"Yusuke you jerk!"
"Yusuke Urameshi, I can't believe you!
"Yusuke you make me so mad!"
"Yusuke I hate you!"
"Why don't you just die!"
I stared at her body. Her face was covered in blood. My hands were coated in a thick, purple substance: the blood of the demon that had killed my Kayko.
"Is this…my fault?" I whispered. "She never wanted to move here.
"I don't want to live in Makai, Yusuke! I have friends here. I don't want to leave."
"C'mon, Kayko, be a sport. You know I don't fit in here in Ningenkai."
"And you think I'll belong in the Makai?"
"I'll be there, and I'll beat up anyone who says you don't."
"That doesn't hide the facts." Kayko searched his pleading face. "…Fine. But just for you, Yusuke." She planted a light kiss on his lips. "Just for you."
"She won't…yell at me…any more…now…" I paused. "Maybe it's…a good thing. She always said she hated me…that she didn't want to be around me…"

Don't know what's going on
Don't know what went wrong
Feels like a hundred years I
Still can't believe you're gone

I lift the bottle to my lips again, then crash it against the mirror. The mirror cracks, and the bottle smashes. "Good." At least that way I can't see what a mess I've become. I haven't slept in nights. God, it feels good to just kick some ass, forget about this whole mess Kayko caused. She always caused a mess.
I'm back home, in our bedroom. Demons seem to think I'm easy prey, just 'cause I'm drunk. That's never stopped me before. I keep remembering times here. I can't get the damn things out of my head.
888
So I'll stay up all night
With these bloodshot eyes
While these walls surround me with the story of our life

Yusuke poked Kayko's ass. "Is it just me, or do these pants make your ass look really big?" he asked, knowing what was coming next. Sometimes he wondered why he kept practically asking Kayko to slap him.
"Yusuke you jerk!" she yelled, slapping him hard enough that he was surprised he didn't end up in the next dimension. Instead, a tree stopped his travel. He looked up with a grin on his face, cheek swollen.
"Well, you can still throw one hell of a slap," he said, chuckling.
The two teens were on the roof of their school. "Skipping again?" Kayko asked, a stern expression on her face.
"Yah, what about it?" asked Yusuke.
It was only a few minutes of minor argument later that Kayko found Yusuke behind her, inspecting her underwear.
"Pervert!" she yelled, slapping him. He stumbled across the roof, chuckling. She left the roof, fuming.
She was always yelling at me. It's better this way. I can fight—Punch, dead demon—and no one will tell me what to—Kick, he's not having no more kids—do.
888
I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever

"One more whiskey." Why am I in Ningenkai again? Oh, what the hell. The bartender slides me the glass, giving me a withering glance. I glare back, down the whiskey, then stumble out.
They think I don't see them, those punks, nudging one another. "Hey, that one," "Yeah, he's been there four hours," "He's good and drunk," "This'll be easy."
Idiotic humans.
One punch here, kick there, they're doubling over. "Heh. I'm easy, huh? Think again." One finger wave and I'm outta here. Get home, blood on my knuckles, broken nose, no one's yelling. It's finally quiet.
888
Now things are coming clear
And I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared
So I'll stay out all night
Get drunk and fucking fight
Until the morning comes I'll
Forget about our life
I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever

"Yusuke, I hate it here! I want to go home!"
"Take me home, Yusuke!"
"Yusuke I hate you!"
"Yusuke, why won't you just stop! Leave me alone! I hate you! I don't want to be around you any more!"
She was always yelling. I wonder if she meant any of the things she said. Of course she did. That's why she left me. I hate her for leaving me. She should have left in the beginning. Any time I actually started to leave she'd cry. I should have made her leave in the beginning. I would've had so much more fun without her dragging me down.
888
First time you screamed at me
I should have made you leave
I should have known it could be so much better
I hope you're missing me
I hope I've made you see
That I'm gone forever
And now it's coming clear
That I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared
I feel so much better
Now that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever

I stared at her body. Her face was covered in blood. My hands were coated in a thick, purple substance: the blood of the demon that had killed my Kayko.
"Is this…my fault?" I whispered.
"She's…really gone…" I thought I realized that a long time ago…but looking back on what I've been doing…this whole year…I haven't realized. She's gone. And now, for the rest of my life…she won't be there…I won't feel her slap me again…and it's all my fault.
"Kayko…I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…"
888
And now you're gone forever
And now you're gone forever
888
"Yusuke, I love you."
"I love you too, Kayko. I love you so much."
