Me: Ok so here is the 3rd chapter. Continuing from where we left off. Fanfiction still isn't working right but I won't give up till I figure out how to fix it.

Me: I don't own anything the game and characters belong to the person who made the game and designed the characters. I'm only own my daydreams that caused me to wright these. (I think my teachers got tired of me zoning of through class)

Enjoy ;P

"Seto nothing is happening." Ren said coming up beside. "Do you think they all left?"

"No there still here." I whispered. "They're just watching us for now. They'll probably attack once get closer to the room where Crow is."

"Why wait till we get there." she said, mumbling. "Not that I'm complaining."

"Because there are other dolls in there." I shuddered. I hated referring to Crow as if he was some kind of doll. Maybe he wasn't human but he was the first true friend I've ever had. And even though he took the locket from me in the amusement park it was great to have a change of pace like that. That night I felt light, and carefree and… and, I don't know feel something I haven't felt … ever. Not happiness, I mean I defiantly felt happy but, something else. Something I didn't know about, something that was never explained to me.

"What do you mean?" Ren asked, her voice shuddering.

"The room that Crow is in," I started, coughing slightly, Crap I better not be getting sick. "there are tons of dolls in there. That's… that's how he found out he wasn't… that he wasn't…"

"Human." Ren finished as my voice failed me.

"Yeah." I said. "But that doesn't matter. Even if he isn't human he's still my best friend and my first friend and there is no way I'm gonna just leave him in there like he's nothing. He doesn't look like a doll and he has a mind of his own and his own personality. I'm gonna get him out of there and I won't let him die again."

"Right." Ren said agreeing with me. I don't know why she was though. She didn't know who he was, they've never meet. At least not to my knowledge, and if so Crow didn't remember because he told me he had never seen a girl with silver hair before. "And when we do wake him up we're going to wake up PF right?"

"Yeah," I said. "PF will be able to tell us where there might be a good chance for survivors and places we'll want to avoid and where there may be a lot of danger."

"Wow sounds like she'll be a lot of help." Ren said. I looked back at her. Her silver hair was laying limp on her shoulders and there was dirt on her arms and legs. She looked like she could use a bath. I probably didn't look any better either. I sure as heck didn't feel clean and I knew I probably didn't smell good at all. At least she was kind enough not to say anything.

"Come on the rooms downstairs in the basement." I said as we came to the stairs I went down to find Crow. The memory of finding Crow down there hit me hard and I felt my body grow cold and my heart skip a beat.

I walked down the stairs and came to a quick stop. The room was overflowing with dolls. And papers lined the floor covered in dust. Even with my flashlight the room was still dark… dark, cold…and silent. It was it the room was actually a tomb. I had gotten used to the quiet but this was a different quiet. The quietness was from being forgotten. Forgotten and discarded. I walked through the piles of dolls shining my flashlight all over the place.

"Man what a creepy place." Sai said floating along beside me. "And what's up with all these dolls?"

"This is where they were made." I whispered. "And the place where they were forgotten." I felt said for the dolls. My heart felt like it was breaking and my throat clenched. My body began to shake from the sadness and tears threatened to spill from my eyes as I shined my flashlight towards the back of the room and I felt my body go completely numb and felt my heart stop briefly. I whispered softly. "Crow."

The figure of a boy was slumbed against the wall. I recognized the black hair and the crazy outfit immediately. It was Crow without a doubt it was Crow. He didn't move as I laid the flashlight beam on him. He looked… he looked… no.

"Crow!" I yelled running towards him pushing my way through the dolls. "CROW!"

"I crouched down beside him.

"Crow?" I said grabbing his shoulders.

"Heh. Nice Job recognizing me." he said sounding far off. I knew something was wrong and I knew what was wrong I just wish it wasn't true. "Good thing, too… my batterie's about to run out any second now. I know pretty lame, right? Seriously… I can't really even see anything anymore."

"You're a…" I didn't know how to say my heart was breaking and it was becoming hard to breath. My head was light and the room kept getting darker as I began to understand who he really was.

"You hit the nail on the head." he said looking at me. His eyes seemed sad… dull… as if they weren't really his. It seemed like the Crow in front of me wasn't the Crow that had meet in the amusement park. "That's right, you ain't looking at a human. I'm more like these discarded dolls around me. Nothing about me is human." No I didn't want to hear this. I wanted to cover my eyes and scream. I wanted to shake him tell him he's wrong. But instead I removed my hands and leaned back not meeting his eyes. I couldn't I was afraid I would lose it if I did.

"Maybe but you're still my best friend in the world." I said urgently. I had to get the message across to him. And I knew if I didn't do it now I wouldn't get another chance. After tonight it would be the end. I would never see Crow again, never get to talk to him or chase him the next time he decides to steal my locket. I'd never get to hear him laugh or watch him do flips and act silly or sound like he's a tough guy. I'd never get to share another surprise kiss with him.

"You listening?" he said looking down at the ground. I could tell he was starting to frustrated. But I didn't care. He wasn't just some doll, robot, whatever. He had feelings, a mind. He's my best friend and nothing at all would ever change. Not ghost, not the next idiot who wants to destroy whatever's left of the word. Not even death. "I'm not even alive."

I grabbed by the shoulders and pulled him closer to me. I was an the verge of tears, soon nothing would be able to keep them from spilling over. "You're my best friend." I pleaded. Please, please understand that. Please, please say you understand. Please say that you understand that I don't care whether or not you human or doll.

"But I'm not human." was all that he said as his head fell back as if he no longer had control over it.

"You're my friend, damn it!" I shouted pulling him against me. The tears spilling from my eyes and sobs racked my body. God, why don't you understand that? I don't care, I don't care if you ain't human. You're my friend, my friend, my first friend.

"Okay." he said softly, a whisper in my ear. His breath warm against my neck as it trickled down my back. "I'm your friend. Come on don't cry now." His voice was soft and soothing. He made it sound like everything was going to be alright. I so desperately wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that when I went back outside there would be people everywhere, shopping, talking, and going on as if nothing happened.

"Okay." I sobbed, nodding as I tried to get a hold of myself. It didn't work but I did quiet down as he continued.

"Heh, it's sorta funny. I'm almost jealous… that you're able to cry. But really, that's enough already."

I could only manage a Mm-hm. The tears continued to slide down my face. Continues, just like the water that spilled from the dam, it was never ending and showed no signs of ever ending.

"Oh yeah." he said, sounding like he just remember the most important thing in the world. "That skull ring I gave you… you still carrying it around?"

"Y-Yeah." I stuttered, grabbing my locket briefly before I continued to hug him. "I keep it in my locket."

"That's good." he nodded, his hair tickling my check. "That ring is proof of our friendship. …Our friendship."

"Y'know… you're the first real friend that I ever had." I muttered to him burying my head in his shoulder.

"You are my number one friend." His voice becoming emotionless and flat, it didn't sound like Crow anymore and it scared me. "My best friend. My best friend. My best friend. My best friend. Thank you… for everything… Seto." And he said my voice so warmly, he said it a way I've never heard anyone say my name before. And it just made me cry more knowing that it was finally over with. I hugged him tighter as my throat began to burn from the tears. Suddenly it became quiet and still. Crow moved no more.

"Mm… come on, he shut down." Sai said softly. I shook my head and laid it on his shoulder.

"You're wrong… he died." I said, dolls shut down. Crow died, Crow wasn't a doll, he was human to me then… and now." I laid down resting my head on his chest and closed my eyes.

In my dream I saw Crow's shadow on the horse of a marry-go-round. In my dream I heard myself saying; "I hurt, I tire, and I collapse. When I'm starring into the darkness, I found myself somehow entranced by it. Suddenly, I hear laughter. Fearless, mean, and yet… kind. It calls to me. The days we spent together are long gone, drifting away like clouds in the breeze. Even though memories are often fleeting, all I need to do is close my eyes and your face appears, clear… and… forever young.

I remembered waking up the next day my face still wet with the tears I had cried the night before. I remembered laying him down and pulling a white sheet over him. Sai said nothing to me while I did this. And I was grateful for that. The silence that enveloped me reminded me that I had a job to do. A job I would finish. So no more of my friends had to die.

"Seto…?" Ren said putting a hand on my shoulder. "What's wrong, do you see something."

"Wha…" I said snapping back into the present. "No, come one it's the last door on the end."

We ran down the stairs and towards the end of the hall.

"Crow here we come." I whispered wiping the tears from my eyes.

Me: Ok so here is the 3rd chapter. And good news, I think fanfiction is working again. Not positive but I think it might be. And for more good news Crow's in the next chapter. Will he remember Seto? Will he want to stay with her if he does? Let's find out. So stayed tuned.

Seto: Wow you made it sound like a cartoon series.

Me: 0o0… when did you get here… nevermind. You are an animated Japanese game after all.

Seto: … ok but why am I a girl?

Me: *evil grin* you'll have to wait to find out.

Seto: *gulps and backs away* somebody help me.
