Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Dedicated, as always, to Angelkitsune.
Warning: This is a shounen-ai love triangle (HieiKuramaTouya). Rated for violence ONLY. Sorry folks…if you want the really explicit stuff, you won't be finding it here.
I don't know where the idea came from, but I've been wanting to do a songfic to Novacaine by Green Day for a while. Unable to figure out a one-shot, I'll be writing a chaptered story told in Kurama's POV. I used Novacaine for this prologue chapter, and I'm not sure if I'll be using other songs for the other chapters or not. Please enjoy and review!

Take away the sensation inside
"Hiei?"
The fire demon looked back at me from his position on the windowsill.
Bittersweet migraine in my head
It was raining that night, and I knew the warehouse leaked horribly. Hiei didn't have much tolerance for water.
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
So, I let him stay with me. How could I not? It was nothing unusual, for he stayed with me often enough, even in wonderful weather.
I can't take this feeling anymore
Still, this time it was different. This time it wasn't about sweet words and tender kisses. This time...this time I would tell him the truth.
Drain the pressure from the swelling
"What is it, kitsune?" he asked.
His voice...it still sent chills up my spine.
The sensation's overwhelming
I forced myself to look him in the eye. "Hiei...why do you love me?"
Give me a long kiss goodnight
His beautiful ruby eyes expressed confusion at my question.
"You must have a reason," I pressed. "Please...tell me why."
And everything will be alright
He smiled, a feature that too few times graced his face. "Having doubts, are we?"
I looked away. "No, I...I just wanted..."
His sweet lips found their way onto mine and his strong arms locked around my body. I hadn't even noticed him move to the bed.
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
"I love you because..." he said, breaking away from my lips and kissing the base of my neck. I couldn't help but shudder at his touch. He felt it and was encouraged.
"...you're the most beautiful creature..."
Now he was steadily working his way up the side of my neck.
"...to walk the Three Worlds."
Give me Novacaine
He stopped to nibble my earlobe with his demon fangs.
"I love you because you're the first person to ever care for me...the Forbidden Child of the Koorime."
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
A small moan escaped my lips as he gently scraped my skin with his teeth. That was all he needed to hear.
I get the funny feeling and that's alright
Jimmy says it's better than here
I lightly gasped as he pushed against me, lowering me onto my back.
Drain the pressure from the swelling
The sensation's overwhelming
I mentally kicked myself for getting caught in the moment...again. This wasn't right. I didn't belong with him.
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing
And yet...I could not bring myself to shove him away.
Give me Novacaine
