Shattered Soul

Part two

What will you do, when you find out that the love of your life never was the love you thought?

Will you cry?

What will you think, when you find out that the people you thought they stand for the good, really are the evil, and the bad are the good?

Will you accept it?

And, what will you do if you find out that everything you ever believed in is wrong and never were true from the first on?

Will you shatter like glass?

Or will you try to find your own way to deal with what ever will come out of this madness?

When Keiko closed the door to their apartment, she knew she was a different person that has gone out of the very same door just hours ago.

She could not stand it anymore, it was simply too much! First after that all she had tried to find out what on earth have happened to change all of her friends to her enemies. But no one would answer her questions.

Everyone who was her little world, where gone away in one single night!

Yusuke, gone mad,

Kazuma and his sister Shizuru, missing,

Genkay, dead,

Her parents, dead,

Kurama and his entire family, missing,

Yukina, missing,

Mushaorie city, a barren land filled with lower class daemons and

Koenma and Botan out of reach!

No one was back to tell the girl what was going on.

The only one she found to ask was Hiei.

Keiko found him standing near the old park he used to sleep then he served Koenma as a Reikei Tantei.

Standing between lots of other daemons, who where under his command, watching the burning city with cold emotionless eyes.

She where of the other side of the broken street, a deep cut was between them. Every other one where running away from the silent korime, away from his servants who killed everyone in reaches.

Silently she had gone right to the edge of the deep gash right into his sight to ask only one single word;

Why?

First he seems not to notice her, but then he took one swift jump over the gash right in front of her.

The others from his group disappeared into the streets behind them to kill more people, leaving the two alone.

He studied her a long time, and then his stoic mask turns suddenly into a soft and sad barely hinted smile.

"Sleep! "He only commanded in a, for him, unusual soft voice, then everything vanished from her sight.

Keiko found her self back into her apartment bed the next day. She never found out how she had come back here, but it doesn't matter any more. All she could do was to cry.

A few days later Botan came to tell her that Yusuke had become their enemy and the others as well. That Shizuru had gone into the underground to fight against the daemons and her brother too and that the barrier between the worlds where rebuild again but with big holes into it. They hoped to fix them into the next years and finally;

That Yusuke let tell her that he doesn't want Keiko as a mate any longer.

He would let her life in peace but he would not see her ever again.

Keiko's soul shattered at these harsh words into thousands of pieces, she never used the word Yusuke since then ever again.

Botan was swiftly away after she told the poor girl his words, also crying, she never came back to Keiko since then.

After endless nights of crying and hurt, Keiko became slowly a shadow of her old self.

She never tried to ask anyone again.

Two years past by and finally Keiko learned slowly to life again.

With the help from her friend Hinagiku and the work in her university she began slowly to reopen herself again and tried to life again. She found out that a many guys on her university tried to get her awareness but she dismissed them all and staid all alone.

Sometimes some of the yokai came through the open holes into the barrier to kill but never again they came near to her.

Until today she where left in peace.

Now back into her apartment, Keiko took her friend into her bed and took a long hot shower. Something back there at the school had changed.

She knew not exactly what or why but something deep inside her had changed.

She had changed.

Now standing under the shower, Keiko tried for the first time since then to get together what has happened two years ago.

Slowly the day before everything had changed came back to her memory.

Yukina and she had gone to the stores in town to by some clothes; nothing alerted them to what would happen the next day.

But was there really nothing?

Keiko suddenly remembered how sad the eyes of the ice maiden had looked then she thought nobody saw her. And how careful Yukina tried to made sure that Keiko never felt alone or bad for one single moment.

She must have known that something was about to happen!

And later that day, she had found Hiei staring at her and Yukina with a strange look into his eyes!

But Keiko has thought he looked after Yukina.

How could she have forgotten this? Yukina had tried to make her stay at Genkai´s but Keiko refused to stay because her mother was ill and she was needed at home.

When she had staid the night there she would not be here today Keiko concluded out of the blue.

But that doesn't explain why Yusuke had gone insane!

Wait, what had Botan told her?

She told her everything what happened to Genkay and that Kurama was missing, but not why!

Keiko suddenly felt the strong urge to find Shizuru and Kazuma, to ask the two Kuwabara siblings a few questions!

A few days later you could see a brunette woman going down on a small road.

The day was rainy and foggy, just as the thoughts of the slender female dressed in creamy brown clothes. She where going down the crushed roads right into the now dangerous district of Tokyo city where always yokai could come out of the nothing.

Keiko had heard from the old barman down town that Kazuma was seen here often, finish some of the lower classes up and fight against upper class yokai from time to time.

She was determined to find him and his sister!

To get her answers!
