Sating in a dark corner of his bed was Noraneko. His back was pushed up against the wall and his head bowed. His body trembled with sorrow as he cried, his hand pulled the bottle of sake closer to his chest.

"You bastard...I'm not crying for you....I'm just..so happy you're gone...yeah."

**************

"Are you going to leave again?" Trunks asked looking down at his lap.

"Yes. You want to come with me? You want to throw everything away and come with me?" Yuki joked letting a small smile grace his face.

"You mean it?" Trunks looked up from his lap and gazed up at the older boy. Yuki blinked for a moment before a sad expression crossed his face.

Trunks stared at Yuki for a moment and then broke down into tears. He wrapped his arms around Yuki's waist and rested his head on the older boy's chest as he sobbed. "Why do you have to go? Why can't you stay here with us?"

Yuki stayed silent and placed his hand on the younger boy's lavender hair. He looked up in the doorway to see Kurama and glanced at Trunks, but when he looked back up, his father was gone.

"You don't like me no more? Is that why your leaving? I can make myself better if you want!" Trunks spoke softly gazing up at Yuki with adoring eyes. Yuki stared at the younger boy in disbelief and pulled Trunks into a tight embrace.

"Trunks, you don't have to make yourself better for me! I like just the way you are!" Yuki whispered closing his eyes tightly. The intense emotion in Trunks' eyes had scared him to death. Never in his life had someone depended on him so much. It was kind of scary being the number one idol in a child's eyes. It would be heart braking, if he had disappointed Trunks in anyway.

"Then why are you leaving?" Trunks asked wiping his eyes.

"I have to leave. This place is not my home." Yuki pulled away from the embrace and looked at the ground.

"Home is an environment offering security and happiness."

The two boys looked towards the doorway where Yusuke stood. He leaned against the fame of the door and met the redheaded boy's eyes.

"Are you happy here, Yuki?" Yusuke demanded letting the shadows cover his face. He stepped into the room looking very intimating at the moment. "I mean it, are you truly happy here, with these people?"

Yuki frowned and bit his lip. Was he truly happy here? He had many friends here like Mirai, Goku, Trunks, Goten and Noraneko….

"I wouldn't know. I don't knew what happiness is." Yuki spoke bitterly towards his Godfather and winced when he realized what he said.

Yusuke ignored what Yuki had said and demanded. "Are you really happy here?"

"I don't know." Yuki replied shrugging his shoulders. This gesture seemed to have annoyed Yusuke.

"How do you not know when your happy? Are you so dense that you can't tell whether your happy or not?!"

"I don't know, Yusuke!" The redheaded boy shouted, clenching his fist. "I don't knew the difference between happiness and sadness anymore. They both seem the same to me!"

"What about Yagai-san? Aren't you happy being here with him?" Yusuke knew he sounded harsh, but he needed to knock some sense into Yuki.

"Of course, I am!"

"Then why are you leaving and don't give me that stupid excuse about wanting to protect Yagai-san!" Yusuke snarled glaring down at Yuki. "I'm don't easily fooled like the others and nether are your parents."

"I already told you, I-" Yuki was cut off by the sharpness in Yusuke's voice.

"Don't give me that bullshit, Yuki! Tell me the real reason." The man shouted furiously, clenching his fist tight at his side.

"You want to know the real reason? I'm scared! That's the real reason, you happy now." Yuki snapped crossly at his Godfather. "Go head, laugh. I want you to. Stupid Yuki is afraid."

Yusuke's eyes softened at his Godson's words and kneeled by the trembling boy. "Yuki…"

"Don't…Don't look at me like that. I don't need your pity." The redhead recoiled from Yusuke's touch and whispered, "I don't need anyone looking down at me at the moment. Please…can you leave me alone?"

The Tantei pushed the sting of Yuki's words out of his head and nodded as he left. Yuki watched Yusuke go and pulled his kneels up to his chest, trembling. He ran his hands through his red locks and sighed. Yuki stiffened when he heard something move behind me and relaxed when he realized whom it was.

"Trunks…."

"You're crying." Trunks stated looking down at Yuki, looking just like his father. "I thought strong people like you aren't suppose to cry."

Yuki bowed his head; his bangs shadowing his eyes and spoke. "Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water."

Trunks gazed at his idols back in confusion as Yuki slowly walked out of the room.

****************

Noraneko stared up at his ceiling with a blank face. He clenched his the bed sheets tightly and rolled his head on the side, whispering. "I wish he meant it when he kissed me, cause then I could look back and remember someone love me…Instead I can only look back and remember someone used me."

His vision blurred with tears before he quickly wiped them away. Noraneko grimaced and stared at the wetness at the back of his hand. This was the second time he cried because of Yuki. Was Yuki really worth it for him to cry about? Still angry, Noraneko wanted to say no, but deep in his heart. He already knew the right answer.

"I want to hate you so much, Yuki, but my heart won't let me." Noraneko closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath. "What is it about you that makes me feel so warm inside? Why does it feel like I want to take you in my arms and never let you go?"

He choked as the realization dawned on him and his eyes grow wide. "Is this what my mother felt like when father left her. This unbearable torment…? Is this why she so irritable all the time…because of this heart ache?"

Noraneko closed his eyes and buried his face in his hands. "I had promised myself that I would never end up like my mother, but now I have broken it."

A flash of anger went through his system and he gritted his teeth. "This is all that bastard's fault. I'm going to kill him for making me brake my promise." Noraneko stood up from his bed and quickly pulled on a jacket. "Minamino Yuki, you will suffer at my hands!"

*****************

"Yuki-chan!"

Yuki turned around to see June run toward him and stared at the girl, questionably. "J-chan, what are you doing here?"

"Briefs-san let me in the house." June frowned and glared at the direction, she had just came from. "What a dreadful man that 'Vejita' is."

Yuki blinked, looking down at her. "You met Vejita-san?"

"Yes and it is not something, I want to repeat again. That man gives me the creeps." She turned to Yuki with a smile. "Any enough about that jerk, how are you Yuki-chan?"

"I'm fine."

"Great, because we're going to have a little tour around the Capsule Corp." June said attaching herself to the boy's arm and pulled the protesting boy towards the door.

"But J-chan, I already knew my way around!" Yuki let the girl pull him around towards the door.

"Yeah, but I don't." June spun around and gazed up at Yuki, lovingly. "Don't you want to spend sometime with me, Yuki-chan?"

"Yes, but-" He was cut off when she spoke.

"Then, come on!"

"Okay, J-chan." Yuki sighed in defeat and was dragged through the CC with June, whom was having the time of her life.

"This time I get to spend more time with you and then I'll have you all to myself." She whispered softly and smirked.

*************

Noraneko was just about to about to ring the doorbell of the CC when suddenly he heard a loud utterance of an emotion coming from behind the gate of the Capsule Corporation. Curiosity getting the best of him, Noraneko decided to see what was going on and froze at the sight in front of him.

There stood Yuki and June, but something was definitely wrong with the picture. June was crying, which had surprised Noraneko. He had always thought of her being a strong willed girl and seeing here like this right now, ruined her image.

She clutched Yuki's shirt tightly and gazed up at the redhead with sadness and love. She was shedding tears of grief, sorrow and pain as her mouth moved rapidly. Noraneko didn't hear what they were saying, but Yuki shook his head and looked away from her.

June closed her eyes and started to speak again. To Noraneko, it seemed as if she was trying to tell Yuki something important. Yuki's eyes widen for a moment before taking a step away from June, who looked at the redhead in horror and fear.

She mouthed Yuki's name and then threw herself at Yuki and started to pound on Yuki's chest, angrily. Yuki didn't stop her for a while before he caught both of her fists in his hand and gazed down sadly at June.

He pulled her into an intimate embrace and spoke in June's ear making the girl cry harder. June's eyes flashed with more pain and she suddenly pulled from Yuki like he had hit her. She turned quickly and ran past Noraneko, sobbing.

Noraneko stared at June's back until she left his vision and soon fixed a furious glare on Yuki, who was staring at him in shock. He clenched his fist at his side and growled, "What did you say to her?"

Yuki opened his mouth, but closed it and looked away from Noraneko. Which was not a good thing to do at the moment. Noraneko stalked towards the redhead and trembled in anger.

"What the fuck did you say to her, Yuki?! Are you breaking her heart like you did mine? Can't be satisfied in messing up one person's life and now you gone and fucked up another. Your so selfish, Yuki! Why do you always-"

"I told her, I loved you."

Noraneko gazed at the other boy in amazement and his mouth opened and closed like a fish. He shook his head quickly and stuttered, "W-What did you say?!"

"I said I-" Noraneko shook his head and stepped closer to Yuki with hopeful gleam in his brown eyes.

"No! The last part."

"I love you?" Yuki gazed questionably at the other boy and Noraneko closed his eyes with a faint smile on his lips.

"Say it, again."

"I love you." Without warning, the brownish-red haired boy grabbed the front of Yuki's shirt and pulled the boy into a passionate kiss. Yuki's ruby eyes grow in surprise, but closed them as he wrapped his arms around the taller boy's neck. Noraneko's arm wrapped around Yuki's waist and jerked Yuki towards him until they were chests to chest. Finally the two boys broke the kiss, panting heavily.

"Thank you, Yuki-chan." Noraneko uttered huskily making Yuki blush deeply.

"Your welcome, Noran-chan." Yuki chuckled, still blushing as he rested his head on Noraneko's chest and frowned as the scene between June and him came into his mind.

~ Flashback ~

"Y-You can't be serious! I mean…You can't like boys. Y-You like me, right?" June demanded, clutching Yuki's shirt tightly. Yuki shook his head sadly and avoided eye contact with the girl. She closed her eyes. "You're not lying are you? Tell me…Why haven't you told me that you were gay. We're you just stringing me along just for the fun of it."

Yuki's eyes widen at her words and stepped back to explain, but she took it as if he was trying to deny the truth. He watched as her black eyes dilate in pain and sadness and the next thing that Yuki knew June was striking his chest repeatedly and forcefully, angrily.

He had having enough of the girl hitting his chest and caught her fist in his hands and pulled June into a hug. He sighed and whispered in her ear, "I wasn't stringing you around, June. I didn't know I had feeling for this person until a while ago. If I had knew it was going to end like this then I would have told you sooner. I love you, but I'm not in love with you. I love Noraneko."

June pulled away from him like he had just slapped her in the face. The look of betrayal and hurt in Yuki's eyes had made his heart stop and before he could say anything, June ran past him. He was surprised to see Noraneko at the gate of the CC and hoped the other boy didn't see just what happened. Unfortunately for Yuki, Noraneko had seen the whole situation between him and June.

~ Flashback Ends ~

"What are you thinking about?" Noraneko asked looking down at Yuki, who blinked up at Noraneko.

"Nothing." Yuki let a smile form on his lips and beamed at the other boy. "Let's go tell my parents that we're getting back together." He didn't notice that his boyfriend was staring at him in confusion.

****************

"PAPA!! FATHER!!" Yuki shouted throughout the Capsule Corp and frowned placing his hands on his hips. He looked questionably around and yelled, "Yusuke! Kuwabara!! Where are you?"

"Who are you calling, Yuki?" Noraneko asked sitting on the couch with his arms crossed behind his head.

"My fathers, Yusuke and Kuwabara." Yuki answered shaking his head and sighed. "Hmm maybe they went out."

"I never met your parents before Yuki. I wonder what they are like."

Yuki turned and stared at his boyfriend in disbelief. "You met my parents before, Noraneko!"

"No, I didn't. I think I would remember meeting your parents, Yuki." Noraneko raised an eyebrow at Yuki's pale face. "What? Is something wrong?"

"Are you sure, Noraneko? One of my father's are short and has spiky black hair and the other looks just like me!" Yuki pointed to his face at the last sentence and paled more when Noraneko shook his head at his parent's description. He stumbled forward and leaned against the couch, rubbing his temples with a confused face and whispered, "What is going on here? I'm sure Noraneko met my parents."

The redhead was about to question Noraneko again when suddenly a piece of paper with a bouquet of light pink roses next to it caught his attention. Yuki stared with roses before reading the letter and automatically knew it was Yusuke's handwriting.

Dear, Yuki

If your reading this letter right now then Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara and I are gone. We have decided that it would be best if we would leave without you, since you have a new life in this dimension. Kurama didn't want to write this letter because he doesn't knew how to say goodbye well and Hiei just doesn't want to write. Kuwabara…. he was busy at the time. Anyway Hiei had used Jagan eye on everyone to erase his or her memories of us, expect for you. So don't be surprised when no one remembers us. Also I hope you and Yagai-san use protection when you have sex. You don't want to have a baby on your hands when you're only seventeen, kid.

Yuki blushed heavily and shook his head in disbelief, but continued reading.

You can come visit us anything you like, Yuki. Before Hiei had removed everyone's memories, Bulma had made a machine that allows you to travel to our dimension. We tried it out and it works just fine, to my surprise. That woman seems like a nutcase to me. Well, I better go; Hiei looks like he's about to chop Kuwabara's head off, again. You already knew how that goes and Yuki…take care of yourself. I don't knew how do say goodbye, so I won't even write it. We will met each other again.

From,

Uramshei Yusuke, your number one Godfather.

Yuki gazed at the letter before he folded the letter in his hand and turned to Noraneko, whom was staring at the bouquet of roses with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Who are the roses from?" Noraneko asked crossing his arms and a flash of jealousy went through his eyes making Yuki smile.

"Just…from a friend." Yuki replied putting the letter in his pocket as he walked towards Noraneko and flopped down next to his boyfriend on the couch. Noraneko frowned, not liking the answer he was getting.

"A good friend?"

"A great friend."

***************

~ Two Days Later ~

A figure covered in black stood above a grave, his red hair blew in the wind as he stared down at the grave with an emotionless face. He crouched down by the grave and placed a single red rose upon the tombstone and closed his eyes as he appeared to be in deep thought.

"Thank you…"

Yuki turned his back to the grave, slowly and disappeared in the deep forest. The wind suddenly blew softly against the petals of the red rose as if a hand was caressing the petals, lovingly.

*************

Well…The fic is finished and a sequel will come out. I just don't know what the title of the fic would be. I was kind of disappointed with the ending of this story, but I can't write ends and fighting scenes very well like some others.
