Let's Play a Little Game

Somewhere in the world

Somewhere in the world

Somewhere in the dark

I can hear the voice that calls my name

Yami needed help, and Nazura got him his help. She was his psychiatrist. And Yami was okay for about a month or so. No one mentioned Yugi when he was within earshot and no one brought up the dagger.

Might be a memory

Nazura kept it quiet too, although she was sure that people were forgetting who Yugi ever was. That's the way it went in Domino. When you died, people forgot you relatively quickly.

Might be my future

But that was not her.

Might be a love waiting for me

Nazura had what could be known as a sixth sense, she saw and spoke to the dead. Yugi's ghost would not leave. It was earth-bound.

Rock me gently

Hug me tenderly

Nazura invited Yami over one day. She intended to dig up that which had hurt him so much. She knew that he carried the dagger with him. Always.

'Til the morning breaks, night fades away

"Yami, you know what I am going to say. Give me the dagger." Nazura said, motioning for him to place the dagger in her hand.

I've spent my time in vain

Trapped inside pain

Yami's eyes dilated as the gold-colored dagger fell to the floor (nearly on one of Nazura's snakes) with a "klink" sound. Nazura saw the phantasm of Yugi appear, but Yami could not see him.

Don't let me down

Help me see the light

"Yami! Damn it listen to me! Don't go crazy on me now!!" Nazura shouted.

Feeling bitter and twisted all along

Wading through an empty life too long

"Don't you see?!" Yami cried, startling Nazura for a moment.  

"Explain." Nazura said, not really caring about the outcome.

 I close my eyes

Listen to the wind

Longing to belong to a higher place

"I was supposed to die instead. Yugi wasn't supposed to be caught up in this but he was."

Ready for everything except that.

Let me hear your voice

Let me be with you

"It was supposed to happen when I was twelve. My father was going to destroy me as part of a ritual that would grant him dominion over the world."

"What happened?"

"I…I killed him." Yami's voice dropped to a whisper, like he was ashamed about killing the psychotic raving lunatic that passed for his father.

When the shadow falls down upon me

Yami crumpled to the floor, reluctantly facing his past once more.

Like a bird singing

Like a breeze blowing

Nazura looked from him to Yugi and watched as the spirit was put to rest.

"Yami-kun, the past is over and done with. Come on. I'll reheat some macaroni & cheese for ya."

It's calling me

Somewhere in the world
