Author's Note: Wow, I haven't been updating for a long time. This chapter is short, but I'm guessing you guys are used to it heh.

Chapter 10:

"Yusuke," a silent hoarse voice called out. "Yusuke."

Yusuke turned around. It was Keiko, the old one not the "improved" one.

"Keiko, what's wrong?"

"Yusuke," Keiko gasped, "it's Botan. She…"—Keiko took in a deep breath—"Botan, she's…"

Keiko slumped. Her forehead ice—cold but her face burning hot.

"Keiko?" Yusuke cried, "KEIKO?"

"That's not going to work."

Yusuke whipped around, "show yourself," he cried.

"Who I am is none of your business," the same voice smiled, "the point is that you're running out of time Spirit Detective. Hope you enjoyed living."
