Meru: (Runs around in circles, flapping wings) I CAN FLY!!!
Zorra: Care to stop that?
Meru: (falls over) oooooooo pretty stars!
Apolla: It would be nice if you took this seriously.
Meru: (stands up) Sorry, I'll stop. Anyways, welcome to my new fic, What Matters More! I had been planning this for a while, so I hope it turns out all right.
Zorra: I doubt it.
Circe: WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
Zorra: It means I have no faith in her writing skills.
Meru: Oh, you're nice.
Apolla: Now, now. Settle down.
Meru: Can't I kill her, please?
Apolla: No.
Meru and Circe: Aaaaaaaaw. Poo.
Kenji: (Pulls out a piece of paper) Ahem. Meru does not own Yu Yu Hakusho or I will remember you by Sarah McLachlan. (Puts away the paper and bows)
Meru: (Hugs Kenji) I'm so proud!
Kenji: (Blushes)
Meru: Anyways, on with the show.

*I will remember you
Will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories*
Kurama stared out the window, unable to concentrate on his homework. How could he? Ever since him and his friends had defeated Yakumo, he could hardly concentrate on anything. All he could think about was his friend, Kuronue. Could Kuronue have escaped, just like he did? Or did he die? He could always have asked Koenma if Kuronue's soul had passed on, but what if it hadn't?
*Remember the good times that we had
Let them slip away from us when things got bad
Well clearly I first saw you smiling in the sun
I wanna feel your warmth on me I wanna be the one*
Things like these had been tormenting him for so long that the rest of the team had begun to worry, not that it mattered. It's not like his battle skills had gotten any worse. For the most part, they had actually improved. That didn't fix things though, being strong never brings a person back from the dead, or at least not in most circumstances.
*I will remember you
Will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories*
Kurama still remembered every single raid they had done, every single thing they stole. Every inside joke was told in his mind, but instead of making him laugh, they made tears well up in his eyes.
*I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how I feel so much but cannot say a word
Through we are screaming inside or we cannot be heard*
"Hn. Still dwelling on that, aren't you?"
Kurama looked up to see Hiei sitting on his bed. "How did you get in here?" but he answered his own question when he looked at the open window. "Oh."
"You should stop thinking about the" Hiei said "it only brings misery and regret, and no one can travel back in time." Hiei and come to the conclusion that he shouldn't be there, so he disappeared, going back from where he came.
Kurama could only look at the open window, and keep on thinking, until eventually he dozed off.
*I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how I feel so much but cannot say a word
Through we are screaming inside or we cannot be heard*
He dreamed of Kuronue too, of the memories. He dreamed of their final mission, where they both had lost their lives.
*I will remember you
Will you remember me
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories*
He woke up in his room, sitting on his desk, his homework stained with tears that were released during the night. Hiei was right, he shouldn't be dwelling on the past, but he couldn't help it. He missed Kuronue and the friendship they once had. He wasn't going to go to school today, he felt sick.
*I'm so afraid to love you more afraid to lose
Clinging to the past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was darkness a deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had you gave me light*
"Shuichi, are you alright," Shiori, Kurama's human mother, knocked on his door.
"I'm not feeling so great, can I stay home?"
"Of coarse," Shuichi Minamino never lied, so she trusted him. "I'm going to work, if you need anything just call my cell phone." He heard the front door shut and his mother's car drive away.
He needed to take a shower and wash away what he was feeling. When he came out of the shower, he changed and left his house to go to the spirit world, he was going to talk to Koenma.
*I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories*
He walked into Koenma's office. "Hello Koenma, I have a favor to ask."
"Sure, anything."
"Do..." he couldn't ask it, so he asked for something else, "Have you by chance put away in your files, a pendant on a dark metal chain? The pendant has a blood red stone on it. Have you seen it?" That pendant had belonged to Kuronue, and he knew it had been locked up after the final burglary.
"Yes, I had, but I recently got rid of it. I gave it to someone, since it didn't seem needed. Sorry," Koenma made eye contact with Kurama, easily doing so in his teenage form "Why?"
Kurama looked at the ground, feeling a bit depressed, "Nothing," and he walked away.
*Weep not for the memories...*

Meru: Well, that's the first chappie. Now all the complex soap opera plots come in. ^-^
Zorra: The next chapters will give you the biggest headache you're bound to ever get.
Meru: Well, not exactly...Well, not the next chapter anyway, maybe the on after that.... BUT YAY!!
Circe: We hope you continue to read this fic.
Meru: And that you like it.
Kenji: (Pulls out another piece of paper) R and R people (puts it away and bows again).
Apolla: (Pats Kenji on the head) Good job.
Kenji: (Smiles cutely).
Meru; KAWAII!!!
Zorra: I worry about him sometimes.
Meru: Don't worry, he just has memory issues, so I gave him a script. (I have long-term memory issues)
Zorra: Riiiiiiiiiiiiight O_O
Zorra: Care to stop that?
Meru: (falls over) oooooooo pretty stars!
