Now they were getting to the heart of the matter and Hiei couldn't say he was surprised. Do you ever wonder? If you were to fall tomorrow, do you wonder who would look after Yukina and protect her?" "It's not death I fear, it's what I'll leave behind. Now he wondered if perhaps he should have. Keiko had begged him not to come this year, her instincts telling her that something would go terribly wrong but he hadn't listened. So much was waiting for him back home but the pull of demon realm was just too much to ignore anymore. " Heh you're right." Yusuke turned to stare out the window then up at the crimson sky that was so unlike the one in the Ningenkai. ![]() However since you're so familiar with the concept of dying I seriously doubt that's where you are going with this." "Someone worried about death has no business participating in the Tournaments Yusuke, you know that. It would likely go to one of the newcomers, though that wouldn't stop them from trying. He'd felt it, Mukuro had as well and neither of them believed their chances of winning this thing were that high. Somehow he wasn't surprised that Yusuke felt the power surge coming off of the newcomers. Anyone of us could die out there today or even tomorrow, the power I feel from some of the others is worse than the last Tournament." Hell, maybe even a bit worse than me I dunno. "Speak your mind Yusuke, it's not like you to hesitate." He was blunt and to the point, unlike so many other humans he'd had the misfortune of coming across. Usually when the man wanted to know something he didn't bother with the niceties of asking, it was one of the things Hiei had liked about him. In that moment the Toushin looked so forlorn it had startled him for a moment, his eyes narrowed in concern. Even though that had been three years ago he could still see the man standing in front of him, his voice clear as day. Any one of the others would be better suited to the task, yet Yusuke had come to him just before his fight in the last Makai Tournament. That was why the last wish of his old friend had surprised him so greatly. Hiei wasn't deluding himself into believing that he would die of old age unlike the others, he fully accepted what he was and what his life entailed. Just as he knew that he was likely to meet the same ill fated end, though the circumstances were likely to be different behind it. Hiei had accepted this, as had all of the others but that hadn't lessened the intense pain that his passing had caused when it happened. ![]() It had always been a given that Yusuke would meet his end tragically, most likely at a young age with the kind of life he led.
