Anyway hope you like this and it's not too crappy. (ooh, I'm going to try have better spelling and grammar.) anyway on with the chapter……..
To Lose Is Haunting
"W…what?"
For once in his life Seto Kaiba was struck dumb. There was no scoff or smirk adorning his face, just pure disbelief.
He looked at his little brother, staring into his eyes. There was no lie there, even so Mokuba would never joke about something like that. Maybe Seto would, but Mokuba actually liked the geek squad.
"What do you mean he's…he's"
"He was in a car accident, Seto" whispered Mokuba, his eyes glistening. "A…a car came speeding around the corner and Yugi he…he never saw it until…" He couldn't finish, Mokuba had always considered Yugi a close friend, but now… he was gone.
Kaiba's eyes were wide. Not wide with innocence or happiness, but with shock and denial. Yugi Mouto, his greatest rival, gone!
"But Mouto… all the things he's got through. Maniacs trying to kill him every week, and he's in a car accident. I mean….he couldn't be…" Kaiba swallowed the lump in his throat "dead."
After settling his little, distraught brother, Kaiba headed for his home office. He entered the wide room and walked briskly to his desk. With a sigh he dropped down into the leather chair at his desk and placed his head in his hands.
The past few hours had been surreal. Kaiba was truly lost for once. He didn't know how he should feel. "Sad?" But he and Yugi had just been rivals. Weren't they? He was so sure a few hours ago, but now… well, he didn't know!
He didn't feel happy or sad. Just numb!
A few hours passed. He didn't know when, but while Kaiba was sitting at the desk, he began to nod off. He hadn't slept in a while and he was so stressed lately. His head gently found his desk and he drifted into unconsciousness.
He was on a platform. It was blinding white, wherever he was. The platform was a square, roughly the size of a small room. White mist whirled around the platform and was suspended above them. The air was tight, as if it was without oxygen. And had a suffocating effect, yet Kaiba was fine.
Kaiba turned around to examine the area, but what he saw nearly stopped his heart.
There in the centre, was Yugi. He was sitting on the white surface like a child. His eyes stared at the ground. They were downcast and looked clouded. But that didn't stop the tears that gathered in them, threatening to fall.
Even Kaiba could see the sadness etched onto his face. It was a look Kaiba had never witnessed on the king of games usually happy features. Yugi was very different here, well wherever here was. He wasn't dressed in his usual attire either. He was wearing a simple white gown that draped on the floor around him. It was silky almost fluid looking material. If it were red, he would have mistaken it for blood.
"Yugi?" Kaiba said.
But no sound echoed out. It was as if it were a soundproof room. This occurred to Kaiba but he abandoned that conclusion when a terrible voice rang out. Yugi's head shot up. Fear almost flowed from his dim amethyst eyes. He backed away.
"TIME YUGI, TIME IS A FICLE THING." Called the voice. Through the scratchy and blood curdling voice, Kaiba could sense amusement, as if it was enjoying itself. "YES YUGI, AND YOURS HAS JUST RAN OUT!"
A crack through the platform startled Kaiba. But some force pulled him away from the destruction. He was slowly being swallowed by darkness. It pulled him in, but not before a terrified and desperate scream rang out. He recognised it as Yugi's, but then another voice whispered to him.
"Help him Kaiba" it said quietly and repeated in his head.
"Please help him….as he helped me!"
A brilliant flash of gold blinded Kaiba and he suddenly shot up from his desk.
Kaiba looked around his office.
"What the hell…" he asked himself. He was drenched in cold sweat and was panting heavily.
"Help him…." The voice still echoed in his head. He knew that voice, yet he couldn't match it with a voice.
The CEO shook his head and went to take a shower.
A/N:
I know not much happened, but in the next chappie, Kaiba
might catch a glimpse of Yugi. Is he hallucinating? I think not!
Especially when he runs into Yugi at his duel dome….but Yugi isn't
quite solid. Will Kaiba believe in ghosts?????
I hope so or else this story will suck! Anyway, more action in next chappie. R&R! THANKS….
