After about 45 minutes, Yukina and Hiei joined the rest of us when
Botan said she thought it was about time we went to bed so we would be
ready to go the next day.
After about two hours of trying to fall asleep I got out of bed and walked outside to the cliff where the tree-house was only to find Kurama already there. "Couldn't sleep?" he said as if he was expecting me. "Yeah," I replied. "It's just so strange that Yukina knows my secret now. I mean, what if something happens to her while I'm away. It just seems so different now that if something happens to her. we've just come a little more closer together now." I said, happy to get it all off my chest. "She has the right to know and you shouldn't take that away from her. She has someone to look up to for comfort." Kurama said as if he had planned the whole conversation. "Yeah, I guess you're right." I said agreeing with him. "I'll see you in the morning," I said. "Hey Hiei," Kurama said. "Get a good nights rest, we're going to be busy in the morning." "Okay," I said as I walked back to the house and finally got some sleep.
Early the next morning, we had about an hour before we had to leave and during part of the time, Botan, Hiei, Kuwabara, Kurama, and I talked about the mission that was ahead of us. "So, did the girls get any information out of you yesterday Botan?" I asked teasingly. "Actually, they did. They tortured me so bad I ended up havingto tell them the real mission" She said as she shrugged her shoulders. "We know, Yusuke and I saw the whole thing. Rather pathetic if you ask me how they chased you all around the back yard." Kuwabara said knowing he had a death wish. "Kuwabara, It was probably the best you could ever hope to do in your life time so I suggest you can it!" she said fighting back. After a couple minutes Botan said the three words no one wanted to hear. "Time to go! You guys have ten minutes before we leave." She said to us before she went out the door.
Keiko walked up to me barely holding back the tears. "Be careful Yusuke, I don't want to lose you again, I couldn't take it and neither could your mother." She said softly as she started to cry. "Don't worry, I don't plan on being diced up just yet," I said as I lifted up her chin to look into her eyes. I saw the fear in her eyes of losing me again and I didn't plan on leaving her so soon. For a brief moment her lips touched mine as we shared a soft kiss before she just collapsed in my arms and crushed me in a hug. Over in the door way Hiei and Yukina shared a hug before Hiei went out the door and Kuwabara walked over and gave each other a hug and before he left gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek before leaving the room. When Keiko finally allowed me to breath I said to her "Don't worry about me, I'll come back, I promise." I gave her a small kiss on the cheek before I left the room wondering if I would actually be able to keep that promise.
Little did we know that far away in the demon world, we were being watched by the enemy. Karma.
"So, we're going to have some guests soon are we." "We're going to have to work hard if we want to welcome them properly, wouldn't you agree Drog?" "Yes, Master, if you bid so I shall alert the guards right away to the coming of our guests. It has been a while since we have had visitors in the castle. Then again most of them have never been able to make it through The Forest of Darkness before entering the castle." Drog said with eagerness. "Go, make sure the preparations are ready for when the guests arrive." Karma ordered. "Yes master," he said before flying of into the dark. "Garbo!" he exclaimed. "Yes master?" he said as he stepped out of the corner. "I need some advice, what do you think the guests would do if something unfortunate was to happen to their girls while they were away?" Karma said slyly. "I think that would be a great idea." Garbo said agreeing "Good, as soon as they leave I want you to take some monsters with you and bring them back here so that they get to see that we have them before coming back to the castle. Understood?" "Yes master," Garbo said before flying off to gather some monsters.
