Title: I am Yami
Warnings: Probably AU, maybe shounen-ai if you want to see it that way

Summary:(Drabble, AU?, maybe Shounen-Ai?) The birth of darkness and its search for light.
The being opened eyes it had never known it had. Did it always have eyes? It could not tell, for it could not see anything anyway. Nothing but darkness surrounded it and it had once been a part of that darkness.
"Yes, you are darkness." The voice came from every direction, strangely muted by the nothingness that surrounded all.
"You are nothing but darkness." The eternal blackness was thinning now and through the dim veil a glimmer was emerging.
Darkness had never shown such beauty before. The voice was speaking even as he drew closer to the light.
"Yes, yes. Find your light. Darkness needs its light just as light needs its darkness."
He reached out a hand, because he did indeed have a hand now. Darkness condensed and human flesh was formed.
"Darkness is ready to find its light."
And he was free of the realm of darkness, staring in to a pair of startled amethyst eyes.
"My light…my hikari…" He was barely aware of the moving, breathing, living world around him. All he could see was his light. All he wanted to see was his light.
"Who…are you?" The innocent question sent his mind reeling. Who was he? What was he? Why was he here?
That voice rose up once more, quiet and confident with one last answer.
"You are darkness."
I am darkness, he echoed, despair touching his mind with the promise of everlasting darkness. The promise of what he would always be and never become.
"I am Yami." The sorrow in his words touched his light's heart.
Author's Note: I had originally wrote this months ago, but, for some odd reason, forgot about it. It's a just a short one-shot that was inspired from absolutely nothing. I just started typing and this is what came from it. I hope you enjoyed.
