~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

[Hiei watches Kurama secretly, thinking of the fox's kindness. Flash to Kurama smiling and saying something kind, treating him as no one else ever has, for Hiei is the Forbidden Child.]

I look at you looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of Mine

[Kurama knows that Hiei watches him, and he knows why. Smiling, he closes his eyes and pictures Hiei's kawaii face. Love fills his heart for the fire demon, unlike any feeling the fox has ever known.]

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm here for now, you helped me grow

[Hiei thinks of his life before meeting Kurama, every day a fight for survival, filled with bitterness and sorrow. Now his life seems to have a purpose, and his cold heart begins to warm.]

You came into my life
Sent from above

[Kurama thinks of how he met Hiei, the fire demon literally falling on him from a tree, wounded but still full of fight.]

When I lost the hope
You show me love
I'm checkin' for you
Boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

[Hiei remembers meeting Kurama and being attacked from behind, only to wake up in his bed, with the fox healing his injuries. The redhead had saved his life, and continued to save it every time he smiled or spoke kindly to him. Kurama always knows how to soothe him when he was upset or angry...or sad. The fire demon knows that without the fox, his life would be meaningless.]

Nothing means more to me then what we share
No one in this world can ever compare

[Kurama visits Hiei, jumping up into the tree that the fire demon inhabits, bringing ice cream for his friend. Hiei eats it while Kurama talks to him. The fox sees the ice cream on Hiei's face and leans down gently, not able to resist the urge to lick it off. Hiei looks confused for a moment, then disappears. Kurama curses, angry at himself for his impulsiveness.]

Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of Mine

[Hiei watches Kurama as he leaves for school, then touches his lips gently, remembering the night before, finally understanding after a sleepless night what Kurama meant by it.]

What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show

[Kurama walks home disspiritedly, wishing he could take back what happened the night before. He looks up and gasps, seeing Hiei standing on the sidewalk in front of him. Fiercely, the fox resists the urge to run to him and hug him.]

You came into my life
Sent from above

[Hiei looks at Kurama, who is his real-life angel, watching the conflicting emotions play across the fox's face. His fox's face.]

When I lost the hope
You show me love

[As Kurama stands there, Hiei flashes a small smile, the turns and begins to walk. Kurama smiles and follows, knowing that that's what Hiei wants him to do, wondering what awaits him at the end of this path.]

I'm checkin' for you
Boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

[Hiei looks back only once, unbelieving that Kurama is actually following him. He blinks as the fox flashes him a brilliant smile, then offers a hesitant, tiny one back. Then he turns and continues walking, quite aware when Kurama catches up to him and puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder.]

I never knew I could feel each moment
As if they were new

[Kurama is shocked that he is feeling true love for the first time in his four thousand year existance. He takes Hiei's hand and squeezes it gently, receiving the answering squeeze a few seconds later.]

Every breath that I take
The love that we make

[Hiei continue to lead Kurama until they reach the place. A beautiful, serene lake. Very secluded, with no one around. Kurama smiles at Hiei and hugs him, kissing his neck lightly. Hiei pulls away, his eyes avoiding Kurama's, and mumbles something at his query.]

I only share it with you
You, You, You, You

[Kurama stares at Hiei for an instant, shocked. Then he lifts Hiei's chin, waiting until the fire demon meets his gaze. He whispers something, and Hiei looks at him increduously. Then he smiles suddenly, the first true smile that Kurama has ever seen on his face, and hugs the fox.]

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you

[Kurama holds Hiei gently, thinking of the day they first met, and his longing for the fire demon ever since, even through all the harsh words.]

Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine

[Hiei falls asleep in Kurama's arms, and, for the first time since infancy, is untroubled by nightmares. He awakes with a feeling of contentment, of belonging, that he has never before felt. The fire demon knows that he has finally found a home and a safe haven with Kurama.]

You came into my life
Sent from above

[Kurama watches Hiei sleep, playing with the fire demon's hair. He leans down and kisses the brow of the being who is his soul mate.]

When I lost the hope
You show me love
I'm checkin' for you
Boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine

[Hiei's sorrowful past seems like a faded memory when he is with Kurama. Kurama's love is like a warm blanket, and the fox wraps him in it, keeping him safe and warm. He knows that if he had not met Kurama all of those years ago, he would be dead.]

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm here for now you helped me grow

[Kurama feels like his world his lit up, and his path clearer, with none of the obstacles that have barred his way before. With Hiei to share his life with, he feels like a new man.]

I look at you looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free

[Hiei grins as he catches Kurama looking at him as they walk down the street. The fox grins back and touches his shoulder gently. Hiei sighs happily; his long-time wish has finally come true. He finally has somebody who he can call family.]

Checkin' for you boy you're right on time
Angel of Mine
