A/N: Prepare yourself for some character OOCness.
~ Shizuru P.O.V.~
Where did you go little brother? Are you happy there? Are you surrounded by people who look up to you? Most of all are you satisfied? While your spirit's in other world your body remains. Here, where I'm still living, your friends mourn for you. The people you escaped from are here wishing for you to come back. They call for Kazuma Kuwabara. That was you wasn't it little brother?
Or were you fighting the whole time so that it wouldn't be you. You always hated being called Kazuma. You could only stand hearing it from Yukina. Why was that? Was it because her voice made it sound pure? Little brother you were Kazuma not only Kuwabara. Kuwabara could have been anyone in our family. Oh wait I forgot you were the Great Kuwabara. Maybe your first name should have been Great instead. If it was maybe you could've lived.
Why didn't you tell me little bro? You tell me everything. You could have told me you were suffering. I'm your big sister after all. Big sisters are supposed to take away little brothers hurt. Big sisters are supposed to protect little brothers. Didn't I protect you enough to know that already? I showed you how to fight. I kept the parents off your back when you brought home bad grades. Heck, I became your parents. So you see little brother you were obligated to me. I am sister, your father, your mother, I am your family. Family isn't supposed to let family hurt. I wouldn't have let you if you just told me.
You should have fought Kuwabara. I know you heard me before you left. I saw the recognition. I begged for you to stay. I never beg you for anything. I never asked you for anything before, little bro. You could've given in to me. You're so selfish. I give and you take, it shouldn't have been a one way deal. Don't you understand that if I was your family that would also make you mine. Now what? Am I supposed to go home and be with our so called parents? It won't be the same, they're practically strangers. I've lost the only family I've ever had.
I won't give up though. Yes I'm hurting bad, but I'll live until it's my time. Our spirit awareness may have run in our family, but I won't let suicide. I'm going to have to carry the Kuwabara name, and I'll do it gladly. Even in your death, little brother, I'll still protect you. When I have children I'll tell them of their uncle the Great Kuwabara. I won't let your memory die. I won't let the name Kuwabara vanish. It was the one thing you took pride in.
Everything that is Kuwabara will live on. I will take the reign for you. Yep, once again I'll cover your butt Kazuma. This time I'll need help. I only have spirit awareness you know. I won't be able to teach our descendants how to use spirit energy. Luckily for me you had friends that can deal with that sort of thing. So here's my promise to you little brother, I Shizuru Kuwabara promise to always, until the day of my death, keep the legacy of Kuwabara.
