A/N: As you can tell, I decided to seperate the parts. And yes, the whole thing is in poem format. If you don't like, go away. :- Here is part two. The begining is still in Heero's pov, but our beloved Duo finally makes his appearance. He is sooo in love with his partner... Well, who can blame him?
Friend of Shinigami
Part Two
No mercy
Going through these days
taking missions one by one
nothing else matters till they are done
I am hated for this single-mindedness
for I care of nothing-not even myself
endless war is all I have ever known
without a father, with my mentor
inside myself, and those around me
given wings of a living angel
blessed or a cursing, I don't know
and wanting nothing but to complete my mission or to die
my comrade, my friend, Shinigami
endless talker, continuously happy, so full of life
but marked as death
though he loves life more than anything
why?
Is this the humor of God
or are we just playthings to mess with our minds
what of our minds belong to us?
I am a weapon of war
my body, a toy for my mentor's revenge
my mind-almost gone
no feelings, no emotions
all destroyed by my maker
nothing left but logical weaponry thinking
Shinigami, my friend
where is your mercy?
why do I not die?
Angel, my friend
I can't show you mercy, that is my curse
I need you alive, for me to live
for once I die, there will be no forgiveness for such a God of Death
it's such a strange name and marking
for one who bears the cross and one of cloth
You are my salvation and redemption
Angel, my friend
How am I your redemption Duo?
How can I be the one?
I am alone-care of nothing
do not expect me to save you.
The braided pilot laughs.
You were given wings to live
I given a scythe to die all deaths
You want to die
I want to live
We will get from each other what we want
It's funny isn't it?
He turns to me
how am I to answer
realizing the irony of our lives
and why we are together
but I don't want to face this
no, not just yet
he stands there, in his amiable way
waiting, expecting an answer
I turn and walk away, how I hate what I do to him
I was given the wings to do this
but all I do is kill without a thought
I have to get away
here with him is not where I should be
I've started to care for Shinigami
fate is never fair
He laughs once more
but it has changed
It is harsh-mocking me
I shut my eyes
trying to ignore it all
Good-bye Shnigami, I say
You'll be back, he answers
we both know this
but that is all that needs to be said
I keep killing
ignoring the world around me
going onto the next mission
not looking back-just moving on
I know I will return to him
you can not live without a death
for now is good-bye
and later return.
