In the city of domino it’s a quiet day in Domino as everyone goes about their daily lives including and excluding three boys in particular for their daily lives where nothing like those around them because they had a secret shared by none save themselves. T
They are Yugi Mouto Ryou Bakura and Malik Ishtar and the secret they shared was they had another of themselves a dark version of each other who that they both loved yet hated at the same time.
They were Yami Bakura and Marik their guardians and tormentors they who harbored literally in the shadows of the three boys minds they who would lash out without a moments hesitation at any save these three boys thus earning their love but their hate along with it.
Yugi “huh how are we fated to be stuck with Yami’s like ours”
Ryou “I don’t know Yugi but at least they care about us which is more then what can be said for those unfortunate enough to earn their anger”.
Malik “I’ll say the last time someone was foolish enough to anger Marik lets just say they are regretting that mistake in hell right now”.
While they continue to talk with the eyes of their shadows literally watching over them with love anger and lust each more darker then before the boys knew they could never escape this fate because one they didn’t want to and two they didn’t know how at the same time.
For how could they possibly escape themselves as they sit in the living room of The Kame Game Shop a song comes on the radio that all but screams how they feel about themselves and their OTHER selves.
“I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved
And I
[Chorus:]
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me
Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become
[Chorus]
Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
I have woken now to find myself
I'm lost in shadows of my own
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me.”
After the song comes to an end their emotions reaching their darker halves they had unknowingly found a means of their escape from the part of themselves that hates their darker halves.
For from this day forward as time goes on the selves they have come to love/hate will become entirely selves they will only come to love if those dark selves have any say in the matter.
