Was my Yami ever truly there?

At times, I could feel a deep pain coming from him.

And, I could feel something foreign, not of him.

That dark presence took and is trying to take control of my Yami, the one

who told me stories, the one who kept me up when I felt down.

I caught a final glimpse of him, he looked much different. . . But yet the same. . .

That Zorc, he used him. . .

I can forgive my Yami for everything that he ever did to me.

But Zorc is different, I sometimes wish that he never even existed.

Bakura, if you are out there, my Thief King, my heart's been stolen and you're the culprit.

Being without you is one of the pains that I never wanted to feel.

For all of the bad times, the good times lie in my heart. I'll always be waiting for you.

And you'll always have a place in my heart.

I've been reading Yuugiou again recently. I got my hands on almost whole first series then whole duelist series

and I'm slowly going through Millennium World. I'm going to be reading volume four and five soon. Praise the

public library system. and inter-library loans. I can't afford to buy much manga. I don't even have enough to buy

Kingdom Hearts volume 1 (and that's the cheapest manga that I know of) for 6 dollars.
