A/N: Road of No Return Chapter 5 is ¼ done ^_^;;



Snow

Yami no Yuugi watched Yuugi as the short teen stared sadly at the falling snow. Violet orbs seem to stare at the snow flakes as they floated to the ground, but Yami knew his light wasn't really seeing the snow flakes.

What Yuugi did see, was even a mystery to the former pharaoh. Yami no Yuugi had asked many times but the little one never answered him with the truth. He stared at his zoned out aibou as he went to the kitchen.

Yuugi watched his yami leave in the reflection of the mirror. He sighed knowing his yami was disappointed with is stubborn silence. Every year yami would ask the same questions when he saw Yuugi stare at the snow.

Yuugi hated snow, he loathed it. He hated winter, he hated it.


Yami no Yuugi frowned when he suddenly felt hate pulse through the link between him and Yuugi, but the hate was not aimed at him. Curious the spirit tentavively let his concern flow to his other. The pulsing hate almost instantly faded to a soft throb, and he felt an apologizing touch over the link. Grabbing two mugs of steaming hot chocolate he walked back to the living room, he placed the mugs on the table and moved to his aibou's side.


Yuugi ignored Yami no Yuugi's presence by his side as he kept staring at the snow, he closed his eyes as a memory surfaced.  He ignored the concern and curiosity Yami no Yuugi send through the link as he closed his eyes. The present world stop existing as the past came back to haunt him.

"Aibou?" Yami no Yuugi's deep voice seemed to snap him out of the past, violet orbs blinked and turned away from the snow. His darkness's warm red eyes met his red rimmed violet orbs.

"Ever hated something, Mou hitori no Boku? Ever hated something so much that whenever you see it rage consumes you're heart and soul and leaves you numb after you realized that it won't go away?"

The spirit nodded as he sat behind Yuugi, who shifted on to his lap and snuggled in to the pharaoh's warm embrace. "I hate the snow, Mou hitori no Boku. I hate it with all my heart. And everytime it snows this tidal wave of rage and hate consumes my heart and soul" Yami no Yuugi watched the young teen's eyes darken as they glanced at the snow.

"Doushite?"

The little one tensed in his yami's arms for a second before he relaxed again. "You asked me once where my parents were, did you not Mou hitori no Boku?"  Mou hitori no Yuugi nodded. "Hai, I did" He said softly.

"I told you they had died" Again Yami no Yuugi nodded and answered with a soft 'hai' . Yuugi shifted in his arms. "They died because of the snow" He felt Mou hitori no Boku's confusing flow in to his mind at his last sentence.

"The snow took them away. If it hadn't snowed...They'd still be here, with me" Yami no Yuugi stroked his aibou's hair as the young boy buried his face in the spirit's chest, sad crimson eyes looked down on the weeping boy. After a while he fell through the link that Yuugi had fallen asleep, he bent his head to kiss the teen's head and smiled softly at the sleeping form.

He stared outside the window and glared at the snow.

He suddenly disliked the frozen powder. A lot.
