[INTRODUCTION ]
Yusuke, laying on the pavement in front of a car. Shocked pedestrians gape numbly at him.
"And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow"
[Cut to Scene]
In his spirit form, Yusuke hovers over Keiko. A sad look flits over his countenance as his fingers slide through her shoulders.
"You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now"
He glances up at Botan, impatiently waiting on her oar, and reluctantly floats up to recieve the next part of his divine test.
[fades]
"And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight"
Yusuke, in Kuwabara's body, saying farewell to Keiko. His face contorts with worry and frustration at the approach of the setting sun. As Keiko reaches out to him, Yusuke makes a motion to wrap his arms around her......just as the last rays of the sun stretch across his face. Too late to comfort her, he watches enviously as the puzzled Kuwabara tries, in vain, to soothe Keiko.
[Zoom in to Keiko's face. Background of Kuwabara's shirt disappears, and is replaced by the soft, white sheets of a bed.]
[CHORUS]
"And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"
Keiko sleeping fitfully. Turning abruptly in her bed, she knocks over a picture frame on the nearby desk. It shatters to the floor, the glass shards covering the thin rug, and the picture of Yusuke encased in the frame flutters gently down onto the ruins.
[Zoom in to Yusuke's picture, until extremely blurry, then zoom out to reveal next scene.]
"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive"
Keiko leaning over the comatose Yusuke, saying to herself that he isn't dead, but she begins to weaken, and choking on suppressed sobs, she finally bursts into tears. They roll off her face and splash onto Yusuke's lifeless cheeks, and trickle down as if he were crying himself.
[CHORUS]
Yusuke creeps up behind her, standing over and gazing regretfully at the wailing girl and his still form. He hesitates for a moment, and again, tries to touch her shoulder. This time, it miraculsly rests on her, as if it were solid.
[CHORUS]
Keiko's eyes widen, and reaches behind to grab the "intruder". Turning in slow motion, she catches the shimmering, wavering outline of Yusuke before he disappears. He grins, and it breaks through Keiko's clouds of sorrow. Smiling slightly through her tears, she waves goodbye.
[Repeat 3 times, fading in volume as each line is sung]
"I just want you to know who I am"
Crawling over to Yusuke's body, Keiko caresses his lips slowly. Bowing her head mournfully, she leans over and kisses him, a passionate, angst-filled kiss. Then, sitting up, she stares out the window, waiting.....
