Author's note: Dedicated to the memory of Joseph Rodes who would be nineteen today. He loved Yu Yu Hakusho…especially Kurama and Kuronue. After he saw the movie…he was hooked on the pairing of Yoko Kurama and Kuronue. These are for him…Happy Birthday, Joseph…I hope you and Caleb are happy! I love and miss you so much.

"Hypnotize the Moon"

She knew she caught my eye

And that was all it took

Ain't it strange how forever changed

With just one look

The magic filled the night

She touched my soul like no one else

Yes, the way that woman made me feel

Left me talking to myself

Oh, oh

Sitting there, it was hard not to remember meeting him. He'd been so beautiful with his long silver hair and piercing golden eyes. He'd been cold then…but most thieves and bandits were cold. Meeting Youko Kurama had been the highlight of his existence and he never regretted it. He knew that Kurama would be finding a new lover and that he wasn't supposed to intervene. He'd been granted one last night to see his lover though the other male couldn't see him. He had to admit that even human, Youko was lovely. He missed the male so much but he'd had his time with him and could not be selfish. He'd been so naïve then…they both had. However, what they lacked in experience they made up for in sheer passion and force of will. They'd terrorized the Makai until his untimely death. They were legends in their own right.

You better run for cover

You better hide your heart

'Cause once you start to love her

You know you'll never stop

She shines like a diamond

When she walks into a room

She could charm the stars

Hypnotize the moon

Those words described Yoko perfectly. If you weren't careful, he'd steal your heart. He made quite an impression on all who met him and didn't get killed by him. Kuronue had been lucky that Yoko didn't think of him as too much of a hindrance and kill him. Not many people made a nuisance of themselves in front of the Legendary bandit and lived.

Once I held her close

I knew just where I stood

No, you never get a second chance

To ever feel so good

Then and there I knew

These words were etched in stone

If you can't feel the power of

The greatest love you've known

Oh, oh

A sad smile crosses his face. He'd had such a short time with the silver-haired thief but it was all that fate seemed to want to grant him. Tears fill his eyes as he watches Kurama. He missed him so much and wanted so much to hold him again and tell him he loved him still. However, that was against the rules of what he could do at this point in time. Trembling and wishing things could be different he watches the redhead sit and sip a drink while listening to the music. He only wonders if he was thinking about him or whoever his current crush was.

You better run for cover

You better hide your heart

'Cause once you start to love her

You know you'll never stop

She shines like a diamond

When she walks into a room

She could charm the stars

Hypnotize the moon

"I should have been more careful," he whispers mournfully, "Maybe then this wouldn't have hurt so much…I love you, Yoko, I will always love you." He had to stop regretting the things he couldn't change. "I hope you are happy…you deserve it, my silver bandit."

All I am, All I'll be

Everything in the world, all I'll ever need

Is in your eyes, shining at me

When you smile I can feel all my passion unfolding

Your hair brushes mine

And a thousand sensations seduce me 'cause

I do, cherish you

For the rest of my life

You don't have to think twice

I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul

It's beyond my control

I've waited so long to say this to you

If you're asking do I love you this much, I do

Closing his eyes, he almost believed those words. He had almost been ready to give up on ever finding someone of his own. When Kuronue had come into his life, he'd been ready to just surrender. The male's appearance in his life had made it worth living. The memories were bitter-sweet but the male wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. Those years he spent with Kuronue had been the best of his life. He'd never want to forget those years.

In my world before you

I lived outside my emotions

Didn't know where I was going

Until that day I found you

And you opened my eyes to a new paradise

In a world torn by change

With all of my heart, until my dieing day

Listening to the words makes Kuronue want to cry. He truly had felt that way and wished Kurama knew those words to be true. He hadn't had anything that felt so right in his life until then. Until they had met, he'd been so lost and unsure of himself. When Yoko took him as his partner, he'd finally been brought home. Tears glisten in his eyes and he walks behind the male he'd love until the end of time. He knew Kurama would never know he was there but he couldn't help singing along with the next words and inwardly wishing that the other male would hear him.

I've waited so long to say this to you

So, if you're asking do I love you this much, I do

Oh, I do
