Easier to Run

Bakura13: Thank you all for all the reviews n_n;

Jou: And thank you to the people that gave me food! I'm not going to die hungry!

Honda: You're going to share that... right? *reaches towards the food*

Jou: Ey! *hits Honda's hand with a fly swatter* Back off, pal! Beg for yer own grub!

Ryou: No comment? AHHH! Bakura! Don't touch my stamp collection! *runs off*

Bakura13: He... err... has a stamp collection? o.O Well then...

Seto: *rolls his eyes.* Acting just like children...

Bakura13: *sticks her tongue out* ... Anyway, I've had trouble writing for a while. A writer's block, if you will and this next songfic is dedicated to the one and only billionaire Seto Kaiba! And it is written with the song, Easier To Run - By Linkin Park, Meteora Album.

Seto: ... This was not written on the note to come here, you know. I'll sue you.

Bakura13: THAT... is not nice. Anyway, you know the drill. Here's the songfic.

Seto: Did you hear me? I'll sue for all it's worth.

Bakura13: -.-; I feel so loved...

If only I could be a person who could dismiss things easily... such as forgetting one's mistakes, troubles and pasts... If only it were that easy...

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb

All I can do is cover it all up... all those damned images of my childhood as I grew up. Cover it up with a strong attitude, my skills and intelligence.

It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Yet I am surrounded by insolent fools...not including my brother. But I can't tell him how much... pain, I should call it, that I am bottling up inside of me. He'll get too concerned and tell Yugi and the rest of those morons... I need no sympathy from them or anyone.

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see

There is no way in hell that I am telling my brother of the true fate of our sorry excuse for a step-father. That bastard was careless and underestimated me. If anyone finds out that I pushed him out a window, many stories high off of the street, then I would be in trouble... as much trouble to send me to jail for murder.

Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played

But these damned images keep bothering me... haunting me, even. The same scene plays when that man was ruthless towards my younger brother and I, when he pushed me to the edge of what I could take... when I pushed him out the window. He made me what I am today... and I am not talking about being a business billionaire. My personality was molded by him, and him alone.

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

What I wouldn't do to get more time to spend with my brother... I'm bogged down constantly by the never-ending paperwork, and program making from Kaiba Corp. Since I inherited the company from that useless idiot, I've been responsible for everything. Anything that goes wrong, it'll immediately be pointed towards me... unless I say otherwise.

If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

If only I could bury all these problems... all of it, six feet under. Maybe more, just to make sure.

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

Things could change, if I wanted them to. But what could I change it to? What would I do if things were different?

If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

Oh I know... fire those idiots who tried to overthrow me...

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb

And yet I am still bothered... no matter what I do, these memories keep coming back to me. I know for a fact that I didn't make a mistake. Ignore it with endless work and be the greatest number one duelist of all time.

It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Damned those traitorous employees... damn that sorry excuse for a step father... damn that Yugi and his little pathetic friends... damn all of them, damn it. They've been no help to me what so ever. It is every man for himself now, nothing more, nothing less.

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have

What I wouldn't do to let that moron die a more painful way... falling out of a window wasn't good enough. He deserved much worse... a hell of a lot worse for what he did to Mokuba and I.

Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

I could do so many things just to... not remember any of the bad things that happened in my childhood. Our mother and father dying, one after the other... Being stuck in that god damned orphanage, seeing my little brother being picked on by the stuck up assholes of the dorms... trying to be adopted WITH my brother, and not being taken alone so those brainless fools can boast about their newly and highly intelligent son. And finally... those years being stuck with that asshole... a Kaiba with the pure blood of one. And so we inherited the cursed last name...

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

Picking up habits... being like the adoptive father... life's a bitch. That's all I'll say.

If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

Though it seems that I'll be keeping all these thoughts to myself, from now on. Can't let anyone else know or they'll think I'm some sensitive person and I'll need their useless help. Fools... all of them.

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

My brother looks up to me, like I am his lifetime idol... I don't really mind but I absolutely do NOT want him to end up like that dead man. The kid needs a break and he was too young to truely understand what was going on while we were alone and being adopted. I'll lie to him, saying that everything is going to be fine. Hell no! Nothing is fine, damn it.

If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

Losing my duel against Yugi for the first time was the last straw... I disappointed Mokuba and from that point on, I was taking no shit from anyone. And that still continues. I don't care what people think of me anymore. I don't care who they are, how famous or skilled they are, I will crush them like the helpless insects they are. No one disrespects the newly fixed Kaiba family; my brother and I.

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside

If I let myself fall from anything, I'll be defenseless and an easy target. I stay on top of everything, and nothing will get in my way to stop me. Nothing.

Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change

And the there is the high school that I go to... surrounded by brainless zombies who try to learn some simple concepts... There is ALWAYS the thought of me standing out. A business CEO, attending some highschool that is meant for... what would people call it these days... 'normal' people. I am not going to be their equal, I am destined for much more than a simple classroom and petty text books.

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb

Ignore the small things, ignore the issues of the past and go for bigger platforms in this place.

It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

I'm playing solo now, protecting my brother from the harms of worthless idiots. Never again, will I let another person attempt to join this family's name... especially if the person is like that dead step-father...

It's easier to run
If I could change I would take back the pain I would

I'm making no more mistakes now. No harm is going to come to me or my brother. Anyone who stands against it, will regret stepping in the same area as me...

Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's easier to go

Though I keep refering to the step-father... my revenge is not yet complete... it will never be until everything is the way it should be... and it will not be for quite a while...

If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

I am glad that I've kept this all from Mokuba... the pain would be unbearable... his life will be much better than mine has been.

If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

To death, shall the revenge stop...
