I Will Remember You

~~I will remember you,

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by.

Weep not for the memories. ~~

I'm sorry, fox. I never meant to leave you. I never meant to say good-bye. But I did mean it when I said I loved you. Because I do. That was way I saved you. I couldn't see you get hurt. Don't cry, Kurama. I hate to see you cry.

~~I'm so tired but I can't sleep,

Standing on the edge of something much too deep.

It's funny how I feel so much but cannot say a word.

Through we are screaming inside or we cannot be heard. ~~

"Hiei."

I turn around to face the blue haired ditz. I know why she's here, but she's not taking me. I promised Kurama to never leave him. And I will keep that promise. Even in the afterlife.

"I'm staying."

Botan nodded her head, understanding.

Koenma's breaking a lot of rules allowing me to do this. But he owes me. And Kurama.

"I'll pick you up later," she said and she left.

~~I will remember you,

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by.

Weep not for the memories. ~~

Stop crying, Kurama. I know you gave me the burial I would have wanted but seeing you waste away like this is too much. I can't stand it any more. I flew away to seek the one person who could help me, my enemy, my comrade, my friend, my brother. I flew to Kuwabara's and Yukina's house. Flying in I saw the oaf in the living room. I flew toward him, startling him as he watched the picture box human's call a television.

"I need your help."

~~I'm so afraid to love you

But more afraid to lose,

Clinging to the past that doesn't let me choose.

Once there was darkness,

A deep and endless night

You gave me everything you had,

You gave me light. ~~

I've asked you to move on, but did you? You got married to a nice girl and started a family. I thought you didn't love me anymore but I stayed, because I made a promise even if you forgot about me. But you didn't. You kept my tear gem and named your only son after me. Unfortunately your wife died ten years later. I saw Botan take her away. You never remarried. When Shiori died soon after you asked Koenma to take away your youko aspect. He did. You're fully human now, with me and Shiori to watch you.

~~And I will remember you,

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by

Weep not for the memories. ~~

Genkai, Shizuru, Atsuko, Keiko, and even Kuwabara died one by one and they stayed to watch over their loved ones. Kuwabara watched Yukina and his children, some with Shizuru. Atsuko and Keiko stayed to watch Yusuke and their little devils. Genkai stayed at her temple for reasons only she knew. And I stayed with you, Shiori at my side watching you too. Now I watch you at your death bed, telling our story to your grandson. Botan informed all of us, spirit and living, that you were dying. Yusuke, Koenma, and Yukina walked in as you started the story. We all listened to it one last time.

~~ I will remember you,

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by.

Weep not for the memories. ~~

Botan materialized us for the moment for you to see us.

"Kurama," I said softly

"Shuichi," said Shiori.

You look at us and smiled. Answering your grandson's question you gave him the tear gem. I didn't care. I was glad when Botan took your hand. Taking mine Botan lead you, me, and Shiori to our places to wait till the day we can live again.

Fox, I haven't said this in a long time, but I'll say it now. Ai shiteru, kitsune-koi.
