Title: Night no more
Quick Authors note: Apologies to my readers. I was discouraged after numerous months of poor dubbing for Yami Malik's voice. But now I have found the faith to continue writing this again!
As I enter the school, I can't help but choke back a sob. Once long ago, we used to enter this place together, joking and laughing, thinking about everything from the smallest little whim to what we would eat for lunch. I never understood why you did some of the things you did, but even then you always made me smile.
"Jonouchi…" I whisper as I take a seat, glancing at the empty desk where you once sat. How long had I waited for you? How many minutes had I counted on past days before you finally arrived. You were always late, but I didn't mind. Even so, I wished that I could tell you before it too late. "But now I can't anymore."
Anzu came by and tried to cheer me up. I put on a happy face for her, so that she does not worry about me. Everyone thinks that I am ok. Wait. Almost everyone.
Aibou, you are suffering aren't you? I can feel your pain as if it were my own, and I am worried about you. Yami whispers to me. I can feel his warmth surround me again, lending me his strength and will, and perhaps even a few duel monsters tactics. Yugi, no matter what happens, I will always be here for you. Any time, any day.
No sooner had he sent me these thoughts when the object which angered and confused me the most, the object of my desires and concerns, walked into the room. With a small smile, as if to say that nothing was wrong, I said, "You're late again."
With a small flick of his thumb across his nose he smirked, "If I wasn't then I wouldn't be me."
Even though I knew he had fallen to the darkness, just seeing him made my soul feel like a beautiful carnation in bloom. The carnation would be pink, tinged at the ends with red for the passion I felt in my heart. The passion to save him from the darkness.
