Five years had passed since Yusuke and Keiko's last meeting. Yusuke was never seen or heard from again. After the first few months of his disappearance Keiko had started to get very worried. Botan searched the parts of Makai that she could get to. Yet, there was so sign of him. Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara also went out to search, but had no luck.
Botan, Yukina, and Shizuru did their best to comfort Keiko, but even they knew the chances of Yusuke being alive were very slim. For a while, Keiko just cried and cried. She had hope that Yusuke was okay, and that he would come back soon, but after a year of waiting, she gave up. Yusuke wasn't coming back.
Keiko's friends had told Keiko to stop sulking, repeatedly. Yet, Keiko could not force herself to forget Yusuke. Even now, after five whole years, Keiko had refused to go out with any other guy. All of her friends were desperately jealous of her; so many guys had asked her out, yet she had rejected every single one of them.
They had attempted to set her up with someone way too many times to count, yet she was too stubborn. She refused to listen to them. Whenever the subject about Keiko's love life came up, Keiko was always the first to leave the room. None of her friends understood, Yusuke had been too important to her. She couldn't just find another guy and pretend that nothing ever happened.
Whenever her friends pestered her about other guys, Keiko usually went to Botan. She understood how she felt about Yusuke and that she couldn't forget him. Botan was always there to comfort her when she was upset. They had remained best friends for a very long time, and they could talk to each other about almost anything. At least Keiko thought that she understood her feelings, even Botan started saying that Keiko should move on. She felt betrayed, even her best friend didn't understand anymore. How could she love someone else when her heart refused to let her?
Two of Keiko's friends, Kira and Aiko had been very persistent in trying to set Keiko up with someone. Obviously, Keiko refused each one of their choices, but they didn't give up.
One day they went to visit Keiko, when she opened the door, they rushed inside and pushed Keiko on to the couch. They sat down on either side of her, both looking extremely excited.
"What's wrong with you two?" Keiko asked, in total confusion. 'What are they up to now?' she wondered
"Guess What, Kei!" Kira exclaimed. Keiko, still confused about what was going on just gave her a confused look before answering.
"What?"
"We found this guy, and we think you'll like him!" exclaimed Aiko, who was even more hyper than Kira.
"You guys, I really don't think-"
"We told him all about you, and he seemed interested in you" Kira added 'Oh great, just what I need, some sick pervert that they found on the streets' Keiko said to herself.
"Yeah, he's my cousin's best friend, I know him really well, and he's really nice" Aiko explained. 'So much for a random guy they just found...'sighed Keiko.
"You guys, you know I don't like dating-"
"Please Keiko! We know you'll like him! It's about time you had a boyfriend!" Kira exclaimed.
"Just this once, just meet him, maybe you will like him!" Aiko added.
"Fine, as long as you don't ever bother me about this again…"
"Deal! Great, just meet him tomorrow in the park." Kira explained, then they both turned around and walked out the door.
'I can't believe I'm actually doing this. Yusuke, where are you? Don't you remember...you promised...' Keiko said to herself.
