Hello friends and haters! I'm back for the final installment of my YYH fic! Hooray! I've been away from this series for so long…I've missed it too. It's kinda sad it's ending now. Also, this was supposed to be out earlier, but well…let's just say there are kinda sad things going on titangirl's family. Thank you reviewers! You guys all get e-cookies of your choice of flavor! So let's do this! Scribble?

Scribble: We STILL don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Also, seeing as there's 15 chapters of HxH out without Togashi going on another 2 yr hiatus, the world must be ending, so we never will own it.

W2cm also gets e-cookies for being cool and beta-ing.

Childhood Part III

Keiko was up the next morning ready for school, and when she stepped outside, true to his word, she saw Yusuke standing there waiting for her. He saw her come outside and smiled at her. "Morning!"

"Good morning! Sorry I made you wait!" Keiko called out as she walked up to him and they started walking together.

"It's no problem, I had just got there. I thought I was late, the way my mom kept shaking me to wake me up."

Keiko laughed. The two of them talked as they continued on their way and soon had made it to the school. They were in different classes, so they had to split up. "I'll walk home with you too," Yusuke volunteered.

"Thank you, I'd like that! I'll meet you right here by the gates!"

"Alright!" he agreed, and the two of them left for their own class.

Keiko arrived at her class a little early, and a few girls came over to her. "Hey, are you new here?" they asked.

"Yes, my name is Keiko; I'm looking forward to meeting everyone here."

"It's nice meeting you Keiko! I'm Eri and this is Yuki. And don't worry, we'll tell you all about this place and the people."

Keiko smiled; glad to have made friends so easily. The two girls went on about different things, and finally Eri ended it by saying, "And just remember, there is only one person you REALLY want to avoid."

"It's just luck that he's not in our class," Yuki agreed.

"Huh? Who are you talking about?" Keiko asked.

"There's this one boy, and he's already got people talking about him."

"And NOT in the good way," Eri added.

"Some people say he's not even human, but some kind of demon," Yuki continued.

"Oh no, who is it?" Keiko asked feeling a bit apprehensive.

"His name is Yusuke something," Yuki told her.

"Yusuke Urameshi," Eri corrected.

Now Keiko was just confused. "What?"

"Just try to avoid him if you can. He's strong and can beat up even older kids."

Keiko was silent, still more confused. The teacher came in shortly after and began teaching, but Keiko couldn't concentrate. Yusuke had seemed so nice to her, how could they be saying he was a demon? Sure, he had beaten up those boys, but that was because they had been picking on her.

She was distracted and didn't even notice when it was time to leave. She and the other two headed out and they noticed how quiet she was. "Hey, are you alright? You look a little sad," Yuki said.

Keiko shook her head. "Not really. It's just-"

She never got a chance to finish her thought. As they were leaving, some older kids hanging around outside knocked into Eri and pushed her down.

"Ow!" Eri cried out as she fell.

"Watch where you're going shrimp!" another one yelled at her. Keiko recognized them immediately. It was the same three boys who had been picking on her yesterday. "Leave her alone! You're the one who should apologize!" she told them.

"Keiko, what are you doing?" Eri whispered.

"Hey, it's the girl from yesterday," one said.

"Who cares? It's not like her boyfriend is around to save her today."

"Wow, you guys are really slow learners, aren't you?" another voice asked. Speaking of the devil, Yusuke had just come up. "Didn't I tell you to leave her alone yesterday? I guess I'll have to teach you guys a lesson all over again." And as Keiko helped Eri to her feet, Yusuke beat up the others again, and soon they were all limping away from him while Yuki squeaked, "That's him, that's Yusuke Urameshi!"

"Idiots, all of them," Yusuke muttered. He turned to the three girls. "You're ok, right Keiko?"

The two other girls turned to stare at her. "You mean you know him???"

And Keiko, her mind made up, looked straight back at them. "Of course I know him. He helped me out yesterday, and walked me to school, and helped me again right now. He's my friend. And you guys shouldn't say bad things about people you really don't even know. Anyway, I already agreed to walk home with him, so I'll have to say goodbye now. I'll see you tomorrow."

The girls still looked mystified, but they shrugged and said, "Well, ok, see you tomorrow then."

They parted ways, and Yusuke looked pretty confused. "What are you guys talking about?"

Keiko smiled at him. "Oh, nothing important." They continued until they were outside Keiko's home again. "Will you come out tomorrow too?" she asked.

"Of course! I'll be out here to walk you to school tomorrow! I'll see you then!"

He left for his own home as she waved goodbye to him. Keiko smiled. She somehow knew this was the start of something amazing.

Scribble: Your endings suck!

Me: Yeah, well, I really couldn't come up with a better ending line. I actually meant to end it as they left, but it still didn't feel right doing that either. Well, here's the conclusion! Yay! After this come an attempt at Code Geass, then Saiyuki, then…I don't know. Whatever comes to me…perhaps another D. Gray man. We will see. So how was it? Hiei takes all useless flames and incinerates said flamers. Con crit is appreciated, and good reviews are loved. Long Live the Reikai Tentai!
