Chapter 36: The Flickering Candle of Love
After much persuasion (and time) Yuskee finally calmed Keiko down and explained to her that Laura was part of an important new case. They sat in Keiko's living room.
"So, you need a place to stay while you're in town, right?" Keiko asked Laura.
"If its not too much trouble." Laura said, bowing her head.
"No, its fine. You can stay in the guest room." Keiko said smiling. She stood. "Come on, I'll show you the room."
Laura smiled and followed the girl upstairs, leaving Yuskee and the boys in the living room.
~*~*~*
Laura walked behind Keiko. "I really appreciate you're letting me stay here."
"Don't mention it. So, what kind of case are you involved with?" Keiko asked.
"Oh, well. Yuskee and his friends have agreed to help me defeat this really evil criminal that has appeared in your town. Also, they are trying to find a way to get me back to my hometown safely."
Keiko nodded in understanding. "Do you have any idea how long you'll be working here?"
"It depends." Laura said sadly. Then wanted desperately to change the subject. "So, you and Yuskee must be really tight."
Keiko stopped and blushed. "Um, I dunno, you might could say we're close friends, but that's as far as it goes."
Laura looked at her. "Don't you like him?"
Keiko blushed darker, giving Laura her answer.
"Well then, why haven't you two gotten together?"
Keiko looked away. "He doesn't feel the same way."
Laura looked shocked. "That's not true. I've seen the way he looks at you, the way he speaks to you. His feelings are well-hidden, but there." She said.
She looked at Laura. "You think so?" Laura nodded. Keiko giggled. "Thanks, maybe, there is hope for us after all."
~*~*~*
Yuskee sat and waited for the girls to return. "Why is everyone making me wait? What is this, the national waiting day?" He said frustrated.
"So, how long before we see that monster again do you think?" Kurabara asked.
"How am I supposed to know?!" Yuskee snapped.
"It won't be long." Hiei said.
"He's probably lying a trap for us. We have to be prepared." Kurama said.
Just them, Yuskee's mirror communicator beeped. He flipped it out, just as the two girls walked back into the room.
"Yeah, what is it?" He asked.
"Yuskee, there is a new enemy downtown, you and the others have to get down here quick before he turns all of downtown into scrap!" Botan said from the other side of the mirror.
Yuskee snapped the mirror shut. "Well, whoever's coming, come on." He got up and walked to the door. Everyone but Keiko followed him.
"Be careful Yuskee!" She said.
Yuskee turned to face her. "Don't worry, we'll be back before nightfall."
~*~*~*
Saggitus watched from the shadows as Laura and the boys left the house, heading towards the demon he had set loose on the town. "Perfect." He smiled evilly. "Soon, this will all be over!" He watched as the group disappeared down the street.
'Time to work.' He looked at the house they had just left. The girl sat in the living room, reading a book.
~*~*~*
Keiko sat, totally engrossed by the novel she read. "And at the girl walked to her window, which was being tapped upon. She opened it, her one true love stood there, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. 'I had to see you again.' He said as he brought her into a passionate kiss." Keiko sighed and closed the book.
"How romantic."
Taptaptap
Keiko turned to the window. A shadowy figure stood there tapping. Her heart fluttered. "Yuskee."
She hurried to the window and opened it.
Strong hands clasped over her mouth and drug her through the window.
"You will prove useful, girl."
Keiko looked at her captor, he had short mint green hair. A tear rolled down Keiko's cheek.
'Yuskee, where are you?'
