Hey everyone, I know this isn't my latest chapter but I've had this idea for a while and wanted to make it into a two shot. This takes place in the present, way after Egypt.
Miho bolted upright in her bed and let out a strangled scream. Her terrified indigo eyes darted around the room looking for him....but she didn't see anyone so she relaxed and ran a shaking hand through her sweat soaked hair. The only things she could hear were her heart pounding a mile a minute and her frantic breathing.
'W-w-why...why do I k-keep dreaming of h-him?'
Song lyrics were bouncing around in her head so she tossed her bed covers off and walked over to her desk and turned on a small light and took out her notebook and a pen, opening it to a fresh page she began to write.
'No more gas in the red, can't even get it started.'
'Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it.'
Miho had always been a songwriter, ever since she was little and most of her inspiration came from the dreams that she had, usually she would come up with the lyrics later but this time, she had heard the lyrics in her dream and felt like she needed to get them down on paper.
'On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it.'
'Feels like I'm going insane, yeah.'
She heard the steps leading to her room creak and let out a small shriek before she could stop herself. She shook her head afterwards at her own stupidity, she lived in an old house and it always creaked and groaned....she shivered all the same.
'It's a thief in the night to come and grab you.'
'It can creep up inside you and consume you.'
It had been about three months since that awful RPG that she and her friends had been forced to play in, luckily they where all safe thanks to Yugi's alter-ego, Miho blushed a bit when she thought of him then shuddered when she thought of Ryou's alter-ego....
'A disease of the mind, it can control you.'
'It's too close for comfort.'
She remembered when they had stepped into Ryou's apartment that he kept staring at her, it creeped her out but she didn't want to be rude so she didn't say anything, and then during the RPG she could still feel him staring at her....like she was a piece of meat or something. But....he had been destroyed....hadn't he?
'Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder.'
'Ain't gonna play nice, watch out you might just go under.'
A month later she started having dreams about him...he would invade her peace filled dreams and twist them into horrible horrible nightmares, nightmares where he would stare at her and try to grab her and hurt her friends....Miho came out of those thoughts quickly, she didn't want to remember those dreams....
'Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered.'
'So if you must falter be wise.'
Ever since those dreams started she hadn't slept well, even her friends had noticed. They were all worried about her and would ask her about what kind of dreams she would be having, but she would lie to them and say she couldn't remember....she didn't want to get everyone worked up over dreams...
'Your mind's in disturbia, it's like darkness is light.'
'Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?'
'Disturbia, ain't used to what you like.'
'Disturbia, disturbia.'
Miho looked up from her writing and into the mirror that hung on the wall, what she saw made her scream and race down the stairs, out of her room. He was there in her mirror just staring at her with that awful smile on his face. Miho ran into the living room and sat on the couch, she didn't want to but she continued to write...like she wasn't controlling her hand.
'Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they're talking to me.'
'Disconnection on calls, the phone don't even ring.'
Miho lived alone in her house, her parents had died in a boat accident a few years ago but left her with a lot of insurance money so she was basically rich and didn't have to work for anything. Miho felt her eyes smart with tears when she thought of her parents but she pushed them back.
'I gotta get out or figure this shit out.'
'It's too close for comfort, oh.'
What Miho wrote next made a chill go up and down her spine when she thought about it.
'It's a thief in the night to come and grab you.'
'It can creep up inside you and consume you.'
'A disease of the mind it can control you.'
'I feel like a monster, oh.'
Miho looked down at her writing and turned as white as a sheet as she noticed that that wasn't her handwriting. The kanji was sharper and had hard edges and was basically scrawled on the paper, while her handwriting was nice and neat and always placed perfectly.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Miho was now really starting to freak out and threw her notebook across the room and watched it hit the wall, she then curled into a ball and rocked back and forth, terrified out of her mind.
'I-I'm....I'm....sc-sc-scared....'
Miho woke up with a start and looked around the room, she must have dozed off again...she looked down to her lap and noticed that her notebook was back in her hands and 'she' had written more words.
'Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder.'
'Ain't gonna play nice, watch out you might just go under.'
'Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered.'
'So if you must falter be wise.'
Before she could fully start to freak out again she distinctly felt someone or something running their fingers through her hair. Miho let out a startled yelp and scrambled off of the couch and into the kitchen, she sat down at the table and whipped away a few tears caused by her fear and went back to writing.
'Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light.'
'Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?'
'Disturbia, ain't used to what you like.'
'Disturbia, disturbia, disturbia.'
As she finished the last stroke on the final character for that verse she nearly stabbed her pen through the paper, somehow she managed to gain control of her hand for a few moments long enough to put her own words down on paper in her own handwriting.
'Release me from this curse I'm in.'
But right after that she felt her hand seize up and was forced to write the next lines in the scrawly kanji again.
'Trying to maintain but I'm struggling.'
'If you can't go-o-o.'
'I think I'm gonna, ah, ah, ah, ah.'
"NO! Stop it just stop! STOP!"
She tried to fling her pen away from her but her entire arm seized up and she was forced to go back to writing.
'Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder.'
'Ain't gonna play nice, watch out you might just go under.'
Miho squeezed her eyes shut as her hand continued to write, forget about being terrified, she was extremely close to having a panic attack!
'Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered.'
'So if you must falter be wise.'
She used her left hand to try and pull her right hand away from the paper but it was no use, it just continued to write.
'Disturbia, it's like the darkness is light.'
'Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?'
'Disturbia, ain't used to what you like.'
'Disturbia, disturbia.'
Finally, finally her right arm untensed as she finished the song and threw both notebook and pen far away from her as she could. Miho laid her head down on the table and burst into tears. This had definitely escalated far beyond just mere nightmares. Now it was reality and she had no idea what to do.
'H-ha ha ha ha...'
Miho's head jerked up as she heard someone...laughing?
'Oh....wh-what now?'
Miho whimpered and covered her head with her hands.
'Come now my love....it wasn't that bad.....h-ha ha ha ha....'
The voice sounded like it was coming from inside her head!
'What? No thank you? I was just giving you inspiration for your next song, love.....h-ha ha ha....'
"NO! Get out of my head! Get out of my head!"
Miho jerked her head up again and slapped her hands over her ears in a desperate attempt to block out his voice.
'Can't get rid of me that easily my Miho....h-ha ha ha ha....'
"N-NO! SH-SHUT UP! I'm not y-yours!! I'm n-not! G-get out of m-my head!"
'Oh? And who's going to make me? You? H-ha ha ha ha....'
Miho clasped her hands over her ears tighter as the spirit continued to laugh, Miho stumbled up the stairs and into her parent's old room, managing to grab the phone on the nightstand before her legs buckled under her and she fell to the floor. Miho blindly punched the numbers on the phone and prayed with all her might as the phone rang for the person on the other side to pick it up. The phone was picked up, and someone on the other end spoke to her.
"Hello?"
Wow....spooky! One more chapter and I'm done with this one! I hope you all liked it! Flames will be doused by my water powers. Persistent flamers will be pelted by hail.
