Prologue: Let Rain Wash Away the Memories
She watched silently beside the window of the crowded bus. She was in the very back, hanging onto the leather latch attached to a leather strap when signifying that she wanted to be left off, but she made no intention to let go, not now, and not ever until she reached the airport. Again, her light, honey-dipped eyes watched in silent sorrow as each rain drop slid down the window. She had made up a game long ago when she was six, during the times where fighting was always part of her day, where her father would leave for the entire day getting drunk and wasting valuable money and come back home late at night to torture them. She would always rest her head on the window pain at home in her room, all alone or with Jounouchi. Each raindrop, she thought of God's tears of sympathy and with each and every rain drop that went sliding down, she would make a prayer or a confession that she had eating at her for a while.
A bemused smile twitched at the corner of the woman's mouth.
She was so young than, never really making much trouble or gaining any guilt unless it was her childish naivety that made her think she had done something wrong. What a better time than now to play it. The woman looked back at herself for the past year, leaning against a steel pipe on the bus. For over the last twelve months she had ignored her brother, lied to him when he needed to know, used her friends as a cover up for her late night returns or when she never did get home, using Honda's and Ootogi's feelings to her advantage, and so many more…
The woman looked at a raindrop and whispered softly in prayer,
"Forgive me Lord, for my selfish needs for the past year…" She watched as another one joined it, she continued:
"…for using my loved ones to my satisfaction for my own needs…not looking out for their benefits or their feelings…"
She watched as the rain drop was blown away from the speed of the bus and continued on as another raindrop took its place,
"Forgive me Lord for following in the footsteps of your opposite; forgive me for not truly believing in your splendid light and following the dark path of sin that is his creation…"
A tear drop slipped gracefully down her cheek as the raindrop was blown away as well,
"Forgive me…"
The woman looked at her surroundings and let out a shaky breath…time for a new beginning, time to shut the hard cover on this painful story and write another. She was leaving for a better future, a future without him, without having to endure his taunting and humiliating and hurtful words.
"You were and still are nothing to me."
She squeezed her eyes shut in pain as his voice circled her head, laughing at her, just like whenever he would win a duel…laughing at the loser.
"You were nothing but a pawn in my game."
He always seemed to win, no matter what or when, date or time…She had hoped to change him for the better, but all along, he was the one scheming, not her, never her…always him, him and his manipulative mind.
"The game is done and in my favor, I have no more use for you."
The woman opened her eyes, unshed tears still pooled in her unyielding eyes. She was just another fling like all the others…a play toy who has reached her end. And like the others, she was thrown away to rot and decay, her soul to disperse when her body wouldn't.
"It was amusing while it lasted, to watch that pathetic mutt be crushed for all he's worth, and by the hands of the one he truly reconciled with, loved."
She remembered his dark chuckle of malice, the one that made her feel like a worthless piece of shit…vermin…everything he pronounced what her family was…dogs.
"Yo lady, this is the end of the line!" The woman cleared her thoughts, ignoring the taunting voice whisper in her ear as much as she could to find that all the seats were empty and it was night out. The woman slung over her bag of belongings over her shoulder and paid the man for the bus ride.
"Thank you." Her voice was soft and cautious. See what he did to her?
The woman walked down the sidewalk, opening an umbrella above her head and walked to the train station that would take her to Kyoto, where she would get her airline ticket and get the hell out of the hellish lands she was once proud to call her home.
The woman paid for her ticket and sat down in the cushiony seat, her bag near her feet for warmth. She propped her elbow on the window pane on her left, cupping her chin with her hand, her eyes finally letting go of the tears that so longed to be set free. She sang softly,
"Rain, rain, go away,
Come back another day."
I know, a sad attempt at a Kaiba/Shizuka/Malik I know, I know. It sucks. What do expect from me, this is my first attempt at a Yu-Gi-Oh! story! Besides, it's a nice sidetrack from my other story: Should I Chase After You? Tell me what you think, if I should delete and start over, or just forget about the darn thing. Oh! And who do you want to have Shizuka with? (Smirks deviously while sticking her tongue out) NOT TELLING! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Clears her throat)
