Conflict of Interests
Drabble 40: Staircase
By: Kigen
Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare. HaoLyserg this time around. Some angst.
Disclaimer: I got a free Shaman King calendar (for 2006) Wednesday for helping at the anime store all day. If Shaman King, I'd already have the poster, and Lyserg would have been cuddling (at least) with random Shaman boys.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And yet, it almost seemed that no matter how many steps he took, there was always an endless amount more to go. It was like walking up an endless staircase, one where you could never, never reach top.
But, why would he ever reach the top?
He was too weak, too fragile, too...
Too tiny...
He would never get strong enough to reach Hao.
He would never be strong enough to defeat Hao.
The fire shaman stood at the top of the endless stairway, looking down at Lyserg with amusement clear in his big brown eyes. His lips twisting into false smiles and whispering words.
Words of torment.
Dark words.
Words that ripped at his soul.
Words that made him feel things he shouldn't feel about his enemy.
Lyserg was forever going up the endless stairway.
And Hao was forever looking down at him.

Next chapter, some sweet humorish fluff. YohLyserg flavored. Your hints are colds and cuddles.
Thanks for reading, please review.
Ja min'na-san!.
