Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Say My Name ❯ Say My Name ( Chapter 1 )

Tendershipping songfic. I know, the horror and all. Eh. R has amnesia or something. B came back to be with him, and found he was forgotten. Seems R has a terminal disease or something, too. Oh, I love to write angst, I do, I do, I do.

 

Disclaimer: Yugioh, Ryou Bakura, and his yami all belong to Kazuki Takahashi, not me. The song Say My Name belongs to Within Temptation. The fic idea belongs to me. I believe that'll do.

 

 

Say my name, so I will know you're back, you're here again, for awhile.

 

“Yadonushi, please,” I whisper.

 

You do not respond. You are barely awake now, and your mind is clouded with sedatives. But more than that. Too much more.

 

“Yadonushi, it's me. Please say you remember. Please…”

 

Oh, let us share the memories that only we can share, together. Tell me about the days before I was born, how we were as children.

 

Hours, I have sat here, waiting for you to answer me. Days, I have stayed at your side, hoping you will remember me. Years, I have longed to return to you, and never once did I imagine this could happen.

 

“Don't you remember anything?” I touch your face, and you turn away.

 

“Damnit, yadonushi. Our first kiss, you have to remember that. You wouldn't shut up about it for days. You said you wouldn't ever forget, because it was just too memorable….You remember, don't you?”

 

You turn back to me.

 

You touch my hand as colors come alive, in your heart and in your mind. I cross the borders of time, leaving today behind, to be with you again.

 

“I know you….”

 

Yes! Yes, I knew you would remember. I grab your hand.

 

“I saw you in the mirror this morning, but you weren't as spiky…was that you?”

 

I drop your hand. I can't believe I came back from the spirit world for this.

 

We breathe the air. Do you remember how you used to touch my hair?

 

I breathe in. I place a hand on your cheek, brushing a tangled mess of hair from your face.

 

“No, yadonushi. I am not your reflection. I am your yami. Can't you remember at all? You used to sit for hours, fussing with my hair.”

 

I move my hand up to rest against your temple.

 

“My name, say it, yadonushi. You know it. I told you.”

 

You're not aware. Your hands keep still. You just don't know I'm here.

 

Your eyes have lost focus again. Why, yadonushi? Am I so easy to forget?

 

It hurts too much. I pray that soon you're released to where you belong.

 

I look around the room. So cold it is. So white. You don't belong here. You belong with me, always with me. Why can't you see that, yadonushi? You knew it once. Remember, damn you!

 

Please, say my name, remember who I am. You will find me in the world of yesterday.

 

I pick you up, pull you close. I hold your head in my hands. You feel so good in my arms, so soft and warm. And so fragile. Already you slip into death. I was not gone so very long. You shouldn't be dying yet. You shouldn't have forgotten me. This is all your fault!

 

You drift away again, too far from where I am, when you ask me who I am.

 

“Excuse me…” I hear your voice, muffled by my shoulder. “But what are you doing?”

 

I pull back, hold you up to look at your face.

 

“I am holding you, yadonushi.”

 

“…yadonushi…No, that's not my name. I'm Ryou. Who are you?”

 

Something cold stabs at my insides as you say that. But in an instant, the ice melts to a burning rage.

 

“YOU KNOW WHO I AM, YOU DAMNED FOOL!”

 

You cringe. Now I've frightened you. But what do I care? How you've made me suffer, yadonushi! A little fear is only a small portion of the punishment you deserve.

 

Say my name.

 

“Please don't hurt me…I just, I don't remember you. I'm sorry,” you've begun to cry, and you pull at your sleeve, “Don't think any less of our friendship for it. I'm sure you and I were very close.”

 

You reach out to touch my arm, and I know I can't stay angry with you. You didn't forget me on purpose. You never would. And even now, as I scream at you, you reach out to comfort a stranger…a stranger. Is that all I'm left now?

 

I push you down and let myself fall on top of you. I kiss you. I touch you. I feel every part of you I can reach. I absorb your warmth. For a moment, when you don't try to pull away, I let myself believe you've remembered, that you love me again.

 

But as I lift myself off you, and you bring a hand to your lips in shock, I know it is not true.

 

“We…we weren't just friends….?”

 

Now I feel tears in my own eyes. I can't stay any longer. I can't be just a stranger.

 

“No, yadonushi.”

 

I lean down and kiss you once more, this one last time.

 

“If you ever remember me, look for me in the spirit world, yadonushi,” I tell you, and touch your cheek, “I will wait, but I am not patient.”

 

And then I disappear, back where I came from.

 

Say my name.

 

 

“….Touzoku?”
