Day 10: I'm here
Once Yuya knew what to look for, it was very easy to find it. The two foreign presences in his body, Ute and the black shadow.
Ute's soul felt so similar and yet so different than his own that it was astonishing. Yuya could literally feel the power of his dimensional counterpart leaking into himself, granting his Ute's memories, emotions and experiences. Ute's presence was dark but cooling, the deep purple and blue of his soul a sharp contrast to Yuya's fiery red and orange, their two Dragons – the very essence of who they were – were calling out to each other with their roars.
There was deep hatred inside Ute. Yuya knew that better than anyone. The painful memories of Heartland being burned down to ashes brought a special kind of anguish in Yuya's heart. Those were Ute's memories, memories of a city in which Yuya had never been at before, but something about this city felt so familiar, as it was once a place filled with people's smiles just like Maiami. And to see such a beautiful and peaceful place being ruined, and those people with the sword-shaped Duel Disks were laughing…
This hatred, Ute's hatred, had filled Yuya and combined with his own. The two souls had merged together and created a darkness that could kill them both. The black Dragon of destruction was created by their will to avenge and destroy.
Even outside this strange possession, the overlaying of their two souls, Yuya could feel Ute affecting him. He did not know what had urged him to start looking at the Graveyard for extra cards rather his hand. He did not know why he had yelled at Akaba Reiji to stop him from saying another word.
What Yuya did know was that sometimes he felt a different strength supporting his own, his haters, his hope, his determination, his wishes, their promise.
Give smiles to everyone's futures.
Yuya knew that Ute was right here. He was right here. He was not gone. As long as Yuya was alive, Ute would be here.
