How Do I Live
by Trisha Yearwood

(It's nighttime at the Minamino residence. Soft strands of music wafts through the air of Shuichi Minamino's room, unaware of and unheard by its two lone occupants....)
How do I get through one night without you
( Lying in bed, Kurama slowly opens his eyes and looks at the ceiling )
If I had to live without you
(briefly, kurama closes his eyes, sighing contentedly)
What kind of life would that be?
(Still sighing, he gazes at the person lying next to him)
Oh I....need you in my arms, need you to hold
(Hiei is fast asleep beside him, breathing lightly. He lies on his side, facing Kurama)
You are my world, my heart my soul
(Kurama smiles tenderly, thinking how innocent Hiei looks as he sleeps)
If you ever leave
(He gently touches one side of Hiei's face, stroking)
Baby you would take away everything good in my life
(Hiei nestles deeper into the crook of Kurama's hand. He moves slightly, but does not wake)
And tell me now
(With one last caress, Kurama slowly removes his hand)
How do I live without you? I want to know
(Kurama gets off the bed, silently as not to wake his lover up, and walks towards the bedroom window)
How do I breathe without you? I f you ever go
(He raises his hand and wipes off part of the fog that had covered the window pane)
How do I ever, ever survive?....
(Kurama now opens the window, and almost immediately a breeze teases his hair)
How do i, how do I, oh how do I live?
(He leans forward, so that both hands rest on the windowsill, and stares up at the star-filled sky)
Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
(As Kurama continues looking up, he remembers the special moments he has had with Hiei)
There would be no love in my life, there would be no world left for me
(He also remembers the day Hiei had given him his hiruseki gem, and the look in his eyes that had told Kurama what he had hoping for so long)
And I....(Kurama closes his eyes, as he remembers when he thought he had lost Hiei)
.....baby, I don't know what I would do, I'd be lost if I lost you,
(flashback)(Hiei had shielded an already weakened Kurama from a savage blast, and was deeply wounded in the process)
if you ever leave, baby you would take away everything real in my life
(Cradled by Kurama, Hiei gives him a soft smile. With some difficulty, he reaches up and wipes away Kurama's tears with a bloody hand)
And tell me now
(Even when Hiei sleeps, exhausted, he never let go of Kurama's hand)
Please tell me baby how do I go on
(Tearing away from his thoughts, Kurama turns back, but then notices something on his dresser)
If you ever leave, baby you would take away everything, need you with me..
(He leaves the window open and heads towards his dresser)
Baby don't you know that you're everything good in my life
(He picks ot up; it is a photo of Hiei and him. He smiles as he remembers Hiei's reluctance at being photographed.)
And tell me now
(Two arms suddenly, firmly, close around Kurama's wrist)
How do I live without you? I want to know
(Startled, Kurama lets the photograph flutter to the floor. Slowly he turns)
How do I breathe without you? if you ever go
(Hiei gazes back at him, his expression unreadable as always. Unreadable, but tender)
How do I ever, ever survive?
(Hiei takes Kurama's hand. A tiny smile is on his lips as he sneaks a look back at the bed, which Kurama sees)
How do I, oh how do I, oh how do i live?
(A mischievious grin spreads across Kurama's face, so wide it's dazzling. Reverently, he wraps his fingers around Hiei's as if never wanting to let go)
How do I live without you?
(They walk pass the open window and onwards to Kurama's bed)
How do I live without you, baby?
(The lights go out. Outside, the stars seem to shine even more brighter than before)
How do I live?.......
(The now familiar breeze rustles the curtains, and all is quiet once more.)
