I feel the weight had been lifted off of my shoulder as the announcement went off.
"WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT: TEAM URAMESHI!!!" Both of the referees announced it, earning cheers from the apparitions who are still alive. My little Spirit Beast on my shoulder was chirping loudly to cheer for my brother as well.
"That's right people, don't kick the radios!" Koto commented. "The humans bare a fight, we've cleared the up set!"
"Finally the Toguros fall." Rosehead breathed out in relief.
"Hn, it's been quiet a long run." My partner commented.
"Can't agree more on that." I added as I looked at him with my orbs glancing at the side. He stared back at me as well with a small smirk on his lips.
"All I could think about is how much our little sapling has improved through in this tournament." Koenma said making me look at my brother.
"Yeah." I couldn't help but agree. "Still the same jackass as he is, but either way, I'm sure Genkai would be proud of her successor." I said it with honesty, because I was truly proud of him. That small moment however washed away and immediately the concern rose as soon as I see Yusuke collapse again. All of us began to rush.
"YUSUKE!" I called out as I got to his side. With the help of Kurama we lifted him up.
"Easy does it, no sleeping just yet." Rosehead told him, only to receive a dazed looking dimwit. "Snap out of it, Yusuke. You have your victory." He snapped at my brother raising his voice in the process.
"Am I. . . Am I alive?" Yusuke asked us.
"Of course we are!" Ruby replied to him a little sternly.
"Do you see any halos on us?" Koenma told him as well. " Everything is A-okay now."
However, that quiet moment didn't last long because I see my brother's gaze fell onto Carrot-Top's 'dead' body that was still on the ground. I but my cheek inside and just let things play out.
Yusuke pulled away from me and Rosehead and grasped onto the dirt underneath him.
"No it's not. . . no it's not. . ." First a whimper, and then a scream came out of Yusuke. "DAMN IT!" His voice rang around the entire stadium. "If I hadn't been such an irresponsible kid. . . If I didn't had concrete walls between my own stupid emotions. . ." He trailed down as the tears began to run down from his face. "I had all the strength to save him, I was just too dumb to reach it. The hell do I say to that?! Huh?!" He lowered hid head down and continued on with his speech. By now I covered my mouth and looked away.
I don't want to ruin his moment. . .
"You said you learned-." Kurama tried to talk but the punk cut him off.
"SHUT UP!" Yusuke cried as he kept on weeping. "What good will that do? He's already dead and I can't say anything else to him now. Is that hard to get?! I'm just like everybody else with power, I can't do anything to help." He then punched the ground. At that part I feel myself go a little gloomy. . . no wonder why. . . because it was a subject that was too familiar to me. . .
