Ryou was doing his homework, having a hard time with a math problem.

I considered for a moment before appearing from the ring.

He seemed startled and I saw the fear in his eyes as I walked closer.



~ Everytime I look into your eyes I see the pain I've caused. ~



"The answer is two thousand seven hundred and forty-six." I said to him.

"What?" He blinked.

"The answer you idiot!" I snapped then instantly felt guilty.

He flinched and slowly looked at the paper.

Why do I have to always lose my temper..



~ You've never seen me as I see myself, alone and afraid, ~



Everyone thinks I'm a monster for treating him like I do. They don't know why I do it.

I order him around and tell him how to live, if he disobeys me he adds another bruise to his collection.

The man who raised me called it proper punishment, but what do I call it? Now that I think about it, I call it abuse.

I've put him through what I went through, but he's not me....I realize that now.



~ I act as if you were me, but then you wouldn't be you. ~



He knew I was staring at him, I could see him tremble.

"I'm sorry.." I said.

He looked up at me from his position in his chair, confusion clear.

I closed my eyes tightly shut as the tears leaked out.

"I-I'm sorry for hurting you all those times..now I see what I've done wrong.."

He'll never forgive me......How can he?......



~Now I've seen the error of my ways but it may be too late, it's shattered into so many pieces. ~



"I don't want you to be afraid of me anymore..." I managed to choke out.

I heard him stand up and walk closer.

I opened my eyes and they locked with his.

"I...I'm sorry....." I whispered. Then I disappeared back into the ring to cry on my own.

I lay on the floor of my soul room with my face buried in my arms.

My emotions were too much for me to handle so they swept over Ryou as well, I couldn't even try to stop them.

I could feel his presence, he had entered my soul room.

"You really are sorry...." I heard him whisper as if he were shocked.

If I were him I'd have trouble believing me too...



~ I know I've given you no reason to trust me, ~



Suddenly he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me.

As I sat surprised, I looked up at him from my place and saw the kindness in his eyes.

"I forgive you." He said.

"Y-you do? But how can you after all I did?" I asked.

"You seem to know what you've done, so now 'I'm sorry.' is good enough for me." He replied smiling.

He's forgiven me so easily...

"You're such a simpleton." I teased lightly and for the first time in a long time, I actually smiled.



~ Yet here you are now standing infront me, and smiling too, as you hand me the glue. ~

Everytime I look into your eyes I see the pain I've caused.

You've never seen me as I see myself, alone and afraid,

I act as if you were me, but then you wouldn't be you.

Now I've seen the error of my ways but it may be too late, it's shattered into so many pieces.

I know I've given you no reason to trust me,

Yet here you are now standing infront of me, and smiling too, as you hand me the glue.
