Across the oceans
Across the seas
Over forests of blackened trees
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe
To be by your side.
Hiei stared out over the stormy ocean , hands in his pockets as the winds tossed his bangs back and forth across his face. He was haunted by lavender eyes, by the face of the only girl he'd ever loved.
He closed his eyes against her memory and turned to the trees, taking off into the darkness of the forest.
Over the shifting desert plains
Across mountains all in flames
Through howling winds and driving rains
To be by your side
She smiled a sad smile as she looked out over the plains of the Makai. She should have stay home, in the human world , she was, after all, human. She had been sick now for a few months, since Hiei had left , the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, couldn't do anything to help her.
The doctors had given her no more than a week to live, it didn't really bother her, everyone had to die sometime, it was her turn now.
Every mile and every year
for everyone a little tear
I cannot explain this, dear
I will not even try
Lenora had spent the last four days looking for Hiei, and now her coughing had grown worse, every inch of her body ached , and she was no closer to finding the fire apparition now, than she had been four days ago when she began her search.
She knew the Makai was no place for a human, especially a steadily weakening human, but she had promised herself that she would find Hiei. That she would see him one more time before she died, even if it was from a distance.
Into the night as the stars collide
Across the borders that divide
forests of stone standing petrified
To be by your side
The stars glowed with unusual clarity in the black of night, as Hiei parried to avoid a fatal blow delivered by his enemy, he then used the split moment of unbalance, on his enemies part, to deliver a fatal blow of his own.
.
The fight was over
Every mile and every year
For every one a single tear
I cannot explain this, dear
I will not even try
For I know one thing
Love comes on a wing
For tonight I will be by your side
But tomorrow I will fly
Lenora's knees gave out and she fell to the ground weakly, living now on nothing more than will power, and even that was wavering.
What was the use? It was useless to look for Hiei when he didn't want to be found. Futile.
From the deepest ocean to the highest peak
Through the frontiers of your sleep
Into the valley where we dare not speak
To be by your side
She gritted her teeth, pushing her self back onto her feet shakily, she had fought and won before with worse odds than these.
She could find him, she WOULD, she had to.
Across the endless wilderness
where all the beasts bow down their heads
Darling I will never rest
till I am by your side
Every mile and every year
Time and distance disappear
I cannot explain this
Dear No, I will not even try
He moved to leave, in search of his next opponent , but something stopped him, instinct maybe, or his heart, he wasn't sure which.
Hiei turned around, meeting lavender eyes almost instantly.
His heart panged violently at the sight of her, she didn't look well, barely standing, breathing hard, as if every breath took everything she had.
Still she smiled at him, and as she fell forward he instinctively caught her.
And I know just one thing
Love comes on a wing
and tonight I will be by your side
She loved those eyes, that face, she reached up to touch him, to assure herself he was really there, and then she smiled again .
Her hand fell from his face, as a single tear made its way down hers. She left him with her last smile, and as her soul floated on the winds of change it began to rain.
But tomorrow I will fly away
Love rises with the day
and tonight I may be by your side
But tomorrow I will fly
Tomorrow I will fly,
Tomorrow I will fly
