Shattered Soul

A/N: Here it is, the sequel to Shattered Ring! (Although you don't have to read it to understand this.) I apologize for any weirdness in this chapter, as I'm typing this up at 6:00 a.m. with a bad headache... :)

Warnings for this story are as follows: yaoi and shounen-ai (Noa x Mokuba, Yami Yuugi x Yuugi, Marik x Malik, with maybe a bit of Katsuya x Seto later on), depressing stuff, and short chapters. Hey, it's poetry. Now, a word about chapter format- each chapter will be from the point of view of the character that it's named after. So this is the Mokuba chapter.

Sorry for the long intro, but I had to clear stuff up. One more thing, Mokuba is in a wheelchair since one of the chapters in Shattered Ring; this story takes place three years later, so he's about thirteen or fourteen. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

separation

separation, it's what I crave, it's what

well it's what I need (if I'll ever have my own life)

more than anything else in the world I must be separated

from him, from Seto, to whom I lost my identity... I'm

I'm just some part now.

a piece of him, a cog and wheel-

another machine and he's oh so ruthless with his machines-

throwing them out or changing them

whenever they don't work, don't please him like they're supposed to and

and I'm scared.

even through all the kind smiles

the sad smiles

the proud smiles when last week I felt

(thought I felt)

a pain in my numb right leg, that broken part. even pain

is worth sighing over now, worth the claps and the happiness

and he looked so happy, so happy it was

odd... but

but I don't care. I don't care for those

hugs and kisses like I'm glass. I'm broken,

bad goods, and so

do I have a right to want something so precious

as love? can I wish for

someone to sweep me off these damaged legs and kiss me and hold me high

and love me for me and not for him?

well find out fast, know soon

get away, for he sees in you himself, and forgot who you are

you know Seto would always love you but never let you go... you, his innocence and youth

Gah. Long chapter. Sorry everyone, but some might be shorter than this. I hope everyone understood it... I'll update soon unless dire circumstances stop me.:)
