Chapter 4:
A Life Dept Made, And A Friendship Started
In bed rested the tiered Yusuke. He was awoken by the sound of the shower. He tried to go back to sleep, but a woman's voice began to be heard. A song was sung and Yusuke didn't like it. "SHUT-UP!" He yelled. The shower stopped. As Yusuke placed his head back onto his pillow, Ruto came out with nothing on but a towel. "Sir Yusuke, what is it?" Yusuke opened his eyes widely and looked Ruto up and down then said, "What are you doing in my shower?" Ruto sighed and rolled her eyes. "I made a life dept to you. Where ever you go, I go."
Ruto began cooking a large breakfast, and Yusuke sat at the kitchen table. "Ruto." He began, "I didn't remember agreeing to this whole life dept thing." "But you did, last night. And a life dept is a life dept." Ruto served Yusuke his plate. He stared at it in delight and said to himself, "Maybe I could get use to this…"
It was afternoon and Yusuke was walking over to Kayko's. Behind him walked a forever watchful Ruto. As they approached her house, Yusuke turned around to Ruto. "Stay here. And don't do anything stupid!" "If anyone would do anything stupid, it would be you." "Whatever. Now, stay here!" Yusuke ran up to Kayko's door and knocked. Kayko answered with a smile. "Yusuke!" "Hey Kayko." Kayko stepped out and shut the door behind her. "For once you didn't forget about me." "Come on Kayko, I never forget about you." Together the two laughed, but then Kayko noticed something. "Hey, who's that?" Yusuke turned around to find Ruto hanging upside down from Kayko's roof. "That's Ruto. Excuse me." Yusuke ran over to Ruto. "What are you doing here?" Ruto didn't say anything, she just looked at Kayko then Yusuke. She smiled then jumped away.
It was a fun day at the part for Yusuke and Kayko. They enjoyed themselves a lot. But always watching was Ruto, that is until Kuwabara caught her off surprise. "Hey Ruto. That's your name right, Ruto?" Instead of answering him back she simply turned her back on him, and placed her attention back on Yusuke and Kayko. "What gives? You've been watching them like a hawk." "I've made a life dept, and part of that dept is to protect him." "Well who's protecting you?" Kuwabara placed his hand on her shoulder. In great rage, Ruto kicked him directly in the nuts, dropping him to his knees. "Never touch me again, or you will experience the same pain." Ruto quietly whispered, then jumped away into the trees. "Strange girl she is." Kurama said to Hiei. In reply Hiei said a little "Hn!" Kurama and Hiei observed more of Ruto's actions. "So why did you spare her?" "Spare her? Please Kurama, I had to. Remember what Koenma said." "But you didn't even know of the mission until now." Hiei stood in silence.
Ruto's attention drew off Yusuke and Kayko and came upon Kurama and Hiei. She stared at them, and they stared back. Kurama waved his hand, and Ruto approached them "Kurama, why did you have to do that?" Hiei said very quickly. "Oh come on Hiei, she's not so bad." Just as Ruto came up to them, Hiei vanished. "Hello Kurama." "Hello." Ruto looked around until she noticed Hiei's foot in the tree they stood under. "Ruto? Ruto are you alright?" Ruto began to walk off, ignoring Kurama completely. "I wonder what's wrong with her."
It was late, and Yusuke was sitting in front of the television. Ruto entered the room and sat next to him. "Hey." Yusuke said. Ruto just nodded her head. "Listen, it's nice and all for you to be here, but I can't take this. I don't have enofe room if you know what I mean." "I know exactly what you mean. But I can't leave." "I know, I know! The whole life dept thing. There has to be something that we can work out." As Yusuke continued to speak, Ruto didn't pay attention. Her attention was at the television, which had a small child playing with his mother. "Mother…." She quietly whispered. "What? What did you say? See, I can't stand this part of you." Yusuke got up from the couch and headed for the bedroom. Ruto still stared at the television.
The next day Yusuke was over at Genkai's temple, asking her of a favor. "So, you want me to take in this girl?" "Yep, that's all." Genkai looked at Ruto. "Hm. Okay." Yusuke shook Genkai's hand, and grew a large smile on his face. "Thank you Genkai, thank you!" Then he ran out the door. "So girlie, what's your name?" "Ruto." "Well, while you're here there are three simple rules. One, you must clean up around here. Two, no guests or unexpected surprises. And three, don't talk to me. Got it? Good. Now, if you don't mind I have a class to teach."
As Genkai left the room, Ruto looked out the window. She saw the cherry blossom trees and her eyes began to release tears. She pulled an amulet from between her breast and began to touch it. "Why can't I remember?"
