**~~**~~ Still don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. I only kidnapped Hiei and he's *still* here and he doesn't want to escape anymore! Despite what he says! I too am a mind reader and have been reading his thoughts! "You ningen. No wonder you stopped tying me up! Stop reading my thoughts!" Hahaha, no!~~**~~**

Poetically Speaking
Point of view: Hiei

Kuramas voice is so gentle and relaxed as he asks me which one I want him to read to me. Truth is I have been having difficulty reading them. I only read few of them while he was away at school.

"That one"

I point to a rather short one and close my eyes as he starts to read it. His voice is so soothing and calm it makes me relaxed.

"When the ocean is calm, And the sky is blue. I'll look above, And think of you.

When the sun is shining, Or when the rain pours. I want you to know, I love you more.

When birds sing, Or cows moo. I'll look above, And think of you.

When people cheer, And crowds roar. I want you to know, I love you more.

I look above and think of you, And after hard days and closed doors. I want you to know, My love will always grow.

That was an earlier one that I wrote a long time ago"

I nod my head and point at another and he starts to read again. I start asking myself questions. How long has he loved me? Probably not as long as I have loved him. The moment I set eyes on him, I felt something tug at my heart and later on, I recognized it was love.

I thought he would never love me; no one could ever love the forbidden child. I used to think it was not possible but here I was. Being loved by Kurama. I notice his voice stop and I just keep my eyes closed not bothering to point at another poem. I do not need to hear anymore, I know he loved me and that was enough. He cuddles closer to me and I wrap my arm around him.

"How long have you loved me?" I murmur "From the moment I saw you" "Truthfully?" "Yes. Something kept tugging at my heart after that and I knew it was love" "Hn" "Do you love me?" "Hn. You know the answer to that" "I do?" "Yes" "You love me?" "Yes stupid fox" "I will always love you Hiei" "I know"

I think that will be unlikely. He is a Yoko after all and Yokos are known for having sex toys. Maybe I was just a sex toy, a temporary playmate. My heart tells me otherwise. It is telling me that he does not lie and that he will love me forever as he says he will. I go with my heart on this one and push all other thoughts out of my head.

I listen to him breath and he has soon fallen asleep in my arms. I let him go and lay him on the bed and cover him with some blankets. I pick up the poems and put the back in the drawer where I found them and pick up my katana off the floor and leave. He will wake up in a few hours and wonder where I am but he knows I will come back. I always do after a while. I always come back to him.
