Who Dare To Lie

by Dementian

When a stranger claims to be Yukina's brother, Hiei considers him both a burden and a blessing. With Yukina still ignorant of their relationship yet happy, Hiei is forced to look at his life and the choices he made along the way for Yukina's sake. The reveal is disturbing, but not nearly as disturbing as the truth behind the stranger and the real mastermind pulling the strings.

1. Preface Poem

I have loved her too much, perhaps,

For my own good.

But when the thunder clapped,

among the wood

Her voice and smile could so contrive

To work their spell,

Until that healing power was alive

In me as well.

A brave brother lies not once, I've heard.

Who am I

To doubt a sage, or a brave brother's word?

But I must lie

For when I lie I stand among those who share

The unimaginable pain

of truth repeated- yet who dare

to lie again.
