Yugi's thoughts
Chapter 1 – Shadows
My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
All those things I wanted to do…
20 bucks should get me through the week
I'll make sure it will.
Never said a word of discontentment
Never wanted to hurt anyone…
Fought a thousand times but now
But now…
I'm leaving home
I'm leaving home.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
No one can bother me. And I can't hurt them.
I've nowhere to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
My yami has already taken my place…he's a better me than I ever was.
Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I don't care. I'll survive just for then.
I know I'm not lost
I could find my way back…
I am just alone
…But I won't.
But I won't cry
It would dig the slash across my heart deeper.
I won't give up
I'm so tired though…
I can't go back now
I know I can't, I know…
Waking up is knowing who you really are
I'm scared in case I'm like my yami.
Like the Pharaoh.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
No one can bother me. And I can't hurt them.
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
I wonder if the Pharaoh knows I'm gone…I'm not me anymore…so how can he be my yami still?
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
They can't push me and pull me along. My life is my own…but what life is this?
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
Maybe if I went to Ryou's for a bit…just to warm up.
It's been two months, will that prove my point?
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
I see a barrel…there's water on top.
I see my reflection and freeze.
So much more dismay in empty eyes
My eyes…they're so empty…
…That's it, I'm going to Ryou's.
Bakura hates the Pharaoh, he won't tell, and maybe Ryou won't either.
I've decided that I hate the Pharaoh now.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I can't stay where I don't belong
I'm here. He's promised.
Bakura's helping too…I'm so thankful.
Two months, I thought…
…Turns out I've been gone for six.
I don't know why I put that ending on…it's random, isn't it? Oh well. Thanks for reading, please review, naioka1992 - xoxo
