Darkness and Inspiration
Yugi
Kohari: Again, I had another idea at 4:30 in the morning. That is just plain scary. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing. I need my beauty sleep.
Random member of the audience: No sht.
Kohari: Oh, shut up! Who asked you?! (that was meant to be funny. Sorry it wasn't). Anywho, I couldn't find any characters to do the disclaimer, so I'll do it. Oh, and I know I said this was a one-shot, but...hey. It's not like everyone in the world's reading this anyway (are they?). But...moving right along. I do not own any anime show, manga, etc. I own only myself and the stuff my parents buy me. Let's go!
Yugi and Yami (This is Yugi. /This is Yami/. 'Kay? Sorry for the interruption.)
Yami?
/Yes, Yugi./
I can't sleep.
/Why is that?/
I don't know. For some reason, every time I close my eyes, I see...Tea.
/Hmm./
It's strange. It's been like this for a few days now. I've noticed a lot more than that too.
/Like what?/
Like, I find myself glancing at her more in class. And I think about her a lot more, too. I daydream about dates with her, and -
/It seems to me like you're in love./
In love? I can't be.
/How else can you explain this phenomenon inside your mind?/
Well, I have started feeling more for her recently. I blush every time she asks me a question. I don't understand. She's just a friend. Why am I thinking of these things now?
/Because your heart is speaking to you, and you are listening./
But...even if I am...how am I...supposed to let her know?
/.../
I can't. It's just a crush. Right? It has to be. She's just a friend. Nothing more.
/Oh, Yugi./
She is, right? And that's how she sees me, right? I've been happy that way, I'm not about to change it now.
/True, she is a friend -/
Right!
/However, she is a friend who means a lot to you. And a friend who has always been there for you, no matter what the circumstances./
Like Joey and Tristen.
/You don't feel the exact same things for Joey and Tristen that you do for Tea./
No, but -
/Yugi, listen to me./
Tea's just a friend! She has to be (a/n: He's freaking out right now. He's in denial. After this statement he calms down.)! If I told her I loved her, she'd never forgive me.
/Forgive you for what? For that which destiny has in store for you?/
She'd hate me for it (a/n: he's freaking out again)! She'd think I'd want more than just a friendship, and I'm happy with what I have now! The relationship we have now is enough! I'm happy the way it is!
/And what kind of relationship would that be?/
What is that supposed to mean?!
/If you'll recall, you've been out with her. And you've rescued her at least once./
And I've saved Kaiba!
/Yes, but Kaiba didn't go on a date with you. Please, Yugi. Trust my words. You are trying to convince yourself that what you feel for Tea is just friendship, when you know deep down, it's something more. (a/n: he, at least, is remaining calm)/
No! It's not! You're wrong!
/No, I'm not. But you can see this the way you want to. No one is telling you that you have to believe me. You cannot run from this forever, Yugi. Now, calm down and go to sleep. You need it./
I'm sorry, Yami. I shouldn't've yelled.
/All is forgiven, friend. Now, as I said, go to sleep./
Maybe you're right, though. Maybe I do love her. But I can't tell her that. At least, not just yet. I need time to get used to this feeling. And to get up the courage to tell her. (Yawn). Good night, Yami. (Zzzz)
/Good night...Oh, Yugi. If only you would do as your heart tells you. But then, tomorrow is another day. And maybe one tomorrow, you'll take control of your own destiny...instead of mine./
Kohari: It's over! Okay, these first couple of chapters are just going to be thoughts. Next is Anzu/Tea. Review, please!
