"I
was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But
when I woke up this mornin'
Could have sworn it was judgment
day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin'
everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't
even care"
That song was playing again as he strolled down the street. He kicked a piece of trash along the sidewalk and glared at the offending store. They had no idea how close they had come to the end of the world that week.
"They
say two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
So
tonight I'm gonna party…"
'Oops, time's up,' he repeated mentally, 'yeah that sounds about right. That's how it always works around here. Another day, another rushed job to save something from destruction. The others had gone home to reassure their families that everything was okay, that they were still alive and whole; except of course for Hiei, who was being, well Hiei, and was no doubt off lurking somewhere. And what about him? He had just stopped in the apartment to change, yelled "Hey Ma, we're not all gonna die today!" and left again. What else was he supposed to do? He, Yusuke Urameshi, (with a little help from his friends) had once again defeated the incredible threat, against incredible odds, and he was how strong now? Whatever, it didn't matter.
"Yusuke!"
He turned just in time to see the glomp coming and the tearfully overjoyed grim reaper came barreling into him. With his quick reflexes he managed to catch himself from falling backwards. After all the fights he'd been in, he swore it would be one of these girls that finally took him out. She planted a big smacking kiss on his cheek and tightened the death-grip she had around his neck.
"Nobody died and stayed dead! You all are home safe, and everything's going to be okay!" she exclaimed and he patted her awkwardly on her back.
"Yeah Botan, what did you think was gonna happen?"
She let out a shaking laugh and let go of him, wiping her face with the back of her hand. "You still had me worried Yusuke Urameshi! But I just wanted to say goodbye and I'm glad you're okay before I had to head back."
"Ah yeah, the whole ferry-girl thing. Well have fun with your cranky old ghosts!"
"Oh Yusuke!" She shook her head but looked past the point of scolding him. "Take care of yourself, and Keiko!"
"Will do!" he fake-saluted and she grinned at him. "Seeya later ferrygirl."
"Much later," she laughed and turned to run back down the street.
"Much later," Yusuke repeated as the head of blue hair disappeared a few blocks away.
As soon as I say anything about a plan for updating it all falls apart on me, mais c'est ma vie. Up next should be 'Darkness', unless I get stuck again and decide to jump around. And the song of course, is Prince's 1999, if you couldn't tell from the little clip at the beginning.
