"EASIER TO RUN"
By, ZERO-SAMA
NOTES: Yes
this is a song-fic, but when I copied from
ChibiChibi-Chan's original scripture, I had the concept of an actual AMV (anime
music video) in my mind. On another note, while reading it, it's a good idea to
have the song playing ("Easier To Run" - Linkin Park). It makes a bit more sense that way. It is
also a MUST to read NGW before you read this. Enjoy...
---------------------------------------------------------
FADE IN:
Shingo:
*under another desk* *sees Haruka pass by him, jumps out and points his gun at
Haruka's head*
Haruka:
*does the same at Shingo*
Shingo:
*looks at Seiya* What are
you trying to hide?
Seiya: What are you?
Seiya: ...feeling like you're looking in a mirror?
---------------------
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with
something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all the pain here
all alone
---------------------
Shingo:
*looks down at the water* Friends...
Shingo: ..What do you want now, Zero? *watches his reflection
speak with no words coming out but he still catches what it says and repeats
the word slowly* Sandstorm...
---------------------
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked
away
No one can ever see
---------------------
Ariel:
...*grabs his arm and looks at his wrist*
Shingo:
...
Zero:
You lied to me Shingo.
Shingo:
I lied?
Zero:
You said I would learn something. I fail to see what I've learned, if anything.
Zero:
I don't need to answer any of your questions
Atta: Because you know you're as guilty as you should be.
---------------------
Wounds so deep they never
show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my
head
For years and years they've
played
---------------------
Ariel:
...STOP THIS SHINGO!
Shingo:
Why? *looks at the match that was now lit* this is going to be fun.
Seiya: ...*hears Zero scream and fall back while dropping the knife to the
ground* That must've hurt. *looks at Zero covering his
face as blood runs between his hands*
---------------------
If I could change I would
---------------------
'Milliardo':
...I'll miss you...
---------------------
Take back the pain I would
---------------------
'Milliardo'
and Haruka pull out their guns and point them at each other.
---------------------
Retrace ever wrong move that
I made I would
---------------------
'Milliardo':
It was a mistake.
---------------------
If I could, stand up and
take the blame I would
---------------------
Haruka:
MISTAKE?!
---------------------
If I could take all the
shame to the grave I would
---------------------
'Milliardo':
Shit
---------------------
If I could change I would
---------------------
Both
fire their guns at each other the same time the door opens.
---------------------
Take back the pain I would
---------------------
Haruka:
...you still with us?
---------------------
Retrace ever wrong move that
I made I would
---------------------
'Milliardo':
*raises the gun to his head*
---------------------
If I could, stand up and
take the blame I would
---------------------
'Milliardo':
*pulls the trigger*
---------------------
I would take all my shame to
the grave
---------------------
Rena:
MILLIARDO-SAA!
------------------
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with
something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all the pain here
all alone
---------------------
Milliardo:
*thinking* Haruka... What happened? Why do I have this weird sinking feeling?
Haruka:
*moves Sandstorm out of the way and instead gets hit*
Shingo:
Stop it!
Taleb: *punches Haruka in the face and let's him go*
---------------------
Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
---------------------
Haruka:
*drops the gun and looks up* I've failed you, Michiru.
Ariel:
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I can't believe you're gone now. No, I
can't believe you gave up! You always do this! You're always giving up! Why?!
---------------------
Sometimes I think of letting
go
And never looking back
And never moving forward
So there'd never be a past
---------------------
Shingo:
...*watches Sandstorm stomp towards him*
Seiya's window cracks slightly as he falls off his bed to the floor...
Shingo:
*uncovers his face and looks up at the sharp daggers of shattered glass
pointing at him in the air*
---------------------
If I could change I would
---------------------
Shingo
shivered as another cold breeze went by...
---------------------
Take back the pain I would
---------------------
...with snow flying into his face...
---------------------
Retrace ever wrong move that
I made I would
---------------------
...He
walked out of the woods and onto a street...
---------------------
If I could, stand up and
take the blame I would
---------------------
...and
looked ahead of him at the lights from the city...
---------------------
If I could take all the
shame to the grave I would
---------------------
...Shingo
ran as fast as he could...
---------------------
If I could change I would
---------------------
...towards the nearest establishment...
---------------------
Take back the pain I would
---------------------
...and
nearly ran into a few people leaving...
---------------------
Retrace ever wrong move that
I made I would
---------------------
...as he ran into the warm building...
---------------------
If I could, stand up and
take the blame I would
---------------------
...He
slowly walked past people as they talked among themselves...
---------------------
I would take all my shame to
the grave
---------------------
...in a whispering level.
---------------------
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness
inside
Pretending I don't feel
misplaced
Is so much simpler than
change
---------------------
Duet:
Loser
Ariel:
Pathetic.
Ling:
Worthless
Haruka:
Murderer
Shingo:
*falls to his knees* It wasn't me! I swear! Just leave me alone! Go away! I
hate all of you! You never liked me in the first place! GO AWAY!
---------------------
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with
something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all the pain here all
alone
---------------------
Clone:
...*fires the gun just before Zero rips his arm off*
Zero:
...*gets the gun out of the severed arm's hand and fires it repeatedly at the
clone's head until it stops moving*
---------------------
It's easier to run
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move
that I made
---------------------
Duo:
...*takes out a rolled up newspaper and hits Trowa on the head repeatedly*...
Seiya: ...I'm going to wait.
Shingo:
For what?
Seiya: For the real Shingo
Winner. *gets up and starts walking away*
---------------------
It's easier to go
---------------------
Seiya continued staring across...
---------------------
If I could change I would
---------------------
...the room at Ariel...
---------------------
Take back the pain I would
---------------------
...until he managed to shake off the strange feeling...
---------------------
Retrace ever wrong move that
I made I would
---------------------
...and
looked back down at the manga...
---------------------
If I could, stand up and
take the blame I would
---------------------
...he
was hiding in a science book.
---------------------
I would take all the shame,
to the grave...
---------------------
Shingo:
*lifts his head and stares with a slightly cold glare* I want to die...
