Alone: A Bastian Misawa Story
Hi, again from your friendly neighborhood Peach WookieeAgain, thanks to all of you who are reading and reviewing my stories, including the most recent "Political Revenge." And so we come to a new story that requires that it be a one-shot in its own right. This story is at the request of Princess Lena aka Princess Kittuna, and it's about Bastian Misawa.
I wasn't sure I knew enough to grant her request to write a fiction about Bastian and why he joined the Society of Light. However, I think I know enough now. Princess Lena, I hope you like this one…
My name is Bastian Misawa. I was, until recently, a member of the Ra Yellow dormitories at Duel Academy. Now, I have been a member of the Society of Light, a group that recently came to the campus. Everyone here wears white and seems to have a sense of camaraderie. Everyone, that is, but me. I doubt anyone else realizes this about me, but… I feel very alone.
Last school year, I made friends for the very first time in the forms of Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes. They were with me through duels, normal and rather strange. They accepted me though I am admittedly unusual. I am, by most accounts, a mathematical genius and smart with just about everything else. But until I met these fellows, I hadn't truly had friends.
But this year, our second year here, something came between us. Part of me likes to think my friends abandoned me because they were better duelists. Further, they got a lot of glory. I beat Chazz and I nearly beat Jaden, and yet it seems like no one knew me or my name. But the other part of me realizes… I may have shut myself away from them by saying I had to study or that I had to be at a class. Right now, I'm not entirely sure of the truth. I'm in the Society of Light where we're supposed to see the truth, but I'm not really seeing it.
I purposely threw my duel with Chazz a few days ago in order to become a member of the Society. I felt good at first. People were welcoming me. But now…I'm being ignored again. Master Sartorius obviously doesn't think I'm good enough. I've asked him to let me duel Jaden or anyone who stands in the Society's way, but he doesn't think I'm worthy.
Among the White students, it's as if I don't exist. I find myself wondering if I should've chosen to win that duel with Chazz, removing the Society of Light from Duel Academy forever. I thought I was alone before. I am sure of one thing…I am alone now…
And that is Bastian's monologue. Princess Lena aka Princess Kittuna, I hope you liked this! Read and review, everyone!
