Hi!

¡DISCLAIMERS!

this is the first fanfic ive written in awhile, i will NOT be capitalizing things correctly unless i so choose!!

this is an AU written in freeform poetry before the present mercs join team fortress!!!

i do not own tf2, because if i did pyro would be a 17 year old girl...


(Kohaku Fujiwara [不死原 琥珀, 12 years of age. Nagasaki, Japan. 1963.)

i could feel the first flames in my palm,

ushering into my lungs.

why is the world so

q

u

i

e

t?

i wasnt sure.

but i remeber seeing that awfully

pretty

gorgeous

amazing

girl.

but okaa-san told me thats wrong.

girls like me shouldnt think like that

im no dirty street rat.

but she was cold to me

like i was one of them.

maybe that was why the flames felt

so

so

SO

good on my

cold

cold

COLD

skin.

i was going to miss my kimono

its crimson redder than my blood.

my obi

as emerald as the envy i felt.

my kanzashi

its golden petals outshining my joy.

maybe if life were different

i would be a better daughter

one fit to be a geisha

or even an oiran

maybe if i was lucky a shogun.

maybe i wouldve been saddened

by my mothers death

along with mine

that was soon to happen.

but i was happy

because i was clean

because i was pretty

ive always wanted to die that way.

so people would think i was fit

fit to be a daughter

for someone as great as my mother.

worthy enough to be my fathers spawn.
