Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Everything You Want ❯ Everything You Want ( Prologue )

[Hiei sits in a tree, watching the moon as he tries futily to sleep, his mind full of unanswered questions. Kurama lies in his bed, wide awake and thinking.]

You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
And now you're here and you don't know why

[Flashback to Kurama teasing Hiei. The fire demon does not react to the fox's flirting. Finally, Kurama gets fed up and hugs him tightly. Hiei shoves him away and flees, not understanding.]

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
And past the places where you used to learn

[Hiei's memories torment him as he tries to sleep. Nearly every night ends with a nightmare. Kurama tries to understand why Hiei left, but even with four millennia of knowledge he's left baffled.]

You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angel that won't return

[Flashback to Kurama offering Hiei and ice cream cone. Hiei rejects it with a rude comment. Kurama doesn't react; he only offers it to him again. Hiei leaves.]

He's everything you want
He's everything you need

[Kurama looks longingly after Hiei, still holding the ice cream cone, feeling like he's missing something without the fire demon.]

He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why

[Hiei watches enviously as Kurama uses his outgoing personality and natural charm to make friends, wishing that he had the same ability. Kurama seems to see his emotions and says something kind to him. Hiei stares at him impassively and leaves, wishing Kurama could be his friend, but knowing with depressing certainty that it's impossible.]

You're waiting for someone
To put you together

[Hiei makes a cryptic remark to Kurama, hoping that the fox will understand. The fire demon leaves, disappointed, as Kurama only stares at him blankly, not understanding at all.]

You're waiting for someone
To push you away
There's always another
Wound to discover
[Hiei says something sarcastic to one of Kurama's comments, expecting to be yelled at. Instead, the fox looks hurt. Hiei leaves, the hurt look somehow hurting more than harsh words would have.]

There's always something more you wish he'd say

[Kurama smiles at Hiei, telling the fire demon that he's his best friend. Hiei feels disappointed for some reason. He leaves.]

He's everything you want
He's everything you need

[Hiei watches Kurama go through his day as a ningen, wishing, for some reason, that he could join him. He leaves as the longing in his heart urges him to do just that.]

He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why

[Kurama sighs enviously as Hiei leaves for a trip to the Makai, wishing he could do the same thing. He sometimes gets fed up with the ningen life. If only he could go. Hiei surprises the fox by asking him if he wants to come with. Kurama just smiles, politely declining. Somehow Hiei's offer makes him feel better.]

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're askin' for

[Hiei sees the longing in Kurama's eyes every time the fox teases him, but he ignores it, waiting for it to go away, knowing that the Forbidden Child couldn't have friends.]

And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waitin' for

[Kurama sits in the park with nothing to do. Hiei hasn't visited him in a long time. He feels like giving up, but knows that he can't.]

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned

[A deep depression settles over Hiei as the Urameshi Team disbands. He feels as though there is nowhere he can go. He remembers Kurama's many offers of friendship and bitterly realizes that he should have accepted them.]

You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels that won't return

[Kurama sits in the park, appearing calm on the outside, but inside he is tormented by a maelstrom of anger; anger that is directed at himself for scaring Hiei away. He knows in his heart that the fire demon will never come back.]

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be

[Hiei returns to the Ningenkai, horribly injured. He goes to Kurama's place. The fox brings him in and helps him heal him with care that Hiei has never known.]

He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you and you don't know why

[Hiei thanks Kurama softly, shocking the fox. Hiei has never thanked him before. Kurama smiles and tells him that he didn't need to thank him; he would help him any time.]

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be

[Kurama, knowing that Hiei wants and needs someone to love him, hugs the fire demon gently, fully expecting him to run. To his surprise, Hiei stays put. In fact, he leans into the hug.]

I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why

[Kurama whispers something into Hiei's ear. The fire demon pulls away, staring at the fox sadly. He leaves.]

And I don't know...why

[Kurama sobs as he watches Hiei disappears into the night. Something glints on the floor in the moonlight, catching the fox's attention. Kurama picks it up. It's a perfect, black tear gem.]

And I don't know...

[Hiei stops in a tree, remembering his regret at not accepting Kurama's friendship before. Kurama looks up as somebody enters through his window, staring with shock as he sees that it's Hiei. The fire demon advances and stares at Kurama for a long moment. Suddenly, he leans forward and wraps his arms around Kurama, burying his face in the fox's chest. Kurama returns the hug, rocking the Jaganshi back and forth as he trembles.]

...why...

My very first songfic. I hope minna likes it! I plan on writing others as well. By the way, I will hopefully have a non-songfic lemon sequel to this, so stay tuned or whatever.
