Ch. 2: Returning to You

"Come on, Pharaoh!" Bakura called through the door of Yami's room.

"I told you, I'm not going down there." Yami said dully from the other side of the door.

"Pharaoh! They are all here for YOU! You better get out here right now!" Bakura threatened.

There was silence.

"Alright then. I guess I have to break down the door again." Bakura sighed dramatically. Yami still didn't respond.

"Get ready Pharaoh!" Bakura warned and got ready to kick the door in. But to his saticifaction Yami opened the door before Bakura could carry out his threat.

"If you DO break this door again, I will kill you." Yami said in a dangerous tone.

"At least this time I gave you a warning." Bakura countered.

"Still won't make up for the one I had to replace." Yami muttered and shut the door behind him then sood out in the hall, "Alright, you got me out. Now what?"

"We have fun!" Bakura said and slung an arm around Yami's neck and steered him toward the party. Yami grimaced and wanted to more than ever, get out of the room. He was not in the mood to mingle. But saddly for the king, they wouldn't let him be. They chatted with him he answered things as best he could think to, and some of the women flirted with him. But he ignored them. Only one person had that place in his heart. And she was gone.

No! He would not dwell on that. Not there. He was not going to be selfish and push everyone away. He would pull through. So, Yami stayed. A while later the people began to share stories from their past. Yami listened as best he could but wasn't exactly paying attention. Crystal was in the middle of telling the story of how she had met Marik...When Yami heard it. A soft, and musical voice. He looked up and forgetting where he was silently walked over to the window. As if in a trance.

"Yami?" Seth questioned his cousin. Yami ignored Seth and continued toward the window. He then strained his ears to hear the voice. Bakura noticed Yami's absence and was about to get up and drag the Pharaoh back down to the party when he saw Yami staring out the window. Bakura growled in frustration and got up. No one noticed him and he walked over to Yami.

"Pharaoh! What are you doing over here?" Bakura demanded.

"Shh." Yami shushed the other man.

"What?" Bakura didn't seem too pleased with being shushed.

"Shh! Listen." Yami hissed then Bakura was silent as well. Then he heard it too. A song.

"Alone was I left to live. Alone was I left to die. Feared by those who I thought to call friends. But only to learn of their lies.

Feared by all afraid of none. Hater of those of the other one.

A new name I was called and I took it with pride. But alas it was all in vain,

For I was nearly driven insane.

Despair and pain was all I knew. That is until I met you.

Your gentle voice, your careful touch. And there I called you 'My Only'.

At first I hated you with a passion, I would kill you in your sleep and end it all,

But how could I? For you are My Only.

Our love grew as time went on, but it was forbidden and I was so terribly wrong.

I acted without thinking, I uttered those words. Now all that's left is those empty words.

This name I had given you never reached your ears, but I tell it now in hope that you may hear. For you are, My Only.

As time went on our secret was out. I reacted and now it's too late. I can never tell you your name I have given. My Only...

Now as I take this last breath I say, 'I love you' My Only. You are My One and Only love.

You are...My Only..."

Yami felt silent tears roll down his cheeks. That song was of his beloved. A song of their life. Bakura also hid his tears. Suddenly, though, he saw a shadow in the darkness.

"Yami." Bakura said and Yami looked to where the other was pointing. The shadow was the figure of a person. The person was sitting at Bakura's door, leaning against the wall.

"Who do you think that is?" Bakura asked as he turned to look at the Pahraoh. Yami didn't answer, at that moment he had bolted out of the room and down the stairs.

"Yami!" Bakura called after the king, "Yami what if it's a trap?"

Yami wrenched the wooden door open and stared at the strange figure in the darkness of the house. He stepped out and faced the cloaked stranger. The stranger stood and Yami stared.

"Hello, master. Forgive me for my sudden intrusion." The figure said with a small smile and bowed.

Chapter 2. Just a note; I made up that song. I wrote it as more of a poem so it doesn't really have a melody to it so yeah. I wrote it and the title of the song is the title of the first book 'My Only'. Those that read the first book saw this poem at the end, now I had the stranger sing it.

Also an emmotional side of Bakura is very OOC. I don't think I was thinking straight when I wrote that part. XD
