RYU NO FUKUSHU
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
**An: Why I bother to up-date, I have no idea. I don't know if any one is even reading any more, so if you're reading this right now, please review and tell me if I should even bother to keep writing. Well, here's the fic.
The girl held the knife above her head, hesitating.
Not now, I can't give up now. Not when I'm so close to finally achieving my goal. I must kill him. I've thought about this moment for so long, and now that it's finally here, I'm not sure that I can go through with it. I-I- after seeing him again, I don't think I can kill him. I-I I think I'm re- falling in lov- no! I can't! I MUST KILL HIM!
Just then the boy quivered, and looked up, his eyes round with fear.
YAMI KAGE! What have you done to him!?! He-he looks so frightened! What were you doing!?! What! Where did you get that knife!?!
We were dueling, Hikari. And he lost. Therefore, by tradition, I have the right to kill him.
The boy's eyes glazed over and he collapsed from fatigue.
KILL HIM!?! Yami Kage, you wouldn't, would you?
I must, Hikari. If I'm to have my revenge, I need to kill him now. I won't get a better chance than now, he's weak, vulnerable, and there's no one here to stop me. Unless, you want to try and stop me, Hikari.
I wouldn't dare try and stop you, Yami Kage. But I don't think you can do it. Though you have become my Yami, I think there's still light left within you.
5,000 years ago, Hikari, and you would have been right. But this is the present. I've lived thousands of life times, and I thought of only one thing, my revenge. I know the ways of men, Hikari. It's either kill, or be killed.
No, Yami Kage I don't believe you. Your heart can not be that frozen, so frozen that you are blinded by your craze for revenge. You can not see what I have felt. Your heart is melting, my Yami. You are rediscovering your love for Seto Kaiba.
NO! Are you that naive, Hikari? I-I WA-WAS N-NEVER IN LO-LOVE W-WITH SETO KAIBA! And I'm going to prove it!
Ryu razed the knife, bringing it down slowly, she carefully laid the blade across a small vein that lay exposed on the back of the boy's neck. She applied a small amount of pressure, letting a small trickle of blood run down his neck and fall to the rotting carpet.
"I-I can't do this." The girl murmured.
The prism spun around her neck and the girl shrunk back to her normal size.
"You did the right thing, my Yami. I knew you still had your light." Ryu whispered looking at the prism, which hung around her neck, before tucking it back into her shirt.
Won't you talk to me, Yami Kage?
. Leave me alone, Hikari. I need to think.
Suit your self, but if you need to talk to someone, I'm willing to listen.
Silence was the girl's only reply. Ryu looked down at the knife that her dark side had dropped, wiped the blood off, and delicately, she replaced the knife in her boot. She stared down at the unconscious form that lay before her, and felt a tear run down her cheek. Ryu rolled the boy onto his back, and lifted his head up, onto her lap. She softly ran her fingers through his hair, as she stared at his face. The blood from the cut at the back of the boy's neck started to seep through Ryu's pant leg, but she didn't care. All Ryu was concerned with was Seto. After a while, she realized how very tired she was, and how every inch of her body throbbed with pain. Ryu moved Seto over and collapsed beside him. Soon, she was over come by her need for rest and her mind was taken over by dreams.
**Ryu's Dream**
I was walking with the Pharaoh. We had been talking about the shadow game that we just finished. He had won, of course. He always did.
"You sent out all your monsters as soon as you got them, you couldn't control them as well as you could have if you had just summoned them one at a time. You need to think more about your move, before you make it," the king of games said smoothly.
"Thank you, my Pharaoh. I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I duel you. Thank you for helping me with my strategy." I said as I bowed my head.
"It's no problem, you show some talent I-" The Pharaoh began to say before a tall purple clad boy rushed towards us.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you my Pharaoh," the boy said bowing. "but may I have a word?"
"No trouble at all Seto, but have you met Ryu? She's my new dueling partner, and actually she's quite good you should duel her some time," the Pharaoh said waving his hand in my direction.
"I'll make a point of that," Seto said shaking my hand, and staring into my eyes. "Any ways," He said turning to the Pharaoh, "I wanted to talk to you about the-" But I wasn't listing. I was too busy thinking about what all had just happened. Not only had the game king complimented me on my skills as a duelist, but I also met the High Mage Seto Kaiba!
After that, the dream seemed to go into fast-forward, I seemed to be standing in one place, while everyone else moved around and changed before my eyes. A year passed in this manner, many more duels were fought with the Pharaoh, and I just got better and better, to the point that I could nearly beat him, but he always found a way to come back. He taught me about the Heart of the Cards, and how every monster has a soul that needs to be respected. I was a much better duelist. But Seto still hadn't dueled me, though we had become very close. So close, in fact, that I was willing to do almost anything for him, and he knew it.
"Ryu, I need to talk to you." Seto said grabbing me by my wrist.
"What is it Seto?" turning to look up into those endless blue eyes.
"I need to talk to you, but not here. Come with me." he said, looking away.
I followed him through the streets, until we arrived at the temple where I knew the Mages preformed their most sacred ceremonies.
"Why are we here, Seto?" I asked looking around.
"I need to talk to you about something, and no one else must hear." Seto whispered, looking around. "I need you to help me."
"Any way that I can, I'll be glad to help you." I replied.
"Good. I need you to learn all that you can about King Yami's deck, and tell the information to me. I need to know everything about his deck, every card, and exactly how to conquer it." Seto said, staring down at me, and clenching his hand into a fist.
"But why? What for?" I asked innocently.
"For the Plan." Seto said, smiling sinisterly.
**An: Sorry about the Dream thing being in first person (and if it was confusing), I couldn't think of a better way to do it.
