YYF14: Okay, next chapter. I think there might be one more after this, and then it's done. I'll put up the next chapter tomorrow IF I CAN- I don't know if I'll have free time tomorrow. If I do, I will update. Then the next day, I will start the new story. Okay, so... R&R, peoples!

Yusuke went back into Koenma's room and leaned on the wall next to the door. Koenma was still silent, holding his knees to his chest, staring at the wall.

"Are you okay?" Yusuke asked. Koenma shrugged.

Oh, great… Not this again… Did that idiot reset him to where he was before all of this happened?

"You know, that color thing probably won't be permanent," Yusuke commented, trying to sound casual. Koenma shrugged again.

"It doesn't matter if it does stay for a long time, though, 'cause when you're confused, you'll always know," Yusuke added, trying to be optimistic. It didn't seem to work, though. Koenma looked down.

"It's not about me knowing," he said quietly. "There's someone who I don't want to know how I feel."

"…Who does it matter for?" Yusuke asked, thinking he knew the answer.

"…You."

"Why does it matter if I know?" Yusuke asked, now very confused. "I'm not going to tease you about how you feel."

Koenma closed his eyes, the color changing to a pink tinged with gray. Yusuke took a wild guess at what the pink was. It was probably love, but he had no clue as to what the gray meant.

"Koenma? Do you know what the colors mean? After all, they are your feelings."

The colors became pale and Koenma opened his eyes and looked at Yusuke, a nervous look on his face.

"What colors are they now?" he asked.

"Pink and gray. Well, they're pale, but they were normal a second ago."

Koenma shook his head, and Yusuke could tell from the expression on his face that he was focusing on something. The Jr mark slowly turned back to the normal black. Yusuke blinked in surprise.

"Cool! How'd you do that?"

"I don't know…" Koenma paused. "Yusuke? Would you mind helping me figure out what all the colors are?"

"Seriously? You wouldn't mind?"

Koenma shook his head. "No. I just want to make a list of what the colors mean, so… so you can tell what I'm feeling if you need to."

Yusuke knew inwardly that this was a very good development, and planned to tell Botan later. Koenma was already opening up his feelings slightly. This was good.

-----

Half an hour later, Yusuke and Koenma had gone through numerous feelings, and had a rather detailed and extensive chart. They had taken what they already had known, but they had found an easier way. Koenma had found a way to change what one color meant to another meaning, and this aided them greatly.

When they were done the list, Yusuke stood up and stretched.

"Man, that took a long time," he remarked. Koenma nodded, sitting on the bed.

"…Thank you Yusuke, for helping me with that," he said softly. Yusuke shrugged.

"No big deal. It was actually kinda fun."

Yusuke looked at the clock, which read 5:00 PM. He sighed.

"I gotta go for training. See you later."

When Yusuke was gone, Koenma lay down on his side, and stared at the wall. He was happy that he had been able to spend time with Yusuke, and that they had been able to figure out what the colors meant, but he wasn't sure if he would still be happy with his decision tomorrow. Now Yusuke would be able to tell what he was feeling whenever he wanted, either though the link or from the colors. Koenma could block the link if he had to, but he couldn't stop the colors from happening. Sensui had said that he didn't deserve to love, because it got him into trouble. If Yusuke knew his feelings, then that would get him into trouble, so he had to hide his feelings as best he could.

"I'm sorry, Yusuke, but… it's so confusing…"

-----

"So, Yusuke," Hiei began once Yusuke had gotten outside. "How's Koenma?"

Yusuke shrugged. "He's okay, but stupid Sensui got rid of everything I had done. Koenma's right back to where he started."

Kurama frowned. "That is a problem. Do you have any ideas?"

"Well… I was thinking that maybe tonight I'd watch his dreams and see if those give any help."

Kurama smiled. "Good idea, Yusuke. Dreams always tell the truth. Now, we must get started with the training. You missed three days, and there are only three days left. You should spar with Kuwabara. He's gotten stronger."

Yusuke nodded, and the group started their training.

-----

Around nine, the group stopped their training, and each went to their own room to rest. Yusuke went towards Koenma's room, and once he entered the room, he smiled, seeing that Koenma was asleep. The color on Koenma's forehead distracted him, though.

Pink with white… We didn't go over that… Yusuke thought, confused. He knew that pink meant love, but he didn't know what it meant when it was mixed with white.

Okay, I guess I'll have to do that dream thing I was talking about. He closed his eyes and focused on their link, gently prodding at it until it opened. Once it did, he was so surprised that the link closed with such force he stumbled backwards.

"Whoa… Koenma… Didn't know you thought like that…" Yusuke murmured, watching the sleeping Koenma. After a few seconds, the color became pure white, again, a color that Yusuke didn't recognize, then faded to the light blue of contentment.

"Yu…suke…" Yusuke blinked, thinking that Koenma was waking up. Thankfully, though, he wasn't, and continued to mumble some words that Yusuke couldn't hear.

Yusuke thought it might be best to leave. He'd talk to Koenma again in the morning.

-----

The next morning, around seven, Yusuke came back to Koenma's room and stood in the doorway.

"Koenma? You awake?"

Koenma didn't wake, so Yusuke looked into the link again to see his dream. However, the link was blocked.

"Why'd he block it?" Yusuke muttered to himself.

He sighed. He'd ask Koenma after he woke up. But… was it urgent for him to wake up? Yusuke checked the color. It was back to the pink with white. He could wait. Koenma deserved some good dreams after all that had happened.

-----

A few minutes later, Koenma stirred, and opened his eyes. Once he saw Yusuke, he quickly sat up.

"Y-Yusuke? What're you doing here?"

Yusuke shrugged. "Just wanted to check on you. You feeling okay?"

"Um… A little sore, but otherwise fine."

"That's good."

There was an awkward silence for a few moments, in which neither boy knew what to say. Koenma was nervous. If Yusuke had been next to him while he was asleep… He had to ask.

"Yusuke? Were- were you here when I was asleep?"

Yusuke paused, not knowing what to say. He didn't want to lie, but from the yellowish green color on Koenma's forehead, he knew that he was already nervous enough about it. He sighed. He had to tell the truth.

"Yeah, Koenma. I was."

Koenma blushed, and the color changed to an embarrassed pale blue.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything," Yusuke added hurriedly. He knew it was a stupid thing to say…

"You didn't?" Koenma asked, looking at Yusuke seriously. Yusuke nodded.

"Not a thing."

Koenma smiled, relieved. "Okay. Good."

Yusuke felt kind of bad about lying, but it was half true. He hadn't seen anything the second time, and the first time, it had been for a split second. Once he had realized what had happened, he had been shut out. Still, even though Koenma was relieved, he needed to learn that he was allowed to love and that his feelings weren't bad. He had almost learned that, but then Sensui had taken away everything Yusuke had done. Suddenly, he got an idea.

"But… now that you mention it, what did you dream about?" Yusuke asked, trying to sound innocently curious. He felt the link tingle, but tried to clamp down on it. He didn't want Koenma to find out he was bluffing.

"I-it was nothing," Koenma said quickly. Yusuke tilted his head to the side cutely.

"Are you sure it was nothing?" he asked innocently. "'Cause it doesn't sound like it was nothing."

He smiled inwardly as he saw the color turn pink, but then a gray tinge to the color made him slightly discouraged.

Timid… Timid about love again. Well, at least he's feeling love. What's he thinking?

Yusuke gingerly opened his side of the link, smiling at what he heard.

He thinks I look cute? Heh… Still, we need to fix that timid bit…

"Well, Koenma? Was it nothing?"

"That's what I said, Yusuke."

Yusuke was now feeling more and more discouraged. He wasn't getting anywhere.

"Koenma, I can tell what you're thinking. I don't know why it's so scary admitting it, especially to a person who feels the same."

Koenma hesitated. "Yusuke… It's not that I don't want to, but… what Sensui said…"

"Means nothing. He's gone now. All that matters is what you want to do."

When he got no response, Yusuke sighed.

"Here. What do you feel when I do this?" he asked, sitting on the bed next to Koenma.

"…Happy."

"And this?" Yusuke took the pacifier from Koenma's mouth and leaned closer, until they could each feel the other's breath on their faces.

"I… I feel…" His eyes widened. "Yusuke…"

The distance between them quickly disappeared, Yusuke making sure to keep the kiss gentle. He felt the link open and a flood of emotions came through. Love, longing, happiness…

Yusuke…

Relax, K-chan. I won't hurt you.

Yusuke deepened the kiss, smiling inwardly at the startled noise he heard. The two broke for air, and Yusuke was pleased to see the color as a bright pink.

"So, how'd that make you feel?"

"…I love you, Yusuke."

"I know."
