Before we get started on this chappie. I have a few announcements to make:
1) During Ryou's POV in the last chapter, he says: 'I hate that I love him.' For some reason, y'all are thinking that I'm talking about Ryou being in love with him. No, no guys. What I meant was that he loves him as a friend, as a brother. It's nothing to do with romance. Y'all should know how much I hate Tendershipping. I apologize for the confusion, but I can assure you Ryou and Bakura will NOT be getting together in this fic. In fact, I don't even know if Ryou will be with anyone in this story unless someone gives me a magical idea to bring Mariku back, it won't happen.
2) I have officially started my new semester and though I have online classes, I have a lot of work to do, so I haven't been able to write much lately.
3) So, y'all remember back in 'Fang' how Serenity, Kisara, and Amane were together? Well, I am literally living that relationship. (No I'm not a supernatural creature though it would be awesome and since I'm apparently Kisara in my relationship I'd get to be a vampire haha) so that's another reason this has been taking a bit of time. I haven't been in a relationship in forever and I've never truly dated a girl, much less two of them, but I feel that it's right and they do too. And I'm very excited about meeting them this summer! Yay!
Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy! Again, sorry for the late update and sorry for any mistakes! Enjoy!
Endlessly:
I could love you endlessly, I could fall in love with you and we could keep a miracle alive. Every time I look in your eyes, I get lost inside of your soul. What are you doing to me? Don't you know that I hate you? Don't you want my blood on your hands? Don't you want me to scream? Don't you realize that it's too late to bring me back life? I'm already further than death. I'm drowning in my desire for you and my need to kill you. I want my hands covered in your blood, I want your skin underneath my fingertips I want you to reach out and touch me, I want you to burn me alive with your beautiful eyes. I want to hear your voice when I go to bed at night, I want to lie next to you and watch the world go by. I want to end you for good, I want to make you suffer, I want to see the look in your eyes when you look up at me when I hold the knife above your heart. I want you to know that any claims of hope you had of us is nothing but fantasy we'll never have. I want you to be the one that kills me, I want my blood on your hands.. I want you to end me I want to feel your passion. I want to feel your soul wrapping around mine. I want to know if you feel this too. I want to know if I can kill you now. I want to feel you underneath me I want to feel something besides this loneliness I feel inside. I want to bring the demon out of you.
I want to know if it hurts when I cut you up inside. I want to know if you really hate me or if I really hate you. I want to make me scream, I want to feel the power within me grow. I want you to knock me out, I want you to defeat me. I want something so much more from you than I could ever get. I want you to bleed, I want you to scream. I need you to know you're driving me crazy. I need you to know my soul burns passionately for you every time you give me that look I think I'm going to lose my mind. I want you dead, I want your soul to scream, to earn itself to me. I need you to know this isn't a game anymore. And what would you think if I told you that loved you this whole time? What would you say if I told you I never wanted to hate you, that I never loved you at all? What if I was playing with your mind?
What if I was lying right now? What if I told it was too personal to tell you how I felt about you? What if I told you that everything you've done to me was nothing more than just a wicked fantasies you dreamt of? What if I can't take it back? What if I don't want to? What if everything I said wasn't a lie? What if I tried to bring you back? What if I really did love you? Would you love me back, even though you think of me as a fool? Am I fool to fall in love with you? What if I told you that loving you is so impossible, it's not reality. I couldn't take it anymore. You burn me alive, I'd give myself to you if I could.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh. If I did, then Yugioh would have ended with Bakura and Yami admitting their undying love for one another and Seto would have pulled Joey into a kiss to shut him up because Puppy and Darkshipping rock!
Warnings: My usual, y'all know what that means, but for those of you who happen to be new to my awesomeness, it means there's lemony goodness!
Summary:
Moments away from destroying Zorc, Yami hesitates, asking Horakhty if she can set Bakura free. She agrees, telling Yami that in order for him to pass into the afterlife, he must break his enemy of the darkness, and he only as a year to do so.
Chapter Twenty-five: Iris
[Bakura's POV]:
I hate talking to Ryou. No, I don't hate the kid, it's just the way he looks at me that gets under my skin. He's the exact opposite of me. He knows me better than anyone else. I knew I hurt him, but at the time I didn't care. I do now. I don't know if I'll ever be able to apologize to him or anyone for that matter.
"You still hate your life even after you realized you're in love with Yami?" he asks.
So much passes through those brown eyes of his. He understands me on a level no one else ever will. Yet, he doesn't understand me at all and I don't understand him. We're alike in the sense that we lost the people we held most dear in our hearts, but we handled it differently.
I used him for my own selfish goals. I didn't care what I was doing to him by locking his soul away in his soul room while I used his body to get my revenge on Yami. I didn't care whether I was hurting Ryou or not. I've always thought he was a weakling because he hid in fear of others and getting too close to people. But I helped him in a sense. I forced him into Yugi's life and forced him to befriend him. In a way, we used each other to get what we needed.
What Ryou said earlier about us never talking has really gotten to me. It's both of our faults that we don't share a strong bond like Yugi and Yami do. I suppose we'll never be close like that. Ryou isn't one to get close to people and I'm not either. Though I am friends with all these people now and I share a bond with Marik and Mai, I don't feel close with them at all.
Ryou claims I'm unhappy with my life despite the fact that I've accepted Yami as my soul mate. But have I truly? I love him, that much is true. But I can't help to feel hatred towards him still. I don't want to hate him, but I do. I know he loves me, and I know I love him, but I can feel Zorc trying to break free of the cage I have him locked in in the back of my mind. How much longer will it be until he breaks free and takes control? The thing with Zorc is, I'll never know it's happening until it's too late.
"Living in constant fear will get you nowhere." Ryou says.
"You're one to talk." I snap.
"Why do we constantly have to argue like this?" Ryou whispers looking down at his clenched fists resting on the table his bangs hang over his eyes creating shadows that conceal his features. "Why can't we be like Yami and Yugi? I care about you, Bakura. Why I don't know. I should hate you."
"And you do." I point out.
"I hate what you did to me. I hate that you hate yourself so much. I hate how miserable you are. I hate that you won't accept your happiness. You know you belong with Yami. You know he makes you happy. You refuse to open up to Yami-"
"I let him take me, Ryou!" I shout. "How much more open can I be?! I have never let anyone take me before! And I let Atem take me because I love him!"
"I know that!" Ryou exclaims. "But you're still unhappy because you won't let go. You think you're going to hurt Yami. You won't trust yourself to be happy with him."
I stand up, walking over to the sink staring out the window. There's an owl in the tree twisting its head from side to side. I wish I could be an owl sometimes. I heard they're very intelligent and amazing creatures. The only thing they have to worry about is getting a meal and reproducing. An owl is a silent killer with grace and beauty.
I feel Ryou standing beside of me staring out the window as well. The owl swoops down then back up in a flash holding a mouse within its talons eating the creature. We stand beside each other in silence for what seems like forever. I hate having him around, yet I love it at the same time. Being around Ryou makes me feel complete, but it a different way Yami does.
"I'm sorry." I whisper, nearly choking on those forbidden words.
"Look at me, Bakura." Ryou says.
I turn to face him. "I already know you're sorry. I have already forgiven you. Yes, being around you reminds me of the pain you put me through. When Yami first told me that he was going to save you I was furious. I didn't want you to be saved. I tried so hard to help you and you wouldn't let me. Please don't push Yami aside the way you pushed me away." Ryou says.
We stare at one another. There's so much about this boy that unnerves me. He knows nearly everything about me and I've never told him anything about myself. He understands me because he felt my pain. While I was busy trying to destroy Yami and the rest of the world, Ryou was hiding in his soul room engulfed in my misery.
"Why do you care so much, Ryou?" I hiss looking out to the window again.
"Because I love you." my Hikari replies.
Silence fills the air at his words. He loves me? Why? He should hate me for what I've done to him. Out of everyone I've ever came in contact with, it this boy who got punished by being kindhearted. I wish I was kind like him. I wished I could be like him. Ryou is strong to have dealt with my pain.
"I know you're wondering why I love you." Ryou says. "It's because despite all of the shit you pulled using my body, stabbing me in my arm, forcing me out of my body to convince Yami to forfeit the duel, sealing my friends away in figurines and forcing them into comas. Despite all of that, I knew you weren't evil. I didn't know why you were doing it...not until that night…"
I close my eyes, my fingers curl around the edges of the sink. That was one of the worst nights of my life. I had always been good at putting up a block in our connection, but that night I was unable to. I kept dreaming about that horrible night. I woke up screaming and in tears. I felt Ryou pressing against our mind-link with all of his might. I felt him crying within me.
"I hated that you tried to bottle it up inside of you because that's what I did when Amane and Mom died. I didn't want you going through that." Ryou whispers, his voice shakes. He lets out a shaky sigh before starting again. "I know how it feels to feel alone and to blame yourself. It wasn't your fault what happened to you, Bakura."
"Don't be a hypocrite, Hikari." I hiss. "You know damn well you blame yourself for your sister's and your mother's death."
"I never denied it." Ryou whispers.
"Then stop trying to get me to stop blaming myself. And, unlike you, Hikari," I say turning towards him. "I also blamed other people because it was Atem's uncle's fault." I spit.
Ryou closes his eyes for a moment, shaking his head. "You know exactly who's fault it really was, you just don't want to admit it." he says. I send him a hard glare. Ryou doesn't back away like most people would. "You know it's true Bakura."
"Shut up!" I shout shoving him. He stumbles backwards, falling. He grabs the counter, pulling himself up.
"What the hell was that for?!" Ryou shouts.
"Leave me alone, Ryou." I hiss walking away. I'm forced to stop when he grabs my wrist.
"No."
"We're not having this conversation anymore, Hikari." I spit.
"Why won't you accept the fact that Zorc used you, Bakura?!" Ryou exclaims. "Hell,he raped you!"
My eyes widened for a moment before narrowing. "Why the hell are we talking about such stupidity? Just drop it." I hiss jerking away from him. "Worry about yourself! You're free of me. I'm not taking over your body or sending your friends to the Shadow Realm or making them into dolls! So why don't you just fuck off, Ryou and deal with yourself?!"
"Why are you acting like this?! Tell me what's wrong, Bakura!" Ryou shouts.
"You are!" I hiss.
"I'm trying to help you!" Ryou exclaims. "You've made so much progress and now you're going backwards! You know damn well Zorc is to blame for what happened to you! Why can't you see that?!"
"He's the only one that helped me! He's the only one that cared!" I shout turning around so my back is towards him. "He helped me to gain power to defeat them, to get the Items.."
"He used you to resurrect himself. He told you that Yami's father ordered the massacre, but then you were too late to get revenge on him, so you went after Yami, but you fell in love with him."Ryou says.
Ryou turns me around, wrapping his arms around my waist. "You are a wonderful person, 'Kura." he whispers. "You're funny, smart, and gorgeous. You have friends that would do anything for you. Zorc doesn't care about you. He uses you."
I grab Ryou's shoulders, pulling him away from me. His cheeks are stained with tears. I reach out to wipe them away.
"Stop crying, Hikari. You'll mess that pretty face of yours up." I say.
Ryou makes a sound that's a mixture between a sob and a laugh. "I will if you stop messing yours up."
I roll my eyes, turning around from him. "You should go to bed, Hikari." I mutter.
"It'd be pointless to." he says. "I feel your pain."
I turn to face the window again. The owl is still sitting in the tree, but the mouse it captured earlier is long gone. How long have I been down here? Time doesn't seem real to me. Ryou's last words are cutting me deep. How does he still feel what I feel?
"I-"
"Don't even think it." Ryou chatises. "There's nothing to be sorry about. You can't help it, Bakura."
"I'm tired of using you." I whisper gripping the edge of the counter.
"You're not using me; you're trying to heal and you won't let yourself." Ryou says. "I'm here to help you…"
"You should help yourself first, Hikari." I spit.
"I have my whole life to get better, you only have three months." he points out.
"Three months until I die." I mutter under my breath.
"You won't die if you let Yami know how you feel." Ryou says.
"He already knows!" I snap.
"You honestly think making love to him one time is going to let him know how you feel?" Ryou asks.
"We didn't make love...I degraded him." I hiss.
"Bakura…"
"I tried to kill him, but I couldn't. I felt so weak that I couldn't. He told me that he's been in love with me since Egypt." I say.
"And you have too." Ryou says.
"I know."
"But you were told to hate him." Ryou says.
"I was, but I still wanted him. I tried so hard to forget about that. I tried to focus on the fact that he was my enemy. It was hard. I just used people to forget about him, but it never worked out. The other day, I lost it. I wanted him so badly. It felt..amazing. I don't even know how to describe it." I say.
"It's because you're in love, Bakura." Ryou says. "It's supposed to feel good when you're with the person you belong with."
I laugh humourlessly. "What a fucked up twist my life has taken."
"You and Yami need to talk." Ryou says placing a hand on mine.
I turn to face him. "I know."
Ryou steps closer, wrapping his arms around me. I awkwardly wrap an arm around him.
"I want you to be happy." he says.
"I know."
"Let's get some sleep." he says pulling away from me. Ryou heads into the living room and I turn back to the window, but this time when I look back the owl is gone.

[Yami's POV]:
I barely slept a wink. I was up all night worrying about my Bakura. He's come a long way since I first decided to save him, but I know he has a long way to go. I know it's hard for my lover to express himself and talk about certain things. I want to help him, I don't have much time before he's taken away from me. I feel a shudder run through my body at the thought of Bakura being taken away from me. Ever since I've known him all I've wanted to do was protect the world from his insanity, but after finding out why he was doing I couldn't help but want to help him.
At first, I thought that was the only reason I wanted to save him, now I know it's because I'm in love with him. I won't let his stubbornness get the best of him. I won't let him be destroyed because he can't talk to me. I'll figure out a way to help him release that darkness. It must be destroyed before time is up.
I get up, stretching. I grab some clothes, heading for the shower. After my shower I head downstairs. It's still early in the morning. I creep down the stairs slowly so not to wake my lover who I'm assuming is sleeping on the couch or floor depending on where Ryou is sleeping. I stop when I realize neither one of the white haired men are anywhere in the living room. I head to the kitchen where only the stove light is only. Ryou is sitting at the kitchen table his hands holding a cup of tea.
"Ryou, what are you doing up so early and where is Bakura?" I ask walking over to the table and sitting across from him.
"Bakura is gone." Ryou mutters in reply staring down in his cup. "He's been gone since I got up."
"I figured as much." I sigh.
Silence engulfs us. It's not a pleasant or awkward silence. The last time I was around Ryou like this was when he snapped me out of my thoughts on whether Bakura loved me or not. He did most of the talking and I barely said anything. Now that he's quiet, I suppose I should do the talking. The thing is, I'm not sure what to say to him.
"What happened?" I ask.
"We talked." the Hikari replies darkly.
"You don't seem to be too happy about that." I say.
Ryou lets out a humourlessly laugh. "I tried to help him, but-"
"Ryou, you can't help Bakura on your own. We've already been over this." I say.
"I know that." Ryou sighs looking up at me. "I just feel like I haven't been doing much to help lately."
"Have you told him?" I ask.
"Yes." he replies.
"What did he say?" I ask.
Ryou returns to staring into his tea. "What do you think?" he mutters.
It's no surprise how Bakura reacted the way he did. I know Bakura cares about Ryou, but it's hard for him to apologize.
"I told Bakura he needs to tell you how he feels." Ryou says. "He seems afraid…"
"I'll talk to him." I say.
"Talking to him won't be enough, Yami." Ryou sighs.
"I know."
Just when I think things are going to get better, they only get worse. Now that Bakura and I are together, the fight is ten times worse than getting him in my arms. I already achieved that. He's admitted that he loves me. He's shown me as I've shown him, but he's hiding things from me. He's keeping things locked away inside of himself and Zorc, no doubt, is feeding off of that pain.
"I'm going to go find him." I say standing up.
"I'll come with you." Ryou says.
"I think you better stay here, Ryou." I say.
He seems to want to protest, but nods in agreement.
"I'll be back with Bakura as soon as I can." I say heading out the door.

[Serenity's POV]:
The duel Mai and I had was incredible. I may have lost, but I learnt so much from her. I hate people that don't know how to learn from their losses. You can't learn from winning because that is the goal. If you always get what you want how will be ever feel like you earned it? By losing we are able to learn from the mistakes we made that caused us to lose and do what we can to get better. We may not get to our goal the next time, but if we keep trying we will.
It's something I've always believed and it's helped me to get through life. Not having my brother around to protect and guide me, I had to learn how to deal with things. And after Battle CIty, I really learnt that nothing is impossible.
I've been in Japan for about three days now. I know I'll have to go back to Mom's eventually. For one, I have school and two, it's not fair to leave her like that. I know she knows where I am, but it's not fair for me to just leave her like that. I know she's a good person I just hate the way she treats Joey. I think if she talked to him and got to know him, she'd actually see he's not like Dad.
"Hey, sis." Joey says flopping down on the couch beside of me with a soda. "What's up?"
"Knitting a scarf for Mokuba." I reply.
"He doing better?" my brother asks taking a sip of his Coke.
"Yeah, he wants me to come over here in a little while." I reply. "When are you and Kaiba going to see each other?"
Joey shrugs, chugging down the rest of his drink before slamming it on the table. "I was gonna discuss it with Mokie yesterday, but he was sick so…"
"I'll talk to him. I'm sure we can work something out." I say.
'Really, ya do dat for me, sis?" Joey beams.
I scoff, rolling my eyes. "Of course silly. I'd do anything for my big brother."
Joey smiles. "So are ya and Mokie datin'?" he asks.
I look down at my project, my face heating up.
"Ohhhh," Joey says scooting closer to me and wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "So tell ya big bro how you and Mokie got together."
"We're not together, Joey." I mumble.
"But ya wanna be." he says.
I sigh. "Yes."
"Then ask 'im out. He's a great guy! Plus we can double date!" he half-jokes.
I smile, continuing my knitting. "It's just going to be hard to see him since I live in America." I mutter.
"We gotta figure out a way to get cha up here, sis." Joey says.
"We'll figure out one day. What are you going to do today?" I ask.
Joey shrugs. "Chill here. I guess."
I nod, finishing up the last of the stitching. "Well, I'm off. I'll see you later." I say standing up.
"Alright, have fun!" Joey calls as I push open the door that leads to the shop part.
"Good morning, Serenity." Mr. Muto smiles.
"It's the afternoon, Mr. Muto." I giggle.
Mr. Muto looks at his watch. "Oh dear," the old man chuckles. "Look at that, I lost track of time."
I laugh. "You should get some lunch."
"I'll do that. Have fun today." he says.
"I will," I call heading out the door.
XXXXXXXX
[Yugi's POV]:
"You didn't have to be so rude." I say.
Marik, who's sitting next to me on the couch, turns to me.
"What?" he blinks.
"Yesterday at the fair. You know Mai is good at dueling." I say.
"Of course I know." Marik scoffs rolling his eyes. "But you can't deny that she uses those giant boobs to get what she wants."
I can't help but laugh. One thing I like about Marik is that he's very blunt. Sometimes that bluntness gets him in trouble, but it's something I admire about him. Marik doesn't care what people think about him. He flaunts his sexiness like…
Hold on a sec! Did I seriously just think that?! I glance over at him. He's flipping through the channels in boredom. I'll admit, I've always found him attractive even after I found out who he truly was. It's the confidence that he has in himself that attracts me to him the most. I've lacked that confidence all my life up until I met Yami.
"Still, you upset Serenity." I say.
Marik shrugs.
"Marik-"
"Don't we have something more important to discuss than how Serenity and Mai feel?" Marik snorts.
"Marik, they have feelings too, you know." I say.
"I never said they didn't, but they're young and they have time. Bakura, however…" he trails off.
So that's why he's been acting this way lately. He's worried about Bakura. Yami is running out of time to expel the darkness from Bakura's heart. He's come a long way, but spending a few months with us and having sex with Yami isn't going to expel that darkness. I don't know Bakura that well. Sure, he's my friend and I know he had a bad past, but we don't know enough about him where we can truly help him. I'm not even sure Yami does.
"Yami will save Bakura, Marik." I say.
Marik lets out a humourless laugh. "I want to believe that, but every time I think he's getting better, it backfires."
"What do you mean?" I ask. "You see it for yourself Bakura's getting better."
"He is." Marik says tossing the remote on the table. "But it's not enough. He's closing up again."
That much is true. I tried to talk to Yami about it this morning, but he didn't want to talk about it. Even Ryou seemed to be a bit distant this morning. He left before I got a chance to ask him about it though.
"Do you think something happened between Bakura and Yami last night?" I ask.
"I doubt it." Marik replies. "From the looks of how Ryou was this morning, I think it was between those two. Though, Yami is the center of this."
"Bakura seems to hide a lot of things about himself." I point out.
"You don't even know the half of it." Marik mutters. His tone is sad and a bit forced, so unlike the Hikari.
"You care a lot of about him, don't you?" I say as a statement, not a question.
"He's my best friend." Marik says turning to face me. "Of course I care about him."
"Is there a way to get him to open up?" I ask.
Marik lets out a heavy sigh. "I'm not sure. Bakura isn't very trusting of people."
"But he should know we love him and want to help him!" I exclaim.
"He does know that, but that's not good enough for him. He needs to be able to truly trust someone." Marik says.
I sigh, sinking back into the cushions of the couch. Why does this have to be so complicating? What happened to the days of normal? No, I don't want those days back. Those days were nothing but loneliness for me. Bakura is my friend and I will help him, no matter what the cost.
"I want to help him." I say folding my hands in my lap. "I really do, but I'm not sure how…" I trail off.
"Bakura needs to tell Yami everything." Marik says looking at the entranceway of the kitchen. "Otherwise, he's going to be destroyed."
"Well, maybe we should talk about it with everyone and see their intake?" I suggest. "We need to figure out what Ryou and Bakura talked about last night that has Bakura so upset."
"Alright, call them." Marik mutters.

[Mokuba's POV]:
Serenity came over a few hours ago. We've been playing games. She's really good at them.
"So you only lost to Mai by 100 life points?" I ask taking a sip of my soda. We're in the game room watching a movie.
"Yup." Serenity says digging her hand into the popcorn bowl beside of us. "Joey was freaking out when Mai told him we were dueling."
I laugh. "I can only imagine."
We sit in silence, both of us staring at the movie. I love being around Serenity. She's funny and smart. Seto has been teasing me about my crush on her. I guess I deserve that since I've teased him about liking Joey since the day those two met. I'm glad Seto is finally happy. My brother definitely deserves it.
"How is everyone?" I ask.
"Well…" Serenity trails off.
I pause the movie, turning to face her. "What's wrong?" I ask.
Serenity looks down at her hands that are lying in her lap.
"Serenity?" I say scooting closer to her.
"It's Bakura." she mutters.
"What about him? I thought he was doing so well." I say worryingly.
What's going on with Bakura that has Serenity so upset? She and I have always believed in him. Neither one of us believed that Bakura was evil even when he was doing evil things. No one is truly evil, not in my eyes anyways. I know Bakura has a lot of problems. He and Seto have a lot in common in the fact they can't express themselves the way they ought to. But I thought that by having Yami in his life, Bakura would be able to open up more.
"He just seems distant." Serenity replies. "Yami's out looking for him."
"He left?" I ask.
Serenity nods.
"Did something happen?" I ask.
"I'm not sure." Serenity replies.
"Well, hopefully Yami can help him. You know how Bakura is. He's just like Seto, always hiding things." I say.
"Yeah, I suppose. Still, I feel like we could help in some way." Serenity says.
"Don't blame yourself, Serenity." I say reaching out to touch her hand. "You and I both know that you've done all you can do to help, Bakura and to help Joey."
Serenity doesn't seem at all phased by my hand on top of hers. I move closer to her. I love being near her. "I just hate to see people unhappy." she says. "Everyone has such beautiful smiles and I want to see them."
"You have a beautiful smile." I blurt out.
Serenity turns to me. I quickly look away. I can feel my face heating up. Serenity reaches for my hand this time.
"Mokuba, are you okay?" she asks.
Is this how Seto feels when he and Joey are around each other? This indescribable feeling in the pit of your stomach that burns you in the most pleasant of ways. What is it about this girl that causes me to feel this way? Is it the fact that our brothers are together? Is it because she and I have so much in common? Or is this something more?
I turn to face her. She's staring into my eyes. Hers are beautiful. I'm glad she can see me. When I heard about her near blindness, even before I truly got to know her, I felt horrible about it. My heart beats wildly in my chest as I stare into her eyes. I feel like we're magnets being pulled together.
The pull is too much to resist and before I know it, we're kissing. Her lips are warm and soft against mine. I've never kissed anyone before, but I know without a shadow of a doubt, I only want to kiss her.

So Bakura is gone, Serenity and Mokuba had a kiss. And Yugi thinks Marik is hot. Sounds like a good chappie to me. No idea when this will be updated. I'll try to write, but right now my eyes are hurting. Weird. Anyways I hope y'all enjoyed! Review lovelies! :D.
