Inu: "This song is most likely my all time favorite from Marina McBride."
Yami: "But it's so depressing!"
Inu: "I know, every time I hear it I want to cry."
Yami: "And you made me sound like the devil!"
Inu: "It's the point of the song… Now disclaimer my slave!"
Yami: "Inu does not own Martina McBride's song Cheap Whiskey. Nor does she own Yugioh!"
Inu: "There now you can't sue me!"

song lyrics
Cheap Whiskey
He sits all alone in his easy chair
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove him away
Yami sat in his recline thinking about what happened between him and Yugi. He knew he had a drinking problem. But before Yugi left him he would never had admitted it.
It was because of the drinking that Yugi left him. He never hurt Yugi when he was drunk… or at least he never thought he did. But that one night, Yami had a little too much to drink and Yugi was sick of it. He tried to tell Yami he needed to stop drinking. Yami wouldn't listen to him so Yugi started to dump the whiskey.
Yami was so mad and tried to stop Yugi. When that didn't work… Yami back handed him. To say that was the last straw is obvious. Yugi packed his things and left.
In his hand he is holding his photograph
His image all tear-stained and worn
Yami looked at the photograph of him and Yugi, it was from before Yami started drinking. They were smiling and embracing each other. Since Yugi left he had yet to let it go. He just held it and cried his eyes out. His heart breaking more and more as each second passed by.
'How could I let it go on for this long? I should have known he wouldn't put up with it for long. We used to be so happy.' Yami thought and more tears fell onto their picture.
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the day he was born
Yami stood up and started to pace. The house seemed so empty and dead without Yugi, His little light, His life.
He looked out the window and sighed. It has been three days since Yugi left and it was becoming all the more clearer to Yami, that he was not coming home.
Yami sunk to his knees and cursed at himself. 'I am so stupid.' He punched the floor as more tears fell. 'I'm so sorry Yugi, I miss you so much.'
And the darkness still echoes his warning
You can't have two loves in your life
In the back of Yami's head he could hear Yugi's final words to him before he left. "Yami! I have had it! I'm leaving you. You can't have two loves in your life."
'I can't believe I chose cheap whiskey over my own Aibou.' Yami thought.
He stood and walked into the kitchen and looked at the bottles of whiskey Yugi was dumping down the sink before Yami hit him.
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey was intoxicating. He wasn't sure if it was out of anger or regret, but he picked up the bottles and started smashing them.
He went around the house to all his hiding places and started dumping them down the drain and smashing them.
He could still hear the sound of the front door closing and Yugi's car starting. He took a deep breath and all he could smell is that damned cheap whiskey.
He cleaned up the glass and dumped it into the garbage can and carried it out side. He went to the bathroom, shaved his beard and took a shower.
Since the hour that he left he's been sober
Yami looked in the mirror and smiled. He was clean and his head was clear. But that to him was not necessarily a good thing.
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded his love for a drink
For each breath he takes he automatically thinks of what happened between him and Yugi. What he put Yugi through, what he did to him, how he treated him. He was so stupid. Nothing could ever mean more to him then his Aibou, but he made Yugi think that something could…. and something as insignificant as cheap whiskey.
And now because of that his little light was gone from his life, and the house and his heart is dark.
Yami looked down. 'All because I traded his love for a stupid drink.'
And the darkness still echoes his warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Yami took in a deep breath as it seemed that Yugi's warning echoed around the house. "Yami! I have had it! I'm leaving you. You can't have two loves in your life."
He looked into his deep crimson eyes and said to his reflection. "I know Yugi, and if I could do it again… I would pick you."
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Yami picked up what was left of the whiskey and put it into a box. He then carried the box outside and threw it onto the pile of garbage and took a deep breath…
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
But all he could still smell was the cheap whiskey.
He walked back in and lit some candles and sat in his chair again holding Yugi's picture and listening to the sounds of Yugi's goodbye and his warning to Yami that continued to play in his mind.
It was something he will never forget no matter how long he lives now.
Inu: "I was thinking about making a second chapter where he gets Yugi back, maybe using another one of Martina's song… If I can find one that's lyrics are like that. But only if you guys want me to, because if you don't then there is no point in doing it."
Yami: "Except for your own entertainment."
Inu: Glares "Yami why are you even here! Your light is my muse not you!"
Yami: "Yes but this song revolves around me, not him."
Inu: "Valid point."
Yami: "We would love it if you reviewed please!"
