A/N: You know I been thinking. Maybe I should start writing original stories again. You see I have this idea for a book series I want to do because when I grow up I want to be a author (and video editor) but, that's doesn't I won't stop writing fan fiction it's my pride and joy ^^

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh 5ds.

Chapter 6

Alter Ego

"Aki! We're home," my father exclaimed.

I didn't hear him. He sounded as if he was underwater. Wait a minute! Underwater? It was true I was floating in water but, why? Wasn't I in my house a moment ago. The strange thing though was that I could breathe. I shivered this water is cold. I couldn't really understand it why was I floating in freezing, cold water and have the ability to breathe in it. I looked around and I noticed that it was a grayish-reddish color. I looked up but, didn't see a surface insight.

"Aki!" my mother called.

Just as I barely heard her voice these random bubbles appeared before me. Each of them showed my parents entering the living room.

I guess this is what I'm seeing.

I grabbed a random bubble and looked into as if it were a crystal ball and I was the fortuneteller. Oddly enough the image was perfectly clear.

"Aki, is everything all right," my mom asked.

It hit me like a car crash. Black Rose has taken over and I'm here drowning in my own mind.

"Get away from me!"

"Aki?"

"No! Mom get out of here!"

"Aki, are you ok?" my father asked.

My head raised and both of my parents came into full view. I lost total control of my body. It walked up to my parents. The dread in my stomach increased. What was I supposed to do? I'm floating helplessly in an ocean!

"Aki, what are you doing!" my parents yelled.

I couldn't see what they were talking about until it was too late. My hand raised and it came on my mother. I saw myself brutally stabbing her in the chest. I was instantly remembered of the night before.

"Aki!"

My dad to pull me off my mother, only for me to lunge at him next. I stabbed him in the neck. My mom was still alive but, she's bleeding heavily and her breathing started to slow it's pace.

"Ak…i" she replied weakly.

Useless. I'm really, utterly useless. How can I just sit here? Is there a way to get out of this ocean?

"Do you like that father? It hurts just like that slap you gave me so long ago," I said but, it's not me talking.

"Remember when you sent me away or how about that time you told me I was a monster and to think I'd still loved you, you and mom. I escaped Duel Academy to see you again but, what I saw through the window weren't the faces of parents missing their daughter. I saw happiness. You were in pure bliss that I was gone, out of lives."

The bubble's image was blurry and water drops were falling on Dad's bloody head. She's crying.

"But, don't you worry, I'll make sure you never see me again, at until my time comes," she gave finishing blow.

Black Rose stood up from Dad's dead body and turned to Mom. She was still but, barely.

"Here let me help you out there," Rose stabbed right in the center of her neck.

Blood poured from her mouth. She gave me one final look, it was that look that made me completely broke. In one slash the murderess ended her victim. This is too much, this is all too much. Now I'm having a break down and have no comfort whatsoever.

"Mom, Dad, I'm so sorry I promise you I don't feel that way about you anymore. After I decided to give you another chance you've been nothing but, good to me. Now I hope you can find it your hearts to forgive me. I didn't ask for any of this. It's not me that killed. Please don't fear me or hate me because I couldn't bear it." I sobbed.

"Is that what you truly feel?"

"Huh?

Black Rose appeared before me.

"Did you forget how they treated you before?"

"Go away! Leave me alone!"

"I'm helping Aki, the least you can do is be grateful."

"No you're not you just killed my parents, my only family!"

"You don't need anyone but yourself."

I launched myself at her, my hands around her neck. It was really hard to tell if I was crying since I'm in water but, my guess is that I still am. I felt so angry, no it's not anger I feel it's hatred, pure hatred. God, I just want to kill her right there on the spot. I tighten my grip on her neck but, it had no affect.

"You know you do have the potential of a murder, Aki."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Just shut the fuck up!" I chanted.

"You know it's true. Stop denying who you truly are."

"That's not who I am," I argued.

"Then why are you trying to choke me?" she asked innocently.

"Because you deserve it!"

"Isn't that exactly what a murder would say?"

I froze in shock. My grip lessened from her. Damn it, I'm so weak. I could kill her so why not?

"You're too soft," she said to me.

I stayed silent.

Black Rose took my hand "Aki, give in to me if you I won't have to feel anything. I'll fight all your battles for you both inner and outer. You won't feel the pain you're in right now. Aki, we need to be complete, you're just one half and I'm the other. We could be whole," she explained.

I let her words sink in and said "But I don't want you to kill people anymore."

"You have to surpass me. Let me let you in on a little secret Aki, I'm made up of all your negative emotions. I'm growing stronger because you still feel those emotions to your parents, schoolmates and Yusei."

"Yusei?"

"You fear him."

"I love him," I admitted, blushing.

"Yet you're afraid of him."

"Why you say that?"

"You never had anyone treat with such kindness and it scares you to death."

"…"

"I figured as much, now do you accept my offer?"

I thought long and hard. I knew that there was some truth to her words but, I'm in denial. My hands slowly turned into fists and I sobbed. I couldn't think anymore, think for myself. My whole body shivered. I needed someone to tell me what to do and the next best person was floating, arm ready to shake my hand. I hesitantly grasped it. My fate is sealed.
