-----Chapter Tie-in: Hazy Mind-----
*Kazuma Kuwabara's POV*
What the hell am I searching for?
I've been searching for it my whole life, but I had no idea what exactly I was searching for.
The Lullaby of Rebirth.
A nice name, don't you think?
Kinda gives you the sense that you aren't really alone.
It's always there for you.
It sings itself for you when you're feeling down and out.
It brings you back to life, ready to begin again.
It's your heart beating in the back of your neck.
It's your true love, waiting for you at the end of the light.
That's what it is.
That's what I've been searching for.
But things are still unclear:
How do I get to it?
How can I solve its mysteries when it is still shrouded as such?
A tapestry cannot hold the truth.
Nor can a throne.
The only thing that holds the key to the twighlight which kills the haze
Is the heart.
Whatever you fight for, you must fight for honorably.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yukina... my love.
I'll do anything for you.
You are my key...
My key to the twighlight.
*Yusuke Urameshi's POV*
What's in a title, anyways?
It's just a stupid name that people stick to you
So you sound important.
Feh.
It has no meaning.
It has no true passion.
It's just there to make you look cool.
At least, that's what I think.
But really, what good is a name?
It's only the label on the can.
What matters about the product isn't the labeling, though.
What matters is the contents of the product.
If it's a good product, the contents are purified.
If it's a bad product, it probably has little mold people growing on it.
So what's with the labels?
Nothing is used for them.
Kids always rip the labels off, anyways.
Maybe I should rip mine off as well.
Spirit Detective my ass...
All I've been doing lately is a fat load of killing.
At least there's still hope.
The girls don't ever quit on me.
Keiko and Botan...
No, more Botan.
She's been loyal to me from the start.
Always perky, always helpful.
She was never the one to do anything evil.
She was always helping the good side - now more than ever.
I care deeply for her; I know that.
But Keiko doesn't.
She'll be heart-broken.
What can I do?
My label has given me divine power and responsibility...
But it's also attracted the female race to my product.
Now, they're addicted to me, and my label is the nicotine.
Exasperation surrounds me, whatever I do.
I guess a label has more going for it than I first thought.
Still...
*Botan's POV*
Oh, Yusuke...
Lately, you seem so... well... preoccupied.
I wonder, dear, if you could tell me...
Well... what's wrong.
You've always been true to me.
You never let me down, and I, you.
So, why won't you talk to me now?
My ears are open to you.
Maybe... it's my head?
Are you afraid my mind is unclear and shattered?
Do you think I won't comprehend your thoughts?
Hmm...
I guess that makes sense.
Still, you're worrying me.
Ugh... I'm becoming so serious.
All the fun's been sucked out of me
Ever since this war started.
No, before that...
Ever since I went to Hell and back with you.
The worst nightmares came to me during that time.
I was afraid for you, Yusuke.
Afraid you'd fallen into a pit and died.
Nothing's worse than that.
You know, I cry for you, Yusuke.
You've had it pretty hard since your first Spirit Case.
I'll cry at night for you, Yusuke.
I'll cry...
If only...
*Genkai's POV*
Four tests, four idiots, one chance.
My life hasn't changed all that much.
But my memory's becoming hazy...
So much is gone.
I'm beginning to feel old again.
Just like at the Dark Tournament.
Relinquishing my power was not easy for Yusuke.
But it was harder for me.
I've never been so careless before in my life.
I figured...
I figured he'd died in that cave.
But he came out, still with a heart of gold.
I chose quite a student, didn't I?
Well over nine months, all spent with him
Training him to learn my abilities.
He's done quite well, considering what he was before.
I've never met a student quite so resourceful.
He'll know what to do.
He's never failed before, and I know he won't fail now.
Besides...
He has people he loves on that planet.
Nothing will stop him from victory.
Ugh...
My mind is... so hazy.
