Hmm, wanted to do something more officially-drabble-ish with these. 100 words each, but you get a two-for-one special! I bring you themes #3 and #4, Light and Dark respectively. Sorry they're so short, but this is because of finals and whatnot. So enjoy!

#3: Light & #4: Dark; Ku/Yu fluff. K

Kuwabara was light. He was the salvation at the end of the tunnel whenever Yusuke nearly (or really) died. He was pure, kind, and loyal, with an honor code to make men proud. He would defend that which was precious, or he would die trying.

It was the dying part Yusuke was afraid of. Because Kuwabara was his light, the shining candle of hope and love that saw his shadows, accepted them, and kept him whole. As he snuggled further into the brightness, he reflected that they should probably go to the beach sometime. The man was white as snow.

Yusuke was darkness. He was like the breezy shadow of a moonless night. Carefree, he saved the world in the background. Most humans didn't even know his name.

Kuwabara owed him more than salvation. Yusuke was also his safety. When things went wrong or the pressures of the Ningenkai became too much, Yusuke was there, cracking jokes and offering him sanctuary. Kuwabara could hide in Yusuke's darkness, safe from the world and his own bruised ideals. As he pulled him closer, he reflected that they should sleep in the Makai more often. Its moonless sky made him think of peace.

And that's that. Again, sorry they're so short, but there probably won't be another update until after Tuesday. Review, though, my lovelies, and I will write ten times as fast when I return for you! Love you!

(For those of you who are curious, "meian" means literally "light and darkness.")
