Princess Krystal01- Yeah… it kinda is…

Bleubell- Good.  I am glad that you aren't cutting anymore.  Personally, I find Goths charming, considering someone called me that -_-; then there was that person today that thought I was going Ghetto… screw that!  I wanna be Gothic!

DragonBlade- Tee hee… me like the dark… *turns out the lights*

Night Fox Hiten- Hah hah, you gots words in your head, lol

Angelyna-kat- lol… I know I did Haunted… imagine if it makes a comback? Nah, sadly, I think it'd not be a good idea.  If it was, say, a LOTR fic I was doing, or a different anime or something, maybe I would've done Haunted again.  And it's Gomen Nasai, but nice try ^_^

Wanna feel better about your life?  I always go to bed hungry and don't have breakfast because there isn't any food to eat it.  And we aren't poor or anything.  My mom never shops.  And my dad started to think that I was making money for him… My mom almost forgot to pick me up and my mom always gets me to school by the skin of my teeth… so yeah… I got a lot more… I am just getting started…

amber-eyez- I really want to do I Hate You by Three Days Grace, but I have to hear the song a few more times… I will probably watch the music video on Saturday… it's on VH1 a lot… ^____^ So expect that song sooner or later (ooh! My Immortal is playing!)

Oh! Just so you guys know, My Immortal will probably not be a song here.  I am making a songfic with our fave 'Black-Haired Kurama Stereotype' in it ^_^;;

Wakajini no Shijo- At the rate I'm going, there will be A LOT of Evanescense songs.  And Goths rock!  Preps just scare me… ;  But why would I ignore you?  You were insane enough to review me! LOL!

mocha cocoa-  YOU MADE KURAMA A STRIPPER!  ALL HAIL! Anyways, thanks soooo much!  I love your fics!  I feel so happy!  Yay!

Gamgee X: The next song is Imaginary by Evanscense.  Wahoo.

Numb: I Can't Feel You There

Chapter III: Awakening (Imaginary, Evanscense)

***

~*I linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name*~

            Kurama curled in a ball, his black hair splashing across his body.  "Stop… Leave me alone…"

            The doctors found just enough of his blood type to give him a blood tranfussion.  He was just able to become conscious, however, he didn't want to.  He was being bombarded by voices.

            "Shuichi!"

            "Oh, Kurama!"

            "Fox-Boy!  Wake up!"

            "It's okay, Kurama! You can wake up now!"

            "…Kurama…"

            Kurama unwrapped himself.  "I know that voice…"

~*let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story*~

            The lace was tightly wrapped around him and he could barely move.  He tangled himself very bad.  The lace started to irritate his skin; it bit him and telling him a sad story, that voice he knew whispering to him.

            "Kurama… we're all worried… wake up."

~*in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me*~

            He got up, ripping the lace off his body.  He walked forward.  Whenever he felt hopeful, the room he lived in changed.

            It was covered in roses, they looked and smelled real, until you stepped on them.  They just crinkled like paper.  Soft lullabies would play, rocking him to a soft sleep and times.  He could never count how many times he just escaped the 'real world' and just felt like laying in his unconscious state.  A voice would always disturb him.  But when nothing did, he'd watch the constantly changing sky pass.

~*don't say I'm out of touch
with this rampant chaos - your reality*~

            "WAKE UP!"

            'No…' Kurama though. 'I am not sleeping!  I can hear you!'

            He shook his head. 'No!  I can't get sucked in!  This hell of a life is what started this!  I am awake, but I am not going to show it!'

~*I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare I built my own world to escape*~

            'I know what's going on!' Kurama screamed mentally.  'I AM NOT LEAVING HERE!  I MADE THIS PLACE TO ESCAPE THAT!'

            "…Kurama, onegai!"

            'No… my guilt won't take over… No!'

            All the voices… they were begging for him to awake… they were desperate…

            'They really want me awake…'

            He sighed.  He started to finger through his black hair.  'Can I…?'

~*in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me*~

            He ran forward and screamed.  He swung the heavy door open and kept screaming.  He felt tears pour down his cheeks.  "I'M AWAKE!  I'M AWAKE!"

~*swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights*~

            He regained consciousness and continued screaming.  "I'M AWAKE!  I'M AWAKE!"

            He cried and thrashed.  "I'M AWAKE NOW! STOP SCREAMING!"

            He opened his eyes and saw Hiei and started to feel dizzy.

~*oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light*~

            "Oh, Inari… my Goddess…" he murmured as he passed out.

            "Kurama!" Hiei ran over and tried to wake him.  "Kurama! Wake up!"

            Kurama just smiled.  "Give me no more…"

~*in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby

Well, do you see what Kurama was so happy about at the end?  Well, on that note, R&R!  Tomorrow I PROMISE an update from Magic of the Heart!  Maybe Kurama ½ as well!

Next Song:  Currently a toss-up Don't Let me Get Me by P!nk or Meant to Live by Switchfoot.  Please put your vote in the review!  Ja mata ne!
