I don't own Gravitation, never will, and never have, not even going to hope I'm going to be able to own it anytime soon

I don't own Gravitation, never will, and never have, not even going to hope I'm going to be able to own it. It all belongs to Murakami Maki-sensei, always has and always will. I'm not making a single cent or yen off of this.

This is basically Shuuichi and Yuki arguing back and forth and takes part mostly in Shuuichi's dreams. I believe that dreams aren't just imagination of ours but also let's us communicate with people that are no longer, this concept is called Yumemakura, where spirits or ghosts communicate with the living through dreams.

This, is what I wanted to write, this chapter was the whole reason I started this fic to begin with so I hope you enjoy.

Till Death Do Us Part IV

------------

Shuuichi looked around the vast empty space. He felt something tugging on his arm as it dragged him deeper and deeper. Or was it higher and higher? Shuuichi didn't know anymore, nothing made sense. He had nothing solid to hold onto.

There were only two scenes he saw anymore, the view outside his window and the empty space. Nothing else penetrated his mind, it was numb. And he didn't really care, nothing mattered.

No, something matters. Yeah, Yuki, Shuuichi replied to the voice that he heard. Maybe what ever was tugging him would lead him to Yuki. Where ever Yuki was, it would sure be better than here or anywhere. "Yuki…where are you?"

Was Yuki Eiri all there was for you? The voice asked and Shuuichi nodded. Yuki was his life, Yuki was the reason he was alive.

How about your friends, your family? Your music? The voice questioned and Shuuichi shook his head. They were nothing compared to Yuki, Yuki was what he needed. "Yuki…."

What about your dream? What dream?

To surpass Nittle Grasper, to surpass Seguchi? Only had meaning with Yuki. Yuki controlled his life, there was no point in living if he couldn't be near Yuki. When he said he would die if Yuki left him, Shuuichi was serious, he would, he'd kill himself if no one else did it or if he didn't die of a massive heart attack.

Don't you owe it to your friends and family to continue living? They were there for you when he wasn't? Shuuichi paid it no attention to the voice, only to wish what was tugging him to quickly take him to Yuki.

Idiot! Listen to me!! Shuuichi ignored the voice's outburst, he would only listen to Yuki, no other voice meant anything to him.

Can't you recognize my voice? The voice asked impatiently and Shuuichi shook his head. Was he supposed to?

Idiot. The voice muttered in an annoyed tone and then a small light gathered in front of Shuuichi until it took the form of a human.

"Yu…" Shuuichi whispered.

I suspect even an idiot like you is familiar with the concept of Yumemakura. The ghostly outline of Yuki didn't move his mouth. The voice echoed directly into Shuuichi's head.

"…Yuki." Tears welled up in Shuuichi's eyes as he reached his arms out, or tried to. The thing that was tugging him kept him from rushing to his love. "Yuki!!" Shuuichi cried as tears strained his life-drained face.

Accept it baka. Then it would stop pulling you. The voice echoed again as Yuki stared at him.

"Wha-Where are you?" Shuuichi asked again the question that he had asked too often since the accident.

Not a place for you. It's too quiet to be ruined by the chaos you drag around. Yuki shook his head, his gaze not leaving Shuuichi.

"Where?!" Shuuichi demanded, his voice barely above a whisper though.

I'm telling you don't come here, stop trying to.

"No, I'm not leaving you!! Never again!! I'm going where ever the hell you are!!"

Interesting choice of words. The shape that took the form of Yuki smirked. Idiot, you don't belong where I am.

"Why?" Shuuichi asked and then the tug grew stronger as it attempted to pull him even more away from Yuki.

"Yuki!!" Shuuichi cried, his face was drenched with tears, it was ugly from lack of sleep and food but the eyes, the eyes that showed nothing but love and determination still called out to him.

Idiot!! Stop trying to fight the truth. Yuki couldn't lie to those eyes. Especially not now, when this was possibly his last chance.

"What truth?" Shuuichi demanded.

I'm dead. The spirit's voice echoed throughout the vast empty space. Suddenly Shuuichi started trembling.

"No….no….this is just a bad dream….I'll wake up and…"

I'm not going to be by your side, you can spend the rest of your life waiting but I'm never going to be. The voice sounded hurt as it spoke.

"No!!" Shuuichi screamed and the tugging pulled him stronger and stronger.

Shuuichi!! The voice sounded almost desperate as it called out to him. Shuuichi didn't fight the tugging. He couldn't even if he wanted to.

Damn you Shuuichi, look at me and face it!

"NO!!!" Shuuichi refused.

I'm dead, I can't be there for you any more but Hiro-kun, Fujisaki, K, Rage, your family, Sakuma, Tatsuha, hell even Seguchi and Sis, can and will!

"I don't care, they're not Yuki!!!" Shuuichi cried. "Why? When?"

……If a car was about to run over your younger sister, would you have given your life to save her?

"What does that have to do with this?"

You were there when I got hit by the car, you witnessed the accident.

"I……..did?" Shuuichi asked as he tried to remember….everything seemed like a blur…

Right in front of the aquarium, Tatsuha was staring into space and a drunk driver drove head first up to him.

"……why?"

Don't ask such a stupid question, I know you would've done the same for Maiko.

"…but….but how ……is this, is it all true?" Shuuichi asked as tears formed in his eyes.

It is true. Shuuichi was pulled stronger as the voice said those words.

"Then I die with you." Shuuichi's tears stopped and the face of when he was awake, the black one, resumed itself.

Idiot!! That's why I'm here, to stop you from killing yourself.

"You should've thought of that before you died." Shuuichi muttered as he closed his eyes.

Stop this! I don't want you dead.

"Why? I vowed to myself that I would follow you wherever you go. I don't care if you're in hell, I'd give up heaven for you, and if you're in heaven, I don't care who stops me, I'll get there…and if you are to reincarnate, I'll follow you."

Shut up!! Who are you to argue against me!! Fag, if I said I don't want you dead, then you're not dying. The voice said in Yuki's usual domineering voice and a small smile graced Shuuichi's face. Soon, soon he would finally be with Yuki..

Damn you Shuuichi, you're going to live and that's final. I can't deal with the idea of you, YOU, out of all people dead. The ghostly figure reached out and the hands touched the wet cheeks. Live, if for no one than for me.

"….Yuki…..all I want is for us to be together…." The tears over flowed again.

Not with the price being your life. The ghostly figure leaned down so it's lips touched Shuuichi's. Live.

"Yuki…." Shuuichi shook his head. "I wanna be with you, forever, and death will give me that." The thing that was dragging Shuuichi strenghthened it's hold.

And I want you to live. Please Shuuichi, just once don't be so stubborn. Shuuichi looked closer as the voice started to plead. I killed Yuki, I never forgave myself for that…and if I am the reason the second person I fell in love with died as well, it would kill me all over again.

"Lo….ve?" Shuucihi asked cautiously and the ghost smiled sadly.

Never got to tell you when I was alive did I. It leaned down to whisper into Shuuichi's ear. I love you Shuuichi.

What was pulling Shuuichi lessened it's hold and Shuuichi started to shake. "No….no…..please…say it when I'm awake…..say it……so I know this isn't a frigment of my imagination!!!" Shuuichi wailed and attempted to grab the arms of the ghostly figure, but they slipped right through. Yuki's figure smiled sadly and tears fell from Shuuichi's eyes without stopping. Yuki reached out the brush the tear away but it slipped right through his finger.

Can't even stop your tears any more…and I'm the cause of it. He looked at his hands and tightened them in a fist.

"Yuki….love, I want you by my side forever." Shuuichi shook his head and put his arms around Yuki. "Why? Why don't you want me? If you say you love me, then let me be with you! Please!!" The darkness that was pulling Shuuichi reappeared.

And hate myself forever!? Is that what you're asking me?

"Yuki?" Shuuichi asked, not fighting the darkness.

Do you know what you have fucking going for you? A whole entire career in the music industry, isn't that what you wanted since you could remember?! Hell, I'm only going to say it once but with your voice you could become an international star!! Don't give this all up just for me, so I can't even rest when I'm dead that I ruined you!!!

"And you're asking me to live with out you!!! I'll die with out you!!" Shuuichi screamed back.

People all eventually die Shuuichi, and now is not your time, it was mine. Yuki sighed and shook his head.

"But…"

Shuuichi, you are full of life, and light, I don't want to be the one to take it away. Yuki returned Shuuichi's embrace. Live, please…love, please.

"I wish I could hear it in real life, to know I'm not imagining that." Shuuichi cried into Yuki's chest and Yuki sighed.

Hell, I had it all planned out when and how I was going to tell you.

"You did." Shuuichi asked and a chuckle escaped his throat.

You don't become a romance writer with out being a little romantic.

"Oh please, when where you romantic?" Shuuichi joked back and closed his eyes. Suddenly he felt like he was hit by a car.

Shuuichi?

"….oh gods…….oh GODS!!!" Shuuichi cried out as he held his head and the darkness disappeared around the two. Memories, really scary memories of Yuki covered in blood, of Yuki being rushed over to the hospital, Tatsuha crying over Yuki's limp bodies, the paramedics surrounding them, and the dead face of Yuki. They all rushed back to Shuuichi in a flash.

Yuki looked around himself and then at his love a sad smile forming on his stern lips.

I guess it's good bye then.

"No…no, Yuki….oh gods, no…."

Love you, wish I could've said it before I died, my only regret. Yuki whispered as the outline that made him started to crumble.

"Yuki…no, Yuki…Eiri…no, Eiri…please." Shuuichi reached out for Yuki and hugged him as strong as he could, hoping, praying to every single diety he knew to stop Yuki from escaping him.

Eiri…first time you've called me that. Yuki smiled contently.

"No…Eiri…No…" Shuuichi shook his head.

Yuki's fine though…Shuuichi, love. With those words Yuki's spirit disappeared.

"YUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Shuuichi had a loud voice, added to the fact that he was a singer, it was loud and clear

enough to wake the dead. Maybe that was what her brother had hoped Maiko thought.

"Ow." Maiko muttered as her hand turned white from the lock Shuuichi had it in. His eyes were wide with fear and his lip, after the deafening scream, just trembled as he raised his free hand and tried to make out a shape in thin air.

"Oniichan, Oniichan, what's wrong?" Maiko asked as she grabbed his hand with her free one. Shuuichi's eyes flashed by her as sadness glazed them over. "Oniichan, do you recognize me? It's me, Maiko? Do you see me? Oniichan!!"

"Maiko, what's wrong?" Their parents came into the room at that moment and gasped at the fear on their son's face. "Is he…?" His mother asked, hope coating her soft voice.

"I don't know, he screamed so loud, and then he went like this." Maiko explained and turned her attention back to her brother. Tears trickled down Shuuichi's eyes as looked straight into Maiko.

"Maiko….he's….he's…." A hoarse, barely audible whisper escaped Shuuichi's mouth.

"Oniichan, you recognize me!!" Maiko exclaimed, not being able to contain the joy she had.

"He's….Yuki's…he's…."

"It's ok, Oniichan, you don't have to say it if you don't want to." Maiko managed to break her hand free and hugged her brother tightly. Tears continued to flow from her eyes. Happy tears that her brother was back, sad tears that he had to live with the empty void in his life.

"No…I….he's….he's gone…..isn't he…..dead…..gone….Yuki…he's…." Shuuichi looked at his hands through his tears.

"It's ok son, we're here for you." His father sat down next to his children and placed a comforting hand on his first born son.

"It's going to be tough Shuu-chan, but we will always be here for you." His mother took his hand and held it in a tight grasp. More tears escaped Shuuichi's eyes and he closed them tightly.

He missed Yuki horribly, he was always going to, and he was always going to wonder if the Yuki he talked to had just been his dream and wishes or if it had been the spirit of the real thing. But how could he, how could he turn his back on his family that gave him so much love and support through out his life. Yuki, love, some day I'll be with you again, and ask you to say those words again…but, for now, I'm sorry, I'm staying here, for their sake, and…for yours I guess.

"…….thank you…" Shuuichi whispered. "Thank you for everything…" He didn't know if it was directed towards his family or towards Yuki.

------

Yumemakura: A legend in Japan where a spirit or ghost enters the dream of the living to complete unfinished business or to haunt them. What Yuusuke did in Yu Yu Hakusho vol. 1 to tell Keiko he was alive.

In the next chapter (hopefully only one more chapter), I'll deal with what happened to Tatsuha? Mika? What about Hiro and Ayaka? Hey why hasn't K made an appearance?

I didn't think this would take a whole entire chapter, but I also didn't think Shuuichi would easily be convinced that Yuki was dead and he couldn't follow him, even if it was Yuki that was arguing with him.

Up to this point Shuuichi had been in a state of shock, and the song of Bad Luck shook him a little. Music was the second most important thing to Shuuichi, and triggered enough emotion in him.

Was Yuki in this chapter a ghost/spirit or Shuuichi's dream pure and simple. I'll leave that up to you to decide. I personally think that there are ghosts and the likeliness of them or at the very least exist in the manga world.
