I am a tool for him to use

He is precious to me

He gave me a home

He gave me a reason to keep going

I was an orphan

Searching in the dumpster

For food

Fighting dogs for scraps

And giving the dogs scraps

I may look delicate

But I can fight

And I am quick

I am a valuable asset

I am not Haku

I am only a tool

For him to use for his purposes

I do not question him

Nor do I expect anything from him

Warmth, love, or kindness

I give but I don't receive

I am here to protect him

I am his shield

I met a boy today

He thought I was a girl

I am only a tool

He spoke of a person

He had to get stronger than him

He had to keep training

Which is why he was sleeping

On a bed of herbs

He must have been exhausted

I had met him before

But before I did not speak to him

My face was covered

He believed I was a young boy

I am but I am only a tool

To be used by my master

I collected herbs for him to get better

He is precious to me

This person is not precious to him

He doesn't understand what I mean

What I mean by precious

I tell him but I don't know

I don't know if he understands

He only wants to beat this person

I don't want my master beaten

I leave him after collecting herbs

When I leave I tell him

I tell him I am a boy

Which is true but I am

I am only a tool for my master

I pass another boy while I walk

I walk past a brooding boy

He seems internally upset

Upset at something I don't know

I don't know if this is the person

The person the other boy told me

Was the one he had to beat

I wonder if this boy found

Found the other boy precious

Precious to him or if this boy

This boy only cared about beating

Beating the other one

Which to both it is just a contest

A contest to see who is the best

They have no sense of precious

I go back to my master's home

I tend to him and I imagine him

Him saying thank you

Thank you to me which is very odd

Very odd since to him I am

I am only a tool
