Artificial Human

Leave it to Hiwatari Jr. to spoil everything.
Why does Balkov favour him now? Oh sure – he has Black Dranzer.
Big deal! I bet Wolborg would kick his sorry ass in no time. So he’s Boss’
grandson? Seeing that the guy sent him here, he probably isn’t all that fond of
him.
I don’t like him! He’s annoying, stuck up and
has no taste whatsoever. Look at his clothes – no colours at all – and that scarf is ridiculous! He
doesn’t remember more than a half of his past and acts like he was the only
person with problems on the whole damned planet! And he cackles to himself.
Talk about stupid – everybody knows you cackle only when people can see and
hear you. Or maybe it’s his normal way of laughing? Talk about faults. Did I
mention he has a stick stuck his ass? Too high and mighty to talk with us!
We’re not good enough for him! Well, he should go back to that little team of his.
Then he won’t bug me.
Maybe Balkov likes him ‘cause he’s natural?
You know, not genetically improved like me?.. I mean, he was born like any
other kid and he was oh-so-lucky to have talent for beyblading out of thin air?
With no help from ‘outside’?
And what’s so great about Black Dranzer? It’s
just a copy! Wolborg maybe man-made, but she’s way better… and original! You
won’t hear me complaining about my holy spirit not being so holy and ancient. I
may have some major flaws, but I’m not a hypocrite. I’m artificial too…
No, I’m not an android! Androids are robots –
made of metal, plastic and wires… not bones, flesh and blood, like me. They
don’t feel, they only fallow their program, like any computer. And, quoting one
of those scientists, I’m biologically and psychologically human. The only
problem is that I was ‘made’ in a lab. They chose the genes, they did all the
scientific mambo-jambo and presto! We have one Yuri Ivanov!
And I do
have feelings, I just don’t show them… Well, it does show when I’m annoyed…
Anyway, it’s Boris, who’s the emotionless one. I like things, I get sad, I get
angry… The only difference between you and me is that nobody told about you: “I
want him/her have red hair and blue eyes. Can we arrange that?”
I wonder what would all those anti-cloning
people do, if they heard about me? I bet they’d flip out. No, I don’t like them
– if they had anything to say, I wouldn’t have been born. Nevertheless, I’d
love to see their faces, when they’d realize, that the thing they resent so
much is possible.
Yeah, I like attention. What’s so wrong about
that? Most people do. I may haven’t gotten the right share, when I was a kid,
but it’s not as if I didn’t get any. Most people can’t resist a sad looking
pretty child…
If I had such an imagination, I would start
writing stories – about people I
invented. Not about me for example. I didn’t get raped and I didn’t have sex
with anyone! Do I look like a nut-case or a whore to you? Anyway, how old do
you think I am?
I didn’t get beaten, either… All right so
earned a few slaps, not really that much, though. So what exactly is wrong? Most people, who know I’m genetically improved, don’t see me as human – that’s what!
Well, there are Ivan and Sergey, who don’t
really care. Nice to know that some people don’t give a damn you don’t have
parents and came out of some test tube. I’m here and I – usually – know what to
do… And I’m the one, who talks back.
All the scientists see me as a successful
experiment. They’re proud, all right – with themselves. You should hear them
talking… It’s as if I was some rat or some other thing you can happily make tests on. Who cares if I’m tired, hungry
and bored? I’m their little toy… Made by them to prove how great they are. And
of course it’s all for Science and for the Future! I wish somebody would start
experimenting on them.
It isn’t that bad here. I have food to eat
every day and bed… The basics everybody needs, but not everybody has. There was
this guard, a few years ago, who used to play with me and Ivan. Guess, he liked
us… He would bring us treats – because we ate them on the spot and nobody knew.
A pity he got moved somewhere else… I can’t find him anywhere.
I don’t like thinking or talking about all
that! Makes me sound like some whiny brat, who’s too weak to handle a bit of
trouble. And I really don’t have reasons to be upset – didn’t get beaten, don’t
starve, have fans and two friends… So what if there’s a bunch of people, who
think I’m not human?

A/N
Yeah, I know that Yuri is supposed
to be a cyborg. But since I didn’t see any cybernetic parts on that nice screen
in the underpants-scene episode, I’m not that convinced. Anyway, as far as I
know he was genetically engineered in the original.
Yes, Redhead doesn’t like Kai here. Tell me
what you want, but he didn’t seem to be fond of Kai at all.
What else? Result of a.) a brainwave, b.) being bored with Yuri being abused and raped – he doesn’t
act like an abuse or rape victim!
