Me: "Yay the new story... A Lost Emotion."
Bakura: "Quinn, Why am I not in this story?"
Me: "Because, this is a story between sweet little Ryou and psychotic Melvin or Mariku. A Deathshipping!"
Bakura: "Whatever, at least the idiots that are Marik and Melvin have left us to live alone once again."
Me: "Ummm..."
Bakura: "Quinn! Don't tell me..."
Unknown: "Hello guys."
Bakura: "Bloody Hell!"
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, or anything invloved with it, only this story.
I glanced out the window at the darken sky. I could hear the ticking of the grandfather clock as it crawled closer to the point of midnight. The loud creaks of the old house that surrounded me. The creaks seemed to slowly become screaming moans of its existence.
I stood near the window, my hand stretched on the cool glass. My body felt far away, pulling itself away from my mind. I had no wish to stop this pull, the sight of the blanketed ground outside my window slowly evaporated. Soon the coll touch of the window went blank, and with it the felling of my hand, every sense abandon me, except one. My hearing stayed only so I could hear the ticking of the clock. When it finally rang midnight, my mind was the only thing left.
This place seems familiar, like I have been here hundreds of times, but I know this is the first. Everything seemed white, but also black. Everything kept moving, but standing still. The shapes all seem to be rounded, but pointed. Everything just seemed undefined.
I want to reach out and touch one of the undefined objects, but I knew that was impossible. My body had disappeared, I was only a entity, a thing of mind, with no solid shape. Was I also undefined?
"Yes."
I felt my mind be startled by the sudden clear voice. I wanted to turn to find the mysterious voice, but I know I could not. It would not make a difference anyways. I was everywhere, but nowhere.
"Why is everything undefined?" my voice screamed, but whispered.
"Because everybody believes something different when they die."
"Then where is the vision that I believe?"
"This world is undefined because your mind doesn't know what it believes."
I was scared. Was I supposed to spend the eternity that my mind would survive alone in this undefined space?
"No." The voice spoke again.
"Then what or where am I suppose to go?"
"You died without ever loving a single soul. You pushed everybody away from you and died alone. Does that not bother you?"
"Love what a silly emotion. It only causes pain and suffering. I don't see why I have to fell this harmful emotion. I have felt all other emotions, why does this one matter?"
"Humans feed off their emotions, but you did that only rarely. You locked your emotions to the back of your mind. Only at the peak of emotional moments were your emotions able to break the lock, but that happened on few occasions. A Human must fell all emotions in their lifetime, but you are missing a key emotion, love. Without knowing this emotion you can not pass into the after life."
My mind felt frozen. Everything around me was undefined, but now I knew that my after life would never come, so everything around me seem to freeze with my mind.
"Where do I go if not the after life?" My mind cried.
"You will go to the only place a human can learn emotions, life."
The last word seem to echo around me. I was going to live again? No, this can't be happening! I already went through the horrible existence, why must I go through it once again!
"You will be reborn again, into a different life. You will be an infant and grow naturally. As you get older you will slowly start to remember the past, including this conversation. You will be able to to choose if you will love. This emotion is a simple, but complex one, and you must accept that you are feeling this emotion. You can feel love for anybody, or any different forms of love, but you must know the feeling to switch over to the after life."
My mind began wrenching, screaming for this not to be true. I did not want to go through another miserable life! I had finally been given sweet release and now it has been pulled out from under me!
"You will get to choose what time period you wish to be reborn in, as long as it does not interfere with your life that just ended, but may also relive the life that has just ended." the clear voice spoke calmly, ignoring my screams.
It could have been minutes, hours, months, years for all I know, when my screams finally ceased. My mind soon began thinking of what time period I would want to live in. I definitely knew that reliving my old life was out of the question. Soon my mind started to wander to the books I used to read, history and non-fiction. Both had one thing in common; I now knew where I wanted to go.
The voice must have heard my answer as well, for it spoke again. "Are you sure this is where you want to be reborn. Finding love there will be an even more difficult task..."
"Yes, it is the only time period that has ever interested me, send me there."
"Very well, You will be sent to Ancient Egypt. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Then prepare yourself to relive, and remember you must learn the feeling of love. Don't forget the purpose, Melvin."
Me: "Just in case you didn't catch it; this whole chapter was told in Melvin's point of view."
Bakura: "Get the bloody hell out!"
Me: "Bakura stop scaring him! He is my boyfriend!"
Bakura: "Boy.. boy... boy... boyfriend!"
Me: "Of course, he is so sweet and adorable."
Bakura: "What about me?!"
Me: "What about you? You and me were never together."
Bakura: "..."
Me: "Don't worry about it sweetheart. Go ahead and do want you wanted."
Ryou: "Thanks, please rate and review, and stay tuned for the next chapter!"
