Shenmue: Decisions and Misconceptions (teaser)
By: Lonewolf

This is an opening thought by Ryo Hazuki one month following the events of Shenmue I. If I get enough requests, I'll start into the story. As always it is important to note that all Shenmue and Shenmue II characters are property of Sega, AM2, and Yu Suzuki. Those cats have a great game on their hands! (See if you can name all the girls he speaks of and reply on them in your review.)

She has no idea
Her friends think I'm despondent
They think I could care less about her
But, my father is gone
I cannot profess a love I barely feel
Or do I?
I feel that I must protect her
Be with her
Yet I cannot
She is far away
And there is another
She secretly revels in my company
And still another
Who pervaded the inner realms of my dreams
Yet still another
Who's eyes capture me and who is older, yet wise and beautiful
And then the last
Exotic and rebellious
But she has all the trust in the world in me
And how do I treat them
Coldly, mostly distant
But I still care
That's why I come to their rescue
That is why I concentrate on my father's death
On his murderer
So that I have time to consider these who claim to feel for me
And finally accept she who is true
She who truly heals the deep wound in my heart
She who is eternal...
