Yami: *looks at the title* Aw man…
Starkiss: Ya! ^_^
Yami: But WHY post it?!?! You know I'm not too fond of this fic.
Starkiss: Reason number one.
Yami: -___- Ra I hate you, Starkiss.
Starkiss: I know. Now then! Let us get on with it!

Yugi the bad-ass
Chapter 1, Waiting
~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~ Yami's POV ~*~
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
The seconds turned into minutes.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
The minutes turned into quarter hours.
Tick, tick, tick tick.
The quarter hours turned into half-hours.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
And the half-hours turned into whole hours.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
I knew that I should just go to bed, but what good would it do me? I can't go to bed knowing that he's still out there…
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Somewhere.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Hmm, somewhere. The funny thing about it is that it's just a trivial little word. But to me, there's nothing funny, nor trivial about it.
Not if I don't know where he is.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
I glance at the clock. The needles are indicating that it's almost three o'clock.
Well, if he were to walk in now, he'd be… oh, I don't know…
5 hours late.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Five hours?! … No, that's not abnormal. It's been worse. Many more days, and many more hours worse, in fact.
This would be considered a good day for him. Really.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
I'm getting worried. I can't help but be worried for him, because… I'm not sure.
I guess it's because I'm still in charge of him. I'm still here to help him, and I'm still here to take care of him.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Now I'm getting impatient. Waiting's never been my strong suit. Especially when it comes to waiting for him. It wouldn't've been the first time I'd have to go rescue him from some sleazy pub or something.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
In all this thinking, I've forgotten all about the rain. It's coming down in heavy sheets, streaking the windows and drowning the lawn. It's awful.
I've only seen one thunderstorm worse than this.
The past 6 years of my life.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
I've had to endure the horrible transformation from good to evil.
I stood by and watched helplessly, as he slowly became a monster.
I couldn't help him out of his pit of despair and sorrow.
And I hated every minute of it.
FLASH!
The lightning flashes, illuminating the dark house. It reminds me of the wonderful light I used to know and love six years ago.
But it's very far from being the same.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
He litterally slipped through my fingers, becoming an unreal reality for someone as gentle and pure as him.
I've endured immense pain on great levels. I've seen the effects of some of man's worst inventions. I've listened to harsh words and felt painful blows.
He's sunken in too deep for help now.
But I still believe.
And, believe it or not, despite all this, what he says, or does…
I still care.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Yami: Woah… angst issues, much?
Starkiss: You'd better believe it. This story is going to be overflowing with angst and drama… so says my genre.
Yami: I see.
Starkiss: Indeed.

Stay tuned for chapter two, people!

Have a glorious day,
