YYF14: Okay, I hope you guys like this chapter. It's pretty long. Hikaru, thanks for reviewing- the pink and white was mentioned in chapter 9 of the last story. However, since you guys probably don't want to go check, pink means love, and white means pleasure, so put them together, and basically you have an aroused guy. No wonder Yusuke's embarrassed. Now, about this chapter. Since there's a lot of talking with the link, the text between the dashes is the speech. That much italics would drive me crazy. However, the italics here areeitherthinking, or for emphasis.Okay, enough talking- onto the chapter!
Koenma looked a little nervous. "A-are you better now?"
"Yeah, I am. And don't worry about it. It's not a big deal."
"But what are you going to do if it happens again?"
"Exactly what I just did. But, I am hoping it doesn't happen again. It's cold in there!"
Koenma stayed silent for a moment. "…But isn't that the point?"
"K-chan!"
"Sorry. But still, why'd it happen?"
Yusuke blushed and stayed silent. He couldn't tell Koenma why, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to tell him about what they had to do-
Stop! Don't think about that! That's what got this started in the first place!
Yusuke hit himself in the head. "Stupid Yusuke!"
"Yusuke? Are you okay?"
"I hope so…" I think I may start having to live in the lake… This is harder than I thought… "Just… don't talk about the end of the year, okay?"
"Yusuke, is there something you're not telling me?"
Yusuke hesitated, trying to keep his mind still. It was embarrassing, especially because he couldn't say why. It wasn't his fault… he hoped.
"Yusuke? Is it about me?"
"…Kinda."
Koenma paused for a moment, then sat next to Yusuke, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yusuke, it's okay."
Yusuke tensed. "No, it's not. Koenma… I don't want to do something I'll regret… Don't touch me…"
Koenma could hear the pleading in Yusuke's voice, so he moved away.
"Yusuke…"
No, I don't want to… Yusuke did his best to rebel against what his body was telling him, but it was too strong.
I'm sorry, K-chan… I tried…
Koenma was aware of Yusuke kissing him, but the feeling was all wrong. There was a frantic feeling to it- there was no happiness like there usually was. He did his best to give Yusuke was he wanted, however. He had a feeling that Yusuke needed it.
-No, K-chan, don't! It's not me!-
Koenma pulled back startled, and Yusuke moaned.
-Thanks, K-chan. It was getting hard to think.-
-How come you're only making sense when you talk like this?-
-I don't know! There's something wrong with me! One second…-
Yusuke stayed silent for a moment, physically and mentally, then sighed in relief.
"Okay, I think I'm in control now. Good. I need to find a way that I can tell you what's going on without anyone else being able to know what I'm saying."
He paused, then blinked. "I think I got it. We can use the colors as a code or something. This can be 'white problem,' okay? It makes sense…" He trailed off, blushing.
"Sure. 'White problem.' Just remember to warn me in the future, okay? That felt weird."
"Sorry. I really don't know what's going on."
"Are you sure it's not just a being a teenager thing?"
Yusuke blushed and shook his head. "I already went through that, and this isn't even me. This just takes over my thinking…"
"Maybe we're just thinking this through too much."
"Maybe."
There was silence for a few moments, then Yusuke got up and started walking in the direction of the forest.
"Where are you going?"
"To the forest. I'm bored, and it's the weekend, so we don't have to be anywhere."
"…I'm coming with you. Dumbledore said that it was forbidden, though…"
"Ah, who cares? We can take care of ourselves, K-chan."
Koenma followed Yusuke into the forest, but couldn't shake off a bad feeling; however, it wasn't from the forest that the feeling was from.
-----
Yusuke went a few minutes into the forest, then stopped and put his hands up in Spirit Gun position. He shot three short shots in a row, and watched them, smiling, as they flew into each other and lit up the sky for a second. He walked over to Koenma, who was sitting next to a tree, and sat as well.
"Cool, huh?" Yusuke said, putting his arms behind his head.
"Yeah… you've gotten better, haven't you?" Koenma asked, turning to face him.
"I think I have… K-chan? Are you upset because of what's been going on?"
Koenma frowned. "Why would I be? It's strange, yes, but I'm not going to get upset and leave you, if that's what you mean. You're not Sensui. I'll be fine. I trust you."
Yusuke smiled, closing his eyes. "Thanks, K-chan. That means a lot."
"…Yusuke? You're fully in control now, right?"
"I think so. Why?"
Koenma didn't respond, choosing instead to put an arm around Yusuke's shoulders and pull him closer.
"Yusuke… I know it's only a week into the school year, but I feel mostly safe from Sensui now. I'm not worried that something like what happened in that place will happen again. I think that it's mostly because of you. Even though all this stuff has been happening, it's not enough to scare me as much as it would before."
"I'm glad. You really made me worry back then, but now I feel like it's going to be all right. I just hope that whatever is doing this to me can stop. It's annoying to not know when your body is gonna do that to you."
"I was thinking about that. Yusuke, I have an idea of what's going on, and I want to know if I'm right. Do you know if you can trigger that problem on purpose?"
Yusuke blushed. "Why? It… it feels really weird, and I don't like it…"I don't want to hurt you…
"Yusuke, you don't have to worry. Just for a minute, and if I'm right, I think I know what to do. Just try and keep in touch through the link and don't pay attention to your body. Okay?"
Yusuke took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay. I hope you know what you're doing."
"I hope I do, too. Now do it. Think of something you know will bring up the feeling."
"This feels so wrong…" Yusuke did as he was told, however, a dark blush coming to his face. "O-okay, I think it's working-…"
-Well, I can't feel my body anymore. K-chan, I really hope you know what you're doing.-
-You haven't moved yet. I'm not worried. You mean you can't feel your body at all?-
-Nope. I'm kinda glad, too. I don't like feeling that way.-
-Feeling like what? I never got that part of it.-
-Feeling like I can't control myself and I'll do something I'll regret because of what my body wants.-
-I'm sorry. What did you think of, anyway?-
-K-chan! I don't want to think about it!-
Yusuke didn't know why he was so nervous about thinking about it, but he didn't like being nervous. He was seriously starting to think that he and Koenma were switching places, in a way.
-I'm sorry, Yusuke. I wasn't trying to make you upset. Can you see anything?-
-Hmm… I dunno, my eyes are closed… Huh?-
Koenma felt a scared feeling come through the link, and frowned. -Yusuke? What's wrong?-
-I can't see! And I can't move!-
-Yusuke, calm down. You're just not in your body. You probably can move, but it's not in the way that you're used to. Just relax, and it might get easier.-
-That doesn't solve the sight problem!-
-Just relax, and do it gently. Try it, at least.-
A few seconds of silence passed, and the scared feeling went away.
-Okay, I can see. Doesn't look right, though, and I don't know where I am.-
-Yes, you do. You're here. I can sense you. Picture yourself here, and it might go right.-
-Do you know what's going on? 'Cause you're giving pretty good advice.-
-Oh, so you can see me now?-
-Yeah. Can you see me?-
-No, but I can sense you. And as for your other question, it happened to me once, when I was learning how to do that teleporting thing. Botan helped me through it, actually. Oh, you're moving.-
-Be careful, K-chan.-
Koenma watched Yusuke's body carefully. He didn't know if he was right, but if he was, then he might be able to help Yusuke. If not… then they were in trouble. He moved a few feet away and watched Yusuke "wake up."
Yusuke opened his eyes and looked around, gaze falling on Koenma. He smiled slightly and moved closer. Koenma could feel the real Yusuke tense.
-It's okay, Yusuke. I know what I'm doing.-
-Yeah, but I wish I knew what I'm doing. I don't know if I can stay out of there for long enough. It's starting to feel really weird again.-
Koenma looked over at the place where he sensed Yusuke, a concerned look on his face. -Yusuke, maybe you should go back into your body. I don't want to hurt you with this. I don't know if humans should be out of their bodies for too long.-
-No, I don't feel hurt or anything, but I'm starting to feel the- K-chan! Move!-
Koenma looked back at Yusuke's body, but it was too late to move. Yusuke was on top of him, pinning him down.
-K-chan… I think I'm starting to feel it… I'm losing it…-
-Yusuke, it's okay. Go back in your body. I don't want you to get hurt.-
-I don't want to hurt you!-
-You won't. Just do it, before you lose your soul!-
Yusuke surrendered to the pull and reentered his body. However, when Koenma tried to communicate with him again, all he could hear was static.
-K-chan? Where are you?-
He was starting to black out. He knew it. He couldn't feel himself anymore, no matter how hard he tried to. He finally stopped fighting and let himself fall into oblivion.
YYF14: Okay, I know this was kind of a weird chapter, but this getting kinda fun to write. Anybody want to guess what's going on with Yusuke? I'll give you a hint: if it's not him, and is acting like this with Koenma, who do you think it is? I'll put up the answer next chapter, which I think will come out fairly soon. Either later this afternoon if my brothers get off of the CPU for an hour, or tomorrow morning. See you then, and review if you wish!
