"Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all."

-William Goldman

Kurama didn't have to read the note. He had found the body.

"Kuwabara..." He gasped. The others ran into the room. Yusuke instantly turned away with a horrible cry. Hiei stood staring emotionlessly.

"Fox... is he..." Hiei said slowly trying not to show any worry or sadness. Kurama bowed his head.

"He slashed his wrists."

"Oh God!" Yusuke cried finally running up to Kuwabara's dead body shaking him, "Come on buddy, you're been through worse, make it through... make it through damn it!" Yusuke cried. Kurama put his hand on Yusuke's shoulder and shook his head.

"He's cold Yusuke." he said softly.

"NO!" Yusuke yelled, "Why! He's had worse injuries than a paper cut! Kurama this is impossible. He can't be dead! I won't let him be dead!" Yusuke shouted shaking his friend. Kurama pulled Yusuke back.

"Yusuke... he didn't want to live..." Kurama said.

"But why..." Yusuke asked like a little child collapsing by the bed. Blood stained the white sheets. Blood and tears. Kurama shook his head.

"I don't know Yusuke..." he said softly. A piece of paper was clutched in Hiei's hand.

"That Baka..." Hiei said coldly.

"SHUT UP HIEI!!!!! THAT'S THE REASON WHY HE... HE..." Yusuke punched the floor beside him making a huge dent, "AND YOU! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM KURAMA!?!?!?" Yusuke yelled. Kurama looked down and shook his head.

"Yusuke, please go in the other room." Kurama said.

"NO! I'M NOT LEAVING HIM! I REFUSE TO THINK HE'S DEAD!!! HE CAN NEVER DIE!!!" Yusuke jumped up and started shaking Kuwabara again.

"WHAT ABOUT BEATING ME? DAMN IT KUWABARA I CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD WHY DON'T YOU?!?!?!" Yusuke cried. Kurama pulled him away again.

"Go Yusuke, you're only hurting yourself." Kurama said pushing him out of the room. Hiei followed. The three stood in silence standing by the door. Hiei still clutched the piece of paper tightly.

"Baka..." He muttered again.

"DAMN YOU!" Yusuke shouted taking a swing at Hiei. Kurama caught him before he did anything. When Yusuke looked up again Hiei was gone.

"Coward... damn coward..." Yusuke muttered looking at the door where Kuwabara lay."

"Sit down Yusuke..." Kurama said leading his friend to an overstuffed chair. Kurama picked up the phone.

"Who are you calling?" Yusuke asked.

"His sister." Kurama answered softly. Tears welled up in Yusuke's eyes.

"But it's not true this is a dream..." He muttered.

"Yusuke, Kuwabara is gone." Kurama finally said.

"It's my fault... if I hadn't been brought back from the dead we would still be enemies and he would still be alive! He should be mourning my death not the other way around! He never would have met any of us and he would be alive!!" Yusuke shouted standing up and knocking over the lamp beside him. It landed with a crash. He started pounding the wall. Kurama put down the phone and walked in front of Yusuke.

"Sleep." He said softly blowing dust in Yusuke's face. The dust mixed with his tear-streaked eyes and the Detective slowly fell. Kurama caught him and put him on the couch. Kurama picked up the phone again.

"Hello."

Silence.

"Hello? Come on I hate prank calls."

"This is Kurama." Kurama said.

"Oh, hi Kurama, what now? Did my little brother do something stupid again." You could say that... why did he do this?

Silence.

"He's dead."

"... why are you saying this. I already know that!!!!" She yelled.

"I'm..."

"I didn't want to believe it... I felt his energy slowly leave him! WHAT HAPPENED HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?!?!?" She screamed. Kurama was silent for a moment.

"... Suicide." he answered.

"... why? HOW COULD THAT IDIOT DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!?!?" She yelled crying loudly over the phone, "Being killed by a demon, getting hit by a car... Suicide?" She cried.

"I'm sorry." He answered.

"It's not true..." She muttered.

"You should come home." Kurama said.

"Okay..." She answered softly.

Click.

Kuwabara... how could do this to yourself... to your sister?

Kurama's eyes narrowed.

"There is one person that would know of this prior to the event." Kurama said, "But why did she not tell us?"

"Would you be happier if I wasn't here?"

"Damn you."
