Returning To You

A/N: Well here's my second chapter. I hope you enjoy. Please leave a review.

When Yusuke got up the next morning he was greeted by the smell of Keiko’s cooking. He walked into the kitchen to see her standing at the counter slicing vegetables.
“Morning sexy.”
Keiko turned to see Yusuke entering the kitchen.
“Morning.” She said turning back to what she was doing.
“Why are wearing that?” He asked of the gel filled eye mask.
“I have a headache and this helps.”
“Yeah, my mom used to use those too when she got a headache. But she usually got the headache because her boyfriend hit her.”
Keiko stopped chopping momentarily and started chopping again.
“He hit you didn’t’t he?”
“Who?”
“Matt.”
“Matt would never hit me.”
“Then take the mask off.”
“No….I can’t.”
Yusuke brought his fingers to her face and loosened the Velcro of the mask, letting it fall into his hand to exposing and bruised eye. He gently rubbed his thumb against the bruised area. She pulled back a little moving his hand from her eye.
“I have to finish cooking.” She said throwing the vegetables into a pan to sauté them for the omelet’s she was making.
“I’m going to kill him, that bastard, how could he do something like that. Where is he? If he thinks it fun to hit people lets see how much fun he’ll have getting hit.”
Keiko placed her hand on his arm. “Yusuke please don’t do anything. I’ll be fine.”
“He hit you. You expect me just to stand here and do nothing!” He yelled
“Please don’t be so loud. I don’t want anymore confrontations. I just want to pretend that this didn’t’t happen and go on with the of of the day.”
Yusuke stood there wishing that he could do something, but what?
“Well I see you two are up early.” Matt’s sister Amy said.
“Morning Amy, are you hungry I made breakfast.” She asked holding her head down.
“Well, somewhat, I’d prefer to eat out, but I suppose I’ll eat your cooking a least once. Poor Matty he has to eat your cooking all the time. I’m surprised he’s not dead.”
Yusuke balled up his fist wanting to put her back to sleep, but wasen’t able to because the rest of the family had come downstairs for breakfast. Keiko finished setting the table and served everyone before taking her seat between her husband and Yusuke.
“This is really good Keiko. I wish I lived closer, I’d come over for everyday.” He said knowing it would make her ass of a husband’s family cringe.
“So Yusuke…what do you do for a living?” Matt’s brother, Samuel asked.
“I’m a detective.” He said with a mouthful of eggs.
“Is that so?” Matt Sr, said not believing the black hair beauty.
“Yeah.” He replied flatly.
“Well as you know I’m a retired General….”
“I know that already. There’s no need for you repeat yourself.” He said cutting the general off.
“Keiko, how long have you known this poor excuse for a man.”
“Yusuke is a very good man. We’ve known each other since we were very young, about the age of five.”
“So what percent do you work for?” Matt Sr. asked.
“I’m business for myself.”
“Is that so, it seems that your little friend is quite the entrepreneur.” The General said looking at Keiko.
“Yes, he’s a very smart man.”
“It seems that you like him more than our Matty.” His mother said.
Keiko swallowed hard knowing that she was probably digging herself into a deeper whole with every word she spoke.
“Well, I wouldn’t be surprise if she did, your sons an asshole.” He said finishing the rest of his orange juice.
All the color ran from Keiko face. “Matt is going to kill me.” She thought to herself.
Her husband’s family sat in silence not knowing what to say.
“Keiko excuse yourself from the table and come into the living room. We need to talk about the way your guest is acting.”
She pushed away from the table and stood up.
Yusuke grabbed her arm, “Sit down, don’t let yourself be scared by that bastard.”
Keiko hesitantly sat down.
“Keiko what are you doing. I said get up and go in the living room. And you, you aren’t her boyfriend, I am the man of this house, so how do you march in here and shout commands?”
Yusuke stood up from his seat and got in Matt’s face. “Look you fucking pussy, I have to protect her from your punk ass. You call yourself a man, but yet you beat up on women. That’s not a real man. You classify yourself as a man, but your not, having a dick doesn’t make you a man.”
“Your going to regret ever speaking to me like that in my house.”
Yusuke smiled and brought his hand to Matt’s face, gently flicking his finger against his forehead, Matt fell to the ground unconscious.
“God…you son gives Muhammad Ali and run for his money.”
Yusuke turned to Keiko and smiled. “Keiko?”
“Yeah?”
“Would you like to come home with me?”
Keiko smiled and nodded.
“Come on…I’ll help you pack.”
