Disclaimer-YYH isn't mine. Nor is SheDaisy.
Note-Someone said they didn't like that Keiko listed all her faults in the last chapter. Well, I believe a reaction to breaking up is the 'Was it me?' reaction. Just chill, OK? This will play itself out. BTW, Lady BlackDragonFire, you hit the nail on the head. Keiko is going to like someone else. And it's not Kuwabara. God, no.
I Wish I Were The Rain
Botan had once again donned her human form and entered the city.
"Hey, Yusuke," she called, a little listlessly, seeing him coming towards her.
"Hey," he said on the same note, purposely ignoring their previous conversation a few days back.
"How's Keiko?"
"We…we broke up."
You said
I bled
You meant
I went
Overcomplicated spent
"What?" Botan gasped, half in surprise, half in happiness. "How?"
"I was late picking her up because of my Spirit Detective duties. She kept yelling that I was making excuses not to see her; that I was always late. And it just kinda blew up and I broke it off with her." He carefully avoided telling Botan of Keiko's accusations about her.
Love's a series of broken sentences
Miscalculations
Reconcilliations
"Do you think you'll get back together?" Botan asked, her hopes rising.
Yusuke sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I guess we will."
Seductive highs
Destructive lows
Words that fly too fast
Feet that move too slow
Wish I could dance outside this windowpane
"Really," Botan said listlessly, more as a statement than a question, and her hopes came crashing down. 'I should've known,' she thought. 'Yusuke will never be in love with me.'
Oh, I wish I were the rain
'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Tenderly drip down a lover's face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can feed a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
Botan blinked rapidly several times, trying to keep tears at bay.
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Oh yeah, I wish I were the rain
"Botan, what do you think I should do?" Yusuke asked eyeing the blue-haired grim reaper.
Botan gave a shuddering sigh that went unnoticed by Yusuke. "Are you still in love with Keiko?" she asked, fearing the answer.
Don't speak
I'm weak
You cry
I lie
"I…I don't know," he admitted. "I feel mixed up, you know?"
"Do you think you should talk it over with Keiko?"
Overcompensation, why
"I…I guess so," Yusuke said. It won't get me very far by not talking to her, would it?" He laughed a little.
And Botan's spirits, already lowered, hit rock bottom.
Our arsenal of hope has been bled dry
Don't you wish that you could live outside the insane?
Don't you ever wish for a free reign?
"If you are truly in love with her," Botan said painfully, "you should make up with her."
"But, Botan, I told you that I wasn't sure."
"All the more reason you should talk to her."
'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Tenderly drip down a lover's face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can field a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Oh yeah, I wish I were the rain
"You really think I should?" Yusuke looked hard at Botan.
Botan turned her face from his gaze. "Yes." If she couldn't be Yusuke's love, she could at least make sure that he was happy.
The blistering
Twisting
Hard-fisted blows
Have drowned the once fervent glow
"Then, I guess I should go," Yusuke said, turning to walk away. "Thanks, Botan."
"You're welcome, Yusuke," she said. As he turned around the curb and out of sight, her tears began falling.
I wish I were the rain
I can cry just like the rain, the rain
Yeah, I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Turning, she, too, walked off.
I wish I were the rain
Yeah
