Chapter 11: Realization of the Tormentor Part Two
Work was just too much for me to handle today. All those annoying voices, they always gave me a migraine. Always with the stupid questions like they can't figure out anything themselves. They were like helpless children today. Crying because they were too slow to figure out anything. Why did I hire them? All they do is whine, moan and drink all the damn coffee. I could use a cup right now. Of course, the vampires drank it all like the coffee beans were blood. Damn them all to eternal hell. Bastards! I want some caffeine!
I need to finish this last figure. Just a few more numbers to squeeze in. Come on, Seto Kaiba, you can do it!
A fucking monkey could do it, Seto!
What? Who?
Who else, Seto? You thought I would leave you alone like you wanted? Ha! You're more thickheaded than I could have ever imagined!
But…but…but…
Stuttering isn't solving your problems, Seto. You're just a pile of dirt, covering your uselessness across my company!
Your company? Kaiba Corp. is mine…
Yours? Yours?
Yes, it is mine. Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp. Everyone in the world understands that logic.
Everyone in the world does not include me, however.
What makes you think you can be a part of the world? You don't exist! You can't exist. You just don't exist!
Seto, my dear boy, I'm afraid your raves will not save you from the truth.
And what is the truth?
That I do indeed exist, Seto. I exist because of you. I am still here, in this world, because of you.
Impossible!
Nothing is impossible, Seto.
But…you…you can't be in my head. You just can't be. Logic…
I used to believe in your logic too. But, as I rest here in your mind, I can no longer see it as the truth.
But it's not true…you can't be here. GET OUT!
I cannot leave Seto. I am a part of you until you realize your logic is illogical.
What the hell does that mean?
Are you really that stupid? It means…it means…uh…well…you see, it means that…uh…
You don't have a clue, do you?
Honestly, I don't think I do…huh, how ironic. Here I am, messing with your mind, and I can't even think of a reason how I got here in the first place. Strange.
So, how about I make up some out of the blue guess as to why you are in my mind.
Well, if you think it will help you…
Yes, it will.
All right then…
I guess you're here, in my mind, because…revenge?
Oh, that would make sense, huh?
Maybe. Maybe, perhaps not.
It is rather confusing if you really look at it.
Yes, it is. But now then, would you be ever so kind as to leave me alone!
Seto, I told you, I can't!
Why not? I want you to get the fuck out of my head. Quit whispering in my ear, in my mind or however you do it…just stop with these random, insane conversations and go!
Uh, let's see…that was a compelling argument…
Yes?
No. Sorry, can't do it.
WHY THE FUCK NOT?
Seto, I already told you. I can't leave until you realize that you are thinking illogically. Plain and clear…well, not really clear, but you get my point!
Not really. I don't think I do…
Damn it, Seto! I am not leaving your mind. I guess I do want my rage to fulfill my revenge! I want revenge on you Seto! I want to hear you cry from the pain…of whatever I plot my revenge on…so, ha!
Well, then…I just want to know if I am right in thinking who you really are…
Could you rephrase that? I was kind of lost in whatever you just said…it actually made no real sense to me at all…
Can I make a guess as to who you are?
Seto.
What?
Seto.
Huh?
I'm you, stupid fuck!
That's what you want me to think…
Yes.
See it's true…you're lying.
What?
You aren't me at all…
I think I should just end this ridiculous conversation already and reveal myself.
That would clear up so much for me. I am a busy man and all…
Shut up Seto. For once…please, shut it!
Well, are you who I think you are?
I am the one who had the most to lose. You were the one who had the most to gain.
Huh?
I was powerful and you were in the shadows.
Uh huh.
I was stuck in an office while you were stuck in books.
Okay, okay. Enough of the contrasting! Who are you?
My dear boy, I am…
You are…
Why did you just interrupt me?
Huh?
Seto, why did you interrupt me?
I'm…I'm…
I'm about to reveal myself and you decide to cut me off as soon as I'm about to yell out my name…
Sorry…
I don't think I want to tell you…you're rude…
Sorry…please…
Don't beg for it. You're a CEO…
Yeah, yeah…no thanks to you…
No thanks to me…ha…without me, you wouldn't be sitting in this comfortable office, Seto.
What?
That's right Seto. I am…your stepfather.
WHAT! That's impossible. You're dead!
I am dead. I just happen to live safely housed in your feeble mind.
This is insane! Gozoboro in my mind. Talking to me all this time.
Yes well…you've been under a lot of stress and well…you just decided to have a psychotic break down in the form of having crazy conversation with your deceased stepfather.
Crazy world, huh?
Yep. It sure is.
Well, in that case, if you can't get the crazy dead old guy out of your mind by asking…
What do you mean by that?
I stood up from my chair and followed the usual path toward the door. I walked out of my office without any real noise from my shoes. I got to the elevator in record time. I pressed the little button and waited.
Seto, what are you doing? Seto! Seto!
The elevator opened up for me with a ding and I stepped in. I hit the clear button labeled "Top Floor/Roof".
Seto? Seto! Why are we going up there? Seto!
I waited as the elevator slowly ascended to my destination. Another ding and I was up on the roof of the Kaiba Corp. building.
Seto! What are you…? No…Seto…you can't…you can't!
I moved across the ground with diligence and speed. Then I stopped. I was there.
Freedom…
Are you fucking crazy?
Well, seeing how the person asking me that isn't my conscience and a dead guy, yes, yes I am crazy!
Seto! You made a promise to yourself. To stop these suicide attempts…
Screw you old man! I hated you back then and I hate you even more now.
Seto!
I stepped onto the ledge and glanced down. It would be a few moments of falling, but after that, nothing…
Seto…
What would Yugi and his geek squad say about me now? Yugi would be laughing at me. He always did. Yugi knew he could beat me at duel monsters with both eyes closed and a hand tied behind his back. Wheeler, he would be calling me the third rate duelist. And the others, they would mock me too. Damn them! Damn this world. Damn this…
Seto, don't be a fool…
We will see who the fool is after I take the dive!
Seto…this isn't going to solve anything…
What? I'll be dead you moron!
Yeah, but I'll follow you to hell…
Hell?
Yes hell…what? Did you think that you would be heading to heaven?
Maybe…
Ha…you're a fool…stupid worm…no wonder you could never beat Yugi Moto.
Leave that in the past.
You suck…you can't even beat a little kid…you failure…
Stop! STOP! STOP!
You will always be friendless…but you will endure this life…you must realize that you think too logically. Logic will fall and you will realize this…I will haunt you…I will never leave you alone! NEVER, Seto!
I'll jump…I'll do it…
Ha! You're weak; you were always weak. Stupid…
"I'll JUMP!" I screamed.
"Seto?"
I turned around to see those eyes. Those eyes full of tears…
