Chapter 5: Truth

 

 

Yusuke took his fifth revolution around the temple that morning. He had gotten up early to make sure that Yoko was still in the room. When he opened the door, he had seen a large silver colored dog at the foot of the futon. As if the random dog hadn't been strange enough, when Yusuke walked into the room, the dog's head immediately perked up and growled at him. He didn't feel too alarmed by the dog, but he wondered where Yoko picked up the stray. Yusuke thought he should have a word with her when she woke up.

 

“Yeah, about a lot of things…” Yusuke said out loud. He was thinking about how he was going to have to tell Yoko that he wasn't interested in her in that way. Yusuke had fought with himself about it since the first date.

 

`I miss Keiko…' Yusuke sank down on a stump a few yards away from the temple. He shook his head and closed his eyes, imaging that it was a few months back; when he and Keiko were still together and she would punch him for being inappropriate, or drag him to school even though he hated it.

 

“Are you okay, Yusuke?” Keiko asked. Yusuke shook his head, his eyes still closed.

 

“Naw, I miss you like hell, Keiko…” Yusuke sighed. Positive that this was the closest he would get to Keiko; a hallucination.

 

“I'm right here.” Keiko said. Yusuke chuckled and opened his eyes. Keiko waved at him.

 

“WHHHHAAAAAAATTTTT!!?!? KEIKO!!!” Yusuke yelled. He rushed off the stump and shook her. Keiko's head bobbled back and forth as she tried to tell him to stop.

 

“Yuuuuuusssssssuuuuukkkkkeeeee!!” Keiko yelled and slapped him in the face. Yusuke stopped shaking her and hugged her tightly. Keiko's face softened and she hugged him tightly. She tried not to cry, but it was failing.

 

“What!? How!? You?!” Yusuke asked quickly, not knowing just yet what was going on.

 

“Some one would like to let you know what is going on Yusuke, so listen.” Keiko said. She stepped to the side and Yusuke could see Botan standing next to another girl. Her hair was pulled back, but long, black, and wavy. He noticed that she was decked out in a deep and dark blue that reminded him of the ocean. Yusuke met her eyes and stared into them. His jaw dropped.

 

“YOKO!!??” Yusuke looked surprised. He backed over the stump and fell down. Keiko scrambled to help him up Yoko laughed.

 

`I guess he didn't faint, but it's good enough.' Yoko thought to herself.

 

“Hi Yusuke.” Yoko smiled. Yusuke tried to smile back, but he hadn't expected Yoko to be a demon of any sort.

 

“Was this a giant test?! Did I fail?!” Yusuke demanded. Yoko laughed and shook her head.

 

“Nope. Koenma sent me to cheer you up and to create a little havoc in your life.” Yoko teased. Yusuke's eyes got really angry.

 

“That stupid toddler sent you!! Does that mean he sent Keiko away?!” Yusuke practically growled. Yoko looked around nervously.

 

“If I said no, I'd be lying, but then I wouldn't be honest either. Keiko knew what was going on and she agreed to it. Though, I know it hasn't been easy, huh Keiko?” Yoko addressed Keiko. Keiko shook her head and held on to Yusuke, letting herself cry a bit.

 

“I can't say I'm sorry what he did, it has brought me closer to you and it has also proved that Keiko and you are VERY much in love. It is refreshing to see something so strong. And I PROMISE you, no more tricks…. Of Koenma's.” Yoko laughed. Botan giggled.

 

“Speaking of which, he will be here sometime today…” Botan checked her watch. Yusuke shook his head.

 

“I don't care what his reasons were… I can't stand what he did. That stupid toddler just pisses me off!” Yusuke said. Keiko squeezed his hand tightly.

 

“I know. But it's done. Leave it be, Yusuke.” Keiko added. Yusuke walked over towards Yoko to hug her. A blur whipped in front of Yusuke and went to attack, but Yusuke had just enough time to react. He pulled back and stood protectively in front of Keiko, who was talking to Botan.

 

“Don't touch her.” The figure said. Yusuke could see the girl that stood in front of Yoko. She had gorgeous long brown hair that had random braids with golden symbol beads. On top of her head were two silver colored dog ears. Her eyes were tight and protective. They glowed a bright amber color. Yusuke saw Yoko shake her head and tap the girl on the shoulder.

 

“Hey, didn't I tell you to stay out of the way?” Yoko asked the girl. The girl didn't turn around to look at Yoko; instead, she got into a fighting stance. Her knee long skirt was separated by the slits on the sides that went up to her waist, revealing her white fighting pants. Yusuke noticed that she was wearing a mid-drift top that hung loosely off her shoulders. On her stomach was a golden sun emblem, decorating her naval. Yusuke wasn't going to think twice about fighting a girl. He'd kick ass if needed.

 

“You have no idea what he was going to do to you! You were just going to assume he wasn't angry and wasn't going to hurt you. Don't be naïve!” The figure growled. From behind him, Yusuke could hear the bushes stir.

 

“Hey Yusuke, what…. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! Hot girls show up and you don't even CALL!! Damn you Yusuke! Oh hey Keiko, Botan…” Kuwabara showed up with Hiei and Kurama following. Keiko and Botan looked less than thrilled at Kuwabara's comment, though he didn't seem to notice. Kurama eyed the two girls suspiciously. Both were demons with a certain allowance of energy.

 

`I wonder what Yusuke did to get himself into this trouble.' Kurama thought.

 

“Hey, I think we've got ourselves a little misunderstanding…” The girl in the blue outfit said from behind the dog demon. Kurama's eyes narrowed.

 

“Yoko….” Kurama smirked. She winked at him and he inwardly laughed.

 

“I wasn't going to hurt her! Where did you get that stupid idea! I'm pissed at Koenma, not YOKO!” Yusuke stomped.

 

“Takara, stop this. Honestly, these are Koenma's boys. I'd like to think he has better taste than ruffians.” Yoko complained. The dog demon turned around and her silver color tailed hit Yoko. She looked mildly annoyed.

 

“What the hell is going on here?! First Yoko is a demon, and then Keiko is back?” Kuwabara asked dumb founded. Yoko nodded thoughtfully.

 

“Yes, except… there is a bit more to the story.” Yoko admitted. Takara sighed and still kept most of her back towards the detectives.

 

{You know how this is going to end.} Takara mentioned.

 

{Yes, but I trust you'll take care of it.} Yoko shrugged.

 

“The next case you are being presented is mine,” Yoko began. “When I was younger, my family was very important in the Makai. They were feared by many and they ruled for a long time. But they made an unfortunate decision that ended up costing them their lives. My entire family was murdered a while back in the Makai, for no reason. I was the only one who survived, and the deranged murderer has been coming after me since. His name is Raidon. He is a kitsune who has the odd ability to control lighting. Because of his ability, he has been able to slay any of my kind who has tried to avenge my family. He has taken out all of those who have stood against him. Koenma has seen to it that I have been protected, but it isn't enough to run from this any more. I want his blood. I want him dead. I want revenge for what he did to my family…” Yoko broke off. Her eyes looked flat and off-in-space. Takara growled.

 

“Damnit!” Takara cursed.

 

“What's wrong with her?” Botan asked. Botan and Keiko rushed to Yoko and tried to wake her. She wouldn't move.

 

“Oh no… she's catatonic.” Takara said sarcastically. She seemed to be wasting her time.

 

`If every time you tell the story you escape, you might as well stop telling the damn story!! Agh! You frustrate me, Yoko.' Takara thought to herself. By now everyone had gathered in front of Yoko, trying to wake her.

 

“Hiei, wake her!” Yusuke demanded. Hiei glared at the detective, but when he looked at Kurama, the kitsune nodded. Hiei opened his Jagan and walked up to Yoko. He touched her and winced in pain.

 

“Fire cannot touch water, baka.” Takara said. Hiei gave her a death glare that should have scarred her for life, but Takara was too busy watching Yoko.

 

“Yoko… please wake up…” Keiko begged. Kurama looked frustrated.

 

“You would know nothing about water demons,” Takara said. Kurama was glad someone had said her demon type out loud. He was actually tired of guessing. “Water demons are emotionally advanced. They have the ability to lock themselves in their own little world. That's what Yoko has done. Too bad the only way to get her back is to kiss her…” Takara walked over to a tree and leaned against it.

 

“I'LL DO IT!!!!” Kuwabara jumped for the chance to kiss the pretty girl.

 

“Baka, if you kiss her, it will be the kiss of death. She doesn't need that.” Everyone looked at Hiei.

 

`That is a back handed way to compliment her…' Yusuke thought.

 

Kurama looked around at everyone and noticed that they seemed to have unanimously volunteered him silently. His heart raced as he stepped in front of Yoko. He tried not to shout in glee. Takara finally noticed that the kitsune had been offered up as the sacrifice.

 

`Oh no! That is totally unacceptable! I gotta tell them the truth!!' Takara got up quickly, but not soon enough. Kurama's lips touched Yoko's and the flat look in her eyes faded. Kurama pulled back quickly so he didn't startled Yoko when she woke; although he selfishly wanted more.

 

`Not a problem since Yusuke is out of the way!!!' Youko shouted in happiness.

 

“Oh… Sorry. Happens all the time.” Yoko smiled. Kurama was blushing bright red as Yusuke and Kuwabara were laughing. Botan and Keiko were `awwing' at how cute it was. Hiei was busy staring down the disgruntled dog demon, who looked like she had just lost a very important game. Kurama helped Yoko back to the temple while Yusuke tried his best to comfort Keiko, who was begging his forgiveness by crying. Kurama felt happier about the big reunion than he thought he should have, but he didn't want to think about that too much. Hiei was still focused on the unhappy dog demon that followed the gang inside.

 

There was something about her; and he wanted it.
