Okay, it's time for chapter two! *is pelted with more random
inanimate objects* YES I KNOW THEY ARE ONLY TWO DAYS APART! sheesh! Well,
this chapter is dedicated to my friend Crystal, YOU ARE REALLY COOL! I
think her pen name is Crystal Jaganshi, but I could be wrong. All rules and
warnings for previous chapter apply.
Also, I want to thank my reviewers, YOU ARE THE TRUE INSPIRATION! I also welcome flamers with open arms, but you must have a good reason. People who flame for stupid reasons make themselves sound stupid.
HA! I drew Kenshin in a Miroku outfit! XD Anyway...I don't own anything (I don't own Yu-Yu Hakusho or any of the hot, HOT, FIREY RED HOT GUYS IN IT! T________T *glomps Toushin Yusuke*) so don't sue already, BAKA LAWYERS!
Also, I have seen several variations on how to spell Shuiichi. What way is correct?
This fic at one point will probably have THREE plots going at once, but they overlap, and are all somewhat related, and are caused by the same thing or person. INTERESTED?!? READ AND REVIEW PLZ!
Alllllriiiiiighty then, time for the Kurama chapter!

Mirrors of the Soul Chapter 2:
Kurama's Guilt, the Human Fox
~*~
Everyone thinks I'm so perfect,
the boy with no sin.
:
No pain,
no sorrow.
:
But I'm far from perfect,
the definition of monster.
:
A thief,
a killer,
:
I'm a demon,
an incarnation of evil.
(a/n: you can tell I wrote this during Bonds of Fire...*shrugs* NO OWN!)
:
I've stolen,
I've killed.
:
But you seem to take no notice of that,
but that's just because you don't know who I am.
:
I'm feared,
I'm hated,
:
yet you look at me with your smiling face,
and pangs of guilt travel down my spine.
:
If only you could see me,
in the light of the sickle moon,
or that of the full.
:
I've been lying all my life,
I've got everybody fooled.
:
You don't know me,
you never did.
:
What you see is not me.
I'm a murderer,
:
a robber,
a cutthroat.
:
This mask of kindness,
you see me as something I am not.
:
And I would not hesitate,
to return to my old ways,
:
Haunted by past loss,
past hatred.
:
I lay in the darkness,
my life nearly gone,
all of it slowly ebbing from my body.
:
and I smile,
I deserve to die,
for doing this to you.
:
Out of control,
my soul screams for salvation I cannot receive.
:
I reach out,
only to find everything gone.
:
I never deserved what I have,
so it does not matter.
:
Don't smile,
don't tell me it's all right.
:
My lust for blood may force me to harm you,
which to me is a mortal sin.
:
Please let me go,
please don't cry.
:
I do not deserve your tears,
or your love for that matter.
:
I never meant to hurt you,
even though I planned to leave you.
:
But I'm returning to everything,
to as it is meant to be.
:
I'm returning to the place
from whence I came.
:
I take my leave now,
for I do not belong in the world of the living.
:
It ends here for me tonight,
do not be pained by my exit.
:
It is better this way,
be happy when I'm gone.

Panting, Kurama sat up in bed. It was that dream again. The dream kept haunting him every night since the end of the Dark Tournament. (A/N: In this it has been two years, so Kurama is seventeen.) In the dream, he watched helplessly as Shiori scream and cower in fear, shrinking away from his Youko self in the kitchen. Then there was Shuiichi, the real Shuiichi. He had a frying pan, and was standing between Youko and Shiori. A look of pure terror and hatred was plastered on his gentle features.
"Who the hell are you?" Shiori's soft voice seemed to echo throughout the area.
"My name is Youko Kurama, your executioner," came a harsh reply that didn't even sound like Youko.
"Kurama, NO!" Shuiichi had screamed, banishing his frying pan. There was a bright flash of youki, and both the humans lay stone dead on the floor, bright flowers surrounding their bodies.
There was a tap on the windowpane. "Kurama?" Lazily, the redhead slid out of bed and opened his window.
"Hiei, it's three o'clock am. Go back to sleep." Without waiting to hear the jaganshi's reply, he shut the window and strode in the direction of the bathroom to wash his face. More like rinse. Drenched in water, he closed his eyes and let his energy settle itself; his mind was always disturbed when he hadn't gotten much sleep. How could he possibly sleep with these dreams haunting him? When Kurama looked up, however, he was startled by what he saw. He kept a plant in his bathroom, a spider plant it was known as, (this is a real plant, I can't spell the name, though) and this plant was no more than a mere houseplant, harmless. But somehow, in less than a minute, it had grown large enough to fill most of the bathroom, and the pot was shattered and laying in pieces all over the bathmat.
Kurama must've sat there staring at the plant for five whole minutes before he realized that it was moving. One of the tender long leaves was sliding up from the side of his face, and through his bangs.
As he stood in wonder and amazement at how the normal houseplant had grown to such a monstrous size, a single thought settled itself in the kitsune's mind.
This. was. not. normal.
~*~
Godrina: Kurama is freaked out! What in seven hells is going on? Who's confused? *raises hand* okaaaay, like I promised, here's review replies for all of you VERY NICE AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE who reviewed! *hands out Hiei plushies to everyone who reviewed* ^__^ Sorry if Kurama was a little OOC, stuff is happening that he's not used to, and about the window thing, do you want a fire demon making you open your window at three am? (all fangirls nod and swoon) Thought not.
Salebu: YOU THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING? YAY! ^________^ I feel special! Well, there's a second chapter for ya, sorry for making you wait.
Cheeto: I don't have to update if I don't want to, I hope you realize that. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it!
KuramaandHiei4ever: Here's the chapter you asked for! I actually was going to do the Yusuke one second, (Yusuke lovers boo) but hey, you ask, I deliver!
Tsukikage4: *waves* HI DANA! Thank you for the encouragement and putting me on your favorites list! *hugs computer* YOU COOL!
Kitsune of Light: HI LISA! You're awesome as usual. You and Dana are the only things between Mal and my sanity. ^^
DarkAnimeChick: Well, sorry for leaving you hanging like that, but like I said earlier this chapter, there's going to be three overlapping plots. Oh and THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ME ON YOUR FAVORITES LIST! *tear* I feel loved! Don't think it goes unnoticed! I might even write more of these style fics if I get enough reviews.
Crystal Jaganshi: SO THAT IS YOUR PENNAME! I was just checking. ^_^ Thanx for reviewing, and don't worry about Youko, he's got you haunting his dreams. *wink, wink* Anyway, YOU ROCK! The angst thing kinda...developed...*twitches* too much role playing. Oh, and Hiei says Hi.
Night Fox Hiten: ^______________^ it has potential! YAY! Now all I have to do is get the third plot introduction done and we'll have this story off the ground! After my OOC chappie, does it still have potential? I think it died...X_X like my brain-EVIL WRITER'S BLOCK!
