Free Bird
Scars
I tried my best
To protect this place I lived in
And this place that Seto lived in
But when I had to go
When I had to become
An "ultimate weapon"
I realized that I may never
Be able to be with him again
I hate being me...
I hate myself...
It had been weeks since the first attack. Yami had ducked out several times since then, and he always had the feeling that someone was watching him for reasons he didn't understand. Seto comforted him the best he could, but it seemed that the smile and the joy inside of him faded a little bit everyday. Yami was trying his best to stay human, but it was more like he was afraid of something inside of him.
When Yami would leave, Seto would go the concrete lookout tower and watch the little green dot zoom off in a direction and return to him at all hours of them morning. They were both there one day, talking.
"Yami...why don't we run away together? Run away to Tokyo even?"
"Seto...Tokyo is..." Yami caught himself before he said it. But Seto knew and Yami looked away, ashamed.
"Then let's just run away, far from here. Let's just get away from here." Seto said, pulling Yami close to him and just held him there, drawing in the moment.
The two walked away from the tower and both hopped on Seto's bike (a motorcycle for those of you out there) and picked a random direction away from there. Yami held on to Seto tightly, looking over his shoulder in either fear or anxiety.
And then he saw them. There were two little dots out of the corner of his eye. Seto heard him scream in pain, and started to turn around to look.
"Seto! Don't look back! Just look ahead!" Yami shouted over the wind. He bit down on his lower lip as his shirt flapped in the wind. A beam of light burst from the back of his shirt and straight up into the sky. There was silence before there were two small explosions. Yami tasted blood in his mouth, and realized how hard he ha bit into his lip.
It was dusk, and they were walking under the cover of trees. Yami walked behind Seto, only to hide the hole in the back of his shirt. He didn't want to make Seto worry any more than normal. They stopped for the moment, both of them resting against a tree. Yami was about to take a nap when he heard the sound of propeller blades.
He stood up, almost like he was in a trance. His eyes changed, and it seemed that he was not entirely himself. He looked up at the sky, body beginning to glow a faint green.
"I must kill them before they kill me..." He whispered.
Something hit Yami from behind, knocking him back to reality and throwing him to the ground. He rolled over onto his back and tried to sit up but Seto pushed him back down. Yami struggled as Seto cut open his shirt.
"Don't look at me! Don't look at my body!" Yami cried over and over. But Seto was in shock at what he saw. Yami fell silent and let the moment pass.
There was a large spider-like scar tracing its way across Yami's chest. Seto looked at his lover's hands, and there were the same spider-scars on the palms. And on his back, where the light had come from, there were several spider-like scars. Two of them were on his shoulder blades, where his wings would emerge. Some were on his shoulders themselves, indicating where his arm had changed in the first place.
Yami curled up into a little ball, sobbing. Seto reached out his hand but Yami pulled away. But Seto wouldn't have that. He pulled Yami close to him and the two of them cried together. And when their sobbing was over, Yami began to speak.
"There's this...thing growing inside of me...I try so hard to keep that thing in control...but it seems that the more and more I use my powers...no matter what it's for...I feel less and less like who I once was...I..."
Seto placed one hand over Yami's mouth to silence him before catching his lips in a very real and very passionate kiss. Blue eyes looked into sad red eyes.
"Even if this world is destroyed, even if you love someone else, even if this body is destroyed, even if you hate me, even if we cease to exist, I will always love you and I will always be there to protect you. Or at least I can try." Seto whispered.
Yami nodded and hugged Seto tightly.
He was called into action a few minutes later.
