So here it goes, the second Chapter. I spent all of yesterday trying to think of how I wanted this
story to go, and I think I came up with a fairly good idea. But then again, maybe I haven't. . .but
that's up to all of you to decide! :) I got soooo many great reviews about my first story that I think it
may be hard to live up to it. . .but. . .here it is anyway. . .ENJOY! :)
I do not own Jin and Touya nor Yu Yu Hakusho (yo ho ho and a bottle of rum)

"He will come around in time Touya, you just have to give him his space."
"But I have given him time Kurama, and still he acts this way. I just don't understand. . ."
Kurama reached over and embraced Touya then, his arms holding him in such a way that it
was not romantic, but yet had the same appeal. He whispered his next words gently into the ice
demons ear, letting the calming tone of his deepened voice soothe the youkai's aching heart. "It is
only appropriate that Jin feel the way he does. He has been through a great ordeal, and yet even
after its end he suffers. You must understand that Jin's life has changed forever, and it will take a
while before he becomes used to that fact. But it is your job to be there with him. If you leave him
now, in his time of greatest need, then he truly has no reason to survive."
"BUT IT IS MY FAULT KURAMA! IF I HAD NOT SAVED HIM THEN HE WOULD
NOT HAVE TO SUFFER SO!" And the tears began to fall once again, each one making the sound
of glass as they hit the solid floor. And Kurama only held him tighter, his shoulder numbing slightly
as the frozen bits of water fell upon it.
"You must not blame yourself my friend. You only did what you knew in your heart to be
best. And I am sure, that if Jin saw you like this, he would take back all of what he has said. . ."
!@#$%^&*()
Jin could hear Touya's sobbing and his heart felt as though it would burst in agony with the
pain of it all. He wanted nothing more than to rush to the aide of his partner, but for now that could
not be. His legs would carry him no longer, and his powers would never rise again. It didn't matter
how much therapy he put himself through, he knew the truth, he alone knew it all. . .
(Back to "Of Ice and Wind", here the setting is inside of Jin's mind at the moment when Touya had
finished placing the 5 leaves into his back. So, even though there are quotation marks, the yakusha
had been destroyed and Touya cannot hear what is going on.)
"I'm sorry Touya. I know that you be tryin' to save me but. . .but I'm afraid it be of no use.
I wish I could make it back ta ya! I would give anythin' in the three worlds to be with ya now! But
nothin' can help it. . ."
"I can help."
"What?!? Whose there? Come on now, speak up!"
"What is it that you love the most wind master? Is it the youkai that cries for you now? Or
is it something else?"
"Why the devil would you be carin'? And who the hell might ya be?!"
"I care because you care and I give help to those who truly want it. I see the way that demon
pines for you and I cannot help but feel pitty."
"Touya will get through this."
"Are you so sure? Even now he thinks of killing himself to be with you. He has claimed his
love. Will you claim yours?"
"Damn it of course I will! I love that youkai more then anythin'!"
"So is that what you love the most?"
"Yes."
"You are sure there is nothing else?"
"Yes!"
"Then I shall make you a deal. I shall let you return to the one you call Touya. . .in
exchange for something of yours."
"And what might that be?"
"What do you care? If it is Touya that you love the most, then you shall not miss what it is I
take. But I would decide quickly, he is already forming his ice sword."
Jin only hesitated for a second. He didn't care what this creature would take from him, he
only wanted to be with his beloved. "I'll do it then. Take it from me, whatever it is! I know what I
want."
"Then the deal is done. Return now my little demon and be with he who matters most to
you. I have already taken what I need." And Jin began to feel heavier, and around him he could
feel Touya's arms holding him tightly. He could feel breath returning to him and his mind leaving
that realm of darkness. But before he regained his consciousness he could not help but ask.
"What is it that you have taken?"
"Your wind." And then it ended and he became so very empty and alone. . .

Bet you guys didn't see that comin'. I think it makes for an interesting twist and now I get to work
