Hey, guys! Finally, an update! Sorry, but I've been going through what you could call a 'lazy streak' lately. It's not writer's block, but it is also something some authors go through that could make updates a lot more rare. That has happened to me before, and it has made my fics of those days officially 'never completed'. But I'll make sure that doesn't happen again. Just don't expect me to update my other fics every week, as I used to. But I will do my best to update this one each week. Anyways, here ya go!

Two Lives-Kurama's POV on his life

I was always clever in my endeavors

Betting and throwing lives away

I was stealing, and then dealing

And there was no one place I could stay

I loved killing and spilling

The blood of beings with my hands

Lying and spying, despising

There was so much more I could stand

Yet there were dangerous stakes

And I made a careless mistake

Throwing my past life forever

Behind me.

Living in a world of feeling

And kneeling to the laws of love

Changed me in a way

That can only be answered by the laws above

So now I see things in a light

That showed how dark my other life

Had once been.

Showing that I can never make amends

With these tainted hands—

And though these hands can now make a rose

I've been in darkness that only Kami knows

And I'll survive, try to show the world

That I'm alive

And these eyes do show two lives

And I'll protect the innocent

From the maliciousness inside—

I promise I'll try…

Yay, I finally did a Kurama poem for all of his loyal fans! One being myself Well, next to Hiei of course. Like always, I need only a couple of reviews to continue. That said, come back next week and LOL!
