Sheep: Sorry it took so long! I blame this time of the year. *shakes hand at exams* DAMN YOU, EXAMS! -_-U Hehe. So, here's the next bit of my poem-turned-story.

~*~

"There."

I just lifted my pen from the paper when my bedroom door slammed open.

"Seto! Seto!" Oh, it's just Mokuba. "Your board's doing something to your new holographic system. They're reconfiguring the safety protocols again."

Goddamn them. I specifically told them not to touch my systems until I had already tested it. Ah, well. They're just trying to kill me again, aren't they? Too bad they won't succeed. I'm already dead inside.

"Fine," I sighed. As I got up, the paper that I was writing on floated to the ground. Unfortunately, Mokuba got to it first. He looked at me with wide eyes when he glanced at the paper.

"Seto...?"

"It's nothing, Mokuba." I quickly took the paper from him. "Just a school assignment," I lied. I sealed it in a safe that I keep in the wall, so that nobody will know that it's there. "Let's go."

I dealt with my wretched, ungrateful board of idiots in a couple hours in downtown. But, amidst my threats, I felt... empty for some reason. Like there was nothing inside of me and I was just a shell living out someone else's life.

I was so confused when I left the meeting... I felt so estranged with myself that I couldn't concentrate...

When my limo came to pick me up, I told the driver to keep driving. With minimal persuasion, he got my drift. I needed to be alone with my thoughts.

I wandered around Domino City for a while; just letting my feet guide my way. My thoughts raced through my head at a mile a minute, but not going anywhere.

Why do I feel this way?! This is who I am! I'm a person who doesn't mind doing what he needs to do to get the job done. I am in control of my life. Yes. I control my own life and what happens to me. I can't be blamed if someone pushes me too hard so that I have to resort to the last option. And, if I want something, I will not hesitate to ask for it. Not my fault if they make me do things to hurt them.

Is this really who I am?

Oh, my God...

How did this happen? What kind of beast did I turn into?

No! This can't be who I am! I just don't know what comes over me when something like that happens, that's all!

...Then, who am I?



What the...?

Oh, it just HAD to rain today, didn't it?

Where am I? Great... this day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it? I just had to end up at the last place I want to be…

~*~

Sheep: Again, I AM SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!! And for the short chapter!

Oh, and to my reviewers... *HUGS* Thank you! Good guessing! And, yes, it is very similar to what Marik or Yami Bakura would do, but I thought it was more like Kaiba.

Also, I'm planning to make more poems later on of different characters. You're all welcome to guess, of course, once I put them up. BUT, the next time I will most likely update with another chappie is after exams.
