Anyways, I bring you all my new fanfic: A Whisper in the Wind. I hope you all enjoy it and I thank you all for taking the time to read my work. n.n I give you all my luff.
Remember: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!
P.S. I'd also like to note that I don't use Japanese names. I don't like them too much, mainly because I don't commonly use them so I don't know them that well. You can ask Dark Conscience. She can verify that for me.
Prologue: A Reflection
A whisper in the wind. That's all it was. A simple whisper in the wind. Human? Inhuman? The wind itself? I did not know. All I know is this: It was there. I could hear it, I could feel it, I could sense it.
It was just that feeling that made you prickle all over with delight…and fear. Goosebumps crawled up my arms and my back. Scarily enough, the wind picked up so I clutched my pink coat closer to myself. It was autumn; the crisp yellow, orange, red, and green maple leaves decorated the trees around upon this concrete path I was walking upon.
The whisper still laid where it was, travelling on the wind, constantly beating upon me, but I didn't care. Things were finally starting to look up for me. Joey got the money for my eye surgery after winning Pegasus's tounament. I still couldn't believe he did that. He had spent all that money…for me. So we finally got to talk to each other after so long; how I had missed him.
That one day my mom drove me away, I remember Joey chasing after the car. I couldn't leave him; I didn't want to leave him. But I had to leave him; mom forced me to. I cried so hard that day, it seemed as if I would never stop. Joey was my older brother, the best brother I had in the whole wide world and my only friend at the time. We did everything together…and then everything just broke off on that one fateful day. Mom didn't know; mom didn't realize; mom couldn't understand. How could she ever? But I wasn't mad at her; that'd be so stupid to be mad at her for that. After I cried, I just moved on.
Then the doctor said that I'd be blind… This was many years after Joey and I had separated. Blind; Joey would be heartbroken, but what could I do? I didn't want to be blind and I could sense how much my mother didn't want it either. I had no choice; I had to do it. So I sent Joey a tape out of desperation. I taped myself; my mom didn't know about it. I knew Joey would be upset; but he was the only person I could think of who could help. I didn't want mom to hurt; I didn't want Joey to hurt. I wanted us to be a happy family again. So I sent him one single tape. I said I missed him, that I loved him, that I sent my best well wishes to him. And then, last of all, I told him about my problem. Never had I expected Joey to come through; never had I expected him to battle for me in Pegasus's tournament. I was so happy…but I was also scared. When he didn't show up at the hospital on the day of my surgery, I locked the door and refused to come out. I wouldn't come out without Joey there, standing by my side. I simply refused. And, after a while, I felt so hopeless that I didn't think he would come at all. But in the end, Joey pulled through for me, just like he had promised. So I went through with the operation, just like I'd promised.
During the Battle City Tournaments, I was able to repay him. I was scared to take off my bandages; scared to discover the fact that I was still blind. But once I heard Joey fall into that water; once I heard that splash, I couldn't take it anymore. Joey had gone through so much for me, I had to give him something back. I didn't care about the bandages at that point. All I wanted was to save Joey; to save my brother. I ripped off the bandages and dived in after him. After that, I've been travelling around with Joey, watching his duels and watching out for him…just like he's watching out for me. Every. Single. Day.
Things have died down a bit now though. Everything's calm and serene. It's just me, alone on this path right now. I said bye to Joey just a little bit ago and then I left him. I won't be gone for long, but I needed some time alone, some time to reflect.
I'm happy everything worked out; I really am. And now life is calm…and I'm happy with that. I'm happy with everything right now. I hope things don't change. And I know Joey and I will stay together. Always. Forever.
