Hiei looked up at the sky, watching with a depressed look on his face as a cloud passed over the moon. He sighed, closing his eyes for a moment.

"I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sweep alone Sweep the streets I used to own."

Kurama bent down, resting an arm on his knee as he picked up and examined one of the roses that had fallen. It wilted in his hand, the petals wrinkling and becoming as thin as paper.

"I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen to the crowd would sing 'Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!'"

He stood as he and Hiei joined together in the next verse.

"One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand."

The four boys sang the chorus together, sad looks on their faces.

"I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world."

Kuwabara looked down at his hands, singing alone.

"It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in. shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become."

Yusuke looked to his right, staring with half-lidded eyes with his hands in his pockets as he sang the next verse.

"Revolutionaries wait For my head of a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh, who would ever want to be king?"

The boys joined each other in the chorus, their backs to each other as they formed a small circle.

"I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world."

The wind blew through the trees, rustling the leaves as it sang its part, repeating through the boys' separated chorus.

Oooooh, oooooh, oooooh, oooooh, oooooh

"I heard Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing," Yusuke sang.

Be my mirror my sword and shield," Kuwabara sang.

"My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name," Kurama sang.

"Never an honest word," Hiei sang.

"But that was when I ruled the world." The boys sang together.

Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

They stood in silence for a moment, hanging their heads with their eyes closed. The wind blew through their hair, wrapping itself around them individually. They didn't know why, but they felt that something had ended.

"What're you guys doing?" Botan called from the large open gates of the fairground. "Are you guys coming or not?"

They exchanged small smiles with one another before walking towards the gates.
