I hope you liked the last one because I have another two to do. I hope you like this one too.

Chapter 2

A young boy stood in front of an alter and sadly looks at a picture by the casket before making his speech.

*I learned how to write it when I first started school,

Some bully didn't like it; he said it didn't sound to cool,

So I had to hit him and all I said when the blood came,

It's my last name*

"People never thought high of me as I was growing up, because of my last name. The name my father had and my father's father and the line goes on. But every time someone ridicules my name I would hit him, because it's my name and I am proud of my name.

*Grandpa took off to Europe to fight the Germans in the war,

It came back on some dog tags nobody wears no more,

It's written on a headstone in the field where he was slain,

It's my last name*

My father fought for what he believed in, recognizing to only his last name. Except to my mother he wouldn't answer to anything else to anyone else. My father was proud of his name.

*Passed down from generations too far back to trace,

I can see all my relations when I look into my face,

May never make it famous but I'll never bring it shame,

It's my last name*

When I look in the mirror, I don't see me. I see the people that made me, the people that came before me and were proud of their names. I may not make my name famous but I'll never disregard it, or disrespect it because it is my last name.

*Daddy always told me far back as I recall,

Son, your part of somethin', you represent us all,

So keep it how you got it, as solid as it came,

It's my last name*

I am proud of who I am because I am the continuation of my family, my father taught me that.

*Passed down from generations too far back to trace,

I can see all my relations when I look into my face,

May never make it famous but I'll never bring it shame,

It's my last name*

Like my father, I may not be famous but the one thing I will always keep is my name. The name that has been in my family as far back as anyone can recall.

*So darlin' if you're wonderin' why I've got you her tonight,

I wanna be your husband; I want you to be my wife,

I ain't got much to give but what I got means everything,

It's my last name, oh, it's my last name*

When my father married my mother he had nothing to give her, nothing, but his last name. She didn't care if he wasn't the greatest guy in the world or if he wasn't very smart, she loved him for who he was and she took his name, which became my name.

*I learned how to write it when I first started school*

I will always be proud of my name and my father, Kuwabara Kazuma."

I liked that song when I first heard it and thought it would make a good story, all I needed was a story.
