Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The King of Games and the King of Thieves ❯ Where Will You Go ( One-Shot )

Priestess: This is just a songfic I came up with on a whim. The pairing is obvious to me, and it should be to you. If it isn't, read it again. You'll figure it out. Eventually.

You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

I won't deny it when I'm accused of being proud, self-righteous, and spoiled. The insensitive bastard will end up dead, banished, or crazy/crazier. But I won't deny it. I'll just try to punish you for reminding me.

You have yet to be punished, and it's your fault. All of it.

I hated you in this life since we met, because you tried to hurt my friends. I hated you in that life even more, because you desecrated my father's tomb and tried to destroy my empire. And you succeeded, didn't you?

I was a Pharaoh. A great king beloved by all, ruler of a great empire. But that's just 'was.' My empire crumbled, everybody I cared about died, and I was trapped in this damn Puzzle. Because of you, dammit. Because of you.

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

And now I know why. Now I know why you did what you did, now I know why you are what you are, now I know why you committed countless crimes, now I know why you're a heartless soulless monster.

And I don't hate you anymore.

You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

You know the truth now. You know that you've been manipulated and deceived your entire life. You know that it was all a lie. You know he was using you. You know, yet you can't accept it.

But no one can blame you. Even I can't.

Not anymore.

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

Why do we still battle, if you have no reason left to fight? Because revenge is all you've lived for. Because you wouldn't die until you had revenge, but now you have no one to take your revenge upon. And now you cannot die.

I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

Maybe it's my fault. I'm still after you. I'm out for revenge. I don't know what we're fighting for. I don't know why I battle like a monster, trying to kill you whenever we meet. I know you're immortal.

Maybe it's because I want to see your face. Mine is almost a fantasy existence. Without you I might forget everything.

I bet you would give anything to forget.

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

But that doesn't explain why my heart pounds whenever I see you, why my neck becomes sweaty, why that shiver runs up my spine, why my hands go clammy, why whenever I find out you're still alive I'm as relieved as I am infuriated.

It was your face that kept me alive in times when death would have been a mercy, and I know you're still alive. You don't trick me. You said it yourself-you are the darkness. And the darkness cannot die. You may be hiding in the branches of the tree I'm sitting under. Who knows what you think as you gaze upon me. I wish I knew.

I'm so sick of speaking words
That no one understands
Is it clear enough that you
Can't live your whole life all alone

I glance up, trying to seem casual, wondering if I might glimpse a flash of white among the thick foliage and know that you are there. Stalking me, hating me, planning your next attempt to kill me.

Are you there, watching over me?

I can hear you
In a whisper
But you can't even
Hear me screaming

You cannot be seen if you do not wish to be seen. I do not know if you are there. In a million years, I may look back on this moment and wonder if you were there all along.

I can feel you trailing me. I can sense your essence in every shadow. Maybe I'm going crazy, too.

I will live for eternity. Those around me will die, but I will remain. You, also, will remain. That is the only thing I can count on, in this mortal world of change and mortality, that you will be around to make my life a living hell.

That's all I live for.

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

I've always been a little weird-hard not to be when you're the spirit of a millenniums-old Pharaoh stuck in a gold pyramid-shaped Puzzle-but I've never had thoughts like the ones I'm having now.

I've never experienced feelings like these before. I've never felt that life is only worth living if that one single person is alive as well.

I don't know what's happening to me.

I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape

I think I'm in love.

You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
