One date turned into two, and two led to three… for every date Keiko had an excuse not to go, one of her friends had a better reason for her to go. Days went by, soon weeks, and finally a year. A whole year and Keiko was still dating Haru. Her friends loved this, they had accomplished the one thing they thought would have been impossible, they found Keiko a boyfriend.

There was just one problem; Keiko had done something that she had never thought she could ever do after Yusuke's disappearance. Fall in love.

Yes, it was true. Over time, Keiko begun to fall for Haru, it may not have been the same love she had felt for Yusuke. In fact, it was not even close. There was no way she could ever feel the way she felt about Yusuke, for anyone else. Yet, that didn't change anything, she had found someone else.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so happy for you!" Botan exclaimed. Keiko and Botan had gone shopping to get Keiko a new outfit. Haru had asked Keiko out to dinner in one of Tokyo's most expensive restaurants, and Botan insisted she buy something new.

"I still don't understand why you are so excited, Botan" Keiko said averting her eyes away from her blue-haired friend, and back to the rack of dresses she had been looking at.

"Kei, you know, you were always the smartest out of all of us, and you still are so clueless. He's asking you out to one of Tokyo's best places! He probably has something special to tell you!"

"Sure…Anyway, forget about it. What do you think of this dress?" Keiko said, holding up a baby blue, spaghetti strap dress.

"It's perfect."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keiko rushed down the stairs of her house as she heard the doorbell ring. Opening it, she was greeted by smiling Haru.

"Hey honey" He said, leaning down and giving her a peck on the cheek. "You ready to get going?"

"Yeah, I'll just get my coat." When they stepped outside, Keiko nearly fainted. Parked right in front of her house, was a shiny black limo.

"Come on, or we'll be late" Haru said pulling Keiko's arm, ignoring the look of shock on her face. Once inside the limo, Keiko finally found words.

"Wow, you've really out done yourself, Haru"

"You deserve it, though" He said pressing his lips against hers. Keiko tried to resist. For some reason, his kisses just didn't feel right. There was always something missing. But, as she tried to pull back, he only responded by pulling her closer to him. 'This is going to be a long ride' Keiko said to herself.

Lucky for Keiko, the restaurant was only a few minutes away. When they got there, Haru escorted her to the door, and a waiter led them to their seats. As they sat down, Haru began talking first.

"Keiko, I love you" This wasn't the first time he had said this to her, for some reason he like to remind her constantly. "We've been going out for a while now, and I think that I'm finally ready for this" He said, his eyes staring into hers. Keiko gasped as he knelt down and took her hand. He reached into his pocket and fished out a small velvet box, opened it, and in the center was a beautiful diamond ring.

"Keiko, will you marry me?" She felt like she would pass out. She could feel little voices in her head, arguing with each other.

'You can't say yes, you don't really love him'

'Yes you do, and if you say no, this will be the end of your relationship'

'Don't ruin you life and get into something you will regret'

'If you say no, and you break up, what will you tell everybody?'

"Keiko?" Haru said, awakening her from her thoughts

"Huh?"

"What do you say? Will you marry me?"

"Uh...Y-yes"

"I knew you would agree!" He said, grabbing her in his arms and kissing her once more, but deep down, Keiko felt really strange about the whole thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not too far from that very same restaurant, a man stood there, looking at the streets of Tokyo. His un-gelled hair was untidy and all over the place. His clothes were torn, from the many fights he endured. 6 years. 6 years had gone by since that fateful day when he had left this place that he had been longing to return to. 6 years since he had left the person, the person whom he missed so much. As he walked through the dark, empty streets, he wondered where to go first. It had been so long.

Yusuke Urameshi was finally back.
