Innocent: Empty Threats
Song: In The End by Linkin Park
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*"It starts with
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time"*
Yami was singing along to his Linkin Park CD. He had just recieved a major blow. Tristan, had betrayed him, Yugi, everyone.
He always had a feeling that Tristan didn't like him, but he never thought he'd go so far as to betray everyon, just to get
back at Yami and Yugi. He had tried hard, hell he had done lots of things for Tristan. Or at least, he had tried to. But
everything he did backfired. Maybe that was why Tristan didn't like him. "But still.. Betray, everyone? Because of me? It's
just, not like Tristan." Yami flipped over on the bed he had shared with Yugi so long ago, one of his earbud headphones
falling from his ear.
*"All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away"*
Yami's mind wandered aimlessly, his lips keeping up with the song. He thought about Yugi, and how much he missed him. He
still couldn't believe he was gone. He had just suddenly disappeared from Yami's life. But not his heart. He would never,
could never, disappear from Yami's heart. But his life, ahd been ticked away by a clock, just like the song..
*"It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on,
but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside
and even though I tried
it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of a time when I tried so hard"*
Yami thought now, about how Yugi must have felt, trapped, knowing he would probably never see Yami again. Or Seto, or Joey.
How the last time he saw Yami, he was going to war, a look of deep regret on his face. He thought of how he changed. Of how
he had left sad, and come back, angry. Angry at the world, for being stupid enough to fight with eachother for no reason.
Agry at the government, for tearing him away from his precious Yugi. He tried so hard, to keep his promise.. It had been
difficult, dodging bombs and such, needless to say, he was one of the best soldiers there. But Yugi's life, was too high a
price to pay. Now, his life fell apart. There was nothing left for him now..
*"And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter"*
He was so close.. just one day sooner, and he would have had his hikari in his arms. But no.. Yugi died, the day before he
came home.. He turned on the TV, watching the news. It got his mind off everything. He wasn't listening, since he was still
singing along with Linkin Park, but it averted his eyes. He was so close.. It didn't matter though.. his fighting, his
harshness, had all been in vain..
*"One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind,
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard"*
This verse, always made Yami silent, in thoughts. He couldn't really think of anyone he fought with that much. Except, now
he thought of Tristan, and how he had often fought with him. Always mocking.. Like Pegasus, almost.. Mocking him all the
time.. Fighting over petty things occasionally.. But Tristan had been wrong the other day. He said Yami was the same
arrogant fool he had been before. But Yami had changed. He had had changed so much.. If Tristan actually looked, he prolly
wouldn't know Yami was the same person. But he never really knew Yami.. Maybe this was how he had always seen the spirit..
Mistrustful.. Cruel.. Arrogant.. Tristan and Yami had more in common than they thought.. they both had something to hide
from the world..
*"And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter"*
Maybe Tristan had told Yugi to into Kaiba corp that day, knowing it was going to get bombed. Or maybe he was just as
devistated as everyone else. Yami couldn't tell anymore. But it didn't matter. Yugi was still dead. Gone. A diminished star
in a sea of dreams..
*"I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know"*
Angry again, Yami sat in a fetal position, glaring at the wall. Tristans face, smiling mockingly, swirled around his mind.
It was Tristan's fualt.. He prolly planned it all along.. Maybe even started the stupid war.. Yami didn't know.. he had
become strangers with some one he had known for years.. How..? he had trusted Tristan.. So many times.. and Tristan had
betrayed him.. forever..
"*I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter"*
Yami stopped his discman as soon as the song ended, and was about to go to bed, when he heard something interesting on the
news. "Fire Fighters everywhere are looking for volunteers to help get any survivors out of the ruble that used to be Kaiba
Corporation. Preferably young men, around eighteen years of age. There will be a meeting for all who wish to help at the
ruin tomorrow at nine o'clock AM. That's Global International, and I'm Debbie Moore. Goodnight." Yami switched off the TV
as the camera's faded out. Maybe he would volunteer..
