Naruto Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Demon Flux ❯ Hiei Intermission ( Chapter 13 )

Starshifter's Note:

Sorry about the delay with the next chapter. I have had too much happen to me this month. After living for almost 18 years in one place…we finally moved. 18 years of stuff I've collected has yet to be unpacked… I am working fulltime and getting a degree online…plus, I am having a beta revamp Demon Flux even as I continue to write it! I take too much on, but I wouldn't feel happy if I didn't. Anyway, I thank Kenhime for doing a quick beta on the song-fic so I could get you something to peruse! Thanks to Snowy Yuki for the suggestion too!!

~lyrics~

---------

`Trust a human.

Hn.

Never.

A rule I have lived by,

And I have not limited it to merely humans,

For I trust no demon either.

Yet, this human, Yusuke…

Why is he so different?'

~You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through~

`He is weak.

Friends are weaknesses.

The `baka' knows this.

Yet, he continually places them and himself in danger

His enemies will always use his family and friends against him.'

~It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth~

`I asked Kurama what attracts him to humans.

He should know, as he has lived with them.

I also see this as a weakness in him.

His human mother has been a source of confusion for him.

I tell him this and he laughs.

A strange sound, but one I am growing accustomed to.'

~Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied~

`He answers my question with a question.

I hate it when the fox is trying to `kid" me;

He can be so annoying.

I catch an odd phrase and make him repeat it:

"For humans, having loved ones and friends is not a weakness

It makes you stronger."

~It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth~

Silly kitsune.

Count on him to be so illogical and cryptic.

~Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before~

I don't need to place my trust in the human.

I barely even `trust' the fox.

I don't need `friends'

~Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell~

Kurama is speaking again…

He says I don't know my own feelings.

Bah!

Feelings are stupid human emotions!

Weaknesses!'

He sighs.

That is another strange sound he makes.

"Hiei…"

I look at him.

"You'll only suffer more when you deny them.

It doesn't matter whether you need friends;

It's whether or not you actually want them."

~You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth~

I don't need this from him!

It has been a long time since I have chosen my path.

Irregardless of the consequences then and now

And knowing my intent and `feelings,'

They cannot change

They should not change.

And certainly not because of a human,

Or even Kurama.

…

.

Trust a human…

Hn.

…

..

.

Never.'

~Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before~

I suddenly get an odd feeling.

What is it?

Like a cold shiver.

I felt it once before

…

..

.

When Yusuke fought Susaku.

Hn.

That human…

…

..

.

What is he doing now?

…

..

.

"Where's Yusuke?" I ask.

"Hm?" Kurama looks at me with a grin.

"Why do you want to know?"

…

..

.

Hn.

What a suspicious fox.
