Disclaimer: I want Togashi's number. Why? 'Cause I don't own YYH. But I want to. So I want to call Togashi until he (he? she?) gives it to me. NOW!

The Trial:

Anything But Death

No.

No.

I don't deserve

This.

No.

You don't

Understand.

Never will.

I don't deserve

This-
This mercy.

He forgave me,

With the last

Of his life

And

That's the difference

Between us.

So

Go ahead.

Anything

But death.

Let me live,

A pariah,

Hated,

And then suffer

Eternal torture

Like what's-his-name.

Prometheus.

Anything but death.

I don't deserve it.

Death

Is

A

Mercy.

Notes: Odd, yes? Well, you didn't expect Hiei to take murdering his friend lightly, did you? You didn't really expect for him to commit suicide, did you? I think that it would take a lot of guts for him to actually go up to Koenma and ask for that kind of punishment. Sure, he could've killed himself and then asked for the same type of punishment as Toguro, with eternity in Limbo (I think that's right- or was it something else?). But wouldn't it be worse if he had to live his life and then also go to Limbo? So now that I've made my point, you have to make yours. I need input. Lots of it. And now I'll post the final chapter of the poem-story.
