~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stranded is from Heart from the album, Brigade, 1990 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You're staying?" Kurama asked the silent fire demon. "Hn." Hiei shifted on his feet a little uneasily. Kurama bent his head and tightened his hold on his backpack. "Then I'm setting you free." The youko murmured huskily, looking morosely at the fire youkai. Hiei gazed coldly back at the redhead. Kurama merely smiled dully and opened a portal back to the ningenkai, to the world he had learned to love. The fire youkai watched the weakened barrier disappeared before flitting away to the world that welcomed him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Standing here helpless Where do I go If you leave me alone Where do I turn now If it don't work out As far as I can see This isn't the way you said it would be... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The fire demon leaped agilely from tree to tree, looking back at the fast darkening skies. Mukuro would expect him to report to her the next day. The fire youkai stood against a giant makai tree and eyed the empty, murky skies. He sat down tiredly, arms wrapped around his knees. Kurama had refused to go with him. The fire demon's ruby eyes blinked rough hands carelessly wiped away the trail of red wetness on his cheeks. He bit his cloak and muffled the sobs on his throat. "Do you think I wanted this?" He asked harshly to the empty air, thoughts bring him back to the time he had the youko in his arms, nights of endless passion and moments of irrefutable love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wasn't it you who brought me here To the place lovers go Just look at these arms Reaching out to you You said that you'd always care I just turned around and there's nobody there ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kurama shifted restlessly on his bed. The redhead was thinking of Hiei. The youko finally stood up and stared outside his widow. The moon was shining brightly tonight. He recalled the many nights the moon bore witness to their love, now all gone, turned into mere ashes. He missed the fire demon so much.... The redhead bit his lips to control the stinging tears. Hiei had left him finally in his own free will. He had to let him go. He would never want to burn Hiei's wings or extinguish his free spirit. He wanted the best for his love. He had tried his best to win the youkai's heart, lure him in the ningenkai and into his arms forever. In the end Hiei had chosen the makai over him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't leave me like this Don't leave me stranded If you walk away now You leave me empty handed Don't leave me like this Don't leave me stranded Don't leave me now Don't leave me... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kurama leaped briskly from atop several buildings. He couldn't sleep. He had to get out of his room or go crazy thinking over the fire demon. He almost missed his jump when he sensed a flicker of familiar ki. The youko's emerald eyes shone with disbelief and then with renewed determination, he gracefully jumped the few remaining buildings. --------------- Hiei confusedly expanded his senses. Were his faculties playing with him? He could feel Kurama's ki everywhere. "Hiei!" The fire youkai closed his eyes. That voice. How he craved for that voice to whisper his name. "Hiei!" Soft hands settled on his shoulder blades. The fire demon spin around in shock. Kurama's emerald eyes darkened. He dropped his hands and stared at the fire youkai intensely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You said that you'd always care I just turned around and there's nobody there ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hiei suddenly grabbed the youko on the waist and embraced him tightly. Kurama's arms went around the compact chest, leaning his bright head against the spiky hair. "Kurama!" The fire demon whispered tightly, brushing his face against the youko's chest "Don't leave me, fox!" The fire youkai blurted out in a rush; fresh tears ran down his cheeks. Kurama kissed the top of Hiei's head and made the youkai faced him. "Hiei, don't leave me again." The redhead whispered softly and bent head to kiss his lover on the lips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't leave me like this Don't leave me stranded If you walk away now You leave me empty handed Don't leave me like this Don't leave me stranded Don't leave me now Don't leave me... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~OWARI~ |
