Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Days Go By ❯ Streamline ( Chapter 2 )

Xpyne: Heeey!! Did anyone think I was going to do another chapter on this?

Yugi-tachi: -_-;;;; ..........No, not really.

Solitaire: Well, she did. Finally. With a song I picked out, none the less. ::pouts childishly:: The song is "Streamline" by System of a Down. Eh, forgive us if any of the lyrics are a little off; it seems record companies don't bother to include lyrics on the CD inserts anymore, or in this case, an insert at all...

Xpyne: This is mostly from Yami Yugi's point of view. Eh, imagine it as Yami or Yugi if you like, or both combined into one! I was seeing Yugi in the first chapter, and now I'm seeing Yami.... I'm so confused!

Seto: If you think you're confused, how do you think they feel?? ::refers to readers::

Xpyne: O.o;

Seto: ::complaining:: Is this ever going to get any better for me?!

Xpyne: Maaaaybe...

Solitaire: Xpy-chan doesn't own Yugioh or the song "Streamline." We share a 10x10 room--do you really think we're making any money off of this?? Anyway, here's the fic. Enjoy!

Days Go By

Chapter Two: Streamline

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What you did to me, Seto....broke my heart. But perhaps I am the cruel one...

I wasn't there for you

You are hard to understand. Beyond most mortals' comprehension anyway. But you were always there for me. Not in body, no. You were usually at the office, all day. What I mean is, if I needed you, you came through for me. If I was unsure, if I was afraid, if I was depressed...you were there for me.

I wasn't there for you

I can't help hating you for what you did...and I can't stop loving you for who you are. I look out the dark window, into the sheets of slush and hail; the weather seems to mirror my mood. I can't see why, above all, you would go through what you did to me, if you loved me the way I love you. How could you??

I know weather's gonna be fine

But I can't see you `cross the streamline

My love waits for me in daytime

But I can't see you through the snow, blind

I was the one who ended our relationship. I had to. For my dignity, my friends, my self-respect, even. To have lain down at your feet would have broken me! I could not... Am I broken now? I walked away, from everything we had, everything I loved, my life, gods, I walked away from half my soul. You didn't follow. You could have stopped me with a word.

But I wasn't there for you

You are gone

But I wasn't there for you

Nights are long

I can't forgive myself. Can I crawl back to you? I have nothing inside. I'm not broken, on the contrary I am strong, cold, dignified.... and empty inside. Kind of how you were before we met.

Goodbye

And I wasn't there for you

Goodbye

What is my pride? I love nothing but you! You were everything!! Why didn't I see? Why were we so blind? Would you even want me now, after so long?

I wasn't there for you, blind

I wasn't there for you, blind

Well I know time we view's in hindsight

I can wrestle with the stormy night

Because your love lasts a lifetime

I still love you.

But I can't see you through the snow, blind

I look out the dark window, into the sheets of slush and hail. You used me. For your revenge. My answer is as clear as the streamline of memories running through my mind.

You...never loved me. You can't have. I need to move on. Maybe talk to Jounouchi more. He is really at the center of our mess. You couldn't take it when he beat you, so you wanted revenge. He wanted me more than anything, so you took me. I was a fool. It was all about your damn ego. Couldn't take the "puppy" beating you in a game of duel monsters. It was dumb luck, really. Jounouchi has always had excellent luck. Except with matters revolving around me, strangely. Mokuba had borrowed your Blue Eyes...they weren't in your deck...but it didn't matter to you. He had beaten you, and you wanted revenge. You knew Joey was in love with me, so you tricked me. I was stupid enough to believe you actually loved me, that Joey had nothing to do with it. I am an idiot. There was no deep love for you; perhaps you loved me as a friend... I am obviously not so offensive to you that you wouldn't take my virginity when I offered it to you like the blind fool that I am. Only....only one thing does not make sense. You were only using me...so why were you always there for me?

But I wasn't there for you

You are gone

But I wasn't there for you

Goodbyes are long

I waited for you to stop me, to tell me it wasn't true; I'd have believed any lie you fed me. Anything for you. But you were silent.

You are gone

But I wasn't there for you

Goodbyes are long

But I wasn't there for you

Did you see the tears in my eyes the last time we spoke?

I wasn't there for you

I wasn't there

I wasn't there for you

But I wasn't there for you

You are gone

I want you. I love you. But it's not meant to be. The weather is worsening, so I pull my blanket around my shoulders tighter, to drive out the chill as I sit in my room.

And I wasn't there for you

Goodbyes are long

Goodbye

Somehow, I'm still cold.

Goodbye

Xpyne: ::sniff sniff:: Is it just me, or is Yami a real baka in our stories lately?

Solitaire: ::is sulking:: I don't see what you even need me for anymore...

Xpyne: Is it just me, or is Solitaire a real baka lately? ::thwaps Solitaire:: Don't be such a baby; everybody loves you. Well, everybody except Yazarel. She loves me. ::winks at her not-so-secret pretend admirer::

Solitaire: ...Oww. u_u

Xpyne: ::to readers:: She's just being sulky 'cause she doesn't like it when I write stories by myself. But this doesn't count! This story is crappy; nothing like ROTD or Pocky, ne? ::hugs Solitaire::

Solitaire: -.-

Xpyne: I'm thinking each chapter's gonna be a different song, until I find out a way to end this. So if you've got any suggestions for good songs, feel free to tell me. Oh, and what did you all think of the evil reason that Seto and Yami broke up? (Ideas are hard. #_# ) Anyway, everyone please review, ask for my pictures, and don't kill us for not working on ROTD! All the pretty reviews I got were the only reason I wrote a second chapter; they were inspiring. *^__^*
