Losing Control: The Opponent Changes
Lavender orbs cloud with anger,
a low growl escapes from
clenched pearly whites.
The boy sits there,
the ice melting in his hands and
dripping onto his sleek black pants and the
ruby carpet below his feet.
A ray of sunlight bounces off the
golden rod gripped tightly in one shaking hand;
the eye glows with a newfound light,
as the boy attempts, once more, to
take control of the lost situation. And once again,
he fails. He watches the duel through the eyes of his slave,
through the eyes of the blonde whose
mind belongs to him now. And looking through those
eyes, his gaze falls on the short,
navy-clad figure on the opposite side of the deck, frustration
scribbled in his red-violet eyes. A
malicious grin twists the features of the boy,
and he lets loose a roar of dark, terrifying laughter.
But suddenly, the red-violet eyes widen and
fade into a deep violet tinted with
ruby. The navy-clad figure shrinks,
and those orbs fill with sparkling tears.
"Joey, I will free you!" the figure cries, in a shaking, childish voice.
The bucket crashes to the carpet, ice scattering everywhere, as the boy
surges to his feet, his face painted with
dark, boiling hatred. The hand gripping the rod turns
pale and shakes violently, as he
curls his other hand in a tight fist. Overcome with
anger and frustration, he unleashes a single cry:
"I DON'T WANT YUGI! I WANT THE PHARAOH!"
Nani? You want…? O.o~***~
This is one of the only inspirations I got from the dub, and that's only because Malik does not say that line in the original. (I don't remember what he says, but that's definitely not it.) But I thought it kind of ironic how 4Kids worked hard to erase all hints of yaoi, and yet that one line, interpreted a certain way, undoes everything. (Not to mention the many yaoi fanfictions they set themselves up for…)
Misura: (Did I ever mention how much I love your fanfictions? ^_^) Thank you so much! You've made my day with your review! And yes, Ryou does own his own deck. Actually, technically speaking, Ryou and his yami have the same deck. But then, do you ever really see Ryou duel?
Stay tuned next time for the next installment of Oddities: An Anthology of Crazy YuGiOh! Poems. Thank you, and have a nice day.
