Disclaimer: I do not own Yuu Yuu Hakusho nor do I make any money from this piece of fan fiction.

Reader Warnings: One-sided shounen-ai, if you squint a little. Fairly obvious which the pairing this is.

AN: I'm surprised I came up with this for the pairing in question. I'm not a huge fan of those two together, but I can see it as a one-sided deal. I got the inspiration for this while watching the funeral scene from Daredevil of all things.

Stay

Stay with me.

That's all I wanted. I wanted him to be there forever.

He refused.

I grew reckless. Did stupid things. Just to get his attention.

He turned on me. Didn't even bother doing it himself. Just sent some two-bit flunky he hired.

I lived. I got stronger, became a lord.

He was always one step ahead. Even now, stronger and more powerful than he, it's his name on the lips of the masses.

And now, he says, he's no longer the same. He has a new life.

To me, he is still the same. He will never stay.
