Chapter 1: One Last Kiss
3rd POV
Explosions shook the earth, and cyclones of fire burned through the city. Pained screams filled the air, until they were silenced forever by death. Inside one of the charred shelters, were the last ones alive on this ravaged world. An Egyptian male of sixteen helped his companion, a white haired girl of the same age, climb into the underground chamber. Their clothes were torn, their skin covered in black ash, but they each wore a belt with a deck box that was still in surprisingly good condition. He handed her seven items of gold and transferred three cards from his deck to hers. A dark, foreboding portal opened, and the male motioned for the female to go in.
"Please Malik, come with me! We can both go in!" the white haired one pleaded to the Egyptian.
"Ryou! We don't have much time! The portal only has enough power for one person to go through!" Malik desperately begged.
"Then why don't you go! Why me!" Ryou sobbed quietly.
Malik looked her in the eye. A sparkle of hope, the iron will of determination, and a frightening acceptance of his fate shone in his eyes. Tears streaked down Ryou's face, as she accepted his choice. He kissed her passionately, putting all his heart into it. While she was dazed, he gently pushed her to the portal. As she looked back, he whispered, "I love you."
She heartbrokenly mouthed back, "I love you too." Then she closed her eyes, and went through the portal. It closed, and an eerie silence settled over the world.
Seconds later, the house exploded in a bright burst of flames.
O.O I can't believe I wrote that. As you can see Ryou is female in this story. Sorry if this is a bit rushed. If I reach at least five reviews, the next chapter will be posted sometime this month. Please review!
