Kurama paced the room as Shizuru slept. What was he going to do about Hiei? No doubt he would never speak to him again. Having a hand placed on his shoulder Kurama jumped. Turning around he saw a staggering Shizuru. "Trouble's coming. You need to-" Shizuru was wheezing. She had fallen to her knees. "Kurama there's not a lot of time, you must warn Yusuke and every-" Shizuru passed out again right there on the floor. Kurama picked her up and placed her on the couch.

Kurama grabbed a rose from his room and headed out to find the others…all except for Hiei that is. Where would everyone go? "I wish that Hiei was here. He could find them within seconds!" Kurama groaned. This was going to take awhile. And besides what if what Shizuru saw was truly dangerous? Then they all would be in for a trouble I mean with Yusuke worrying about Keiko who's all puffed up and Genkai. Kurama sighed. This was going to be hard to get Yusuke able to fight accurately again. If Yusuke was off then they'd all die.

What am I going to do? Yusuke was so mad at me when he stormed off like that. I couldn't just go talk to him. He'd kill me… Keiko was sitting in Yusuke's room. She didn't really want to leave anymore. She wanted to stay here with Yusuke and everybody else. "But if I stay here I'll be a nobody. If I leave I could become world famous. My books would sell!" Keiko had become an excellent writer. Since Yusuke was gone all the time with his spirit detective stuff she was left here alone so she decided to write fictional stories and about Japan's history including the old magic. Keiko got up and walked out of Yusuke's house. She was going to have a real good talk to Yusuke. He had no right… he may have been mad but that still had given him no right. Stomping off Keiko guesses exactly where he would be: the arcade.

Kuwabara had walked off out of the town. It was apparent that nobody wanted him around anymore. And besides when he was around they treated him like dirt. "I don't need any of them, not even my beautiful Sukinea!" Kuwabara growled. "She's not even that beautiful anyway!" Kuwabara had no idea where he was going to go but he didn't care as long as he got away from everyone he knew. And besides he wouldn't have to worry about anything, if he ran out of money he could use his spirit powers to rob a bank or something. What had happened to him? He didn't care about anyone or anything. He didn't even care if he died or not.

Hiei woke up. His dream moved him…in the most unpleasant way. Hiei sensed something coming. It felt bigger and stronger than anything else that they have ever fought. He would have to go warn Yusuke, since he was the idiot and wouldn't realize it was here until it destroyed half of the city. But what if Kurama had already sensed it and went to tell Yusuke? He couldn't bring himself to face Kurama just yet. Hiei decided to take a walk and hopefully the answers would come to him. He never thought that anything like this would ever have happened to him. "Kurama…" Hiei muttered as he walked towards the arcade.

"Oh come on! How the hell can an old lady like you beat me?" Yusuke shouted happily. He couldn't bring himself to get mad, not now. He knew that his bond between him and Genkai would never be broken. Genkai elbowed him in the ribs. Yusuke glared at her. He was so going to beat her in the next game!

"Let's be done okay?" Genkai cocked her head and asked like a schoolgirl. Yusuke nodded and followed her to a table. "It's nice to see that somebody still likes me…" Genkai stared at her feet. Yusuke hit the table lightly.

"Of course I still like ya! You're my mentor! And besides you…well we have gotten…well…"

"I know. Why can't guys ever say anything that makes them seem soft? If only for one second." Genkai sighed. Yusuke shook his head in disbelief. She wanted to be with him alone for a reason. Right then a waiter came. "I'll have a cappuccino…make it a warm green tea. And this dimwit-" She paused and pointed at Yusuke. "He'll have the cheapest thing you have." Genkai nodded and secretly winked as the waiter walked off. "Chill. After all I'm the only one with money." Genkai looked out the window. Why couldn't she just get to the point like she always did? Yusuke…he needed to know the truth but…

"Shall we get going? Leave before they give us the food or do you want to get the food then steal it?" Yusuke smirked. Genkai gave him a disappointing look. Yusuke stood up and walked to the back of the arcade. He remembered coming here before and… Keiko was… Yusuke burst out laughing. Someone had dared Keiko to kiss a frog for 20 dollars and she actually did! Genkai needed to spill what was on her mind already. She never did this; she always got to the point. He looked over and saw Keiko standing there playing pacman. She obviously didn't hear him laughing. Yusuke could see that she was or had been crying.

Yusuke knew that she knew that he would come here. Dreadfully Yusuke walked up to her. "Hi Yusuke. You and Genkai having a good time?" Keiko asked softly. Yusuke put his arms around her.

"You know I could never forgive myself for what I did to you." Yusuke whispered softly in her ear. Keiko shuddered. Keiko wanted Yusuke to not to be so understanding. After all she deserved what she got from him, his anger and hatred. Keiko wanted to get away from him, to show him that she deserved what she got. But all she could do is stay in his arms. Yusuke knew that he shouldn't be doing this, not until he figured out what was wrong with…Genkai! "Hey snuggle bunny I'd better go. Genkai…well she needs me." Yusuke let her go and jogged back to Genkai.

He looked at the table where they had been sitting. There was no trace of Genkai, just her tea and Yusuke's hot chocolate (Genkai knew that waiter and had told him all about Yusuke so she told him that Yusuke's favorite drink besides beer was hot coco). Where did she go? Yusuke sighed and knew that she had left. Her tea wasn't even touched. "Sorry Keiko." Yusuke muttered as he quickly and swiftly ran out the door. He was not going to let Genkai out of his sight, not again. He barely sensed her spirit waves but still was able to tell which direction she went in. As soon as he started running at full speed he ran straight smack into somebody.

"Yusuke!" Kurama gasped. Yusuke helped him up. "Sheesh causing damage just by running. You would make some enemy." Kurama muttered. Yusuke didn't hear what he said. "Shizuru sensed danger. We must get the others…well except for one. He…won't come if I'm here." Kurama looked at the ground. Yusuke took an awkward step back.

"It's all my fault too…sorry buddy. But danger whadda mean?" Yusuke stood there not sure whether he should try to comfort Kurama or not.

"I don't know. Shizuru passed out before she said." Kurama held his rose out in front of him. Yusuke took a step back as Kurama put some of his spirit energy into it. "You…you know everything don't you?" Kurama asked unpleasantly. Yusuke didn't know what he meant.

"Guilty as charged." Keiko stepped from behind Yusuke. Yusuke jumped when he saw her. Keiko couldn't look at him. "So about me and Hiei…" Kurama stopped dead in his tracks.

"My can't stop talking about me then?" Hiei walked over to them. Kurama jumped. He took a few steps away. Yusuke knew this wasn't going to turn out very good.

"No! I mean yes, I mean! I don't know what I mean! How do you even know if Yusuke was telling the truth? You know him! Idiotic him!" Kurama was yelling frantically. Hiei looked at Yusuke. He did have a point.

"Yusuke?" Hiei glared at him. Yusuke was nervous. Hiei was obviously not going to let him be out of this conversation. Yusuke took a few steps back then ran away from the group. He didn't need this right now. He knew what he needed to do now. Everyone stood there dumbstruck. "Did he just run away?" All three of them said at once.

"Well that's a first." Kurama said after a minute's silence. Hiei couldn't bring himself to look at Kurama. Keiko was staring in the direction Yusuke ran off in. He was hiding something from her but what? Yusuke was being so different lately. Maybe it was a good thing she was leaving.

"Kurama?" Hiei asked. Kurama looked at him. "I need to talk to you…alone." He said as he glared at Keiko. Keiko nodded her head and walked off. Kurama watched her with pity. Yusuke was hurting her but she didn't realize it…neither did Yusuke. They walked to the lake right at the border or the town. "Kurama I have been thinking. I mean…what if I liked you? You know in the way the Yusuke said you like me. Then what would happen with us?" Hiei was staring at the water. Kurama was looking at Hiei through his reflection. To tell the truth he really didn't think Hiei would even consider that path.

"Well we could become a couple…whether we share that with other people or not would be up to us. Or we could just ignore those feelings and go back to our normal life or close to it." Kurama's mouth had gone dry. This was someway for Hiei to pick and option for him to go down no doubt. Kurama flinched at that thought.

"Maybe…but what…you know as demons we could never…" Hiei sat down on the grass. Kurama closed his eyes. He forgot about that. He joined Hiei on the grass.

"You're right. I forgot." Kurama couldn't stand this. Even if Hiei and him wanted to become a couple they couldn't. Stupid demon blood! "Oh and I'm engaged…damn!" Hiei looked over at him quickly when Kurama said this. Kurama caught him staring and went beet red. "Well her name is Amy-Lin… She…well you know Yugi? She came from them to us…" Kurama sighed. He hated explaining this. "Amy-Lin did have an affair with Kaiba and Yami…I mean…She's human but my mom…my human mom engaged us when we were little. She's well I've never met her before. I mean I think she still has that thing going on with Yugi…Yami or Kaiba…" Kurama didn't know what else to say.

"You've been reading on again haven't you?" Hiei glanced over at Kurama then back at the water. Kurama's reflection nodded. "Ya I read that story. I say yugilover is quite a writer. She's trying to become an author…for young adult or whatever…" Hiei had to chuckle. "Well we'd better go. I mean so we can read on fanfiction…together." Hiei stood up and smiled as he helped Kurama up. Finally Kurama could go back to his old life.
