Better in the End
My heart nearly stopped at that moment I saw her spirit float away from this world. The Makai world was such a dangerous place and she had finally surrcumed to it. Her death changed a lot of people, including me.
"Keiko!" Yusuke yelled when he returned to his home in Living world. When he reached her he grabbed her in a tight embrace and did something he hadn't done before, kiss her. It was not a kiss of happiness that she was safe and alive but a kiss of true love. His love towards her and how much she really means to him.
When Hiei and I took Hideaki to the Spirit world I noticed the anxiety in him and how he always mumbled his sisters name. The questioning lasted for 2 days and the wait was tearing him up inside. We had to escort Hideaki to a rehabilitation center in the living world and after that we were free to do whatever we pleased.
Hiei had traveled far to find his sister and when he did he found his father in return but not standing amoung him but by laying forever beneath him. Yukina wondered why seeing the grave of her father hurted him so much. It wasn't until Hiei said his last good-byes and told his sister the truth. Yukina merely smiled and her gental eyes filled with tears.
"I knew you were all along," she claimed and hugged him tight. She cried on his shoulder for a long while until Kuwabara showed up with warmth in his eyes.
"I love you Yukina and if you can't accept that Hiei you can just eat my fists." Kuwabara was shaking all over once he said this but he was suprised when Hiei didn't kill him. He merely nodded and walked away. Yukina had not the same feelings for Kuwabara but she learned to love him as time went by.
As for me, I have changed my image. I'm no longer known as Kurama but Suichi; the name my human mother had given me. Those who called me by Kurama never got a responce and those who willed to fight me, got the sight of my back.
"I have decided not to fight any longer," I told Hiei but he just closed his eyes and shook his head.
He lifted it while saying, "If you want to keep running, it's on you. I wont be there to save you."
I found it was very hard to avoid the demons that slipped through the portals that wanted to take the life of others like me. I had to use my powers for those reasons, but it made me feel more like Kurama and feeling like Kurama made me feel like Yoko who felt for Gina so much.
Koenma still used me as an assistant in cases Yusuke was involved with, but I was just back up. Koenma knew how much the power inside of me was what I despised the most.
Gina slips into my mind every other time of the week. In some situations I think of her all day. I came to realize something I was so afraid of. Love. I was afraid it was the one thing a nemisis could use to get the better of you. I have faced demons who have used my mother in such way. I was foolish to think Gina would be a burden to me. Only her death showed me how much she loved me and I loved her. My mind would twist and turn with thoughts of what we could have been together or if she was still here could we have lived peacefully and happily? Those questions could never be answered. Now that she's out of my life, for good.
~*~
I remember the time in the Mekai when Yusuke told me how Gina, in Kumiko's form, would go by the garden of their school pick a white flower and say a few choice words to remember me. I did the same for her. Each day I'd go to the garden I created in the city park; pick a white flower and say a few words.
"You only cared for one thing in your life, and it was me. I never wanted you to dedicate your life towards mine. I didn't want you to mourn because I wasn't there with you in person, but I was in spirit. I hope you can hear me now and understand that your dedication towards me wasn't in vain. I send you mine... forever."
I never bothered to visit Kumiko's home after Gina's death. I feared that they would ask a million questions about their missing daughter and I have to give them false answers. I did mourn for them as much as I did Gina.
I came close to knocking on their door and giving them my apologies but something inside me told me that it wasn't nessacary. I wandered around the forest afterward and here I am now again. I visit the garden, pass by Kumiko's house, and wander alone in the forest.
I remember how quiet I used to be before I met Gina, the ominous silence was around me as I stare at the city from the peak of a hill. My lips began to form a song, "wandering in a crowd in the faceless town, I need to feel the touch of a friend. In the country side I wander far and wide, the isolation gets me again. I don't know where to go, when I feel like crying, oh my. I need to open myself do something new, I need to stop, and grow up again. Then suddenly the power and comfort just start swelling up, magically errupt and it's only cuz the kidness that I feel from people I don't even know. Then suddenly, my intuition and my wisdom grow and then I know that most of all I sense compassions real thanks to strangers I don't even know. Thank you for waking me up... Gina."
"Your welcome," a carressing voice spoke from behind me.
'I wish my thoughts would stop teasing me, making me believe that's she's actually back.' I did not turn around after I thought this; I just stared at the city lights that were beginning to luminate the town.
"You don't wish to see me Yoko?" The voice said again but then I heard steps moving closer to where I stood.
"This is all just my imagination," I closed my teary eyes and turned around. "I fear if I open my eyes and see nothing, I will only suffer more pain." 'Why am I speaking to a presence that doesn't even exist anymore?' I questioned myself as the voice of my dearest Gina spoke again.
"If you keep your eyes concealed from the world you will be stuck in time forever without ever taking that chance of knowing what your heart desires to have again."
I almost opened my eyes at this because it sounded the same as what Gina had said to me in the Mekai...
*It was a long and hard battle and I had no way out; the demons had pinned me into a corner to small for me to escape from. I closed my eyes and accepted my defeat when I heard the screams of the demons fall to their death, but I was so numb I believed they were my screams and I was already a ghost in Spirit World.
"Open your eyes Yoko," Gina said sternly.
"I will not!" My voice was full of rage and I bared my fangs. Her warm hand gripped tight to my cheeks but I still refused to open my eyes. "I must be dead, for I don't know who is speaking to me," and I didn't I was so weak from the battle my sense of hearing was truncated.
"Yoko, if you keep your eyes concealed from the world you will be stuck in time forever without ever taking that change on knowing what your heart desires to have again!"
At that I opened my eyes...*
And I opened my eyes now. What I saw in front of me was not Gina, the Poison Master but Kumiko, the young girl that goes to Yusukes school. I was dumbfounded.
Kumiko shook her head and said, "see with your heart, not with your eyes."
My feet moved without my concent and I found myself standing an inch apart from her. My hand rose to her face and ran its fingers through her hair; it then caressed her smooth cheek and she leaned into its warmth. My eyes wandered to hers and through them I saw the cunning spirit of the woman I met so long ago.
Warm streams of water fell down my face and soon I felt the warmth of lips against mine. I squeezed her within my embrace and smiled through the glow of the kiss I had desired for so long.
I broke apart from her and saw the tears from my face mix with hers. "How-?" She cut me off with another wanting kiss.
"Love. Our love... Suichi..." she callled him for the first time as she kissed him.
"Kumiko..." we had named our identities how we wanted them; as how we were now.
