Yusuke grabbed a few more letters and continued to read. 'At least she wasn't crying when she wrote these,' he thought.

The Letters

Chapter 3

March 1st

Dear Yusuke

I had the most peculiar dream last night. You were supposed to be glowing, and I was supposed to kiss you, and that was supposed to bring you back to life. But then I got to your apartment and you looked normal to me, so I just went to school.

And then my mom got sick, and oh Yusuke, it was the worst day ever! But then it was really late, and they must have given her some strong medication, because she blathered something strange about my dream, but the important part is that I got to your house!

Oh Yusuke, I'm so happy you're back. I'm so, so happy.

Keiko.

PS: Could we maybe keep that kiss a secret from my parents?

Dear Yusuke

I had really hoped that being dead for a while might change your attitude on life or something. Put your priorities straight, maybe. I mean, you do seem a bit… off, today. You seem very pleased to be rooted to the ground. But still, your first day back, did you HAVE to get into a street fight? Kuwabara told me about it.

I mean, really?

Oh Yusuke,

Some things never change. I thought you'd stop skipping school and be interested in your grades and such. I had hoped. I know it was awkward your first day back, but I mean… Really.

So NOW where did you run off to? I know that teacher is after you, but do you HAVE to disappear all the time on me? I DO worry about you, you know.

Keiko

Oh my lord Yusuke. You look you got hit by a TRAIN this time. AND you didn't come to school yesterday. Or the day before that. You haven't even SPOKEN to me since Monday. And your mother called, me said there's been an older girl staying with you. What is going ON, Yusuke?

March 13th

You still haven't spoken to me on over a week. What the heck was with that girl on the roof? Apparently you only think I'm good for doing your homework. Why do boys have to be so complicated?

And then, I saw this guy while I was walking to school. He kinda gave me the creeps, but he knew my name! And then, I blacked out. I have some weird memories about a warehouse, but I think I imagined them. My back sure hurts. And my head…

AND WHO IS THAT GIRL? I thought I MATTERED to you Yusuke.

Hell with you, Yusuke.

Keiko

Outside, Yusuke heard Keiko approaching. "Yusuke?" she called. His heart jolted, and he stuffed the letters back in the box, and hid the box back in her closet.

"I'm in here," he called back nervously.

The door opened. "What're you doing in my bedroom?"

"I, uh, got... lost... on my way... to the bathroom, that's it."

Keiko frowned at him, but didn't pursue the subject. "Come on, Yusuke, we're going to be late to dinner with Kuwabara and Yukina," she said, and she turned and walked out the door.

Yusuke glanced at where he had put the box of letters. 'I'll be back,' he thought, and followed her.

Sooooo if you guys read my bio for updates (which I doubt you did, but bet you will now), I'm a big fat lying liar. Mostly because my thumb drive with my whole entire life on it was killed. By me and my awe-inspiring talent.

But here's an update!!!! Praise me! : D

Let me know if it's really out of character or has glaring grammatical errors. Happy New Year or something.
