Hey, people. Don't yell at me for this fic. I KNOWI'm supposed to be working on Eclipseand Light Reflections, and hopefully another chapter will be out soon. This is just a little something to get me back into the mood of writing YuGiOh! so that hopefully I can complete Light Reflections, as no one seems to want it. +shrugs+Don't really care, one way or another. If I have to, I'll delete it, and then I won't have to worry about it anymore.

Anyway, this one's a bit...dark. Yes, someone goes mental in this. Hence the rating.

DISCLAIMER: Nope. Sooooo not mine. As a matter of fact, it's not even close to being mine. So don't sue, alright? You won't get anything.

Wait and Bleed

One-Shot Song-fic

i've felt the hate rise up in me...

kneel down and clear the stones of leaves...

i wander over where you can't see...

inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

It all started out simply enough.

For 16 years, he had been ignored and abused... and then...

Then he had solved the Sennen Puzzle. Then things got complicated. He made true friends with the help of the spirit (named Yami) of said puzzle. He had made bitter enemies (read 'psychotic-loonies-on-a-caffeine-high') because of said spirit. He had helped Yami save the world from evil, hooked up with the spirit and got fucked senseless... and then everything went from complicated to difficult to perplexing to just plain impossible.

Something had happened to him; something that he had been forced to hide from everyone (including Yami) for fear of his life. Someway or another, for some insane reason, the Shadows had chosen him as their new vessel. Yugi had known that Yami had cut himself off from the Shadows' influence (as had everyone else in their little group) in order to seal them away for all eternity. He had known that the Shadows would force their way out of their prison and choose another vessel or two.

But, still, he was probably the last person that should have been chosen.

Sighing wearily, he forced himself to snap out of his thoughts and listen to Jounachii's rant about Seto's sudden 'distance' from him.

goodbye!

Yugi climbed the stairs to his bedroom wearily. His hold on the Shadows was slipping constantly, and he feared what Yami would do or say when he found out. Hell, never mind Yami. Yugi feared what the Shadows would do when they found out that he was sleeping with their former vessel. They not only hated yami; they loathed him.

i wipe it off on the tile, the light is brighter this time

everything is 3-D blasphemy

my eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up

this is not the way i pictured me

i can't control my shakes

how the Hell did i get here?

something about this, so very wrong...

i have to laugh out loud, i wish i didn't like this

is it a dream or a memory?

He opened his door, flicked the light switch, and stopped dead in his tracks as he nearly had an aneurysm. Rage flickered deep inside him, and vainly he tried to hold it back. After all, it wouldn't do to make the Shadows aware of what was going on.

On his bed, HIS bed mind you, Seto Kaiba and Yami were just now realizing that they had an audience. Yami opened his mouth to say something to Yugi, but one look into Yugi's eyes and his mouth snapped shut.

Distantly the sound of thunder was heard.

i've felt the hate rise up in me...

kneel down and clear the stones of leaves...

i wander over where you can't see...

inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

Yugi was practically growling and his overly-large amethyst eyes were now narrowed so harshly they resembled Yami's sharper-shaped eyes. The beautiful amethyst color was quickly bleeding to a violet so deep it looked black. When he spoke, his voice slithered out from between tightly clenched teeth; giving it a serpentine hissing sound.

"What the HELL do you think you are doing!"

Yami shrank from Yugi's furious gaze, and tried to hide behind the larger Seto.

Seto merely looked at Yugi, almost lazily, and smirked. "Fucking your lover. Why? Do you have a problem with that?"

get outta my head cuz i don't need this

why didn't i see this?

i'm a victim- manchurian candidate

i have sinned by just

makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away

YUGI'S POV

My eyes narrow and I feel the anger soar through me, begging to be released. The Shadows begin to beat against the seal, demanding that Yami pay for his transgressions. For the first time since becoming the Shadows' host, I find myself wanting to free them; wanting to share in the destruction they were capable of.

But I want to surprise him, both of them, everyone.

Everyone thinks me the little one; the one who's to pure to feel anger. And I guess that is true... to an extent. I feel anger, rage, loathing, pain; but I'm too...pure? to act on it. I never did like violence. But let me tell you. Sixteen years of abuse and neglect, followed by four years of battles and loss... it never leaves you. No matter how innocent or loving or happy you seem to others, there's always that one part of you hidden deep underneath; a part of you that's twisted beyond all recognition.

And it seems that my yami, Mr.I'mThePharoahAndMyWordIsLaw, has never learned this fact. And it also seems that he doesn't think I'll do anything but cry and run away.

Oh, boy. I think I'm going to have some fun...

i've felt the hate rise up in me...

kneel down and clear the stones of leaves...

i wander over where you can't see...

inside my shell, I wait and bleed...

The two go back to their 'activities', or rather, Seto turns Yami towards him and tries to entice him back into playing. I can feel the anger growing. Yami is mine. With a mental smirk, I gladly release the Shadows. Hurt, betrayal, sorrow, insanity, anger, fear, hate, loathing, pain. Things I've kept bottled up for years burst free with them, and suddenly the room bursts into brilliant light. It has to be coming from me, as I'm currently the one furious enough to be tapping into anything metaphysical right now.

But I though that the aura of the Shadows was a blackish-gold?...no matter.

I see their faces staring up at me in confusion. I growl when Seto's arms encircle MY yami, and suddenly Yami's eyes widen. He, at least, seems to realize that he's not the only one who has some sort of connection to the Shadows.

I grin evilly.

goodbye!

KAMI-SAMA'S POV

Seto glared at the glowing midget. He wanted so badly to start laughing. This little radioactive puffball was expecting him to be intimidated?

Yami just watched as Yugi's eyes narrowed even more, becoming mere slits that watched as Seto sneered. The glowing aura of brilliant power gained black and crimson streaks. Yami's eyes went wide with understanding. The Shadows! So that was what Yugi had been hiding from him!

With a shaky sob, he disentangled himself from Seto and stumbled his way, naked as the day he was born, over to Yugi. Without even looking at him, Yugi grabbed him and thrust Yami behind his body.

you haven't learned a thing

i haven't changed a thing

my flesh was on my bones

the pain was always free

Seto was confused. What the Hell was Yami doing? Surely he couldn't be afraid of the glowing puff-ball, could he? He watched as Yugi formed a protective stance in front of Yami. He watched as the aura gained even more black and crimson streaks that stood out amongst the silver and gold. But, still, he was unafraid.

But then Yugi spoke -his voice and his eyes promising death. And Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp., knew fear.

"you think this is a game? You toy with Jounachii, you lie to your brother, you seduce MY lover, you betray yours, and you expect to be forgiven. What would be punishment enough for the things you've done?" The narrowed slits that were Yugi's eyes widened as Yami hugged him from behind. Crimson eyes that were starting to harden with anger but for the most part were still dripping with tears focused on Seto as he whispered a suggestion hesitantly into Yugi's ears.

Seto watched uncertainly as Yugi's eyes closed and a satisfied smirk briefly crossed his face. Then the eyes flashed open to their normal width. "Perfect,” he purred.

He raised a hand and muttered something under his breath and a beam of jade-green light shot towards Seto. The second it touched him, Seto burst into emerald-colored flames.

"Goodbye, Seto Kaiba."

i've felt the hate rise up in me...

kneel down and clear the stones of leaves...

i wander over where you can't see...

inside my shell, i wait and bleed...

Yugi turned towards his lover; and his anger with yami coupled with the Shadows' loathing of the Pharoah, took over him. With a furious snarl, he sent the same beam of energy to Yami and watched as Yami burst into flames.

The Shadows soothed his immediate grief and fused themselves permanently with his soul -there would be no more repeats of abandoning or sealing them away.

Yugi opened his eyes and stared at the ashes of his yami, threw back his head, and laughed. Long, loud, and hysterical. The sound was cold and evil, and if the Devil had heard it, it would have curdled his blood.

They were ready.

and it waits for you!

So? What do you think? It's a bit more dark than I had originally intended, but who really cares? It's a fic that I love and I shall love it forever and ever and ever and ever and ever...
