Yusuke: I'll tell you right now you are a lying freak, I can't believe you'd think that!
Kryll: I see you've already started to read, well I hope you like the rest of it.
"Bye honey I love you! See you tomorrow!" Yusuke cried to the beautiful girl Keiko had no idea he was with. She walked away never dreaming of what truths lye in his life, she had met him but two days ago and really didn't know him. Yusuke really loved her and wanted to spend as much time with her as he could. But one thing stand in his way, Keiko. He wanted to tell her how happy he was but just didn't want to have to see the look on her face or feel the sting of the slap he so rightfully deserved. The new girl's name was Yusumi, Yusuke and her met at the arcade and that's one of the only justifications he had for being with her, Keiko never ever liked the arcade or video games for that matter. "Mother I'm home!" shouted Yusumi, her mother emerged from the kitchen. "Oh mother he's amazing, I just think he is so perfect." "Now Yusumi, don't get in too deep your only 15, you have no need for serious relationships yet." "Mom I know, but seriously, he's perfect! I am so happy I met him, he's cute and funny and I'm surprised he's wasn't taken, oh he's perfect!" "Teenage girls" Her mother finished. Just then the door bell rang and Yusumi ran to answer it. When she opened the door there stood Yusuke. "I couldn't wait till tomorrow to see you, so here I am now!" Said Yusuke with a sweet twang to his voice. She shuffled him in and she introduced Yusuke to her mother. Her mother thought he was charming and pleasant. They ran up to her room, sat down and started talking.
Keiko was walking down the street she passed an old apartment house and as she passed she heard the voice of her boy Yusuke, she dismissed the thought because obviously she had too much faith in him. "Mom I'm back, did Yusuke call yet?" "No, not yet." Keiko sat down and puzzled why he hadn't called he had been awfully lackadaisical about calling her lately. She had made it up in her mind to find him tomorrow and ask for some explanation.
"Now where could he be", Keiko thought. "Arcade!" She ran as fast as she could to Yusuke's favorite arcade. When she peered through the window she saw Yusuke playing some game she had no idea what. She ran in and hugged him almost choking him. "Hey Yusumi, you showed up." Then Yusuke looked down not to find Yusumi but Keiko. Yusuke jumped back, startled by her. "So who's Yusumi? Some girl your cheating with?" Questioned Keiko with pounding anger. "Keiko, it's no one really just a slip of tongue, I meant Keiko but Yusumi came out don't ask me why." "Slip of tongue, slip of tongue!" Keiko was interrupted, "Yusuke baby whose this?" Yusuke froze in place, his heart torn between two women he loved. Without a word Keiko stormed out the door. "Yusuke, who was that, a friend of yours or, or, or" "I have to be honest, she is my girlfriend, but then I met you and I just didn't want to lose her, but I wanted you..." "Yusuke, I'll forgive you but if you need to mend edges with her go tell whatever it takes to get her back,call me next chance you get, but please don't forget me Yusuke." "I won't" He kissed her and ran out the door to find Keiko.
He went to her house and before he even hit the porch he heard her screaming and crying. He walked through the door without knocking and walked over and hugged her. "I'm sorry I hurt you, I love you like the best friend you are." "All these years you've considered me a friend!? Oh Yusuke" Then she slapped him harder than ever. "I know I deserved that, are we still friends Keiko?" " Ya know Yusuke, we're not. You made me think we were more than friends than you go off without warning with some girl you never care to tell me about. I feel like I need some time to get my anger out. Sayonara." She stomped off in furry and left him standing there all alone.
As Yusuke got home to find his mom absent from the household he laid down face first to lament over losing Keiko. He had known her so long how could he do that to her. How stupid could he be?
It was Christmas Eve and it had been 4 months since he last had tried to talk to Keiko. Yusuke was helping his mom make dinner and he was expecting Yusumi to stop by. She came and walked in with her family to join them all for the Christmas meal. Fun was had by all, but Yusuke's mind was else where, he had his head in the clouds thinking about how Keiko was doing. "Excuse me a second everyone, I'll be right back." Yusuke got up without another word.
"Hello?" Said the voice on the line, it was Keiko, she finally was answering the phone again, "Keiko it's me I'm sorry, please talk to me..." he trailed off, and Keiko was silent but still on the phone. "Yusuke, I'm sorry too." She said without an explanation, " What do you have to be sorry about, I was the jerk." Replied Yusuke, "I'm sorry for not speaking to you for so long, we're friends and I've been the jerk to you, please forgive me because I've forgiven you." Keiko answered and Yusuke replied, "You'll always be forgiven in my eyes Keiko, do you want to come over for a while?" within the next 10 minutes she was over and was sitting with the two families she felt right at home with.
As Keiko was leaving Yusuke turned her around, kissed her and said, "Merry Christmas" She blushed then left.
