Drabble: History
A/N:
Dedicated to drabblefish community. My fourth entry for the
challenges and first entry under the category of Yu-Gi-Oh! Inspired
by the pharaoh episodes and the match between Seto Kaiba and Yami
Yugi during the first season; not my expertise, so sorry.
Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh is not mine.
Yami Yugi was an enigma.
He remembered clearly his sheer determination to prove that the past was just as important as the present and the future. He remembered how Yugi's other personality defeated him in a friendly yet unfriendly way. (1)
All because of the past and because once upon a time in history, he was the High Priest of Egypt and Yami was his Pharaoh. Once upon a time in history.
Beyond that he had no idea why knowing his history could hurt him. There was nothing to be afraid of, he has Kaiba Corporation and he has his brother, Mokuba, safe and sound.
Seeing Yami though, brings forth uncertainties. The need to forget the past and move on was overwhelming. The need to defeat Yami and make him stop uncovering his history…their history was devastating.
Seto Kaiba was an idiot.
He remembered clearly his sheer determination to show him that the past was insignificant, that the future was the only thing to look forward to and that he has suffered enough to bare the pain once more.
He pretended to not remember so that Seto Kaiba will try to regain those memories in time. Hoping that he'd look beyond the Pharaoh and the High Priest in history, see what was really happening. Guess not.
Aside from that he had no idea what he'll do if Seto starts remembering too. But for now there was nothing to be afraid of, he has his aibou and he has Jiichan, safe and sound.
Seeing Seto though, brings forth more memories. Pleasant and unpleasant. Memoirs Seto wanted to forget. Memoirs Seto was always in. Memoirs that wouldn't seem to occur any time soon. Memoirs of his history…their history together.
A/N:
Extremely short. What can you expect from a drabble? Reviews are
welcome, thank you very much.
(1) The way I watched the episode, Yami said something like…he would defeat Seto as a friend and as an enemy.
