Ooh I'm a very bad person -_- I haven't updated since what, December?
*ashamed* Sorry folks, I honestly had a bit of writers block for this fic,
I always have trouble starting off a chapter ^^;; well now that I HAVE
updated, read, review, & enjoy!!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, jut the plot!!
In all the years that Yusuke Urameshi had been alive, after all the punches he had received, all the life energy he had lost, and all the life threatening battles he had been in, he had never felt such pain as he did now. It was like being stabbed in the chest over and over with a blunt sword.....agonizing pain that stayed with your long after the attack had struck. And even though hearing what he just had was like a slap in the face, it didn't seem to register in his mind. It was just so shocking......and unfair. How could Koenma let this happen? Anger surged through his veins like fire at the mere thought of that royal toddler. It was all his fault as far as he saw it. He could have prevented it. He could have done SOMETHING! But he didn't. And because of that, the most important person in Yusuke's life was dead.
Sweet, innocent, Keiko was dead.
Just thinking those words sent a searing jolt of pain strait to his heart. Keiko was the first friend he had ever made, and from the moment they met the two were inseparable. She was always looking out for him, and encouraged him when ever he was down. All those time she had been put in danger because of him.....she was never cross about it. Sure, he always saved her in the end, but the fact that he had even let it happen in the first place should have made her at least a little mad. She was so sweet and loving, smart, beautiful, and innocent. Yusuke truly thought that not even one foul thought had ever crossed her mind. She was so pure.......it was a shame that something so wonderful had to leave this world. And in a car crash of all things!
Keiko was his best friend, and loosing her was tearing him a part inside. Her death was like taking a part of him away.....she was everything to him.
Or was she? Yes, when he was still living in the Ningenkai she WAS the most important person to him. He would have done anything for her, if it would make her smile. But then he went off training.......and they hadn't spoken or seen each other in 8 years....
He never tried to visit her. He never tried to contact her. And at times, he even forgot he ever knew her. Guess you couldn't really call him a good friend......
And she loved him? In all the time they had been together, she never told him.....If only he had known sooner.....then he could have told her that he loved her too.
But his chance was gone, and he would never get another.
So here he was now, back in the Ningenkai, looking for another old friend; Kazuma Kuwabara.
As Yusuke walked down the streets of Tokyo, eyes cast downward, hand in pockets, he couldn't hear the rustling and bustling of the town around him. He was completely tuned out to the world around him, as he kept accidentally bumping into people. He didn't bother to apologize; he was too caught up listening to the song that was echoing in the back of his mind.
"In the still of the night
I can almost feel you lying next to me
Like it used to be"
He remembered the first time he had heard the song. It was when he and Keiko were in the second grade. They were at the park, and Keiko had brought a little portable radio with her.
"And it'd hard to let go
When there's always something there reminding me
How things should be"
He was laying with his back against a tree, and she was on her stomach flipping trough the stations.
"I've tried to get your off my mind
I've tried to play my part
But every time I close my eyes
Your still inside my heart"
She stopped at a cetin station, and this song started to play. "Oh! I love this song!" Keiko squealed, jumping to her feet. She started to dance around the tree, and Yusuke, singing along with the sweet melody.
"Why can I laugh?
Why must I cry?
Every time we said good bye
Why does it rain
Here in my heart
Every day that we're apart?
Why can't it be?
Just you and me
What will it take to make you see?
These are the words
To my heartbreak lullaby"
She sang all the words perfectly as she twirled around and around. Her childish giggling rang out around them in the cool, spring afternoon. Yusuke just watched in wonder as she danced and smiled, urging him to join her.
"Like the stars in the sky
You still keep on shining your light down on me
But out of reach"
"Keiko, what are you doing?" he had asked her, tilting his head to the side, confused. She laughed and plopped down beside him. "I'm singing! Come on! Sing with me Yusuke!" "But it's such a sad song, why are you dancing and all happy?"
"And I know in time
Come back to your senses, see the signs
And change your mind"
"Because it's really pretty! And Romantic!" she clasped her hand together. "I love romantic songs! This one is my favorite!" She was smiling a toothy grin at him, and took his hand in hers. "Come on Yusuke! Sing with me!" she pulled him to his feet, and started singing again. Yusuke didn't really know the words, but since Keiko loved this silly love song so much, he'd try to sing along, and make her happy.
"I try to look the other way
And keep my heart on hold
But every time I'm close to you
I lose my self control"
Yusuke smiled at the memory. Keiko really loved that song, and he had come to love it to. It had such a nice melody...... the words were sad, but they held so much meaning to them. And when Keiko had sung, her melodic voice was that of an angel. It was mesmerizing.
He let his eyes drift upwards, gazing at the darkening sky. And slowly, in a quiet voice, he sang the rest of Keiko's song.
"Why can't I laugh?
Why can't I cry?
Give me just one good reason
Why it must rain
Here in my heart
Every day that we're apart.
Why cant it be
Just you and me?
What would it take to make you see
These are the words......
To my heartbreak lullaby"
Yusuke smiled again, closing his eyes. Because he did, he crashed right in to some one, and fell backwards onto the ground. "Oh, sorry about that..." a deep voice trailed off.
"Yusuke?"
The raven haired man looked up and his eyes widened when he saw who stood before him.
It was Kuwabara.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In the next chapter, Yusuke and Kuwabara meet after 8 years of separation. Ooh who KNOWS what will happen? Hehe I do!!!
