I was on my hands and knees as my eyes were shut tight, preventing myself from tearing up. . . however. . . this pain. . . it was so big that it already shut that option down. . . this was all a complete mess. . .
I couldn't breathe. . . or think straight. . .
My mind was all blank. . . leaving only Kuwabara there. . . the memories of him. . . that stupid punk. . . Why. . . ?
That bastard took away my teacher. . . now he took away my friend. . . and in both scenes, I was there. . . and just stand by, letting fear paralyze my body. . . this body that has the power to stop thugs like that jerk. . . yet. . . I didn't do anything to stop him. . .
And who paid the price. . . my teacher. . . and now my friend. . .
"That's oddly anticlimactic." I hear that bastard speak so smugly. "You knew him for so long and now he's dead. Do you think that was sufficient for you, or do I need to take another one of your friends in order for you to get the point? Or would you like me to do the same with your little sister next?"
From then, I feel everything within me shut down completely. I felt numb.
There was nothing but guilt.
I feel my body raise up from the ground and within a second I was standing in front of the bastard. . . . that murderer. . .
"I've been pathetic. . ." I spoke in a whisper. "But I won't let you take any more of my friends." Then I feel the air around me turning cold, lifeless. I can literally taste my own grief and guilt that had been unleashed inside the energy I was giving out.
Just like how Toguro wanted.
He did it. He broke down the walls. But I didn't care. All I can think of right now is my best friend who had been there for me from the very beginning.
It was a bumpy ride, but in the end, we got along and got closer. As teammates than as good friends. . .
But now he is dead. . . all because of me. . . I will never forgive myself for this. . .
Forcefully I ordered my legs to carry me closer to that bastard while my head hung low in shame.
As I was slowly making my way over memories began to fill my mind.
"Urameshi, I'm gonna mess your face up so bad the kittens won't even look at you."
"YUKINAAA!"
"THAT'S IT, MY HEAD IS A TRAMPOLINE IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE!"
"Cause I'm Kuwabara and in case you guys forgot, I've got a sword!"
"Beat him for all of us, Urameshi. . ."
Every adventure. . . the good and bad times. . . Kuwabara. . . I'm so sorry. . .
