A/N: Not a songfic; the first chapter is just written this way because it explains the reason I chose this title for the story. Got it? Good. Next chapter acutally starts the story. (This is mostly sort of just a long author's note, in other words.)

Lemme explain myself: Duality means "the quality of having two usually contradictory parts or opinions." So it's sort of like an inner conflict thing, the way I'm doing it anywho, which is why this is the intro. You can skip if you want, it's just the lyrics, but for anyone who hasn't heard the song or doesn't know the words, I suggest reading. Not necessary to the story.

Disclaimer: No Inu characters in this story yet, but I don't own Slipknot's song, so I guess I still have to put up a disclaimer.

Intro-Duality (Slipknot)

I push my fingers into my eyes...

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on...

I have screamed until my veins collapsed

I've waited as my time's elasped

Now all I do is live with so much fate

I've wished for this, I've bitched at that

I've left behind this little fact

You cannot kill what you did not create

I've gotta say what I've gotta say

And than I swear I'll go away

But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise

I guess I'll save the bset for last

My future seems like one big past

You're left with me 'cause you've left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes...

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on...I'm not gonna make it

Put me back together

Or separate the skin from bone

Leave me all the pieces

And then you can leave me alone

Tell me the reality is better than the dream

But I've found out the hard way

Nothing is what it seems

I push my fingers into my eyes...

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on...I'm not gonna make it

All I've got...all I've got is insane

I push my fingers into my eyes...

It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache

But it's made of all the things I have to take

Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside

If the pain goes on...I'm not gonna make it

Ok, no reviews necessary for this chappie...just go on to the next chapter. THIS IS NOT A SONGFIC! I REPEAT, IT'S NOT A SONGFIC! Although I do use song titles and quotes, I don't write it in what is fondly known as "song-prose". So don't get huffy about this! I promise it's not all like this! Ok? Good! Next!
