Disclaimer: Yu Yu Hakusho still not mine. I sent a letter, waiting for it.
((((((((((((
A sad wind caressed Yusukes cheek. No, it was not a wind, but a sigh. A sigh of deep sadness.
It was Kurama.
The boy looked up, his friend had his eyes closed, tears running down them. His arm was still on Yusukes back, his red head still resting on the detectives raven one.
Asked Yusuke softly, Why do you cry so much? No offense, of course, but you didn't know Keiko that well.
Kurama lifted his head to stare deep into Yusukes eyes. Those deep green eyes were stricken with sadness but gleamed with life.
I do not cry these tears for your friend. I did, before, but these are not hers. Kurama answered.
Then... who?
I cry them for you. For you to be so sad. For you to be so sad, is for me to be sad.
Thanks. I guess maybe I just needed a shoulder to cry on or something. I feel a little better now.... but.....
Yusuke did not finish.
He closed his chocolate eyes.
Nothing will bring her back.
You loved her very much. I can understand..... To loose someone you knew your whole life.
The Spirit Detective nodded. He felt strange, he was warm and comfortable decides the feeling of sadness around him.
It was not the fact that Kurama had given him such kind words....
It was Kurama himself.
Kurama himself was sitting right next to him, arm around the shoulder, trying to comfort.
Trying to comfort.....
Trying to comfort.
This comfort was different then the one Keiko had given him. This comfort was different then the one that anyone else had given him.
Was it because this was Kurama?
Something boiled up in Yusukes chest. Something was flaring in his heart.
Yes, he had cared for Keiko. She was a friend, a companion....
But love?
Did he love her?
He let out a small sigh. A soft sigh. A sad wind.
He asked. The red-haired teen looked over to Yusuke, his green eyes aglow.
Do understand love? I mean, what does it mean to love someone? I know it's a corny question... But...
I do not think that anyone could understand love unless they were really in it.
Yusuke wondered what to say next. Could he dare tell Kurama what was in his mind?
Before, he would say words without thinking, regretting them later.
But he thought this through.
I didn't think it before.... He muttered.
A tear slid down his cheek.
I always thought that I loved her.
Kuramas head snapped sharply, looking back to Yusuke. His green eyes seemed to pierce right through him.
The fox answered.
I always thought that if something like this happened.... I would feel a gaping hole. He put his right hand over his heart, Right here.
You... didn't?
I don't feel that hole. It is a hole, yes. But not... not a big one.....
I see....
Who do I love? Thought Yusuke. Who do I really love? I know the answer I just can't think it.... I just can't...
But could he?
Could the sad wind that blew in his mind actually mean something?
Was it trying to tell him something?
The door opened.
The sad wind was blow away by the warm wind.
Who is this at the door? Will Yusuke figure out what the winds have to do with this?!?!
