A red-eyed Yusuke looks up at his companion and says "You tell anyone about this and I'll kill you."
"I know, Yusuke, I know," Kuwabara replies, unphased.
"Thanks."
"It was nothing."
"It definitely wasn't nothing… You risked your life to help me, and now this. It's tough to think of us as the old eternal rivals that we once were…"
"Then what do you think of us as?"
Yusuke laughs, "I don't know."
"Just know that I'm always here for you."
"Same for you. Let's get out of here."
The two limp and crawl their way back to Yusuke's apartment. His mother is, of course, out drinking. Yusuke is unsure why this bothers him or why he would even register it, particularly in his battered state.
"You should probably get back to your place, Kazuma. I'm sure your family is worried," Yusuke insists.
"I… Don't think I could make it. Do you… Mind if I stay here for the night, Yusuke?" Kuwabara pleads.
"I suppose not. I definitely owe you," Yusuke replies, after a mere fraction of a second's deliberation.
The two walk into Yusuke's room and collapse onto the bed. They look at each other and smile, knowing full well that they accomplished things the likes of which humans should not be capable of. As they look into each other's eyes, they lean in and passionately kiss, before falling asleep.
