So what if Sakyou survived the Dark Tournament? I always thought about it and decided hey why not create a story on it? Well anyways onto Shizuru and Sakyou.

I do not own any characters of Yu Yu Hakusho, this is for pure entertainment purposes and just a way to express some creativity, (even if it is horrible.)

For the first chapter its Shizuru's POV then I move out of it and move into the general POV, but it will sometimes go between Shizuru and Sakyou.

Apologies for not updating, but I am hoping to continue and finish within the next few chapters.


Shizuru's POV

Well, I don't know why I bother with men. They are there one minute and dead the next. Sakyou. I thought as I lit another cigarette, trying to calm myself and my misery. Though, no one would have guessed I was upset. Not even my little idiot brother Kazuma. He was too consumed in his own life and Yukina. Everyone else was also too preoccupied with getting ready to go home. I wasn't excited to go home. Back to my worthless life, that revolves around making sure Kazuma goes to school and gets a good job. I sighed as I repositioned myself in the chair. I took out the lighter he gave me and stared at the initials. "Asshole," I said quietly getting up from the chair, holding onto the lighter, tightly and walking out of the room.

As I walked down the hallway, I clutched the lighter and stuffed my hands into my pocket. My misery was starting to seep through and I wasn't about to let anyone get the broad side of my attitude. I finally made my way outside, and towards the ocean front. I walked faster and faster in hope my misery wouldn't catch up with me. When I did finally make it to the oceanfront, I collapsed to my knees, preventing myself from barely crying.

"You stupid fool why did you have to go and do that for?! Why did you leave?! I hate you for this, all my pain and misery, why did I have to fall for an arrogant asshole like you?!" I said and now the tears started to pour down my face. "I hate you" I mumbled and tried to stop my stupid tears and eventually all that was left was tear stains left. My body curved an outline in the sand and the waves crashed against the rocks. I didn't want to wallow in my misery anymore.

I started to rise to my feet and looked at my watch for the time. "Great, guess it's time to meet up with the losers" I looked out at the ocean one last time and started to walk back to the hotel. My thoughts consumed me, but it was only on one subject. I sighed and walked into the hotel and up to my room. Inside my room, Botan and Keiko are waiting for me.

"Hey, Shizuru! We were wondering where you went, anyways, the boys are getting restless, we should get going." Botan said slightly happy, the death of Genkai was still affecting her greatly.

"Yeah yeah, I just went outside for a walk, and to have a cigarette," I said picking up my bags and walking out. Botan and Keiko followed me downstairs to the lobby to see the boys talking, and of course, Kazuma was running his mouth. The minute I showed up and started to interrupt him, he turns coward. I rolled my eyes slightly, he will face a demonic twisted Toguro brother, but he can't face me. After getting Kazuma to take my bags, Yukina's and Botan's, we casually made our way to the boat pick up spot.

As we were all making our way, we heard an older woman call out. Turning we see Genkai, well I will be damned so the dead can come back to life. I sighed slightly, but let that thought of Sakyou slip out of my mind, running to Genkai and greeted her. Yusuke was the one who was ecstatic to see her. I smiled as did everyone no one could keep a grin, in Hiei's case or a smile off their faces. No one could believe Genkai was back from the dead, Toguro killed her and she died in Yusuke's arms, so the story goes, yet here she was, alive. The boat had finally hit the coast and we all began our descend to it. Once aboard we all went out own ways, and I went in search of an empty deck. Luckily I did find a spot that no one decided to crowd. I lit up another cigarette with his lighter again and looked out at the sea. I took a long drag and just stared in wonder. I knew Sakyou was a bad guy and has done awful things, but I mean he has to have a heart if he saved me from the demons right? Or would it have looked bad on his part to have a human die at the Dark Tournament, not like many would have cared anyway? In that moment of time the look in his eyes, there was no mistake we made a connection. He was a supposed gambler but he couldn't even keep a poker face with me. Oh Sakyou…. You idiot, I sighed deeply as the boat continued home
