“And then what?” she replied. Although she sounded disturbed by his presence, secretly Kayko truly cared for him.

Yusuke Urameshi instantly responded by placing his hands into her own. “Then lets get married.”

Kayko gasped. This was something that she was not expecting, but Yusuke could be tricky. Kayko had known him since they were six-years-old, and whenever they had fights back then he would often use this line of rhetoric to gain sympathy from her. “…I don’t know Yusuke. I don’t know how my ‘new boyfriend’ would appreciate that.”

Kayko pulled her silky hands away from his, but Yusuke never took his brown eyes off her.

“Kayko, you know that I love you.”

She walked away from him. “Yeah, yeah.”

“Three years and we’ll get married.”

“Whatever.”

After Kayko was far enough away from Yusuke she began to think about her conversation with him. “I know he’s done this kind of thing before…but at the same time the look on his face was just so serious. I’ve never seen it so serious before. Maybe…”

She turned back to look at Yusuke, but all she could see was the top of his jet-black hair. Kayko’s brown eyes started to water. Tomorrow he was to set out for Demon World to face his ancestor-father. “Will I ever see him again? Yusuke, please give me a signal to let me know everything’s going to be all right.”

Kayko’s thoughts were telepathic. Immediately after she finished her thought, she watched Yusuke turn around and give what appeared to be a bow. However, Kayko did not understand if the ‘bow’ was to symbolize saying “goodbye” or “I’ll be back.” She did know one thing, however. Yusuke was usually pretty good at keeping his promises to her.
