The Fire Kindled Within
This is my second chapter! I know the Prologue was short but I will try to make it a little longer.
Summary: A new demon will be awakened, a demon with a heart which can cause mayhem through the three worlds if it falls into the wrong hands. The gang now needs to find this demon and protect it, but where is the demon located?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, only my characters and the plot.
Ch 2: Reunion again
Yusuke and Keiko are walking down the park hand in hand. Everything seemed perfect for them. You can tell it from the way they talk, they move, they expressed, everything. Life was beautiful for them at that moment.
It had been one year since the Demon Tournament ended. Yusuke promised himself to be with Keiko. They would sometimes walk from his house to hers, stroll in the park, or even just sit down by the lake watching the sunset. He needs to make up the time he lost while he left Keiko in the Human world.
Yes, the ex- spirit detective was enjoying the time of his life.
Yusuke dragged Keiko to a bench n the middle of the park where the sunset is visible. He was enjoying that single moment when he heard a familiar voice.
"Yusuke!" yelled the voice from above.
It only took two seconds for Yusuke to pull Keiko out of the way the unidentified falling object. That unidentified flying object had a blue hair and ferry cotton pink eyes.
"Botan?" said Yusuke and Keiko in unison.
In less than a second, Botan gave Keiko a very big hug and cried, "It's so wonderful to see you again" A year is just too long! I missed your brown hair, Keiko! Oh, this is just wonderful jolly day!"
Yusuke cannot help it but laugh at the face of Keiko. "Hey Botan, he yelled, forgetting something?" He sometimes agreed that the ferry girl could be annoying sometimes but she was correct, a year is just too long.
"Of course not," said Botan with a wide grin. She then wiped her teary eyes and gave Yusuke his hug.
"I missed you too," he told her. Botan released herself from their hug and continued to grin. She really missed them. All those times where they would fight, shout at each other, share jokes, all of it. She wants to have it back.
But that feeling only lasted for a slight time when Yusuke asked lazily, "Alright Botan, let's get down to business, I know Koenma would not let us have a peaceful life, so what is his order?"
"Always straight to the point, aren't we Yusuke?" she said with her eyes on the ground. She paused and finally looked up at the couple. "Koenma has received a message from the Demon world, he-"
"Demon world, again?"
Both eyes of Yusuke and Botan looked at Keiko whose eyes are about to tear up.
Keiko understood that there are three worlds in her universe. She understood how it works. But everything was already perfect for them. She does not want to wait again; she is afraid, she might lose him again.
"Oh, Keiko" consoled Botan. But it did not work. Keiko's tears began to burst.
"How long will it be? One year? Two Years? A century?" she cried. "I cannot take this anymore, I...I..."
"I will be fine", Yusuke told her as he hugged her.
Botan was shocked. She did not know that Yusuke can easily comfort someone who is in the verge of crying.
Yusuke, on the other hand, really does not know how to comfort but he knows how to make her understand. He might be the ex- spirit detective, but it does not mean that he and his loved ones are far from danger.
"It's just a small mission, right, Botan?" He gave a stress in the word, right, to make sure that his ferry friend gets the idea.
Botan looked confused. She has not given any information to Yusuke, and besides the mission is a huge one.
She looked a Yusuke's face who was already giving death glares at her.
What the hell, Botan, SAY YES! Yusuke yelled in his mind.
"Of course, Keiko, it is just an easy task," Botan cheerfully said. "In fact, he will be home before you-mmpph"
Yusuke suddenly clamped his hand over her hand and whispered to her, "Do not give her too much hopes, I know that his mission will be a difficult one. I also know that Hiei and Kurama are aleady waiting for us, right?"
"Oh My Gosh!" shouted Botan
We need to hurry, Koenma told me to fetch you and Kuwabara as soon as possible! Come on we need to hurry!"
"Geez," Yusuke grumbled. He knew that toddler was annoying, VERY ANNOYING. But he must admit he also missed his favourite demons.
And With a last farewell to Keiko, he and Botan rushed towards Kuwabara's house.
so yeah, the three of them will enter a portal that will lead them to Spirit world. The End.
Chapter 3 coming up.
