Do You Dare to say goodbye?
'I remember that day well. That was the day that Yusuke left to go to the Makai.' thought Keiko.
Flashback
"Hey Yusuke, what's with the long face?" asked Kurama.
"Nothing it's just today I'm going to tell Keiko about my decision to go to the Makai to meet this Raizen guy." said Yusuke with a look of for longing on his face.
"Oh man, that is tough but Keiko is a very understanding girl. I'm sure everything will turn out okay. Well I hate to run like this but I'm needed at my house. Goodbye Yusuke and good luck." said Kurama walking out to the door leading towards the stairs that went back into the school.
Unbeknownst to the two Keiko had listened in to their conversation, hiding in the shadows. She had gone up their early to clear her head.
'Yusuke is going to leave me to go to the Makai to meet some strange man that he has never met before? But who am I kidding this is just typical Yusuke always concerned about fighting and stuff! It's just that I wish for once that Yusuke would forget about this entire spirit detective job, and be there for me like a normal boyfriend would. Ah who am I kidding, this is just wishful thinking, and I am being selfish wishing to have him all to myself. But hey you can't blame me for thinking like this because I love him so much. I know deep down that he would do anything I ask of him, even giving up his job. But I won't do that to him, I'll keep my thoughts to myself. What he does no one else would and I'm so very proud of him for that, he'll never know how much because that is one of the reasons I fell in love with him in the first place. I…' BANG the slamming of the door broke Keiko out of her thoughts.
Keiko ran over to the railing watching Yusuke leave the school grounds. That was when a sob broke free form Keiko and she collapsed onto the ground crying. "I love you so much Yusuke ever since we were little. Why do you have to leave me again? WHY?" Keiko yelled out to nothingness not expecting an answer back.
"You know why onna." said (can anyone guess who?) Hiei.
Keiko quickly turned around to see Hiei standing there giving his signature glare.
"How long have you been there Hiei?" asked Keiko still crying not really caring who saw her.
"Doesn't matter. And to let you know you aren't being selfish, if anything you nothing but selfish." said Hiei before vanishing in a dark blur. (Gasp who would have thought Hiei would actually say those words to a human?)
"Thank you Hiei. Oh crap I'm late for my date with Yusuke." Keiko said with a little sadness in her voice.
Later on
"Hey Yusuke sorry I'm late." said Keiko out of breath.
"It's alright. Hey instead of catching a movie like we planned why don't we take a walk through the park?" asked Yusuke nervously.
"Sure, that sound s lovely." said Keiko with a small smile.
'Even now he is still a gentleman.' thought Keiko sadly.
The two arrived at the park with Sakura petals falling all around them, and the moon bathing them in light. If one were to look they would think it was too surreal. 'Ironic how this is so romantic, but I'm going to end up breaking my girlfriend's heart.' thought Yusuke while taking Keiko's hand in his pulling her to sit under one of the Sakura trees.
The two sat there snuggled up to one another for awhile enjoying each others company. If only the moment could of lasted for all eternity.
"Umm Keiko I brought you here tonight because I have something really important to tell you." said Yusuke looking down at Keiko.
'I guess it's now or never' thought Keiko. "Yusuke its okay I already know that you need to go back to the Makai. It's alright with me if you do. I wish you could stay here with me forever, but I know that cannot happen." said Keiko.
"Keiko, I don't' know what to say. Thank you for understanding. I wish with all my heart that I could stay with you too, but" he was cut off with Keiko kissing him.
"Shut up Yusuke you are ruining the moment like always." said a laughing Keiko.
Soon Yusuke joined in with the laughing. They sat there again staring up into the starry sky watching the meteor shower. They each made a wish that night on one of the shooting stars. Then clouds started to appear causing a slight drizzle to happen, but neither cared just content to lie in each others arms not knowing when they would be together again like this.
"I love you Keiko. I promise to be back soon you here. Wait for me because you are mine. You hear?" whispered Yusuke into Keiko's ear.
This action sent slight shivers down her back. "Forever and for always Yusuke. I love you too." said Keiko.
End Flashback
'That was ten years ago. How long time passes.' thought a twenty-five year old Keiko. She was standing in a grave yard staring at a grave marker of one she loved dearly.
'You baka, you promised to come back for me but instead end dying on me. I know I promised to wait for you, but I found some one else to love. I guess what I want to say is that you will always be my first love Yusuke, and when you passed on you took a part of me with you. So goodbye Yusuke. I hope where ever you are you have finally found peace with yourself. I love you.' was Keiko's last thought before walking away.
