Chapter 4- A Little Agreement

Well hi! Kay! From this point on, I think my fic is going downhill, at least until the really exciting part of the fic, which is when Keiko and the KND are gotten and –well I'll leave that there...Okay! Please R&R!

Rated for violence, cussing, and kissing scenes...

Disclaimer: Yeah, why would I be typing fan fiction, if I owned the show?

The four children looked at the key chain. Wally's eyes started to water... It was hard to see.

"Luckily, Keiko doesn't know a thing about KND..." Abby murmured. "Numbuh 5'll ask 'er where she got this..."

"No, don't..." Wally whispered. "It's a little painful to know..."

"Okay," Nigel said simply. "It's late at night; I suggest a good night's sleep would clear things up... Goodnight team."

"'Night, Numbuh 1," Abby said.

"Uh, I think I'll just stay up building new inventions..." Hoagie said as he left towards his room.

Wally nodded, heading for his room. That girl was going to stay in the room beside his... He won't be able to sleep knowing that she was in Kuki's room.

His room was just as messy as before. Carefully he plopped on the wrestling ring, setting aside a couple of comic books. He sighed. Surely he couldn't get to sleep. He turned on his head set.

He noticed that his door was opened, carefully Wally investigated.

"'Ello? 'Oo is there?" Wally said carefully.

He heard sobs when he lifted his head phones. He was a bit nervous as he approached the crying. Keiko was there, next to his drawer; she seemed to be hiding something.

"Wot are you doin' 'ere?" Wally practically screamed.

She cried even harder. She'd rather be anywhere than in the tree house.

She instantly hugged Wally. The tears were streaming down.

"Take me away..." she whispered through her sobs. "I don't want to be here..."

"Well, then, why'd you agree to stayin' 'ere?" Wally asked interested, not minding her hugging him.

"I didn't want to hurt Numbuh 5's feelings..." Kuki said letting go. "I know you dislike me the most, so will you take me away?"

Wally thought about it. "Oh... 'Kay... I'll help you escape, but not tonight..."

She hugged him more tightly this time, and he did to her. It took a few minutes to realize that they were still hugging each other. Reluctantly, they parted, blushing like mad.

"Oh, uh, sorry," Keiko said blushing even deeper.

"Err, it's, um... alright..." said Wally uncertainly, and becoming crimson too.

They both laughed nervously. Keiko really wanted to stay... but only because of Wally... She knew she denied these feelings until now...

"So, err, I guess we'll talk about this some other time..." Keiko said carefully.

"Err, yeah..." Wally replied. "Um, I have a couple of questions..."

"Yeah?" said Keiko interested. "...What is it?"

"Is this yours?" Wally said opening his palm.

Keiko looked at what he was showing her. It was the key chain. Her eyes swelled up in tears again. Although she held them back, it was still obvious.

'I'll take that as a yes,' Wally thought. As he pushed the keychain in her hand he then said, "Here..."

She looked down on the keychain. A tear fell upon it. This was the only key to "Kuki's Life." She looked up at Wally, who was staring at the thing in her hand.

"Where did you get this, Keiko?" Wally asked.

She knew this was coming. "Me? Get this Key Chain? Um, I got it at, uh..."

"Where?" Wally more demanded than questioned.

"Where I got it? Uh, I got it, um, from my friend... Yeah, my friend," Keiko excitedly that she had an excuse.

"Oh, and who's this friend?" he said.

She sighed as she thought of quick lies to tell, "I don't know... I only met her once, and then she gave me this..."

"She?" Wally asked interested.

Now Keiko had done it. She had shared too much. Her head bowed.

"Yes..." She whispered.

"Did ya catch 'er name?" Wally asked eagerly.

She squeezed her eyes shut, and reluctantly nodded.

"Her name was..." Keiko said. Wally was looking eager. She could have just said Laurie, or Christina, or some other girl name, but her senses made her blurt out, "I don't know..."

He felt so disappointed. Wally was sure that was Kuki's. He sat on the on the floor and stared into the ceiling.

She didn't mean to make him feel sad or disappointed in any way. Slowly, she walked out of the room and a struck of guilt hit her: she wanted so much to tell him the truth.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but oh well! Thanks for the reviews!

That's me
