Disclaimer: At the beginning of this story it seems all sappy and stuff, not really but I think so, but that is how the story came to me, and plus it helps establish the characters. Kind of sappy stuff but still pretty good. And while this may not exactly follow the storyline of YYH it is not meant to do that…I just used some things that actually happened to establish a sense of time…and yes I know Hiei had the Jagan eye implanted into him so he could find his sister Yukina...you'll see what I mean..later...but hey this is my story!!!! I get to make the rules here!
It was a long time ago, once upon a time many would say...it was the day Hiei learned a little about love. He found his love in a human. Wait I think I have said too much, you should learn this on your own.
---Transcendent Love---
Hiei had been living on his own for quite a while in Spirit World and had longed for a challenge. I mean since he is so fast, no opponent seemed worth of Hiei's time. He grew bored, he had often heard that there was a gate that would connect the Spirit World to the human world…yet if you did not know where you were looking you would just pass it by. Hiei searched and searched to no success, so for a while he had decided to take the day off and rest to try to asses what it was that he wished to accomplish while in the human world. Hiei though to himself, “Humans…ha…what a joke they are…none of them are worthy of a fight…so what is the point of crossing the gate if there is to be no challenge? Perhaps I will go and have some fun with these pathetic beings.” About a week later by luck her had found it…he found the gate…there was one catch though….it was heavily guarded…Lord Koenma no doubt had placed these guisters there so nothing would happen to the human world…and so less paperwork would be necessary. Hiei knew well the way of the guisters though…Lord Koenma used these lethargic beings many a time to guard what his ogres could not handle. Guisters although having a great muscle mass and a knack for putting up a good fight…were still fairly slow for Hiei’s pace…and rather dumb as well. That same day Hiei decided to go into the world of humans to see how his powers were coming along. He first though had to get past these guards….so armed with his katana he made mince meat out of the guisters.
When finally in the human world he began with basic mind control to the first person he came across and made them say "To be free on must give up a little part of one's self, which part will you give me?" It barely gave him even a little satisfaction, so Hiei quit and moved on to bigger things. After a few hours he grew tired of human world and decided to go back home. On his way back to the gate Hiei came across a mystical girl whose magical captivation of Hiei and spirit energy could only be beaten by her beauty, or so Hiei thought to himself. He searched her mind and found a fuzzy past, a number of spells mainly for healing, and her name...her name was Ookumae. Then with a flash she was gone, Hiei had not even had the chance to find out more, when he realized that for as I mentioned he was really taken by her. "After seeing this, there is no decision to be made. I will stay and find Ookumae." Hiei said to himself.
It did not take him long at all yet, when he found her, he did not really know what to say, so he slipped into the background and observed her a bit more. Ookumae had walked into The Scarab’s Amber to get her favorite, Purple Mountain's Majesty, tea and was reading a book of sonnets. She at times could be a hopeless romantic, as pathetic as it is. She had been hurt too many times by love, she was tired of being alone but could not think of anything she could do about relationships. Hiei, of course, saw all of this and wanted a chance to have her, at least talk to him. Luckily The Scarab’s Amber was having a poetry reading that night and was beginning to fill up. Hiei saw this as his chance, he decided to get her attention with a poem, he knew she would deeply enjoy that. But what would he say or do?!? Hiei did not think of himself as the poetic type, the only thing that he saw poetic about himself was when he killed…“good luck trying that here” he said to himself. But he signed up anyway.
Hiei's turn came up soon and he slowly got all his words together, he searched Ookumae's mind to find some thing to catch her attention, and captivate her heart as her beauty had already captivated him, but Hiei was still not too sure of himself. Hiei began by saying "This one goes out to the stranger I see, the one I want to be beside me....."
(Hiei's Poem) "Your eyes are like diamonds held in two pools of tears.
No one takes the time to get to know the real you, but I would.
Your skin is more radiant that the moon‘s luminescence.
There may never be a beauty like yours.
Your lips are as red as a blood..y...a blood crystal.
If I could only hear your voice come through them.
You may not have known it, but maybe now you do,
I would truly like to have the chance to love you."
Of course, it was not taken as Hiei thought, instead of many people thinking that he was the weirdest person ever, and that he was definitely no poet, they thought his style was new and quite amazing. Hiei thought it was crap, and went outside in shame.
Ok that's all for now...tell me what you think...
