ryou's POV

"And now give a big welcome to The Hikari's" Anouced the anouncer. After five long months this was our first real concert. Five month's that's alot of time yet here we are. Bakura thought I was lying when I said I was leaving. Boy was he wrong...

flash back

"Bakura could I have a moment of your time" I said trying not to let any of my emotions out.

"Hn...what do you want?" he asked me. at least he has the courtesy to look at me. I started to think of how to say this. I decided that being blunt was best.

"Bakura I know it's not in your nature to care but I feel as though you want me to just go away-" I started to say but he interupted me.

"Gee, what ever gave you that idea,huh?" he said to me sarcastically."Now get to the point." he finished annoyed.

"I don't like living like this. feeling that at any second you just won't care and get rid of me. So I'm going to make it easier for both of us. I'm leaving." I finished.

"Oh please like you'd survive out there in the real world. If you do go there's no doubt in my mind that you'll com back in a week, one month at most." He said smugly an with a smirk.

I glared at him and stood up angrily."Listen you've taken me for granted always thinking I'll come back no matter what, and I'm sick of it, this time I wont come back, so wipe that smirk of your face!" after that was said I walked to the door opened it and turned back. What I saw would have made me so sad had it not been for the fact that i was ticked off right now. There was Bakura sitting on the couch with a look of confusion and anger, probably for talking back to him. " Good bye, baka." And with that I walked out the door and slamed it.

End flashback

I was pulled out of my memory by Yugi.

"Ryou come on it's time." He told me he was right I could muse on the past later now we had a show to preform. We walked on stage and everyone who had ever herd us play cheered loudly. The ones who didn't had probably never heard us. That would change soon. I walked up to the mike.

"Hey every one thank you for being here. Now our first song will be one we call Comfort." That was one of the first songs I had written for us.

Malik starts beating the drums to a stedy beat, then Joey strats playing the bass, after that Yugi adds to the music with soft sad notes, then malik changes the beat to a sad one, now I come in with the lyrics.

"I woke up, at midnight

screaming for comfort

you ran in, and I thought you were going to comfort me

Boy was I wrong

you yelled at me, to shut up

you told me, go back to sleep(go back to sleep)

I tried, yet it happened again

I woke up, at midnight

screaming for comfort

you yelled, from the other room

go to sleep, and just shut up

I did, yet the images

made me want to scream for comfort

I knew, the consequences

yet I did it, foolishly, I will add"

Then Malik changed the beat from sad to angry, Yugi's beats were no longer soft and sad but sharp an angry. Right in time as I changed my voice from soft to loud.

" I woke up, at midnight

screaming for comfort

you ran in, and I thought you wer going comfort me

Boy was I wrong

you came to me

I thought my pleas were heard

you got to me and broke my heart

in just one motion

You slaped me

and told me to shut up

you said, go to sleep, don't wake me up again

I ended up worse than in the biggining

with no comfort(no comfort)

and a broken heart(broken heart)"

The song ended on a pretty sad note if I do say so my self. Yugi's song was next so we switched I got the guitar and Yugi got the mike.

"Hey there every one this song is called Do you really love me" He said as we started the music.

This time Joey's bass started with a steady beat, then I joined in with a mixture of sad and angry beats, while Malik's beats were happy and sweet. Then yugi started in a soft voice.

When we each finished our songs the crowd went wild. Malik was the last one too sing so he had the mike.

"Thank you every one for coming out here. Drive safely and good night!" That's Malik for you.

"Wow, dat was tirin'." Joey said when we got back to the hotel.

"That's an understatement." I said. Right then our agent Ann walked into the room.

"What is it Ann?" Yugi asked. She was starting to get creepy with that big smile on her face.

"Well tommorrow is Ryou's birthday and guess where I got you to preform." Ann said. Funny I didn't even remember that tommorrow was my birthday. Sad.

"England." I tried. She shook her head."Egypt." Malik tried. she shook her head."Brooklyn." Joey tried. Again she shook her head."Australia." We all looked at Yugi as if he had just said the sky is falling."I have a cousin there." he explained.

"No. I got you a gig in the middle of Domino city, Japan. But I was only able to book time for one song so decide wich one. I also got you a two month vacation." with that she walked out an closed the door. Oh no. I've been sad on my birthday before but now I'm hating my birthday.

"This is bad." I noded. I can't belive it, everything had been going so good we had done our first actual concert, nobody had bothered us, me and Yugi had been coming out of our shells, and now everything didn't matter. I had told Bakura I wouldn't come back and now I'm forced to go back. This sucks. Well I'll need rest. I start heading towards my bed and lay down. For some reason a small part of me is happy that were going back. I think I'm just tired. With that I start to drif into a restless sleep.
