Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Kurama and landmines ❯ One ( Chapter 2 )

Warnings and Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. Please don't hate me for this fic - I hate myself enough already! If you really don't like death, please review and tell me so. Shounen ai (Hiei x Kurama) if you want it that way. This is mostly from Hiei's POV - he's talking to Kurama through the Jagan. Italics are the song/Kurama's thoughts.

 

The song is word for word from the song book - if there's bad grammar or anything, it's not my fault! The song is Metallica's “One” from their `…And Justice For All' CD.

 

One

 

I can't remember anything

 

Can't tell if this is true or dream

 

Deep down inside I feel to scream

 

This terrible silence stops me

 

It's just a dream, Kurama. Wake up! Come back to us. I know you can. If anyone can, it's you. You were hurt, but you'll be OK. All you have to do is wake up. Can't you hear me? It's Hiei, Kurama. Answer me, please…

 

Now that the war is through with me

 

I'm waking up, I cannot see

 

That there is not much left of me

 

Nothing is real but pain now

 

That's right. The fight is over. We won. Just open your eyes. Look at me, please. I'm right behind you. If you'd just turn around…I know it hurts, and you may never be the same again, but you're still yourself. Still you.

 

Hold my breath as I wish for death

 

Oh please, God, wake me

 

Ahh! I feel it! It hurts so bad! No! Don't give in! Keep fighting, Kurama! Please? For me? Please…

 

Back in the womb it's much too real

 

In pumps life that I must feel

 

But can't look forward to reveal

 

Look to the time when I'll live

 

You can feel the tubes and needles, but you can't feel me? I'm right here. My head is resting on your chest. I can hear your heartbeat. Don't think like that…you'll..it will be OK. It will be. This time…I'll protect you. I promise…all you have to do is wake up.

 

Fed through the tube that sticks in me

 

Just like a wartime novelty

 

Tied to machines that make me be

 

Cut this life off from me

 

Hiei had taken it hard. Yusuke walked into the hospital room to see the little fire demon resting his head on their friend's chest. Kurama was…bad off. Even if he survived his injuries, he wouldn't be able to live a normal life. Hiei was still trying to use the Jagan to bring the fox back to consciousness. Yusuke saw tears of frustration escape Hiei's control. Yusuke wished he would just give up. It was painful enough watching Kurama dying slowly without Hiei trying to prolong the poor fox's life.

 

Hold my breath as I wish for death

 

Oh please, God, wake me

 

Now the world is gone, I'm just one

 

Oh God, help me

 

Hold my breath as I wish for death

 

Oh please, God, help me

 

You still can't hear me? Feel me? See me? Please! I'm here! Don't do that! It hurts…hurts for me to see you like this.

 

Darkness imprisoning me

 

But it's so bright in here!

 

All that I see

 

Absolute horror

 

Surely it's not so bad…

 

I cannot live

 

I cannot die

 

No! You ARE alive! And you'll keep living!

 

Trapped in myself

 

Body my holding cell

 

But…I can help you get around…

 

Landmine has taken my sight

 

I'll be your eyes…

 

Taken my speech

 

I can talk for you…

 

Taken my hearing

 

I can…

 

Taken my arms

 

Yes…but…

 

Taken my legs

 

But…

 

Taken my soul

 

I…

 

Left me with life in hell

 

I…understand.

 

Hiei opened his two normal eyes and closed the Jagan. He looked down at his dear friend and a small sob escaped him at the pathetic sight. All that was left of him was his head and the trunk of his body. Even his hair was gone. Hiei bowed his head for a moment before drawing his sword with lightning speed and cutting Kurama's head off. Then he turned the sword on himself.

 

It's my fault! :stab:

 

Owari.

 

Author's Note: If you really don't like that I killed them off, please let me know (no flames, please). If you want me to write a second fic with the same subject, but where they both live let me know! If you want it shounen ai, I can handle that… no matter what, let me know what you thought! Thanks!
