A.N. This was inspired as I
was standing outside in the rain this afternoon. ^-^ I was thinking how it must
have felt to live in the desert never knowing the beauty of rain, and then,
viola, a YuGiOh ficlet was born. So
here it is, my fic dedicated to Yami and his lost memories… Sort of… ^-^
P.S. I know that the desert
does get rainfall and that it is not possible for Yami to never have seen it,
but it would have been very few times, and far between for him. ^-^
Sky Water
The sky was dark, grey, and full of
natural danger. It was the beginnings of a storm. A natural phenomenon that
Yugi had grown up with, one that hardly brought any significance with it at
all. Something that Yugi harbored no emotion for aside from the painful
annoyance of knowing that he would be soaked long before he ever made it home.
Yet,
today was different.
As the clouds drew ever closer,
lightening jumping from surface to surface, alighting the nearly blackened sky
briefly, Yugi felt a deft trill of excitement run up his spine. An excitement
that Yugi knew was not his own. Thunder rumbled from over head and Yugi was
glad that he’d chosen to wait out the storm from under the cover of the
school’s breezeway.
Aibou… what is that?
The voice of his dark half whispered
and Yugi shivered slightly, delighted by the wispy voice that chilled his
senses. He felt his darkness seep out of the confines of the puzzle materializing
into a hazy image by his side, eyes gazing longingly up at the darkening sky.
Yugi watched the beautiful face of
his other, admiring the sharpness of Yami’s features, as the crimson eyes
penetrated the sky above. It’s a
thunderstorm, Yami. It means we’re going to get lots and lots of rain. Yugi
replied mentally watching as his dark’s eyes drifted over to him, watching him
before another shaft of lightening yanked away his attention. Yugi smiled
lightly, awed by Yami’s fascination.
Sky water…
Yugi blinked at the odd term,
cocking his head to the side curiously. Sky
water, Yami? Yugi asked after a moment, and for a long time his dark
remained quiet watching the play of light as it leaped across from cloud to
cloud, sometimes streaking down to touch the earth before vanishing into the
darkness of the night.
Yes, Aibou. Sky water, it’s
when the water falls from the sky. It’s something, I know deep inside, that
I’ve never seen for myself outside of your life. I remember, that I first saw
it here, when I fought the gang that had Jonouchi captive, but at the time I
could not really think of it that much… now…
Yugi nodded in understanding, now
that he knew he was a Pharaoh once upon a time, the rain really was an oddity.
Yugi smiled softly, wishing that he could share the knowledge of rain with his
other half, but knowing it was nearly impossible all the same.
A sudden booming crash brought the
downpour with it, and soon the muggy air turned damp and chilled, as the water
droplets struck the earth, darkening the soil and pavement and making a sharp
singing sound that brought joy to his chest. Yugi wondered briefly if Yami also
felt the sharp thrill of excitement.
Turning his gaze toward the taller
man, Yugi looked up at the once Pharaoh, enjoying the way his eyes seemed to
smolder under the falling rain, longing to feel it on his flesh, completely
engulfed by his curiousness, all of his regal and confident air nullified by
the childlike fascination that glowed on his face.
Yugi couldn’t help but wonder what it
must have been like to never know rain, or thunderstorms. To only know of them
through stories, to believe that they were but a myth.
Sure there was rain in Egypt, but it
wasn’t as natural—or frequent—of an occurrence as it was here in Domino, and
Yami didn’t have his memories yet to recall at time that he may have
experienced it. Meaning, as of right now, Yami had never once known rain.
With a firm expression Yugi dropped
his bag. It must have startled his yami, for Yami jumped and whirled on him
eyes wide with concern.
Aibou?
Yugi
threw his other a smile as he stepped out from the cover of the breeze way. The
rain water struck him harshly, making him shiver at the drastic temperature
change. Yugi enjoyed the sensation, the usual feel of rain drops drifting
through his hair, running along his scalp and down his rounded cheeks to pool
on his chin, as yet more drizzled down the back of his neck and arms.
Aibou! Yami sounded concerned now,
and Yugi turned with a bright smile reaching out his hand for Yami, and the
spirit seemed confused by his action momentarily, before giving in and grasping
the hand in his un-solid grip and stepping into the rain as well.
The rain drops that rolled off of
Yugi’s skin, fell straight through Yami’s form and the Pharaoh seemed saddened
by that fact, as his eyes roamed over Yugi’s now damp form.
Aibou, I can not feel the
rain. You know this.
Yugi only grinned a moment, his eyes
drifting shut as he willed the transfer to occur. I know Yami… I know.
Yugi felt the cold wisp of magic as
Yami took over, and soon felt the rain no longer. Hearing the surprised gasp to
his side Yugi opened his eyes, looking over at his own body, though much
different than what he always saw in the mirror.
Yugi couldn’t suppress the giggle of
delight that bubbled up inside of him as he watched the crimson eyed Pharaoh,
move his hand experimentally in the falling water. Feeling the chilled liquid
run through his hair, across his skin, and through his fingers, with a
fascination one would only understand if they had been deprived that simple joy
the entirety of their lives.
Aibou… this is… this is…
Yugi smiled, giggling again with a
nod when his dark met his eyes, those crimson orbs filled with joy.
A
child of the desert, in love with the rain.
Dou
itashimashi te, Yami. Yugi beamed, receiving a loving look from his dark,
one that made him tingle from head to foot.
Arigatou, Aibou. For once Yami seemed not to
know what to say, and that was just fine by Yugi, and now the prospect of
getting wet on the way home no longer bothered him. Just so long as he could
keep his dark in the fall of that rain for as long as it took for Yami to be
completely satisfied.
His darkness turned back to the
flashing sky, and Yugi grinned, wondering if his Yami even knew, how much like
the storm he truly was.
The
rain fell on. …Sky water. Yeah, that fits
it just about right.
Yugi
smiled, and led his dark through the rain, towards home.
