Rose
xxxxxxxxxx
You are a rose:
Deceptively beautiful,
Yet covered in thorns.
You allow others to bask in your beauty,
Caressing your petals,
Intoxicated by your scent.
They cannot have you as their own, however.
They are pierced by your thorns as they try to claim you.
Some might try to cut you off the bush,
Slowly allowing you to die as they selfishly watch over you,
Captured in a beautiful crystal vase.
The only way to get close to you,
Is to permit your vines to wrap around me,
Trapping me effectively,
Taming me efficiently,
And I am now yours,
Precious rose.

O.o;; Um, that was odd. It's about Kurama (well, of course) and I intended it to be from Hiei, but you can have whoever you want as narrator: Yusuke, Kuronue, Botan, whomever! . (Oh, and I know that Kurama's a fox-spirit, I'm just comparing him to a rose.)
