The Fate That Binds The Will(Yu-Gi-Oh! AU Story)

Chapter 35

A certain redhead was going to the desolate Plana village. With a smirk on his face, he was looking around the place.

Vector: Hopefully they won't be late.

He stopped at the center of the village, looking up ahead. Then, a few figures in hoods and cloaks were coming on his way. They also stopped at the same place, just a few meters away.

???: So, anything to say?

Vector: They have no idea what's coming.

???: Is that so? Good.

Vector: What about you? Have you prepared everything?

???: Yes. It took a while, but we should be ready. We are waiting for your signal.

Vector: Well, the reincarnations have gotten close to one another. And I know who they are.

???: Good.

Vector: Don't get excited just yet. Like you said, I'll give the signal.

???: Do not take long.

Vector: Don't worry. You will get what was taken away from you.

???: Thank you for everything.

The figures left the village, leaving Vector alone.

Vector: Heh. I can't wait~.

???: Vector...

He stood still when he heard his name being called. The voice was faint, but he could still make it out.

Vector: Oh, so you came to see me?

He glanced upon his shoulder, catching the face of the person talking to him.

???: Your hatred is dragging you down. In the end, it will consume you, leaving a shell of your former self. It will truly separate you from everyone.

Vector: You think I care about my 'bonds'? They break easily like glass.

???: With a little bit of work, that glass can be put back together.

Vector: Ohoho, you know that if you try to fix a broken thing, you will end up broken in the process?

???: ...

Vector: You stay and watch while the show reaches its climax. I for one, will sure love it.

A small tear ran down its face.

???: Vector, just remember that there are people in this world who are willing to be your friend. You are never truly alone.

He glanced at the ground, seeing both his shadow and theirs. The other vanished in thin air.

Vector: ...You are naive.

...

There was this feeling that the young king of the XYZ kingdom couldn't quite get off. Yesterday, he felt guilty for locking his brother on his room, so he went to undo the magic. He apologized for acting like it, but the prince took it very calmly. Yuto was understanding and didn't ask anything about the truth his older brother knew.

Akari: Would you stop staring at the food and eat it?

Yuma: H-Huh?

Both his sister and his brother were looking at him with confusion.

Yuma: W-What?! Is it so weird to space out?

Akari: For Goddess' sake, you are 28 and still act like your 13 year old self! Get a grip!
