A Meeting of Anger, Sorrow and Love
By Silverwolf 2003
Sequel to A Past that Haunts
Hiei walks with Ryo to the portals.
Hiei: It would help if you could blend in.
Ryo shifts to human form. Her son repeats her actions. Ryo's gold hair is now black and her hazel eyes are now deep brown.
Ryo: My human identity is Kaiyo. His identity is Yukio.
Hiei eyes the redheaded child as he blinks his green eyes. He still can't quite deal with the child looking so much like Kurama.
Toshi: Mom, where are we going?
Ryo: We're going to see your father.
Hiei takes the pair with him to Kurama's house. Kohana sits along the porch. Ryo and Kohana greet each other. Toshi sits along the porch. Kohana smiles towards the child. Toshi shyly returns the smile. Hiei and Kohana take the pair into the house. Ryo carries her son up the stairs to the hall. Hiei and Kohana enter Kurama's room. Ryo doesn't follow. Her eyes are on Kurama as he sits wearing a pair of faded jeans that threaten to slide too low for comfort. Holes are torn into them exposing the skin at his hips and even a poison ivy leaf tattoo can be seen through the shreds of material. Ryo looks at his shirt, which hangs off of his right shoulder exposing a rose tattoo. His eyes are half closed until he sees her.
(Until it sleeps)
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run, but it stays right my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once, and now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
*It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps**
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
*--** Repeat
I don't want it
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean.
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps.
Until it sleeps.
Hiei: Kurama, you want to share something.
Kurama shakes his head.
Hiei (looking towards the door): Last chance.
Kohana brings Ryo and Toshi into Kurama's room. Ryo lowers her head until she sees Shiraz.
Ryo: Baby, who is she?
Shiraz (looking at Ryo): Who the hell are you?
Kurama sits watching. Hiei takes Toshi from the room. He chooses to take the child outside away from the fight. Kohana soon joins them followed by Yusuke and Kuwabara. Hiei concentrates on keeping the young fox happy.
Round One
Shiraz shifts to her demon form. Ryo does the same. Kurama shifts to demon form just in case this leads to a fistfight.
Ryo: Baby, I can see why you want her, but you know she ain't me. She can't even keep your attention like me.
Ryo steps close to Kurama. She places he hand along the side of his face.
She leans in close.
Ryo: Do you know how much I missed you? You said you would always be with
me. I mean look at her and look at me. You and I both know you wanted me
before you even dealt with that bitch.
Shiraz: Look here bitch! I'll be the reason you don't see him anymore!
Take your ass somewhere before I kick it!
Ryo (stepping behind Kurama): We know I had you satisfied. I bet she
didn't even come close.
Shiraz glares at Ryo.
Ryo: Even I know that when we were younger I was your desire. I ran with
the gang and even murdered with you. What did this little girl do?
Nothing. She couldn't even leave home for you. What was it you probably
told her? You didn't want her hurt. You it really was that you didn't
want her to know about me. You liked me belonging to you. You didn't need
some child to play games with. You wanted a real woman who had the
ability to take care of herself. I've cared for you. I even raised your
child. What did the child ever do, provide you with a little bit of
entertainment? You know I was always better than the rest of your lovers.
And unlike them I actually give a damn about you. That's why I'm still
alive.
Shiraz: Your nothing but a bitch. You think you can walk up in here and
take what's mine. He's been mine for two years. You know if he really
loved you he would have stayed in Spirit World with you. He returned with
me.
Ryo: He returned because of his mother and sister. You were never part of
that decision.
Shiraz (turning towards Kurama): You love me, don't you?
Ryo (voice low): You know you still love me, don't you? That's why when
you saw me your eyes widened. Come on baby we don't even have to deal
with the girl. She's just a childish whiny thing anyway.
Kurama looks towards Shiraz. He then allows his eyes to lock with Ryo.
Kurama: You are one to talk. You live in a temple where humans worship
you like a goddess. You're no goddess. You're a demon plain and simple.
You will never be anything more.
Ryo: You're one to talk. You've killed just as much as I have. You even
enjoyed it. You can't change your nature.
Kurama: You evil bitch!
Ryo: Coming from you that's a compliment. You were right there at my side
every time I killed. You're a vain creature who thrives on his own
beauty. You used your beauty to kill so many and I'm a bitch. Even you
know the reason you stand so close to me is that you still love me.
There's no denying it anymore.
Kurama: Just because I found you attractive before doesn't mean you are
now. I no longer want anything to do with you.
Ryo: Then why do you step closer each time you speak. I can see it in
your beautiful golden eyes. Stop trying to fight me.
Kurama turns toward Shiraz again.
Ryo: That's right! Try to keep her in your mind so that I don't take
over. Tell me something Kurama, do you not love me anymore?
Kurama: I can't answer that. I'm sorry there isn't a way to answer that.
Shiraz: Kurama, don't let her win. Do what you want.
Kurama stands confused. He isn't sure what he wants. One female speaks of him as property to be claimed; the other demands his love.
Ryo: Stay out of this child. This is between him and I.
Shiraz: I'm not continuing this.
As she leaves Kurama doesn't chase after her. He doesn't even regard Ryo's presence as he walks past her. He walks out of the house after Shiraz leaves. Kurama walks past everyone until he reaches Kohana. Kohana stands holding Toshi. He takes Toshi from Kohana but doesn't allow his sister to leave.
Kurama: You are what matters here. Both of you.
Kurama watches Hiei step near and then back away slowly.
Kurama: It's okay Hiei. You've become part of my family also.
Through the pain and sorrow one-thing rings like a bell through his heart he does still love Ryo. This is the reason he couldn't answer a simple question. Kurama takes Toshi and his sister back into the house. He nods for Hiei to follow. As he reaches the top of the stairs he can hear the sorrowful cries of Ryo. He steps into the room not knowing how she will react.
Kurama: I do love you Ryo. But right now I need time. My heart belongs to you, but not your ways. Ryo, please don't forget me, but do go home.
Kurama watches as Ryo leaves with his son. He is still confused about everything. His feel as if it's time to give up on everything until Toshi smiles towards him.
(You Can't Take Me)
Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night
Get it out - check it out
I'm on my way and I don't feel right
I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact
It's OK - I'll find a way
You ain't gonna take me down no way
Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
Don't push me - I'll fight it
Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride
You can't come uninvited
Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no
You can't take me I'm free
Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on
And what's this holding me?
I'm not where I supposed to be
I gotta fight another fight
I gotta fight will all my might
I'm getting out , so check it out
Ya, you're in my way
So you better watch out
See ya next time love brings suffering
