YYF14: Well, I WAS going to wait until Monday, but I got a real big inspiration, so I started writing, and so here this is. Hope you guys like it, just one thing. Enma's gonna be WAY out of character. He doesn't have a huge part in the show so far as what I've seen, so it's kinda hard to keep him in a definite perspective. So I'm just gonna make him the kind of person who hates boy/boy. Now, on with the disclaimer.

Yusuke-clone: She doesn't own anything'cept DVDs and cards.

YYF14: Quite right. Now, on withthe story!

Chapter 1: Intro/ Yusuke and Keiko's Moment

"Now that that's over with, we need to talk about you, son. I assume I am correct in saying that you did not eat this week?"

Koenma nodded sullenly.

"Why?"

"None of your business."

"Insolence!"

Enma swiped his hand in Koenma's direction, making a cut appear on Koenma's left cheek. He then swiped it in another direction, deepening the cut.

Koenma winced, putting a hand over the cut. When he looked at his hand, there was a red blotch. His blood.

"Dad? Why?"

"Because you were being disrespectful. Now go back to work."

They heard a knock at the door, and Kiara entered.

"Um… Enma-sama? Are you alright?" she asked timidly. She knew to be afraid of Enma when he was angry.

"Yes, Kiara. I'm just a little stressed today."

Enma left the room, and when he was out of sight, Kiara looked at Koenma.

"You okay? I know that your dad didn't take the news well."

Koenma sighed. "Yeah, he sent Yusuke back to Ningenkai."

Kiara sighed. "I wish him luck. Botan told me about his mom."

Koenma nodded. As he turned to leave, Kiara frowned.

"Koenma? Why do you have a cut on your cheek?"

Koenma shrugged. "No reason."

Kiara rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right."

Koenma wiped the blood off of his cheek and walked over to the door.

"Sorry, Kiara, but I've got to get back to work."

"'Kay, see you."

As Koenma left the room, Kiara shook her head.

"Something is definitely up with him."

--------------------------------------------------------

Yusuke found himself standing under a tree in the park near his house.

He growled, punching the tree before remembering that arm was broken.

He moaned, writhing in pain for a few seconds, before becoming still, his rib now stinging.

"I need Botan…" he muttered, reaching into his pocket for the compact.

As he was about to open it, a golden blur jumped in front of him, and the compact disappeared.

"What the-? Give me that!" Yusuke yelled, jumping up.

The golden blur stopped moving, and Yusuke's eyes widened. It was Hiokami! (A:N: Yup, he's back!)

"I thought you were dead!" he snapped.

Hiokami chuckled. "Well, it seems that you thought wrong."

"What do you want?" Yusuke asked irritably.

Hiokami's face turned serious.

"I am no longer your enemy, Spirit Detective. I have come to tell you that your friend is in danger."

"If you aren't my enemy, then why'd you take my communicator?"

Hiokami handed back the compact.

"I needed to get your attention. I repeat: your friend is in danger."

Yusuke frowned. "Who?"

But before Hiokami could respond, another voice was heard.

"Yusuke!"

Hiokami disappeared, and Yusuke looked to the side, Keiko coming into view.

"Uh, hey Keiko, what're you doing here?"

"Just going for a walk since it's not snowing," Keiko replied. "I haven't seen you for a while. Where've you been?"

"In Reikai. I had some… things to attend to."

"Okay. Yusuke, do you want to come over to my place and hang out or something?"

Yusuke hesitated. Before his mother had started… that… Keiko had been acting more 'lovey-dovey' towards Yusuke. And that was a problem now, considering Yusuke liked Koenma. He wondered how Keiko would take the news. Yusuke liked a boy now, and didn't want Keiko to stop being friends with him over something so stupid.

"Well, Yusuke?"

"Uh… sure."

'STUPID, Yusuke! You have two broken bones, AND you have nowhere to live! You could have said 'maybe later', and gotten Botan to heal you first!'

While he was thinking this, he had been following Keiko back to the diner.

"So, what're we going to do?" Yusuke asked once they had gotten up to Keiko's room.

Keiko shrugged. "Hang out."

They sat in silence for a few moments, Keiko just looking at Yusuke. Finally, she sighed. "Yusuke, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Yusuke, I can tell something's wrong."

Yusuke thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Keiko, do you know why I was in Reikai?"

"No, you didn't say."

"Well, my mom had some… issues, so I had to live in Reikai. But I got kicked out, and I can't go back to my mom, so I've got nowhere to live."

"I'm so sorry, Yusuke. But I can tell there's more."

"Well… I have a broken rib and arm," Yusuke said sullenly, nodding at his right arm.

"Hmm… would a kiss make you feel better?" Keiko asked shyly.

Yusuke's eyes widened. "Keiko…"

Keiko, who had taken Yusuke's reaction completely the opposite of what Yusuke had been thinking, leaned closer to Yusuke, her eyes closed.

Yusuke leaned backward, making Keiko move closer. Finally Yusuke put a hand between himself and Keiko.

"Keiko, I can't kiss you!"

Keiko opened her eyes and blinked.

"Why not?"

Yusuke bit his lip. "I… can't tell you."

"Yusuke, please! If you can't do something, I want to know why!"

Yusuke looked down.

"I'm… I'm in love with Koenma."

Yusuke clenched his eyes shut, not wanting to see Keiko's reaction.

"…Yusuke? Are you serious?"

Yusuke nodded hesitantly. "I'm sorry, Keiko."

"I'm not mad, Yusuke. I could tell you weren't in love with me a long time ago. You can stay here until you find another place to live."

Yusuke opened his eyes. "Really? Thanks, Keiko!"

Keiko smiled. "Now, how about we call Botan so she can fix you up?"

Yusuke nodded, taking the compact out of his pocket.

"Botan? I'm at Keiko's. Can you come over?"

Botan nodded. "In a minute. I have to fix something up for Koenma first."

Yusuke nodded, closing the compact.

"Thanks again, Keiko. I have no clue what I'd be doing right now if I wasn't here."

"Freezing your butt off. It's cold out there."

Yusuke chuckled.

----

When Botan came in, she sat down on the bed next to Yusuke and Keiko and sighed.

"What did you have to do for Koenma?" Yusuke asked.

"He had this cut. It covered his whole cheek, and it was deep, too. Wouldn't tell me how he got it, though."

Yusuke frowned. "He didn't?"

Botan shook her head. "No. It stung a lot when I was healing it, he said… So, what was it that you wanted?"

"Yusuke has a broken arm and rib," Keiko explained. "Can you help?"

Botan nodded, and put a hand on each injury. There was a small cracking sound, and Yusuke grinned, flexing his arm.

"That feels great! Thanks, Botan!"

Botan smiled. "No problem."

YYF14: So, how'd you like? I wrote parts of this on Thanksgiving, while listening to 'Alice's Resturaunt'. That's a pretty good song, but it's twenty-some minutes long and I heard it three times. - -# Oh well.

Yusuke-clone: Three times? Creepy.

Koenma-clone: Agreed.

YYF14: Oi... Readers, review if you wish, and I'll try to update soon.
