Okay this story is based on Elton John's song the Fox that is his song,
but the story is mine! Except for Yu Yu Hakusho and it's characters, which
are in fact property of Yoshihiro Togashi. Kay! Enjoy!
-Being wirey and thinking loudly About the things sent to make you move-
The fox slid his nimble body through the arms of Makai bushes as he made his speedy getaway. He rose his head to find a setting golden sun plummeting behind snow-capped peaks. This was good for the fox, for he now had the aid of night's surreptitious cloak to give him an extra advantage.
-You can't help it, there's no one In this world Knows you just, just the way you do-
It is ill advised to try and outwit the King of all Thieves, but it certainly gives me exercise, not to mention amusement, watching these poor fools try their best and hardest to catch me, even through they will not succeed.
- we keep darting through the holes As the hunter and the fox
Run the gauntlet's savage road-
The trees' branches all bent backwards to make a clear path for their guardian, as he sped Along with the stolen goods under his arms. They then bent their arms to their original position to fling and stop the pursuing hunters.
-Winter's heavy and partly cloudy and snowfall leaves the tracks that catch a few-
Kurama looked up to the cloud-filled night sky and thought of where it had all started. He remember his human mother's face and how she would smile everytime Kurama came to visit. He had moved out and was just now attending college.
-if you're wiley, you will leave them lying-
She was saddened at his departure, but knew that her son had grown up into a fine young man and there wasn't a mother more proud of her son than Kurama's mother. That made him miserable that his mother had thought so highly of him when here he was a thief again. She thought greatly of him even until the day she died. That damn sickness of hers. I thought I got rid of it the first time but I guess fate is not something even Koenma or his contraptions can prevent. Kurama said gloomily to himself. Yusuke and the others had all been there to support him during and after the funeral, but Kurama still felt alone. That was except for Hiei. Hiei. Kurama filled with joy at just the thought of his name. Hiei had been there every single moment, his concern for the fox was great and soon it was clear that Hiei loved Kurama. Kurama also loved Hiei and had told him so, too. He became happy, but he also felt guilty for he did not want to push the memory of his mother from his life.
-Snared up in the traps that they Set for you-
But through time he soon realized that the Ningen world was no place for him. He was a thief and the Maikai was where he belonged. He would not make the same mistake of pretending to be something he was not. He was a thief, and he would remain that way until the day he died. Which won't be anytime soon. He added with a smirk. Kurama snapped back to reality and realized that he was still being chased. My, they are persistent. This shall end here. Kurama leapt onto a large rock and waited patiently for the hunters to catch up with him.
-And it's an evergreen affair As temptation taunts the fox Into the hunter's waiting lair-
He thought back to the lair he entered. It was quite a nice one, rich and lavish, he didn't know why they minded if he took a few things. But then again, he took the shiniest of all the treasures (A.N. Youkos are suckers for shiny things.) with him. It wasn't his fault, he was a youko and those treasures were just calling out to him.
-And for mile after mile you'll Never see me tire
You'll never see me slow down
for a while 'Cause I am the fox, like it or not-
Finally the idiots had managed to catch up to him. " Ha! We finally caught you, Youko Kurama!" said a gruff demon. "Theirs is nowhere to run to now!" Kurama just laughed at this. " You fools, did you really think the likes of you could really catch the famous bandit?" "I could run for miles, but I find it boring so I've decided to end it here."
-I'm always gonna be there
Running over the rock-
"Kisama! You will pay for that remark!" spat the demon. The others all got their weapons out ready to fight, but it was folly for them.
-Yes, I am the fox, a fascinating cross
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox-
The fox gracefully slid his dexterous fingers through his long silvery mane, revealing a single white rose. In a blink of an eye, Kurama transformed and smote his opponents in a swift fatal stroke from his new- sprung whip.
-Yes I am the fox-
Fools, they couldn't even scratch me no matter how hard they tried. How pathetic. That's when Kurama realized it cold outside. He had been running so the cold had not reached him.
-It may sound crazy but it's often Lonely-
But he knew a lair of that Hiei would visit when Muruko let him leave her kingdom, and it was not far off. He quickly sped off in that direction. When he arrived, there was a surprise waiting for him. "Hiei!" Kurama called out not noticing that his tail was wagging. "You're here." he said with excitement in his eyes. " I'm glad." He said in a softer tone. "Um. fox, your tail. it's," started Hiei. Kurama felt a tinge of pink appear on his face when he realized what Hiei was talking about. Kuso! My damn tail is doing it again! Kurama grabbed his tail and sat down on it on a nearby chair. Hiei started laughing at this sight.
-And a restless heart should be captured Once in a while-
Kurama was okay with this; it made Hiei happy. Hiei knew that if he were any other soul, he would have been immediately annihilated. " Fox, I'm also glad that you are here." " I have something important to tell you." Hiei replied. "Kurama, I have to be leaving soon. You see, Muruko is developing a new army, and it is crucial that be there the whole time. She is planning something big, and we'll be working around the clock." Kurama was extremely devastated by this fact, but he was determined not to reveal his pain. " So how long are you going to be gone?" he said coolly. " For a very long time." Hiei replied. He then bent down and gently placed his hand on Kurama's cheek. " Kurama, I have a giant request for you. I have to stay there, and Muruko does not let people visit into her territory, the only way to get into there is if one lived there." Kurama stared into Hiei's eyes with his eyes aglow. "Kurama. I wish for you to come with me to Muruko's." Hiei whispered softly with a sad expression on his face. The fox then gazed into his lover's eyes and saw a flames of sincerity and yearning. Kurama's expression softened. Hiei really loved him dearly, and it was painful to watch Hiei succumb to grief, from being without his fox. Kurama wanted to tell him that he would always stay by his side if that Hiei wished it, which he did. But he remembered the last time he had tried to fool himself. It had only ended in pain and sorrow. No the place for him was the woods he would stay there forever.
-Then you can use them, and you can Often fool them-
" Hiei, I do enjoy being by your side, but I'm not one to become just another lackey of Muruko's. I am sorry but thieving is what I do and the woods are where this fox belongs. I'm not going to be with you anymore, if you plan on staying in Muruko's fortress." Dammit, why did I just say that? STUPID! No, Hiei! Don't listen to my idiotic mouth! I love you and want to stay with you no matter where you go! Ugg! Why can't I just risk going with Hiei, for that is what I want! "So, I take it that our love has been degraded to the point you are not willing to make changes to your lifestyle? Do I mean nothing to you?" Hiei asked coolly through it was apparent that he was heartbroken at the fox's statement. Kurama remained silent. His mind was so appalled at this question, he couldn't think of anything witty to say back. Just a second ago, he couldn't stop idiotic words, but words nonetheless from coming out, now he was speechless. Can you imagine any thing so pathetic? He, the Great Youko, couldn't find words, even through his heart was blaring at him to go against everything his mind said and speak his true feelings. "So," Hiei spat with ice lining every syllable of his words, "this is how it is?" " Hiei." Kurama gently called out in hopes to sooth his lover, but it was no avail. " Just go and leave me." Hiei spoke his last words and turned away with tears beginning to warm behind his eyes.
-Into believing Whatever you desire-
Kurama stared into the darkness and watched Hiei disappear. He slowly rose up. He was emotionless, for he had become numb of all the anger, pain, and regret that was sealed inside of him. Kurama, turned and walked out into the cold night air with a hollow heart from shock of what had just happened.
-So I'll keep moving Through the night-
But when met the outside world, something was waiting for him. "Did you think you would escape from us, youko?" said a deep, icy voice that cut through the air. Kurama ears perked up at this, and he quickly turned around to find the voice's owner. When the fox found the voice, he saw a demon standing a few feet away from him with lackeys on both of his sides. The demon was a lot taller than the kitsune, and muscles were bulging from underneath his black attire. His hair was long and jet-black, and he would have good-looking, if not for the fact that his hair was in desperate need of a good grooming. But this did not matter, for he soon would be dead. I guess some people can't stand losing. The fox thought. I will just have to use more effort to keep them away for good this time. "So." Kurama said. " It seems those morons have friends." The leader then replied," Yes, they do, more than you know." Then out of the darkness appeared more hunters, and their numbers quickly increased until the point where Kurama was surrounded completely by a least 200 demons. This was not good. Not good at all. The leader then smirked; he was pleased that the youko was horrified at this. Kurama thought about fighting, but he had a bad feeling that their leader was very powerful and with the power of all the other demons combined, he would be taken down. Besides, Kurama was weary from his fight with Hiei, and to fight a confrontation this big right now would be foolish. The fox had no choice, but to flee. Kurama then shot up into the night sky, and darted back down into the trees. "Youko, have you learned nothing?" " You can run all you like, but you will never escape." The leader chuckled.
-The hunter and the hunted On their designated flights.-
Kurama kept on running through, and leapt from tree to tree as fast as his feet would carry him. But as fortune would have it, Kurama was hit with an arrow that deeply cut into his ankle, and so he fell from his unsuccessful jump with a heavy thud. Blood poured from his ankle, and Kurama tried desperately to suppress his whimpers; he was in pain and had no chance of running. "Master, I can smell the blood of a fox, he is not far off." Spoke a high-pitched voice. "Good, Good." "Here Kitty, Kitty, come out wherever you are, come out and play!" The leader laughed with a malicious gleam in his eyes. Then to the injured fox's horror he saw the demons appeared around him. The leader then stepped forward towards Kurama. Wait, what is that look in his eyes? Thought the fox. That is the look of lustfulness if I'm not mistaken. No, it definitely is lust. Kurama's eyes widened with terror at the thought. This demon was not going to kill Kurama, but he had in fact a much worse fate in store for the fox.
Ooooo! A cliffhanger! Oooooo! Okay, I'm sorry, I hate cliffhangers as much as the next person, they really are the spawn of Satan, but my fingers are pleading with me and I got stop somewhere good. Gomen nasai! Please Review if Possible, and please no junk about how Kurama and Hiei aren't gay, it's just a story, okay? I really have no interest in hearing that so please don't write it. Other than that, TTFN!
