Botan's Mistake, Guilt, and Solution

I didn't mean to hurt him. He told me his secret. It was such a big secret that when he told me all I could do was to slap him across the face.

He has always been so nice and sweet towards me. I know that he has risked everything for me and how did I repay him. I hurt him quite badly with one slap.

I will never forget the hurt in his eyes. Anyone could see the hurt. The hurt in his eyes changed to a look of shock and sadness when he touched his face. He put his right hand up to his face and felt where I slapped him.

After touching the red mark, tears started pouring down his cheeks. After a minute of staring at me, he spun around on his heel and ran away from me.

I heard his bedroom door slam shut. I started to go to his door, but something made me change my mind. I went to my room and packed some clothes so I could leave and find a hotel or a motel and spend the night there.

The next day I awoke to pounding on my door. Yusuke and Kuwabara were standing there, so I invited them inside the room. Yusuke got straight to the point on why they were there. Yusuke said he was dead. Kuwabara gave me a letter that was written by him.
The letter had read:
I am so sorry that I told you my secret. I wish that I
never told you that I loved you, but after
loving you for so long it just felt so right to tell
you. I just can't handle the pain in my heart now. It
would have been so much better if I never told you,
because then I could still be with you. I hope someday
that you find the person you belong with, Botan. I will
love you forever. Good-bye my dear, sweet Botan.
Love always,
Koenma

After I finished reading the letter from Koenma, I fell into a chair and asked Yusuke how he died. Yusuke told me that Koenma was found hanged in his room. He said that there was no foul play and that Koenma must have done it to himself. Kuwabara said that he couldn't figure out why Koenma killed himself.

After the both left, I just sat on the bed and cried. How could I have told Koenma that I loved him when he caught me off-guard like that. I am truly sorry and I wish that I was able to tell him that I loved him back. I will miss you, Koenma, and I will never love another again.

I will make certain that I will never love again as I hold the knife to my wrists. I had gone out and bought a knife and took it back to my hotel room. As I hold it over my wrists, I think about my true love, Koenma. Too bad this is the last way I can be with him. I am coming to you, Koenma.
