#4: Love and War-Yusuke/Kurama
"Kurama..." Yusuke took a deep breath, gripping the pale, clawed hands in his own, "What do you think would have happened...if you'd never met me?"
"Really," Kurama shrugged, took a deep breath that raised his shoulders and narrow chest, "I would have given my life to the Forlorn Hope, thus my soul would have been given up to an endless void of pain and suffering."
"...Seriously?" Yusuke looked...scared.
"You must remember, love," pale hands cupped his cheeks, stroked the peach fuzz of a barely forming beard, "I had committed many sins of love and hatred, during peace and war...long before you were born. You saved me."
