Chapter 8

Keiko currently sat at home waiting for Hiei's arrival. "Mother is something on your mind?" Kira asked walking over to her.

"No nothing…" She whispered.

Her eyes stared out the window, as she sat there hoping that everything would go well. It's been hours since the battle, and she was tired.  But waiting for Hiei is what kept her awake.

A knock was then heard, disturbing Keiko's thoughts. "I'll get that." She stated walking towards the door. "Hello?"

"Keiko you're okay!" Yusuke stated relieved. He quickly embraced the young girl and held her tightly as if at any second she was going to vanish.

"Yes Yusuke I'm okay…"

"Why didn't you tell me anything about this time shit…you could've gotten yourself killed!" He scolded her.

Keiko glared at him, he sounded like her father he had no right to scold her that way.

"I'm alive there's no reason to worry anymore…"

"But Keiko you were an idiot to not tell me, all this would have been prevented…"

Keiko looked at him and slowly took a step back.

"You didn't think that I could actually handle the situation did you…?"

"Of course not Keiko…you're only human…" He stated, running a hand through his hair.

"And you're not, Hiei supported me all the way…of course he didn't say it, but I knew inside he did!" She yelled out.

"What does Hiei have to do with this?" He shouted

"Everything…" She whispered looking down.

She slowly made her way to the window, looking out. The moonlight hit her face showing her beautiful eyes. Yusuke took in her beauty, and walked towards her hugging her tightly.

"Keiko, what has gotten into you, I was only worried about you…"

"Don't hug me…" She whispered.

"What?" He asked surprised.

"Yusuke don't act stupid…you know you don't love me…" She mumbled, looking at him.

"But of course I do, where are you getting all this from…"

"I've seen the way you look at Botan…you have feelings for her as well…"

Yusuke looked at her, his eyes showing anger. "Keiko I don't know what's wrong with you…don't you want to be with me!" He shouted.

"That's the hard part, no…" She whispered.

He took a step back his eyes wide with sorrow. "What do you mean…"

"I'm sorry, but I'm trying to put this all one you, trying to make it look like our break up is all your fault…but I can't it's mine…Yusuke I'm sorry I can't be with you…" She said, looking up at him.

Yusuke glared at her. "Are you kidding me?"

"No I'm not…"

"How could you do this to me!" he yelled stepping closer to her. Bye now their faces were inches apart.

Kira stood there frightened of the silence that had fell upon them.

"I thought you loved me…" He hissed.

"Yusuke I did, but you were never there…you were always on missions, running off, getting yourself killed…and you never returned home and spend time with me!" She shouted.

"Keiko you have to understand…"

"Oh I understand, what I don't understand is how Hiei makes the time to help me when you don't…"

"Hiei is that it, he's the one who's taking you away from me…" He stated stomping off.

Keiko slid down from the wall meeting the floor, tears stained her face.

"I didn't want to hurt his feeling like that…" She whispered, as she heard the door being slammed.

"Mama, don't worry…"

Just then footsteps were heard nearing her small body. "Who's there!" Kira shouted stepping in front of her mother.

"It's just me little Kira…" Hiei stated kneeling down.

"Hiei…" Keiko whispered happily, wiping her tears away.

"Keiko don't cry, you look even more beautiful when you're happy, don't cry unwanted tears…" He soothed, wiping her tears away.

"Oh Hiei!" She cried hugging him tightly.

"Calm down…"

"Now to leave these two alone…" Kira smiled running off to Keiko's room.

"Now what's the problem?" He asked, leading her to the sofa.

"Don't act like you don't know…" Keiko laughed.

"Yeah…I know"

"Hiei why did everything go so wrong I didn't mean to hurt his feelings, things just happened."

"I know…"

Hiei looked at her sadly and put his arm around her for comfort. "Keiko don't worry you don't need him…" He whispered.

"But he's my best friend…I'm sorry Hiei but I need to apologize…"

"You're to good for your own good…" He stated smirking

 Keiko slowly got up as she headed to the door.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To patch things up with…"

"No not today…" He whispered pulling her down on his lap.

"Huh…"

He slowly leaned towards her as they met nose to nose. "Keiko do you love me…?" He asked his eyes never leaving hers. Keiko stared into his beautiful crimson eyes and slowly smiled.

"I will always love you"

"I thought so…" He smiled. He leaned in for the kiss only to meet her palm of the hand.

"Hold on, do you love me?" She asked.

"Always will" He stated moving her hand out of the way.

He then kissed her passionately, the two sat there entranced in their kiss. Keiko reluctantly pulled away for air and looked at him.

"How did this happen?" She asked laughing.

"It was destiny…" He smiled kissing her again.

"Yeah, everything is going out great!" Kira laughed looking at the pair downstairs.

"But there's still a problem, Yusuke isn't going down without a fight…" Kira whispered her smile turning into a frown.

"Hiei do you think everything is over…?" Keiko asked looking up at him.

"No…it's just beginning"

They both looked out the window watching the starting storm began. Each raindrop hit the roof with a thud as lightning sparked the darkness. 

Keiko slowly walked towards the window sticking her arm out.

"The rain feels so cold…" She stated.

"Yes it is…" Hiei said waking towards her.

He placed his hand over hers as the rain dripped down both hands.

"Thank you Hiei, I'm not alone…" Keiko whispered leaning on his chest.

"And neither am I…" He smiled wrapping an arm around her.

The two stood there in each other's arms as they watched the rain fall, each waiting for the future ahead of them.
