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?

Six-A Breaking The Habit

"Well," Yuusuke sighed as he stood in front of Keiko & his house. "Here's the deal kiddo. You're going in so stay tight. Get my clothes and things and bring them to me." he said as Makita's jaw dropped.

"No way!" she shrieked. "Besides I don't know what your belongings are."

He once again sighed, "What if I uh-" he pulled out a ten dollar bill as Makita's eyes lit up. "-gave you this huh?" he said shaking it in her face as her hand slowly reached for it but soon as she touched it the door flung open.

"And what do we have here?" Keiko said, standing with her arms folded over her chest. Her foot, which was waitress pumps was tapping to the ground. "I suggest you be a man and come in for yourself." she said rolling her eyes as Yuusuke put his money back into his pocket and walked up to Keiko.

"Look," he said pointing a finger in her face. "I'm coming to get my things in peace…-" he said calmly before screaming in her face, "-and then I'm outta here!!" Keiko literally had to back away fore his screaming was so intensive you could feel his breath blow your hair like a hair dryer.

"Go head! Get all your junky little things which is not much because I paid for most of it!" she shouted, shoving him into the house. She growled and stomped towards the kitchen, her waitress gown swinging back and forth. She turned sharply on her heel as she picked up her raincoat and purse. She headed towards the door and slammed it behind. Suppose she was going to work.

"Stupid women." Yuusuke mumbled as he stood in the middle of his junky room. "Now where to start?" he asked himself as Makita entered the room. "Here." she said as she picked up a pile of clothes in front of the door. "Yeah." he said taking them and putting them into a big trash bag. "I guess I'll just go shopping again."

"Ooh wow, what's this picture of?" Makita said looking at a picture on the nightstand of him and Keiko in casual attire as if they were going to prom. Yuusuke came over and smiled weakly before Makita turned around. He suddenly glared and took the picture frame and threw it against the wall. Makita screamed as the glass shattered and she walked away from the splatter of glass.

"She makes me sick!" he said, turning to look at something else fragile. He picked up a flower vase and threw it at the opposite wall, leaving dirt and cracks into the wall as the vase exploded pouring tons of soil and dirt on the floor. Makita once again scream and ran out the room, closing the door as her little heart pounded fast.

From outside she could hear the paste of Yuusuke's crashing of his and Keiko's belongings begin to increase speed as it began to sound like a tornado was on the other side of the wall. Makita began to get paranoid as she ran to the phone and picked it up, trying to remember her own phone number. Makita dialed the number only to get a disconnected signal…

"Well, that's all of it. Just leave the junk here to be played with." she said as she finally unplugged the useful phone. "I guess I'll just get it installed into your room so I won't keep your phone tied up." she said as Kurama looked dully at her. "Of course you can always use my phone. It's not like you stay on it 24/7." he said as Botan turned around with a blushing face. "Is it?" she nodded. "But nothing personal."

The two grabbed the last of the suitcases and possessions of Makita's room and carried it out the door and across the hall. As Botan walked behind Kurama not paying attention to where she was going, Kurama opened the door and stepped in. Botan ran into the wall beside the door as a big boom was heard from inside. Kurama stifled a chuckle as he peaked out the door to see Botan on the ground with the cases.

"You didn't see that." she said embarrassed as she stood and picked the suit cases up. "No, I didn't." he said as he grabbed the suit cases and placed them inside the door. He then came back out and closed the door. "All this working has worked me up an appetite." he looked at his watch. "Would you like to go for a little snack now and dinner later?" he asked politely as Botan smiled.

"Kurama you're being too nice. I literally cursed you out back there and by punishing myself, I'll just stay at home tonight while maybe you could take Makita out." she said, making Kurama's eyebrows cock up.

'She's punishing herself. I've.. Yet to see somebody do that with such carelessness. What have they made her into?' Kurama asked his inner-self.

"Kurama?"

"Oh, daijoubu. If that's what makes you happy." he said with a simple shoulder shrug. Botan looked to the ground and noticed a small bag Ziploc bag on the ground with nothing in it. She then picked it up to see that it was full of powdery brownish sand. Her lips quivered as she slowly looked to Kurama.

"Botan, please tell me you don't…" Kurama begged with a choking sob in his voice of apprehension.

"I don't…" she pupils contracted.

An elder lady was sitting, drinking a cup of Green Tea as the doors opened, revealing 4 figures. The four figures slowly approached her sitting circle as they sat on the pillows in a circle bowing to elderly lady as she bowed back with a small unnoticeable smile. "Good evening."

"Konnichiwa senpai!" the twins Andre and Kagome shrieked. The old lady flicked at hand at the two with a blushing face.

"Glad to be back, what was there you needed to tell us dear Genkai?" Yukina's small voice ran into Genkai's old ears and took her a second before noticing what she said. She laid a newspaper down in front of them pointing at a picture of a body in a black bag. She then pointed to the picture beside it that was labeled Ayame Signori in Japanese.

"Mind explaining to me why this concerns some of you?" she asked, not remembering who Ayame was. "This is not the ferry girl of Koenma's is there?"

"No, it's the mother of Botan's guarded one. Botan was accompanying Makita because she has no other relatives alive or known at the time. So she has to watch Makita until further noticed." Kuwabara simply explained as Yukina put a hand on his thigh.

"Isn't there a mother or father of Ayame's or whoever the father was?" she asked innocently as if she didn't quite get what he had just said.

"They've both passed on. I'm guessing this Ayame did not have any brothers nor sisters. What an interesting story." Genkai said with another sip of her hot tea. She sat in thought as silence crept over the group. The twins had began to lay down for they was tired and ready for a nap. Genkai cleared her throat as Yukina noticed the twins fast asleep.

"Oh, I'll put them in the guest rooms. Do you mind if we stay for the night Genkai?" she asked sweetly. Who could say no to Yukina, specially if she's not asking for much. Fore Genkai did have a much rather huge temple.

"Sure, why not accompany your old lady?" she said with a sly smirk, her wrinkles being more noticed. Genkai was getting old, very old. More wrinkles had formed, you could no longer see her real hair color fore they had turned pure grayish-silver. Her body was slumping over, making her shorter little by little and her ears and legs had gone a little weak of ability. She still could kick an intruder's ass though.

Kuwabara smiled as his family walked out of the room. He then turned to see Genkai smirking evilly at him, making him shiver. "Hey old lady don't do that!" he said, "That gives me the creeps." he said as Genkai gave a small giggle fore her voice was thinning. She coughed two or three times after.

"You're ok?"

"Hai you dimwit." she said and smiled again. "Don't worry 'bout old lady, I've still got a couple of years to see before I die." she said coldly without a care. Kuwabara's mouth gapped in disbelief of Genkai's cold careless character. "You're so hard on yourself."

"You know it's true."

"Well, hai.. I was thinking more of a couple months." he said scratching the back of his head. Genkai glared and said, "Ya think?" making him hold up hands in defense. "You never know, I could be gone by the morning." she said, still smiling.

"Don't say that." he said, making the room quiet for about a minute or so.

"You know," Genkai said making Kuwabara look up from the floor, "You twerps have grown to be fine, strong men. I'm glad to see you've formed quite a family." she said as Kuwabara smiled. "But I'm mad at that you've chosen virgin Yukina and the fact that you're only 22." she said with a head shake.

Just then Yukina rushed in. "Kazuma do you mind if we go visit Yuusuke and Keiko, I've been wondering about them." she said with a concerned facial expression. Mentioning Yuusuke's name reminded Kuwabara of their argument.

"Speaking of Yuusuke.. He and Keiko just had an argument and now he got kicked outta the house." Kuwabara said as Yukina frowned with a small 'oh no.' Genkai sighed and shook her head. "I knew dimwit wouldn't adjust to a man so easily."

Six-B Losing Grip

Keiko finished her last bit of dishes as she took a deep breath and tossed the rag back into the water. She used her dry hand to wipe the sweat away from her forehead. "Working is a bitch isn't it?" a voice from behind was heard as she turned around to see Renee.

"Hai…" she said with sadness in her voice. Renee sighed and rolled her eyes.

"What is it now?" Renee asked as Keiko exited the kitchen before her with a mop, herself with a broom. Keiko sighed and dipped the mop into the bucket of water that sat in the middle of the dinning floor. She took the soaking wet mop out and started in a corner.

"Well… only thing need to be said he's up and outta here." she grumbled. "He had the nerve to tell me shut up today and that he was getting out of the house." she became aggressive with the mop, making the mop make a scrapping noise against the floor. "I hate that jerk!"

Renee once again sighed, "Told ya so. Keiko," she said as Keiko began to beat the floor hard with the mop. "Keiko!" she said as she ran over and took the mop out of Keiko's hand before she was to get too physical with the mop. "Look Keiko," Renee took Keiko by the chin, "just give him some time, let him realize what he's missing. Don't give into him.. I should know." she said as Keiko looked into Renee's eyes.

"Girl you've turned into a monster. You need some rest why don't you go home and leave the rest of the work to me?" Renee suggested, running a hand through Keiko's much longer hair. Her hair came just above the middle of her back. Keiko put a hand on her forehead. "Yeah.. Yeah I need a break." she said.

"Arigatou Renee." Keiko said putting the mop back into the bucket. She made her way to the door and grabbed her raincoat fore it had started to rain just a minute ago. "Ja-ne, I love ya onna." she smiled before exiting. Renee smiled weakly and turned to the kitchen to return to working.

Soon as she stepped outside drops of rain speckled all over the top of her raincoat hood. She decided to walk slowly instead of the quick paste she usually walks from work. She wasn't so anxious to get home now that Yuusuke was gone. She suddenly began to glare thinking of him. She kicked a rock down a drain, "Stupid Yuusuke, why must you be so immature?" she asked herself.

"Because he's an idiot." she heard a deep and raspy voice from above and looked around. Soon she saw Hiei jump out of the tree and she screamed and fell onto her bottom. He laughed at her expression and quickly stood to glare at him.

"That was not funny you jerk!" she shouted, her small fists to the side of her, clenching in anger. "What are you doing, stalking me?" she asked jokingly as Hiei rolled his eyes and began to walk beside her. "Hn, I have better things to do than to follow you of all bijins. (beautiful women)" he smirked. She glared and then frowned.

"Am I really that horrible in beauty?" she asked, looking down on herself. Hiei's eyes widened as he didn't know what to say. Keiko was a great friend towards him, not calling him her friend, but he couldn't let her swim in sorrow fore she was a very intellect woman.

"Hn, I didn't mean it like that. I meant I have better things to do and I won't stalking you."

"Oh so you just happened to be here?" she said, understanding. She began to smile as she began to think of what Hiei said. Her honey eyes began to sparkle and turn even more golden as if she was gaining joy into them. "If so, why does Yuusuke think everyone's beautiful except me?"

Hiei grumbled. He wasn't a psychic, then again he was. He didn't have time for foolish ningen-games. "I don't know you idiot, do I look like a Love Psychic?" he said rather harsh for the scene. Keiko's joy began to fade slowly as she was losing confidence again. Boy she sure does have such low self-esteem. Hmmm maybe I should play with her. He smirked.

"I'm sorry for being so dumb, I don't mean to bother you Hiei." she said, picking up her paste as the demon caught up with her and grabbed her roughly by her shoulder. A long truck passed by, silencing all the things said. After the truck passed Keiko could be seen clinging around a shocked Hiei.

"Arigatou Hiei, you're so kind." she said now running quickly towards home fore she was happy of what Hiei had just told her obviously. Hiei stood in the same spot, disgusted by getting hugged by Keiko. "Hn… wasn't so bad." he said and shook his head before leaping back into the tree.

Keiko skipped, danced and even sung her way home. She saw police sirens down the street as she turned onto her street. Her view was blurry because of the rain in her eyes. She quickly wiped them and seen that the police were in her yard! She ran as quick as she could, splashing through big puddles and sliding down slick sidewalks.

She saw Yuusuke being dragged out the house in handcuffs as a police slammed him down onto the police car's hood. "Yuusuke!?" she screamed. "Yuusuke!" she screamed again before slipping on a mud puddle and falling. She moaned in pain as her eye sight was blurry. Two black figures appeared over her head as her eyes shut slowly.

10 minutes later…

Keiko woke up in the back of the police car, wrapped in a blanket for warmth. The police man turned to see Keiko sit up and he smiled, "Hey sweetie, finally you wake. You had a terrible fall back there." he said as she finally figured out where she was.

"Huh? Nani ka! Am I in trouble?" she asked. "Yuusuke, where's Yuusuke!?" she shouted as she jumped out of the car to see Makita standing in the doorway of the house talking to a policeman. Yuusuke was seen in the car behind the one she was asleep in.

"Yuusuke." she ran to the window and knocked. He sat up and turned around to look out the window to see Keiko. For a weird reason his eyes seemed to brighten at seeing her face. 'Keiko' she saw his lips motion. She knocked on the policeman's window and signaled to unlock the doors.

Yuusuke got out of the car, still handcuffed and closed the door. He turned to see Keiko with her arms folded. "What did you do now?" she asked annoyed. Yuusuke sighed, "You'll see when you go in the house." he said smirking. "Makita called the police on me, she got scared." he said as the police took the handcuffs off of him.

"We see this is your house and you were doing damage to your own house so typically there is nothing wrong." he said as he smiled and patted Yuusuke on the shoulder. "Just an angry breakdown ne? Just be careful and relax." he said before getting into the car as the line of police cars pulled off.

"Angry breakdown!?" she shrieked and ran towards the house where Makita had just stepped out. Keiko flew passed Makita, barely knocking her down and into the house. She gasped and shrieked, "Oh my god! Yuusuke you jerk!" she shouted before returning back outside with a baseball bat. Yuusuke and Makita was gone in just a knick of time.

"YUUSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Keiko screamed at the top of her lungs outside in her yard. Yuusuke and Makita was so far away and still heard Keiko screaming his name. She fell onto her knees as tears began to fall down her eyes. The hood fell off her head as her hair began to get soaked.

"You… you big jerk…" she stuttered. "Why are you doin' these childish things?" she asked herself as she began to cry aloud. She laid down onto the wet mud and grass. A car pulled up as two kid's voices were heard, "Is that Keiko-san? Nani ka tousan nani ka!?"

Then Kuwabara's voice was heard, "Keiko! Shinanaide?" he said as he ran and hopped over her, kneeling onto one knee. Yukina hopped out also and stood on the opposite side of Keiko as Kuwabara lifted her head to see she was just crying. "What happened Keiko?" Yukina shrieked as Keiko kept crying annoyingly. The neighbors poked their heads out the doors to see what in the hell was going on.

"Is there something lose that needs to be reported?!" Kuwabara shouted, thinking maybe it was a demon or something attacking. "Keiko speak!"

"Iie! Yuusuke-kun…Shitsukoi!" she gasped out between her cries. She shoved Kuwabara and Yukina away, "Nigero!" (get away!) she shouted as Yukina flew back into a mud puddle, feeling betrayed. Kuwabara lightly moved away and tried to take her hand in his.

"Keiko… what did he do? Doko Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked as Keiko looked at her hand in his before pointing down the street. Kuwabara took off soon as Keiko pointed down the street. Keiko sobbed a couple more times before she grabbed a hold onto her self and looked up to see Yukina crying pearls.

"Eh.. Yukina-san, anata daijoubu ka??" (you ok?) Keiko crawled a little closer towards where Yukina was. Yukina sobbed and stood before moving away from Keiko. "Yukina-san!" she shrieked.

"Iie, Keiko.. Nigero!" she said backing away towards the car. "We must not be friends." she said before turning to open her car door. Keiko jumped up and ran towards the car, slamming the door back together. Yukina's eyes widened as Keiko glared at her.

"Yukina-chan gomen nasai!! I did not mean to push you… or Kuwabara. We must be friends." she said, her voice getting lighter and lighter by every word. A frown appeared onto Keiko's mouth as Yukina's wide eyes began to contract. Yukina clung around Keiko's neck as Keiko wrapped her arms around her too. They parted and laughed a small laugh, "This was so childish of ourselves." Keiko said, putting a hand behind her head. Yukina nodded in agreement, "Gomen nasai Keiko."

"Lets get out of the rain." Keiko offered, turning to her now-wrecked house as Yukina motioned for Andre and Kagome to come along. The two hopped out of the car panting, scared of what just happened with their parents. Yukina rubbed their heads as they entered the house. Keiko tossed Yukina a dry towel to wipe off the mud and water. "I hope Kazuma doesn't do anything crazy." she said before wiping her face.

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara called, running down the street Yuusuke and Makita had ran down. "Onegai Urameshi, minatte!" (wait) He spotted Yuusuke and Makita down in front of an abandoned neighborhood church. "Urameshi." he said as he ran towards them. Yuusuke noticed Kuwabara running his away and crouched over, panting from all the running. Makita sat on the steps, trying to catch her breath.

"Urameshi, what are you doing?" he asked, approaching them and breathing as hard as they were. Yuusuke sat onto the step beside Makita, burring his head into his hands as he silently began to cry. "Hey!" Kuwabara called, shoving Yuusuke's leg to one side as Yuusuke stood and swung, hitting Kuwabara square in the cheek. He then swung again, hitting him hard in the stomach. Kuwabara crouched over in pain as he was hit unsuspectingly. Yuusuke kicked him in the face, making him fall back onto his bottom.

"Yuusuke!" a soft voice was heard as he continued to stomp on Kuwabara. Makita ran to the top of the steps and sat screaming fore she didn't know what to do. "Yuusuke!" Kurama's voice repeated as Kurama approached him and bear hugged him to keep him from swinging again.

"Don't touch me!" he shouted, trying to get away from Kurama. "Let me go!! NIGERO!!" he screamed in a straining voice as he felt his aura rising quickly. Botan ran to Kuwabara's side and put a hand on his cheek, examining Kuwabara's face to see a bruised cheek. "Anata daijoubu?" she said as Kuwabara nodded before standing with Botan's help. They then turned to see Kurama still struggling to keep Yuusuke calm. All of a sudden a gust of wind began to whirl around them as Kuwabara squinted his eyes to see a ball of energy forming in Yuusuke's hand.

"Kurama look out! Let him go!" Kuwabara warned as Yuusuke whipped his hand between Kurama and himself and screamed, releasing a big glob of energy. Kurama's eyes widened as he noticed the spirit energy and before he could do anything he was already flying down the street and into the front of someone's car, flying through the windshield.

"Kurama!!!" Botan and Kuwabara shouted as Makita gasped and stood. She raced down the steps and towards the car, almost tripping. "Kurama-chan!" she shouted, beginning to cry. She looked into the car to see Kurama in bad condition and looked away quickly, shutting her eyes tight. Botan and Kuwabara ran over also, peeking into the car to look away quickly in disgust of Kurama. Yuusuke's eyes widened as he looked down at his hand in disbelief. 'My spirit energy.. it's back…' He began to run again…

Author: Spirit energy! Where da bleep dat come from?! What did Makita and the rest of them see of Kurama? Is he dead or nearly dead? Where is Yuusuke going? Why did it all happen? Is Makita really illegally selling/using heroine? Will Keiko forgive Yuusuke? Will Kurama ever get to show love and the world Botan? Questions and more questions... Will be answered in next chapter. Yes, big cliff hanger sorry. Please review. Ja-ne.
