This is a sort of poem in Touya's POV. It's when he's fighting Kurama in the Dark Tournament (I love that episode!!!!!) Please review!
…………………

There's something about you that makes me want to trust.

Is it your eyes,

The look of confidence?

Is it the smart remarks,

The clever use of time?

No matter.

As a Shinobi I am forbidden to trust.

People from the outside world, anyway.

My job is to fight for the good of my sect.

I cannot allow anything to get in my way.

I'm fighting for the light that should rightfully be ours.

Nothing will stop me.

Not even you.

I have the advantage.

You will die.

I like you, I admit.

We are alike in many ways.

But I must kill you.

Let's not have this slaying ruin our friendship.

No, don't run.

I can't guarantee a painless kill now.

No matter.

I will win the light.

I will kill you.

Now die...

Insane!

You've sown the Death Seed into your own body!

You really are clever.

You've beaten me.

Please kill me.

I am not afraid to die.

I have failed my sect.

If I die, they will live on.

They will gain the light.

And enjoy it.

Please, I beg you, kill me.

Why do you refuse?

Is it because you pity me?

I assure you, I need no pity.

No?

Why then?

You think I can make my life better?

Perhaps.

More noble than yours?

I'm not so sure.

No!

You can't die.

I should be the one.

Wait.

A faint heartbeat.

You're alive.

Amazing.

I promise, when we meet again, things will be different.

Now I understand.

I decide.

The heck with the rules.

Perhaps we can be friends.

And I can trust you after all.
