Chapter four of A Tribute. This one's to Kurama.
I labeled the characters as "ours" because as we write about them, we don't mean to, but we mold them. In no way do I own the characters, I am just saying "ours" to the characters we have created based off of the Togashi-sensei's.
A Tribute
OUR KURAMAS
It was his double sided soul that called to us, lured us to wanting to know his secrets. It was his gentleman manner and by-the-book rules that led us to him. It was his surprisingly cold fighting style that left us to wonder. We fought by his side with pens and computers and dreams. Fighting with him, for him, til all we could think and breathe was him: half demon, half human.
He came to us, seemingly content with his new life but we knew, deep down, he was not happy with his past. He was the famed theif and bandit for years. But we still gave him school work and fangirl problems to deal with.
Always polite and chivalrous, thinking of others first wasn't enough. We told him to bear pain and every method of torture to the first person who showed him love and forgived him, his mother, Our Shioris. Sometimes he was rejected for his past by her and what his youko soul did to her unborn child, other times lovingly accepted for saving a dying embryo. We found all ways to do this adding scar upon scar, wound upon wound--just because.
We never got tired of his wise advice and always craved for the rare embarassed expression. We teased him about his pink-oh, excuse me, 'magenta'-outfit and laughed when he proclaimed with a blush it was the school uniform. Yet we loved him for it. But it was probably because of it.
We made his past come to haunt him, disrupting the peaceful life he tried to live. We gave his old friends-now enmies to judge. We gave him bamboo and all the memories of pain. We made him question his life and moral code.
We waited in silence and anticipation for his emerald eyes to swirl with gold, because we wanted to see the cold thief in our warm fox-boy. Then when we thought thecold heart wouldbeheld from our reachforever we pulled it backdelighting inour ability to save the warm soul with the thief long forgotten.
He took us on travels to heal his past and showed us his unmatched 'flower power'. He shielded us from demons who dared to kill us. He gave us life lessons and wise thoughts we would treasure. In the end we gave him back his mother, a family, friends, and sometimes a loverat the end of the day.
We gave him us. We meant to steal him, but he stole us.
Thanks fox.
That's all I have. I don't know if I'll write another, these are my favorite characters so it came easier to write them. If I do write another it would be Kuwabara, maybe Keiko or Yukina, maybe Shiori. Hmmm... desicions, desicions... But! My oneechan wrotea tributeto all anime/manga in general. Right now its about 4 pages long and it might be a bit before she lets me post it. But I wanna get it up. Its really awesome and I'm really excited!
Ja ne for now!
