BAM!

Yusuke's eyes opened to the sound of his alarm, which went off at 8:00am. Yusuke sat up and yawned, then got off his bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. As the shower water hit his face, along with his body, Yusuke was reflecting on what happened before he left for Demon World. He was thinking about his last date with Keiko and her saying that she would find a new boyfriend. When she said those words, Yusuke was hurt a lot, but who could blame her. During his days as spirit detective, he wasn't boyfriend of the year to the brunette. Always ditching her to another case, forgetting about the dates and worrying her half to death. He thought about being friends with Keiko, so she wouldn't miss him way too much when he's in Duel Academy.

After finishing his shower, Yusuke went to his room and found some things to wear, which was a pair of jeans, a red plaid shirt with a yellow sweater, a green jacket with orange cuffs and collar plus white sneakers. After finishing dressing and gelling his hair back, Yusuke walked out of his room, with his bag and his KC2 Duel Disk. His nose picked up something and was telling him that Kari was cooking again. If there was one thing that Yusuke hated in the whole world, besides school and whole a lot things, was his older sister's cooking. Yusuke loved his sister, but when it comes to Kari cooking, then he would try to escape.

Yusuke, slowly turn around and walked back, hopefully that Kari won't know that he was around, "Oh little brother!" Kari sang, which made Yusuke stop in his tracks, "Damn it! How did she know that I was here?" he said, to himself and knowing that he was defeated, "Yes, big sister!" Yusuke answered, with a little sarcasm

"Breakfast is ready!"

Yusuke groaned softy, so Kari won't hear him, "If I have to endure this much torture, I should've stayed in Demon World," he muttered. The black haired teen walked towards the table and sat down, "What's for breakfast?" he asked

Kari came out of the kitchen with two plates of egg omelets and gave a plate to Yusuke, "Thanks!" Yusuke looked at his plate, which appears to be a good looking omelet, stacking with other omelets but if there's one thing Yusuke has learned was that 'looks can definitely be deceiving'. Yusuke looked at his sister, who was wearing a dark blue shirt, V-cut that showed a bit of her cleavage, red skirt that was to the knee and white sneakers, sitting down. The black haired teen grabbed his fork and knife and cut a piece of the omelet and placed it in his mouth, while bracing himself for the most disgusting taste ever. However, instead of horrible it tasted good. Yusuke couldn't believe it, Kari actually made something that was good or he's gotten used to the food she made in the past, "Wow, this omelet is so good!" Yusuke exclaimed, as he was gorging the omelets down

"You really think so?" Kari asked

Yusuke took a break from eating his omelet, "Yeah, what's the secret?" he asked

"Well, I gave the omelet a little salt and pepper."

After the Urameshi twins finished their breakfast and packing, they head for the door and went outside, after closing and locking the door. As the twins were walking to the Yukimura diner to get Keiko, Kari, who was holding onto the strap to her duffle bag, eyed Yusuke, who was feeling a bit down, "Okay, tell me what's the matter?" Kari asked

Yusuke sighed, "It's been three weeks and I don't think that me and Keiko want to continue our boyfriend and girlfriend relationship and go back into being friends."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because of the day before I left for Demon World, she said to give her call when I get back so she can introduce me to her new boyfriend." Yusuke said, with venom in his tone, "I didn't know if she was serious or motivating me to get back."

"How did you know that she hasn't met anyone, yet?"

"Because she'll blow her top, Kari," Yusuke said, "I come back unexpected for three weeks and she'll probably say, 'You expect me to answer that question after coming back three weeks unexpected!' Plus, on top of that, I asked for her hand in marriage on that day."

"But don't you always use that tramp card to ease the argument between you two?"

"Yeah, but I use it at the wrong time," Yusuke said, "I thought that I was going to come back here when I'm eighteen, not fifteen! Plus, I don't think we're ready now! Besides, I wouldn't blame her for not wanting to be with me. After all, anytime that I'm on those cases that Koenma had me do, she's always worrying about me half to death, ditching her on our dates and going to Demon World and saying that I'll be gone for three years, she'll probably think that I was playing a cruel joke on her! Some occasions she wanted to come with me on one of them, I couldn't jeopardize her life like that, so that's why I don't tell her any of the cases that I'm told."

"Those are very good reasons for Keiko to break up with you," Kari said, "But have you tried talking to her."

"I would, but I'm not going to do it," Yusuke said

"WHAT!" Kari yelled, "Why the hell not?"

"Because, in the past I was able to do, but since I'm a demon then the chances of me scaring and hurting Keiko are as the same as the size of that Titanic boat, that hit an iceberg and sunk or worse." Yusuke said, "I love her so much that I want the both of us to be friends, instead of more than that. Plus, I wouldn't forgive myself if anything bad happens to her."

"Well, you'll never know until you try, though."

"Believe me, it would be safer for her if we were friends." Yusuke said, "Besides, I don't want to be one of those over possessive boyfriends."

Kari sighed, "Any idea how you're going to break the news to Keiko?" she asked

"I'll tell her eventually"

While at the Yukimura diner, Keiko was eating her breakfast, which happened to be bacon and eggs. The brunette wore a white dress shirt, pink skirt that went to the ankle. Keiko had her fork in her mouth thinking about a lot things and still recovering from the shock that Yusuke had come back in such a short notice. She felt something bad is going to happen between them. She could remember the night that Yusuke came here, she wasn't in the mood to talk or even look at him. The reason why was that she was real sad that Yusuke would be gone forever. She also remembered that Yusuke proposed to her, which was a little bit uncalled for. Keiko knew that Yusuke would use that tramp card, anytime to get out of the fight that she had with him. She still had that funny feeling in her stomach that something bad is going to happen to both her and Yusuke. It wouldn't be another case, Yusuke guaranteed that he was no longer spirit detective. She was hoping that what she said to Yusuke about her getting a new boyfriend, wasn't the cause of this.

Keiko was broken out of her thoughts as a knock on the door, occurred. She looked to see the Urameshi twins at her doorstep and got up from her seat and walked towards the door and opened it, "Hey guys!" Keiko greeted

"Hey Keiko!" Kari responded, "Ready?"

"Yeah, just need to get my bags"

After Keiko grabbed her two bags, she puts on her dark blue blazer and follows the Urameshi twins out the door.
