Mirror

Time to violent and sadistic!

And I'm not just saying that...

Wire is fun...

And this chapter might get slightly grotesque...

Not for the faint of heart.

It's not like you

To say sorry

We can't understand why

We don't know how

But now sins shall be weighted

And judgment shall me administered.

Mirror

Mirror of Judgment (part 3)

All of this time

I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark

But you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

Without thought

Without a voice

Without a soul

Don't let me die here

There mist be something more

Bring me to life

"Now, let us begin shall we?" Yugi asked, wire drawn. I struggled. Nothing good came from a wire. Nothing.

The room seemed to spin. I felt my mind whirl and my thoughts became rather distorted. I was loosing my focus between reality and fantasy, and I knew that now there was not much difference between the two. Yugi walked over to me, wire in hand. His face was emotionless and cold. I don't think I'd ever been more afraid in my life...all 3000 years of it...(well...maybe that one time at band camp...)

"Do you look for justice in people or only see your own faults?" Yugi asked.

"What?" I asked, but before I got an answer, a stinging pain came from my right index finger. I looked to see that my entire fingernail was missing. I screamed in pain. I now knew what the wire was for.

"Walk which path, power or freedom?"

"Freedom!" I said quickly. The pain was still so intense.

"Why do you dream when your thoughts mean nothing?"

Think fast!

"I dream because it lets me escape!"

"Do you feel jealous when the birds flying overhead are leaving you behind?"

"No!"

"Would you rather speak lies that bring smiles or truths that bring tears?"

I couldn't answer that, the question bore into my heart. But I couldn't answer, and I lost another one of my fingernails. Yugi shoved the wire under it and flicked it off. Well, at least he wasn't pouring salt on it afterwards. (As far as I knew...)

"Are you unable to confide in your hikari?"

"No!"

Once I had said it, a strange and eerie voice filled the room. It said:

"LIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" In a high and ghost-like voice.

I watched in horror as Yugi popped off another one of my fingernails. I screamed again. I thought I was gonna pass out from the pain. I bit down on my lower lip to re-direct my pain. My leg began to twitch up and down, another tactic for me to not think about what was going on. It was like a sedative.

"Do your loyalties lie in your---"

"YES! I am loyal to my hikari in every respect!" I shouted.

No scary voice.

"Would you give your life for your most hated enemy?"

"Yes."

"Do you fear your own demise or the knowledge of a coming even you cannot change?"

"My own demise..."

"LIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

I screamed again, crying out in intense anguish. I wanted to be away, I wanted to escape. I wanted to be as far away from here as I possibly could.

"Final question..."

I listened, the pain was almost blinding but I was here and I was going to listen.

"Would you kill the person closest to you to save humanity? Or would you let them kill you to destroy it?"

"I would kill them..."

"LIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

Before another of my fingernails was stripped from me, the illusion vanished and all of my pervious injuries added to the ones that I already had (namely, my missing fingernails).

I saw my reflection face me, and I then felt filled with rage.

"You're damn lucky. You have beaten me."

Then, my world went black.
