Second Chance.
Oh Angel The entire song.
Each lonely night
I get through without you becomes my victory
Each empty night I
fight against the light that is my destiny
There are times... I wonder if it would have been different...Hiei had sat in a random tree outside of Kurama's old appartment. Of course, it had been vacant for years now. Every home that his team had lived in had been. Such is the life of a demon... It had been years since any of them had been alive, other than Yukina. Human's lived such short lives, an the blink of an eye to him, his old team had been outlived by time itself. Hiei wouldn't admit it to himself, but it was rather... a lonely... feeling.
But I still can't help it that I think about you... It almost seemed pathetic to him, the short life that Kurama had lived, and he still faced the world with a smiling face. That same face that he would have killed to see at that moment. The fool... A pain had formed inside his heart now that he began to think more and more about him. How after his human form grew so grey and wrinkled he had suddenly dissappeared from sight. Why? He had dissappeared too far for Hiei to get to. Even though, with the help of his jagan, he could still sence him, somewhere, in this world. His life is fading...
When nothing makes sense I look up at the clouds in the
sky
They don't answer but I still ask why...
How... He thought, could he have possibly outlived them all, even now? Crimson hues had gazed upward to the darkening sky. The sun had just been setting. He could almost hear them all, and how it used to be. The girls watching the sunset and saying how pretty it looked. Baka would say something moronic to Yukina about how he'd do anything in his pathetic power to keep it like that. Yuuske would have an arm around Keiko, and Hiei would sit far behind them. Then Kurama would be standing there besides him... always there. He had always been there, with a smile on his face, and charming words.
Even
a wolf gets lonely
Sharpen your claws, bare your fangs and go on!
What was this, this feeling he had inside of him? Making him remember the "Good times" with the team... With the turn of his head, he'd look across the skyline, then downward. He'd stand and jump on over to Kurama's old window, peering in. New occupants had moved in, then out... Currently it had been empty, and the window unlocked. Sliding it open he'd step into Kurama's old bedroom-His furniture still being set inside his mind. What am I doing? Was he... lonely
People do fall in
love
Though they may swear that the pain won't let go
forevermore
I'll burn the flame of your dreams in my soul
Hiei had stood in the empty room for several moments, replaying some of the tender-and as much as he'd hate to admit it- loving moments they had shared. This wasn't like him... usually Hiei would shrug something off and move on. Why should Kurama, or anyone else, be any different? Was it because being with them, believe it or not, was the best time Hiei could ever have had? Hn! He wouldn't admit it to himself, but it was. So stubborn he was.
Suddenly he had felt Kurama's life force completely dissappear. Crimson hues had opened wide, did his human form die? A soft sigh as Hiei would take a step foward before stopping. When Kurama had left, it felt like the end-But now it had been official. Turning around he'd face the window, only to blink twice.
Whoa-oh! Oh Angel!
Come greet the dawn, it's a brand
new day!
"Ka'rama" Hiei had said,
looking to the silver haired demon who stood outside the window.
"You thought that the end, Hiei"
A
smirk had formed on his face just then, both hands being shoved into
the pockets of his pants before he had walked toward the window. Hiei
had glanced upward to Kurama, just staring at him. The human Kurama
had been beautiful, but so had this Kurama. Another thing Hiei
wouldn't admit to himself... That he was in love with this beautiful
fox. "No."
