Disclaimer: we have tried to own YYH, but failed miserably. so it's not ours.
Yusuke"Yusuke, I have a new mission for you that will require your full attention for the next year." stated Koenma flatly.
"A YEAR?!" screamed Yusuke as he grabbed the teen demi-god by the collar. "I CAN'T JUST PICK UP AND LEAVE KEIKO FOR A YEAR! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? LEAVE HER WHEN SHE'S ONLY THREE MONTHS AWAY FROM GIVING BIRTH?!"
"Yusuke, calm down." Koenma tried to free himself trim the angry youki. "I had no choice. You are the only candidate for the job."
"Not anymore!" Yusuke shoved Koenma away. "You'd better find another 'candidate', pacifier breath, 'cause I quit!'
"You can't quit." said Koenma as he fixed his shirt. "If you don't take this assignment, I can have you killed."
Yusuke glanced at Koenma.
"It's your choice, Yusuke. You can go on this mission, keep your life, and see Keiko and your child in a year, or you can reject, die, and never see them again."
Yusuke glared at Koenma and stormed out of the room.
'How am I going to explain this to Keiko' worried Yusuke as he approached the front door of his house. 'The last time I was gone for even remotely that long was when I was in Makai five years ago.' Yusuke opened the door and was greeted by the sound of food sizzling in a frying pan and the smell of Keiko's cooking.
Yusuke slowly walked into the kitchen. Keiko's back was turned to him. He sat down at the table and set his head in his hands.
"So how long is the mission this time?" asked Keiko with her back still turned to him.
Yusuke sighed. "Keiko, please understand that I had no choice. I had to accept this mission."
Keiko stiffened and turned to face him, hands on her hips. "How long to you have to leave for, Yusuke?"
Yusuke looked into Keiko's angry eyes. A small kick from her bulging stomach caused a pain in his heart. "Koenma's sending me away for a year."
Keiko's
expression was as cold as stone. "A year?" She sub-consciously placed a hand on
her stomach, as if to protect her unborn child as she began to fume. "Why did
you have to take this assignment?"
"Koenma could have me killed
if I didn't take this mission."
Keiko began to redden. "How am I supposed to raise a child by myself for nine months? How am I supposed to go through another three months of pregnancy by myself?"
"Keiko. I had no choice!" pleaded Yusuke.
"And what choice to I have?" yelled Keiko.
Yusuke's sorrowful eyes pleaded with her angry ones. "Keiko, please."
Keiko reached to her left hand and pulled off the diamond ring that adorned her third finger. She threw is onto the table, where is landed near where Yusuke's hands were set on the table.
Yusuke's trembling hands picked up the ring as tears filled his eyes. "Keiko." he pleaded.
Keiko turned her back to him and continued cooking. "I don't know a Yusuke Urameshi."
A tear fell down Yusuke's cheeks as he slowly pushed the chair back and sorrowfully walked to the front door.
Yusuke walked aimlessly down the street, holding the ring in his pocket. 'Why can't she understand that I had no choice?'
Yusuke looked around, finding that his feet had led him to the portal to Reikai. He held Keiko's ring in his pocked as he stared at the doorknob.
'Keiko's rejected me, so I might as well take the damn mission.'
Yusuke reached for the doorknob and turned the handle. As he walked through the door, the engagement ring fell to the ground with a clatter.
Reign: Koenma was a real dick in this...and Keiko was a real bitch.
Kinaka Capri: o well. it makes for good angst
Yusuke: at least im not dead like Hiei.
Reign: welp...that's all for now
Kinaka Capri: ciaoness!
