A/N: WOW! Two chaps within a day? O.o COOL!!! This one's an experiment. They're not exactly poems, but each 'stanza' is in haiku form. If you don't know what a haiku is, count the syllables in each line of each stanza, and you'll get it. Haikus are normally not used for dialogues, but I thought it would be interesting to do, so I picked two scenes from the series to practice on. The stanzas go back and forth between two people in the scene. I'm thinking of doing my own short stories in this form. Please enjoy! ^_^ ~NB~

~*Why*~

Please don't follow me.

I can't tell you why because...

You'll be in danger.

*

Why...what do you mean?

We can't just let you go now!

It's our job you know!

*

You're job or you're life!

This is as far as we go.

It's been fun! Stay back!!!

*

It's more than my job...

Can't you see that I'm worried!?

Please don't walk away.

*

~*Understanding*~

You don't understand.

Why won't you say anything...

About yesterday?

*

Oh...I just don't know.

Because what you said was true,

And he was right too...

*

What would you have done?

Please don't look at me like that.

Well? What would you do?

*

I really don't know.

I don't...I don't like it when...

People have to die.

*

That's not good enough!!!

I wanted to protect him...

It's not just my job.

*

So you wanted to...

If it meant killing a child?

I see...It's okay.

*

~*From Legato*~

I will, just for you.

Yes master, he will suffer.

All eternal pain.

*

That was extra! ^___^

A/N: You like? Please tell me if I should further explore my 'haiku story' idea. Limiting myself to a certain number of syllables forced me to get a little creative. Flames and all forms of criticism is appreciated. ^_^ ~NB~
