Staring it in the Face

This is a prequel to "Yugi's Despair" and comes after "Yugi and the Weeping Cherry".

The grove of the Weeping Cherry had become a secret place where the darkness could not reach, so Yugi took refuge there until he could find a solution. "Staring it in the Face" is the result of Yugi's sacrifice to the darkness. As much as he tried to fight, he couldn't avoid the inevitable. His fists remain clenched as his soul is slowly and painfully being torn apart but he doesn't cry because of the pain, he cries for the one who brought this upon him.

This is the song that inspired me. It's Aura from the .hack//sign soundtrack.

aura
if you are near to the dark
I will tell you 'bout the sun
you are here, no escape
from my visions of the world
you will cry all alone
but it does not mean a thing to me

knowing the song I will sing
till the darkness comes to sleep
come to me, I will tell
'bout the secret of the sun
it's in you, not in me
but it does not mean a thing to you

the sun is in your eyes
the sun is in your ears
I hope you see the sun
someday in the darkness

the sun is in your eyes
the sun is in your ears
but you can't see the sun
ever in the darkness
it does not much matter to me
