Chapter 4 "Keiko's Trial"
The next morning, Keiko went to Kuramas' house to seek help with the "Hiei and Botan" issue. When she got there the whole gang was there…. except Botan. "Hey Keiko" Kurama said in a cheery voice. Keiko just looked at Hiei in a daze. "Um…Keiko? Are you…okay?" Kurama said while waving his hand in front of her face. "How could you be so uncaring!" Keiko yelled with tears in her eyes. Hiei did nothing. "Wait, what the HELL IS GOING ON!" Yusuke yelled very confused. "Um…Nothing…" Keiko said quietly. "No…something is wrong…cuz you won't be crying if nothing was." Yusuke said looking her in the eyes. "Oh! I wish I could tell you!" Crying she pushed him away and ran out the door. "Sorry guys. Bye." Yusuke yelled running after her.
When he finally caught up he grabbed her shoulder and made her turn around. "Keiko…what's wrong?" Yusuke asked quietly while shaking her to get attention. "I'm sorry Yusuke but I promised." "Promised who?" "I can't tell you. I promised her" "her? Do you mean Botan?" Keiko just stood there crying. "What happened to Botan and why does it deal with Hiei?" "I can't tell you…SOB" Yusuke hugged her trying to get her to stop crying. (I hope Botan is okay…it has to be serious if Keiko is crying this bad.) Yusuke gave her a kiss on the forehead and wiped her tears.
Later that day after Yusuke took Keiko home and bought her an ice cream sundae, he went back to Kurama' house to see if Hiei was still there. "Hey Kurama where's Hiei?" "Oh he left saying he had some unfinished business to attend to." "Did he say where?" "Sorry, I told you every thing he said. Why do you ask?" "I don't know its just Keiko was crying and it had something to do with Botan." "So what does that have to do with Hiei?" "Remember when Koenma was looking for her and then said something about Hiei?" "Yeah…I see where you're going." Kurama smiled. "Well, there's nothing I can do now until Hiei or Keiko says something." "Yeah…" Kurama agreed as they walked to the couch to watch T.V.
