Time Is Your Battleground (Yu Yu Hakusho Fanfiction: Toguro and Genkai)

“I am old now. One day, in the lobby of a public place, a man came up to me. He introduced himself and said to me, ‘I know you. I will always remember you. Back then, you were very young, and everyone said you were beautiful. Now, I came here especially to tell you that, to me, you are more beautiful now than you were when you were young. You were a young woman then, but compared with how you looked back then, I love your face now, ravaged as it is.’

The Lover, Marguerite Duras

Fight Against Time: Time Is Your Battlefield

If I could, I wouldn't describe these two as a couple. The feelings that young people like us can't understand: Genkai was dazzlingly brilliant in her youth, and in old age, she simply accepted the fate of being human with composure. As someone in their twenties, I can't truly imagine what was going through her mind. But I've always loved her, always loved her. I feel that a woman like her is truly strong, from body to soul.
