Lady Deadly Nightshade: I do not own Yu Gi Oh!! I only wish I did!

Lady Deadly Nightshade: This fic is my second attempt with a Yu Gi Oh based story line. Please be gentle when you review. This is a prologue of sorts and there are no names to the characters yet, or I mean who is who. Don't worry it will all become clear in upcoming chapters, I hope! This fic came to me late at night and I just had to post it so I have no outline for the story. I just hope it comes to me smoothly, so I can update it regularly. So with that said, please read and review! ^_^

Prologue- The Unforgettable Past

            His chest burned as he drew in breath. The stinging sensation in his chest was unbearable. Funny, he thought absently. He didn't need to breathe anymore. He only drew breath out of habit. He quickly ceased taking in air hoping to stop the pain in his chest muscles. Dead things don't need oxygen to thrive anymore. The muscles all over his body ached, consuming his body into fatigue. His eye lids slowly drooped close, he desperately wanted to sleep. Sleep, a comforting voice resonated through his mind, but he couldn't. He was in danger; he sensed it through the air. It seemed to him the world had stood still.

I will always love you and protect you too. A voice called out in the darkness. A feminine and very familiar voice.

Beloved? He called out.

My darling, you must go on. She urged him. You cannot rest.

No, I want to be with you. Please let me be with you!

Darling you must go on. We will meet again.

I can't! I can't go on without you. Please don't deny me this!

You can't! It isn't your time! You must go on!  She insisted. Her voice fading in and out. Then very clearly she said urgently, Open your eyes!

He forced his eyes open just in time to see his enemy standing over him. The one that had killed the woman he loved. His enemy stood over him with a sword aimed squarely at his heart and a crazed look in his eyes.

"You killed my love and I have killed your but we are in no way even." He said scornfully. He looked up at his enemy's crazed expression. He was unnerved at the weapon that hanged perilously close to his chest. He wanted it! He wanted death and he would do nothing to stop the blade from penetrating into his empty heart. He heard the words of his beloved in his mind, but he desperately didn't want to go on without her. The days ahead all seemed empty and pointless, no reason at all for it too continue.

Just as the crazed maniac above him was going to stab him and end his suffering. He heard the sound of a glass shattering and a surprised look in the eyes of his enemy. Then he saw his enemy fly back as if an invisible hand had pushed him away. He heard the sickening crunch of a body being thrown harshly against the wall.

He turned his attention back to the ceiling just in time to see a pair of eyes that looked identical to his, except the eyes that loomed above him burned with intensity. The piercing eyes gazed down at him.

"Did you miss me brother?" he asked sardonically.

Miss you, ha. He replied mentally to him. He knew he could hear him, he always could. He could have actually lived his whole life without seeing his older brother again, but every time he caught his reflection in the mirror, he saw him. His own face seemed to turn into his older brother's mocking face. The sibling rivalry between them had reached a new level causing them to despise each other. Why? They hated each other because they both had loved her and she had chosen him, the weaker one. Even though she no longer stood between them, he knew the ties between them would be forever broken even though they were brothers. Recalling these things made him think with skeptic awe why he was here trying to help him of all things.

"Don't worry about that right now. We have to get out of here!" he extended his hand down to him, and he just gazed at it passively. When he wouldn't take it, his brother one handedly lifted him off the floor. His brother had always been stronger then him. His brother threw his arm over his shoulder to keep him standing. He was so tired, he couldn't move nor did he want too. He wanted everything to stop and he wanted it too end.

"Sorry brother, I can't let you die." He replied coldly. "I gave her my word." Those words he said with emotion. "come on." He urged his little brother and using his mind power he teleported them away.

They reappeared by a cliff that overlooked the ocean. The cliff stood in a clearing of a forest. The full moon and many stars in the sky illuminated the two brothers. Having his brother rescue him, angered him greatly and the anger fueled him with strength, using this strength he pushed away from his brother. "I don't need you help! I never recall asking for it!" He spat out angrily. He wanted to die and now his wretched brother had saved him. Probably out of spite too, he thought irritably. "Damn you, why did you have to interfere!" He yelled at his brother.

His brother looked at him unfazed. His face emotionless despite his angered reaction. "You're very welcome, little brother." He replied bitterly. A bitter smile crossed his face and then just as it had appeared it was gone. "I also made a promise to her and I plan to keep it. No matter how you feel about it." He informed his little brother. "Good bye little brother." He said and vanished where he stood, leaving his brother to digest his last words to him.

He turned and gazed out to the moon and the jet black sky. Fine, he thought angrily remembering his brother's words. If he's older brother was planning to keep his word to her. Then he should have the courtesy and honor to do it too. After all, he was the one she had fallen in love with. Still looking out into the beautiful sky, he made his vow to her. "Beloved, for you I'll try and go on with this cursed life."

Lady Deadly Nightshade: That is it for now. As soon as the story becomes clear to me, I will update! So let me know what you think. Thanks! ^_^
