I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the affiliated characters. I do own Starlyte and the Dhampira Clans, Hatuhukra and Fulira.
Starlyte collapsed to the ground; her legs too weak to hold herup any longer. Blinking back tears, she tried to suppress the memory of the look with which Kaiba had left her with. Disgust and antipathy, and so completely, so utterly, did the hatred show through, that everything that ever graced those eyes before it was gone from her mind. She found even her thoughts were choked as she forced herself to hold back the tears she hadn't spilt in over three years. Tears she said she'd never spill after Cecilia's death. Swallowing hard, she forced herself to stand.
She couldn't stay like this. No, she had to find somewhere safer, somewhere that someone wouldn't walk in upon her while in an emotional slump. She stumbled her way to the room she claimed as hers. Throwing herself on her bed, she fell into an exhausted sleep. No dreams visited her that night.
