Language of Love
Chapter Two: Haunted
I will come to you
Yami was down minding the shop the next day. He was still mad at Seto, everyone picked up on that. Yami kept telling himself that he could do fine on his own, but somewhere in his heart, he knew it was all a lie.
In the still of the nightSome one came in. Yami kept his mouth shut, bottling the rage growing inside of him. There she was. That was the girl Seto was with. She acted like she didn't know him, and she did it well.
And I will crush youWith the burden of sight
Kaylynn picked out two packs of Duel Monsters cards and pulled out money to pay. As Yami handed her her change, she grabbed his wrist and twisted it around painfully. Yami winced, teeth clamped together.
And you will understand
The shadows in my heart
"Stay away from my Seto." Kaylynn hissed.
She abruptly released him, pushing him into the wall. She smiled a cute little chibi smile before picking up her packs and leaving. Yami caught sight of Seto waiting outside. His fury exploded inside of him.
The fury of my conviction
Will cause your heart to quicken
Yami held his wrist. It hurt, but it wasn't broken. He closed his eyes, trying to calm down.
And then, my dear
Malik popped in later that day, with Ryou not too far behind. Yami told them what had happened.
"She's evil. I like that." Malik said. Yami and Ryou glared.
"Who's side are you on anyways?!" Yami screamed. Malik laughed.
You will see you want me here
"You know you love me." Yami's eyes bugged for a moment as Malik and Ryou laughed.
"You wish."
And when you wake up
Yami woke up at two AM that night (morning?). Yugi was sound asleep. Yami half walked, half-stumbled downstairs to the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of water and glanced out the window.
You will see yourself through my eyes
Yami rubbed his eyes and stared. Seto and Kaylynn were out, this early. Yami nearly choked as Seto pulled her close and kissed her.
And when you break up
You'll understand
Yami shook his head, and the vision was gone. He dropped the glass, thus shattering it, and held his head. Kaylynn's voice was dancing around in his head.
//He never loved you.//
"Stop it…"
Why it is I cry
//Face it. Stop telling yourself lies.//
"Stop it!"
Let me speak quietly
So your heart can hear
//He's mine now.//
"Shut up!" Yami shouted, dropping to his knees…accidentally cutting himself on the shards of glass littered around his feet.
I will hypnotize and mesmerize you
With the sound of your own fear
Kaylynn's voice was gone…but her words weren't. Yami sat on the kitchen floor for about an hour, trying to banish her from his mind.
And when you wake up
You will see yourself through my eyes
"Don't let her get to you Yami." He told himself over and over again as he tried to carefully pick up the pieces of glass. He winced as he was rewarded with a pretty little deep cut on his right hand.
You'll understand
Why it is I cry
After successfully cleaning the glass and the water/blood up, Yami turned to the pain in his hand. There was still a small piece of glass wedged into it. Yami bit his bottom lip as he tried to remove the glass. He tasted blood trickling into his mouth as the pain in his hand grew. It did come out, but the pain was still there…and he had 'shop duty' the next day.
I just wanna get along
This is your song
Yami had wrapped his palm in a bandage, leaving his fingers free to tap out a long forgotten melody that was driving him mad at the moment.
I wrote it in my head
But the melody's all wrong
As usual, Malik and Ryou stopped by.
"What happened to your hand?" Ryou asked, hot chocolate eyes spying the bandage.
"I cut myself on glass."
"What happened? A cat fly though your window?" Malik asked, trying to add humor to the situation. Ryou and Yami blinked for a moment before resuming what could be a composure.
And it's driving me crazy
"Let me take a look at it." Ryou said, grabbing for Yami's injured limb. Yami refused.
Not having you baby
To keep me company
"It's fine, really." Yami insisted, keeping out of Ryou's reach.
"No it isn't! Lemme see!"
Malik gave his lover a hand. He grabbed Yami's wrist and slammed it onto the display case. Yami narrowed his eyes.
"Cheater."
In my own private world
You're my one true girl
Ryou's hands were soft and smooth. He carefully unwrapped the bandage, asking Yugi (who had just come downstairs) to get some hydrogen peroxide and cotton swabs. Yami rolled his eyes.
"You don't have to do this you know." Yami said. Ryou shrugged.
"I don't care."
And I won't be stoppin'
Just 'cause your knees are knockin'
Ryou was finishing up when Kaylynn came in. Yami scowled. Ryou and Malik stepped out of the way as she walked up to him. Their eyes met, and fire and ice clashed without words.
When I decide to drop in
So don't make a sound
"You know he never loved you." Yami froze for a moment. He heard this before.
"Stop it…" He said quietly.
'Cause there's no one around
"Stop telling yourself lies."
"Shut up."
To come between us now
"He's mine now. Accept it."
"Shut up!" Yami shouted. Kaylynn jumped slightly.
I'm gonna haunt you girl
"Yami, don't think that you're the only one who's ever been hurt." With that, Kaylynn turned on her heels and left.
Yami said nothing. He gathered enough from the tone of her voice. He wondered who had hurt her. The thought soon left him, soon as in after a few hours.
And when you wake up
And see yourself through my eyes
Yami was up at two again. He sat at the kitchen table with a glass of hot tea, determined not to break this one. He was thinking about Seto. Kaylynn broke into his thoughts again.
And when you break up
He could see her with Seto. They both looked so…
You'll understand
…happy…
Why it is I cry
Yami felt one single tear roll from his eyes. He poured out the rest of his tea and left the glass on the counter.
I will come to you
And he looked for a knife.
In the still of the night
