Author's note: This is my first time writing Gatekeepers fiction, so be nice to me ^_^.
Disclaimer: I dunno who Gatekeepers belongs to, but it's certainly not mine.
I'll Prove Myself to Him
I'm Ruriko Ikusawa.
I'm a Gatekeeper.
I'm the owner of the Arrow of Light.
I can give life.
I'm popular, beautiful, confident, smart.
I'm supposedly perfect.
I've been lucky, all my life.
That's what they think.
Do they know how I feel inside?
Do they know how my heart clenches
When I think of those days
When I was teased, mocked ant taunted?
Do they know how I cried myself to sleep?
Do they know how I squeeze my eyes shut
When I recall those times
When I was all alone in the dark
With those cruel faces surrounding me?
No one was ever on my side.
Do they know how hurt, how sad, how angry I was?
Do they know how I worked, how I suffered
To prove myself?
I won't be weak again.
I'll fight with everything I have
For mankind.
For Earth.
And for my pride.
Ukiya Syun.
I hate him.
Why is he always so sure of himself
So relaxed, so laid-back?
What does everything come so easily to him?
Sniveler. Sniveler. Sniveler…
Whenever he calls me that,
I remember
Times that I don't want to.
Does he still think of me as that?
But I'm not!
I'm not. I'm not.
I'll prove it to him.
I'll show him.
I'll show him the new Ruriko Ikusawa.
Then maybe he'll finally respect me.
Then maybe he'll finally love me.
~ The End ~
Author's note: Ruriko is my fave character! Not only can she fight, she isn't those happy, perky heroines either. She is hurt inside, too, which makes her more interesting to write about. So…how did you like that? Please R&R. Flame me if you really have to. Also, please inform me if I have made any spelling or grammatical errors. There's one thing I'm puzzled about. The subtitles of the show tell me that it's Ukiya Shun, but the websites I visit say that it's Syun. Which one is it?
Dedication: To all the Gatekeepers fans. ^_^
