oh that is so sweet!" Mariah cried from the bushes.

"Mariah what are you doing spying!?" A shout could be heard from behind her.

Mariah quickly fell forward obvious to everyone around her including the two love birds.

"Mariah?" Keiko asked. "What do you want!?" Hiei asked angrily.

"OH….um I lost my contact…I can't find it anywhere…" Mariah said feeling around on the ground.

"Liar!" Hiei said, getting up, only to be stopped by Keiko.

"Don't bother with her…please sit back down…"

Hiei looked down at her and couldn't resist, he sat back down letting her lean on him again.

"Mariah get over here!" Tracey said getting her by the collar.

"Hey wait!" Mariah said being dragged away.

"Now that they're gone…can we continue…" Keiko asked.

"I don't know…" Hiei said.

"Oh come on don't be that way…"

"Only cause you want to…" He said smiling.

"I love your smile…and thank you so much…" She said crying.

"Shhh, no crying…" He said hugging her.

They soon fell asleep in each other's arms.

Mariah and Tracey had taking a nap, till Mariah woke up fully.

"There here!" She yelled taking her sword out.

And there popped up Yusuke and the others ready for a fight.

Hope you liked it! Review!
