Everyone needed something to believe in, something to swear themselves too. Whether it be a religious belief, a doctrine or an opinion big or small. Everyone had a different thing they swore themselves too, and each one was different. Good, Bad, a careless person…all had something they swore by-even if what they swore by was bad, or impossible.
Atsuko Urameshi for instance swore never again to marry someone who would in the end leave her. And how she did that was acting like a complete wreck-destroying her chances at love with every swig of beer she ingested.
Botan swore to never judge a soul she ferried to spirit world. No matter what evil had been done, Botan understood there typically was someone who started the evil, and until she found the source of every wrongdoer-she just couldn't judge.
Genkai swore to reunite with Toguro. She loved him despite everything he'd done-to her and to himself. Love was blind and in her opinion unchangeable. And as years ticked by she waited to rejoin her friend and loved one.
Hiei swore to watch his sister from afar. She was warmth, he was hate. She was happiness, he was sorrow. She was surrounded by love, and he was all alone in life. And that was how things had to be. It was the only way he knew how to protect and love someone, and saw no matter how much she would want to see him confess to being her brother…Hiei could never give in to that request.
Kazuma Kuwabara swore to follow Yusuke until the day he died. Kuwabara's connection with his best friend ran deep, and beat like the steady pulse inside his chest. If Yusuke asked he would die for him…and even kill for him. He had already done so-though admittedly Kuwabara often held back. Taking a life was dishonorable, but when it came to Yusuke, Kuwabara would do anything.
Keiko Yukimura swore that she would wait for Yusuke. He left often, and she often found herself wanting and in need to be with him. She would wait for his love, for his affection, and for him to return to her.
Koenma swore to be a better ruler then his father. His father though supposedly righteous was in all honesty cruel, deceiving, and willing to sacrifice lives for the sake of, "justice." Koenma swore…he would be a better man then his father, even if it meant being abandoned by his father in the end-even if it meant dying…Koenma would not be his father.
Kurama swore to always be reborn loving whatever family he was given. As Youko he had Kuronue. As the man he was today he had his mother, step-father, and step-brother. In his next life…who knows who he'd have, but Kurama would love every person who ever was his family.
Shizuru Kuwabara swore to let her brother go. Since she was little, since the moment she first held Kazuma in her arms, she knew one day he would leave. She worried if they'd somehow be separated, and eventually she thought he'd die. Fear knotted her stomach until she met Yusuke Urameshi. And then she realized Kazuma would one day ask to leave, and follow his best friend wherever he went. And she would let him go, because she loved her brother and wanted to give Kazuma whatever he wanted.
Yukina swore to keep pursuing Hiei for the truth. He was her brother. She knew it in her bones and in her heart, and it pained her to know he was…afraid to tell her who he was. She would love him and pressure him to reveal himself for as long as she could. She wanted to have that family bond with Hiei, so she swore to wait. For as long as she lived.
Yusuke Urameshi swore to never let his friends go. Keiko was his first friend, his only friend for 14 years. He'd appreciated that so much. Kuwabara was his first male friend, and first (and only) best friend-the most important thing in his life. Kurama and Hiei were his comrades-his brothers. And he wanted it to forever stay that way.
Everyone had a creed, and everyone would try their best to fulfill their hopes. It was what every living creature desired after all.
END.
I really enjoyed writing this one.
