'Trust a human.

Hn.

Never.

A rule I have lived by,

And I have not limited it to merely humans,

For I trust no demon either.

Yet, this human, Yusuke...

Why is he so different?'

You had something to hide

Should have hidden it, shouldn't you

Now you're not satisfied

With what you're being put through

'He is weak.

Friends are weaknesses.

The 'baka' knows this.

Yet, he continually places them and himself in danger

His enemies will always use his family and friends against him.'

It's just time to pay the price

For not listening to advice

And deciding in your youth

On the policy of truth

'I asked Kurama what attracts him to humans.

He should know, as he has lived with them.

I also see this as a weakness in him.

His human mother has been a source of confusion for him.

I tell him this and he laughs.

A strange sound, but one I am growing accustomed to.'

Things could be so different now

It used to be so civilized

You will always wonder how

It could have been if you'd only lied

'He answers my question with a question.

I hate it when the fox is trying to 'kid" me;

He can be so annoying.

I catch an odd phrase and make him repeat it:

"For humans, having loved ones and friends is not a weakness

It makes you stronger."

It's too late to change events

It's time to face the consequence

For delivering the proof

In the policy of truth

Silly kitsune. Count on him to be so illogical and cryptic.

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

I don't need to place my trust in the human.

I barely even 'trust' the fox.

I don't need 'friends'

Now you're standing there tongue tied

You'd better learn your lesson well

Hide what you have to hide

And tell what you have to tell

Kurama is speaking again...

He says I don't know my own feelings.

Bah!

Feelings are stupid human emotions!

Weaknesses!'

He sighs.

That is another strange sound he makes.

"Hiei..."

I look at him.

"You'll only suffer more when you deny them.

It doesn't matter whether you need friends;

It's whether or not you actually want them."

You'll see your problems multiplied

If you continually decide

To faithfully pursue

The policy of truth

I don't need this from him!

It has been a long time since I have chosen my path.

Irregardless of the consequences then and now

And knowing my intent and 'feelings,'

They cannot change

They should not change.

And certainly not because of a human,

Or even Kurama.

...

..

.

Trust a human...

Hn.

...

..

.

Never.'

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

I suddenly get an odd feeling.

What is it?

Like a cold shiver.

I felt it once before

...

..

.

When Yusuke fought Susaku.

Hn.

That human...

...

..

.

What is he doing now?

...

..

.

"Where's Yusuke?" I ask.

"Hm?" Kurama looks at me with a grin.

"Why do you want to know?"

...

..

.

Hn.

What a suspicious fox.
