Whisper
Alive?
I took their smiles and I made them mine.
When Yami slowly opened his good eye, he was lying on his back and Cervante was sitting next to him. He was pulling arrows from the nameless pharaoh's arm and bandaging it. There was a bandaged wrapped tightly around Yami's left eye and bandages around the hole in his chest.
"You're awake. Surprising, you've only been out for an hour." Cervante said emotionlessly.
I,
Yami tried to open his mouth to say something, but no words came. Cervante looked at him, turning away from the last arrow for only a moment before pulling said arrow out forcefully and began to wash it out and bandage the wound.
I sold my soul just to hide the light.
"I am impressed, being able to summon the black unicorn. Only those who have seen a unicorn or have been at a place where a unicorn has been born are supposed to be able to summon it."
And now I see what I really am,
A thief a whore, and a liar.
"I…I saw two of them on…on the edge of…the Nile…when…I was a…kid…" Yami said weakly. It hurt to speak.
"Do not speak, only think your words." Cervante said, pouring some water into a dish.
Cervante pulled Yami into a sitting position and held him there. He tilted the nameless pharaoh's head back and slowly poured some of the water into his mouth. Yami closed his eyes and let the cool water slide down his throat.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
"You ask why you're not dead? Shaher can't kill you yet. Why? Your little aibou can sense if you're alive or not; and his mother, the Firebird, would sense her son's grief and the two would converge upon this realm, seeking to destroy everything."
I see you there, father away.
Yami was laid back down and he turned to Cervante, mind still asking questions. He wanted to know. He tried to speak once more, but the dark angel placed one soft yet cold hand over the boy's mouth. Yami shuddered and reluctantly formed the words in his mind.
I'm numb to you - numb and deaf and blind.
"Why does that matter? The Firebird has as much power, if not more, than God himself. Shaher can't touch either of them…not until he becomes the Sacred Demon. Then he will have enough power to destroy Heaven and the Firebird and her son. Then he may do what he wishes with you."
You give me all but the reason why.
I reach but I feel only air at night.
Cervante stood up and left the room, leaving Yami cold, tired and alone.
Not you, not love, just nothing.
Yugi stood on the roof of the game shop, staring into the east. His eyes were dilated and his body was glowing a faint yellow-orange color. Two wings made of flames emerged from his back and folded gently behind him. His eyes saw what the world did not see. The Firebird stood in front of him, eyes staring down at him in a motherly fashion.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away.
"Yami is gone…" Yugi said, trying not to break down and cry.
"Do you know where he is?" The firebird asked, speaking in words only Yugi could understand.
"There…there was a fallen angel…his…I think his name was…Shaher…or something like that…"
Try to forget you,
But without you I feel nothing.
"Shaher?!" Fury was building inside her. She knew Shaher, she knew him and why he had been banished.
Don't leave me here, by myself.
I can't breathe.
"Mother, is Yami going to die?" Yugi asked, purple eyes shining with tears.
A slight silence fell over them.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away.
"Yugi, Shaher can't kill the pharaoh yet. He knows that you and I can destroy him in an instant. He will wait, maybe until he can gain ultimate power. Enough to destroy God himself. That is his plan. Yami will live, but I don't know for how long."
Yugi dropped to his knees and began to cry. The Firebird could not say anything, she melted away into her own dimension, being unable to help as of yet.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away,
Yugi slipped back indoors, into bed, and cried himself to sleep as the sun came up.
Farther away,
@@@
Anthy: Review!
NB: Mew.
