YYF14: Hey, peoples! I was planning to wait until this afternoon, but I'm bored, so I figured I'd update now. Anyway, nothing much to say, so... here's chapter one! Oh, I forgot… disclaimer: I don't own anything 'cept DVDs. YYH belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi!
Yusuke POV
"Well, Dimwit? Are you ready for your training?"
I nodded. "Yeah, just one second." I turned back to face Koenma.
"Koenma? D'you want to train, too?"
He seemed surprised at the offer, but nodded. Genkai seemed mildly surprised, but didn't say anything on it, jumping right into the training.
---------
The training lasted a good four hours, and when we were done, I was exhausted. I could tell Koenma was, too, even if he wasn't showing it.
"Yusuke! Keiko is here!"
I froze, hearing Botan's shout. Keiko was here… That was a problem.
She stood at the doorway and waved. I sighed. I'd have to at least say hi to her… I started to walk over, but I hadn't gone more than a few steps before I turned around, hearing someone stumble.
"Koenma, you okay?" I went to his side, eyes filled with concern.
"K-chan, you're tired. You didn't have to do all four hours with me… You shouldn't have."
"I'll be fine, Yusuke."
I picked him up anyway, wincing inwardly at how light he was. It was easy to pick him up, and my body was beat. I was distracted from my thoughts when he started to blush.
"It's okay, K-chan, I don't mind."
By the time we had gotten to the door, I had forgotten Keiko was there.
"Yusuke? Why are you carrying your friend?"
I blinked, my cheeks turning pink. "Keiko…"
"Yusuke, I can walk on my own," Koenma insisted.
"No, you're too tired. I'll be right back, Keiko."
We entered Koenma's room and I laid him down on the bed. I turned back to face the door, but hesitated.
"Yusuke? Are you going to tell her?"
"I don't see any other choice, and I can't ask the others, they're probably asleep."
"But… what if she doesn't like it?"
I sighed. "I don't know. I don't like her that way anymore, and it's not either of our faults. I just hope this goes well… Don't move. I don't want you to waste your energy."
I got up and went outside, a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Koenma POV
Yusuke had been gone for about seven minutes, and I could tell from his feelings that it wasn't going too well with Keiko. A few minutes later, he entered the room, eyes downcast, hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Yusuke? How'd it go?" I asked uncertainly.
"Just fine." I could hear the hurt in his voice. I could tell he was lying.
"What did she say?"
He hung his head in shame, and I could see a few black and blue marks on his cheek. I made a move to stand up, but he shook his head.
"I'll be okay, K-chan. No big deal."
"Still, what did she say?"
"Well, when I told her we couldn't be boyfriend girlfriend anymore, she was shocked, of course, but… when I told her that I had a boyfriend, she kinda… snapped. I didn't tell her who, 'cause I didn't want her to hurt you. Now I think she's not gonna talk to me again."
I shook my head in disbelief. "Yu-chan… I'm sorry…" Old feelings sprung up again, but before anything could happen, Yusuke grabbed my wrist.
"No, Koenma! Snap out of it! It wasn't your fault!"
"Yusuke… I'm not trying to… You're hurting me."
"Oh. Sorry." Yusuke let go of my wrist, but still watched me carefully.
"I'm sorry, Yusuke. You're having enough problems with Keiko."
I could see the hurt in his eyes as he remembered what had happened. She must have been hitting really hard to make that dark a mark. I could feel that Yusuke needed someone right now, so I pulled him into a hug. He held onto me, burying his face into my shoulder, and I could feel him start to cry.
"It'll be okay, Yusuke… It'll be okay…"
YYF14: Aw, poor Yu-chan... Oh, this whole story won't be in first person. It gets hard after a bit. I'll probably either update later today or tommorow. Summer gives you too much time sometimes. Ja ne till next chapter!
