I don't think that…

You don't notice me staring at you as we sit on the beach watching the golden sunset together. I drink in the image of your sun-drenched body and suppress a sigh. We haven't spoken in hours and I can't bring myself to speak up. Something about you – your sad brown eyes or your constant frown – is discerning and not at all the Yusuke I fell in love with.

I don't think that I love you…

I know exactly when it happened. After the Ankoku Bujutsukai, you began to pull away. The human world was dull and lifeless, exactly as you were. And then Sensui , your predecessor, awoke you. You were on fire with life and I was jealous. You had never been so happy in my arms as you were fighting that man.

"Yusuke…"

"Yes, Kurama?" Dull and lifeless. I could see beneath the depression a yearning for action – the demon world – your father – a meaning to your life.

"I'm sorry, I…"

I know that I don't love you anymore.
