Mirror, Mirror
Uhh... *stares at fic* Short... very short. And strange. I had this idea when I was looking in a mirror during a car trip, experimenting with my face. Didn't think this would end up like this though. *sweatdrops* It's set during Battle City, while on the Duelist Boat thingy Kaiba has. This is mainly cause I haven't seen any furthur yet...
Disclaimer: I don't own it.
The reflection caught his eyes.
Cold; impersonal. Who was this person, who seemed so uncaring? It could not be him. The hair and eyes... well, they were his, but they were not.
The face that stared back at him, it wasn't really his face. He only borrowed this physical form for a while, though it altered to appear as he once did, the face was that of his omote.
Yugi.
How could this face, Yugi's face, become so cold when he took control? He wasn't like that, was he?
No, of course not.
Perhaps if he tried to smile...
The reflection smiled slightly. It seemed all-knowing. It laughed at him with it's hidden knowledge.
Ra, he hated that expression.
His own face betrayed him. It was holding back what he wanted. It knew what he longed to know.
His past.
His life.
Things he had named but could not recall, it hid from him.
Mocked him.
He hated it. Hated it's smile. Hated the way it seemed to taunt him with knowledge he could not seem to obtain, no matter how hard he tried.
"Stop smiling!"
Lunging at the taunting reflection.
It wasn't his reflection, it mocked him with that too. He was dead. He had no reflection. He wanted to destroy the lying mirror. Mirrors were supposed to show who you are, not who you are not!
Glass shattered, scattered across the floor.
It was nothing more than a parasite, that face. It was living of the face of another, an innocent. It was _not_ his face!
Thousands of jeering fragments.
"I hate you... Stop torturing me so... What have I done..."
/Yami?/
"I'm sorry... Whatever it is... Just... tell me what you know!"
/Yami? What's wrong? What happened to the mirror?/
"He wouldn't stop smiling! He knows everything about me! Why won't he tell me?! WHY?"
/But... it's your face.../
"...I hate him..."
