Okies, this one is actually a songfic again. It's very, very OLD though. Like back when I first started writing old. Uh, that's about it. this is sort of a good introduction to Lethe... (not really, but hey).
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I got dosed by you
Closer then most to you
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away, I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be ok
Hiei sat on the edge of the cliff, his back to the setting sun and his eyes fixed on one particular spot a few feet down. The only thing particularly unusual about that spot was the fact that not a single blade of grass grew there, only a single blood red rose without thorns. A stark reminder of the demon female he had taken as a lover.
In you
A star is born
You cut a perfect form
Someone forever warm
Hiei could recall vividly the events that had led to that rose blooming. It was the marker for the spot where Lethe died about 6 months ago. He had come out here every single day since then, he did not see it as holding himself back, or even grieving. It was simply a gesture. A gesture to show that he still considered Lethe his mate and he knew he would never take another to replace her even if koorimes' did not mate for life.
Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
Hiei could vaguely remember a promise he had made her when they had first become lovers. He had promised that under no circumstances would he ever lie to her. And Hiei had asked a promise of her that he had promised to keep himself. To stay with him forever and she had flashed a rare smile and agreed. After that, the two of them always ended the day in each others' arms.
Show love with no remorse
Climb unto your seahorse
This ride is right on course
This is the way I wanted it to be with you
This is the way I knew that it would be with you
Hiei had never suspected that he and Lethe would ever really become lovers, neither of them were very good at expressing their emotions. Surprisingly, Lethe had told him though. She had said it very calmly and matter-of-fact, and he'd discovered later that it was in her code to be honest unless she felt it would put her in danger. It had.
Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
The rose reminded Hiei of Lethe's blood as it had spilled over that exact spot. She had died protecting him, and the last two things she had ever said to him echoed in his head every time he looked at that rose.
I'll be back when the red rose dies.
I love you.
I got dosed by you
Closer then most to you
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away, I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be ok
Hiei sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He missed her; with every fiber of his being he missed her.
"Feel like coming back?" he whispered to the wind. As if in reply it teasing swirled on his cheek.
Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
Yes Hiei's eyes widened as Lethe appeared in front of him. She slumped to her
knees and wrapped her arms around his neck. Hiei lovingly returned her
embrace.
"Welcome home."
"Home is where you are."
"Exactly."
