Hey guys! I noticed that there are fanfictions with Yuzu and ALL THE YU'S but none with Yuya and all the ladies…? Additionally, I LOVE Rin's backstory and design…(ESPECIALLY her design...such a pretty pastel color palette and curly pale green hair…*sighs*).
The character-design-dork in me aside, however, I was SO sad to find that these lovelies not even don't have any fanfiction or fanart...but don't even have a SHIP NAME.
So I present to you; MelonShipping!
Please read and Reveiw, lovelies~!^^
Oooooooooooooooo
Chapter 1: Bitter Melon, Sweet Melon
The days were passing by in a blur.
Much like Satellite when she drove through it at top speed on her duel-runner; a muddy, dirty blend of colors that she wished she could escape...that she'd worked hard to escape. Her efforts, however, were, infact, for nothing. Her childhood friend, her dear, precious-brother figure had died trying to save her. His soul now trapped within the body of a different-dimension version of himself, along with one another.
So many lives lost. So many dreams lost with them.
Why had she had to allow herself to be taken? She was strong...she knew she was strong. Strong enough to escape the fate life had dealt her, and take Yugo and all the orphans with her. She'd worked hard to become that strong, together with Yugo. Their dream so close to becoming a reality, only to be snatched away.
Why?
She remembered now...the boy she'd fought. Reddish-purple eyes shining out from under a hood. A frightening color, but an all-too familiar shape. A familiar voice to boot, the cruelty in it's tone causing her hands to shake with every card drawn. The boy kept reminding her of Yugo. The way he stood, his voice, his eyes, the confident way he drew his cards…
...her head hadn't been in the game, and it had cost her her freedom.
Freedom that had cost Yugo his life in order to be regained.
Tears filled Rin's amber eyes as she gazed up into the cloudless sky, spilling down over porcelain cheeks, and making the flower-like girl look even more fragile and vulnerable. A flower wilting without it's sun. Her sobs and sniffling were quiet, nearly silent as she continued to stare blankly up at the empty sky.
Then, suddenly, her wrist felt warm. The sudden heat startling her, and capturing her attention as she gazed down at her wrist.
It was…glowing?
Why?
Why now, when Yugo was dead, and she was alone in her polluted dimension…?
The glow of the bracelet concentrated, then shot out like a projector beam into the sky. Wiping the tears from her eyes, Rin looked up curiously at what the beam showed;
It was a strange view…as if she was down, looking up at a boy sitting on a bridge. He was shaking and sniffling, goggles down over his eyes. His mouth moving in silence, but she could catch the word "Why?" repeated on his lips just like it kept repeating in her own mind. Huddling over, the boy lifted his goggles from his eyes…
…tears spilled out. Overflowing down his face and revealing bloodshot, puffy eyes. The boy trying so hard to get himself to smile, only to break down into more silent sobs at the end of every attempt.
Crying in Silence.
Just like she herself.
Her heart went out to this unknown boy, and without thinking, she lifted a hand, the one with the bracelet, in an attempt to reach out to him. To him and the empty feeling of loss that plagued his red eyes just as much as it plagued her own amber ones.
Lights burst out like stars, blinding her with their brightness…
…and then, she was very wet…
…surrounded by water…
…drowning…
…a hand still reaching out.
oooooooooooooooo
She was gone.
His soul was a mix of his own and the souls of strangers, and the one person who grounded him, who helped all the muddled nonsense make sense, his best friend…
…was gone.
No swing of the pendulum would bring her back. No amount of smiles would make the loss of her less painful…nothing. Nothing worked. Nothing helped.
Sobbing quietly, he clutched the necklace hanging from his neck, ripping it off.
"What good does this do me!?" he shouted in anguish, pulling his arm back and making to throw it off the bridge and into the water below…
…the sound of splashing stopped him.
A small, pale hand forcing itself out of the water, reaching out. Someone was there, drowning below.
The necklace wound up dropped onto the bridge behind him as he leapt off. His instincts kicked in as slamming into the water pushed the air from his lungs, and still he went on, grabbing that hand. Pulling it towards him.
Another appeared, and he grabbed it too.
Wrapping both arms around his shoulders, he swam to the surface to get air for them both, then swam to shore. Hoping his determination and adrenalin would be enough to save them both. oooooooooooooooo
Aaaaaaand I'm ending this chapter there.
Who is Yuya crying for…? Make your bets now, folks!
Please Read, Reveiw, and maybe even Favorite if you like the story so far!
And HEY…if you've got the time, please check out my little sister's 5Ds fanfiction; "Reality", and the amazing 5Ds oneshot, "Mentor" that inspired it!
And with that…I bid you all farewell for now! See you later, lovelies~!
Edit: Sorry guys! I accidentally copy-and pasted a paragraph in the story while writing it, and it appeared twice! In this version...that has been fixed. However, I'm not fixing much else, so please remember that this chapter was written before my amazing roomate offered to edit this for me. It only get's better from here.^^
