The things you have promised me

"I'll always return to you"

The screen has already gone black, the scene I had been watching was over. But I can not turn away from it. Perhaps I want the scene to return, if I do then the question is why? Is it some sick fascination to see his blood again? Do I wish to see the life fade as he died again? Do I want to see his body laying there on that ground again? No, I want the scene to return so I can see that he is okay. I want it all to be one of his jokes, I want the scene to return so I can see him laughing. I want the scene to return just so this nightmare that I have witnessed will all be a lie. But I know that this will not happen. I know this is not a joke, it is not a lie. This nightmare is real.

I look away from the screen I continued to stare at at the sound of the door to my office opening. I watch as the remaining members of my spirit detectives enter my office, all of their faces holding somber expressions. I can see the tears in Kuwabara's eyes and on his cheeks.

"I'll always return to you," he had promised me once. But he was wrong, because this time he will never return to me.
