Fugen: Hey, minna-san, I'm baaaaaaaaaaacckkkkk! Gomen nasai, but I had
a lot of
family stuff to do over the summer, and even before that, I had to start studying for final
exams. Now I have to start studying for the SAT (which they just upped to 2400 instead
of the normal 1600), but I'm BACK!
Hiei: We're doomed...
Fugen: OO you mean...you didn't miss me...?
Hiei: We had ample reason to do just that, and we did.
Kurama: Hiei, be nice. It's been a rather long time since she's last written anything.
Hiei: So why're you complaining?
Fugen: sniff well...I guess then...I'll just write a fic...WHERE YOU AND
KURAMA NEVER GET TOGETHER AND ONE OF YOU DIES! MUA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Hiei: See?
Kurama: All too well...
Fugen: Ah! I in no way own YYH, neither do I own Hiei and Kurama! (But trust me, I wish I did. I really do. So all you other Hiei and Kurama fans, HANDS OFF! THEY'RE MINE!) By the way, this fic's about how Kurama and Hiei first met, but it's not the one from the manga. This one I made up completely, so don't you YYH manga people start throwing stuff at me, yelling, "HIEI AND KURAMA DID NOT MEET THAT WAY!"
(Kurama's POV)
I saw you. That's all I can say, at least, that's all I can say without having my
heart start racing or my breath suddenly getting caught in my throat.
I saw you. I saw you there in the shadows, the outline of your body barely
visible, but I knew you were there. Your eyes gleamed like blood-red rubies, seemingly
empty of emotion and yet, I felt the fire inside you. I could almost see the flames of
defiance at the world, defying the customary fates for demons, such as death in infancy
or total destruction of one's will. The latter I knew could never happen to you. You
were too strong, too strong of heart and pride to even imagine such a thing happening to
you. You were strong, and I saw your strength.
As much as I saw all that, I saw your pain. You had suffered, as all demons do in
their early days, and you still suffered from a pain you would not, you could not reveal
to me. I felt the cold walls you had built around yourself, walls that showed themselves
all too clearly in your eyes, keeping your emotions from being revealed.
I wanted to take that pain away.
How strange. I only saw you for a short moment, and for all I knew, you weren't
even real, and only an ephemeral dream. But you were a wonderful dream, the kind that
pulled one in and never let one go. Ironic, isn't it? From that moment, I knew I could
never let you go, not from my heart, just as you wouldn't let me go. A futile thing to do,
for at that moment, the very last thing I wanted was to be released from the dream that
was you.
How alien this feeling is to me. The intense desire to take away someone else's
pain and suffering, not caring if they hated you, just as long as that person was happy. It
was like the way I felt for my mother, but something more intoxicating (in a good way),
more...indescribable.
Someone once told me that there was something in life that came once, and only
once. As a result, if you just passed that thing on by, if you failed to notice it or rejected
it, that thing would never come again, never again. That was how precious it was, that
thing. However, that someone never told me what that 'thing' was.
But now...I think I know.
Fugen: How's that for a comeback, people? And don't worry, I'll be doing a fic of the
same thing next, only in Hiei's POV! And I might redo this one to make it longer.
Hiei: Not bad...it doesn't involve any sort of glomping on me...
Fugen: heh heh heh
