"Please, I-I didn't...I wouldn't...you know I would never," I cried. My tears flowed heavily down my cheeks as I reached out a hand for him but he only swatted it away. I looked at his retreating back, it was useless. "Yusuke...Yusuke!" I cried out in a last hope that he'd listen and believe me. My eyes were empty of everything but tears and despair. He turned around; his brown eyes bore into mine. My heart jumped as hope sparked, maybe he'd listen. My hope diminished when his eyes hardened and looked as if he were betrayed, he turned around once more.
"No...please Yusuke...don't leave me…alone," My heart seemed to snap in two and fall to the ground at my feet. I hadn't done the deed he thought I did, maybe it would've been better had he killed me then and there like he planed too. It would have been better than being here broken hearted...the one I love thinking I betrayed him. I knew he couldn't hear my desperate cries, even if he could, he'd shut them out. I fell to my knees, my shoulders shook with my sobs, each filled with despair as I remembered what happened.
Flashback
I notched my arrow, Kurama had my back and I had his. Demons were surrounding us on every side. Kurama turned a simple red rose into his trademark rose whip. The low class demons weren't phased, they thought that two of us against all of them couldn't defeat them and in the end we'd be killed. I let loose my arrow, it shone pink with my Miko energy. Five demons were purified immediately as Kurama struck six more with his whip. I jumped to the side narrowly missing the large mallet that was aimed at my head. Kurama snapped his whip at the demon and decapitated its head. I looked over at him and smiled in thanks; he nodded in return and continued fighting. Then I saw him, Takani, standing right in front of me. I smirked as I notched an arrow; the idiot had the audacity to simple smile and cross his arms. I was an idiot then, I didn't think twice before letting loose my arrow. The pained cry tore through the air like a knife through butter. My eyes widened as I saw, not Takani, but Kurama fall to the ground. It was a set up, Yusuke's eyes were wide. All he had seen was the arrow piercing Kurama's chest. The demons and Takani had vanished just in time.
End Flashback
I leaned against the cold, stone wall and drew my knees to my chest. I knew that I'd never see him again, that I'd never look into his warm gaze nor follow him into the heat of battle and the thrill it brought. Never would I fall into his embrace again, I was no longer accepted into his world. A chill ran through the cell, even if it was a set up not even Koenma knew and I wouldn't tell for no one would believe me. So here I sat in a cell in spirit world jail for supposedly killing a fellow spirit detective. I heard thunder crash in the distance from the rare thunderstorm. I stood up and went to the small window barely big enough for even a young kit to fit through. Suddenly I felt cold; I knew that I'd feel like that for the rest of my life. Never would I feel warmth, never would I feel again. I let out one last cry of mourning before all is silent. Now naught but the lingering echoes of his footsteps play across my shaded memory forever embedded in my mind. I sank to the ground once more, freedom...imprisonment...both are the same to me. There is nothing to save me now...

Tijiya: This idea for a one-shot came from a poem I read a while back. This has been sitting on the computer, finished for so long screaming 'Post me!'. I hope that you all enjoy it, I know it's not very good. But I still hope that you will all enjoy it!
Kaze Mai: Tijiya doesn't, and never will, own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho. Please review before you leave! Thank you!
