Reviews will always make fingers type faster
Thank you for reviewing.
To those who pay REALLY close attention: I borrowed a name from one Tamora Pierice's books. (Those who read them know what I'm talking about) the newer ones, the two circle series. Ok, so you don't have to pay much attention.
THE GRAND APPOLOGY: ya, I screwed up. Sorry that I did not update sooner but I was on the vacation from hell. (go to beach, water about 58-59 degrees the whole time, raining, thunder storming, tornados. And no internet access!! Real fun!) I will try to update more frequently from now on. I swear. Really! I mean it this time!
Swords and Roses Chapter Four,
Lyrics of the Heart
Kurama was fully prepared for the meeting. They would hold it in his room. People could sit on his bed or on the chairs. His desk, usually cluttered with books and papers, was now carpeted with chips, dip, and just about anything else that they would want. Now he only had to wait until everyone got there.
Yusuke came in first. That was no real surprise. They talked for a little bit about pointless things happening at school like who was performing in the talent show, which teacher was giving the hardest tests, and which lunch was going to have the biggest end-of-the-year food fight. They heard the door open and close. Both of them looked over to see Kuwabara walking towards the food-filled desk.
"Hey, Stupid, why don't you save those until everyone else gets here?"
"Shut up, Urimeshi!" Kuwabara said through a mouthful of chips.
"He does have a point, Kuwabara, it is rude to eat everything before everyone arrives. But then again, Hiei seems to think that snacks are poison seeing as how he avoids them."
"Speaking of him," Yusuke started "Where is he? He should be here by now."
"I am sure that he will come. He has come to every other meeting so far without anyone telling him about them."
"What were you saying about me?" Hiei asked, now suddenly standing in the doorway where everyone swore that he had not been just a moment before.
"Alright!" Yusuke said standing up. "Now let's start this meeting. Any new info on missions?"
"Five demons will break through the barrier at midnight tonight. They will be relatively weak except for one of them." Hiei announced as though he was just mentioning a well known fact. Everyone just stared at him. "The strongest one wants to be put back in jail because he practically rules it." Again, everyone stared at the normally silent fire demon.
"Well, at least this time we have a heads up so that we can clear our schedules, better than when Koemna tells us." Yusuke said jokingly.
"When did you learn this?" Kurama asked.
"A half hour ago. He told me."
"Who told you, shrimp?"
"The strong demon, stupid, who do you think?" as if anticipating Kuwabara's next question, Hiei continued. "Remember, he WANTS to be put in jail."
"Well that's just stupid, who would want to be in jail?"
"Sky Fire does because, as I said before, he practically rules it so everyone listens to him and does whatever he says. His only complaint is that the food tastes terrible."
"Psssst," a soft voice said from the window. "Psssst, Hiei, come here for a moment"
Hiei walked over to the window and the shadowy figure started whispering in his ear. Hiei nodded once or twice to let the figure know that he was, against his better judgment, still listening.
"That was Sky Fire. He apparently broke through unnoticed along with the five others that he had planned to bring along. He wants us to meet him in a hour to beat him up and put him in jail. He doesn't care what happens to anyone else."
"During that time, could you help me with something?" Kurama asked Hiei, who just nodded in agreement. "I have to figure out the lyrics to a song but I cant seem to write fast enough to get them all down, even though the song is not exceptionally fast. I figured that, because you are the fastest at everything else, you might be able to help me. But if you do not believe that you can do it…"
"I can do it, just watch."
Kurama gave him a piece of paper, a pencil and a cd player with the cd in it. Kurama played the song for him once before Hiei started to write it down. The second time it played, Hiei wrote every word down. They played it once more as Hiei went over his work to see if he had made any mistakes, he hadn't.
Kurama thanked him and looked over the lyrics.
There's a letter on the desk top
That I dug out of the drawer
The last truce we ever came to
In our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever
From the warm and through the street
You come regular like seasons
Shadowing my dreams
And the Mississippi is mighty
But it starts in Minnesota
At a place where you could
Walk across with five steps down
I guess that's how you started,
Like a pinprick to my heart
At that point you brushed right through me
And I started to dry
And theirs not enough room
in this world for my pain
signals cross and love gets lost
and time passed makes it plain
of all me demon spirits
I need you the most
In love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost
Dark and dangerous like a secret
It's whispered in a hush
when I wake the things I dreamt
About you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
And play your memory like a piper
And I feel it like a sickness
How this love is killing me
Still I'd walking into the fingers
Of your fire willingly
And I dance the airs of sanity,
I've never been this close
In love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost
Unknowing capture, never know how much you
Pierce my spirit that I can touch you
Can you hear it, I cry to be free
You were mine forever under lock and key
As you pass through me
Now is see your face before me
It would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like a kitten
With you always at my heels
And my bitter end's a swallow
Is silence, it's a secret that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim free
The river is too deep
So I'm baptized at your touch
I am all this and more
In love with your ghost
And you are…
Shadowing my dreams
I'm in love with your ghost
He had a plan for them. It was more than just a nice song to sing. It was meant for someone who, hopefully, would realize it and not reject him. Naturally, there were two words in it that would give it away, demon and fire. If Hiei had even paid attention to the song then he would have probably figured it out, not that he had paid attention. The line "As I burn up in your presence" could also help, but that was a whole line, not just one word.
The clock in Kurama's room struck, announcing that there was no longer any time to dwell on emotions, it was time to fight.
Do I have to go over the formula again, good, cause I wont.
If you have any advice, just say so and I'll be sure to listen to it.
Those are the words to the song, I swear it! They just fit so perfectly, don't they. Speaking of those lyrics, I don't own them either.
