Chapter 4

Yusuke was inside his house, just laying around. He heard a tap at his bedroom window, then opened it and looked outside.

"Yusuke," Hiei popped up in Yusuke's face.

"Gah! Don't do that, Hiei!" Yusuke yelled as he jumped back.

"I need help, Yusuke," Hiei said, casting his face down to look at his black shoes.

"You're coming to me for help?" Yusuke asked, "Intentionally?"

"Don't make this any harder than it needs to be, detective. Don't make me result to killing you."

"Fine, fine, okay. So, what's up, Hiei?" he asked.

"I feel kind of empty inside. Like something's missing, you know?" Hiei inquired contently.

"It's because of Kurama, isn't it?"

"I don't really think you can give me the answer I need."

Yusuke waited until Hiei was about to climb out the window when an idea popped into his head. "I know! I'll call Keiko! She always knows how to deal with emotional problems!"

Hiei muttered, "I don't have an emotional problem."

"Problem, breakdown. Same thing."

Hiei looked up. "You think she can help?"

"I don't just think. I know."

Keiko was over awile later, and Hiei started discussing his emptiness in an "anonymous" sort of way. "Let's say there's a special person in my life and it's really killing me inside because I didn't do anything about it?"

Keiko paused for a moment, then answered, "Well, the best thing for you to do is to forget what you DIDN'T do, by doing something NOW. You should just tell her that you love her and then prove your love." She smiled.

Hiei looked up, blushed a little, kissed Keiko lightly on her forehead, and left.

Keiko's face turned bright red, and she looked down at her feet. "That went well."

Yusuke stared at Keiko blankly and then pointed at her. "You DO know he was talking about a guy?"

She looked a little surprised. "Him?" Keiko asked.

Yusuke nodded.

"Oh my. . ."

~Meanwhile~

Hiei was running as fast as light. I knew he was running to me.

"I'm coming, Kurama," he thought.

So, how was that chapter? A little shorter than the other's, I know, but I had to find the best point to lead the story off.

Stay tuned for Chapter 5!
