KYUZO <3

Yup, those are my doodles of Kyuzo and I decided I wanted to spice it up a bit, so I wrote some stuff on there. It may be hard to read... so here are the words.... yeah, I got bored xD

No one lasts forever,
no memory lasts long enough.

Its not a matter of
Who d i e s . . .
But who dies first.

And when we breathe our last
Breathe, and see the fading rays of
Light . . . PERHAPS tomorrow will be
Better, away from here, in a place
Where w e c a n b e d e a d . . .
--- T O G E T H E R ?

In a place where we don't have
To search for a reason to
Live or a reason to Be.
A chance to try to live
Just a little this time...
Without someone else
Needing me. Rather,
In need of my skills.
For if was a man by
Any other name, it wouldn't matter
N O
O N E
W A N T E D
M E

Dancing on the line of
Life and Death,
I did.

Unafraid. Calm.
Swift. Effortless. Silent.

I am my only love. I sleep alone and I hold my own hand.
I lick my own wounds, keep my heart to myself. Stay away... for now.
Possibly, taking the last road out of this world
Will be my catharsis. My chance to be me . . .

MY CHANCE TO LOVE MYSELF &
for someone to love me.

I AM TIRED
OF BEING USED

LETMERSHOWYOU
WHOIAMINMYONE
LASTSTAND . . . . .

My life is not a story
Nor a fairytale. Let it
Fade into the Darkness.
---PLEASE
Not even I myself want
To remember my sins, my
Mistakes, my follies.

For I was
Only human then.

Except,
Death is not an
OBSTACLE anymore.

I AM
DEAD

I need not to be remembered,
For all that is worth remembering, has
Spilt b l o o d upon it...

&& though, I may have
Died amongst
a l l i e s ...........

I died alone, in my heart,
Because friends area weakness.
Because love is a weakness.
Because a killer gives
Up those things in order to be
Untouchable . . .

Yet that seclusion failed to
PROTECT ME

My heart was untouchable...
--- my actions uninfluenced..

BUT I have walked the last
Stretch of life.

So don't follow me, until your time
Comes. I'll be waiting here for you,
And maybe my heart can be free.

. . . WITH YOU . . .

Don't let me walk alone forever.
Every soul needs to be loved a little.
I can't wait for an eternity
T O P A S S - - -

I need a little love to last...
I've endured so long, closed up
inside. Will it be painful to
Let you inside?

Maybe,
I alone must suffer

For taking s o m a n y lives.
Being a samurai - is this the price?

THEN SO BE IT.
- - - - - - I walk alone.

((END)))
• • • silence?



But if I am not doomed to walk alone forever . . .
Can you teach me to love?

-------------------------------
AUTHOR'S NOTE: As if in the voice of Kyuzo... however, he would never say anything like this . . . nor allow himself to think things like this. So its just my take on what death would m e a n to him... what opportunities it will provide, and an overall kind of relfection on his life.
-------------------------------

Unfortunately, you will really not get this if you haven't seen the anime, Samurai 7 ): you should. Its unbelievably sad. Buuuuut, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, or want me to explain some things.... here's a bit of it:

"In a place where we don't have to search for a reason to live or a reason to be."
--- My interpretation on why Kyuzo joined the seven samurai group. He wanted a reason to live, instead of spending his days doing worthless things like being a bodygaurd for a little brat. He wanted a cause to fight for, a reason to use his skills.... a temporary chance to be useful again - like he had been during the Great War.

"I am my only lover. I sleep alone and hold my own hand. I lick my own wounds, keep my heart to myself, stay away..."
--- Reference to his very silent, mysterious, secluded manner. He would definitely not say any of this aloud, but I believe that he understands this to be true about himself. He emits hardly any emotion, rarely sleeps (everyone MUST sleep, but he probably does so in a very light, on-and-off manner) and does not have feelings for anyone... basically saying, the only one he hasn't limited himself from caring about, is himself.

"I AM TIRED OF BEING USED"
--- Ahhh, well... he IS a samurai. They serve their lord and die for their lord, no questions asked. Another reason for him going against the guy that hired him for protection. He resented Ukyo for bragging about the end of the samurai and how they no longer served a purpose in this age of economics and commerce... tired of being used by the government, tired of fighting for the wrong cause.


OMG NOTE - - - This is, in no way a Kyuzo x Kambei thing x) no no no no. I am severely against that pairing. Don't ask.
