Black Hole Sun
A Yu Yu Hakusho fanficton by Sir Psycho Sexy
A/N: Written for the YYH fic contest at Live Journal, theme "sunshine".
The first thing he remembered when he first actually saw Sensui, when he was actually material and not just a legend, was one thing: that light. The light that danced upon the Spirit Detective's hands like a miniature star, a small blob of plasma, that had the ability to blow up at any time at any opponent, that sheer power which, Itsuki thought, could be at least comparable to a Big Bang. The light and the power which awed him so.
When he got to know Sensui better, he felt as if by looking at him he were staring directly into the sun. The boy's brilliance and absolutism were such that Itsuki could not, and would not look away; he did not fear going blind, as he would have sacrificed any part of his body to make Sensui happy, and, as a being coming from darkness, he really did not need his eyes anyway. He began to sense the boy's gravitational pull, and, like a outside planet being captured by a star, he fell into an increasingly faster orbit around him, following him even after that night when Sensui began to collapse in on himself.
Now Itsuki had to deal with a contradiction of a man: someone who was still as bright as a sun, and yet as dark and self-absorbed as a black hole, sucking in all of the negativity around hi, fracturing ever further into something that did not resemble the original bright, burning star. And he was orbiting ever faster around him, never once afraid of being completely consumed by him, never afraid of being stretched thin into an atom-thick string of spaghetti that contained a million universe's worth of suffering. ON the contrary, any amount of suffering Itsuki had to deal with for Sensui's sake, he would gladly take it and ask for more, knowing that he could never suffer enough for what Sensui meant to him; this was his own personal joy.
Sometimes, however, the black hole seemed to become a bright supernova of holy energy; it was contrary to the laws of physics and of the universe, but Sensui was so impressive a man, in Itsuki's opinion, that he could break those laws if he so desired. Again, he did not fear being blinded by that light; he imagined it holding him supportively even as it burned through his B-class skin, causing him impressive agony, exquisite suffering, much like Sensui himself now would.
A star, like a man, has to die someday; Itsuki knew this all too well. But a man, unlike a star, got too choose the way in which he left this world; Sensui's way was annihilation, darkness, something befitting an all-consuming supermassive black hole.
AS Itsuki carried Sensui's body off into the Ura-otoko, he mused that Sensui had been his black hole sun: even in death and darkness, he still held his pull over the yaminade, and no one, not even Spirit World, could fully extinguish the brilliance of his light.
