Whisper Again
Well, I'm back in the here and now.
Anzu has been replaced with ME!!! Because I know that you all don't like her!
I took a test on quizilla that told me how much I hate her.
I ranked as absolute hate.
Anyways...
Anthy is our replacement.
She shouldn't be too unfamiliar, but just to everyone who hasn't read Noah's Song...she's Noah's lost twin...dropped on a doorstep at the age of a few months. But she knows who she is and is a great duelist within herself.
The one problem is that computers love her. She has a "beast" of a computer under Kaiba Corp called "Chimera" (Think Satsuki from X/1999 or Serial Experiments Lain)
And she has a large tattoo of her God Slayer Dragon (Koryu) on her back.
All the cards in her deck do not exist...don't try looking for them.
And...she is NOT an MS.
So there.
Also appearing are Jetta (owned by Aramis Thorongil) and Kaylynn (owned by Azuril Noir Raine)
Now...bla and even more blah...
Ochiiru Yami
Remember its meaning people!
Okays....
We starts now.

Whisper Again
You Don't Remember, But I Do...
Bright and early the next day, friends began showing up at the game shop in order to try to get Yami to remember. Anthy came early, helping set up a card table in the living room to play Duel Monsters. And she brought Noah in her laptop.
She had dressed in her "mirror Yami" outfit of a black shirt and dog collar. She wore black shorts with the classic "double belt" of Yami attire, one actually for her pants and one to hold her deck. She had knee-high boots with buckles up the front. She wore a pendant the size of the Sennen Eye. It was the shape of a four point star with a great black Eye of Horus in the center with black lightning bolts streaming from it. Her eyes were snake-like and red, and rose earrings hung limply from her earlobes.
Jonouchi, Jetta and Honda came next, ready to play a few practice duels.
Jetta had long reddish hair and wore a Milwaukee Admirals t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She wore a pair of double-cross earrings and had her One Ring hanging on a chain around her neck. Her eyes were a brilliant cobalt blue, and she was the unofficial mother to the group.
The final group who came was Seto, Mokuba, and Kaylynn.
Kaylynn had bright auburn hair pulled back in a pony tail. She wore a red tube top and low cut jeans with tie-up-the-front boots. Her ankh necklace hung around her neck and Malik-style earrings hung from her ears. She had blue-gray eyes that were constantly changing from one color to another.
Yugi was waiting in the game shop for the time Yami/Ochiiru entered. He wore a chite shirt and jeans. They smiled at each other before going upstairs to where the group was waiting.
Kaylynn and Jonouchi were dueling, and it hadn't gotten vulgar yet. Mokuba was talking to the Noah-laptop. Seto was watching the duel on Kaylynn's side while Honda stood on Jonouchi's side, with the two of them insulting each other. Anthy wasn't in the room at the moment. They all stopped and looked at Yami.
"Um...hi, my name is Ochiiru."
They all smiled in some form before Yugi introduced them. Seto, Mokuba, Noah, Honda, Jonouchi, Kaylynn and Jetta.
"Seto, where's Anthy?" Yugi asked, him and Yami/Ochiiru walking over to look at the duel.
There was the deafening noise of something hitting the floor followed by a frightened cry. All eyes flew to the doorway, where Anthy stood with a look of shock on her face. She had dropped a glass of water on the carpet and her hands were at her face.
Memories are just where you laid them
"Y...Yami?" Her whispery voice asked the silence.
Kaylynn rose from her chair and the duel and she lead Anthy outside.
"That is Anthy; she was...my brother's best friend..." Yugi said solemnly.
Dragging waters 'til the depths give up their dead
"Hey...Ochiiru, have you ever played Duel Monsters?" Seto asked, knowing full well that this was Yami.
"Um...no..."
"Then we'll show you."
After just teaching "Yami" the basics, Anthy and Kaylynn reentered. Anthy seemed like she had a better grip on things. She pulled her deck from its pouch on the second belt like it was a challenge.
What did you expect
to find?
Was it something you left behind?
Don't you remember
everything I said when I said
"Who's ready? Seto, you brought duel disks...like asked...right?"
Seto held up his briefcase and nodded. They went outside and into the empty street. Anthy looked around. She asked who wanted to duel her, with no memory, "Ochiiru" accepted. Yugi handed him "his" deck and Seto showed him how the duel disk worked. Anthy clipped a little metal piece to her ear and they all watched as wires and circuitry came from her arm to create a sinister-looking duel disk.
Don't fall away
And
leave me to myself
Don't fall away
"I'm not showing mercy just because you're you." Anthy said.
"I'm not expecting any."
And leave love
bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
"You go first Ochiiru."
"I place two cards face down and play Gamma the Magnet Warrior in attack mode."
Leave love bleeding
in my hands
In my hands
"I set two cards face down and play a monster face down defense mode."
"I summon Beta the Magnet warrior in attack mode and attack!"
"You've just made your first mistake! Celestine...Arise!!"
Love lies bleeding
From the face-down card came a great navy-blue horse with a white fire mane and tail. It crushed Beta with one strike from its hooves. Anthy was right. This would be a no mercy match. Yugi had known this, and had put Osiris in the deck Yami was using. Anthy placed one more card and summoned a small cat with fluffy wings onto the field (named Kakui).
Oh hold me now, I feel contagious
"I sacrifice Gamma to summon the Black Magician girl! Attack Celestine!"
"Activate trap! Child's Dream! You BMG is under my control now!"
Am I the only place that you've left to go?
Seto put one hand over his mouth. This was all Yami, all of it. His manner, his actions, everything? But why? Why this? Why him? And if so, who was pulling the strings inside his mind now? Who was controlling him? Who made him like this? Seto backed out, excusing himself and taking the Noah-laptop with him. They were going to find whoever did this.
"I sacrifice your Black Magician Girl in order to activate the Blood Door Ritual, changing Kakui into Chaos Rayith."
She cries that life is like some movie black and white
Yami/Ochiiru watched as the fluffy cat thing became larger, and panther-like. It had a set of great bird wings and thousands of golden ankh pieces of jewelry.
"Chaos Rayith! Stand at the Ready!"
Dead actors, vacant
lies
Over and over and over again she cries
Anthy gave Yami grace for three turns, only summoning her Black Magician in those turns while Yami acquired three monsters. They all knew. She wanted him to summon Osiris.
If he summons a God, that might be able to jog his memory...she thought
Don't fall away
And
leave me to myself
And it happened. The sky darkened and Ochiiru summoned Osiris. They all watched then as he cringed, hand over one eye, like this was reviving a memory. Behind his closed eyes, Ochiiru/Yami saw A memory of himself fighting a rare hunter to get this card. But he opened his eyes and straightened up, smirking.
Don't fall away
And
leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
"I'm going all out!" He said.
Leave love bleeding
in my hands
In my hands
"Bring it." Anthy said, dangerous smile playing her face.
Love lies bleeding
"Well, I'll give you one turn to summon something to defeat God."
"More than enough."
There was silence as Anthy drew her card. She looked over at Yami with that same dangerous look.
And I wanted
"You now can meet the God Slayer...I sacrifice my Black Magician..."
The Black Magician looked back at her and the two winked at each other, both carrying the same evil glint in their eyes.
"To summon Koryu! The God Slayer Dragon!!!"
You turned away
There was a loud screech and from the clouds descended a great dragon with white scales and silver armor. It spread its enormous wings. Osiris and Koryu screeched and screamed at each other. Anthy recognized it, they weren't intimidating each other...they were talking.
You don't remember
Ochiiru cringed again, almost to the point of dropping to his knees. Behind his eyes he saw Koryu, tearing through the sky and hitting Rah with full force. Blood of the God had sprayed everywhere. He saw Anthy, seething with rage, and Seto backing her. He saw Ishtaru step back in fear.
But I do
"Koryu, we have to do this..."
Another screech came from both Koryu and Osiris. They both nodded. Anthy bowed her head.
"Koryu, attack Osiris!"
There was a bloodcurdling scream, followed by the sound of ripping flesh as a downpour of Osiris's blood rained upon the street.
You never even tried
Nothing more came from Ochiiru/Yami. He threw the duel disk to the ground and ran. Anthy watched him. They all did.
"Seto will find out what happened." Kaylynn said.
"He's better...or we're hosed." Jonouchi said.
Don't fall away
And
leave me to myself
Don't fall away
"Anthy, did you really have to do that, I mean, I know the blood was a hologram...but to flood his memory like that..." Jetta asked.
"Well...with any luck at all, that will be the beginning. The start. Now he'll question those memories..."
And leave love bleeding in my hands
Yami ran home and slammed the door, images of that he had seen flooding him. He was frightened, he didn't remember, he didn't know.
"Ochiiru-kun, are you home already?"
The woman walked up to Yami, one cold hand placing itself on his face. She led him into the basement, much to Yami's mental dismay.
In my hands again
"Well...since you're home early, we can play longer..."
Yami was pushed onto a cross-shaped table, his arms and legs bound with chains. The woman picked a large knife from its place on the wall and cut Yami's shirt to shreds with one fell swoop.
Leave love bleeding
in my hands
In my hands again
"Now...shall we..."
Leave love bleeding
in my hands
In my hands again
Blood, scent of blood, a boy who will lie bleeding
Technology, that which will aid three lives
Memory, all that can be used to remember
Find him quick, horses and games
Find him soon, computer child
And when he remembers...
Ah...the sweet suspense to addict like a drug...
