~*Too late to go back*~

A/n Geeze! Could I take a longer time updating! I've been thinking, very hard and I think this is going to be a pretty short fiction. I have so many story ideas right now! So I think I'm going to start another one. If one of you has a preference tell me. And for those of you who don't know what the choices are, they're in my story 'Interference' in chapter 19. Just read the authors notes, you can't miss them! Or… If you have an idea that you would like me to work with tell me that too!

Chapter 3

                   "Keiko, sit down already!" Botan said from her seat.

                   "Yeah kid, take a load off, they'll be here soon enough." Shizuru said coolly. Keiko scanned the arena below them one more time, then reluctantly sat down. She glanced to the demons around her.

                   "So, Yusuke is risking his life to fight these ugly apparitions."(I'm sorry if I spelt that wrong!)

                   "Well, I guess you could say that but, you must watch your mouth. We aren't on safe grounds." Botan explained.

                   "We aren't SAFE!?" Keiko stood up again, her eyes looking like they would burst if she held any more anger.

"Just like it's not SAFE to be running around fighting these things? You let him off to easy Botan." Her eyes softened a bit.

"I'm still confused why Yusuke didn't tell me, did he not trust me? Did he not think that I would be able keep a secret like this? I just don't understand…"

"Keiko… it's nothing like that. He just didn't want you to get hurt." Botan explained calmly. Keiko shook her head, a little bit of furry lighting her eyes again. Keiko clenched her fists and put on her best serious face.

"Yusuke can't keep on lying to people he cares about. Oooo I'm going to let him have it!" Shizuru let out a small gasp.

          "Look!" She exclaimed, pointing at the fighting arena below them.

          "Oh no, please no!" Keiko gasped. She darted from her seat and sprinted closer.

          "Keiko! Oh no! Better follow her." Botan said.

          "Right." Shizuru said as she followed Botan.

          "So this is it." Kurama said as he gaze at his surroundings.

          "Ewe! It smells funky in here!" Kuwabara said, still caring the sleeping detective.

          "Hn. We should probably wake up the idiot." Hiei said. Kuwabara set Yusuke down and poked him a few times.

          "Urimeshi. Urimeshi!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Come on! Time to wake up!"

          "Team captains! Please come into the arena!" Koto yelled.

          "Oh well, the fool will have to do it." Hiei said.

          "Huh?" Kuwabara said confused.

          "He means to say that you should be the acting team captain when Yusuke cannot." Kurama explained.

          "Yeah! I can do that!" and with that Kuwabara ran onto the fighting arena to decide the teams for the fights.

          "KURAMA!" Kurama turned around to the stands to see Keiko yelling his name.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YUSUKE?" She yelled leaning dangerously over the edge. Kurama ran over to her.

          "Calm down Keiko!" Kurama said.

"He's just sleeping." He said. Keiko said a sigh of relief.

          "Oh ok. Hey, what's Kuwabara doing?" Keiko asked. Shizuru and Botan finally reached Keiko.

          "Hold on Kuwabara! I don't suppose you can fly can you?" Botan yelled.

          "Oh Hi Botan! Hey sis! I didn't know you were here! Oh and Keiko is that you? Hey Botan! Urimeshi is gonna kill you! I would talk to you more but I'm kinda busy right now!"

          "Well, at least he's getting a good view of the stadium…" Shizuru said.

          "Shizuru!" Keiko yelled.

          'Is this what's going to happen to you Yusuke? Are you going to get hurt like Kuwabara and die and leave me here? Wait, Yusuke!' Keiko thought.

          "YUSUKE URIMESHI GET OFF YOU LAZY BUT AND HELP KUWABARA!" Keiko yelled. Demons whispered around her. Like,

          "Hey she knows the human?" and other obvious things like that.

          "There doomed." Shizuru said simply.

          "Yes it's simply time I stepped in!" Botan said as she jumped over to the rest of the team.

          "Wait Botan!" Keiko called after her.

          "Come on Keiko, let's go back to our seats." Shizuru said.

Yeah! I got it typed! Ok I should update more now. But you should now that it snowed here in MN and I didn't get to play in the snow yet.

Ok enough complaining. R&R!
