Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Changing Ways ❯ Chapter 1

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or “Breaking the Habit” by Linkin Park. Reviews are welcome, flames mean more s'mores.
 
 
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I can't believe it, I insulted Yugi and his stupid friends again, and there I go again. Damn it, why the hell did Gozaburo have to pick me as his stupid son? The bastard made me as cold and as heartless as he was. Now all I have is Mokuba, and no one who would want to be my friend.

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
This is ending tonight; I'm going to stop being like this. I'm sick of acting like a heartless bastard. I don't want to try and become the Best Duelist, hell that was just an act to try and get some friends. Now I'm all alone.
 
What I want is to know why I do this, then again, I know why. That bastard Gozaburo. Everything I've done isn't right and I know that. Tonight, tonight I'm breaking the habit.

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I clutched my deck to my chest as I sat at my desk. My heart was racing but I didn't know why. Slowly, I looked at my deck.
 
“I told Mokuba that I wouldn't duel again until after Kaiba Land is open.” I said to myself. “This is for the best.”
I put my deck into my brief case and stood up. Slowly, as if in a funeral procession, I walked over to the wall safe. After entering about twenty different codes, I placed the suite case in a drawer. Sighing I turned to exit. As I reached the doorway, I stopped, and glance back at the drawer. This is for the best.

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused


I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
As I look over the plans for Kaiba land, I feel a sense of peace wash over me. I'm starting new now. Maybe I'll actually be able to become friends with Yugi. Never Joey, he's too much of a smart-ass. Just Yugi, he'd be a good friend. Maybe those cards' being locked away is a good thing. I'm finally breaking the unbreakable habit.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Today is the day, the day that I make friends. Gozaburo, you tried to make me your servant, someone just like you. Well guess what, you failed. I'm not a heartless bastard. I'm going to have friends, so you can just kiss my ass.
