Rath- Hello! Oh, dear, I haven't updated for over two months!
Set- Now Rath realizes so…
Rath- Okay, well, thankies for the patience and enjoy!
Set- Yes, indeed.
-We no own Yu-gi-oh-
Notes-
I'm thinking of starting another story, one based upon the "adventures of Seto and Mokuba"; a humor and drama genre that's pretty much showing the antic dots of brothers and also with a bit of angst thrown in. Tell me what ya' think, okay? I swear it'll be better than it sounds.
Feh, I'm being completely ridiculous! How the hell could a single maniacal spirit that doesn't even have his own body, affect the world? And even so, how the hell could a whimp like Yu-gi stop him? I don't think I've ever come up with such foolish thoughts… I then again strayed from my thoughts to concentrate on the quarrel between the two nitwits before me.
"We will play a Shadow Game to finish this, Seito." Shadi stated bluntly, his fist clenched, as if he were holding back a punch his dignity and common sense would not allow him to throw. Who knows what bas-Seito would have done to him then. Why, why do I keep on correcting myself? This is my mind, not that bastards. I can say what I wish in the sanctity of a mind that every human being is gifted with. Okay, I must pay attention this time, I do not wish to have any more surprises…
Seito stood there, the smile on his face that of his own twisted sense of humor. He rapped his hands on a near by desk and answered Shadi calmly, with the beguilement of a cobra.
"Oh, please, Shadi, my good man! We shan't waste our time on petty little antics that I pull during the day! You have better things to do than to worry 'bout little 'ole me." He smirked, laying across the desk, a clawed hand resting on his forehead in further jest. Shadi mumbled something under his breath as his frown deepened. Guess I'm not the only one Seito annoys the hell outta.
"Come, we will settle this before you wreak more havoc upon this world." The room became darkened and all lights and faces disappeared into an inky darkness.
"What the hell?" I yelled as the desk disappeared from beneath me and I fell hard to an invisible floor. I glared at Shadi then at Seito, who was floating in the air, as if the desk were still there. His insane smile remained as he jumped into the hair, doing a few flips before landing gracefully on his feet, and then bowing to the still ill tempered Shadi.
"And for my next trick, I pull from the flesh of my hand, my deck!" He raised his hand high above his other hand, then dove the claws deep into the flesh. I yelled out in pain as suddenly my hand began to be consumed with pain, pain that crawled all over the rest of my skin. It hurt so much… My only thoughts were to rid myself of the pain, I knelt down and cradled the hand, watching it hang limp on my wrist. I could feel and see my veins rushing with blood in my arm.
Blood spurted quickly from his hand but then dimmed to a steady flow, like the water of the Nile. The blood dripped from his hand and elbow, despite the uniform sleeve soaking up some blood. As the crimson fell it slowly was swallowed by the blackness of the shadows that threatened to clasp itself around us too.
"Be happy, hikari, pain is good, it lets you know you're alive." He grinned at me, apparently he felt no pain, or he was too twisted too care…
"Fuck off." I snapped at him through my closed teeth still staring at my hand. It felt as though a metal scorpion was crawling beneath my skin, ripping apart at the flesh in my hand. I looked up to see Seito's hand inside the other, digging around searching for something. The sight of so did not help and I diverted my attention back to the now pleasant sight of my un-bloodied hand. He laughed suddenly and I felt one last sharp pain before my hand soon went numb.
"Finally, I thought I'd never find it!" He held a pack of cards, covered in blood. I shuddered and looked over at Shadi, who was horror stricken at the scene before him. He looked over at me, his eyes drenched in pity. I did not want his pity though, I never would. I noticed my labored breathing and could picture myself as I was now. Yes, it was pathetic… I lay on my side, still cradling my hand and tried to calm myself, telling myself the pain would subside and I'd be strong again…
"Aww, is poor hikari sick?" Seito taunted me. I was now too tired to care. Let him do what he wishes, it matters not now. I'd deal with him later, damned bastard. But, I watched in silence as Shadi drew his own deck out. He settled it out in front of him, and it hung in the air, perfectly balanced and level.
"Let us du-"
"No." Seito cut in. Shadi gave him an odd look.
"Why? You have your deck, are you not prepared?"
"No, I'm not prepared. I've not seen my deck for over a thousand years and you expect me to duel? This fool could have changed it." He said, nodding his head over to me. My deck was fine-tuned and perfect, how the hell could he say that?
"I suggest another, shorted, less time consuming game… A game of Prediction and Truth." His mad grin widened.
"How does one play such a game?"
"Well, we will each draw a card from our deck, the more powerful one will win, as usual. Best two out of three. Who ever grasps victory will not be buried within this worst than hell of a place. " Shadi looked hesitant for a moment, but then wavered and answered.
"But what is the point of that, rather than a duel? It is based of that of the strength of the cards in your deck."
"Ah, but, you see, I'm unsure if I can compile strategies that will work with this deck. I doubt this fool could strategize, let alone think in general." I promised myself I would beat the shit out of him later for such a comment… My deck is perfect.
"But you said that it was your deck, not his, what would his have to do with yours?" Shadi pressed on.
"Oh, simply the fact that my true deck is gone and buried with the worms of the Earth, I needed a new one, a fresh start, pulled from the mind and hand of myself, or rather my newest self." Seito smiled, jabbing a thumb at me. Shadi still looked hesitant, analyzing Seito's game, for any problems.
"Fine, let us begin."
"Begin we shall. My first card is, oh, how nice a La Jinn…" He said sarcastically.
"And I draw, Dark Elf. She beats your monster's 1000 attack points by 1000." Seito sighed and drew another card.
"One to zero. Let us continue. Raigeki. I automatically win, I would have whipped out what ever you had." Shadi drew his next card anyway; Maiden of the Moon. He would have lost.
"One to One, next round decides."
Rath- Okay, who will win? You'll have to wait and see! ^_^ Thankies and ja ne!
Set- Later.
