- The Autumn Effect -

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Yu Hakusho or the lyrics to the song 'The Autumn Effect' by 10 Years.

Casting a cool breeze

Supplied by the autumn

Question…

Where it went wrong

Climbing Jacob's ladder

Climbing Jacob's ladder

Kindly could you reevaluate

Autumn's animated growth…

It's that same feeling again… the feeling I had when he left. It's the feeling that overcame me when I watched them take him away. I feel so… helpless. Nothing is supposed to make sense. It's all part of Karma's sinister plan. She's out to get me. Why me? Why am I stuck in this one spot with no way out? Even my windows are barred up… but it's still so clear. Autumn is here.

Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know

Autumn indicates the death of beauty as we know

Keep on fighting

One died from

Burning at his throat

Autumn swiftly stole the breath of body, mind, and soul.

Autumn… a season of death. It's the time where everything fades. There is no rebirth – just loss… of everything. I wonder why it has to be that way. I wonder why I had to lose so much. I wonder why he didn't save me. Is it because he is abandoning me too? Is he… going to disappear with the rest of them? Please don't leave me alone in this place. I don't want to be alone anymore.

Try and come to willingly embrace

Karma's kiss of withering decay

Death feeds

Hell breeds

Subside in the autumn

I must be drowning somewhere. It feels so hard to breathe. I can't grasp any air. But I can still see Autumn. It's mocking my helpless state. It branches are scraping at my room's window. They love to taunt me this way. Everyone loves to… It's a game. Maybe that's why I'm here. They lost all hope for me… even him. He doesn't see what I used to be. He sees someone weak. I'm so unworthy. I've become inferior.

One died from

Burning at his throat

Autumn swiftly stole the breath of body, mind, and soul

I guess Autumn will take me. It's the only thing that will understand. It's the only thing that will embrace this shattered spirit.

Silent beauty…

No one cares

Silent ending…

No one is there…

(A/N: I know. It's a short fic, and I'm sure, to most of you, that it was confusing. Well… I'll tell you what! Since I've been so horrible at keeping up with things, I'll give a special prize to the first person who can tell me where Hiei is and why he seems to be acting this way. I won't be too picky about explanations. The prize will be any Fanfic for the following anime – Hellsing, Yu Yu Hakusho, or DNAngel. Good luck!)
