Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Hope of a better tomorrow ❯ no title ( Chapter 1 )

Kitty-wings: I have a question. Why does Shessomaru carry around a sheep?

Hara-Kiri: It isn't a sheep, Baka.

Kitty-wings: well, then what is it?

Hara-kiri:....

Kitty-wings: Then he wears a sheep.

Kyko: He doesn't wear a sheep!

Nuriko: I shall kill thee with my schythe!

Kitty-wings: If it isn't a sheep, what the hell is it, a shag rug?

Sam: He does not wear a rug!

Kitty-wings: Your right, he's just like Kurama, a girly-man.

Hara-kiri: And what does that make Kuwabara? Cat food?

Kuwabara: How come no one loves me?

Kitty-wings: I do, I do!!!! Me !!! Pick me!!!

Kuwabara: *Strike's a poses, and whoops* Ha Ha!! Some one does love me!

Sam: *Hands Kyko $50.00* I thought you meant excluding Kat when we made the bet.

Kyko: Plus Hara-Kiri, and some rabid insane fan-girl who Kat has beaten into a bloody mass of hyseria because she and she alone can have him.

Nuriko: I wasn't aware anyone else wanted him.

Kitty-wings: That's enough, onto the story.

Brink: Theres a story attached to this?

Kitty-wings: Disclaimer, please.

Kyko: She doesn't own whatever the frig this story is about, so shut your trap, and visit hell on your next vacation!

Kitty-wings: I guess I forgot to mention Kyko runs hell, and she like to torture torists.

*Kyko laughs mamiacally in background, is swallowed up by fire, and Nuriko waves goodbye and disappears helplessly*

Brink: Where Kyko's evil side, Nuriko, is supposed to be, she has an innocent side.

Sam: Is this story even worth this long intro?

JOU POV

Blasting my music, it isn't that it is good music, nothing of the sort. I just have to get these voices out of my head. They won't leave, and I can't tell anyone or they'll think me crazy. Yugi is sweet, and adorable, and believable, but me, no not me. I'd be on a one way ticket to the happy hospital.

Louder, I have to blast my music louder! It is unfair, unjust, even, that I have to go through this horrid pain all alone. No 'friends' to comfort me, just a deep voice. I can't se my friends any longer, since they want me to take their Millenium items for myself, or rather for whatever being is inside me. Yugi stopped by, and I got to talk to him for about an hour. That was the happiest I have been in a long while.

He let me talk to him, he let me have a short bit of happiness. That might of been because I had a razor to my wtrists when Yugi rang the door bell. I can't take this pain all alone, and I can't share the burden either. This is so hard for me, Bakura didn't have to go it alone, nor did Malik, and Marik.

I'm blasting the most horrid of Musics, or atleast in my taste, Techno-opera. This being doesn't seem to like it either. It is a very controlling being, and it is slowly tearing me apart inside. Not physically, but mentally, and emotionally. He got loose the other day, and met up with Yami, and told him immediatly who he was.

Yami has stayed quiet about it, and has stayed a distance from me, the distance I deserve. I don't deserve anyone with the thoughts I have been thinking, with the pain and anguish that I have been through. I can't trust this being at all, and I can't take off the Millenium necklace either. Some weird lady gave it to me, she said that because of whjat she taught Kaiba, it was my turn too. Kaiba has the Anhk Shadi gave him. Honda has the millenium eye on a necklace because he is too powerful for the item to withstand him. Mokuba has the scales Shadi bestowed on him.

I Jounounchi Katsuya, am the soul possesor of the Millenium necklace. I cannot control this being that has been given to me in the form of a necklace, I cannot help what he does to others, and I cannot control what he does to me. He is a cruel being with little mercy, and a barrier around his heart. I cannot go on like this any longer, either I'm going to have to be saved, or I'm going to end my misery.

I Cannot remove it, and everynight I dream about days past, 5,000 years in the past. I know who I was, and I know exactly how I died, who I died within my arms, all of it. I found that lady again, and she would not take off the necklace, she would not end my pain, she would not help me. It isn't that she couldn't, I am sure she could, it is just that she wouldn't.

I'm scared to die, and I don't want to leave all of this behind. I cna't leave those who need me most, but it cannot be helped, it is after all, my fate, and my problem to deal with. I'm going to have to talk to Kaiba about this. He can see exactly who is in me, and what exactly he wants from me.

~!~!~!~!~!~

Kaiba residence.

Jou POV

I'm trembling now, I can hardly walk, I can hardly breathe, he is trying to take control. I can't let him, I can't let him hurt anyone ever again. Not after he hurt me the last time I let him out. I rang the door bell, and fell to my knees.

Mokuba answered the door, and he instantly switched to his Yami, Tamarind. Tamarind was a good two feet taller than Mokuba, and by far stronger, for he picked me up, and lay me on the first couch he saw fit.

"Some one is in me, someone is hurting me, I can't let them out. I cna't get rid of them, and or the necklace. They're from the necklace. Please get your brother." I panted, sweating and cringing in pain, if I wasn't going to let him out, he was gonna make his way out, whether I approved, or died.

Tamarind nodded, kissed my forehead, giving me temporary release from the pain, and ran for Kaiba. Kaiba came running, seth, His Yami, running next to him. Seth had taken a shine to me when we met for the first time, and had pronounced his love for me instantly. Kaiba's emotions towards me reflected off of Seth's, and we became closer.

Seth knelt beside me,and used his Ankh to open my mind.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Normal POV

Seth searched the depths, and proded each point of the four rooms. yes, this was strange, all the others only had two, and, or one. The first dorr was full of the Jou his friends knew, the happy, excited, fun kid that everyone loved.

Seth opened the second door, to find a room of painful memories of abuse. Seth decided that sice Jou had been through so much pain, he had a Yami that like to put that on display. Seth then stubled across something he never wanted to see. Jou being raped, badly, I may say. Seth stared in shock and amasement. Seth took this under consideration, and exited that room.

He entered a third room, and this room was cold, uncaring, unhospitible to the most vile of creatures, inside this room there was another door, and he entered it, this room was warm, and cozy, with another door. Seth understood that these were the rooms of Jou's emotions, rooms that no other had.

Seth entered the final room, and there stood, in astraight jacket, bound and gagged, bloody and beaten, lifeless body. Seth looked around, and surely, it was a trap. A shadow laughed quietly, nodding knowlingly.

"Who are you?" Seth asked, a tone so cold it could freeze a active volcano.

"I am Laiabelle, and I want out." The deep, seductive voice said.

"Why are you hurting Jou?" Seth asked

"He is my vessel, if I have to get out, I have to get out, any means necassary. He won't let me out, so I'm making a way." Lai shrugged, smiling in the shadows.

"Show yourself." Seth demanded "I am your High Preist, Bow to me."

"No. Now get out of my vessel." The voice chuckled cruelly, and pushed Seth out of Jou's mind.

~!~!~!~!~!~

Seth returned safely. But shaken still.

"He wants out, real bad." Seth said, and growled "And he'll kill you to get his way."

"Does he have a name?" Jou asked

"Laiabelle." Excaped Jou's own lips, in a deep dirty tone.

Jou 'Eeped', and covered his mouth tightly with both hands.

"Get the Pharoah, this is a matter that cannot wait until morning." Kaiba ordered

"Seto, there is more you need to know." Seth said in a hushed tone. "You must come speak with me a moment."

Kaiba nodded, and followed his Yami out into the next room.

"I saw this Sadistical shadow, and saw Jou's been raped, severely. He is flaunting it, Laiabelle is flauntin all of the pain in Jou's past, and he didn't have one or two rooms, Seto, he had four. One of who we know, one of pain, one of emotions, and one that belonged to Laiabelle. Something is strange about this boy, Seto, I'm not sure if it is wise to tell the Pharoah just yet." Seth said

"Why not? He is in pain, and The Pharoah can help! You know I cannot idly sit by while someone I care for is being torn from the inside out. I'm calling them all. They are all going to come, this is important." Kaiba glared at Seth

"There is a problem, I do not remember a 'Laiabelle' from the ancient days, Laiabelle is a Hebrew name that came about only During the second world war." Seth hissed "I have a suspision he is not from any past at all, if I'm correct, it is actually opposite, I think he is from the future."
