Yu Yu Hakusho:
Tasogare ni Se wo Mukete
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ah... machikado nagareru hitonami ni ima sakarau you ni

~*~*~*~*~*~
It was one of those days, usually each day, which I get pissed off at Mukuro. It's bad for me to defy one of the great Makai rulers. But I'm tired of listening to her as if I had nothing better to do! Just today, she told me to survey the territory and then to later accompany her to Yomi's. As if I wanted to see the six-eared freak in the first place.
So instead, I walk off. I wonder if she noticed. Perhaps. I do this almost each day. But she doesn't mind. Not yet anyway. Oh well.
Now I'm walking through the streets of her land. Demons of all kinds are shoving past, talking with each other. But I am alone, no one talks to me. But I'm glad for that. There is no one in Makai intelligent enough to talk to anyway. Maybe except Yusuke. He's okay.
One demon pushed me and yelled at me in the Makai tongue. I grunt back at him, "Screw you!" He stares at me confused. I love seeing that face. I'm very pissed so I wack him. His head falls and I feel much better. The Ningen tongue has grown on me.because of Kurama.
~*~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~*~
Hm, Kurama. Ah, I remember now. He's the damn human who never stopped smiling for us. At least, almost never stopped smiling. When I left him, his mouth jerked down and tears welled. Like I said, I love that look. I'm no heartless bastard, but I'm no mushy person like Kurama.
You know, I actually cannot remember that smile he gave me each day. I forgot him long ago. My heart is ice again.
That's a good thing.

~*~*~*~*~*~
Perhaps he thinks that we're still friends. Yeah, we had those times. We talked, ate together, had sad times, maybe chuckled a bit. But that's gone now. My life is all fighting and blood. There's no fun for me.
I don't miss that fun.
All right, maybe the talking was comforting. So his cooking was good. The laughter was kind of funny. We were a bit concerned. What am I saying?
I'm starting to miss it.miss Kurama.
I'll get over it. Just like when I first left.

The clouds are moving. The sun's sinking. I look up. I have walked to a plain covered by rose bushes. Damn path. Now I have to be reminded of him. Even if Mukuro does let me take off, I'll still have to go with her to Yomi's. That means I better cool off.
Kurama used to help me calm down. I don't mean he used some weird physics stuff. I mean HE calmed me down. Just being there with me. So, I'll think about him before I run back to Mukuro and have her yell at me.
Let's see.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ah... dareka no yasashisa ni omowazu
kooeta kimochi ga

hitomi toji tada tsubuyaku

niawanai yo to
~*~*~*~*~*~
I remember the day I left. It's so clear now. It smelled like this exactly, like the damn rosebushes. I hate being so poetic, but it's eerie. The day had started with him coming back from school. Kurama had a bunch of books on his desk when I came in through the window.
He smiled at me. I grunted. That's how it is with the two of us. No, that's how it used to be.
He was talking to me, still grinning like an idiot. When he finally stopped for me to answer a question about sweet snow, I told him:
"I'm leaving, don't contact me.again." He stared and was speechless. "Leave my memories behind.I don't want to remember you, I don't want you to remember me. Forget me."
Then I left.
But he was so gentle; no one was like that to me. The girls were all afraid of me. Except Yukina, of course. All the others treated me like trash or some kind of heartless youkai.
Hn. I'm not worthy of love or gentleness. That was proven a few hundred of years ago. Then.why? Why, Kurama?
~*~*~*~*~*~
Never give up yume dake wo

~*~*~*~*~*~
But it's not like I want any of those human traits anyway. All I need are my strategic skills, my Kokuruyuha, my blade, and good shelter. That is the only reason I am cooperating with that bitch Mukuro.
Being kind will not help me slay demons. It will not help me dominate.
It's a weakness.
And that's all.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Never give up ate mo naku

Lonely Way
~*~*~*~*~*~
All the demons in Makai are like that. We all want to become a powerful dictator. So I cannot help but say this: I do not need Kurama.
I'm turning my back on him.
I have only my destiny. Fate has brought me this. I must walk toward the path whose light at the end of the tunnel shines only for me. So no more foxes. No more baka kitsune.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Never give up kanashimi ni

~*~*~*~*~*~
Yomi's palace is so extremely dull. I'm bored. I don't care for some strange anniversary about some stupid great-great-grandfather guy who I never heard of.
Yomi comes up to me, seeing I'm so bored leaning against his curtains, I guess. "Hiei," he says with mirth, "Please, join me for a drink."
"No," I reply simply. He's not worth my breath.
"'Kay. So.seen Kurama lately?" Yomi grinned. I ignore him. Was he some kind of mind-reader? "I know where he is, he's here."
"Where?" I ask, trying to sound uninterested.
"In my bed," he answers.
"Really," I say, hiding my surprise and shock.
"Actually, I'm kidding." Yomi smirked.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Never give up kaze no naka

~*~*~*~*~*~
I walk away and he waves. Brainless git. He will never understand: I don't care for Kurama anymore! He's gone, out of my life.
I am only in life for the pleasure of cruelty and blood. I suppose I'm becoming what Kurama wanted me to never become. But who cares! Baka kitsune.
I walk outside, trying to get away from all the idiotic people. As I walk to the door, Yusuke comes from nowhere, holding a glass of sake and smacking me on the back. "'lo Hiei!" he says rather drunk. "How ya doin'? I've just been, you know, busy lately and.woo." He fell.
I sigh and pick him up and lie him against the walls. It's the least I can do for someone like Yusuke. He's a good kid, sometimes. But I don't want him dying when I haven't beat him in a fight yet. Then I go to the door.
It's cool outside: just like how I'm feeling. I shut my eyes. Then I let out a large breath of air. I turn sideways. And I open my eyes again.
There was some ruby red, emerald green before me.
Damn roses! They appear everywhere! They remind me of.Kurama. Still, after a whole month. Wow.
I want to rip them out and burn them until there are none left.
But I can't.
Perhaps because.they are a reminiscent of that stupid fox.
.of Kurama.

Well, there's the sequel. Sorry if it contains almost no feelings of Hiei to Kurama, but I tried to keep him in character. VERY in character. :) Hiei didn't run off to Mukuro 'cause he loved her. YUCK! It's just for the, well, didn't you read the story already?
Want another chapter? REVIEW! And, uh, suggestions? I don't want to make it too mushy when they do meet again in *THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS!* hint, hint
One more thing, if you see a title called "So We Meet Again", that might be this. And (wow, so many ands!) please read my other titles and tell me which of my Yu Yu Hakusho stories I should continue most. Sankyuu!
