Chapter One: Help
Keiko stared at the wall as she let the words flow from her lips. It was bad enough she was having to rely on Shizuru for help but Kuwabara wasn't far from them in the kitchen listening to every word. The night sky had found her to be at a loss. All her life she'd been considered to be popular, pretty and smart. Now, it seemed she was none of those things. A failure was exactly what she was! No one seemed to understand her, not even Yusuke. He was the one person that she needed to know her. Growing up together had given them an unbreakable bond but was it enough? Enough to be happy? Enough to spend years together, feeling contentment? The last few years had been hard on them both, him more so. There was no greater need for her than to understand him. How could she when he never talked to her? That was all she ever asked for. It started with his problems at school, he'd shut her out then.
His death had made her realize just how much he meant to her. Him coming back should have brought them closer, instead it confused her more. The secrets with him being the spirit detective was just one example. Botan had been the one to fill her in on everything. Why couldn't Yusuke open up to her enough to let her in? What really left her unsure was his youkai heritage. That day he came to her and said he was leaving. He'd never given her a reason why, just he was going away for awhile. After talking to Kurama she knew why. That day on the hill she would have loved to hear him explain his needs and desires. The boy she'd grown up with had turned into a man wanting to find out who he really was. If he only would have told her of his confusion, the inner turmoil. If she was his girlfriend shouldn't she be the one he could lean on?
Through all her self-doubt and fears she'd waited for him to return. Unsure of what the reason was for his departure, she'd been true. After all wasn't Yusuke worth waiting on? Sometimes she wasn't so sure anymore. Those two years it seemed he just wanted to run away and fight. Fight others to aviod what was really bothering him. When would he stop fighting within himself so he could begin enjoying life? He might have centuries to waste but she didn't. She wanted what her parents had, that special relationship. It hurt her now to see them smiling and laughing with each other. She was happy that her parents were still so much in love but it pointed out what she was missing.
A month ago Yusuke had been back for a year, back with her. To celebrate she'd went to his apartment for the evening.She'd always thought to lose her virginity on her wedding night, she'd thought wrong. Yusuke had never been one to show emotions or affection that often so when he'd suddenly started showing more than enough she'd given in. All the touching made her feel wanted and loved. Finally they were taking their relationship to the next level.The first act of love had been extremely painful. The little birds and bees talk with her mother hadn't left her prepared for what she'd experienced. Being in an all girls school gave her some information about sex. Those girls in gym class always bragged about how good it felt. Talk of an undeniable point of intense pleasure. Keiko knew it was refered to as an orgasm or getting off to some.Yusuke had no doubt reached that point but she didn't think she had. In reality the penetration had lasted mere minutes but seemed longer to her. The feeling of him moving within her hadn't been painful the second time but she hadn't felt any real pleasure from it either.
It made her wonder for the last two weeks if she was doing something wrong. Everytime was much the same, they'd kiss for awhile then end up having sex. Takiya, a girl in her chemisty class shared details of her sex life. How sex could last for hours and all about foreplay. Keiko couldn't imagine a man kissing her down there but it was suppose to be extremely exotic. The only place Yusuke had kissed her besides her mouth was on the neck. Did he not want to explore the rest of her body? She thought of the ways there was to touch him but was too unsure of herself to attempt it. When they got past the kissing he was usually begining the penetration part.
Last night he'd come over since her parents were taking a vacation for two weeks. It had been her idea to make an awesome dinner, a nice evening together. Everything should have been perfect. He'd quickly eaten the carefully prepared meal without savoring the time she'd put into it. Instead of watching the movie rented earlier that morning he'd went straight to kissing her. Knowing what was soon to follow she'd pushed him away. The need for sex hadn't been occupying her mind but the need of companionship. It would have felt good to lean back cuddling during what was suppose to be a emmy winning flick. Twenty minutes into the movie another pass was made towards sex. Wanting to please him, giving in was her only choice.
After the disappointing coupling her anger had flared to life when he rolled over wanting to sleep. So much for the wonderful night of romance. Their fights usually consisted her bitching at him and him sulking. Last night he'd yelled back and gave as good as he got. She wasn't sure what was bothering him but had recieved the full brunt of his irritation. As much as he blew up, he had to be pissed at the world. Feeling incompetent she threw anything she could in his face. The straw had been thrown with her cutting remark on their sex life. "Yusuke, if you cared about pleasing me as much as you did fighting maybe I wouldn't mind having sex so often." The words had left her mouth before her brain could think.There was a brief flicker of anger then the hurt look had crossed his face. It had been wrong to make such a remark. After all he'd been a virgin also, he wasn't experienced either. A bitch, that's what she was. It hadn't shocked neither of them when he'd coldly informed her that they should spend time apart. Yusuke had dumped her and she couldn't blame him.
All day he'd hung up everytime she'd tried to call. For once she was the one doing the wrong. Not once had she wanted to hurt him or cause pain. It just hurt when he shut her out and made her feel like one of his friends. Wasn't she more to him? This time it would take more than talking to set things right. Was all their problems her fault? Could she possibly change to make him happy? Willing to try anything she'd sought out Shizuru for some advice. Which brought her to the current predicament. Having told the older girl the problem she waited patiently for a reply.
"I don't know what to tell you. I knew you and Yusuke had problems but I'm not the best expert on love. I've seen you both change over the years. Either you grow closer together or apart, there's no getting around it. Everyone knows Yusuke loves you, he'll forgive you. On the other hand seems you are worried about the whole sex thing. I can't help you there but I can help some. You want him back and want to change somethings. All I can tell you that if you want to change do it for yourself, not him." Shizuru lit the tip of her cigarette briefly looking at the initials. What the hell did she know about love? Only once had the emotion touched her heart but briefly. The few men she'd dated turned out to be losers. Maybe Keiko couldn't be happy for the same reason Yusuke felt pressured. The boy had gone to the Makai to find himself and had it seemed. Was the person he'd found the right one for Keiko? "Keiko, maybe Yusuke is right and you two need sometime apart. I'm not saying go your seperate ways, just a small break. Seems you think something is missing. I've learned the best way to find out what, is to start the search within yourself. Spend a couple of weeks alone, let your hair down. Make sure you are happy with yourself before trying to be happy with a man. That alone is a full-time job."
"I see," Keiko felt the truth of the words take their toll. Maybe the problem wasn't with Yusuke but herself. Did she even like whom she was? The advice was worth considering, if not following. If Yusuke loved her he'd wait on her like she'd done him. A trip of self discovery was long overdue in her case. That still left the problem of the sex. "You're right but what about how to please him? If we work things out I want to please him there also."
"My sexual encounters are much like your own girl. I've never cared to know how to go out of my way for a man. I'm sure as long as they get off they are happy." Shizuru took a drag of her smoke. The reply seemed to upset the girl, she was serious. Only having sex twice Shizuru had no idea how to help her out. The best way for the girl to learn what turns a man on and pleases him would be to ask one. "Hell if you really wanna know what men like ask one. Hey Kuzuma come here quick!" She yelled for her brother she sensed listening intently in the kitchen.
"WHOA!!! Don't be asking me anything like that." Kuwabara pointed towards the two girls on the couch. They must think they were funny discussing this in front of him. The thought of Urameshi naked gave him the willies, gross. He didn't want to discuss his best friend's sex life, especially with the girl he's doing it with. Of course he wouldn't admit that he was still a virgin. Convincing Yukina to have sex with him would be as tough as getting Hiei to smile. One man could only do so much, even if he was the Great Kuwabara. "You want to know about all that crap go ask someone else. Try Kurama, he's the smart one. I'm sure he'll have some advice for you."
Keiko frowned at the suggestion. It had some merit but could she do it? All those close to him knew he was very old and wise. Could she go ask one of Yusuke's good friends about sex? The man was polite in most ways but something about him unnerved her. It was the way he looked at her sometimes. The expression was hard to explain, there was alot she didn't know. If she did go to him, he'd be the one to keep it between them. "Maybe I'll do that. Shizuru you got any plans for tomorrow? I think a trip to the mall would be fun."
"How did you expect her to feel Yusuke? Sounds like she went through alot of trouble to make a pleasant evening and you were inconsiderate. I know you see her as the girl you grew up with but Keiko is still female. All females like to be courted and pampered despite what you may see on the outside." Kurama handed his friend a glass of tea then sat down at the table. Why the girl put with everything the boy did was beyond him. Loving someone wasn't the same as being in love. The last thing he wanted to do was sit and listen to the boy bitch. But what were friends for? For years he'd watched Yusuke grow from a boy to a young man, a powerful man.
"So I fucked up again. Leave it to Yusuke to piss everyone off. First my mom then Keiko. Man, I dumped her! What she said hurt and I got angry. I think I was more pissed at myself cause I know she was right. It's just now that we've passed that point I know I'm disappointing her in that department. I can tell that she isn't enjoying the sex. I don't know what else to do about it. She's right, I'm a hell of a lot better at fighting than I am at foreplay." Yusuke slammed his hand across the table causing the glass to tip over. "Oh shit!"
Kurama quickly got up to grab a towel to clean up the mess. He wasn't the right person to give Yusuke advice on how to handle Keiko. If she were his things would be different. The girl had a point and they both knew it. Yusuke's life had all been about fighting, he'd never enjoyed life. Which also meant the pleasurable parts. Most men didn't care if their partners were satisfied also, a fool's way of thinking. Any intellegent man knew that if his partner was enjoying themself they'd go out their way to make sure you were as well. Climbing straight on a girl wasn't the way to ensure she reached her peak.
The part of himself that was Youko was slightly pleased to hear the news of the break up. He mentally scolded himself for being even the slightest bit happy. Keiko belonged to Yusuke, she wasn't his. There was no doubt he cared about the girl, they all did. Yet he'd watched her from afar for years. From the time Yusuke and himself had saved her from Hiei. It more than evident that she was something special to him. A human female full of life and enough spunk for ten youkai women. A temper that made her eyes flash with an undeniable spark. Seeing the way she handled herself made him want to tame that fiery spirit. Add in the fact she was very pretty, an amazing body and passion that had yet to be awakened. He doubted Yusuke would ever manage to stir the passion he'd seen laying dormant deep in her soul or body. There had been an attraction on his part from the begining but she was in love with one of his best friends.
"Perhaps you should give her some space. Keiko loves you, she'll forgive you in time." Kurama smiled weakly knowing part of him hoped the girl didn't. It didn't matter if she did or not. No matter what their future held, she was never to be in his. His life would continue as it was now, single. There was a girl he casually dated just to appease his mother but nothing more. Settling down in the Ningenkai wasn't an option. Like Yusuke he wouldn't grow old with everyone they knew.
Yusuke leaned back in the chair knowing Kurama was right. Keiko would come to him when she forgave him. He'd apologize then and make things right. It would serve him right if she didn't come back this time. After waiting for him for two years, she deserved more than he'd given her. If one person had always been there for him it had been Keiko. Hell he was alive today because of her. After this blew over he'd make sure to do whatever it took to make her happy.
The fox knew the discussion was over for now. It was just as well, he wasn't the right person. In his mind Yusuke didn't deserve the girl. It wasn't his place to judge their relationship, not when he wasn't being fair. Even if the chance came up for him to make a move, he wouldn't. It wouldn't be fair to Keiko for him to hit on her. The part of him that was youkai would keep him from having a relationship with the girl. No matter how much his fox wanted to bed her.It reminded him the classic tale of forbidden fruit. She was the apple he could never taste, never claim as his own.
Keiko lightly tapped on the door feeling foolish for even coming. What was she doing here? It had taken two days to get up the courage to make it thus far. She didn't really know Kurama that well, this couldn't be good. He'd probably laugh at her request but what options were left to her? Not wanting to make a fool of herself by admitting that she was completely ignorant about sex she'd gone to the library. The only books she'd found had been filled with nothing but useless facts. Shizuru was right, if she wanted to know she'd have to ask a male. None of the boys at school would do, they'd see it as her being interested. Kurama was her only option since Kuzuma was just as ignorant as she.
Nimble fingers brushed at imaginary lint upon her new skirt. It felt weird wearing something so short and revealing but Shizuru had swore that it looked good on her. Yesterday they'd finished up shopping after dinner. Her wardrobe consisted of several new dresses, some new tops and skirts. There were a few shorts that she'd bought to shut the older girl up but refused to wear. For a treat they'd gone to a salon and had a make over. Shizuru had gotten a nice short hair style while Keiko had let the lady talk her into getting some lighter streaks put in. She felt a little different but the change wasn't just on the outside. Everyone was right she took things too serious. She only had one life to live, time to make the most of it.
The shirt was a simple white tank top that only showed the smallest amount of cleavage but it went well with the dark burgendy skirt. Her long brown hair was pulled back in a white ribbon. White sandals completed the outfit, simple but complemented her complexion. Taking extra time with her appearance everyday was to be her new habit. It had made her feel good when Yusuke saw her on the way over. She'd seen him standing on the street talking to Kuzuma as she crossed the intersection. Shizuru said it would do him good to fret a little and only let him see her. The way his mouth had hung open had been worth the money spent. It didn't matter if many a guy had stopped in their tracks to take an extra look.
The door swung open suddenly and she yelped in surprise. How stupid could she have been? No matter how low she knocked Kurama would hear it. Part of her had hoped he wouldn't and she could fool herself into thinking she'd tried. His expression changed from confusion to shock within seconds. He was probably wondering what the hell she was doing on his doorstep. He was best friends with Yusuke but they had never really been close. A light smile helped ease some of her fear but she couldn't help but fidget as he gazed at her. If she was lucky the ground would swallow her up.
"Keiko?" He waited for the girl to speak. She looked more ready to bolt than to invite herself in. Quickly taking in the clothing and hair, he had to admit she looked stunning. Why was Keiko standing at his doorstep? He'd been finishing up the dishes when he'd heard the timid tapping on the door. Unsure if it was his door or nextdoor considering how light it was he'd decided to make sure. Now he was glad he'd inspected. Another minute of hesistation she would have fleed and he'd have never known of her visit. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just needed to ask you something." How was she going to get through this? She felt like such an idiot. What could she say? 'Hey Kurama, I suck in bed. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?' That sounded so lame, she felt like slapping her own forhead. If she didn't ask him for advice what alternative was there? Just spit it out and be done with it. She had to look even more stupid standing with her mouth half open, like she was posing for Idiots-R-Us. Time to stick her foot in her mouth, get it over with. It was for Yusuke, "Hey, I know I came out of the blue but I needed to ask a favor of you."
Kurama noticed the pause then nothing. Whatever the girl wanted to say she was having a hard time getting out. It wasn't like the Keiko he knew that always spoke her mind. This was the girl brave enough to insult youkai while sitting in the middle of thousands. She was braver than most of his kind so what was the problem? Whatever it was she seemed to be choking on it. Maybe a little baiting would get it out of her. "Speak Keiko, I've never known you to be scared to speak your mind."
He was right and it irked her to no end. Why was she stalling? Just ask so he could turn her down and she could go home and lick her wounds. Taking a deep breath she began. "Okay, here's my problem. Yusuke and I broke up and I think it's all my fault. I'm smart when it comes to english and history but I know nothing about what mostly goes on between a couple. I don't think I have what it takes to please Yusuke in the sexual area. I asked Shizuru but then they said to ask you." Keiko felt the fire scorch her face as his eyes widened with every word. Damnit, she sounded like a babbling idiot.
Kurama felt his heart stop at the speech. It was so rushed he'd have missed half the words if he'd been human. It must have taken alot of nerve for her to bring herself here. He was stunned at the suggestion of talking about sex to her. The youkai side was already having nasty thoughts even if she'd just asked for advice. Not knowing how to answer he stayed silent. He felt like he'd be violating him and Yusuke's friendship just by thinking about discussing the issue with the girl. Yet it would just be talking, what harm could there be? Before he could make up his mind a red faced Keiko spun on her heels and ran down the hall. His eyes watched her until the top of her head cleared the steps.
