Chapter Four-- Confessions
Hiei's POV
I was still deep in thought about Yusuke when I heard a loud thump against the door of the room he was occupying. I then heard a rather loud "damn it" coming from the same room.
"Well, it looks as though Yusuke has finally woken up," Kurama said.
"We had better go check on him then," replied Genkai.
"Yes, I'd better come as well. I need to check on his wounds," Yukina chimed in.
When we reached Yusuke's room, we found him sitting on the futon rubbing his foot. Yukina immediately went to take a look at his arm.
"You are very lucky that Hiei got you here when he did, Yusuke. If he'd been ten minutes later, then you'd be dead right now," Yukina informed Yusuke.
Yusuke didn't say anything and an uncomfortable silence filled the air.
Finally I broke the silence, "May I have some time alone with Yusuke?"
The others looked slightly surprised but they went ahead and left the room anyway.
"Yusuke, why would you do this to yourself? Do you really feel that your life is so horrible?"
"What do you care? You don't care for anyone but yourself. No one does. No one is able to look past their own problems to see if anyone else is hurting."
"Yusuke, that isn't true. Despite my frigid exterior, I care for many people. My sister, my team, my friends. Yusuke, everyone here cares about you, and I can't understand why you are unable to recognize that. Besides, you said that people are too immersed in their own problem to see that others are hurting too. Yusuke, you are just as guilty of doing that as everyone else is. Kurama is worried about his mother, Genkai misses Toguro, Kuwabara is sick of being teased and put down, and I am unbearably lonely. Do you not see these things, or do you not care? I can assure you that you are not the only one in pain! Everyone has pain, but that doesn't mean that it's the end of the world! You just have to live another day, because you never know what another day will bring!"
"What do you know!! You don't have to live with what I have to. You just don't understand!"
"Why don't you explain it to me then," I said, beginning to become angry.
"You wanna know what's bothering me? Fine, I'll tell you. My mother doesn't even know I exist! My father is dead! I have absolutely no friends! All I am to Koenma is an employee to be dispatched as needed! My teammates don't care about me, they're just serving their stupid parole so they don't have to go to jail! All I am to Kuwabara is an opponent to be beaten and Keiko is always pissed off at me about something! Do you know how hard it is to keep living this life when no one would care if you didn't?" Yusuke screamed at me.
"Yes, I do know what that's like! I've spent hundreds of years of my life where not a single person cared if I lived or died. That's why you have to live for yourself when there's no one else to live for! And if you can't live for yourself then at least live for me!" I said passionately.
"What?" Yusuke said, very confused
That's when I realized exactly what I'd said. Afraid that I might say something else that would seriously embarrass me, I fled. The last thing I saw was Yusuke's face and it was completely shocked.
Yeah, Hiei got kind of passionate and talkative, but I thought it was sweet. Anway, REVIEW to tell me what you thought and what you think I should fix. In the mean time, have a good life. Oh, and for all of you out there who weren't paying attention, that's why Yusuke is so depressed. He's upset because he doesn't think that anyone gives a damn about him and that no one would notice if he dropped off the face of this stupid fucking planet.
