Manga_nut(MN): Hey… *nervous half-smile* Ok, first, I am SO sorry I haven't updated in so long!!! Really. I appreciate everyone who has reviewed my poem and story though! And if you're reading this, then my next chapter will be up on my story, since I did that first. Point is that I'll try to update more regularly, every week if possible, at least once every two weeks if I can't. Oh, and this fic is about Ryou—once again. And his sense of loss; aimed toward his yami this time, unlike my other one.

Yugi: *peeks in* Are you done?

MN: Awww…kawaii!! Um, yeah, I am. And since you seem to be the only victim—er, volunteer—you can do the disclaimer! Lucky you!

Yugi: *muttering under his breath* MN doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, and we can all thank God for that…

MN: Hey! *wounded look* I wouldn't be that different… *image of Téa having…disappeared for some unexplainable reason, Yami gagged, Seto's ego punctured (finally), Ryou actually having a good role, and He and Bakura being main characters* Ok…well, it'd be better somewhat…

Yugi: *sweatdrop* …Sure. Well, all you lawyers out there: do not come. 'Cause we just got a bodyguard! *points to Hiei* Barrowed him from Hillary…

MN: Ok, since I dunno what else I can really stuff up here. Let us begin!!! *evil maniac laughter*

~*~*~*~

I want you to watch

I want you to see

I want you to just

Just be there for me.

I need someone who

Knows who I am

Never will leave me

Alone again.

I speak to my heart

Wishing for you

Someone who could help me

Protect me.

To give me strength

When mine is gone

To give me hope

When I feel despair.

I want the thing

I want the ties

I want you.

But I turn around and realize.

You were never there at all.

MN: So. What do you think? Please review!
