Snake Charmer

Obsession

How come I must know

Where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

Where the passion hides its feelings?

Yugi had to get away from Yami. His emotions were spiraling out of control and sending him into a tailspin of even more depression. He had to get away, as far away as possible. Yami seemed to be insisting on living in the past. Battle City was over.

"How come I must know

Where obsession needs to go?

How come I must know

The direction of relieving?"

Yugi stopped and looked around. There was the girl Yami had fought with. She was standing on the corner with a very large snake slithering up her uninjured arm. She was singing.

Yugi walked up to her and she turned to meet him. And she was twice his height.

"Um...hi...I'm Yugi Muto...I'm sorry about earlier today..." He said, blushing slightly and looking at his feet.

"No need." She said coldly and began to walk away.

//It wouldn't have mattered if he killed her...is that it?// Yugi thought.

The girl hovered in Yugi's head for the rest of the day. It was either her cold demeanor, or her "I-don't-care-if-I-die" attitude. She wouldn't leave his thoughts, but Yugi knew for sure that he wasn't in love with her.

He didn't talk to Yami that night. In fact, no one talked. And the girl with the snake plagued his mind from the moment his head hit the pillow and into his dreams.

Yami, on the other hand, was worse off. He woke in the middle of the night with the feeling of something crushing his chest. His eyes widened as he realized that there was a snake curled around his chest, as if threatening to shatter his bones and kill him.

//You fool...do you know who I am?// Yami thought.

The snake tightened its coils once, as if to give a warning. A dry, choking sound escaped Yami's lips before the serpent vanished into darkness.

//A spirit messenger? Who is that girl?//

Yugi was dreaming. He stood in a field that was burned and charred black. There was a white cobra staring at him. Its hood was as wide as his hair, and its amber colored eyes were level with Yugi's purple orbs. It had a blue line streaming down its back and Yugi felt no fear.

//Is this a dream?//

The snake gave no answer, and Yugi followed it as it slithered away. He followed it into a shrine, where nothing called to him but the sound of pain and anguish. But he entered anyways.

Yugi woke up screaming.
