While I work on my new fic, which is going to be pretty long, I figure I should post something. These are the lyrics from the Broadway musical, Wicked. It's called "For Good" and I think it pretty well sums up how Kurama feels about his human mother. I think It fits really well in the part where she's in the hospital. It takes place before he steals the mirror. So, without anymore stalling, here's...
For Good
Song written by: Stephen Schwartz
Put into the words of Kurama by: EvilKritter
(p.s. I don't own Kurama or his mother)
Kurama sat in a chair, beside his mother's bed. She was sick, very sick, and was, most likely, going to die soon. He used the time that she was asleep to think back on everything they had done together. He soon recalled a song he had heared once, while riding in the car with his mother. It had been a classical station, and he noticed how the words had spoken to him that day.
I'VE HEARD IT SAID
THAT PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES FOR A REASON.
She stirred slightly and he gentally grasped her hand. He sent a sad smile at her sleeping form and began to sing.
BRINGING SOMETHING WE MUST LEARN
AND WE ARE LED
TO THOSE WHO HELP US MOST TO GROW
IF WE LET THEM
AND WE HELP THEM IN RETURN
WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE
BUT I KNOW I'M WHO I AM TODAY
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT
AS IT PASSES A SUN
LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER
HALF-WAY THROUGH THE WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD …
She stirred again.
IT WELL MAY BE
THAT WE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN
IN THIS LIFETIME
SO LET ME SAY BEFORE WE PART
SO MUCH OF ME
IS MADE OF WHAT I LEARNED FROM YOU
YOU'LL BE WITH ME
LIKE A HANDPRINT ON MY HEART
AND NOW WHATEVER WAY OUR STORIES END
I KNOW YOU HAVE RE-WRITTEN MINE
BY BEING MY FRIEND...
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN FROM ITS MOORING
BY A WIND OFF THE SEA
LIKE A SEED DROPPED BY A SKYBIRD
IN A DISTANT WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD...
AND JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR
I ASK FORGIVENESS
FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE YOU BLAME ME FOR
BUT THEN, I GUESS WE KNOW
THERE'S BLAME TO SHARE
AND NONE OF IT SEEMS TO MATTER ANYMORE
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM
ORBIT AS IT PASSES A SUN
LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A
BOULDER HALF-WAY
THROUGH THE WOOD
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN OFF ITS
MOORING BY A WIND OFF THE
SEA LIKE A SEED DROPPED BY A
BIRD IN
THE WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
I DO BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
AND BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD.
A dark shadow moved near the window and Kurama looked up.
The short demon, wearing all black, glared at the woman. "I know how you can save her..."
A/N: This song makes me kind of sad. Please review
