Chapter 66: Nasty Arguments and Insidious plot

Yusuke and Kagome sends cold glares that the male figure, which was the one, who forced Keiko the kiss that ended the relationship between Yusuke and Keiko, Reginald Haga.

Kuwabara and Mrs. Yukimura, who were hiding by the trees, looked Reginald Haga, who's hair was a bit long since the last time and Kuwabara says, in an angered tone, "It's that punk, Haga!"

Mrs. Yukimura says, in an angered tone, "What's he doing here!? Hasn't he caused enough problems already?"

Yusuke yells out, in a cold angered tone, "What the hell's this asshole doing here?"

Kagome yells out, in a cold angered tone, "You've got some nerve showing you've after what you've done!"

Sartorius tells Yusuke and Kagome, trying to calm him down, "Yusuke, Kagome, calm down! He's with us."

Yusuke tells Sartorius, coldly, "Saiou, how do you know that he isn't a spy for that little brown haired traitorous wench, who I thought was my girlfriend and cared about me!?"

Reginald tells Yusuke, in a cold serious tone, "Urameshi, I can understand that you're upset seeing me again after what I've done to you, but I was also betrayed by Yukimura as well."

Kuwabara and Mrs. Yukimura says, in disbelief and unison, whisperingly, "What!?"

Kagome tells Reginald, in a cold sarcastic tone, "Yeah and Kuwabara is the next Einstein! Give it up, dork! You think I was born yesterday! I remembered what you did to my cousin, a year ago!"

Ayame says, in an interested tone, "Wow, Kagome's different from the last time I've seen her."

Miroku says, in a serious tone, "Yes and it's because of Sartorius."

Reginald says, pleading tone, "Please, you must believe me!"

Yusuke asks, in a cold tone, "And why should we, twerp!?"

Sartorius says, in a plain tone, "Because, he went through the same thing that you did, Yusuke."

Yusuke looks at Sartorius, with disbelief, and asks, "What do you mean by that, Saiou?"

Reginald says, in a cold serious tone, "What am I going to tell you will make you think that I'm your ally?"

Yusuke asks Reginald, coldly, "And why should I listen to you, Blondie?"

Reginald tells Yusuke, in a cold serious tone, "Because we both harbor the same disgust for Keiko Yukimura and we share a love for dueling, of course."

Kagome asks Reginald, "You hate Keiko as much as Yusuke does?"

Reginald tells Kagome, "Yes, but you should harbor the same disgust for that traitorous wench because of what she did to your cousin."

Kagome says, plainly, "I'm still having a hard time believing that the girl that I've known since childhood, that stopped Yusuke from jumping off that bridge when they were ten was the one, who's been playing with my cousin's emotions, like it was a toy."

Holly and Kagome's 'former' friends from the Feudal Era gasp in shock and Shippo says, with a hint of hope, "Hey, guys, I think the 'old' Kagome's coming out."

Koga says, plainly, "Yeah, but who do you think is this Keiko girl?"

Inuyasha says, plainly, "Who knows? But I think it's someone that Kagome knows."

Reginald tells Yusuke and Kagome, "Urameshi, what I'm about to say will make you angry, but you have to know what was going on, while you were in Demon World."

Mrs. Yukimura says, perplexed, "Demon World?" She looks at Kuwabara and asks, "Do you know what he meant?"

Kuwabara froze and shook his head, not wanting to reveal Yusuke's secret to her.

Shippo says, stunned, "No way! That guy that Kagome's with is a demon."

Koga says, in a serious tone, "Not necessarily! He's more like a half demon like Inuyasha and Holly."

Holly says, perplexed, "But he look a lot like a human to me."

Reginald says, in a cold serious tone, "Saiou told me about your days as a spirit detective and your demon heritage as well as Kagome's days in the Feudal Era, where her friends, who she thought cared about her."

Yusuke and Kagome tells Reginald, coldly, "Don't remind us!"

Mrs. Yukimura says, perplexed, "Now, it's 'spirit detective' and 'demon heritage' and now 'Feudal Era', I wonder what's going on here?"

Kuwabara says, playing dumb, "Yeah, go figure!"

Yusuke says, in a cold annoyed tone, "Get to the point, Haga! What the hell are you trying to tell us?"

Reginald says, in a cold tone, "Okay! Yukimura and I started dating while you were in Demon World and she told me about a way to break your heart into many pieces until it'll be beyond repairs. She told me about how it's a bother to have a boyfriend, who's always gone all the time fighting demons, instead of increasing her popularity at Sarayashiki Junior High School."

Kuwabara thinks in his mind, angered, "No way! Keiko wouldn't do that! That twerp is one damn lair!"

Mrs. Yukimura thinks in her mind, angered, "I know my daughter and she wouldn't think of Yusuke that way, in a million years. Plus, 'fighting demons' sounds farfetched." Mrs. Yukimura got a thought in her head and thinks, "Then, again, there was that sudden earthquake that happened about a year ago (AN: Sensui case). Not to mention, Yusuke being gone, like he's disappeared without a trace for three weeks. What's going on here?"

Reginald says, in a cold serious tone, "She told me that she's only playing with your heart and doesn't really care about you, Urameshi. She told me that you were a worthless street punk with a whore of a mother and sisters."

Yusuke says, in a cold angered tone, "She said that, did she?"

Reginald says, in a cold and serious tone, "That's right! She planed to break up with you here at the Japanese Independence Day, a year ago. But fate has smiled at you, Urameshi, and you broke up with her, which placed a huge dent in her plans. Of course, she didn't want it to end with you breaking up with her."

Yusuke says, coolly, "Oh I get it! Typical! The kind of arrogance that someone with a popularity status would have."

Kagome tells Yusuke, "But what about your title as 'Prince of the Obelisks'?"

Yusuke scoffs and says, coolly, "At least, I don't worry about making my popularity at Duel Academy, a big deal to me! Unlike HER! I'm totally different!"

Reginald asks Yusuke, in a cold serious tone, "Urameshi, did Yukimura by any chance tried to seduce you to get you back to her."

Yusuke knows what Reginald and tells Reginald, in a cold annoyed tone, "I remember and thank you so opening an old wound! She got that idea from a friend of mine and happens to be the assistant to that pacifier-sucking turncoat, who I thought was my friend. After I got my heart thrashed, that overgrown toddler and his daddy went his little 'Tool Brigade' to arrest me and sent me to spirit world jail, a year ago. The same thing happened to a friend of ours, Catherine Maxwell, a half Ma-zoku like me." Yusuke points at Sartorius and says, "But thanks to him, I was freed from those dorks and Saiou, here, showed me the truth about my 'girlfriend' so-called feelings."

Reginald says, in a solemn tone, "You too, huh? Saiou here gave me a glimpse of Yukimura's real feelings towards me. Like you, I was a pawn in her sick game, just for her popularity at her high school."

Yusuke says, coolly, "Some things may never change."

Reginald says, coldly, "No joke! At first, I didn't believe it! But when I went to her school, because there was a Valentine Dance there, I saw her in the arms of another guy, Tyku Ryuuzaki, and I could see the love and warmth in her eyes, as she placed her lips onto his." Reginald clinches his fists and says, in a cold angered tone, "Damn her! I was heart broken that day! I went to confront her, two days later, until her 'new' boyfriend came and beat me to a pulp. She took great pleasure seeing me in pain, the only that was broken majorly was my heart! I was at the end of my rope, until Saiou came and offered me the ability to have my feelings towards Yukimura as well as my ability to fall in love to be completely frozen and taken away so I'll never haunt me, again!"

Yusuke says, in a cold angered tone, "It hurts a lot when you've known her to be the kind hearted person, since childhood, but it turns out that it was all a show."

Kagome says, plainly, "uh…no offense or anything but I still don't believe it! I still don't believe that Keiko Yukimura would ever anything that horrible to anyone."

Kuwabara and Mrs. Yukimura looks at Kagome and Mrs. Yukimura says, "It looks like Kagome doesn't necessary believe those lies. I can tell you that some of the parts of that story were true, but the betrayal parts are completely false!"

Yusuke tells Kagome, in a cold angered tone, "Kagome, how could you say that!? You heard his stories!"

Reginald takes out something from his pocket and gives it to Kagome and says, "You want your proof, here it is."

Kagome opens the envelope and inside were pictures. Kagome gasps in shock as she searched every picture with disbelief and thinks in her mind, "No! It can't…"

Yusuke asks Kagome, "Hey 'cuz, what's up?" Yusuke looks at the pictures and was immediately disgusted with them. Yusuke snatched the pictures and searched through them and thinks in his mind, "Every word of it…"

Reginald tells them, coldly, "And there's more! You know about the beating of your friend, Syrus Truesdale."

Yusuke says, angrily, "How can I forget!? That bastard, Tyku, hurt him and I made him sorry for that!"

Reginald gasps and says, "You did!?"

Yusuke says, with a cold sly smile, "Yep!"

Reginald says, with a trouble expression, "I see!" Reginald thinks in his mind, "That was a little too much."

Yusuke asks, plainly, "Hey, bro, is there something wrong?"

Reginald snapped out of his thoughts and says, "No! I'm fine!" Reginald tells Yusuke, in a cold serious tone, "Anyways, as I was saying. I was one my way home, until I heard familiar voices. It turned out to be our 'former' girlfriend and her overgrown dork of a boyfriend. They talked about a way to bring Urameshi back to Yukimura's arms and breaking his heart again."

Yusuke asks, in a cold annoyed tone, "Doesn't that little geek have anything better to do than hurt other people?"

Reginald says, coldly, "Then, I spotted Syrus Truesdale spying on them. I was going to warn him until they spotted him. Yukimura left after she told Ryuuzaki to 'take out the trash'."

Yusuke gasps and says, coldly, "You're kidding, right? She didn't even care that Syrus could get hurt!"

Reginald says, "No she didn't! All though, Syrus would have been killed if you didn't come and rescue him."

Sartorius says, in a plain tone, "I'm afraid that Mr. Haga isn't lying all of it was true."

Just then, a female voice booms, "I beg to differ, liar!"

Yusuke, Kagome, Reginald and Sartorius as well as Holly, Inuyasha and his friends turned to an angered Mrs. Yukimura, while Kuwabara came out of his hiding place, which was a shock to Yusuke and Kagome.

Yusuke yells out, shocked, "Mrs. Yukimura, Kuwabara, what are you doing here and how long were you there!?"

Mrs. Yukimura replies, nastily, "Making sure that lying jerk stops while he's ahead and long enough to hear all those lies coming from that boy, Reginald's, mouth!?"

Kagome thinks in her mind, "If Mrs. Yukimura had everything from our conversation then she must have heard about Yusuke's secret!"

Mrs. Yukimura points at Sartorius and says, seriously, "Yusuke, whatever that man is telling you are all lies!"

Yusuke says, "Lies?"

Mrs. Yukimura says, in a serious tone, "That's right! You should know that Keiko wouldn't do all those things to others!"

Kuwabara calls out to Yusuke, "That's right, Urameshi! That freak, who you think is so great, has been lying to you and Kagome the entire time!"

Yusuke says, in a cold tone, "Saiou never once lied to us before, Kuwabara!"

Kuwabara mumbles, repeating Yusuke, "Saiou?"

Mrs. Yukimura tells Yusuke, in a begging tone, "Yusuke, please! You and Kagome have known Keiko, since childhood and…"

Yusuke yells out, coldly, "Oh really! That's not what Saiou's telling me! Ever since, Saiou entered in my life, we've been living greatly over the past year!"

Kuwabara tells Yusuke, "Listen to yourself, Urameshi!" Kuwabara points at Sartorius and yells out, "That bastard has been lying to you and Kagome! You can't honestly believe that Keiko would actually play with your emotions! She really did love you!"

Yusuke yells out, in a cold angered tone, "If that's the case, then why did she get a two new boyfriends, while I was in Duel Academy all in the same year, after me, huh?! Care to explain that, genius!?"

Kuwabara yells out, seriously, "But Keiko hasn't gotten two boyfriends! Those lies are sprouted from Haga and that pale faced freak, who long due for a haircut!"

Kagome voiced, venomously, "Oh really! That's not what this says, Kuwabara!"

Kagome takes the envelope from Yusuke's hands and throws it over to Kuwabara. He catches it, opens the letter and he's shocked as Mrs. Yukimura looks at the picture that Kuwabara was looking. They were looking at pictures that seem to be Reginald and Keiko having a good time in place, almost like a date. Mrs. Yukimura shook her head and whispers, disbelief, "No! This can't be true!"

Yusuke says, in a cold serious tone, "You know what they say, guys! A picture's worth a thousand words."

Kagome says, in a cold serious tone, "And that nothing that Saiou says are lies! He's been truthfully towards us since the day we met! Hell! He even told me that my so-called 'boyfriend' was really two-timing and cheating on me with his slut of a girlfriend!"

Inuyasha and Koga thought in unison, perplexed, "Boyfriend!? What's she talking about? What's a boyfriend anyways!?"

Yusuke says, in a cold serious tone, "You remember that right, Kuwabara!? The one, who's always seeing his ex-girlfriend behind Kagome's back! The attitude and gangster one and that was before we met Saiou!"

Kuwabara stared at the pictures with disbelief and thinks in his mind, "Oh no! This can't be true! It can't be!"

Mrs. Yukimura thinks in her mind, disbelievingly, "No! These have got to be fake! This can't be true! No! I refuse to believe that my own daughter would do this to someone!"

Kagome says, in a cold serious tone, "Mrs. Yukimura, I had my doubts that Keiko would actually hurt Yusuke by playing with his emotions and heart! I'm sorry, but after listening to Yusuke's and Reginald's stories and looking at those pictures, I have to say that I can't continue my friendship with someone who enjoys hurting and deceiving others, like your daughter did to my cousin and friend, Syrus Truesdale. Plus, not just my so-called boyfriend, but my so-called friends back at home are in this as well! They're all just sit…"

Just then, a loud sound of something crashing into the ground hard occurred, which got everyone's attention.

Kagome thinks in her mind, disbelief and coldly, "That sound! It can't be…"

Kagome looks at the ground where a human Inuyasha was on the ground moaning pain and she thinks in her mind, coldly and bitterly, "What the hell is HE doing here!?"

Yusuke looks at Kagome's angered facial expression and asks, plainly, "Hey Kagome, you know that guy?"

Kagome asks, coldly, whispering, "Yeah! You remembered that dog eared freak of nature, right!?"

Yusuke says, coldly, "How can I forget!? The bastard hurt you on purpose!"

Kagome points at Inuyasha, who was standing up slowly and says, in a cold bitter tone, whispering, "That's him in his human form. Enough come to think of it, I always thought that he can change during the new moon."

Yusuke looks at Kuwabara and tells him, "Hey Kuwabara, take Mrs. Yukimura far away from here!"

Kuwabara asks, perplexed, "But what about…"

Yusuke tells Kuwabara, coldly, "Just go, now!"

Not wanting to argue, Kuwabara grabs Mrs. Yukimura's wrist and says, "Sorry, Mrs. Y., but we have to go!" Without a word, Kuwabara yanks the middle-aged woman away from the park.

Once the two were gone, Kagome walked towards Inuyasha, who was his feet and transformed into his half demon form and yells at Kagome, angrily, "What the hell did you do that for, Kagome!?"

Kagome yells out, ignoring him, "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha yelps out in pain when the necklace pulls him down to the ground, slamming his head into the hard ground, once again.

Holly says, surprised and feeling sorry for Inuyasha, "Ouch. That's going to hurt."

Kagome yells out, coldly, "What the hell are you doing here, mutt!?"

Inuyasha felt hurt when Kagome called him that and got on his feet. Inuyasha replies, seriously, "I came here to tell you that bastard that you think is so great is lying to you!"

Kagome yells out, coldly, "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha yelps out in pain when the necklace pulls him down to the ground, slamming his head into the hard ground, once again. Kagome yells at Inuyasha, in a cold angered tone, "You have no right to call him a lair, dog boy! After what you and the others did to me, give me one good reason why I should listen to a word you say!"

Just then, a male voice calls out, "Because, he's telling you the truth!"

Just then, Holly, Koga, Sango, Ayame and Miroku came out of their hiding places, which was a shock to Kagome.

Shippo tells Holly, "Holly, you can't come out, otherwise, Sartorius will find you and probably bring you into his control."

Holly nods her head and says, seriously, "Right!" Shippo jumps from the tree and transforms into his original form onto Miroku's right shoulder.

Koga tells Kagome, seriously, pointing at Sartorius, "Kagome, how could believe this freak over us!? Haven't I always declared that I'll always protect you, even the mutt declared it as well!"

Kagome yells at Koga, coldly, "Yeah, only to protect your precious jewel shard detector! Come to think of it, wolf boy, it was the only reason why you claimed me as 'your woman' in the first place, wasn't it!? I mean, why didn't you take Ayame over there as your bride, considering on made a promise to her before you met me!"

Yusuke asks Kagome, coldly, "Hey Kagome, are these the guys from the Feudal Era, who you thought were your friends, but in the end they betrayed you!?"

Kagome replies, coldly, "They're the ones! Though, I'm amazed that they could get here from the past."

Sango yells out, angrily, "We're not the traitors!" Sango points at Sartorius and yells out, "See him! He's the liar!"

Kagome yells at Sango, in a cold nasty tone, "You have no right to call Saiou a liar, bitch!"

Koga yells out, seriously, "See he even lied about his name!"

Inuyasha yells out, seriously, "Hate to admit it, but Koga's right, Kagome! His name isn't Saiou at all, his name is Sartorius! He's brainwashed you and feed you lies!"

Kagome shouts out, coldly, "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha yelps out in pain when the necklace pulls him down to the ground, slamming his head into the hard ground, once again.

Yusuke tells Inuyasha, in a cold sneer, "You're just a glutton for punishment, aren't ya, muttface!"

Koga yells at Yusuke, angrily, "Hey, no one calls Inuyasha, 'muttface' but me!"

Kagome tells Koga, in a cold angered tone, "Talk to my cousin that way, you stupid wolf, or I'll make you seriously regret, dork!"

Holly and Kagome's 'former' friends from the Feudal Era yells out, shocked, "Cousin?"

Yusuke tells Kagome's 'former' friends from the Feudal Era, in a cold tone, "That's right, dorks! I'm Kagome's cousin, Yusuke Urameshi and Kagome told me all about you guys, including that dog!"

Ayame says, seriously, "Wait a second! That's the name of one of the 'Chosen Ones' that Maximillion told us!"

Inuyasha, who was getting on his feet, tells Yusuke, "Then, I hate to break it to ya, kid, but that guy, who you think is so great, has been lying to Kagome and I'm betting that he's lied to you!"

Yusuke tells Inuyasha, in a cold nasty tone, "Listen, dog boy, Saiou is no liar, he's been truthful since the very beginning!"

Shippo tells Yusuke, in a serious tone, "Like Koga and Inuyasha said, he lied about his name! His name is Sartorius, not Saiou!"

Sartorius chuckled and says, plainly and coldly, "I'm amazed that you all can tell Kagome the truth about my identity."

Yusuke and Kagome looks at Sartorius and Yusuke asks, perplexed, "Hey Saiou, what are you talking about?"

Sartorius tells Yusuke, "You must understand, Mr. Urameshi, I had to hide my identity from my enemies in spirit world."

Ayame says, perplexed, "Enemies?"

Sartorius says, plainly, "I'm beginning to see how you got into this era."

Yusuke ask Sartorius, "What do you mean?"

Sartorius tells Yusuke and Kagome, "Yusuke, Kagome, my real name is Sartorius, no doubt about it and I'm afraid that Prince Koenma has been after me for some time and send these traitors from the Feudal Era to bring me in, while taking Kagome away from this era and the Spirit World Defense Force taking you away, Yusuke."

Holly murmurs, in anger, "That's not true."

Koga yells out, stunned, "What!?"

Miroku yells out, outraged, "That's a lie!"

Yusuke says, a low cold tone with more great anger and hatred towards Koenma, "Why that overgrown dorky toddler? He'll do anything just to get me away from the world so I wouldn't be a threat to that brown haired geek's new dork of a boyfriend!"

Kagome tells her 'former' friends from the Feudal Era, coldly, "I can't believe you guys! What you did to me was bad enough, then you had to make matters worse by letting those tools from spirit world take Yusuke away from the world!"

Sango tells Kagome, seriously, "Kagome, that's not true!"

Shippo tells Kagome, seriously and solemnly, "Kagome, how could you see that we're playing with your emotions?"

Kagome yells at Shippo, coldly, "If you think those crocodile tears are gonna work on me, you've got another thing coming, twerp! That might have worked on the 'old' Kagome, but this new and improved one will not fall for that! The old Kagome Higurashi died after she learned the real and horrible truth about her so-called friends from the Feudal Era as well as the ones back at home!"

Sartorius tells Kagome's 'former' friends, coldly, "You've caused enough grief for Kagome and I'd appreciate if you'd please leave before I'll be crossed."

Inuyasha tells Sartorius, nastily, "And you'd better fest up the real truth to Kagome or else, you bastard!"

Yusuke tells Kagome, coldly, "Kagome…"

Kagome getting her cousin's message and shouts out, coldly, "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha yelps out in pain when the necklace pulls him down to the ground, slamming his head into the hard ground, once again. Kagome shouts out, "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT BOY!" Inuyasha was slammed to the ground multiple times with painful yelp with every 'sit'.

Shippo hid behind Miroku's head and murmurs, "Man! Even while she's brainwashed, Kagome is even scarier, when she's mad."

Ayame tells Kagome, "How could you still defend that man, after he confessed about lying about his name!"

Yusuke tells Ayame, in a cold serious tone, "The reason behind this was because he was hiding from pacifier breath and his tools!"

Kagome says, in a cold serious tone, "That's right! He had every reason to do that!"

Sartorius says, plainly, "Right now, Kazuma Kuwabara has probably told Koenma about my whereabouts."

Yusuke asks, coldly, "Doesn't Kuwabara realized that pacifier breath wants nothing more than to put me in bars!?"

Sartorius says, in a plain tone, "Most likely, Koenma threatened the safety of Kuwabara's elder sister, Shizuru, which made Kuwabara a pawn in his plans to get you. Then, he's now using your friends, Kurama and Hiei as well."

Yusuke yells out, coldly, "That toddler bitch has gone too far this time! I've got to warn them!"

Sartorius says, in a plain tone, "It's not that easy, Yusuke. Like your friend, Kuwabara, Koenma has threatened the life of Kurama's human mother as well as Hiei's younger sister, Yukina. So, if they don't do what they are told then, Koenma will more likely to hunt them down."

Kagome says, horrified, "That's terrible!" Kagome tells Yusuke, "Yusuke, I can't believe that you actually worked from him! What a jerk!?"

Yusuke scoffs and says, coldly, "Toddler jerk is more like it, Kagome."

Miroku yells out, seriously, "Can't you see that Sartorius is sprouting more lies!?"

Kagome tells Miroku, coldly, "Why don't you shut that trap you call a mouth, you fake lecherous monk!? That mouth of yours may work on other girls but it wouldn't work on this one!"

Miroku was taken back by Kagome's cold tone and Yusuke says, coldly, "Let's get out of here, guys! Because right now, I don't want to look at the faces of the ones, who hurt my cousin before anymore."

Kagome says, coldly, "I'll definitely take that choice, later dorks!" Yusuke and Kagome turned around with Reginald and Sartorius following them, leaving Kagome's 'former' friends behind.

Sango tries to speak, but Miroku places a hand on her right shoulder and says, solemnly, "There's no use in talking to Kagome now, Sango. She too far has gone at the moment. Sartorius feed her enough lies to make her believe that we're her enemies. Let's go, everyone!"

Koga tells Miroku, "We're gonna leave it like this, monk?"

Miroku tells Koga, "We have no choice but to go back to Maximillion and we can think of another way to get Kagome back."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Later, after departing with Sartorius, Yusuke, Reginald and Kagome went towards Yusuke's apartment, after Yusuke invited Reginald to his house shortly after Sartorius had departed from them.

Reginald tells Yusuke, plainly, "Thanks for inviting me to your home, Urameshi."

Yusuke tells Reginald, plainly, "No problem, Reggie!" Yusuke opens the door to his apartment and calls out, "Mom, I'm home!"

Just then, a male voice calls out, "It's about time you got home!"

Yusuke, Kagome and Reginald turned to see a familiar face before them. Which turned out to be Yusuke's, Jaden's and Syrus's old friend and former roommate, Chumley Huffington, wearing a blue business suit and black formal shoes standing before him with a smile.

Yusuke yells out, shocked, "No way! Chumley!?"

Chumley walks over to Yusuke and exclaims, happily, "Yusuke! Give me some love!" Chumley embraces Yusuke in a bear hug and Yusuke winch in surprise of the strength of hug with Chumley's bulk and all.

Yusuke tells Chumley, weakly, "Chum…can't breathe…"

When Chumley releases Yusuke for some air, Kagome walked over to Chumley and embracing him as well and says, "It's good to see you, again, Chumley!"

Chumley says, returning the hug and says, "Same here, Kagome!"

Later on, the door entering the apartment opened to see Zane Truesdale, Hikari and Kira Urameshi, Chazz Princeton, Ryoko Lyon and Jaden Yuki coming inside and Yusuke, who sitting on the couch with Kagome, says, to his sisters and friends with a smile, "Hey guys! Guess who came in to say 'hi'!"

Hikari asks, perplexed, "What do you mean?"

Just then, a male voice calls out, "He means me!"

Everyone turned to see Yusuke's, Jaden's and Syrus's old friend and former roommate, Chumley Huffington, letting go of Kagome.

Ryoko says, stunned, "No way!"

Jaden exclaims, excitedly, "Chumley!?"

Chumley walks over to Jaden and exclaims, happily, "Jaden! Give me some love!" Chumley embraces Jaden in a bear hug and Jaden winch in surprise of the strength of hug with Chumley's bulk and all.

Jaden tells Chumley, weakly, "Chumley…can't breathe…"

When Chumley releases Jaden for some air, Hikari walked over to Chumley and embracing him as well and says, "It's good to see you, again, Chumley!"

Chumley says, returning the hug and says, "Same here, Kari!" They let go of each other and Ryoko asks, "What are you doing here, Chumley?"

Chumley replies, "Mrs. Urameshi came and brought me here, since she knows that I'm friends with Yusuke, Kari and Kira."

Zane says, with a smile, "It's nice to see you again, Chumley."

Kira asks, curiously, "So, what's it like to work in Industrial Illusions?"

Chumley replies, "It's great and all but I miss you guys too much!"

Jaden says, with a smile, "Well, it's great to see you again, Chumley."

Chumley says, with a smile, "Yeah!" Chumley notices Reginald and asks, "Who's he?"

Everyone turned to see Reginald Haga in the apartment room, which made the anger within Zane, Hikari and Kira grow and Hikari yells out, angrily, "You!? What the hell are you doing in this place, Haga!?"

Kira says, in a nasty tone, "You got some nerve coming here after what you've done!"

Jaden asks, perplexed, "Is this someone you guys know?"

Zane says, in an angered tone, "Unfortunately, yes! He's the main reason for our headaches last year and now."

Hikari tells Reginald, seriously, "You have two choices leave by choice or by force!"

Yusuke gets in front of Hikari to put his hands to his sister's shoulders and says, "Whoa, sis! Reggie isn't the enemy here!"

Hikari says, in disbelief, "What?"

Yusuke tells Hikari, coldly, "That's right! I invited him here, because we wanted to get rid of a painful memory of a certain brown haired dork that some of us know, since childhood."

Just then, a knock occurred on the door, which got everyone's attention as Kira went to open the door. Then, the door opened revealing Keiko Yukimura with her bangs covering her eyes.

Hikari asks Keiko, perplexed, "Keiko, what are you doing here?"

Yusuke scoffs and says, coldly, "Whatever she wants she can getting it away from here!"

Keiko looks at Yusuke with anger and charges towards him then slaps him hard and yells out, angrily, "Yusuke, I hate you! Why do you cause me so much pain!?"

Yusuke looks at Keiko with cold anger and yells out, in a cold angered tone and ignored the sting of Keiko's slap, "Me causing you pain!? What about you causing me pain!?"

Keiko yells out, "Tyku told me that you rough housed him in the alley and told him to stay away from me!"

Yusuke yells out, in disbelief, "What!" Yusuke yells out, in a cold angered tone, "I could care less when guy hangs with the likes of you! Now get the hell out of my house and out of my life!"

Hikari gets in between the former couple and tells them, "Hang on, guys! I think we need to clear things out!"

Yusuke tells Hikari, "Easy, Kari!" Yusuke points at Keiko and yells out, in a cold nasty tone, "By telling this two-timing dork to leave, before she's thrown out for starters!"

Keiko says, in a serious tone, "I'm not leaving until we talk!"

Kagome then steps forward tells Keiko, in a cold serious tone, "Really, Keiko, I think you should leave now because I've caused enough problems already for Yusuke!"

Keiko was surprised by Kagome's cold tone towards her and Keiko says, in disbelief, "Kagome, what are you saying?"

Kagome tells Keiko, in a cold nasty tone, "What I'm saying, dork, is to get out now!"

Keiko asks Kagome, perplexed and in a painful tone, "Why are acting this way, Kagome?"

Kagome tells Keiko, in a cold tone, "Don't play dumb, Keiko! It's because what you did to Yusuke and not to mention Syrus!?"

Reginald then steps forward and tells Keiko, coldly, "And not to mention me, Yukimura!"

Keiko looks at Reginald and becomes angrier and yells out, "What's going on here and what the hell are you doing here!? Haven't you caused enough grief in a lifetime!?"

Yusuke tells Keiko, in a cold nasty tone, "Funny, we should be acting you that, Keiko! You've been two-timing both me and Reggie!"

Keiko yells out, in disbelief, "WHAT!? That's not true! I'd never lower myself into dating someone like Reginald Haga!"

Kagome tells Keiko, in a cold bitter tone, "Lying to us, again, Keiko! You just don't know when to quit!"

Hikari says, in a serious tone, "That can't be true! That means that you're the bastard, who told my brother all those lies aren't you!?"

Ryoko says, in a serious tone, "That has to be it!"

Reginald says, in a cold serious tone, "I'm not the liar here!" Reginald gets out an envelope and says, "I got copies of the pictures right here!" Reginald throws the envelope to Hikari and she catches it and gets out pictures of Reginald and Keiko in place, almost like a date. Hikari was having a hard time believing this and the others, including Keiko looked the picture.

Keiko says, in disbelief, "Those pictures have to be fake!"

Yusuke tells Keiko, coldly, "How could you make fake pictures? Plus, Reginald told us that it was you, who told your boyfriend to attack Syrus in the alley!"

Hikari, Zane, Jaden, Ryoko, Chumley, Kira, even Keiko gasps in shock at this and Chumley asks, stunned, "What happened to Sy!?"

Kagome tells Chumley, coldly, "It appeared that Tyku went and seriously injured Syrus!"

Chazz says, in a plain tone, "It's true! The twerp is now in his room sleeping!"

Kagome says, coldly, "He almost killed him too!"

Keiko yells out, outraged, "That's not true! I'd never allow anything bad happen to Syrus! Plus, Tyku would never hurt anyone at all! You've got to believe me!"

Hikari says, plainly, "That's right! If Keiko was there, then we'd probably seen her!"

Yusuke yells out, in a cold angered tone, "Oh really, It's true that, I was the one, who beat that bastard up because he did some major damage to Sy's body and that was it!"

Keiko tells Yusuke, "Don't call my boyfriend a bastard! He happened to rescue Syrus from a bunch of thugs! He told me that himself!"

Reginald gets out a tape player out and says, in a cold tone, "That's not what this tape says, dork!" Reginald presses the play button and a voice sounded like Keiko booms, "What are you doing here, twerp!?"

Everyone gasps and turned to Keiko, who was having a hard believing it and Keiko says, "No! That voice…it's not me!"

Syrus's voice boomed from the tape, "I can't believe it, Keiko! Yusuke was right along! You are just going to get him back long enough to break up with him!"

Keiko's voice boomed from the tape, "You're not telling that street thug anything! Tyku, take out the trash!?"

Tyku's voice boomed from the tape, "Gladly, babe!" Reginald pressed the off button and Keiko shook her head, in disbelief, "That's not true! It's false!"

Chazz tells Keiko, nastily, "You know what they say, girl! A picture's worth a thousand words!"

Kira says, solemnly, "I can't believe that you did that, Keiko!"

Hikari says, with disgust, "No joke! My own friend…my best friend…the girl that I've known since we were four and the girl that I think of as a younger sister…"

Keiko tells Hikari, in a begging tone, "Kari, please! You've got to believe me! You know I'd never do that! Not to Syrus!"

Zane says, with anger, "But you did! To my own brother no less!"

Ryoko says, with anger, "True, that twerp's cowardliness might be a pain, but you had no right to hurt him the way that you did, Keiko! I always thought it was Urameshi doing the hurting, but instead it was you all along!"

Keiko says, in a begging tone, "You guys know me better than that!"

Kagome says, in a cold tone, "I thought I did, Keiko! I thought I knew everything about you! But after what you did to my cousin, Reginald and my best friend, how can I believe you after everything you've done?"

Yusuke says, in a cold tone, "Not to mention that the evidence brought here doesn't fall in your favor. Now do us a favor and leave!"

Kagome says, with an evil sly grin, "Or better yet!?"

The next thing happening was Keiko screaming as she was thrown out of the apartment and hits the floor with her back by Kagome.

Yusuke tells Keiko, in a cold nasty tone, "And don't even think about coming back!"

Kagome says, in a cold nasty tone, "Yeah, this apartment has become a 'no traitor' zone!"

Hikari tells Keiko, nastily, "And consider our friendship over, Keiko! If I ever see you anywhere near my brother or Syrus, then you'll be very sorry!"

Just then, Yusuke, Kagome and Hikari walked inside the room with Yusuke calling out, coldly, "Later, dork!"

Then, the door being slammed occurred, made Keiko wince. Keiko looks at the door hopelessly as she sits up and looks at the ground, while holding back the incoming tears while thinking in her mind, "Everyone of my friends are gone now!"

Jaden looks at the door while thinking, "This could be plain worse but I'm feeling that Keiko could be telling the truth, but Yusuke has been telling some of the truth about Syrus getting beat up by Tyku. This may be a crazy thought but I think Keiko isn't the type of person that would play with others' emotions. True, the evidence doesn't go in her favor but why do I get the feeling that Keiko or Yusuke are telling the truth and they both have a different versions of the stories."

(Outside the apartment complex)

Outside the apartment complex, feeling hurt, rejected and broken Keiko wonders through the narrow streets while wiping her tears away, thinking, "I promised myself that I wouldn't cry about those things. It should have stayed in the past. Could this day get any worse?"

The brown haired girl approached her family diner until she was met with the stern looks of her parents. Keiko asks, confused, "Mom, Dad, what's going on?"

Mr. Yukimura tells his daughter, in a serious tone, with his arms crossed, "Oh nothing, just I got off the phone with Mrs. Truesdale, about Syrus's encounter with that boy."

Keiko tells her father, in a distress tone, "Dad, you can't possibly believe that Tyku did that!"

Mrs. Yukimura says, in a serious tone, "Keiko, Mrs. Truesdale claimed that the Urameshi triples, Kagome and their friends saw Tyku badly injuring Sy."

Keiko says, in a low angered tone, "So, you're going to believe them over me! Why can't you guys see that Tyku is a caring person, rather than some hoodlum?"

Mr. Yukimura says, "Ever since, that boy came into our lives, you've lost your closest friends because they all sensed something horrible about that boy, but you are blinded by the truth!"

Keiko yells out, in an angered tone, "Maybe, my so-called friends are too stupid to see the opposite! Now my parents can't see that at all! At least, he doesn't leave me in a middle of dates and accuse me of playing with someone's emotions like Yusuke did!"

Mr. Yukimura tells Keiko, "Keiko, that's enough! What happened to you!? You never were this way before! But I do know this, you are forbidden to see that boy or bring him here and you are grounded until further notice!"

Keiko yells out, in disbelief, "You're not serious, dad!"

Mr. Yukimura says, in a serious tone, "Note serious face. I'm sorry, Keiko! But I knew there was something that I didn't trust about that boy since the first time I've seen his face, but after what he did to Sy, I was right! That boy can't be trusted and if I ever see him in this diner and you're with him, then I'll personally hunt him like the dog he is!"

Mrs. Yukimura says, in a serious tone, "We're doing what we think is good for you, now."

Keiko was trying to fight the tears coming and yells out, "That's not fair!" She then ran to the direction to her room.

After the door to her room was slammed, Mrs. Yukimura sighs, looks at her husband and asks, "Don't you think we were a little too hard on her."

Mr. Yukimura says, in a low tone, "I admit that, but it's what he did to Syrus that angered me! I mean Sy's like a son to me, since…well…you know…"

While outside, a figure was seeing lurking about the diner and took form of Tyku Ryuuzaki, who had a bandage wrapped on his forehead, getting out a cell phone from his pocket, dialing a number and places it in his ear.

Just then, an evil plain voice, "Yes!"

Tyku says, in a cold serious tone, "Master Sartorius, I've came to tell you that the plan is going very swell!" Tyku says, with an evil sly smile, "That wench, Yukimura, is about to get the biggest heartbreak in history that she'll die! When do I hit her where it hurts, sir!? I'm sick of playing the boyfriend of that dork!"

Sartorius's voice says, from the phone, "Tyku, I heard from a reliable source that you were rather clueless with Yusuke's and Keiko's friend, Syrus Truesdale, overhearing your conversation with Rose."

Flashback

In the park, we find Tyku Ryuuzaki sitting on the bench waiting for someone. Just then, a pair of hands appeared, covering his eyes and a feminine voice calls out, in a seductive and sly tone, "Guess who?"

Tyku places a cold sly smile as he takes off the hands covering his eyes and he turns to see the blue eyes of Rose Tenku, with an evil sly smile on her lips. Tyku says, with an evil sly tone, "Hey, babe!"

Rose giggles seductively as she walked around the bench and sits on Tyku's lap, then kisses his lips. Tyku returns to kiss as he wraps his arms around Rose's waist and Rose did the same with Tyku's neck. The two departed and Rose asks, with a sly seductive tone, "So, how's Operation: Playing Boyfriend, doing, honey?"

Tyku says, with an evil sly smile and tone, "It's working perfectly! That wench, Yukimura, is eating at the palm of my hand. Almost everyone of her pathetic closest friends, including her 'former' boyfriend, Urameshi has left her. Pretty soon, everyone of her friends will cast her out of her life and die a lonely death."

Rose says, with an evil excited tone, "I've watched you and that bitch and I have to say that you're one convincing actor! Almost like you're actually in love with her!"

Tyku scoffs, coldly, and says, with an evil smile, "Yeah right, babe! Hell will freeze over before I fall in love with that dweeb!"

Rose says, in a cold serious tone, "No joke, hon! She and Urameshi are the main reasons of our headaches!" Rose says, with a cold sly smile, "Urameshi and his dorky cousin, Higurashi, are being taken care off. I knew that whole 'Sick girl' reputation that Higurashi had back in middle school was nothing but a fake. I even heard that it was Higurashi's own grandfather was the one telling these 'sick granddaughter' stories."

Tyku says, with a cold sarcastic tone, "Doesn't that old man have a better excuse than that!? Come on, I mean does she look like have any of the sickness that grandfather of hers has been telling everyone?!"

Rose says, with a cold sly smile, "I believe there are some things that people would believe, especially those things that are filled in Urameshi's, Higurashi's and Yukimura's heads right now! It's a matter of time before the pain commerce."

Just then, a male voice booms, angrily, "Guess again! You two aren't hurting my friends!"

Tyku and Rose looks at an angry Syrus Truesdale staring at them hard and Rose asks, in a cold nasty tone, "What are you doing here, twerp!?"

Tyku tells Rose, "Hey Rose, this little runt is Yukimura's childhood friend."

Syrus yells out, angrily, "I can't believe it, Tyku! Keiko loves you and you are going ahead and breaking her heart! She's been through enough pain since last year!"

Tyku tells Syrus, in a cold nasty tone, "In case you've forgot, twerp, Yukimura wouldn't listen to you if you're about to see something bad about me!"

Syrus gets out a tape player and presses the play button and Rose's voice booms, "So, how's Operation: Playing Boyfriend, doing, honey?"

Tyku's voice booms, "It's working perfectly! That wench, Yukimura, is eating at the palm of my hand. Almost everyone of her pathetic closest friends, including her 'former' boyfriend, Urameshi has left her. Pretty soon, everyone of her friends will cast her out of her life and die a lonely death."

Rose's voice booms, "I've watched you and that bitch and I have to say that you're one convincing actor! Almost like you're actually in love with her!"

Tyku's scoff is heard from the player and booms, "Yeah right, babe! Hell will freeze over before I fall in love with that dweeb!"

Rose gets off from Tyku's lap and Tyku gets up from the bench and tells Syrus, coldly, "You know, twerp! Judging what your friend, Yukimura tells me about you, you're pretty gutsy to challenge me like that!"

Syrus says, in a serious tone, "I may be a coward at times but when it comes to defend my best friend's honor that you're about to trash, then you better believe that I won't back down!"

Rose says, with a cold grin, "Well, looks like the twerp has a backbone! Well, here's a little message, dork, you're not telling that bitch and her street thug boyfriend anything!" Rose tells Tyku, "Tyku, take out the trash!?"

Tyku crackers his knuckles with an evil smile, "Gladly, babe!"

Syrus gasps and went for his bike which had a bag of groceries on and drove off. Syrus rode away from the parking hoping to find either Yusuke or Keiko to warn them. Just then, pieces of stones appeared in Syrus's way as the wheel of Syrus's bike hits it. The little light blue haired teenager was sent flying from his bike and crashing into an alley with the groceries bring thrown to the ground. Syrus tells to get up but something hits his back as he was forced down.

Tyku adds more pressure to Syrus's back from his foot as Rose came in and grabbed the tape player that Syrus had with him. Rose takes out the tape, drops it and smashes it with her foot. Tyku grabs Syrus's shirt and pulls him up, then punches him in the gut. Tyku kept using poor Syrus as his own punching bag, after Rose had left until Chazz Princeton, Kagome Higurashi and the Urameshi triples came in and rescued him.

End Flashback

Tyku grits his teeth and says, in a cold serious tone, "Master Sartorius, that was an accident! I had no idea that twerp was listening in our conversation, I swear! It won't happen again."

Sartorius's voice calls out from the phone, "Not to worry, my young friend that was nothing but a mere accident. However, this accident had made your jobs of taking away all of Keiko Yukimura's friends away from her. I was told from a reliable source that all of Keiko Yukimura's friends have turned on her, including Yusuke Urameshi's sisters."

Tyku says, in a cold serious tone, "All there's left is that little spy that Rose and I encountered."

Sartorius's voice calls out from the phone, "There's nothing to worry about, my friend. All that matter is that Keiko Yukimura is left with one friend and that's hardly a threat to us, now. Now I believe that our dear Keiko is feeling depressed about what happened with her now 'former' friends. However, Mr. Ryuuzaki, when your mission is complete then I have a little favor to ask of your girlfirend."

Tyku replies, with an evil sly smile, "I'm all ears, master."

To be continued…

Author's Note: I know that you guys want to have Yusuke and Keiko back together already, but that's not going to happening in the much later chapters. I know that someone had wanted me to have Yusuke get so mad at Keiko and Hikari that he grabs them by the throat and holds them to the wall then out of nowhere Zane comes in sees this then everyone else comes in and a huge fight starts and then Yusuke wakes up after getting some sense beaten into him. That's nice and all, but I'm not going to do it. The reason why I'm making this fic is that some of the YYH fans happened to be Keiko haters, just because 'she's nothing but a weak girl that needs Yusuke to save her from time to time and a goody-gooder' which was a total false accusations. Keiko can be strong when necessary and in this fic will prove it, when in the end Keiko may play a role that she'll be the one saving Yusuke from Sartorius's control.
