On a thought, this might remind you of Bang Bang you're dead, but it's not supposed to be. Srry!
Chapter 10
Confrontations
The male read and flipped the page, where he saw a page full of words already. Intrigued, he read on, his eyes glowing.
"Why me?" Anzu's voice drifts across the dark realm. I keep walking, head down, my white hair getting in my eyes.
"Why me?" Yami's much deeper voice rumbles softly. Their voices are so loud, yet hardly audible. I close my eyes and keep walking. I've got to get to the end. Their voices intertwine, washing over me, forcing me to listen, but I turn away and continue walking on.
I lift my head and when the lightning flashes against the black sky, I see those crimson eyes, looking down at everyone with the holier-than-thou look he's so good at. I shudder, repulsed and continue on my way, carefully making my way through the path. Little creatures scurry past and I make sure not to step on them.
When the thunder claps, I see blue eyes twinkling with mirth and twisted belief playing in those eyes. The smile that tempted so many and the scarred soul that lies within is revealed. Do you know where I walk? I walk in the dark realm where I can see everything stripped away to see the soul that lies beneath. I despair for humanity, for their hearts all contain anger and hate. But so do I. I know they will be saved, God willing, but beyond that, who knows, or cares?
Beyond the road I'm standing on is a fork where there are two choices. The path that holds light and lies, and betrayal, or the shadows, where you are tested for truth beyond limits and also there is utter safety and truth. I take the shadows and I am instantly attacked by three voices, angry and haunting, all of them repeating the same words. "Why me?"
I look up and stare into their misty eyes and I answer, calmly and coldly. "Why not you?" I retaliate.
"Why me Ryou? I was your father?" I smirk and laugh bitterly.
"It was spur of the moment."
"Why me Ryou? I was your leader." Guess who that was. Yes, conscientious pharaoh.
"I was never a follower," I answer softly.
"Why me Ryou? I was your friend." Anzu whined pathetically. I raised my eyebrows.
"You were never my friend." I stopped and stood still as I saw spirits fly down. I saw my mother, my sister, Arianna, the innocents destroyed by Anzu's selfish endeavors, the people that were destroyed when Kuru Eruna was destroyed. I saw everything. And amongst all these people was a new face, the face of a man that wanted to know more.He was almost transparent, and I knew, he wasn't dead. I felt myself smile and I laughed. The laughter died as the three started whispering again.
"Why Ryou?" My lips curl into a snarl. "You took our lives, our destinies."
I snap and turn. "Alright, you want to know why?" I turned to my 'father'. "You, you let mom and Amane die, and you didn't even fuckin' care! You drowned yourself in drinks, you neglected me! You spent all your fucking time with your prostitutes! You even tried to fuckin' kill me!"
"And YOU!" I whirled around to glare into Anzu's blue eyes. "You slaughtered so much self esteem.People loved you! And you shunned them. You broke them. And Arianna?You killed Arianna when her only crime was to be a skillful dancer! Her crime was to be better than you!" Anzu struggled to come up with a comeback but I had already moved on.
"You," I was facing Yami. "You. Your crime was not in a sense, a crime. But how many people have you condemned Pharaoh? How many have you treated like my mother, my sister, how many people have you condemned to die just because they treated you like everyone else. How many people have suffered?" His eyes were blazing as he challenged all of them. "So who are you to say I stole your life away? Who are you to say that I am evil and unjust? I proved justice any way I could, and it finally caught up with you. You stole my life, my family, before I had a chance to really live." He continued down the road, the whole caravan of spirits following. And in the rear, was a young man who didn't belong there.
WHAM! Ryou woke up, pale and sweating. He rubbed his head slightly. He had been in the dream, narrated the dream, yet it had unnerved him. Right before he'd woken up, two glowing eyes had appeared in front of him. They weren't red, or cat colored, but black, blacker than the purest onyx. And they weren't cruel, or harsh, as he deserved, but they were gentle, and they held a certain aspect that he wanted to know, so very much.
And that man, who was he been? So pale, so gaunt, it could have been...but no, the eyes were different, the expression. He sighed, only time would tell. He collapsed against the bed once more and curled into the blankets that reminded him so much of the feeling love.
Bakura cracked an eye open when he estimated that Ryou should be asleep again. He sighed and turned over, staring at the ceiling. 'What plagues you little hikari of mine?' he wondered silently. 'Why do you toss and turn when I just want you to sleep.' He breathed deeply before turning over and going back to sleep.
He stared up at the ceiling and his eyes werefilled with wonder.Hhe didn't know what had just happened. He had been reading and WHAM! He paled, wiping hisface,his cold sweat gradually subsiding. "So much to learn." He said to no one out loud but his sleeping charge. "So much to tell...and no one to listen."
THANKS FOR READING GUYS! YOU GUYS TOTALLY ROCK! THANKS FOR REVIEWING! PLEASE REVIEW AGAIN!
Ok, Ryou was sleeping, and when he's subconscious, he can enter a really random world where everything is proven truth or lie, and he takes comfort in that. SOooooooooooooo...yeah. Guess who the eyes were...
Now, review replies
ttSerenity: Thanks! my first review of this chapter! (pats her on the back)
Silently Broken: Thx! And that's true, I can't believe I didn't think of that! OMG i am so dumb! Anyway, my explanation for that is, remember, none of them really like Ryou? THey basically think that Ryou is just a weakling that's breaking down from the two deaths. Bad explanation, but yeah
SamiRyou'sHikari: Thx! about Seto/Jou, I like shounen ai and all, but I kinda prefer Serenity/Seto although we all know that that's never gonna happen.
Dark Magician Girl Hikaru: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! grins morbidly
Shinigami: eh hehehe... yeah, about Yami, I've always resented the fact that he held so much power and it didn't really belong to him, but I don't HATE him, era's his sister...Yugi and Joey, you'll find out later, The Kaibas and Serenity, that was a mistake apparently. Joey brought along his sister like the endearing brother he is, Seto didn't want to be outdone, so he came along, and the Ishtars...Ryou wanted them to be there when he died. Same with Bakura. As to why Bakura is the 'cop' Ryou knows that Bakura will figure it out, and he wants Bakura to show that he is better than everyone else at the mansion or something like that. As to why it's like the ten little indians (I LOVE THAT book!) I have no idea, to much influence I guess...
Computerfreak101:Thx! it is about time, isn't it?
