19. Silence

The worst part was the silence. He kept waiting, hoping, to hear a voice, a noise, a cry, anything at all from his dearest partner, but there was nothing. It was the even worse than the worst punishment he could have imagined for his crime.

For thousands upon thousands of years he had resided within the Millennium Puzzle in silence, in darkness. Yuugi had blissfully chased his nightmares of its dreadfully quiet corners away, filling him with light and sound. He had forgotten what the silence was like; the all consuming, forbidding noiselessness that threatened to steal away the last of his sanity.

Aibou, aibou, aibou...

He called it like a chant in his mind. It did not even echo in the silence.

There was no other mind for it to bounce off of, nor another's thoughts to catch and cushion it gently.

I will save you aibou, I promise.

He had to save Yuugi. If he failed to he was certain he would go mad.


Thanks for reading!
