Disclaimer: "She no owns."
I'm drowning in your shadow… Almighty. You're always present. They hate you. Despise your deranged smile. And I, watching you with shared eyes, feel equally strong for you. Only that it's not a negative feeling.
I want to touch your tanned cheeks. Those lilac orbs to see me. Me and not my yami, the great thief king.
Equals stick together they say. Darkness to darkness. Light to light. But as a man cleverer than I, namely Francis Bacon, once stated: The light cannot shine brightly without its darkness. And I need you, shadow, to complete me.
I have always liked dangerous things. The occult draws me in. And so does your evil cackling. The mystery surrounding you.
And now, as you stand there before my, my yami, fighting him and your hikari, I can't help but wish for their demise. I would even lose my body for you.
You resurrect Ra, the great sun, and then it's over. Marik, the spirit, my body. They are gone. In the shadow realm I guess. But I. Why am I still here?
You come closer, your hand reaching out for me. The millennium ring! I am inside the ancient item it seems. The spirits plan of keeping me under control by locking me in there backfired it seems. He gave me the perfect opportunity to be with you.
Finally the string is around your neck and I can touch your soul. The darkness, I press my very essence against it. Let us mingle.
A surprised shudder runs down your spine. I can feel it. Everything you feel.
'Who are you?'
The question resonates through the halls of our now touching soul rooms and imitating my yami's usual greeting I say:
'I am the light.'
You snort, amusement obvious in your tone.
'Oh really? Why are you here then? I am the manifestation of hate and agony. No light, no matter how bright, can survive my shadow.'
A giggle escapes my bodyless form.
'Don't you worry. I survived Yami Bakura. You can't be much worse.'
Anger bubbles inside of you at the mention of my yami. You seem to not like him.
You try to hide the reason, but having lived with the spirit of the sennen ring for so many years I know how to avoid your defenses and see your truth.
Jealousy is strong in your heart; the fact that your hikari prefers the spirit to you, even though you only act upon his wishes, causes fury to consume your being.
I don't know if I should tell you that I can read you. You might be angry and throw the millennium ring, to which I am bound, away. But on the other side, if you coincidentally find out it would be much worse.
I decide you have the right to know. I would have wanted you to tell if I were you.
'I can feel what you feel and hear what you think. Yami Bakura is a master at hiding things such as his past, but I still managed to uncover his secrets. To me you are an open book.' I whisper.
First shock and then the unavoidable anger.
'How dare you read me like that?' you scream, causing me to flinch.
Well, I would have flinched if I had a body…
'I am not prying. It's more like you throw your secrets at me. I am sure that you had to hide for a long time until you could obtain control over this body. It's really hard to concentrate on thoughts and limbs at the same time… You should learn to hide your soul…'
You throw curses at me, but silently, I feel, you agree. So I show you my yami's tricks. And you are really good. Not as good as the spirit, which is no surprise, for he's had about 5000 years of training. I won't tell you though.
After all, you are my darkness.
