This is dedicated to my beloved Jounouchi Katsuya, whom I have deemed my brother out of my ever-flowing love and appreciation for him. I love you Jounouchi, and I am sorry if I remind you of unpleasant times. Aishiteru Onii-san.

Darkness…

It's everywhere around me…

Through me-

Covering me-

Saving me-

from him.

I shudder slightly while pushing myself against the dusty discarded boxes that stayed hidden in the closet. Their contains are unimportant.

Darkness hide me.

Maybe I lost him, not that I, am now lost to the world.

Ears still ringing from the angry screeching-

Glass embedded in my mind.

Broken glass.

The only sound now is that of my breathing.

Stalker coming closer-

He's always one step behind me.

I don't want to experience body closeness of another towards mine.

I don't want a special 'Father-son' relationship anymore-

Ever!

I never said yes to anything.

The sound of heavy footsteps enters the room.

Eyes tear, tears falling to their deaths.

He's coming…

Uncontrollably, I am unable to cease my breathing-

My other senses climb to new heights.

The only source of light emanates from under the door.

Light hates me.

I block off the accursed light by shutting off that sense.

Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts.

Shizuka.

My sister's image graces my presence.

She smiles at me through her almond red hair, and stares with misty eyes.

Misty green-eyed sister.

The only love that I have ever experienced comes from my sibling.

Shisuta…

I put my head to my knees.

Footsteps echo in the light.

Breath catches quickly before it is lost.

God help me.

The shadows of the phantom creep through the openings of light.

He's found me.
