18th birthday celebratory flufftober ~Day 28~

Prompt(s): "All I need is you. Nothing else matters."

Character: Kurama

Manga/anime: Yu Yu Hakusho

Warnings: nothing

(Y/N): your name

Youko had been one of the most ruthless youkai: he had never had any humanity, he had never felt pity for anyone, he had never had qualms about getting what he had wanted.

Yet, there had been one person who had seemed to give him all the humanity he had never had.

(Y/N), indeed, had been the only one in the world he had ever loved.

The two had been living in complete symbiosis for centuries: despite being a youkai herself, she hadn't particularly appreciated his "work," thus he had scaled back his plans to make her happy and spend more time with her; she, in turn, had begun to teach him those human emotions he had always despised, which had nevertheless allowed him to improve his relationships with his subordinates.

However, everything had changed after the defeat of the bandit, who had been forced to take refuge in the human world, losing his beloved.

Throughout all the years he had grown in that frail human body, he had never stopped thinking about her, and he had kept counting the days until he would have been able to hug her again.

Nevertheless, everything had fallen apart after fourteen years of being trapped in Minamino Shuichi's body: when he had asked Hiei if he had known a youkai named (Y/N), he had replied she had been dead for a long time, killed when she had tried to cross the threshold which would have lead her to him, to the human world.

That night, Kurama hadn't slept a wink and, for the first time, Youko had cried. He had cried so much his mother had become worried about him, and for the first time her reassurances had been useless. Only that night he had realized the youkai had been truly what humans called a soulmate, the one who had completed him.

After about a year, the wound of his heart had slowly healed, thanks in part to his mother's love, but the emptiness he had felt was never completely filled: it was as if he were missing the half of himself which had allowed him to be happy, that half of (Y/N).

Thanks to his friends, he had tried to start living again, but the emptiness persisted, until one day.

He would remember it forever: it was a spring morning, warm in his classroom, and from the desk near the window, where he sat, he could see the cherry blossoms in the garden, which he found more interesting than the math teacher who was lecturing. Suddenly, though, the fox inside him began to stir, sensing a very familiar presence. He turned his gaze toward it, and his eyes met those of his former mate. Or rather, they were eyes very similar to hers, but different at the same time.

Who was she?

Was she a reincarnation of (Y/N)? It was definitely so, Youko had shown it with his attitude.

Did she remember him? Did she sense the youkai within him? Judging by the questioning look she had given him in response to the intensity of his gaze, it was unlikely.

That day, everything had changed. That day, he had decided he would stay by her side and protect her at all costs, while the void was filled by her presence the more they were together.

When she had met Shuichi's gaze, (Y/N) had felt a jolt of energy course through her.

She hadn't understood the exact reason, but she had felt incredibly drawn to him, and that attraction only grew stronger the more time they spent together.

"Shuichi, you know something I don't, right?" The girl asked him one day, when the two had just started dating.

The boy was sitting on the couch, his girlfriend next to him, enjoying the calm with her, his heart no longer feeling the painful, suffocating emptiness it had felt for a year.

"What are you saying, (Y/N)? I'm not hiding anything from you."

"Don't lie to me, I've noticed it for a while now." She said softly, without any reproach in her voice.

"I... -Kurama took a deep breath, taking her hands in his- Listen, this is a very complex situation to explain, and I... I-

"You don't feel like saying it, do you?" She interrupted him.

"No..."

"Okay, I understand -She murmured, causing him to roll his eyes, which he had lowered to their hands, to meet hers- I don't want you to feel obligated to speak. Just tell me one thing: is it serious? Should I be worried?"

"Absolutely not!" At first, he raised his voice, surprising her, but then lowered his tone: "In fact, it's a very good thing, at least on my part".

"I -He continued, after a few seconds during which silence had fallen between them- I don't want this secret to dampen our relationship."

"It won't ruin it: I trust you, I know you would never hurt me. You're a kind person, Shuichi." There it was again, (Y/N)'s personality, that attitude of someone who didn't see the evil in people, which reminded him so much of his beloved.

"You're too kind." He retorted, hugging her gently, tears almost falling down his face.

"Sometimes -He continued- I truly fear losing you. I don't think I could bear it a second time." The human decided to gloss over the last sentence, having noticed his state of mind.

She would ask him later.

"You won't lose me, Shuichi: I'll always stay with you, at least as long as you let me."

"Then stay forever: all I need is you. Nothing else matters."
