Chapter Four
Keiko glanced at the hand that had encased itself upon her upper arm and glared at the stranger.
"Unhand me." she stated trying to remain calm.
"Why? Let's get to know each other better darlin'…" slurred the clearly intoxicated man.
"You have to the count of three to remove your hand from my person." threatened Keiko, who was glancing around trying to locate Yusuke through the crowd, hoping to get out of the club unscathed before he could grab her.
"Don't be like that sweetheart." the man mumbled leaning into her.
"One. Two. Three." muttered Keiko quickly as she drew her arm back, making her hand into a fist and planting it soundly against the man's nose.
"Almost instantly he doubled over, cupping his nose as blood gushed from his now broken nose. She brushed her hands together, tossed her hair back over her shoulder, and smirked in satisfaction as she continued her journey towards the brightly lit exit sign.
She was almost out the door when a hand snaked out and around her waist, tugging her back into a heated body, and a deep low voice whispered in her ear;
"Now very sporting of you Keiko…"
She gasped and jerked her head around to see Yusuke smirking at her.
"It's none of your business." sniffed Keiko turning her head away from him.
"That's where you're wrong Keiko—who comes near you is exactly my business." he purred.
"Go to hell Yusuke." snapped Keiko struggling in his grasp.
"I suggest you stop struggling—unless you want me to do something not so subtle." said Yusuke suggestively pressing himself closer to her, so that she had no delusions as to what he was referring to.
"What are yo—" Keiko's statement was never finished because Yusuke had crushed his lips to hers' in a punishing kiss, earning a surprised squeak in response. She tried to pull away, but Yusuke's other hand snuck round and held her neck in place forcing her tighter against his hard, taunt body, his demon ordering him to punish her for trying to leave him—ensuring that she would never try it again.
Hearing her gasp for air against his lips, he plunged his tongue roughly into her mouth.
Keiko's whimper answered his groan, making her struggle anew in his arms. There was no way that this could be allowed to go further than it already had. She couldn't afford to let Yusuke back into her heart—the damage he could do would be irreparable. She would never survive another heartbreak caused by this man.
Yusuke felt her struggling in his arms and his demon growled. Why was Keiko so insistent on separating herself from him? His demon whispered suggestions as Yusuke tightened his grip on her, his solution apparent, a snarl escaped his lips. Without loosening his vice like grip on her he swept her outside the club and onto the street.
Keiko was still trying to re-gather her scattered thoughts when Yusuke suddenly broke the kiss and swept her out of the club heading towards a large dark alleyway. She growled and again tried to disengage herself from his side, but all she succeeded in doing was earning a growl from the man at her side.
As Yusuke dragged Keiko into the alley he turned to Puu, locking eyes with the spirit beast and sending a silent command for the bird to transform back into his true body. Immediately the small creature's body began to glow and shift, returning to his original size. Yusuke was about to help Keiko up onto Puu's back when she began to viciously struggle again.
"No way in hell am I going anywhere with you!" she snarled.
"Don't worry, Puu won't drop you." said Yusuke trying to lift her up and onto Puu's back once again.
"I trust Puu completely! It's YOU I don't trust!" snapped Keiko tugging her shoe off her foot and chucking it at Yusuke's head.
"Enough woman!" hissed Yusuke dodging the shoe, and reaching for Keiko before throwing her over his shoulder in one fluid motion.
"Yusuke Urameshi! Put me down this instant!" screamed Keiko enraged.
"Fat chance of that." snorted Yusuke rolling his eyes.
"Where are you taking me?! Damn it Yusuke!" she shouted.
"Back home." stated Yusuke shrugging his one shoulder.
"I am home! I live here now!" Keiko cried out twisting in his hold.
"We're going to Makai." snapped Yusuke.
"You can't take me to Demon World!" shrieked Keiko.
"I can and I am, so you'd better get used to the idea!" said Yusuke smugly.
"Damn you Yusuke!" whimpered Keiko fighting back sobs of frustration.
"Keiko?" asked Yusuke softly.
"Why can't you just let me go?" she sobbed, this time not even bothering to hide the pain in her voice.
"Shit…Keiko…" he cursed to himself. The voice of his demon let out a painful whine—Keiko was upset and he didn't understand the reasons behind it, or how to go about soothing said hurt.
"Knowing Yusuke, he's probably going about this all wrong." said Hiei smugly.
"Of that I have no doubt." Kurama sighed shaking his head.
"Perhaps we should go stop him before he does something to truly ruin his chances with Keiko." said Hiei annoyed.
"Hiei—I didn't realize you cared about Yusuke's relationships so much!" chuckled Kurama.
"I don't. But he is KING of our realm—and if Keiko refuses his suit, lord only knows what kind of fucking damage and terror he may reign down upon the kingdom. He will no longer give a damn about anything if his chosen mate rejects him." snorted Hiei disgusted.
"Say what you will, but he is also our friend and we both understand the seriousness of our king finding his mate. And we both know that if the situations were reversed he would do everything within his power to help us." said Kurama smiling thoughtfully.
"Let's go." said Hiei shifting uncomfortably, while he knew all of those things, he still had his pride and he would be damned before he ever agreed with Kurama about Yusuke aloud.
Smiling to himself, Kurama opened up a portal and they both jumped in, disappearing.
