Disclaimer: I do not own YuYuHaku Sho although I would love to! Do you know what a beautiful series I would make with it? I would get ideas from all of you and together we could all make the greatest YuYuHaku Sho series ever! Sadly…I don't own it…so it can't be done.
Hiei: That stupid Saomi…I should kill her.
Yusuke: That'll make two of us! She ruined our great time with Keiko and Botan.
Botan+laughing+ calm down you guys!
Keiko: Yes! It's only a story and she's a character in my story so you can't kill her!
Yusuke and Hiei: Wanna Bet?
Keiko: Hmm…That sounds a lot like my other story that I'm writing.
Botan: Oh yes everyone Keiko has written one other that's called I Bet You Couldn't Live Without Me! Wanna Bet? So if you would like to please check it out!
Keiko: And now onto our story…down boys.
Before You Say No Think Of What You Might LoseCh.3 All Winter Vacation…
The Girls POVYes, all winter vacation…it was all winter vacation non-stop. All winter vacation we hadn't caught but a simple
smile from our best friends. We had asked them to the movies, countless of times, but they always had the same
response to each and every one of them "No", or "I'm too busy". Botan and I tried to ignore it, but things just
kept getting worse and it was all because of this one mysterious girl that we had not once yet saw. Yes, it was
the worst winter vacation yet and now it was over. School was back, and this would probably be the first time
that we'd see the boys in a long time now. Our feelings never changed for the boys which I am sure theirs never
changed as well, but their was a rift planted in each of our hearts and we all knew if we but looked at each
other once, our world would collapse within us.
Yes, it was time we woke up early in the morning, take a shower, brush our teeth, comb our hair, eat breakfast,
and head to school. It was just one of those days, one of those days but this time we wouldn't be able to share
one of those days anymore. We now had to carry them inside of us with not one to help us carry it as we once
had.

The Boys POVAll winter long…not once had we seen their beautiful faces to lighten up our darkened days. Not once had we
gone with them, gone to them. Not once had we but visited. We had stuff to do, we had—the point is it's our
fault. We let our best friends down, and we knew it. For all we knew they could've been terribly injured but
we'd be too stupid partying at some fancy party. Today, would be the first time in a long time that we would
see them, but it hurt deep inside. We knew we wouldn't be able to lay our eyes on their elegant composure.
We didn't deserve to. It was as if we were pushed apart and now we will never be the same again, for all we
know we may have lost the most imporant thing in our life, and that wasn't worth losing.
What if we lost them to someone else?

"Come on Botan let's go! Bye mom!" Keiko smirked while she held her toast tightly between her teeth. "Alright
I am coming!" She yelled and swung her bookbag over her shoulder. "Bye girls have a nice school day. Aren't
you going to wait for the boys to walk you to school? In fact what happened to them we haven't seem them in a
long time." Our mom said as worry spread across her face. A crease flashed into the girls' hearts. Both cringed
at the hearing of the boys. Keiko just shook her head silently. "It doesn't matter mom it doesn't matter anymore
the boys are gone. They aren't coming back, never, it's over." She squeaked and let a pearly tear fall from her
eye. Keiko pulled Botan out the door and tried to smile. "Don't worry Botan, we don't need them." She
smiled, Botan nodded. Keiko let her heart sink and silently walked along the now sunny lit streets. Their mom
watched silently as the girls walked down the street, and yet in the sunny light a dark broken aura surrounded
the girls. "What's going on?" She wondered.

"Hey guys lets get to school, after school I have this great party that I'd love it if you came." A dark haired girl
grinned. The boys both silently nodded and began to walk down the street, they too looked gloomy and down.
The girl watched them walk down the street and she roughly pulled on her hair. 'What is wrong with them! Why
do they have to be so down when they aren't with the girls! Why can't they just forget them! Never mind! No
matter I will have them to myself anyway.' She thought and placed her grin on her face again and hopped in
between them. "Yusuke? Hiei?" She purred sweetly. "What?" They both asked dryly not even looking at her.
They both felt down they just didn't know why, who would have thought that their smile was only brought to
them when they were close by to their best friends. No, perhaps x-best friends. "You two seem down whats
the matter? Can I help in some way? I am just so worried about you two." She said placing a fake worried
expression across her wicked face. That was not the face they wanted to see, images of two beautiful girls
laughter pressed against them. "Keiko." Yusuke silently whispered and held his fists tightly. "I can't live without
her."Hiei suddenly said out loud. "She's in my dreams for goodness sake!" Hiei growled clearly referring to
Botan. "What can we do, we lost them, I know we did! I never wanted to admit but I lo-." Yusuke couldn't
finish the rest. Both angrily pounded against the brick wall causing their knuckles to glow white and make
crimson blood pour out and splatter across the pavement. 'Those wenches.' Saomi cursed under her breath.
"Stop that!" "No way!" Both boys turned hearing two familiar girlish laughs. There a hazel eyed goddess
laughed while being tickled to death by a baby blue haired angel. "Botan please!" Keiko cried out on the school
grounds. "Alright, alright." Botan giggled. Both boys mouths dropped as they studied their best friends who
most definitely changed in their own way. Botan swiveled her hair in her hands and pulled her bags to her body
that was covered in a blue denim jean skirt and a pink halter top. Keiko leaned against the school walls
revealing that she was wearing blue denim shorts and a golden tang top.
Boys had begun to crowd around the girls, they all began to talk to the girls hoping they could get in since they
knew that their best friends were no longer there to beat them up for just glancing at the girls. Yusukes eyes
blared holes while Hieis fists burned. Suddenly, Hiei snapped out of his trance and placed his hand onto
Yusukes clenched fists. "Let it go." He merely and yet firmly said. "What? What do you mean let it go? Those
guys are practicly staring down their body." Yusuke growled looking in disbelief both at Hiei and then at the
crowd of boys. "Well, if I don't remember Yusuke, we are no better." Hiei shot out, burning into both their
souls and forming a darkened wound that hurt more than any mere punch.
Yusuke shamefully turned around and dropped his fists. Hiei was right they were no better, they were the girls'
best friends, and they had betrayed them. Many would love to be the girls' best friends, all respected and
honored them for both their looks and their shining hearts. But, none other than the disrespectful and rude rebels
of the school, had captured their hearts. To the girls though, they felt lucky to have the attention of the two most
annoying humans (or whatever they were) on earth. They loved the boys with all their heart, no one could make
them laugh, smile, or grin in mischief, no one could but Yusuke and Hiei.
"Keiko, I am so sorry, I am so sorry." Yusuke lulled himself, as he watched the two girls walk into the building.
"We better get to class, then we will discuss on how we are going to win them back." Hiei said seriously.
Yusuke perked his head up, "Win them back?" He questioned. "You know, get them back to us, have them in
our arms, be perverted little morons to them, that type of stuff." Hiei grinned his crimson eyes dancing in a
flame. Yusuke couldn't help but smile, laugh, and then grin, "Hiei, you just are one to be stubborn, I agree,
we're going to get them back." He smiled triumphantly, as both walked in feeling now a sense of pride in them.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, even with my riches they don't even notice me. Why? What is so special about them?
What? Am I missing something that they have?" Saomi bitterly muttered to herself as she watched the boys
walk into the school. "I will get you even if I have to kill you, Keiko and Botan Yukimura. Oh just wait." She
laughed and paced her way into the now darkened school.

Keiko and Botan waited quietly at their homeroom seats, watching all that filled the classroom. For some odd
reason they found themselves staring, waiting, watching, for the two rebels of the school, they wanted-no
needed- to see them and make sure that they were still alive. They wondered how much they have grown, if
they were still the same, and if they stell held that good-natured prideful smile that made their hearts melt. It was
as if it were fate because as soon as they both thought of that the two punks walked in clearly exhausted.
"Speak of the devil." Both girls breathed, but did not hear the other say it. "See man I told you I'd beat you."
Yusuke breathed. "Not really, I was walking while you were running, do the math Yusuke…oh but wait you
are too stupid to do so." Hiei laughed as Yusuke raised a fist to his friend, when they both noticed the two
angelic faces that watched them with curiousity. Both boys' mouths fell open and whispered each girl's name
lightly. (Can't you imagine that? That is so cute!) Their eyes got caught onto one others, hazel meeting
chocolate, and pink clashing crimson. Those eyes hadn't met in a long time, and at this moment it was all too
much bear. Instantly the girls tore their gaze off and turned in their seat, trying to make it look as if nothing had
ever happened, and for that matter that they didn't even notice the boys were in the room.
"Hiei, we've done it we really lost them and their trust." Yusuke scowered at his hands, feeling helpless and
weak. "Botan." Was all Hiei could breathe, when the teacher ran in the class with a cloud of papers flying about
as he ran around the classroom. "Alright everyone! I have your seating plan so look at this paper and find your
seat!" He said aloud and threw down the piece of paper that had a series of pictures and lettering marked all
across it. "Botan, you sit in back of me!" Keiko laughed and gave her a high five. "Of course I do! We're
sisters with the same last name!" Botan giggled and ran off with Keiko by her side, to sit in their now chosen
seats. Yusuke and Hiei slowly approached the piece of paper and slowly scanned it until they saw just exactly
where they were sitting. It was almost like magic because where they sat was none other than beside the ones
they so loved. The desks were connected two by two for the partners and who would of thought that Yusuke
and Keiko and Hiei and Botan would be partners. It gave the boys goosebumps as they walked to their seats
but it was ten times worse when the girls saw the boys eyes fixed on the seats beside them. 'I can't face him, I
can't go away Yusuke.' Keiko thought as if she were about to faint. Botan gulped and gave a nervous smile to
Keiko. 'This can't be happening it's just our luck.'
'Come on Keiko pull yourself together nothing has changed between the two of you. He is still your best friend
you know everything about him. You always wait for him to act stupid so you can correct him and look at him
laugh. You would want him to sit next to you!' Keiko thought as almost tears began to sparkle through her torn
eyes. She felt a gentle hand resting on her shoulder. "Keiko, it's going to be fine…even if they did ignore us and
avoid us, they are stupid and our only best friends we'll ever have." Botan barely whispered out of her mouth
when she just tottally broke down and placed her head against the desk so she could cry silently. (HIEI HOW
COULD YOU MAKE BOTAN CRY!)
Yusuke walked slowly up to the seat he was to sit in making sure to avoid eye contact with Keiko. He quietly
sat down beside her and just stared about the desk finding every smooth rift of it very interesting. Wouldn't
you? The whole while Hiei cheaply grunted and crashed his chair open so he could sit. He didn't even notice
Botan's tear stained face. "Alright everyone grab a pencil from the tops of your desks and grab some white
lined paper.
Keiko and Yusuke both absent mindedly headed to grab the exact same pencil when instead their hands briefly
touched sending electricity to run through their body. "I" "Urgh" "Sorry" They both finally said. Yusuke briefly
pushed the pencil to her, "You can have it." He insisted and grabbed one of the other pencils.
Meanwhile, Botan and Hiei were having a staring contest at the white lined paper. Both kept looking from the
persons eye to the paper. Botan grabbed one, while Hiei stared and growled stubbornly, "I wanted that one."
Silently Botan shoved it to him and grabbed another. At that moment Hiei grabbed her piece and switched it
with the one he had. "Making me feel guilty." He bluntly whispered almost making Botan want to smile and hug
him.
'This is going to be so hard.' All four thought and silently sighed.
The winter vacation had finally ended and now it brought the true task.
Could the closest friends survive the school year as partners?
