I don't know how, and I don't know why, because when I wrote this I had many things in my mind, none of them Yû Yû Hakusho related, but this is about Yûsuke. I can feel it. The pretty lady isn't Keiko so much as it is the rest of the world. It takes place, I suppose, during the Sensui saga when everyone's getting just a little nervous that Yûsuke will turn out like Sensui and try to destroy humanity.
Disclaimer: uh, yeah, sure.
the hero's lament
I stand alone inside in the
ocean, it laps at my heels and
swells in the torrents of pounding
rain on my shoulders, reminding me of
all of your troubles weighing me down
because I'm the
H E R O
I hear screams you're the
H E R O
who saves the world it's the
H E R O
keeping darkness at bay.
Evil stole my pretty lady as she
succumbed to the temptations, all
offered when the glowing night sky said
Come with me, take my hand, you pretty lady, I can
give you the world 'cause the hero's not home
because I'm the
H E R O
they expect me, the
H E R O
to climb from the ocean, and the
H E R O
will return from hell for them.
I said, it's your fault
pretty lady, I'm not watching over you
every moment of every day, just because you're
my pretty lady, what would you say if I told you that
I'm not gonna be your hero anymore?
