Keiko sat down on the damp swing, using her sandaled feet to rock herself back and forth in the cold, lifeless children's park. The air itself was damp and gloomy from the rain that had previously fell on the earth. It wasn't raining at the moment, but it was far from dry. The fog was tensing up around the high school girl, so much so that she couldn't see the slide or the jungle gym any more, and it wasn't more than a couple of feet away. Checking her watch, she sighed realizing she was five minutes late.
"I couldn't have missed him, could I?" Keiko mumbled, rechecking her watch.
"Missed who?" said a familiar voice. Keiko shot up her head, looking around frantically until she saw a silhouette of her human hearted demon walking closer towards her person in the fog.
"Oh Yusuke!" Keiko smiled, so happy to see he didn't forget her.
"Been waitin' long?" he inquired, her only response a quick shake of her head. It was then that it hit her. She couldn't remember who called who out, why they were meeting at the park, and the reason she was so worried he wouldn't show.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said, looking embarrassed as she brought a petite hand to her mouth, looking at the rough textured dirt below her swing.
"For what?" Yusuke questioned unemotionally with a small smirk.
"I don't remember why we decided to meet here. It just slipped my mind!" Keiko said, a fake chuckle forming afterwards.
"Oh that's easy, silly," Yusuke replied, gently closing his eyes while keeping his smirk in place, "I just wanted to formally break up so it wouldn't be so messy."
"What...I don't...I don't understand..." Keiko added fretfully, it showing on her face. Her eyes held the confusion, but Yusuke didn't look up to see into them.
"Sorry, Princess. It's been fun. But I don't like this breaking up, getting back together repetitive shit. I decided, next lover I have will be the one, not a one. I just don't date to date, ya know?"
Keiko blinked her brown eyes, the water starting to leak from them.
"Yu..." she mumbled. Shaking her head, she finished, "What are you talking about, Yusuke? This is ridiculous! We always get back together. It's not like we even ever technically break up!" She was desperate, and it was apparent in the way her voice cracked.
"And another thing," the mazoku added, "the next lover I have, will be a lover. Men need some action, too."
"Don't tell me this is about se–?"
"Keiko, it's more than that. It just aided in the inevitable. Now, if you excuse me, I have things in the Makai to worry about."
"Yusuke?"
"See ya, Keiko."
"Yusuke?"
"..."
"YUSUKE!"

"YUSUKE!" the brunette girl shouted, bolting upright in her bed. Before even rubbing her eyes, she frantically looked around only to be greeted with familiar pink wallpaper and friendly stuffed animals among other miscellaneous stuffies. She was in her bedroom.
"Just a dream?" Keiko gaped. It seemed so real...
The High school junior stretched , her arms going upward, flexing her upper half so she would have the energy to move out of the welcoming, comfortable bed. But after a dream like that, I really don't want to go back to sleep... the girl thought, sighing. What a horrible dream it was, her boyfriend just up and leaving her. Normal girlfriends didn't dream about their significant other breaking the bond they had, did they? Could it be that the dream stemmed from her own doubts, or something else...?

"Good morning," sighed a content Yusuke, rolling over in hopes of grabbing a fire demon on the other side of the bed. When he felt an empty, but still warm, space, he sighed. Had the apparition abandoned him already? Normally, Hiei stayed for a little morning sex.
"Who are you talking to, eh?" said a very agitated, female voice.
"Muh...Mom?" Yusuke grumbled, sitting up in the bed. Sure enough, the elder woman was leering above him.
"Get out of bed and clean this pigsty this instant!" Atsuko growled. Yusuke rolled out from under the sheets and decided it would be in his best interest to listen to his once-irresponsible mother. After all, in the mornings she could be a real pain in the ass.
"Awright, awright!" Yusuke mumbled under his breath. "Can I have a moment to get dressed?"
"Nothing I haven't seen before, Yusuke," his mother started simply. "Though it might be a good idea. I mean, since when did you sleep naked?" Yusuke fumed and blushed at the same time. Luckily for him, she turned to leave. "I expect this room spotless before I return."
"Return from where?"
"I'm going to the store. Unless you would like to do the shopping." Atsuko said slyly, knowing her son's disinterest in going to crowded stores.
"All right all ready! Vamoose!" Yusuke complained, happy to see his mother finally leave the bedroom. She slammed his door shut as her final response.
"Damn it," the boy cursed under his breath.
"Is she always like that?" Said a familiar voice–one of the ex Detective's favorite voices.
"Where have you been?" Yusuke questioned, turning to see his favorite three eyed demon sitting in his window, fully dressed unlike himself.
"Nice view." Hiei said, eyes aiming below the belt.
"Ugh! Would everyone get off my back!" Yusuke quietly shouted, as to not rouse Atsuko's suspicions. He grabbed some boxers, a clean, black tee shirt and some rough, ripped jeans and pulled them over himself. "Better?"
"Not really," Hiei replied sarcastically, making the teen fume further.
"You're so mean!" Before the brown eyed boy could make any further comeback, the phone by his bedside started ringing in an annoying fashion. Hiei made a face of annoyance, but let it slide, without so much as a 'hn' coming from him. Yusuke picked up the phone, ready to cuss out the mysterious person on the other end for calling so damn early, until he heard the voice of a certain red headed fox.
"Kurama?" he questioned. Hiei listened intently as his lover of sorts had a quick conversation with their ally. When Yusuke finally hung up, a quirk of Hiei's eyebrow was all Yusuke needed to see the know the demon was curious.
"Apparently, Kuwabara is inviting us all to a fancy dinner in some place he rented out." Yusuke stated. It was probably Shizuru who did the actual 'renting out', but he assumed it was all Kuwabara's idea. "I wonder what this is about."
"Hn," the demon grunted, barely acknowledging the situation.
"Oh, by the way, you really aren't supposed to know yet. So when Kurama fills you in, look surprised." the teen retorted, rolling his eyes.
"What ever you say, Detective. Though you should know I never looked surprised."
"I don't believe that," Yusuke grinned, poking the apparitions arm. "Now if you haven't eaten yet, wanna hit a fast food place really quick?"
The demon made a face at the mention of ningen fast food, but responded with a, "What about your room?"
"Ah, I can do that later." And with that, the two hopped out from the apartment's four story window, and made a break for it.
End chapter two
Author's note: After I rewrote this, my computer spat back up the other version. Not to say that version was complete, but it wasn't bad. Still, I forfeited it for this one since I figured it turned out better anyway. I don't know why it took me so long to actually type this stupid thing out. Oh well. Enjoy! XD
