Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Even in Death ❯ One-Shot
Even in Death by: Sakura
A/N We had a tragic accident occur over this past weekend... an accident where we happened to lose five students from my school; they were in a car accident. And well, I'm just writing this to anyone who's ever lost anyone important to them.
Even in Death- song by Evanescence.

The only thing he had left was gone. Gone for good. No more would he see that smiling face, that tenderness he had always received. She had been the only one to ever treat him like a person, and for whom he was... not how he should have been, or how others wanted him to be.
That's when he made a promise to himself. He vowed revenge on the one who had murdered her. They had claimed it to be just an accident, but he didn't care. Whatever had happened that morning; that was all in the past. She was dead now and no one could do anything about it. She was never coming back.
(Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home)
Standing beside her casket, he now saw the true beauty in her. He couldn't believe he hadn't seen it before; all those times he had ignored her, ran from her... that's when he was truly missing out. But now he was never going to leave her side. He planted himself in front of the casket and wasn't planning on moving.
(I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on)
And though his friends were there to comfort him... He would never get over what happened to his love. He was angry with himself for not being there to save her; he had only watched in horror, from afar.
He remembered long ago, the question he had asked himself. The question that would change his relationship with the girl of his dreams. The question was simply:
"Love or lust?"
He now knew the answer to that question; now that he was looking `death' straight in the face. It was truly love.
The definition of lust is an intense longing, while love is to show affection and a devotion or tenderness to. And though he now longed to be with her... he had shown a great devotion towards her. More devotion than most could even know.
(Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me)
Time would go by, day by day. And each day, the heaviness on his heart would decrease ever so slightly. He looked back at fond memories, but for some reason, he couldn't seem to get a clear image in his mind. It angered him greatly to not be able to remember her the way he longed to.
"How will I be able to go on with this hole in my heart?"
(And I can't love you, anymore than I do)

A/N Short fic, but with a lot of meaning to me. The last quote is to help me cope with the accident. One of the people who died was in my third period, and I looked into her empty desk and was very upset to know that that seat will be empty for the rest of the year.
I guess that's it for now, because I never want to have to write a sad fic like this again. I'm simply doing this in loving memory of the five people who past away on Saturday morning.
