I Care for You…

He had done it. He had told her how much he loved her. And then she had refused. He was heart broken as he watched her walk away in the arms of anouther, smiling widely and blushing, as he whispered sweet nothing in her ears. Botan…

"Hey my baby…
Why you lookin' so down?
Seems like you need lovin'.
Baby you need a girl like me around."

His emerald-eyes where blood-shot and puffy from the tears he cried. Why, Botan? Why him, why Koenma? What did I do wrong? His red hair shielded his eyes as he sat on the edge of the cliff. Waves washed up fro the vast ocean beyond him.

"Hey my baby, tell me why you cry?
Here take my hand and yeah…
Wipe those tears from your eyes."

A figure leaned against the trees, warm, navy eyes trained on the prone figure. "Kurama…?" Her long, maraschino cherry colored hair whipped behind her as a gust blew. The figure rose, standing with her chest pressed against the bark of the old oak.

"Can I talk to you?
Comfort you…
Let you know,
I care for you.
Can I talk to you?
Comfort you…
Let you know,
I care for you…"

His chest constricted in pain. Anouther hard sob wracked through him. He shook badly, but remained in the same spot. I loved you… I love you… He slowly buried his face in his hands, still shivering.

"Hey sexy baby,
Why'd your girl leave you in the pain?
To let a fine man like u go…
She must be insane!"

"Oh, Kurama…" She couldn't stand it anymore. She slowly walked out of the shadow of the trees. "Please…" she whispered, her voice broken, but still strong. "Please don't cry, Kurama-kun… I don't want to see your tears anymore." He jumped, turning around in shock. He slowly stood. "E-Emiko?" She nodded. Kurama turned back away from her. "W-when did you-," he hiccupped here, cutting himself off. "When did you get back?"

"Hey sexy baby,
There's no need to worry no.
Oh boy if you call on me,
I'll come, I'll come in a hurry."

She smiled, slowly approaching him. "Just a few days ago… I stopped by your house but you weren't there…" Her smile faded. "What's wrong, Kurama-kun?" She walked over and knelt by him, slowly wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "It's Botan, isn't it?" He nodded weakly. Emiko felt tears sting at her eyes, he always loved Botan, but never had his feelings returned. "I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Can I talk to you?
Comfort you…
Let you know,
I care for you.
Can I talk to you?
Comfort you…
Let you know,
I care for you…"

Kurama felt anouther flow of warm tears slip from their barricade. "Don't apologize. It's not your fault."

"Please…"

"Nani?" He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Please stop crying, Kurama-kun…"

He just turned away.

No...

"Hold on,
Stay strong.
Press on,
I care for you.
Hold on,
Stay strong.
Press on,
I care for you."

They sat in silence for a few minutes. Kurama… I wish you would tell me what's wrong… He was in pain, it was obvious. Botan… I'll make you pay! But what could she do? He barely noticed she was there. She wanted to tell him… so badly… "Um… Kurama?" He didn't reply. He just sat there. Some might of that he was dead, save for the movement of his hands when he reached up and wiped his eyes, or when he hiccupped.

"Can I talk to you?
Comfort you.
Let you know,
I care for you.
Can I talk to you...?"

"Kurama…." She tried again.

"What?"

"I… I love you!" She threw herself at him, bringing them both to the ground. He was in shock. "E-Emiko?" He sobbed, hugging her back. "Thank you, Emiko," his voice was a hoarse whisper, "I-I… thank you."

"Aishiteru, Kurama-kun…"
