Response to The Narrator's challenge. Hope there isn't too many mess-ups! A bit of spoilers too.

Blind. Eyes closed forever more…never to catch the glimmer of the sun's rays. This may be true in some respects, that I will never be able to see as clearly as when I came into this world. But blind? I don't think so. Maybe it is to say I have nothing to obstruct my sight from the deep thoughts of others. Mindless fools, they wear their emotions on their sleeves. If only they were to blind themselves to this world's distractions, they too would be able to read their opponents.
And you…hiding your feelings from others, trying to keep it all locked away. You may do a good job to fool most of them, but I see. Something has changed within that killer's soul of yours -something not entirely unwelcome. And yet…
And yet it poisons you. You used to be perfect; I looked up to you as someone I strived to be like. A mentor…someone who took me in and taught me everything about this life. I was trained to be like that of a god…to be like you. How foolish I was to trust a promise so unreliable.
Come with me…
I believed it, with everything in me. I followed because there was nothing left. I had nowhere else to go.
Come with me…and I will make you the second strongest in the world.
It doesn't matter any more. What's done is done and now I am on my own journey. Funny how both of our destinies seem to be permanently intertwined, though. I could hardly call it my own.
Somehow…I see it, despite everything. No, outward blindness does not hinder inner sight. Through your rough visage something is breaking away. The moment I told you that terrible lie I indeed caught a glimpse. And I knew that you were changing from within because of this.
Akira! That is ENOUGH!
Could I say I hate it? I stole your body, hid it from you, and feigned the death of an innocent girl. Though, she saved Shindara and Antera. Not so innocent now, is she? So do I hate this change in you? Could it be that I see your instincts weaken because of it? No, it doesn't matter. I want only one thing…
Let us fight, Kyo, and see who really IS the strongest.
Memories linger like battles long past…before they fade away.

Okay! Let's keep this thing going!
