Chapter Two

"Yeah she left three years ago after you didn't return." added Kuwabara.

Another growl escaped from between his lips and his dark aura grew.

"What's the matter Spirit Detective?" asked Hiei, who watching Yusuke's reaction very carefully.

Yusuke though was not listening, his thoughts drifting to Keiko. She had left him…she had promised to wait…she had left him—how dare she?! Who said she could leave? Suddenly he heard a voice, the voice of his demon who sounded suspiciously like Raizen in his head, Go find her, bring her back…tolerate nothing else. She is yours. As Yusuke's thoughts became more aggressive and possessive his eyes began to glow, lightening crashing around him.

"Yusuke?" asked Genkai hesitantly.

"You guys stay here…I'm going to find her and bring her back." Yusuke growled out.

All of his friends took a slow and cautious step back as they took in his appearance, he looked positively feral. Suddenly there was a loud shriek as Puu emerged from somewhere in the temple and landed on his outstretched arm. Looking Yusuke in the eye for several silent seconds Puu broke his gaze and released another ear piercing screech, before lifting off of his arm and transforming into his full spirit beast form, his howl echoing through the forest.

"Let's go Puu." snapped Yusuke jumping onto his back.

The others stared at them in shock as Yusuke flew off—the demons of the group understood what had just happened—it was rather obvious…Yusuke's demon had pegged Keiko as his mate and as everyone knew Mazoku were extremely possessive. They mated for life and once they had chosen their mate, no was no longer an option. Poor Yusuke was probably completely oblivious to his demon's influence though. Kurama and Hiei looked at each other; they had both realized years ago that Yusuke had already claimed Keiko is his own awkward and clumsy way. But the fact remained that Keiko was Yusuke's and no one would challenge him and his right to claim her officially for his own.
As Yusuke disappeared from their sight his friends exhaled, releasing a relieved breath and exchanged grins with one another. It was about time that Yusuke got off his ass and stopped making Keiko wait for him.

Keiko walked in the direction of the club—she was supposed to be meeting her friends there tonight, they had planned a night of drinking and dancing to celebrate her upcoming birthday. It had been awhile since she had allowed herself to have a "fun time" out with the girls. Life had kept her pretty busy since she had moved to the U.S….she sighed, it had been two and a half years since she had moved across the world. She had waited for Yusuke for three years as she had promised, and when he had failed to return, she had even convinced herself to stick around for another half a year in the naïve hope that Yusuke would keep his word and return, but obviously it was not meant to be. She hadn't heard from Yusuke since that day over six years prior—when he had promised to return to her in three years time. She rolled her eyes—it was just like Yusuke to do that to her, she had always been the one he had forgotten about. Her dark thoughts abruptly stopped as she noticed her arrival, taking a deep breath, she forced a smile onto her lips and walked into the club.

Looking around casually as she entered, she spotted Yukina and Botan, seeing her through the crowd they waved enthusiastically and signaled for her to join them at their table. Over the past couple of years Yukina had gained a lot of self confidence—she walked with her head up, no longer shying away from accidental physical contact, she didn't flinch when strangers approached her and that heart broken look that had haunted her eyes for years was slowly beginning to fade away. Botan had begun to change as well; her overly bubbly and exuberant personality had toned down, her approach to situations more down to earth than overtly optimistic.

Keiko couldn't help but smile—these two were her best friends, they had help to make her life so much more bearable when Yusuke had abandoned her. They had given her the confidence she needed to survive and begin to move on. Returning their smiles with a more genuine one of her own she quickly walked over and sat down next to her friends. She needed this night—she needed to forget about Yusuke.

Yusuke and Puu flew through the sky—Puu following Keiko by seeking out her life energy and heading towards it. When Keiko had taken care of Puu so many years ago, he had grown very attached to her—just as Yusuke had. However Puu's attachment to his could be compared to that of a baby bird imprinting upon his mother, while Yusuke's attachment to her was less than familial.

All of his thoughts were on her; where had she gone? Was she safe? Why had she left—had there been there someone else? Another snarl ripped through his throat at the thought of her leaving him. Raizen's voice sounded through his head again; Bring her back! Bend her to your will!

Puu let out a shriek—she was close…
