Disclaimer-Yu-Yu Hakusho and the song aren't mine
Note-To ^_^: no, I'm not Hindu. That song is from Moulin Rogue. Singing in Hindi is part of that song.
I'm Jealous
Botan nervously put the microphone back on the stand. She had seen Yusuke, but she wasn't sure if he'd seen her. He could have gotten in after she started singing and not known it was her. Or he could've been drunk enough not to recognize her.
If I were the Moon, I could catch your eye
I'm jealous of the Moon
Botan walked off the stage. Maybe he had seen her. Maybe he had even liked it. Even though he was lost to her, she kind of hoped he had liked it.
If I were the wind, I could make you fly
I'm jealous of that, too
Botan walked out the door, and unbeknownst to her, Yusuke walked behind her. She had made it 20 feet out of the Karaoke bar when Yusuke called to her.
"Hey, Botan!"
Botan turned, and her heart did a flip-flop. Even now, he was still handsome to her. Her hands itched to reach forward and touch his face, but she clasped them together and held them in front of her.
I wish I were the sun shining on your face
Caressing like a lover
I would wrap you up in a warm embrace
We'd be holding one another
(Jealous of the sun
I'm jealous of the sun
Jealous of the sun
I'm jealous of the sun)
"Hey, Yusuke," she replied. "What's up?"
"Opposite of down."
Botan chuckled as Yusuke walked towards her. "Your humor kills me, Yusuke." 'Keiko's so lucky,' Botan thought. 'She's got Yusuke. Lucky girl.'
I don't wanna share you with nothing else
I gotta have you to myself
I can't help it; I'm so in love
I just can't get you close enough
Yusuke cleared his throat and looked up. "Nice weather," he said uncomfortably.
'Christ. Even the weather comes before me,' Botan thought. "Yes, it is."
When the sun's on your skin
I can't hold it in
And I know it's a sin
But I'm jealous of the sun
"At least it ain't raining," Yusuke said.
"I like the rain," Botan said. "It makes things a little more intimidating…which make things more romantic when you're with your special someone."
I wish I were the rain running down your neck
And dripping from your fingers
Then I could be the drops rolling off your back
I love to let it linger
(Jealous of the rain
I'm jealous of the rain)
"Speaking of special someones," Botan continued. "How's Keiko?"
"She's fine," Yusuke said, "but she's no longer the significant other."
"Are…are you SERIOUS?!" Botan yelped.
"She called me earlier and said she wanted to break things off permanently."
"Oh my God," Botan said. This was the best thing that could've happened to her, but she was still sad. It pained Yusuke, and anything that hurt Yusuke hurt her. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Yusuke said, shrugging. "But I wanna know what you think. And I want the truth, Botan. I remember what happened a while back."
Botan opened her mouth, then closed it, and opened it again. "It…it hurts me that you hurt. But I'm a little happy at the same time. I meant every word I said, Yusuke. I really do love you."
Yusuke nodded. "That's what I thought you'd say."
I don't wanna share you with nothing else
I gotta have you to myself
I can't help it; I'm so in love
I just can't get you close enough
Botan looked up. Black clouds were replacing the setting sun. "It's going to rain."
"Do you think it would work?"
"What?" Botan looked at him.
"You and me. Do you think it would work?"
"I…I would hope so. If you and I were together, I think we'd make it work."
The first droplet of rain hit her face. "We should get out of the rain."
"It doesn't matter. I'm tough, and it doesn't affect you."
"True."
When it rains on your face
I almost can taste
Your beauty, your grace
I'm jealous of the rain
The rain began to fall even harder. The wind blew fiercely, but their stances were unwavering.
"Come on, Yusuke," Botan said. "Let's go to your place and talk about us."
"Good idea."
Botan conjured up her oar and got on it, immediately becoming invisible. Yusuke went forward and grabbed hold of the oar, becoming invisible, as well.
Botan took off for Yusuke's house. Neither of them talked. At one point, Botan looked back to see the wind blowing through Yusuke's hair. She relaxed and enjoyed the view.
When the wind's in your hair
The way it blow through the air
It seems so unfair
"There's the Moon," Yusuke said, pointing to the white orb in the sky. "It's beautiful."
"Yes, it is," Botan said distractedly, and pressed onward to Yusuke's house.
When the moon's in your eyes
You seem to light up the skies
And I realize
I'm even jealous of the Moon
