Untitled Document 62
And you cannot fight the tears that ain’t coming
In a world that’s as dry as the sea.
When everything’s meant to be broken,
Break everything that you can see.
And never’s a long time for me,
A century or maybe three.
When Heaven falls,
I see you right there,
Sacred and scared without me.
Should I or maybe I shouldn’t,
Fly away with you or not.
Heaven and Hell—
As I flee from them all—
You’ve hurt me so much
Can’t you tell?
Great Demon Lord I am,
A slave, yeah, you see so,
You summon me, then
I’m forced to oblige.
Why, oh, why won’t you let me go?
Whack me about just a bit;
Shmack me a few good times too.
Your cruelty’s too much, little Shrine Girl,
Even for one such as you.
I run and you come,
I hide and you seek,
I cry and you laugh,
You make me feel weak.
My freedom I crave,
My true form I do want
A lasting piece of my self—
This you use but to taunt.
Light of Good,
Light of Evil,
Of Darkness unbound.
Two worlds yet as one;
I stand on that ground.
A soul of Ludola,
A body of Destruction,
A heart of Pure Gold,
Yet without function.
Immortality’s mine—
Not to live my own life.
A creature of service,
I’m bound without right.
And I cry in the night
On the roof as I stand,
A creature of woe,
You summoned me then.
In your presence I sober.
Apathy—my design.
You order me over;
My will, forced to resign.
I dislike you so much,
Girl of the Shrine.
Your ancestor Enno
Took what freedom was mine.
Summoned from the Astral plane,
Realm of Demons and Swords,
Demon Prince ZENKI,
I—The Greatest of Lords.
Omnipotent power!
Mine to control.
Forth comes the ward—
I’m under his hold.
Protecting his sect—
Justification for his act.
He stole my power,
And I freakin’ want it back!
Now I look at you here,
Centuries then since.
Hatred I feel,
Hardened from whence.
You look down on me, Girl,
Not just from size,
Towering above me,
Then you spit out some lies.
Force me to serve you;
I cannot deny
Your orders of virtue.
My, your tongue!
How it doth fly.
Out in battle, I try,
I kill all that you want.
See something that ticks you?
Just point. It will die.
I’m the strongest of all—
Lord ZENKI of Fire!
All tremble beneath me
ALL!
Watch now, they fall!
Opponents, they come,
On your whimsical fancy—
Predestine their fate; my fate—
Close my eyes. . .
It’s too late.
Thumbs up, they live,
Bestowed, your grace upon them,
Grow fickle and then,
Thumbs down. . .
Damn you I hate!
The wind blows in the North,
And birds sing to the East;
I cry to the South,
And you rest in the West.
A Prophecy is said,
One which brings joy to my heart,
Of a time that flows bright cherry,
When you and I shall part.
Possessed by The Dragon,
A power so great
Shall break the torturous spell
And reveal me my fate.
One where none control me
Or give orders to kill;
Freedom to choose
Is mine how to deal.
And on that day,
Your head on a pike,
Placed there by me
And my hellish right.
So many demons I face,
And I kill them all night,
And I don’t even know why I care;
Why it hurts so much to fight.
I cry out to the night in vain,
Gasping, filled with sobs and burning shame.
Nothing you say, nothing you do,
Will beat back the blame.
Girl!
What the hell did you do?!
I’m weak and I’m soft
And I haven’t a clue!
What gives?!
Damn you, Shrine Girl,
It’s all ’cause of you!
I freakin’ care!
A stir, I feel,
In my frozen heart—
Is that me?
Is that you?
Is it for you?
Anju fell;
Sohma cried.
Guren fell;
Karma lied.
Gothra fell;
No one cared,
Inugami fell;
Someone sighed.
I considered them weak.
If only I’d known
That it felt like this.
I fell,
And you died
In a puddle of blood
Hovering over me.
Your strength, you gave me;
My life, you returned.
Exchanging the vows,
My chest—it hurts.
Damn Girl,
Why’d you have to do it?
You showed your true courage;
My passion you lit.
Excited, I sit.
But now that you’re gone,
A shadow descends and blots out the sun,
And I’ll have you know I did good;
I blasted those Kisama’s!
Against evil I stood!
I felt rage!
True and unbound,
A growing fury that I found.
I made them all pay, Chiaki,
I made them all pay,
Just for you.
I grieve, and I cry,
Feel pain that I hide.
And I scream to the sky,
I yell for you back!
Come back to me, Shrine Girl;
I’ll hate you as much as I once did if you want,
I kick and I’ll not listen,
Talk back and curse your name,
Growl in your presence and plot your final demise,
If only you come back.
It’ll be like it once was.
Only, the truth, I will forever know.
In my dreams, it will haunt;
At every touch, my breath I’ll hold.
Find myself staring at you,
Longing and wishing,
Hoping and pleasing,
A dream in a haze of clouds,
Come Back!
I lean down to your body,
Stained red and black by both our escaping lives,
Carnage all around us.
Caused by you;
Caused by me;
Caused for you by me.
I hold your body, cold, no longer like mine,
And I kiss your hair.
Pain!
It hurts so much!
Long and deep,
Feelings pound my soul.
I hold you.
And I cry.
Curse this world!
And the reasons why!
You were envious behind that veil of white silk,
Arrogant behind your ancestry of Enno,
Evil behind your Draconian white wings.
You were Chiaki Enno,
And I, Demon Lord ZENKI,
Your Shikigami;
Your guardian.
I stare into your closed eyes,
Envision them black,
Like my Heart must have been once.
Brush your lips,
Crimson, like your heart must have beat once.
Can you see my soul?
I can see yours.
It’s not as pretty as you thought.
It may have been once,
but not anymore.
And mine,
It’s changed as well.
You saw to that.
Maybe I can call to you, and you’ll come back,
Float down, or up, from where you are,
and come back ?
Could I hold you then?
Kiss you?
Would you let me?
Your eyes might open
And shine a beautiful midnight black,
Sparkle without lack,
And you’d see; you’ll realize
That it was me.
I was the one.
I wished for this for so long.
Your death. . .
Please, Chiaki, I was wrong.
Come back to me?
I hold you still,
Your skin warmer now,
From me?
Your hair still filled with a gleaming, violet luster,
Your frail body still in my arms,
Your head to my chest,
I hold you so close.
Leaning over you,
I hold you down.
If I still speak to you,
Then you can’t leave me;
Not yet.
But I don’t want to speak.
I never could,
No exception now.
Chiaki.
Are you really gone?
Have you really left me?
I’m cold, Chiaki,
Can I borrow some of your warmth?
Would you mind?
I don’t care.
Not anymore.
Anything can come now.
I will protect you.
I will keep you safe.
I will keep you beautiful.
I promise.
So please come back?
Please come back to me.
Please?
I’ll be good;
I’ll be bad;
I’ll be whatever you want me to be,
Just please don’t leave me,
Don’t leave me alone.
I touch your face,
No reaction.
Have you really gone?
I don’t want you gone.
I want you here
With me.
I dream you awaken—
what would you do?
I sigh.
You are gone;
There are no more dreams.
Were there ever any?
You will never abuse me with your power;
Ever.
You’ve been gone
Ages it seems.
I lean down to say farewell.
Gomen,
Forgive me,
For what I’ve done;
For what I did;
For what I might do.
I forgive you.
So, please,
Forgive me.
With one final touch, I will seal this promise.
Light and Darkness meet
In patterns thought not possible.
I should have left you
Then and there.
Or killed you
And not had to suffer this agonizing ordeal.
My lips come closer to yours;
My heart hurts so much.
How can this pain hurt so much
And feel so rightly deserved?
I deserve it,
I know.
Heaven shields its light from me;
Hell keeps its warm welcome for itself, uninviting.
I stole the light;,
Ludola,
And now both worlds
in opposite terms
Have cast their shameless pity on my fate.
I don’t care, though.
I draw closer to your warmth.
Our lips almost one.
Forgive me, Shrine Girl,
Chiaki.
Our parting will not be in words but with a kiss,
The only expression of my true feeling ever given for you.
My final farewell.
Our lips meet.
And I feel heaven for the final time.
“Eh? ZENKI?!”
“Ch—Chiaki?”
She lives?!
She’s alive!!!
“ZENKI!”
“Chiaki!!”
SHMACK!!!
“ECCHI!!!
HENTAI!!!
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!!
What the KUSO do you think you’re doing!!!!!!”
“OWW!!!
That HURT!”
“Serves you right!
Trying to take advantage of me while I was unconscious!
ZENKI! How could you,
You little Hentai!”
“Hentai?! Me!
I’ll have you know that if it weren’t for me you’d be dead right
now!”
“Hmph!
Baka! It’s your job as my Shikigami to protect me!
Now I order you to take me home so I can chain you up and properly
punish you!”
“Kisama!!!”
“Kanje kuso me!!!”
“Aggghhhh!!!!!”
“Grrrr!!!!!”
I smile.
I, Demon Lord Zenki,
Have fallen.
