Here is just a little Kaiba angst I came up with listening to 'Behind Blue Eyes' by The Who. There's a small bit of rivalshipping (Kaiba/Yugi) and a whole lot of angst. Warning: Pain pills, near suicide, and slight YAOI.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of it's characters, etc, etc you know the drill.
ON WITH THE FIC!
START
Kaiba was sick. Sick of the pressure, sick of the publicity. Sick of life. This week had been one of the worst ever. He had to announce the winner of the Battle City Tournament *not him* and was ridiculed by the reporters at the press conference. Then he had walked Yugi home to make sure he wasn't hounded by the paparazzi, who had ambushed them. In protecting the little teen, he had ended up beating up a bunch of them. The next day, all of the tabloids were insisting the two of them had a secret relationship and that Kaiba had anger management issues. Two days later, he had to recall his new V-Pods because they caused whoever used them to have seizures. He was being criticized everywhere and the company's stock had dropped tremendously. Currently, Kaiba was hiding in his room, with a bottle of pain medicine in one hand and his iPod in the other. His favorite song came on, so he sang along.
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
Kaiba found himself laughing. How damn true! Especially with all that Egypt crap going around. Kaiba unscrewed the bottle and popped a handful of pills, then kept singing.
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free
"You know." Kaiba said aloud to no one. "The tabloids were kind of right. I love Yugi, but he'll never love me because im a mean bastard!" And then he sang the next verse.
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
He went for more pills, but found the bottle was empty. "How do I explain that to Mokuba?" He said. In a pill induced haze, he jumped out of his window and landed on his feet. He'd left his iPod behind, but kept singing as he ran.
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free
People looked at Kaiba strangely as he ran by them, singing at the top of his lung. Some paparazzi took pictures, but Kaiba didn't care.
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
'No one would do that for me' Kaiba thought. 'Because I'm alone.'
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Kaiba was at the Domino Bridge. He jumped up on the edge and stood there dramatically for a moment. The town was silent. As he was about to jump, a voice he loved rang clear through the air.
"KAIBA! GET DOWN NOW!" Kaiba whirled around to see Yugi running towards him full speed, a few tears slipping from his eyes. Kaiba jumped off the railing and back onto the ground. Yugi tackled him. "What are you doing?!" He said, lying on Kaiba, neither of them caring who saw and who didn't. "I was so scared you were gonna jump!" Kaiba started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Yugi demanded.
"Someone does care."
