From SilvernFalcon: This is a sort-of dark, semi-angst Kaiba POV fic. Seto is reflecting on the death of his brother. The music lyrics are italicized and underlined. They're from 'My Immortal' by Evanescence. I don't own 'My Immortal' nor Yu-Gi-Oh. Also, to my CYOA readers: Currently, my CYOA fics are up on Mediaminer.org under 'SilvernFalcon'. I will continue them and write more, but I'm taking a break.
.Dark Illumination.
.Reflecting.
I let the rain fall onto my face. I savored the cold. I let the rain seep through my coat and hair...
I want to let the rain drench the earth... let it wash away all emotion...
-I'm so tired of being here
Mokuba... Mokuba...
-Suppressed by all my childish fears
Innocent little Mokuba... the sliver of life and happiness that kept me human all these years...
...Gone?
-And if you have to leave
Was he really gone?
...I do not know how to answer.
-I wish that you would just leave
I feel his presence, but his life...
-'Cause your presence still lingers here
His life faded away and I cannot accept it.
How, how could Mokuba, so gullible and innocent, be gone?
-And it won't leave me alone
Dead...
Dead...
Dead...
Why? Why? What did innocent, carefree, sweet young Mokuba do that was wrong to have his life swept away from his body and mind, just like that...?
Out of the blue...
I cannot bring myself to believe that he is gone... no... I cannot...
-These wounds won't seem to heal
I won't allow it!
...But that I cannot control... life and death are both things that I have no power over...
Why?! Why take away Mokuba's life and not mine instead?!
-This pain is just too real
Mokuba... Mokuba didn't deserve it...
-There's just too much that time cannot erase
... I did.
Little Mokuba was caught in the middle of everything I went through...
When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
...
--You used to captivate me
I am unable to show any emotion...
--By your resonating life
I find myself, in a way... unable to live...
--Now i'm bound by the life you left behind
Mokuba was my life.
He was my star, my light, a beacon through the darkness, calling to me...
--Your face it haunts
He was why I strove for perfection.
--My once pleasant dreams
When we were young, our parents died... we were sent to an orphanage...
--Your voice it chased away
We both went through hardship...
--All the sanity in me
I took the brunt of the blow of reality...
I wanted him to be better off...
-These wounds won't seem to heal
I turned against him... even... used him... when I tried to take over Kaiba Corporation...
-This pain is just too real
I manipulated life at the Kaiba mansion and the KaibaCorp Headquarters... I made our stepfather think that Mokuba was a traitor to me... I made everyone think that Mokuba was traitorous and deceiving...
I needed to do that so my plan could work... My plan to take over Kaiba Corporation...
I feel ashamed.
-There's just too much that time cannot erase
A company mattered more to me than my own brother...
When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
...
--I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
The world...
--But though you're still with me
It is full of death...
--I've been alone all along
Full of death...
When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
...
Death...
...Death...

From SilvernFalcon: Send me a flame and I'll feed you to the Devourer. Should this be a one-shot, or should I continue? If I will make this a continuation, I'll state the cause of death in the next chapter.
