Memories Of Death~*~*~*~By: LinkGirl
Chapter 5: Starting A Story Of Akuma
Author's Note: (Remember transition, ~*~) It's back to being Bakura's present time.
-----------------------------------
"Come Bakura," Kaiba's speech snaps me from my thoughts.
He turns away from me and walks through the gate. Since I'm not a ghost, I us my shifting ability to get to the other side. I do not feel like wasting my time climbing over the gate.
Kaiba continues walking toward the mansion. When we get to the door he looks back at me. "It's locked you'll have to find another way in."
I simply nod, "I'll meet you inside."
I watch him slip through the door and out of sight. I use my shifting power, again...this is rare for me to us it more than twice a night, and even rarer for me to use it to go such a short distances. It's wastes my energy.
I reappear next to Kaiba, just inside the mansion. Kaiba glances at me and makes a motion to fallow him. He leads me to the dinning room, which is very clean, like all the other rooms I had passed.
'He's cleaner then you are!' the thief startles me.
I take a few seconds to recover and retaliate, 'Well, I wonder whose fault that is?' I pause for a second to rethink what the thief said. 'Wait, you didn't make sense. You do know he's a ghost?'
The thief sighs heavily in my head, 'I'm talking about Mokuba.'
I stay quiet at this; we are talking randomly to each other. He's bored, and has nothing better to do except irritate me. I notice Kaiba take a seat in an open chair. I make my way to another open chair across from Kaiba. The moonlight shines through the windows, casting shadows. Though I don't need the light, nether does Kaiba. If were to have gone down to the basement, both of us still would be able to see. We are nocturnal creatures; we see things as if it were day.
"Now will you tell me about this Akuma?" he questions in a dull voice.
"Akuma..." I trail off. Yes, indeed it was a long story. A story that takes me back to 20 years ago. To the day that's been bothering me all night. "You know, Kaiba? I'm going to have to start on the day we died."
I see him pretend to tap his finger on the table in front of us. Apparently he's been bothered by it too. Then, as if deciding between a life and death matter, he spoke, "Fine."
~*~
Everything is happening so fast. I feel so drowsy. Everything is swimming, and I haven't even opened my eyes yet. I feel cold and wet all over, which is the only thing I can feel. My body is numb all over, and I don't think it's from the cold.
I just lay there for a while, not wanting to move, or maybe I can't move. Am I dead? Is this what it's like to be dead?
Suddenly I hear a voice. "Yasashii, are you sure you want to change him too?" The words seem faint and distant.
"Yes, I am sure." I hear someone else speak...a girl. Her voice seems...sad, as if regretting something. "And you know the law as well as I do."
There is a pause. Then...a groan? I could have sworn I just heard-Someone's moaning! But who? I feel too awful to pinpoint the voice.
I lie there, not moving. No one seems to be talking, or else I've just lost the ability to hear, which seems highly unlikely. The silence is unnerving. I feel unsafe, insecure.
Then, a sound of death, an ear-piercing scream fills the air. Out of shock, I feel my body twitch ferociously. I can feel goose bumps form on my skin, and my heart must have skipped at least two beats.
The scream lasts just for a few seconds, and then slowly dies out. I can't do anything to help the poor soul. I still can't move, and I even if I could, I'd probably be too late to help him. So I do the one thing I can do, I lie there, dead...at least it seems like it. Minutes past in silence. I start to feel my mind falling asleep. I'm starting to leave reality...or maybe this isn't reality! Maybe this is all just a dream...one big dream...
