"Hiei's Lament"
By: Suzaku no Miko
Disclaimers: I own nothing of YYH. The only thing I own is this poem.
Summary: What if Kuwabara were to die? Would all of the remaining members
of Reikai Tantei grieve? It's certain for two of the three that are
left...but what about a certain fire/ice demon?
===========================
There are those who are intelligent
And then...
There are the fools...
The soldiers that know their tactics of fighting and surviving will live
They live to continue fighting for another time...
Those that rush in without thinking and realizing what they are doing
Are not always so lucky...
He disappeared during the night without a trace
The morning sun shone onto the empty bed
And we became aware
That baka ningen was nowhere in sight
The detective searched all around
Kitsune used telepathy but received no response
I used my Jagan eye but could find nothing
It was then that the red-haired fox suggested asking someone who knows all
We approached the dark prince but he could only shake his head
He pointed us in one direction that we could go
As we walked to our destination, I had this unsettling feeling
My youkai partner knew something was wrong
I noticed his glances every now and then
But nothing was said...
The other only walked ahead of us with his head held low
It seems that everyone knew
What we found... How we confirmed our guesses were correct...
The one known as Yusuke cried in pain, bending over him
Kurama looked towards the floor in silence
Without a word, I only clenched my fist
A day has passed since the burial...
What was this feeling that I had?
What made me want to yell out at the world?
What was it that was forcing me to unsheathe my blade and kill?
I wanted to destroy everything...
If only I had been there...
He knew how weak he was and could not handle a strong youkai on his own
If I had been there... The outcome would have been very different...
And now to see her...
Yukina...
She loved the fool, by a reason I still could not understand...
To see her cry, calling his name over and over
As much as I did not want to admit it, he did do something right...
He never let her cry on purpose
That idiot...
What is this?
Why are my eyes watering...?
What is this traveling down my cheeks?
I place my hands on my face and feel the warm water
But I can't hold them back...
I can't stop them...
Neither the pain... Nor the tears...
