Silent Knife

Echoes Down the Halls

What happened to me?

Where am I?

I don't want to go back

Back to that dark place

But he's here...

I know he will be back

Will "it" happen again?

Will I go back to the dark place?

Yami was not in his head. He was quiet, shy, and afraid. His entire personality was shattered. Who he was and who he used to be was dead. He was no longer the strong and proud nameless pharaoh. He was no longer Yami no Yugi. He was just a hollow shell of what he once was. The Yami who was once strong was dead. There was nothing left but silence and cruel reality.

Seto had Yami stay at his mansion, and Anthy and Chimera watched him somehow in some way. (Just think of Chimera as a cooler and more "alive" version of Beast from X/1999). Yami wandered around with dull and lifeless eyes. His had a soft blue robe (like a bathrobe or something of the sort) that he wore almost all the time. It seemed to protect him from the world.

The mansion was silent, and there was nothing to even suggest sound but the dull footsteps of Yami as he wandered aimlessly thought the corridors of the mansion. He sought out a hallway that was long and well lit. As he slowly wandered down them...his thoughts began to echo off the walls.

'Has Ishtaru manipulated me this entire time? Him...speaking to me in my own voice and making me think I was hearing my own conscious. I lost sight of my own reason, and I became weak...I built up my defenses only to have that which I never thought of take me and destroy me. It left me hollow and empty...'

Yami stopped halfway down the hall. His hand was curled into a fist, now blaming himself for what had happened as his own weakness. He dropped to his knees, crossing his arms over his chest, tears welling up in his eyes.

'The dark place is coming back...and I will die again.'

'Yes...It will come once more...and you can't resist me...'

Yami stood up, wiped his eyes and they became dull once more. He slowly walked down the hallway, with nothing but his sorrows and the silence to comfort him.
