Yami:
I don't have a problem.
I merely have too many buttons for people to push.
You'd think by now that they'd learn to leave me alone.
But no,
They have to keep prying,
Sticking their noses where they don't belong.
Especially my Hikari.
Why I was destined to be released by that weakling
I will never know.
He's too fragile
If he can't even take my attempts to make him stronger.
It's certainly not my fault that his father is too soft on him,
But I damn well can do something about it.
I'm not about to have some thug
Try and take advantage of him.
And I'm smart enough to know
That he's 'pretty' enough to attract that kind of attention.
I'm not blind,
Though some seem to think I am;
Especially him.
I know he thinks he's seen my past -
He's not strong enough to keep me out of his thoughts -
But even I can't remember all of it,
So I'm not worried about what he sees in my dreams.
But when I see pity in his eyes,
I almost lose it.
I can't stand people thinking I have a weakness,
That I need to be patted on the head,
My wounds kissed away.
Sometimes, though
I envy him,
To be able to still feel emotions like pity,
Mercy,
Compassion,
Maybe even love.
All I know,
Have ever known,
Is hate,
Despair,
Pain,
Loss.
He still has an innocence around him,
One that cannot so easily be taken away.
Yet, I have to wonder,
If it will still be there when Destiny has called.
