A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Death of the Spirit Detective

Third POV

"No, Urameshi's not gonna leave it to us." Kuwabara said, pointing a finger to Sensui, "It's not his style to trust anybody. He wouldn't give his life unless he would be saving us for sure."

"Perhaps that's just it." Kurama said, making Kuwabara look at him in question, "Think Kuwabara. What you did wasn't a real gamble. You knew what Yusuke had just been through."

"He was saying he was suppose to be stronger." Kuwabara remembered was his friend has said which is now making him worried,

"That's right. You knew Yusuke wasn't living up to his potential." The fox said

"Genkai's Spirit orb." Kuwabara said, remembering the time where Toguro faked his death for Yusuke to realize his power's true potential,

"Right. Yusuke possess the power but didn't know how to tap into it." Hayami said,

"Well then, maybe we should kill Kuwabara again." Hiei suggested,

"No, Yusuke's maxed out." Kurama pointed out, "We're the untapped ones. We have the power, but not the strength and mind to reach it. Not without the pain of loss."

"So could we save him?" Mitari asked,

"We can't." Hayami said to him, having her head down in shame as she clenched her fist, "If Yusuke dies before we could even reach him... I-I don't know if I could take another loss... Not again." Her voice trembled, not wanting to experience another pain of loss in front of her own eyes,

"Wait Urameshi! You don't have to die! If you really think I have the strength, I'll find it." Kuwabara pleaded as he run towards the eye, "Please, just give me the time! I swear!" He pleaded in which Yusuke ignored,

"This won't accomplish anything." Koenma said, trying to stop his detective from doing what's needed to be done, "Please, Yusuke." He pleaded,

"You're half right." Yusuke said and looked at him from the corner of his eyes, "I've got a feeling that whatever I'm about to do isn't gonna deal up any tunnels or keep demons from having earth to play with. Whole world's probably screwed." He admitted fully before walking forward, "Who cares." He said as he pointed a finger at Sensui, "But I'll get one thing accomplished, I'll know the loser of this fight."

"You are asking me to take your life, Yusuke?" Sensui asked hesitantly,

"Yeah, that's right." Yusuke admitted, "And do it with some style. I don't want some piss-poor half assed try. I know you can do it real quickly."

"URAMESHI, YOU CAN'T GO THIS WAY!!!" Kuwabara pleaded, "Think! What I did against Toguro in that fight, I did it for you!"

"The breaking point." Kurama said,

"I DID IT FOR YOU!!! But you can't ever die and did it for me! You can't! YOU CAN'T!!!" Kuwabara pleaded more as he just watched Yusuke walk towards Sensui. "URAMESHI!!!" He cried out as tears came falling from his eyes, "I won't ever forgive you, not if you go out like this. There's nothing wrong with guys needing each other! For me! For you!" He said as memories of the times he was beaten by the guy he would nonstop fight with just for the sake of it. "You... always gotta be there, Urameshi. Can't you get it!" He then lowered his head as the rest felt empathy for their orange haired friend, "If you're not then who am I?!"

"Hey! What are you waiting for head case." Yusuke said to Sensui, letting him do what he must in a taunting manner,

'Why can't I bring myself to strike?' Sensui asked himself in thought, 'I know he can't stop me, this is what I've been waiting for. It's Judgement.' He then looked at his hands in confusion before holding his fist, 'Why do I hesitate?'
