K: WAAAAAAAAA~! GOMEN DAI YO!!! *bows and begs for mercy* Gomen for not updating over 8 days!!!!! ^^;;
Y: We were EXTREMELY busy (some…. important events happened…. ^-~ *cough* GETTINGAPS2 *cough* ^^) and had writers' block throughout. We still have it now, and we're basically winging it through this chapter, but hell- we usually wing every chapter anyway…. ^^;
K: BTW, due to the request of one of our reviewers, we'll be trying not to come up with any new stories, even though we have 2 ideas swimming around in the murky koi pond outside…. Instead, we're trying to upload new chappies of what we already have, so it might take longer between updates, okei? *grovels* DUN HURT US!!!
Y: I know we promised an update a day, but we've got an assload of work to do lately, not to mention a writers' block the size of Stonehenge… ;
Dai: *nod nod* Give 'em a break, kudasai… I REEEALLY dun want them to randomly draw me with angel wings again in hopes of new ideas…. --; *grumbles* I dun even HAVE wings….! Why the hell do they always DRAW me with them?! Why don't they go pick on Aete?! *glomps Naito, who is currently on rent from Merodi no Yami* I need to spend all this precious time with Naito!
Naito: *glares* Get. The. HELL. Off.
Dai: *glomps him even more, hearts in his eyes because of the attire Merodi no Yami made Naito wear (black leather pants and no shirt)* Merodi, I think I might be a bi character now, cuz' I LOVE YOU!!!! *huggles Naito* But I think I like you more, Naito-chaaaaaan! ^-~
Naito: --; Aibou, when this is over, I'm sooooooo gonna…..
Aete: *cuts him off and returns to the original question* Because I'm the cute one who looks like Takeru from DGM season 2 when I'm young….
K: Actually, we like Dai-chan better, that's why… He's a smartass punk though, so I have no clue about the angel wings….
Aete: UU;
Y: Speaking of drawings, we finally got a scanner, and we're trying to figure out how to post piccies here on the web. We have a title page for this fic, but the color's all f-ed up, since our pens suck like 'ell…. --; --; (We drew fanart for you too, Merodi no Yami!! The scanner's being a baka though!! UU;)
Naito: If anyone has any idea how to post pics on the net, tell them how in your reviews, k? *rolls eyes* Someone PLEASE tell the baka temes so they'll shut up!!! *looks down at Dai and growls* I TOLD YOU, GET THE HELL OFF!!!!!!!
Dai: ^______________^ *huggles him even more*
Naito: --; Aibou, you're soooooo gonna pay…..
Disclaimer: K/Y: *glare* We're having fun with our new scanner and PS2, dun ruin our happiness by asking us for these f-ing disclaimers….
Dai: UU; They dun own THEM, but they own ME…. Life is so unfair when you're a manga character….
K/Y: *hit Dai over the head with a cake pan* Quit whining!!
Warnings: Do we really have to tell you by now? It HAS been 10 chapters…. *sigh* Oh, fine. XP Shonen ai (cuz' we're addicted to it), gore (cuz' the yamis are psycho), OOC (cuz' it's AU and we wanted Yami to act like an a-hole for the sake of angst), randomness (cuz' we're winging it like any other chapter), and profanity. (cuz' we can't help our bad habit in a house of gossips)
Side note: This is the last chappie of "Season One". The next season is entitled "Mou Hitori no Jinkaku", or "The other Personality". Here's the link to it: (the usual ff.net address) storyid=1274150. Thanks for supporting us throughout this season, and hope you'll all come back for the next! ^-~ ^-~

Mou Hitori no Boku: Mare na Kankaku DesuThe Other Me: Unusual Feelings
Strange…. I don't think there's any other word for it. Simply put, whatever feelings I had once felt had lessened greatly, replaced by and emotion that I cannot understand for the death of me…. Shit, now it's affected my sadistic sense of humor…. DAMN IT ALL TO THE REALM OF SETH!!
I sigh, rubbing my temples as I sit atop my eternal throne of shadows. Things had been going so well- I was slowly gaining power, the fucking tomb robber failed again, and I got to blow up a large group of semi-innocents…. Had that really only been yesterday? It seems like so much has gone by in such a short amount of time…
Though, perhaps, it really had. I've gone from top bastard from hell to….to some confused, pathetic, WEAKLING who won't even demand what he wants, and by all means, should have the rights to. How could my emotions suddenly become so very fucked up? And all because of him, too?!
Taking my hands from my head, I glance up at the silvery door, a sliver of light peeking out from the bottom crack. I make my way over to it, using concealing magic to cover the otherwise loud creak of the door. A second later, I realize exactly what I've done. Why the hell should I care if the bastard wakes up or not? Shit- I can't even bring myself to call him anything worse anymore… even when it's just me, alone in my own thoughts…
I walk to his bedside, running a hand over the intricate carvings in the wooden bed frame. Strange, how his soul could be so bare and empty…so very much like my own…. He did not harbor as much hatred and despair, though, and you could tell, if you knew where to look. Everything was merely bathed in a grayish light, not black, as mine had come to be oh so long ago…. And yet…
My hand brushed over something I had yet to recognize, and I peered ever-closer, trying to discover what the hell it was. It had 4 long, thin arms, and twisted, ugly wings to match- a parasite dragon? Yes- I could see it clearly now; a grotesque, lizard-like body, and a massive, pulsing brain. Bits and pieces of it were missing, showing it to be the deadly, rotted corpse of dark dragons long since passed….
But, why would such a thing be depicted here, of all places? The others seemed to represent the mythic forms of those he knew, and even a wyrm had been etched into the wood to show, perhaps, the tomb robber? Yet, there was none that seemed to have been made to be my counterpart… Could it be that this was how he saw me? As some terrible monster, ever haunting his tortured soul?
Well, how can I blame him, really? After all I've done to him, it's only natural for him to see me as an eternal evil. Hell, it's what I wanted, right? Right?
Gazing down upon his softened features, my mind reeled in inner turmoil. No- that isn't what I want. At one point in time, it might have been, but not now… But… If not, then what do I want?
I want power, for one thing, but now, all my plans for domination didn't seem to matter as much…. I know I wanted this boy's body, in more ways than one, but if so, why didn't I just take him when I had the chance… Any chance…. I could right now, if I wanted to, but… something's holding me back…
…That strange new emotion. That's what it was. That's why my whole world has gone to pot and all these fucked up thoughts and ideas are flying through my mind…. Because of it…
Because of him…. There's just something about him that triggers it, whatever the hell 'it' is… After all, I wouldn't spare him just because he saved me from the confines of the puzzle, would I? Not any other mortal…. But this was different, this was him…
Okei, I think we've established the fact that whatever the hell this thing is, it has something to do with the boy sleeping in front of me. Maybe I should just wake the little f-….ah, hell…_brat_… up, and demand an explanation… Maybe I should just forget the whole damn thing and try to ignore it…
But then… I don't think I could. I mean, I've kissed him once, in his sleep, and I'd been gentle- something I never thought I could ever be again. Whatever I'm feeling, it's not lust, since I'd have taken him long ago if that were the case… No, not lust… then, love? I don't know if I can love… I never have… well, once, but that was much, much different…. That was the love of a mother and son, respect of bloodline, rather, and not of 2 lovers…
Lovers…. Is that what I want so badly? To be regarded as someone he can count on to protect him, to care for him in a way neither of us ever has been?
I subconsciously gaze down at his soft, rosy lips, and press my own against them in a light, feathery kiss. Pulling back, I noticed the slight frown he'd held before had melted into a content smile, and, puzzled by my own actions, I slip through the door and back to my own realm of shadows.
Brushing a hand across my mouth, I noticed they tingled with some sort of energy, though I sensed no magic other than my own. Again placing my hands to my temples as I lie on my own steel-framed bed, I let out yet another sigh.
Ra, I'm so fucked up….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile:
I opened my eyes, touching my fingers to my lips as they danced with a warm, comforting fire. I knew it- he did kiss me before, and he'd just done so again, though, this time, he went a bit further, to my actual lips…. Was he toying with me, or did he really care? He's had dozens of chances to fulfill his earlier plan, and yet, he lets me off with stolen kisses and a peaceful sleep…
He hasn't yelled at me, beat me, or even talked to me since before I spoke to Jou-kun and Kaiba-sempai, and, when he did come in, he kept as quiet as possible and never did anything bad to me. I snuck a peek at him through half-lidded eyes when he hadn't been looking just minutes ago, and he'd actually looked like he was confused about something. I closed my eyes again, feigning sleep, and just moments later, he leaned down to kiss me!
If that was the case, whatever battle he's fighting within himself must be over his feelings for me… But, do I like him that way? Do I like anyone that way? I mean, I don't exactly have the best experience with things like this, especially with so few people even acting decently toward me. Could I really love someone who'd caused me so much pain before? Did I even like guys?!
My fingers touched my lips again, and I felt the same fire as I had before. Well, that settled it- I guess I did. But….him? Do I really like him? I mean, sure, he's kind of sexy in a dark, sadistic way, but he was the monster who destroyed my happiness! Could I ever really forgive him for all the things he's done?
My mind says no, demo sa…. my heart says I should give him a chance. Logic, or gut feeling…? I stare at the parasite dragon carved into my bed frame, watching as it melted and changed into something new… a dark rider. Engulfed in a mysterious mist, crimson eyes boring into the souls of his enemies; a shadowed knight atop a powerful steed from the depths of hell itself… Still as dangerous as ever, but only to those whom challenged him to duel to the death.
Well, I never really was one to accept logic when my heart says otherwise…. No point stopping now…
