~*Too late to go back*~

A/n My computer is crashed. Fun huh? Right now I'm using my mom's computer. So really it's not my fault that I haven't updated. SORRY!!!@!!  I hope you can all forgive me! And thank you for updating! I was so happy I got more than 2 reviews I could cry! T_T. THANK YOU!!

            "Is someone there?" Keiko asked.

            "Yes. It is I, Yukira great and powerful demon. Why is it that a little human girl is here? And from what I can tell totally defenseless. You're spirit energy is next to nothing, and you don't look strong at all. And since you're here at hanging neck island, I can only assume that you know that most demons, me included, can not be harmed by strength. My skin is as strong as a rock. Weapons and brut strength will get you nowhere." Yukira said. His voice was high pitched and scratched.

            "I just came here to take a walk, and I lost track of time. I told my friends I'd be back by now so I tried to take a short cut through the forest." Keiko explained as calmly as you can with a monster in front of you.

            'Ok… think, maybe he can help me. Maybe he'll take me back to the path. Who am I trying to kid? I have listening to these things talk about nothing but death to humans mainly Yusuke and Kuwabara, but humans. Plus, yesterday that demon attacked me In broad daylight and now it's shadowed and no one is here. I can't scream and he just told me that slapping him wouldn't work so now what? I could try to run, but he would just catch me. Oh no! what am I going to do? Yusuke help! No!  I can get out of this myself… hopefully. Yusuke shouldn't have to risk himself because of my stupidity of cutting through the woods. Oh man! I should have just stayed on the path! To late for that. Ok what am I going to do?' Keiko thought at hyper speed. She could feel the adrenaline pumping through her body.

            "Well, that means that you don't have spirit awareness, 'cause if you did you would know that you're miles from the hotel and have acutely been taking a detour."

            "b-but t-that isn't possible! A straight line is the fastest way." Keiko stuttered.

            "hee hee. Stupid human girl! I'm getting hungry though, and you would make a very tasty lunch."

            Keiko stepped back, he eyes became more determined and her soft delicate hands formed into tight fists.

            "Don't try to run away. I am very hungry and I won't let you get away." Yukira warned.

             Keiko stood dumbstruck for a second then quickly turned around and ran for her life. Suddenly a pair of red beady eyes stood in front of her. Keiko screeched and turned to run in another direction. But it hopeless.  Keiko tripped on a vine and fell on the ground, hard. Only to slip into a state of unconsciousness.

            "Shizuru, what time is it?" Botan asked as she plopped herself on a chair and reached for a magazine.

            "12:15" She answered form the small walk in kitchen.

            "hmmm, do you think we should wake Keiko up? I mean she has had a rough day but I've never known her to sleep in. I wonder what it will do to her immune system? With all this stress on her I don't want her to get sick or anything so maybe we should… what do you think?" Botan asked. Shizuru walked in and threw Botan a pop.

            "How 'bout we go in, tell her what time it is and let her decide if she should wake up or not?" Botan smiled and clasped her hands together.

            "Brilliant!" Botan and Shizuru walked over and knocked on Keiko's door.

            " :knock knock: Keiko? :knock knock: Keiko?" Botan called. After a few seconds the two girls opened the door and peered inside.

            "Keiko?" The two looked around the room. No Keiko.

            "I'll go check the bathroom." Shizuru said. Botan nodded and looked for clues. The room was in perfect order. The bed was neatly made and Keiko's suit case was stowed  in the closet.

            "She's not there Botan." Shizuru reported.

            'That's so strange…" Botan said, worry starting to fill her violet eyes. Noticing this, Shizuru put her hand on Botan's shoulder.

            "Hey, I'm sure she's fine… she is probably wandering around the hotel or something." Botan shook her head.

            "I doubt it. Something MUST be wrong. Keiko is the most responsible person I know. She wouldn't leave without leaving us a note."

            "Maybe she went to go see Yusuke and thought she'd be back before we woke up." Shizuru suggested, although she was getting a bad feeling about this.

            "Hmmm, maybe. I'll call Yusuke and see if she's there." Botan picked up the phone and dialed the number.

            "Hello?" Kurama answered.

            "Kurama? Is Keiko over there?" Botan asked franticly.

            "Keiko? No she's not? Why?"

            "She's not here. We can't find her. What are we supposed to do?"

            "Hang on. We'll be right over and we'll help you look for her. The best thing you can do right now is stay calm." Kurama replied.

            "Ok. Just hurry!" Botan said before she hung up.

"They're coming over to help us look." Botan told Shizuru.

            "Hey, don't worry. Keiko can handle herself, I'm sure she's fine."

            "I hope so…" Botan replied grimly.

~*~*~

            "Hey Kurama. Who was that?" Kuwabara asked.

            "It was Botan. She and Shizuru can't find Keiko."

            "Hn. I'm guessing we're going to go look for her?" Hiei asked. Kurama nodded.

            "Uh one problem…" Kuwabara said.

"Urimeshi isn't here. He went to go for a walk."

            "Why don't you go find him than Kuwabara than meet me and Hiei at the girl's room?" Kurama suggested.

            "Yeah sure, sounds good to me."

"Come on Hiei, let's go." Kurama said.

"Hn." Was his reply as he followed the red head out of the room.

A/n well how was that? Let me know!!!@!!
