A songfic, I don't own Yu-yu-hakusho.

I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready I am ready I am ready


Kurama stared at the apartment from the outside. He sighed and looked down. He raised his head when he felt a presence join him.
"I see you've finally come for me."
"Of course I would." Replied the person.
"I have nothing else to say to you except to lead the way." He spoke coldly.

I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready I am ready I am ready
I am fine


Botan prepared things to say in her head hours before she arrived to see him watching his friends mourning his death. She stopped dead in her tracks but he noticed her and her heart beat fast. When his tone turned cold, she felt tears rise in her eyes. She took one step forward and tried to blink back the tears.

I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding

Kurama followed Botan and suddenly he felt guilty for being harsh towards her. His guilt melted when he thought some more and anger began to fill in him.
"I don't want to go." He stopped walking. Botan stopped but did not turn to face him.
"Why not?"
"I can't go."
"You have to go." She said. Kurama absorbed the words and he realized Botan was not herself at all.

I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready I am ready I am ready
I am fine


"You can't expect me to want to go! I need to stay here, I need to watch them. This was not our arrangement!" He yelled at her while staring at her back, at that moment he hated that stupid Kimono, he hated her blue hair, he hated her job, he hated her boss, he hated her cheerfulness and he hated her.
"I had nothing to do with this." She spoke softly.
"Yes you did, you wanted me gone, you were jealous." He snapped at her, he stopped and began to regret his outburst. He couldn't deal with what was happening to him. He just stood there and watched as she turned and faced him. Her cheeks streaked with tears.
"How could you say all that? How?" More tears fell from her eyes and Kurama felt his mouth go dry. "I know it's hard for you. But you have no idea how hard it was for me. I spent so much time thinking about it and I think I fell in love. But I can't know what love feels like." She had to stop talking, her self-control failed her and she began to sob.
Kurama watched her and he closed his eyes. He sighed and bowed his head.
"We have to go now." She wiped her tears on her kimono and continued walking. He walked on behind her and watched her move. He wanted to say something to her, give her something more than this parting. And perhaps, he fell in love at that moment.

I am fine I am fine
