A/N: This is kind of a spin off or prologue to my prologue of my original
fic, Someone Worth Fighting For, I just got the urge to write it and
thought I'd put it up for those who enjoyed my character Adreana. This
incident takes place a few days before she came to be with Kurama and
explains what changed her mind and made her try to quit! Once again thank
you to all those who ever reviewed for my story, this is for you.
WARNING: If you have not read Someone Worth Fighting For, I really urge you to read that first, because if you don't... well you'll have no damn clue as to what's going on! Sweat drops
Disclaimer: If I really owned YuYu Hakusho, do you really think I'd spend my time writing fanfics? And I don't own the song either; it's by Switchfoot, the ultimate band lol bow down, bow down low.
Adreana's Song
The clock struck midnight when she slipped from the room and stepped out into the falling snow. Wearing nothing but her white kimono and white cloak she walked down a path that only she seemed to know.
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead. Yesterday is a promise that you've broken. Don't close your eyes, Don't close your eyes, This is your life, And today is all you've got now, And today is all you'll ever have.
It wound through the snowy woods to a cliff of ice and snow, where now she stood looking out on the world. Regardless of the heavy clouds that blanketed the sky a few stars still shinned. Smiling slightly up at them, she realized they were like last hopes.
Don't close your eyes, Don't close your eyes, This is your life, Are you who you wanna be? This is your life, Are you who you wanna be? This is your life, Is it everything you'd dreamed it would be? When the world was younger and you had everything to lose...
Pulling her sword from its sheath underneath her cloak she brought it in front of her and stared at the blade. The sword had brought so much damage and pain to people... but she still loved it, for what it represented.
Yesterday is a kid in the corner, Yesterday is dead and over. This is your life, Are you who you wanna be? This is your life, Are you who you wanna be? This is your life, Is it everything you'd dreamed it would be? When the world was younger and you had everything to lose...
Her eyes stared deep into her own on the blade. Enormous aquamarine orbs filled to the brink with glistening tears as if they were a reflection of her soul, the soul that was slowly crying, again, dying.
Don't close your eyes, Don't close your eyes, Don't close your eyes, Don't close your eyes,
"What can I do...? How can I redeem my soul? This is not who I want to be..." Her long braid twisted and turned in the wind, blowing to the south.
This is your life... Are you who you wanna be?
"This is not... who he would've wanted me to be!" As if those words were a catalyst she blinked back her tears and forced a smile.
This is your life, Are you who you wanna be? Are you who you wanna be? Are you who you wanna be?
"I'm sick of living for someone else." Swinging the blade she brought the tip to her cheek and held her other arm out over the cliff. "For all the blood I've spilt, I give back-" And with that she swung the blade again, striking her arm and leaving a clean cut.
Are you who you wanna be? Is it everything you'd dreamed it would be? When the world was younger and you had everything to lose, You had everything to lose...
The blood slowly started to drip over the edge of the cliff. "This is my self sacrifice, though it may never make up for all I've done... I pray it will at least help."
When it had bleed enough she drew it to her side and then wiped the blood from the sword on the snow. Sheathing it she glanced one more time towards the sky.
"I'll be who I wanna be... just watch Robbie."
