A/N: Almost finished... I mentioned that Demyx's poem was second place in the "Fun to write" category; much to even my surprise, Xigbar's was the most entertaining for me. It gave me a way of seeing things that I didn't think about before, and it was fun to work with.
On that note, enjoy, read, and review.
"No. II: Xigbar, the Freeshooter"
By Erik Larence
Life is full of shots.
Shots can come from anywhere
And can hit anywhere,
But the most dangerous of all shots
Is the shot into the darkness.
Blind aim can be just as bad
As getting hit yourself.
Missing leaves you open,
And losing your life
Is the best you can hope for.
Through some twist of fate, though,
I've been given something shooters rarely get:
One… more… shot.
A/N: I worked my brain on how to write this one, and then it hit me after I wrote that first line. Everything after that just kind of spilled out onto the paper... That doesn't happen too often with me.
If Saïx is character without personality, then Xigbar is personality without character. He expresses more feeling than Saïx, but we never really got the chance to see why he acts the way he does. Without any insight into why he behaves like he does, I instead decided to go from another point of view: his weapon. I started thinking from a shooter/sniper perspective, and... well, you see the result.
