dark_duels_100: Home no Longer
So uhm, I actually wrote this yesterday and wanted to get it up but... I kind of fell asleep before that... ^^;
Anyway this ties in with Prompt 2: Blood... which wasn't something I actually intended at first, but I'm not unhappy with how it turned out.
Enjoy.
Category: Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's
Characters: Misty, Kiryu
Genre: General/Angst
Rating: T
Prompt: #3 Lost Haven
Warnings: Still present tense. And still Kiryu/Misty and Dark Signer creepiness... sorts of anyway.
Summary: Drabble - With death they had lost more than just the sense of life. Coming back had cost them any chance to ever return to whatever they considered home.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s.
--- Home no Longer ---
Wandering around in the large mansion, their supposed safe haven that was hidden deep within the crate that the Zero Reverse incident had created, seems strange, almost uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because now that she is able to be herself, to show her true self, the one she had hidden behind the mask of a living woman for a little more than a year now, she can actually hear them clearly: the faint moans of the dead, whispering through the building they are bound to.
The whispers of all those that have been trapped by the Darkness.
It doesn't scare her all too much, she has come to accept the fact that she was no longer part of the living world a long time ago. However she knows, their new member, the one she had just been with, had far more trouble to adjust. Not that Misty could quite blame her. Love and pain walked hand in hand in her experience.
She keeps walking through the building, her hand reaching for the locket she had gotten so long ago - a birthday present meant to bring her joy; now it has become the only memento she has left of her most beloved person. She closes her eyes, letting the agony of her loss wash over her, the thirst for revenge following only seconds later. Still, she can't and doesn't want to deny - she can feel that she would never be able to call this place her home, not even now that her heart has been fused with the dark. Her home would always be with her brother.
Then she reaches the next room and stops abruptly when she sees one of the others - Kiryu - sitting on the floor before one of the D-Wheels, the one that was intended for Carly. He had been working on it, it seemed, though only when she takes an almost hesitant step closer, she sees why he has stopped.
Only then she sees cut across his palm, not in any way dangerous to him but most likely annoying to deal with, sees the dead blood closing over it. She is not surprised that he picks up on her presence immediately, glaring as he hides his hand from sight, and a moment later she speaks up asking the question that sometimes she asks herself as well, that at the moment feels so much more urgent than usually.
"Do you regret it? Do you regret giving up life?"
Do you regret giving up your only chance to go home again?
She stares right back as he eyes her, a surge of almost unidentifiable emotions flashing over his face before he huffs, turning back to his work.
"I don't."
She does not comment his words further, but nods instead and withdraws, frowning slightly perhaps. Because in that short moment before his control had snapped in and kept him from making a reply that was unfaithful to the gods, she had seen it: he is just like her.
He too (even if he doesn't quite realised that), longs to return to the home that he had lost so long ago.
And for some reason, that makes Misty feel a little less lonely.
