Safe Harbor
[Great CD! Giving me lots of plot ideas ^_^]
(Sequel to Not Quite)
"Oh come all ye pipers! O come to a man, and play the lament of two young lovers' stand... O come all you singers and raise up a song for a thief and a maiden that died much too young..."
Yugi raised an eyebrow. "You know, Kaiba, for such an impersonal guy you have strange tastes."
"How so?" The young CEO's tone made it clear he didn't want to talk, but Yugi answered anyway.
"Well, you've got a million dollars lying around, and yet your personal car was bought used. And your choice of music is...well, not what one would expect."
"What would you expect? Rock?"
"Er, something like that, yeah."
"Feh. That stuff's okay, I guess, but frankly I can't listen to it very long. Not the new stuff, anyway. The older ones are all right."
Yugi was rather shocked; he'd just heard -the Seto Kaiba- say 'stuff,' 'okay', and 'I guess', three terms he'd thought Kaiba didn't even know. There was a long silence.
Eventually the song ended, and the track changed. "My lady's a-waitin', it's been nigh a year; it'll be yet another, and moredo I fear... Finally home we are headed, instead of aweigh, and I long for the lighthouse where lives Caroline. And I long for the lighthouse, it's loved light to see, I dream of the maiden that waits there for me... And I pray that together forever we'll be..."
"When I sail home into her safe harbor," Kaiba sang quietly. "I fear it is over for me and my matesas the storm takes us over and the mizenmast breaks; it strikes the good captain down dead at the wheel... The wind is a-howlin', and the ship starts to heel..." He pulled into his usual parking space and turned off the ignition, silencing the radio. He and the spiky-haired duelist climbed out.
Yugi hesitated, biting his lip. "Hey, Kaiba?"
Kaiba turned to glance at him, not saying anything.
"...How does that song end?" Yugi finally asked.
"The ship sinks, and the man dies," Kaiba said flatly. "Why?"
"It's...er...never mind," the younger duelist replied quietly.
[Sorry, had to get that out ^_^ Now I'm going to bed, it's late!]
