In the Mind of a Killer
By Shadu
Prologue
The skies overhead were grey and overcast, mirroring the mood below. Small liguid jewels shattered on impact with the soft curves of his face as he looked to the sky. The pure water of the soaking rain mixed with his own salty tears. It was as if the sky, the heavens were crying with him. They showered him, splashing water on his face, cooling it. He stared up at the sky, though his eyes stung even more with each crystal drop. His hair dripped, realeasing the excess water from its grasp. It's not like he cared any more. Nothing mattered. He was numb, and he felt nothing but sorrow. His gaze fell back to the stone before him, his eyes scanning over it, reading it for the thousandth time in two hours.
Yugi J. Mutou
1990-2005
May his soul remain forever pure
May he know that he will be forever remembered, forever treasured, and forever missed
This time, he couldn't take it. He had been Yugi's mentor, and he had let him down. He had protected Yugi, and this, he couldn't stop.
He fell to his hands and knees, his body sinking down into the freshly disturbed grave below. Tears poured out of his eyes.
"Why!" he cried out to no one in particular. "Why did you have to be taken so soon, when I still had so much to teach you! Why did you have to be taken at all! Why couldn't it have been me!" his voice lowered at bit as he dug his fingers into the soft mud. "They were aiming for me. Why didn't you let it strike me, like it was supposed to? Why couldn't it have been me in your grave?" a rage began to build inside him as he gritted his teeth. "It won't end like this," he promised. "I will have my revenge. Justice will be served."
If any one had been there, they would've noticed something. A change had occurred. A change not only in the attitude of him, but his eyes. His eyes went from a gentle violet to a subdued red. The red was subdued by the violet. And that was a sign of change.
As he stood to his feet, the rain came down harder.
