Chapter One
Two years,that was how long it had been since their trip to Egypt and since they had lost their best friend. But to Anzu Mazaki she felt that she had lost herself. After that fateful day most of them split up going their separate ways.
Though they kept in touch Anzu felt she could barely take it. She talked with Yugi, who ran has grandfathers shop. It was nice but it never filled the void she had in her heart. She knew it had been foolish to fall in love with Atem but she couldn't help it. A sigh came from the brunette as she walked down the rainy path. Small droplets of water falling onto her head and she felt it, pain in her chest that would never go away and she stopped and closed her eyes to hold back her tears.
It was suddenly she felt something above her as the rain stopped hitting her and she opened her eyes to see Ryou Bakura. He was smiling at her holding an umbrella above her head.
"Oh hello Bakura, what are you doing out so late?" She asked the albino.
His smile never wavered, but she could see that he was lonely. Had that always been there?
"I couldn't sleep, I could ask the same of you Anzu." He said with a small laugh.
She smiled, though they had gone through a lot with Ryou and his Yami the boy was still so innocent."Just walking and thinking." She said softly.
This time Bakura's smile diseapeared and his eyes grew distant."You were thinking about him weren't you?" He whispered
Anzu looked up."I was...I'm sorry Ryou I need to go." She said quickly.
He watched her go and gripping his chest he looked down."Akefia..." He said softly.
Anzu did not know but Ryou was suffering the most out of them. He had a part of himself ripped away from him and now Ryou was alone again. He never knew how much he had depended on him. But after everything he knew that he loved him. That was what was the most painful to him. Knowing someone you love drove themselves to their own demise.
Ryou looked up and turned to his apartment door and unlocked it, he sat his keys on his counter and started water for tea. It was very lonely without him. Ryou felt a part of himself was gone and he couldn't fix it. All he had ever wanted was a friend, he had at one point begged him to not go and he had anyway.
Ryou laid his head in his arms as he sat down and cried. His long white hair covered his arms and shook as his water went off he had clearly ignored continuing to cry for someone who was lost to him.
Anzu had run a few blocks down and up to the top of a building. There was a garden on top but her heart it just wasn't in it to look anymore. She couldn't do it, she tried for two years to live without him.
Her feet hit the edge of the roof and she looked down and she felt tears come to her deep blue eyes. Maybe if she jumped death would be merciful and bring her to him.
One more step was all it would take. She felt the wind whip her shoulder length chestnut hair and her lovely cream colored dress. She closed her eyes and she saw him. His tricolored hair and a scarlet colored eyes that pierced her very soul.
A smile came to her lips and she took the last step but before she could someone caught her and pulled her away.
"Anzu what are you doing!" She looked up to see Ryou Bakura and tears continued to stream down her face. She gripped Ryou and to his surprise, she cried into him.
"I can't do it anymore!" She screamed through her sobbing and all Ryou could do was hold her as she cried. He understood her pain. After he had cried he had come up to this building for the garden and that's how he found Anzu. She would have done it too and he understood why. She missed him just as Ryou missed his other half.
After a few moments Ryou felt the girl grow limp and knew she had cried herself to exhaustion. He scooped the girl up and decided it would be much better to take her back home and call Yugi.
Yugi Mutou was asleep, one arm over his head and the other under a pillow. He was currently drooling on his pillow deep in sleep and then the shrill ringing of the phone woke him. Amethyst eyes opened and he sat up rubbing sleep from his eyes.
"I've got it Grandpa!" He said and hopped up and picked the phone up.
"Mutou resident." He said sleepily
"Yugi, I know we haven't spoken in a long time but it's Anzu. I need you to come to my apartment." It was Ryou, he sounded tired and sadness echoed in his voice. At one point he would have thought it was his Yami but he knew Ryou was no longer inhabited by him.
"I'll be there in a moment, I promise." He said and hung up.
He pulled on a jacket and left a note for his grandfather and he was out the door fast. He and Anzu talked quite often but he was worried, he knew Anzu was still saddened with Atem's departure to his world. He was afraid for her.
He took a turn and then went to walk to the front of Ryou's door. He was about to knock when the door opened. Ryou looked to him."Come in Yugi." He said softly and let him into the darkened apartment.
"Ryou what happened I mean how did you find her?" He questioned as Ryou lead him to his couch were Anzu lay unconscious.
"It was an accident really, but Anzu is suffering. I know that you were closest to your Yami but-"
"I know she misses him, I do too but there is nothing to be done." He said softly as he watched Anzu sleep.
Bakura looked to his window falling quite a moment."Maybe you should take her home, she should tell you about what happened." He said quitely
Yugi looked up."Ryou do you miss your Yami?" He questioned and scooped Anzu up.
Ryou smiled at him."He was my first friend and as much as he did, I cared about him a lot. It's late you should go." He said
Yugi nodded."Thank you Ryou." And with that he left with Anzu.
Ryou lowered his head and his bangs covered his face as a tear escaped his eyes."Akefia..." He whispered
Yadonushi!
Ryou's eyes widened. He hadn't imagined it, he had heard him and he was begging for help. What did this mean?
