Chapter 3: Reactions

Yusuke Uremeshi's wide hazel eyes stared into familiar dark brown eyes. His mouth was slackened in shock as he tried to deny what he was seeing. There was no way this was Keiko, Yusuke assured himself. Keiko preferred looser clothing and dresses; she would never be caught in tight black jeans and an even tighter red blouse. And yet, Yusuke knew those eyes and as he continued to stare into them he became aware of a difference. He could no longer see into them, instead there was a wall shielding her inner thoughts. As his brow wrinkled in confusion, he took a step towards her and was knocked down by Kuwabara as he rushed past.

"Keiko," Kuwabara exclaimed as he stared down at her, "you look hot!" He smiled down at her and shook his head in amazement. "Who would have thought that you were hiding this figure? You are definitely a babe!"

Keiko wrenched her eyes from Yusuke's and looked up at the boy next to her. His light eyes were filled with amazement and caring; Keiko couldn't help but smile back at him. Her brown eyes warm and her smile beaming up at him. "Thank you Kuwabara." She replied with a small bow, "it's nice to know that someone thinks I'm pretty."

"Beyond pretty Keiko," Kuwabara assured her. "You are one hot mama."

"Really?" Keiko asked as she fought to keep from laughing. "You do wonders for a girls ego, Kuwabara." She paused for a moment and then smiled at him, "in fact I think that I should thank you for your comment."

"But you've already thanked me," Kuwabara protested as he ran a hair through his spikey orange hair."

Keiko didn't reply, only cupped his face in her hands and pulled his face towards her; she stood on tiptoe and pressed a kiss to his lips. "Thank you."

"No prob…" Kuwabara started to stutter out before he suddenly went flying into store they were standing in front of.

"Stay away from Keiko!" Yusuke yelled as he clamped a hand on her arm.

"Yusuke!" Keiko scolded as she tried to see if Kuwabara was all right. "You didn't have to hit him."

"Yes I did," Yusuke told her as he yanked her around to face him. His hazel eyes were burning brightly with anger and possessiveness. He frowned down at Keiko, unable to understand why she would kiss Kuwabara. Instead he decided to blame the entire mess on Kuwabara and the fact that Keiko was obviously sick. "You're mine and he doesn't need to be noticing that you look good."

"Yusuke Uremeshi," Keiko scolded as she scowled up at him, "who decided that I belonged to you?"

"Well..uh…" Yusuke stuttered for a moment. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that you are obviously sick or you wouldn't be wondering around in those clothes!"

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Keiko asked as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"They're tight and you can see things that no one should see," Yusuke told her as he scowled back at her.

"Show's what things Yusuke?" Keiko questioned softly as she stared into his eyes.

"Things that no one needs to notice," Yusuke told her as he began to pull her down the street.

For a moment Keiko considered continuing the fight, but decided it really wasn't worth the effort. Though she wasn't sure why what she was wearing was so important to him when he was trying to get rid of her. Instead she sighed softly and tried a different track. "Yusuke," she said softly as she tugged on his hand with hers.

"What?" Yusuke barked out as he continued to drag her down the street, glaring at every guy who looked at her.

"Puu and I are going shopping," Keiko told him as she tugged him to a stop and stepped in front of him.

"You need to go home and change," Yusuke insisted stubbornly as he stared into her eyes.

"I've been cleaning and rearranging all day Yusuke," Keiko told him, her voice coaxing. "I'm getting rid of a lot of my clothes because they are getting too tight. This is my last clean outfit that fits Yusuke. I've got nothing to change into." Keiko stared up at Yusuke trying to hide the hurt she felt this morning from his searching eyes.

Yusuke always could read her like a book and she was determined that he wouldn't this time. It would ruin all her plans if Yusuke managed to figure out what was wrong with her. So she did her best to look adoring as she stared up into his hazel eyes. A genuine smile touched her lips as he scratched the back of his head with his free hand. That gesture was so much a part of him that Keiko couldn't help but smile at the boy that she had fallen in love with. In return, his eyes softened and he smiled down at her, his expression rueful and he touched her cheek. Her head tilted into the touch, her eyes drifting closed, trying to memorize this moment.

Yusuke cradled Keiko's face in his hand and felt everything in him still. For the first time since hearing that Keiko hadn't been in school this morning, he could breath again. His tugged her closer and wrapped and arm around her waist, resting his head on hers and breathing in her scent. She always smelled of vanilla and something that was Keiko. As her hands came around his waist and she sighed against his chest, he felt the world right itself. "Sorry Keiko," he whispered as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"It's all right, Yusuke," she replied softly as she rubbed his back.

"Really?"

"Of course," Keiko assured him as she took a step away. "But I really need to get back to my shopping."

"Why don't I go with you," Yusuke offered as he stared at her questioningly. There was something about her tone and in her eyes that he didn't understand.

"I don't need you to go with me," Keiko assured him as she took another step away from him. "You know that you hate shopping and it shouldn't take to long." Keiko smiled up at him and reached up to scratch under Puu's chin.

"But it's almost dark," Yusuke protested as he took a step after her.

"I won't be long Yusuke," Keiko responded, the beginnings of frown on her face.

"You shouldn't be out by yourself," Yusuke continued stubbornly, his eyes narrowed on her face.

"What gives you the right to decide that?" Keiko asked as she glared up at his face. Her brown eyes remained locked on his.

"You are just a girl.." Yusuke started before Keiko's fist shot up and slammed into his face.

Yusuke went flying across the street and slammed into the building. He raised a hand to his sore cheek and mentally cursed himself. He shook his head to clear it and stared down the street after Keiko. The crowd was parting and she was stalking down the street, her hands clenching and unclenching.

"Uremeshi," Hiei looked over at him. "It amazes me that you win against demons when that female continues to beat you."

"Shut up Hiei," Yusuke muttered as he made his way out of the rubble of the wall. "I really don't want to hear from you right now."

"Hn." Hiei replied, his eyes fixed on Keiko's figure as she disappeared around the corner. A quick glance at Kurama had him heading after her, moving quickly to keep up.

"I do believe that you should not have upset her again," Kurama offered as Yusuke stood beside him and stared after Keiko.

"She takes things too seriously," Yusuke complained as he brushed at this clothing. "Besides there something going on with her."

"But what could it be?" Kurama asked as he stared at his friend.

"I don't know." Yusuke shrugged and started down the street.

"Where are you going?" Kurama asked.

"Where else?" Yusuke tossed over his shoulder as he continued down the street, "after Keiko."

Kurama stared after the boy walking down the street. Yusuke's shoulders were hunched and his hand stuffed deep into his pockets. The cocky attitude was gone for once as he moved through the crowd. The redheads green eyes narrowed worriedly as Yusuke disappeared around the corner.

"I don't like this," Botan spoke softly from beside Kurama.

"Neither do I," Kurama replied as he too began to follow his friend.

"I don't know what Yusuke would do if something was wrong with Keiko," Botan continued as she moved to keep up with Kurama. Her blue hair moved gently in the breeze as she looked over at the redhead.

Kurama looked down into Botan's eyes and tried to find something to say that would assure the grim reaper. Unfortunately, he could find nothing that would ease her fears. He was very much afraid that something had caused Keiko to doubt Yusuke's feelings. And whatever had done that was something so strong that Keiko wasn't attempting to hold Yusuke to her anymore. For as long as he could remember, the girl had been at the center of Yusuke's life. If she were to leave or if anything happened to her, Kurama was very much afraid that they would loose Yusuke. For now he could only hope that when Hiei caught up with her, he could get answers.

A/N: Another chapter done. More interaction between Yusuke and Keiko and a little more action. Let me know what you think. Next chapter should be up in a week.
