On my way to meet up with Y/N, my mind wandered to Yuskue. I really hope he's ok, I don't know if he knows this yet, but he means the world to me. We just recently started dating, we haven't even gone on our first date yet, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that he's the love of my life, no one can compare to him. I hope he's careful, I can't lose him, I don't know what I'd do without him. I know he's gone on so many missions before but each time he goes on one, it scares me. What if something goes wrong? I felt water fall down my face and instantly wiped my face. I could tell it was tears since it wasn't raining. I got to Hiei's house where Y/N was staying while she waited for him to come back and I could tell she was worried. She cares for Hiei and she hasn't gone through this before, this is her first time waiting for him to come back from a dangerous mission.

Knocking on the door, I made sure my face was dry right before Kurama opened the door, "hey Keiko, come on in." He smiles, opening the door wider for me.

"Thanks," I nod, walking in, taking in my surroundings. "So, where's Y/N?"

"She's made her way back over to the couch. She's barely moved, just enough to let me know you were coming over. She's not taking the situation so well."

"I'll see if I can talk to her," I nod, walking over to the couch. Y/N was laying on the couch, clenching her fist around a blanket as she kept it pulled up close to her chest, tears falling down her face as she stared at the wall, I don't think she noticed me yet. "Y/N," I whisper, crouching in front of her.

"Hey Keiko," she says, monotone. "You got here fast."

"Yeah, well I'm just as worried about Yusuke as you are of Hiei."

"I want him here with me, I can't explain why, but him not being here is tearing me apart, I miss him so much."

"You care for him Y/N, and that's ok! It's good to be worried, it shows that you care!"

"How do you live with this? Constantly worrying about Yusuke and if he's gonna make it home?"

"I just do...I don't know how to explain it."

"Does it get easier?"

"I'm gonna be honest with you, it doesn't. In fact the more missions he goes on, the harder it gets."

"That's not what I wanted to hear."

"I know but I figured the truth was better than false hope."

"Thanks Keiko," she says, sitting up, "wanna join me on the couch?" I nod and sit beside her on the couch, going under the covers with her, closing my eyes, tired from all the crying.
