Summary

Today's present day May 28, 2004, the last month of beautiful season Spring with extraordinary down pours of rain and blossoming objects. It's said that love is in the air mostly during this season, which is recalled to Mating Season for some species I believe. It's the time to spend moments with loved companions and close friends; to make confessions and state your truthful feelings. Yuusuke has expressed himself to Keiko same as Kuwabara done to Yukina. While the remaining, Kurama, Hiei, Botan, Koenma and Shizuru remains lonely and independent. But there has to be a spark between at least two of these people. Shall thy find love or remain till thee?

This Is My Confession

"Hero/Bring Me To Life"

Chapter Three

Yuusuke, Keiko, Shizuru, Kuwabara, and Yukina sat out in the waiting room of the Ningenkai Regional Hospital. Keiko had fallen asleep in the chair as Yukina sat starring at a corner in the wall; Shizuru sat flipping a page of the magazine as Kuwabara sat staring at the TV as Ningenkai Today (News) was on and Yuusuke stood walking back and forth worriedly. Of course all of them was worried, not only for Makita but Kurama, who seemed to be in the worst situation.

"I'm tired of waiting… I can't just sit here anymore I have to go see what's going on!" Yuusuke said as he walked towards the exit doors of the waiting room and into the main halls of the hospital. The rest of the people who were waiting quickly jotted up and watched from his sudden shouts. Keiko slowly woke up, stubborn about her short napping time for Yuusuke had woken her.

"Iie Yuusuke." a voice came from behind Yuusuke as he felt his wrist being squeezed to death. He turned to see the long haired brunette holding his wrist. "Patience is the key." Shizuru said as he sighed and she let loose of his wrist. The two walked back over to where the others sat. Everybody had took their attention away from what they were occupied by, to Yuusuke.

"Well I can't just stand here and wait." Yuusuke said as he sighed again. "I'm anxious, what if Kurama's gonna die? Don't you all wanna find out?" he asked as he saw the horror on Yukina's face and everybody's faces astonished. "K'so minna!" he shouted, hitting the wall as a dent appeared.

"Yuusuke! Calm down, it's not that serious-"

"Keiko!" Yuusuke's eyes snapped wide, "Ha.. ha ha. You aren't serious!"

"No baka!" she slapped him. "I can't believe you just said that. I DO care for them and I hope the best of them, but you're looking at the negatives!" she shouted as she felt herself whelming up. "I just can't believe what you just said!" she shouted as she pulled her tears back. She stood looking both shocked and offended before running out of the exit doors of the waiting room out of the hospital.

"Yuusuke, you idiot." Shizuru whispered, glaring hard at him as he slapped himself in the face. Kuwabara stood, "Well if you aren't going to go see about Keiko, I will! You're just gonna stand there again?" he asked as he walked quickly towards the door Keiko shot out of. Shizuru and Yukina sat staring at Yuusuke as Yuusuke felt the guilt building up inside of him. He felt tears coming to his eyes, this was just too stressing.

"Aw, poor Yuusuke." Yukina said to Shizuru, frowning as she stood to give Yuusuke a warming hug. As she did he heard her sob onto her shoulder. She put on a weak smile and thought 'Wow, Yuusuke Urameshi actually crying.'

"Big baby." Shizuru muttered as she continued to read the magazine she had been flipping the pages of.

"Keiko-san!" Kuwabara called as he walked down the dark and ghostly streets. "Keiko Yakimura!" he called once more before he decided to quit when he ran across a group of hard-looking thugs standing on the corner. He gave them a shaky nod and walked on. 'Oh c'mon now Keiko.' he thought.

"Kurama!" Hiei suddenly spoke out of the dark as he sat in a Makai tree. "What's this.. Feeling? Kurama must be in serious trouble. I've got to find him." he said as he used his Jagan to sense Kurama's energy. A vision of headlights heading towards Kurama and a little girl appeared as it suddenly turned into clear white, with a beep, scream, and a car slapping on breaks. It then turned into bright white hospital light hanging above as Kurama was spotted lying on a hospital bed motionless.

"Eh!" Hiei gasped as he jolted from the tree branch and onto his feet. "What happened?!" he asked himself aloud as his hands began to shake. "I've got to find out." he said as he ran out in lightning speed towards the Ningenkai portal.

Keiko ran down the streets towards a café to rest at from all the running and crying. She had seemed to draw a huge crowd of men behind her for they were worried about her. She stepped into the café, wiping her eyes quickly as a busty brunette with a waitress dress approached her, greeting her warmly. "Eh, Keiko-chan? What's the matter sweetie?" the brunette asked, as if she knew Keiko.

"I don't even 'want' to talk about it Renee." she said to her friend. Renee was a friend Keiko used to go to Elementary and Junior High with. Renee smirked at her softly, "Yuusuke huh?" she asked, rolling her eyes. Renee also used to date Yuusuke before Keiko did but didn't like his attitude so dumped him back in Elementary.

"Hai, he's a jerk!"

"Well I tried to tell you that before you ever talked to him."

"No Renee, he's a total jerk! Not because of his tough thuggish ways, not because he's super spunky and too pretty to be beat… because he doesn't know how to treat me and that I love him."

"Exactly Keiko. I've told you, he's a tough cookie that you just can't bite into no matter what you do." Renee said, pulling Keiko to a table. "But you Keiko, I believe you can and you will someday. Because you two were made for each other." she said, looking down at the table biting her lip.

Keiko looked from the table and into Renee's deep blue eyes. "Renee? Do you-"

"Hai." she sighed out. "I do still love him." she admitted, looking devastatingly at Keiko. "Gomen nasai Keiko, but he's just one of those… men you can't let go, even if he's a jerk." she sighed and looked down at her glassy French tipped nails, "don't let him be taken away from you Keiko like what happened to me, he's great. He's the one…" she said with tears whelming to her icy blue eyes.

Keiko continued to stare at Renee as she had seem to have a flashback of Yuusuke and herself together at a time. Keiko sadly put a hand onto Renee's tanned hands as a tear slipped down Renee's cheek.

Yukina let loose of Yuusuke, which had been feeling like they were hugging forever. It was a great feeling that warmed Yukina's little heart. She smiled at Yuusuke, "I'm sure she didn't take it so hard. She'll forgive you." Yukina said, continuing her smile as she put a cold hand on Yuusuke's cheek.

"Why can't she just be like you Yukina?" he said, wiping his streaked face. "You're not fussy, you don't take things so serious and you're very caring. You're just like an angel-"

"Yuusuke, she's all that too. Even if she's a little fussy and violent," Yukina paused to giggle softly, "she still loves you." Yukina said, smiling that smile once again. Yuusuke looked down, shoving his hands in his pocket.

"She sure doesn't act like it."

"Are you serious Yuusuke? I see clearly that she's in love with you. She worries about you all the time."

"Yeah and she's talking about you 24/7. Sometimes I have to slap her." Shizuru said, looking up from the magazine with a smirk. "You have been blessed with a great girl Yuusuke. You better keep an eye on her before she's gone." she said, returning her concentration on a magazine as she saw a picture of B2K getting ready to go on tour in Japan. (lol)

Yuusuke sighed as he looked back up to Yukina. Looking over her cute innocent look. 'I better stop looking at her this way before I end up in between a fight with Hiei and Kuwabara.' he thought as his thoughts was interrupted.

"You all waiting for Makita Signori can come see her now." Dr. Enova announced as Yukina, Yuusuke and Shizuru shot up and towards the exit doors of the waiting room.

"Keiko!!" Kuwabara shouted, getting scared. "Keiko I'm gonna pound you when I find you!" he shouted as he spotted her in the window of a café with another lady. "Keik-!" he hurriedly ran towards and into the shop, making everybody look at him. "Oh Keiko there you are." he said walking over towards the two women.

"I was worried about you when I saw them thugs back there. I thought maybe they would've got you and tried to rape you or something." Kuwabara said as Keiko and Renee burst into laughter. "Huh?" he said looking stupid.

"Oh I think Keiko would've dealt with that easily." Renee said standing up. "Konnichiwa, my name is Renee." she greeted, shaking his hand.

"Oh." he said sitting down across from Keiko. Keiko tilted her head as Kuwabara put a hand behind his head nervously, "Uh, hey Renee. My names the Great Kazuma Kuwabara, but you can just call me Mr. Sex-"

"You can just call him Kuwabara-kun." Keiko saved Kuwabara from getting embarrassed by false information. Renee once again giggled and looked at Kuwabara. "He's a great friend of Yuusuke's." Keiko said, nodding dearly at Kuwabara.

"Uh, yeah Urameshi."

"I wish he could be more like you." Keiko said, making Kuwabara's mouth hang open. "Like me? Wow, you really mean it Keiko?" he said, grinning. She nodded and smiled. "Well arigatou but I think I'm gonna get back to the hospital now, you coming?" he asked.

"Yooshi but, minatte." (ok but wait) Keiko said while Kuwabara walked towards the doors of the café. She heard a loud 'Ok' and blushed. She then looked at Renee who was grinning stupidly. "Nani ka?" (what?)

"Keiko, he's great."

"Excuse me?"

"He's a great guy Keiko-chan!" Renee shouted. "Why don't you talk to him?" she said, making Keiko's face twist into a weird look.

"He's.. ugly."

"So?"

"What do you mean so!?"

"That's just mean Keiko. Would you rather date a jerk whose cute and all the girls want or an ugly dream guy that all the girls don't really want for his looks but for his attitude and knows how to respect a lady and care for her."

"You're just making it seem like a good situation." Keiko laughed, "Yuusuke's pretty, but he's not stuck up. And well, Kuwabara's sexy when it comes to his romance and inner beauty, and truly is a great guy but he's found love already with a friend of mine name Yukina."

"Oh shucks, I was gonna talk to him. She's a lucky gal to catch his eye."

"Well actually he liked my other friend name Botan until she mentioned she wasn't interested."

"How stubborn? But the point is," Renee shook her head off subject. "You just admitted yourself that Yuusuke's a great guy. You know you love him so stop playing hard to get." she said as Keiko blushed.

"Keiko!!" Kuwabara's shout for her to hurry were heard. Keiko jumped from her seat and gave Renee a salute as she ran towards the exit doors, "Ja ne Renee-chan."

Kurama could be seen as the blinds in his room waved back and forth from the air. Hiei stared from the outside of the glass doors as he tapped lightly, hoping Kurama would wake up. "C'mon Kitsune." he said aloud. He closed his eyes as he tried to contact Kurama through his inner self, "Kurama."

Kurama's eyes twitched a little but did not have a reaction or response. Hiei cursed as he tried to open the locked door and sighed. "Guess I'll have to take it through the pits of hell doing it the human-way." he said jumping down onto the ground right in front of the hospital entrance.

He walked in and passed the waiting room and roamed down the halls looking in every room for Kurama. "Excuse me sir, who are you looking for?"

"None of your business." Hiei muttered, finally walking into the elevator. The doors reopened as he stepped out onto the 5th floor and looked around. "Hn.." he said as he peeked in every room and finally found one with a curtain separating people from seeing. He walked over and shakily pulled the curtains back, revealing a peacefully sleeping Kurama.

"Kitsune.. He's breathing. Thank Makai." he said as he took a seat next to Kurama's bed and stared over him.

"Botan!" Yukina called as she saw Botan sitting out in the hall way next to Makita's room. Botan stood quickly as the smaller aqua-blue-haired girl hugged her. "Is she ok?" she asked as Shizuru and Yuusuke caught up. Without waiting, Yuusuke walked into the room to see Makita sitting up looking at TV.

"Yuusuke." she said smiling at the older boy. He smiled weakly and sat on the beside her. "How's you feeling?" he asked, not really interested.

"Great. Thanks to what's his name, with the red-hair-"

"Kurama." Yuusuke finished her sentence.

"Oh Makita-chan, we were worried about you. Are you feeling ok?" Yukina came and sat on the opposite side of Yuusuke, feeling on Makita's cheek with her cold hands. Shizuru and Botan stood at the foot of the bed.

"I'm ok, thanks to Kurama-kun." she repeated herself.

"Yes, oh if Kurama-kun wasn't there…" Botan said thanking god.

Keiko and Kuwabara ran inside a little later, panting. "Makita's alive!" Kuwabara shouted, making everybody sweat drop and laugh. Keiko sighed in relief and put a hand over her chest, thanking kami. Yuusuke looked up and directly to Keiko, who looked directly at him and away.

"Kurama's a hero." Yukina said in a dreamy way as Kuwabara got jealous and parted his mouth.

"Well I could've saved her myself!" he shouted.

"Of course you could've Kuwabara-kun." Yukina said as she smiled and hugged Kuwabara tightly, planting a kiss on his cheek. Shizuru rolled her eyes at her brother acting jealous.

"Keiko we need to talk." Yuusuke announced as the two walked out of the room. Botan looked at the others confused as they explained what had happened.

30 minutes Later…

"So Botan, what about Kurama? Is he ok?" Shizuru said, flipping the channels of the TV as Botan sat beside Yukina and Makita chatting about Makita's family.

"Oh yes! Kurama-kun. I forgot all about him." Botan said as she shot up from the bed, "Makita, wait for the nice nurses to come back and tell you rather or not you should leave yet, yooshi?" the young white-haired girl nodded.

Kuwabara, Shizuru and Yukina soon rose off the bed as Botan hurriedly ran down the hall, losing Kuwabara, Yukina and Shizuru. She knocked softly on the door as she heard a crash and a door being closed. Botan burst into the door and saw Hiei jump off the balcony. She looked to see a vase broke, probably being knocked over by Hiei. She then looked over to the redhead, who was still in a coma.

She walked over slowly, looking over her dear friend. She sat on the left side of his bed as she looked over his face which seemed to be glowing a little. She couldn't resist putting a icy cold hand on his cheek. She smiled as she saw his red eyebrow slightly move.

"Oh Kurama-kun.. Gomen nasai." she shrieked out in a gasping voice. "Arigatou!" she shouted, crying as she hugged him around his neck, not getting a response. She continued to lie onto his shoulder crying as the door open and in ran Kuwabara, Yukina and Shizuru.

"Botan?" they both said as they ran over beside her and put a hand on her back. Botan turned around with a tear streaked face and red eyes. Yukina pulled her into one of her comforting hugs, "Oh Botan." she whispered.

Shizuru looked to see Kurama breathing and thanked kami. "But why are you crying Botan?" she asked as Botan wiped her eyes and pulled away from Yukina.

"I'm just so lucky."

"Lucky of what?" Yukina asked as both girls stood waiting for Botan's reply. Botan turned and looked at Kurama.

"I'm just so lucky that I know Kurama…"
