A/N: this is just something I thought up one day... my Friend was writing a bunch of one-shots so I thought I'd try..... I got stuck and didn't finish it till last night.... so I hope you enjoy it.... the time is on the boat coming home from the dark tournament.

You Are My Life

'Sitting here next to you, I can't help but think about how close I was to losing you again. I keep replaying the events in my head. It seems like just yesterday we were little kids playing on the swings together. When you died the first time, I didn't know how to go on with my life. I missed your cocky attitude. I missed dragging you to school everyday, and waking up in the middle of the night wondering if you were ok. I even missed your pranks. But then, you came back to me. I thought everything was going to be normal again. Soon you disappeared, for 6 months. I spent every night crying, hoping you would come to me in my dreams like you did before, and every morning, I would wake up alone. When you finally did come back, you were different. You kept disappearing. Now that I know the truth, I realize that things will never be normal again. As I watched you fight demon after demon I kept hoping it was just a dream and I would wake up in my bed the next morning and it would all be over. It wasn't. Now that we're going home, I keep looking back at everything you've been through, I see how much... stronger and.... happier you are. I promise you, no matter what, I will love you and stick by your side forever, even if it cost me my life. You are my life, Yusuke Urameshi.' Keiko thought.

Yusuke looked over at Keiko.

"Are you ok? You seem preoccupied. Something on your mind?"

She thought for a minute about telling him what she was thinking.

"No. Everything's fine." She replied. She would tell him someday, when the time was right, but not now. "It's a beautiful sunset, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is."

'Not half as beautiful as you.' Yusuke thought. 'If you only knew. The only reason I'm here is because of you. I owe you my life, and I will protect you with everything I am. You are my life, Keiko Yukimora.'
