**BECAUSE KABUTOS LIFE IS ACTUALLY SO SAD. AND HE IS A PRICK.**

It is Nine O'clock.

Kabuto lies in bed,

And remembers the day he first saw the time

With his own eyes.

He traces the rims of his round glasses,

And will always remember that when he removes them,

The time is Nine O'clock.

At this time,

His mother tells him it is time for bed.

Her sweet smile.

Sweet sweetness.

"All I ever wanted," He said,

"Was someone to appreciate who I was."

But Kabuto didn't even know who he was himself.

"I wanted to be acknowledged." He whispered.

"Where is the mistake in that? Where did I…. go wrong?"

And he said these words every night

Like a prayer.

At least he was loved once.

By an almost mom.

It is still nine O'clock.

His glasses are always removed at Nine O'clock,

Ready for bed.

Because at 9:01,

He is alone.
