Why Can't I Forget You?

by RyouBakuraShadow

After the last showdown between Yami Bakura and Atem, Yugi and the gang are now living their normal lives, no longer worrying about the Millennium Items. But not everyone is happy… [Post-Series]

37. Chapter 26: In The Hospital

Chapter 26: In The Hospital

I raised my head up, looking into… a man standing beside me. The doctor… stood there… making a sound. He cleared his throat. He… looked into my eyes… searching… something… like I had a guilt. The doctor must be… gazing into… my pupils… to see… if there was a trace… of regret. Is he… trying to… read my…? Yet… Why do I… have the feeling that I'm… in deep… trouble? It makes me… ponder… if I'm…?

The doctor… stared into my face, giving… a solemn look. I did not expect… that he… would actually… speak. The way he is… how he looks… into… my hands… made me feel a little uncomfortable. I feel…discomfort… the way… he… glances into… my bloodied clothes. His judgmental look appears like he wanted to suspect me. What am I…? I am a complete criminal. I'm so ashamed for what I've done. I shouldn't have taken him here.

If the doctor digs it out, I'm roasted. I'm roasted for life… and I'll be burnt in hell. What am I to do…? Who am I… for Yugi Moto…? Who am I to him? Who am I to his friends? What am I exactly…? I am so… in the ridge of danger to actually be… could I say… in lifetime prison…?

I'm convicted guilty… guilty for my sin. The sin that I've done to… the boy that was my friend… Who or what am I for him? What if his friends hated me? I'll be hated and maybe… What if it's worse? What if the worst thing of all… that they… don't ever want to talk to me ever again?

The doctor… is giving me… a disapproving glare. He shook his head. Could it be…? Could it be that I will be sentenced? That I will be arrested for my murder? I will be sentenced for my sins, for my commitment. I am so… the hanged man on the ropes… Just as the… the boy that said… which is not Bakura…

The doctor… inhaled. He began the words. "Excuse me, young man…"

Could this be… that I'm in trouble…? What if he… suspecting me…? What if maybe… I'm going to… be told to be surrounded by a bunch of cops? Is this the…? "Um…"

I am so pleaded… charged for my crime. I made Yugi as the victim! I'll… be killed on the spot…! They'll put me through trial… They'll make me encounter the judge. And yet, what will the judge say? What would be my punishment? What could be the result?

I must beg on my knees that I didn't mean… to hurt anyone! It was not entirely my fault! I did not intend to hurt him! But how can I prove it? How can I prove that I'm… not alone? How can I explain? What am I to say to the judge? Will the jury believe it?

Yet… What chance that I can prove my innocence? How can I give evidence that it was more than just me? Sure, I was at the scene of the crime… and it looked like I'm the only one… So how can I reason with them about… the voice? What if they find me delusional and find it utter ridiculous nonsense? Plus, I can't deny the fact that I did nothing for my cause. What shall I do? What can I do?

I have nowhere else to go… or where to run off to… Could it be…? Could it be that I'll be the one that will… should I say… take the plunge? Will it be the conclusion… about me? About my life? That I'll live my life on death row? I am so the goner… I'll be banished from the face of the earth… for actually hurting someone like Yugi.

Just like Yugi… and if it happens again… like earlier… Could others get harm the same way? What if another gets a similar fate as he did? What if… he would use me? What if he use me again to target them… or someone else? He would use me… as his pawn. Just like he did earlier… Just like what I've done with… Yugi.

The doctor sucked in breath. He questioned… in unexpecting tone… "Who are you here for?"

I blinked, absorbing the words that registered in my ears. What…? What did the doctor say? Did he say…who am I… here for? I suppose… he wasn't… pointing out… that I… It must be… he's thinking that I… Maybe he thinks I've… done nothing wrong. Maybe I'm not exactly in the deep.

Yet… I can't be sure of that. I'm not exactly off the chain though… I'm still the worst friend ever. I'm not the greatest friend to Yugi Moto. I'm not his friend like he wants. I don't deserve to be his friend. I have no excuse at all. I'm not ever what they say as a friend.

What kind of friend am I? What kind of friend… that hurts others… and sends them to the hospital? I'm not a good person. I don't deserve to have friends. I don't need to be told twice. I don't need anyone to tell me. I'm no friend… I'm just a foolish boy.

I am no friend to anyone at all… I'm just a horrible boy that hurts others. No one wants to be near the white haired boy that's jinxed. I'm no friend for anybody… just like everybody in the past said. Everyone… must think that I'm a curse… that I'm just a man that needs to be detain. I need to stay away… far away. Everyone shouldn't be near me… girl or boy… just as they rumored. I need to run… away… far from here… far from Domino… or even to this world.

I need to run…

…somewhere…

Somewhere, other than here!

Who am I… for anyone? I'm nothing… I'm nothing at all for anyone. Nobody! "I'm…"

But then… just as I was to reply, the doctor… swiftly looked away… when he heard a voice. The voice… was a girl that made… a coughing noise. It was Tea Gardner… who interrupted… the doctor. Tea… who was… interfering the doctor… spoke suddenly. She… looked… in tears… of sadness… yet… was capable to say something. She cried… softly, yet… yet still shaken about… Yugi's condition.

She felt depressed and full of tears and woes about him... But after five hours later, she finally spoke. She was the one that broke in behind him. Although with small words, her crying ceased. I made a frown in her direction. What does she want? What could she want just now? Does she have to freeze the moment?

But I guess… I was lucky. I guess I'm fortunate that she interrupted just in time… I suppose that means I had a landslide… at least… for now. However…whatever she's going to say… Could it possibly be that she's pointing blame or simply… Maybe… could it be… that she wanted something… else? Maybe… to talk with the doctor…

Tea spoke the name. "Ryou…" No… My heart hammered on hold. She… wouldn't blame me… would she? She wouldn't point fingers on me… will she? What am I… for anyone… like her? "Ryou… is with us."

The doctor frowned at her. "Is he, really?"

Tea nodded. "Yeah."

At first, the doctor frowned… but then… The doctor shook his head, went away from me, and said nothing more about the matters. For the rest of the time, he didn't attempt an afterword to say another word to me … as he left to talk to the nurse… leaving Tea… and me… remained together in the waiting room. During the waiting room, she wanted to converse with me. From what she wants… it was only… two minutes. It was two minutes… of talking, chatting one another as time passes of counting… waiting… and waiting… and waiting for the result of Yugi's condition. After two hours, Tea wanted to rather… go back to weeping continuously for her friend. As she sat beside me, at times she prayed in silence for her friend… to be alright.

Hours… after hours… no word about Yugi… and no other visitors… visit Yugi. No one… talked for hours… not a sound. As the silence grew, questions raised through my thoughts. Who am I to her? What am I? Who am I? If only she knew… about Yugi. Tea… If only…

I stared at my hands. If only she has… a chance… to save… him. If she did… would she get… hurt? Who am I… to her? Who am I… to Tea Gardner? Who am I… to anyone? Am I… the one… that takes all the blame? What if…?

What if something goes wrong? What if she's hurt if…? Who am I…? What am I exactly… around friends? Why does… it had to be… this way? Why does it have to be so sad? Why entirely does he have to be the one in bed? Why… it had to be the way fate said?

It's all my fault. It's entirely my fault. If only… he could… survive. Why didn't he… leave like I told him? What am I entirely? Who am I when a friend cries? I can't… I lowered my head, examining closely my dry bloodied hands. I can't save a life… and I'm just a…

I paused, watching Tea… cried throughout the night… crying in her seat without anyone talking… to her. She cried slowly to sleep… She didn't want to leave. Throughout the hours… She cried… and wailed over Yugi… as he stay… lifeless in bed for two hours. She cried… throughout the whole… minutes. She wanted… nothing more… than to cry… on my shoulder. She said her sorrows… and tears of sadness… throughout the hours.

She can't… bear to stand that Yugi was hospitalized. She… was not acting herself… like she used to. She… couldn't come back… to her regular self… being happy and full of confidence. She cried… and cried throughout the day until… nightfall. That nightfall… was never the best… thing she ever had. No word. Not a word spoken to one another. She never… said anymore… words to me.

She just wanted her friend to be alright. Minutes later, she couldn't stay… not even… Tristan… didn't stay for long. Joey… said he will see him the next day. I was the last. As I stayed alone, I couldn't as well like them. I paced back and forth… and continued getting on… and off the chair. I couldn't leave… more than Tea.

Hours later… a door creaked.

It was the doctor. The doctor spoke to me. "I have the test result… and…" He looked down at the papers. "Yugi is… going through a difficult time. I'm afraid that you'll have to wait longer. Now…" He lifted his eye level to mine. "Sir… Your… friend can't speak for two weeks."

Two weeks? I stood up. "And that means…?"

"We have to keep him in. Are you…? Are you his family member?"

"No."

The doctor eyed at me. "Very well. Tell his family for me for this boy."

I smiled, nodding. "Thanks."

It was then… the doctor… replied sadly… about Yugi's condition. He said… that his breathing… is really low. He added… that he would nearly… die of suffocation. As the doctor… spoke… he said that Yugi will lose oxygen if he didn't… survive through his severe cuts. His cuts… are deeply… and… he would die if he was taken out of the hospital. He said… he needs to stay for two months in order for him to recover. The doctor… spoke seriously that he needs to… take more… time to heal his wounds. He replied that he can't save him if he lost oxygen.

As the doctor… explained… he said that he needs care in hospitality. He needs a lot of time to heal the severe cuts. He needs a lot of… attention if he actually needs it. He needs to recover in the hospital in order for him to… to… What have I done? What have I become? What life am I in? What misery is this?

What… have I done to deserve it? What am I for him? Who am I for a friend? What's wrong with… me? Who am I to say that I'm not guilty? I am not. I never… ever am. I will… never be the same.

Who am I… to Yugi? I am no friend. I am never a good friend to him. I am never going to ever be the same if Yugi didn't… Who am I? What's the matter with me? How could I… be such a… terrible… boy? What if… if he never… survives?

What if he never… ever makes it through? Who am I… for anything? Who am I to him if he… had a funeral? If he had a funeral, I would never forgive myself. I would never speak to Tea… Tristan… and Joey… for the rest of my life. It's because I'm such a… foolish dumb… man. What am I… if he dies? I have nothing… but shame on me.

What am I… to him? What am I… to do? Should I… be far away? Should I run away? What am I… going to do? Whatever I am… I never knew… what they each… think of me… that I remained being stained in Yugi's blood. What's my problem?

Who am I… for friendship? What sort of man am I to hurt Yugi Moto? Tea… would say… Why, she said… oh why… does her friend have to be… sad? What am I?

The doctor… said the following words. "It's no problem… Besides… the boy needs rest."

The doctor turned away, walking off. I watched him go and noticed fast… a girl standing in tears.

It was Tea. She whispered, "Yugi… is…" She slowly slides against the wall and… muttered… with tears in her eyes. "Thank you."

She then… started sounding cheerfully slowly and… as we talk, she started sounding more like what she used to be like. She acted better and… then she spoke…

"Thank you, Ryou. Thanks for staying with him."

"Well… I didn't want to leave until I know he's okay. Besides, it's the least I can do."

"Besides…" Tea stared lower at me. What…? What is she…? I glanced down upon my clothes. Oh. That's right… I'm still soaked. "Why are you covered in blood?"

Why… am I so… stupid? Why didn't I wash up from the hospital? I forgot… to remove Yugi's blood from my clothes. I should have known. So… I guess I lost track… of time. I should have known… that's what she's indicating. Oops… I could be so forgetful. Who am I…?

I'm so… forgetful of it. I should have known… that she wanted to point about my mess on me. I guess she wanted me to clean up. Maybe she thinks it must be silly that I'm still soaked. Okay… fine. Never mind. Maybe it's nothing. It's no big deal.

What am I? What fool am I…? I'm so… dumb… that I didn't realize that. I suppose it's not bad. I guess nothing was horrible about that. I probably should wash off. I got to get clean. In any case, I don't see what's the harm in that.

You're… so stupid… to yourself… How could be so dumb shit? You're an idiot to yourself… You're so… dumb struck. Never mind… about the fact they would think you're the criminal. Don't bother at all to yourself. You could be such a dumb egg head. Never bother… ever to ask.

What am I… to say that friends will… hurt one another? What am I… to say that they would point? Never mind. Never mind about the fact that they would… Just don't bother… don't bother with such things. It's ridiculous. Nothing is wrong. Nothing bad, nothing worse.

Silly me. Never mind… I thought happily. They must be still… loyal about friendship. I guess… no matter what… I guess we're still just friends. Who am I? What… am…I to them?

"I…"

"Don't ask him."

I turned to look at the boy behind her. Who…? What…? What is…?

The boy… around the corner… spoke out loud. It was Tristan with Joey… that just arrived. Both of them… said never mind… to miss out that they're not here. They said… they wanted to visit again. They wanted to say that Yugi should… be visited even though he was traumatized. He wanted to tell Yugi that his grandfather heard what happened to him. Solomon said he felt devastated that his grandson got endangered. He explained to them that he can't see him until tomorrow.

He left a word… that he will visit his grandson in the afternoon. He will… see him until he closes the game shop. He told his mother that he wanted to say that his grandson was in peril. Solomon added that he wanted to talk to him even though he's in the hospital. He decided that he will see how he's doing. He really feels sad that he wanted to talk. No matter what, he wanted to speak in front of him although he was traumatized. He wanted to speak to him personally… even if he gets… an operation.

He continued… that he wanted to see his grandson although… he is staying. Even if he's staying in the hospital, he can't live himself that he didn't… so by decision he wanted to bring something for him if he lives. If he lives, he said he'll give him food that his mother made. His mom cried that her son was hospitalized… and she wanted to pay a condolence. She said that she wanted to say her sorry and her grief. If only… she could prevent it from happening. She moped that she wanted to say her prayers on her son. She begged to her husband that he should come see their son.

Mr. Moto said he wanted to say his grief as well… because of what happened. He told to them that he wished it didn't… that Yugi got harmed. He worded he will see forth about his grandson's condition. He wanted to find out himself… and see how he's doing. He also wanted to pay a condolence too for him. If he dies, he will get flowers if that's the case… if he didn't pull through. His father will be sad in his funeral, yet he knows he can't will himself to save him. He knows that Yugi needs his time at this moment.

He gave out that he will speak silently, hoping for his recovery. He'll talk in silence to the doctor and ask what happened. He will see him every day of the week. He wanted his grandson to be alright too. He will only hope for a miracle. So… Yugi's father wanted to see him before he's taken away from life. He wanted to say he wish that his grandson would be in peace. Tristan… spoke that for two minutes… as we sat together in the waiting room.

What…? My eyes widened. So… he…? Who…? "What are you…? Will he…? He'll survive… will he?"

"I suppose… yet…" He showed his hands. "Try not to ask."

Who…? Who am I? Just… What… am I thinking? I brought my hand to my forehead with a laugh. What am I to say about him? Yet… Can he make it through?

"I can't explain…"

Who am I… around his family? What am I to them? I laughed.

And so…

Tristan… talked over five hours at a time. He said he wanted to tell the others that Yugi got in trouble and they replied in return that they can't make it. They said that they wanted to pay a visit maybe if he's still hospitalized. Tristan briefly talked that the others were busy for now. Some were far away like Duke Devlin and even… Mai Valentine. The others said they'll be seeing him if he was in a funeral. They added they never believed that Yugi got in trouble. Yugi was their friend that shouldn't get it.

They felt sad that he got in danger. They told that they'll speak at times to us when they get the chance. They reacted that Yugi shouldn't have got in trouble. Tristan explained the others like Seto Kaiba said he was a bit reckless for landing himself like that. They gave out they might get to the bottom of this and find the culprit. In the meantime, they can't until the following week. They can't at this time until they see… the next week. Tristan concluded that he can't get anyone for now… until they stop being… a bit reckless themselves.

The next… is that they wanted to say they're sorry for not being around in Domino. They made an excuse that they can't until the next time. They can't talk to him until the next week… when they start coming back to Domino. They can't until the next week they came together for investigation. They can't until further notice. They can't until they finish their time alone. Yet, they teamed that maybe they'll think about it. They'll consider about Yugi when they group together.

They gave… that they would actually visit if they can. Tristan… can't say anything for now about them, but all he wants was Yugi to recover. Tristan can't speak until next time about them… for now. He wants Yugi to be okay, yet… he wishes that his friend doesn't die on him. Tristan can't… bear to see his friend to die on him. He wants to do something, including Joey. Joey… spoke as he snarled that he wanted to find the person who endangered his friend like last night. Joey… swore he wanted to find the man that hurt his friend… even if it causes trouble.

Tristan… can't withstand that his friend is going through a tough time. He… maybe in a situation in the hospital, yet he still wanted his friend to be okay. Joey… also said he can't stand that his friend is in a situation between life or… death like. He only wanted his friend to actually pull through and be back with them. He can't will himself that his friend is going to be gone if he didn't… go through. He teared that he can't… that he can't let his friend die. He wants to actually see if he'll be alive. He only wanted his friend to actually be on his feet.

Why? I questioned. What am I… around them both? Just… Who am I?

"Now… Tell me how you found him." Tristan raised an eyebrow. "Care to explain?"

"Yeah, what happened to him?" Joey said as he joined.

"I just…" Who am I… again? What's wrong with me? Why can't I… get over the fact about what happened? If only I knew what he'll say to me… I only wish that I never should have… "Let's just say… I…" What am I…? Who am I to him? What if… I'll get into trouble? What if I'll get in a big fight with Joey and Tristan? Maybe they'll… well… "I carried him… and… I just… found him…"

What's my problem? I frowned. Why am I… such a hesitate person? Why am I… such a… idiot?

Tristan and Joey… will never be happy… if they found out I've done something to Yugi. It's all my fault that I brought Yugi to the hospital. It's going to be the worst if they investigated that I've done something horrible to Yugi. It's my cause and my doings. If they solved it, what will they say? What can I do? What can I do if they figured out the truth? What am I… if I was going to face the others?

If… they know… I'm going to be… put in shame for life. I'm no good at being a good friend. Who am I for them? Who am I around the others as well? What am I to do about Yugi… or them? Can I still be their friend or… would they think of me like an enemy? I just wish… I could apologize… If only they knew what happened… but only… just a little.

Who am I… to him? Who am I to anybody? Am I just… no one? Am I nothing to anyone? I guess…

"Well…" Tristan got up from his seat. "Thank you."

"…" Who am I? I thought deadly inside. What is… my problem?

Why… am I such a coward? Who am I for them? What is my problem? Who am I exactly? If only I didn't do anything to Yugi. If only I just told him to go away like I warned him. If only I just told him that I… had that strange… strange person that was not exactly Bakura. If only he knew about the man that was truly within the Ring…

That man that was once a stranger that I thought was Bakura… when instead was a man I never knew or uncover. He was once the man that… once roamed in the land of Kul Elna. He once was a man that actually wished for vengeance… and lust for power. He wanted nothing more than to obey the master's wishes. He wanted nothing more than to harm anyone that gets in his way. He wanted nothing more than to cause chaos… destruction… and no mercy to anyone. I never thought he… could actually be the one that once was someone unknown. He was the man that harmed Yugi… not me.

He was the man that wasn't… actually the man that I know… Bakura was the pharaoh of Kul Elna… but what sort of pharaoh… I did not find out. If only Bakura could tell me what sort of pharaoh is he. If only he told me to… speak the truth and who he really is. It makes me wonder whether I knew who he is. All I know… is that I wish to know his identity… and who he once was. Was he really a man that was once a pharaoh? If only… I knew him.

I just… don't understand… about him. I don't know Bakura… or his true first name. Could he be… related or something else? Who is he? Who is he around me? What sort of man is he if he's truly a pharaoh? What am I to him? Am I actually… a man that harms others…?

It makes me wonder who am I… What am I? Where was I from in the village of Kul Elna? Was I related to the pharaoh that's named… to… the man that I know as Bakura? What am I to do? Who am I… or what am I? What is my purpose or at least… the man that was once me as the thief king? What am I like? Who am I entirely?

What am I? I pondered to myself. What am I… even who am I? What is my problem?

"Thanks for finding our friend," Tea smiled. For once, she smiled at my face. It was the first time after hours that she expressed a brighter face. She said… something a lot more relief.

She must be… thinking I'm a good person. I suppose… yet… What else can I do? What other options? I suppose… It's best to not talk… at least… until I'm ready.

"No problem."

Who am I…? What am I entirely to Yugi's friends? Am I really one of his friends? Could I really be although it's me that harmed him? What am I… and what sort of man am I? Who am I back then? What did I do back then 5,000 years ago? Who am I… I wouldn't know.

Whatever I did before the time, I didn't know… or at least… I can't recall. I can't remember about my days as the thief king… The man that I once was before was all just in the past, wasn't it? It's just in the past, that's all there is to it! There is nothing else but that! I am no murderer! I'm no criminal nor a thief! I'm not… a thief!

Who am I? I pondered sadly. Why must… I be such a…? I'm just a plain fool…! "…"

Tea smiled a little. Tristan and Joey… smiled as well… yet… They frowned at Yugi's cubicle. Then they said together…

"Well, see you."

I smiled in return. Such a dumb ass I am… "Bye then."

Tristan… Joey… and Tea… left for the hospital… leaving me alone in the waiting room. I watched them walked out the door… giving a sad look… before exiting. They departed and I was by myself. I waited silently… and waited until the day was noon. People were walking and passing by, visiting patients and some talking once another. Some of them were coming and going… others were just waiting and then… left… Some of them passed me, others were looking in my direction. Yet… Yugi was still under a recovery.

I checked and waited… and waited as the sun heads to sunset… until the night time arrives. The following night time… Yugi went off to the incubator afterwards… and said nothing still. He remained in his room the following after. I watched and waited quietly until the day was morning again. After that, I sat in silence, not saying a word. He remained in the hospital, and still… didn't awake. He didn't awake and I feel so… maybe a little depressed. I wasn't sure what happened further when he got taken to the E.R..

I didn't… bother about others that passed by me. I didn't want to talk at all. Nobody looked at me for the rest of the minutes… and throughout the hours. He didn't reply or laugh just like he used to… Yugi… but only remained still. He used to talk, used to say nice things. He used to be on his feet, being so chipper with his friends. Now he's in a limbo between life… or death… and still stayed. He remained… and said nothing.

He was forever detained, staying in. He remained… only in his cubicle… and no one didn't come back. He was forever closed ward and remained to be in insolation. He stayed… and stayed… until the following that his friends visit him once more. The others still didn't come yet, but stayed only afar. He was only trying to be a good friend and now… he's remaining in a… place that might end his life. It's always my fault and remained my fault. It would always remain to be my fault.

Who am I… What am I? What could be Yugi's fate as the hours go? Who am I to him after some days? What is the consequence that he'll be dead? What if he dies… or worse… be in a coffin? If he remains dead, I'll be… in deep water. I'll be in hell and forever… Forever gone from everyone.

Why am I…? I said to myself. Who am I? I'm just… a… "…"

I looked left to right. I drummed my fingers against my leg. What's taking so long? Why is it… taking more time? "It's all my fault…" I muttered under my breath. Who am I? What am I? It's all… my fault. I'm the… the doofus that… harmed… Yugi Moto… Why am I such a…? Who am I…? What am I exactly… to do in this hospital? "If only…"

The doctor tapped… on my shoulder after hours later. I waited and then… I looked at him. The doctor said that he wants me to stop staying in the waiting room. He told off to me that I shouldn't keep staying after some days. He suggested that I should go home. I avoid the words, but nodded all the same. I couldn't bear to stand it anymore. I couldn't stay for him even if I will myself to. I don't… know anymore if Yugi will ever be around ever again.

He will always forever be stuck in captivity. He will remain to be the friend that got in trouble… and will always be remembered if he had a funeral. He remains to be the friend that will always be in memories. The memories of our time together… and the times we shared one another. He will remain to be remembered for all he did and everything he was. If only I didn't hurt him… If only he didn't actually got… his fate… If only I knew what will become of Yugi Moto.

If only I knew what will be his outcome in the hospital. If only… I knew if I'll ever hear his voice… or his ways that he wants to go through an adventure… or go to an arcade… like he always wants. Who am I? What am I to do with anything? If he's gone, I guess there will be no more of going places that he wished. There will be no more of his face or his happiness. If he's… deceased, I guess there's no point in trying to forget him. He will just be… a memory.

He's just a boy that we once knew… like the time in Domino High School… The day I first met him when I transfer… The day when I actually spend all my time with him… The trouble… The dangers we faced… and the times of our lives. He will always be a memory… and always will be our friend. He will be remembered as the boy that got friends. He has to… make it.

He has to make it, I just want him to make it. He needs his friends by his side. He needs his friends to always watch over him. No matter what, no matter how bad. We're still his friends. We'll always be on each other's back. He's our friend… Please… Please don't…

I looked at his face… the doctor's.

What happened… to him? Did I…? Am I going to… see him? "I didn't… mean to…" I muttered softly. Why…? I thought miserably. For who…?

The doctor… said nothing but only gazed at my eyes. He shook his head at me saying I shouldn't stay longer. He wanted me to leave and go home. He wanted Yugi to be… on hold until next week. I shook my head, tearing angrily. I wish not to leave him like that. Why should I leave? How can the doctor tell me what I should do?

How can the doctor tell me to go home? I don't wish to! I don't want to leave Yugi… just like them! How can I live myself to think of just letting him be like this state?! I don't want to leave! I don't care about his telling at all! Why in the world should I leave him?! I don't want to ever!

Why should he say a word that I should let this be?! I want to know if Yugi will ever come out! I don't want to leave him, staying in bed! Why should I anyway?! I don't like leaving! I hate to leave him like that after everything! I just want him… okay! I just can't live my life without seeing him!

I don't want to say goodbye! How can I let this be?! How can I let them take him away? I got to do something! I had to know if he'll live! He has to live! He has to actually live! Why won't he actually say anything?!

Just say something! Just tell me that I'm an idiot! Why aren't you…?! I raced to his room, shaking him against the bed in tears. Say something… Say something, Yugi! Why won't you talk? Snap out of it! Help… Help me!

Help me, Yugi! Please…! I shook him angrily. Please answer my talk!

"Err…"

What… is this? Is that… Does that mean…? Is he…? I backed away. What is this… exactly that he…? I shook my head… very quickly. I couldn't… believe it! He must be…!

Am I… dreaming…? I can't believe it! I just don't believe it! Yugi is alive! Yugi survived! That means…! He's okay! He's alright!

I don't… know what to say. He actually pulls through like what they said. If only he tells me… If only he tells me if he's going to speak. Maybe his friends will be pleased that he is alive. What should I say? Should I tell them about him? Yet… I wonder…

Who… am I to him? Who…? Could it be…? Is that… a…?

"Where… am I?" Yugi sat upward, mumbling softly. He looked quickly at the air before looking into my gaze. He made a coughing sound. He started speaking… yet in a raspy tone. His tone was not… what I expected.

He made a raspy coughing… as he got himself up against the bed. He couldn't remove the tube from his mouth. He stared all around, looking left and right. He rasped for two seconds before clearing his throat. He began speaking… that he wanted to get some water. He needed to fix his throat from being dry. He said he wanted to drink some water. He wanted to repair his voice.

He then choked he wanted to know where he is. He asked the doctor why he's here. The doctor explained that he had a call from me saying that I actually saved him. He didn't know the whole story, yet he wanted to help. For now, he said that he wanted for Yugi to stay in bed until he recovers. He then said be lucky that you're okay. Be lucky that the man actually save your life. Yet… Make sure you actually stay for now.

I muttered under my breath. I couldn't be more happier that he's alright. As long as he's okay, at least he still had another chance. He must be wondering something… but where should I start? Should I start telling him the truth?

"Oh. Where am I?"

What am I…Who… Is he talking to? Who…? Could he…? Is he…? Are you… alright?

What is wrong? What's wrong with him? Why does he get that way? Is he acting well? Why won't he say anything? Does he realize where he is? I just don't know why he's being that way… yet I could tell that he won't act the same. The doctor… said he's still traumatized.

Could this mean… that he might not act the way he used to? If that's the case, then just what should I do? What can I do… for him? If he remains in that state, I might as well be careful. I had to be precautious around him. What if he won't be the way he is? Can he really… be traumatized? Can he really be not the same?

Can he really be not himself? What am I to tell them? What about the others? What about his friends? Can they say he's going to be okay after seeing him? What are they exactly for him? Who is he if he's that way? What are you entirely, Yugi?

Who are you… around everyone? How could you be this way… around your friends? Who are you around everyone, Yugi? What are you exactly? What am I going to do with you? Who are you now? Ever since days ago, he wasn't being himself. He was a little fine at first, but then… after what I've (at least, what the man did to me), from what I've done, it was not the same.

Ever since then, I wasn't sure what Yugi is. What is he? What will I expect him to say to me? What shall I do? What can I do? What am I? What are you now to me? Who… exactly… are you now that you got hospitalized?

Since he actually got in as a patient, I might as well take caution. I got to be careful about him. He might act unwell for his own good. He might act… unwell comparing to last time. If I was to talk to him, I had to make sure I don't harass him. I got to be slow and steady. I got to take it easy for him. The doctor told me so.

Slowly… talk. I should slowly talk a little… like the doctor advised. "You're…" What's wrong with him? Should I ask? But… What if it harassed him? What if it harms him? What if he… gets a little nuts? Who am I? What am I… to Yugi Moto…? I slowly replied. "You're in a hospital."

How could I be… so stupid for my ways? How could I be such a doofus? Am I so dumb around him? Maybe he thinks I'm just nothing to him. Maybe he thinks I'm just a doofus to his face. I'm no good to him. I'm nothing to him. Maybe… He thinks I'm nothing to him in life after what I've done.

I should be ashamed for my actions. I should be precaution around his attitude. He shouldn't deserve to be harassed around me. If I harassed him, I'll be told to get out. They might tell me I shouldn't have. I don't want to get kicked. I should… at least be a little off side… for now. I got to … be a little helpful.

Should I talk? But what…? What should I do? Yet… Is he? Maybe I should take it in. "In a hospital…?" he responded. He stood up. Who… Why is he…? He choked, "I need…"

What should I do… What am I? Who am I? Why do I… ask? What am to him just as I thought? Is he… ever be the same? What is he entirely when he gets released from the clinic? What will he tell them? What would he tell to his friends?

Am I… going to get in a fight with them? What if they… actually kill me? Would they hurt me… just like I hurt their friend? What if they harmed me? What if I'll be sent off to the graveyard? It'll be worse than usual… worse than anything. It'll be worse than actually doing something other than duel monsters… What sort of person I am? Who am I?

Maybe they'll send me away… and take me somewhere that will distance me from Yugi. Maybe they'll take me to some uncharted territory and leave me abandoned. What if they never want me to return? What if they never want to see my face or anything about me again? Maybe they'll always hate me… forever and ever. I guess I shouldn't think about that for a while. Maybe I won't have such thing. Maybe not.

I guess… I may not be having that. Besides… It's just a visit to the doctor's. I guess I didn't have to actually worry. Anyways… The least I can do is to follow what he says. He might act unwell for now, but maybe he'll live more than he can have. Maybe he'll be better. He might recover much sooner. Hopefully…

What could he want? What does he want? Could he ask for help? Would he want to actually just speak for now? Would he want to talk… maybe for me? Yet… Am I… supposed to? I guess… I should try… Maybe…

I cleared my throat. I then began, "Wait. Don't get up." What's wrong with him? Why don't you say something? Are you okay? Just tell me. Please.

The doctor… spoke a little in warning to not harass Yugi. I should… take his words into account. I shouldn't harass him at all… I got to make sure that he is well. If he started to act off, I had to keep myself apart from him at all costs. I had to make sure to actually have him not lose his head off. If he does, then I can't do anything. I got to keep steady… or else I might get thrown out. I can't do that… I mustn't.

Okay, take small steps slowly… Make no sudden actions that will get me out of his room. If I do, I'll never see Yugi ever again by the doctor's orders. If he acts off, I might lose the fact to ever visit him at times. I must be aware of it. I need to tread on, yet at ease. Slowly talk… then… start finding what he says. Careful… slowly…

Slowly, I approached the boy in bed. I took one pace. I inched a little more… until… I was close. I carefully brought my mouth to open. I suck in some breath. Breathe in… exhale… then… start the talk. Okay… Just talk to Yugi… Don't… hold back and be scared.

Yugi… turned to my direction. His eyes were blankly transfixed. The way he stares into my face… didn't seem okay. He didn't want to actually say a word… at first… but then… He couldn't stay calm. He got jumpy and startled. When he tried talking, he wasn't expecting my presence. He didn't know that I was around.

He tried to calm down from the doctor. He couldn't seem to relax from me… The doctor said he can't keep him at low. He can't seem to actually keep him in control. The doctor… wonders why Yugi is being less himself… before he was in hospitality. He rest assured to him to relax and keeping check that I caused no harm or injury. At least… until I explain enough. I got to tell… sooner or later.

Although… I can't… stand the way he is. I can't stand one bit the way he is. Why… Why do I get the feeling that there's a lie? Why does he lie? Why is he lying to me?

"Why…?" Yugi looked, twisting around his neck. He coughed, "Where are my friends?"

"Um…" I wonder… if I'm still a friend other than them. Am I… not his friend? It must be… still… It must be still… my fault. It must be my fault. "Your… friends?" I slowly questioned.

It makes me wonder… whether he realized if I'm someone to him. Who am I… for him like I originally believed… Whoever I am to him from now on, I might as well accept it. I'll accept anything he is… whether he still wants to be a friend or maybe less… I'm not surprised. If he finds me a friend still, then I guess there's no shame in it. If not… I guess I'll take it in and walk far away as promise. I'll stay afar… but at least he can remain living his life.

He can actually stay in his life… all he wants. I just don't give a care as long as he actually is around. It doesn't matter to me. He can stay with his friends and the others. He doesn't need me at all. No matter what… I wouldn't have to bother with him anymore. I don't need him at all. Nothing matters.

Who am I… around at all? Am I… nothing to anyone? Maybe… I'm nothing… even to Yugi Moto… Nothing seems more to me… no matter what I do. He is just… a used to be… boy that I know.

"Am I…?" Yugi blankly says. What… is his problem?

What's wrong with him? Who is he now? What's his problem around being in the hospital? It's not a bad place, isn't it? It's not terrible… Hospitals are for helping, aren't they? It's nothing that much and yet, why does he get that way? Who is he entirely? What is he fussing about the hospital?

Nothing is going to harm him. At least… I thought… so… and yet… I'm not sure why he's being that way with his behavior. If only… I knew what he's… acting off for. If he actually acts unwell, then he needs to get medical service. He needs help. He really needs to act better than that. If he acts unwell, things might turn out for him… maybe in a bad way.

He can't just act nutty forever. He needs to snap out of it. He can't will himself to act transfixed. What's in his mind? What's within Yugi's mind? Is he going to act less well than before? Why does he act very badly? He needs all he can get for assistance.

If I were him, he better stop. He needs to learn when to take it easy. He needs medical attention every day. Every day… for his life. Maybe his grandfather will actually aid him for the rest of his life. Maybe his mom could give more attention as well. It could be that way for him. That is… if he continues being… so unwell…

He shook his head… too rapidly. What is he? "No… Get away from me." He spoke darkly.

What…? Why… are you being a…? What is your problem? Just relax… Yugi! He turned away, avoiding my way. I frowned back. What's wrong with him? I attempted myself to get closer again, but Yugi turned once more. Why are you…? He then flinched away, shaking his head. It only made me growl at his attitude. Who… Who am I? Why are you…? What is…? What's your problem?

The doctor… asked what his problem is. Yugi didn't say a word, but kept his mouth closed. He refused himself to talk to the doctor. The doctor questioned for six minutes, asking why his behavior is like that around me. When he didn't say anything, the doctor cornered a little. He said that I should explain why his actions are now that way at me. He said whatever got his attitude to be in that physical state, he can't let me stay. I refused to talk to him about it and yet, I only told I found him like that with severe cuts and wounds.

For the doctor, it wasn't enough. My story was too unclear to his ears. He hated what I said, but told me to move aside to check him out. He didn't reply afterwards, but only check his oxygen tank beside him. He said that I shouldn't hurt him, no matter what his condition is currently. And so… He fixed his tank carefully, writing his behavior as he recorded him for five to ten minutes. He asked quietly why he can't recall his injury and cause.

As he sat there, he couldn't say another word… and the doctor went away. After minutes he only spoke to the nurse about his ways. The nurse gave him an orange and a carton of milk to drink before leaving me and Yugi alone in the cubicle. He said he'll leave me be and find out his test results. When he left, he couldn't speak to me… Yugi… and he continued eating the orange hungrily. He asked slowly… after some silence. He asked slowly… yet… It wasn't the end…

As he sat, he couldn't raise his arm on the bed to look closer to my face. He rather not asks why, but he couldn't speak at all. He rather not ask at first, but… He didn't end it that easily. He wondered where his friends went off to, but when I was about to tell, he turned away from looking at me… and didn't question further. He refused to keep eye contact for one… two… three… four… days. Then… On the fifth day…

He decided to talk… and yet… He didn't sound well… like before. He rather talk to his friends than me. But then… He rather stay away from me… far off… just as he wished. But then… He one day spoke he rather not say another word to me. On the sixth… He then said deadly… and yet, he didn't want to hear another excuse. He then replied that he couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't take another day… about me.

The following sixth day… He was tired… and very upset.

"Why…?" I argued. I couldn't stand it as well. He was getting on my nerves. I yelled at him and ignore the other passerby's. "Aren't I…?" I began.

I couldn't… listen anymore. It was the worst thing I ever faced. Yugi continued to argue as he stayed in bed. He couldn't continue the way things go. But then… He said he can't will himself at all with my talk. He refused and refused… and never bothers. He then yelled… and complained to the nurse that he wanted to just move to another cubicle… and so… He went to another… and another… until…

One day… He couldn't move into another because of his harassment. He then harasses the nurse… the doctor… and the other patients near his cubicle. He then shout angrily that he wanted to get away from me. He then said he quits on talking… and so… He was moved further into an infirmary. He went off farther… and father away… until… He was by himself. He ends up in the far cubicle where no one can hear him.

He whined he can't stand it, but the nurse enforced it. The doctor said he was a total harassment to others… which is why he moved in the far back. When he tried to make another excuse, the doctor moved away… and replaced. It was only the nurse… a new doctor… and me alone. When the new doctor talked, he didn't know him at first… but he said he was new at it. The next few days, Yugi didn't want to care about me. He can't stand my argument anymore. He then said negatively at me that he hates me… which turn out for the worse.

He then spoke angrily on the fourth week later… refusing to say another… word and another… until… He couldn't stop… screaming in the infirmary. He then rasped at me that I was horrible. He didn't want to care at all. He blamed me and hated me for bringing him to the hospital… and he… never wanted to try saying anything at me. He spoke hollow and… the situation got uglier. It became uglier… and the worst several times I ever had. He didn't say another word after two weeks and then he said… the following…

He spoke very darkly like the first week. He didn't care… at all to anyone or anybody… not even to his friends. When the others came as promise… They said that they couldn't believe why he hides the truth around them. Then… He said… The following after their visit… He began to give in... and started to… reply…

"No. You're not." He bit his lip. It was… dark and serious.

The following after…

The doctor… that replaced the old… said he couldn't talk anymore. He toned that he couldn't stay with Yugi anymore… due to the fact of his behavior around him. When he demanded to know why I was here for fifteen minutes, he ends up arguing. He didn't like the harassment just like the previous doctor. The nurses cried hysterically afterwards because of Yugi's scream at her. So… They tried to find a replacement. They couldn't find the right doctor and nurse for him until… A police decided to see about Yugi's harassment.

The police… said he wanted to know why Yugi is abusing the doctors and nurses. And so… He couldn't stay in infirmary at all. He couldn't stay any longer and the cop told him to be trapped in a darker cubicle… where no one can get hurt by Yugi's harassment. The cop instructed that he can't stay with other patients and can't will to be having a doctor or… a nurse. So… Yugi remained having no doctor… no nurse… only just the police. I… couldn't stay as well. The police barked that Yugi shouldn't have cause problems to the doctors and nurses, which is why he remained. He couldn't get out until he explained why he harms the hospital.

The other cops said that he couldn't stay in forever. He has to leave soon within two weeks or else… He could end up being in a closed ward… a darker room with blank walls. Yugi said he can't risk himself to go there and complained. Yet… He can't do anything about it. And so… He can't stay in the hospital and has to wait for his release. For now… He stayed… until he recovers his mental state. He can't stay if he gets better and yet…

They need to monitor his ways and behavior. So the cop claimed he can't at this time. He can't stay around the hospital or… come back if ever something else happens to him. The police said they don't care what he says. He has to remain until further instructions. And yet… He can't remain being a patient. They made sure that he doesn't. They added that they can't do anything about it.

So… Yugi got into trouble. He couldn't talk with other patients nor… anyone… just me and his friends. They said that they don't want him to hurt others. So… He got into a darker cubicle and stayed… for two weeks. His behavior got worse for everyone… including… me. He began screaming… at others… even me. He began feeling less… and less… himself. He stayed in a closed ward and stayed away from others.

One day…

He finally gave out the following words…

"I don't want you… at all!" He yelled at me… in the ears.

Why… Are you… such a…?! I couldn't take it anymore… He blows his final straw at me. Who…? Why…! Why are you… being a…! I argued, "I don't understand." It was firm and yet… sour with hatred. I couldn't stand the way he is after five weeks later.

…Why is he arguing with me? How can he be such a pain to me?! Why won't he… stop acting more mental-ish! He won't listen to me! Why won't he listen?! Why won't he ever stop… Stop hurting me! Stop hurting me! Stop!

Why won't he stop being that way?! Stop hurting, Yugi! Stop being… stop! I struggled through his ways for two months, but… I couldn't control my ways at all myself. Why does he do that? Stop! Stop…!

He can't stay like that all his life! Why doesn't he stop?! Why won't he… just stop! JUST STOP! JUST… STOP! JUST… QUIT…! YOU ARE… SO… WHY DON'T YOU… STOP…!

He's losing his mind… I don't know what to do… Why won't he just… quit like I said? He just… kept doing it… over and over… I just don't know whether I should go… or… even try to stay longer for him. I just wish I could… do something with his mental state. Why doesn't he stop? Why doesn't he quit his actions at me?

He's annoying me… and I… Don't want to do anything at all…! I just wish he quits! Why does he get that way at me…! It's just… annoying to me for two months… I'm just… tired of him getting that way and I wish he just… Why won't you quit?! PLEASE… STOP!

I couldn't take it… and I felt like my patience was getting thinner… I just wish he stop… Why won't he stop?!

He began… and finally… spills the truth. "You're not my friend."

Yugi… shouted the words repeatedly in my ears. He began slapping his hands and arms uncontrollably at my face. I couldn't… take further of his behavior anymore. The way he screamed didn't help me… or the police. The police demanded him to reveal the truth after the new doctor wanted him to admit the reason out of him. He then tried to enforce him to talk, but Yugi… refused… and refused. The new doctor asked for his friends' help, but… to no avail. He tried asking others to pin him down… and Yugi yelled and struggled.

When… I tried… Yugi screamed louder as he waves unconditionally… in almost out of line. I couldn't sustain my promise anymore from the previous doctor. It was worse and worst… experience I ever landed myself in. I couldn't speak another try… even if I wished. All I know… is that… my state of being nicer lowered after two months. I almost felt like that I lost my head as well. His screaming made me lost my mind entirely. If only he stop… make him stop... He's driving me nuts… He's just… getting… on my nerves and I… can't…

Why doesn't he… quit?! Why won't he stop? Doesn't he… realize that he's hurting everyone? Why doesn't he quit? Just stop… Please stop… Why won't you listen? Why doesn't he listen?! He can't do this to me… forever!

Just stop… Please stop…! If only he just be less… less a pain in my face…! Why doesn't he? Why won't he… Just stop! Just quit…! He just… keeps… annoying me… Just stop…! PLEASE STOP!

I couldn't bear it at all… Everything about him… made me feel angry… Way too angry. He just… doesn't learn at all…! I spat, "Why?!" Who am I? What am I! What am I?! What are you… to me?! What… What's your problem?! Who are you… exactly?! You're… being such a…!

Why… Oh why… does he get that way…! Why in the world does he…?! He just didn't listen at all…! He's just… an annoying…! He won't stop at all…! Why won't he…? He's getting on my nerves now…! Why doesn't he stop…?

He won't stop… even for them. He just gets so… annoying for two weeks and more…! I just can't stand it at all…! I just want him to stop…! Make him stop…! Make it stop…! STOP! STOP… JUST SHUT… THE HELL UP…!

He won't quit…! He won't shut his mouth…! Why won't he stop…? Doesn't he know… he's hurting others…? Why won't you stop…?! Make it stop…! Stop…! Make it stop…!

Stop… quit talking… You are… so annoying to me…! I… hated this boy hurting my… ways for a few days…! I just wish you hurt him…! Let me be the one to hurt him…! Why don't you stop?! Stop…! Make it stop…!

I just… wish… you stop…! Let me harm him…! He's so annoying… Just quit talking to him and kill him…! I want him dead…! I want him dead… I want him gone…! Just let me… HURT HIM…!

I wanted to shout… I wanted to scream… I just wish… he quits now…! I shouted at him… "I didn't mean it!"

Leave me alone… Just leave me alone…! I just want to… Please… someone help me! Somebody please… Why won't he stop? I can't… stand it any longer… Why won't he stop?! He just continues to be an annoying pest…! Just please… Please make him stop…!

I just want him to die… Let me kill him…! I just… wish you stop…! Make him stop…! I just wish to hurt him! Just… make him stop. I just wish… he dies… for your sake. Just shut him up!

Please… Let me be alone with him! I just wanted him to know the truth! Why don't you stop?! Just stop…! Let me, please…! Please let me. Please let me… Let me talk with him.

I just wish… You learn to actually harm him like I said. Just harm him… He's nothing…! He's just a dumb boy…! Just kill him… He's nothing… like I said. Just dispose him… I hate that boy you're talking to…!

I just… wanted to tell him the truth. Please… Don't harm him. Don't…! I wish you let me talk to him. Please! Please don't…! I just… don't want… to…

I couldn't take it anymore… everything to do with him… and Yugi… I can't exactly do anything about it… Get away… Go away! Just… Go away… How could you…! Let me… You are… You're being… a complete… shit to my face! I just… wish… yet… How… How could you! You're a complete…! I pleaded, "Look, I'm sorry…!"

Just get rid of him…! I don't want him…! I hate him…! I can't stand him… Why is he exactly mad? Why are you caring…? He's just nothing! I want him dead…!

I just… wish I can help him. Just let me help him… please… I can't. I can't kill him… I wish I just wanted to… help him… just please…! I didn't mean it…! I just wish… I can help him. Let me help him… Just let me…!

I couldn't stop him… even if I tried. I can't will myself… I can't… no matter what. I can't…! I cried, "I don't want to hear your apology!"

Let me hurt him…! Let me harm him. I just think… you're in my way! I just hate you…! I just want you… to hurt him…! Just leave me alone. Let me hurt him. Leave me…!

…I can't… Help me… Please help me…! Somebody help me… I didn't mean it… Yugi… Please stop him! I just wish… he help me. Yugi… help me! Help me please! Please…!

I yelled… and screamed… I couldn't… help myself… no matter what I do. I struggled… and squirmed… Get away from me…! I don't need you! You're a complete… and total…!

You bastard… pathetic shit boy! How could you!

Yugi… screamed… as well. He yelled… "Get away from me!"

I wish… I could stop him. I wish nothing about the man who wanted to hurt him. I just wish that he didn't harm me… as well… He just continued… and continued to talk in my ears. I just wish he stop talking. And yet… He's can't. He couldn't… stop. I just screamed and screamed into insanity.

I couldn't… stop him at all. He continued to scream that I couldn't. I just wish that he… Stop telling me. He just didn't though… and not quit while I still detain me. I attacked… on Yugi. I almost… didn't… stop myself when he screamed about some… weapon in my hand. He cried he wanted to call for help. And yet…

He couldn't… and he screamed… that he wanted somebody. He wanted to call for someone… anyone… to take me out. He yelled go away to me… and the cops ran faster… and then… He ran out of his bed… and ran for safety. He ran… as he got chased… and the moment… He got in a corner… the cops… strangled me to silence. He barricaded me get away… and ran to get someone to stop. Yugi… sob and ran away… and screamed he wanted his friends.

He shakily claimed that I was… going to attack. When I… stopped… because of the man… He decided to whisper… that I should hold back. He then cried… and cried that he wanted help… and the cops enforced me… to detain from seeing Yugi. Then… one week… later… Solomon Moto appeared after one week later… just as he oath. He said… the following… and muttered… yet cautiously… He spoke…

I couldn't tell him. I couldn't tell him that I almost hurt him. I began… to explain… "I…"

Stop talking to him… I just wish you stop talking. Don't talk to him. I just wish… you stop. Just stop speaking to the man. I just wish you stop…! Obey me… Obey my orders. Listen to me… Obey. Listen to my command.

Leave me alone… I just wish… I wanted him to know the truth about you. Just let me… I didn't mean to hurt him. I just wish you let me help Yugi. Just quit… please stop. I just don't… I couldn't… I can't… please…

Stop listening… I don't want you. I hated you… for disobedience. You're lacking… and lacking… for me. You are no good. You're nothing! Nothing! Just shut up…

I didn't… mean to…

I looked… to the sides. He couldn't stop… controlling me. He was… still… listening… and tried… all he wants. And yet… he didn't… stop me from using… my body… for attacking the boy… I almost harm him… and then… I cornered Yugi again. Yugi almost got harmed… when… the police caught me… and then… They strangled me again. They said… they never… wanted me to talk to him again.

The cops… told me to leave immediately. He said I crossed the line… I then begged and plead… that I didn't mean it. I then cried and begged more that I didn't mean to over and over… but… the cops ordered that I had to leave. I couldn't stand it at all. And yet… I couldn't stay. I can't… even if I want to. I just can't… and they told me to leave. So…

I departed and left the room. But then… something comes out… It was Solomon… Yugi's grandfather… He said… the following… that I shouldn't… attack Yugi. And yet… I couldn't… even if I wanted to. I argued and argued… until… I couldn't stay anymore. So… I screamed at him… and even to Yugi. I couldn't stay anymore… I got mad and upset.

I never… want to… Talk… ever… again! Why… does he… have to… be such a… total…! I started… yelling… and arguing… "I never…"

Yugi… suddenly shout… that never he wanted… to see me again. Then… he made an excuse… to call the cop to get rid of me. I never talked again.

I yelled. I screamed… and retorted…"I want my friends! Get away from me!" I struggled against the cops' restrain. But then… I yelled… and gave up. I retorted again… and replied with surrender, "Fine… I'll leave you."

I… stormed out, not caring about others. I didn't care who actually saw me stormed away from Yugi's cubicle. I… can't believe any of them. Yugi is such a doofus for thinking that I would… harm him. All I said was that I didn't mean it. He didn't take it in easily. And yet… I should have control myself before they told me to get… kicked out. He should have… listened while I was still trying to explain… and yet… I end up getting told off.

Well… fine! Fine by me! I don't care…! Nothing matters. Nothing! He doesn't give a care about me! He doesn't want me at all. Well, I can take the hint.

Forget… you, Yugi Moto… and everyone else! Never mind! Why should I give a care?! Who gives a crap! I don't need them… no one! I don't care! Never mind… about everyone… or anybody! I just don't want to bother anymore!

They can be together without me. They don't need me… then shit them! Whatever! I rather not bother at all. Maybe… they rather care about each other… than me. Fine, I get it! Whatever to their friendship! Whatever to their happiness!

Whatever to everyone! I don't want to ever bother ever again! Why should I care? Why should I bother? They can be together all they want… I must be… a total stranger. So… What am I to do? Who am I to them?! Nothing… at all about me then!

I sighed. I mumbled… "I'm so…"

I… don't want to care. It never matters. Who would I care? Who would I bother? What shall I do? What am I? I just… didn't mean to actually cause a problem… yet… Who am I? What am I entirely?

What's wrong with me? Who am I… even for others? And yet… in the end, nobody pays attention to me. Who am I around them? Who am I… even for Yugi… his grandfather… his mother… and his friends… Can I be able to be with them any longer? Can I be able to stay as a friend? Why can't I?

Why can't I be? Yet… Why can't I… be their friend? Am I really…? Who are you… to yourself? Who are you… for them? Why do you… say anything? I don't know who to… talk to. Bakura is gone… others departed from me… so where am I…? Where am I to go?

Where else to go? Where else? But where? Who are you? Why… Who are you? What are you entirely? What are you for your ways? Who are you…?

And yet… Who am I? I… am… so ashamed. I'm ashamed… of myself. Who am I… to Yugi… or even them… yet… I can't… stay with them. They hate me. They hated me. Why should I bother? Nothing matters…

I growled under my breath. Who… am… I…? What is… Who am I?! What am I! Yugi… you are… You're a complete… and utter… betrayer! I shouted out loud, closing my eyes. "Who are you?!"

Nothing matters… no one is my friend. Nobody is. No one! I don't care! I don't give a crap! They can stay huddle together all they want… without me! I don't care about anyone anymore! Who gives a damn shit!

I don't care who they are or anything they said! I don't care who they want or who they… want at all! Nothing! I don't care… about their stupid lives! Who cares! I don't need them! Whatever… to them! Whatever… to everything!

Why would I care?! Yugi… Tea… Tristan… and Joey… everyone… I hate you! I hate you from the start! I hate all of you for everything! Everything about you guys is horrible to my life! Why do I…?! Forget it.

Never mind… Nothing… Nothing at all matters. Nobody's my friend. No one… Why should I care… about anything at all? Who am I…? What am I? Everything just completely fall apart… nothing matters… at all…

I guess… nothing seems to be the same. Before, it was fine. Now… Everything I once had is gone… everyone… Everybody hates me. No one cares… about… me. Nothing matters to them… nothing! I don't care… about anyone… or anybody. Why… am I…? Maybe… I should…

I then opened my eyes. I noticed… a person passing by. "Um…"

I growled. What's with this person? Who are you? What are you looking at?! It's… none of your concern… "Look…" I began with a frown. Who… are you…? Why you… Son of a… But just as I was going to retort again, the person quickly got startled, running away fast. I shook my head. Never mind. I went to the main desk. "Did you…?" I shot out. I looked at the person who went away. The person mumbled from afar to her friend, pointing at me. What is she… who are…? I then shook my head, stomping away in the opposite direction, saying absentmindedly… "Never mind."

I… couldn't stay for long. I couldn't will myself even if I tried. Sometimes… I wish I could have a better life. Sometimes I wish I can. Other times… I wish I can take it all back. Why can't I…? Why?! Why is it… that I had to… be with…?! With them?!

Sometimes… I wish I had another chance. That's all I ask! That's all I want! A new life… a better life! I wish I can turn back to the beginning and just… start… over… If only I can… I just wish I can go away… like I wish… just like I wanted to… and yet… Who am I? What am I? Nothing is right to me!

I fisted against the wall… letting others see me. Whatever… It doesn't matter. I then mumbled, "What have I done?"

I guess… it's the end. It's the end of everything. Everything. Everyone… to do with… being friends. So this is how it is. So this is what happens when I'm choosing to be friends. Everything I know is gone… all of it… gone. I never… meant to harm others.

I never meant to carry it away like that. It all seems to break. Everything falls apart. Nothing of it matters. Nothing made sense to me… Who am I… What am I? What's… my life now? Where am I… to go for friends?

Where… am I to go with anyone? I'm just… a boy that had no friends. I'm a boy that had nothing! I have no friends anymore…! I'm just… so miserable… and so… depressed. Nothing… at all…! Nothing… for me… anymore… I guess… nothing is all that's left…

Just leave… leave me… all of you. I'm nothing… nothing to anyone. I'm no use… for anyone. I am nothing. No one. Nobody… Everyone… is no one. Everybody…

I guess nothing is what I am. This is finally the end. I am all alone. Nobody to anyone. I guess nothing seems alright. Everyone… abandoned me. Everyone is slipped away from me. I guess… I only… have…

I turned… and noticed another that stared. It didn't make it any brighter. I fisted against my palm. Go away… Get away from me. She spoke… "Talk to me… Who are you?"

"…"

Who are you…? What are you…? I'm just… moping in misery… Who are you though? Whoever you are… you are… in my way. Just go away. Get away. I don't need you.

I… gazed at the woman with a frown. She couldn't tell what I'm thinking. She must be… a person that was just passing in the hospital. She must be someone for somebody… Who is she? What is she? Why are you…? Get away from me…

She can't seem to hear my thoughts. Who is she…? What does she want? Why does she bother? Is she… one of the nurses? And yet… Who is she… telling me… to talk? Who is she… exactly? She needs to stop… and start… leaving… me alone.

Yet… Why does she… say anything? Who is she to me? What is she? Who do you think you are? What are you… a nurse… or a doctor? Who are you… for asking? Who are you around me? What are you?

Whoever she is… She shouldn't poke into my business. None of her concern. Nothing at all. Who is she…? What is she… to me? Whoever she is… She should have bothered someone other than me… at least, someone else. Maybe… I should…

I changed my mind. Whoever she is… I rather never say a word. "Never mind. I need to go."

I… walked away, passing and avoiding any further stares. The nurse… or doctor… didn't bother as I turned away from her. I couldn't say another word or to argue again. I simply… walked and… carried away from my thoughts. I didn't… want others watching me or spotting me. Nothing about them is… meaning anything to me. Everyone was watching… staring in my direction. Everyone is focusing on me with their eyes.

I just wish they turned and didn't… notice me. If only I just… didn't come to this hospital. People are just annoying and so… ridiculous. I just want to… leave. I can't stand any of them at all! Who gives a shit about anyone. I don't need anyone. No nurse… or doctor… or even… them.

I just hated everyone around me. Everyone is just a load of… shit faces… Everyone is such a shit to me! I don't care… about anyone that's looking! I don't care who sees or who watches! I just hate you… all of you! I just wish no more… with anyone! Whatever to them… or my used to be friends! I guess… I wanted…

I guess I couldn't take it at all. Everyone deserted me… forever. No one likes me. Nobody likes me at all. Everyone put me down… Everyone turned their back on me. Everyone is now in the past. Everyone is just memories… of what I used to have.

I can't go back or change anything. I'm just… too late. I can't do anything… so what am I…? Who am I to them again? Who am I for anyone? What am I to them now that he's in closed wards? I can't change it… I can't do anything at all with… Who am I? What's wrong with me?

I just… hate… them! I stomped my foot. Fine. I'll never… see you… at all. "See you," I flatly gave… to others. I exited out. I don't give a shit. Damn you!

I ran… to the double doors as everyone watched. I couldn't tell whose watching or who examined. I just ran away… far away. The doctors… didn't mean a thing… or the nurses. They just… continued to mutter and whispers pass my way. They just… didn't notice. They couldn't say another… to others about me. They said they can't talk about me.

They advised to avoid the boy. They said… avoid the strange man. Avoid him for now. They can't do anything to me. They just think I've lost it. They think I've lost my mind. Maybe… they find me a loony. Never mind… to Yugi… or his friends.

Everything doesn't make sense. Nothing doesn't seem to fit. I just… can't seem to understand… anyone. Who could I… talk to? Who could talk with? I have no one. Nobody. I can't… talk with anyone.

I wish I actually just be in my home. I wish I'm just all alone… no one with me. I can't figure out the truth. I just… wish I knew who I am. Yet… what am I to do? I hate everyone. I hate everybody… all around me. Nobody wants to be with me.

I just… wish I can talk with someone. I wish I can actually find a person to be with… but who? Who am I to say that anyone could? I just want to… speak with somebody… yet… whose left? Who is left for me? Who am I… to anybody? Who am I… to…? And yet…

What's wrong with me? Who…? "What am I?"

It was then the doctor… of the closest… approaches towards me. He began with a cough, "Who are you?"

"…"

The doctor… that hold my shoulder that said those words…brought others to surround me. The nurses stared at me… and examined me carefully before approaching… towards me. The doctor said why am I alone at first… but then… He called to the cops. He then explained that he was away for two weeks because of Yugi. He then said he wanted me to speak. He asked who am I and… I got questioned by the cops. He then worded why didn't I go home like he told. He replied to me that I shouldn't stay… but now… he wanted the cops to call about me.

One cop spoke in lead that he can't let me be in the hospital three times… so… he ordered that he wanted the authorities. He reported I harassed Yugi for more than five weeks when I didn't… get sent home. He said I harassed him for his hospitality. And so… He wanted to take me to the facility for questions. He wanted to tell about what I said and… he wanted to take away my privileges. He said he can't withstand my refusals… and wanted me taken. He added he suspected about my behavior and he… wanted me for captive. The authorities interrogated afterwards after I explained my point of view… but they shook their head.

As a decision, they said… that my story wasn't clear. So… they decided they wanted to take… me away. I panicked and panicked in my heart… I couldn't prevent even if I tried… I can't spare myself even… no matter how hard. He then said sharply… which is one of the cops, gave out that I shouldn't run off that easily. He barked I can't do anything about it. The cop of another spoke he will take me in… and ask more questions… for investigation.

The cops, one by one… wanted a question or two at first. Afterwards… they confess to the doctor that they can't get it out of me. They asked why I can't answer. I refused for two minutes… and the cops got impatient. The cops got to a snarl after an hour… five hours… and until sundown. They then said to the doctor why I can't say a word. So… They surrounded scarily… and I got nervous. I said that I can't tell why… but the cops didn't take it to account.

The cops circled angrily and then… argued at my face. They said they can't stand denials and rejects from me. So… the cops got multiplied and circled to barricade. I grew nervous more and more and then… the cops assaulted at me. The cops handcuffed me behind my back… and told me to wait. But then… Someone told that I was the one that harass Yugi earlier. The nurses told as well about their side of the story. And so… by nightfall… I was taken to… the police station.

I argued… and said… the words. I screamed back, "Stay off!"

What must I do? What can I do? Yet… How can I escape? What am I to do? If only… I began to bit my lip, saying the first words… "I didn't…!"

I… almost admitted the truth to them… but… just as I was… I end up being shut up by a familiar person. It was… Solomon. Solomon started saying that I shouldn't have harassed Yugi. It was him that told the authorities to question me. He said he can't actually let me out until I explain myself for my ways. I then bit my bottom lip again. I then tried to hint it… only parts of the truth to him.

He then frowned as I told the story… but didn't ask further. When I told him why, Solomon directed the cops to let me out of the cell. He said he wants to speak to me for actually finding Yugi in cuts and wounds. He said he can't actually tell… me the truth. He said that Yugi isn't acting well for what I've done. He added he wanted me to be arrested for my harassment. He said that he didn't explain why so… and yet he still can't speak what's wrong. He said he wanted me to stop harming him so I can explain for my actions.

Yugi can't save me the second time if that happens again. He still… finds me a small… and yet a little friend. Still… He can't do that again to release me. Only… this one time. He said to explain who am I to actually hurt him. Why did I want to tell him something… is a mystery to him, but still he believes it. And yet… He worded he'll never want to speak for now. He is under questions to the cops as well.

He said he can't actually stay too and that he has to go home tomorrow at dawn. He explained he can't stay just like me. He actually harass too many patients… doctors… and nurses for five minutes… and two more hours. Solomon said he won't stay for long… until the police are finish with talking to him. He included that he can't come out if this continues with his abuse and… his bad ways. He can't stay… but he has to go get taken care of by his mom, his dad, and Solomon. He needs attention to his friends… as well as the others every day. He can't talk it out to them for some reason… and yet wanted me to tell the truth to everyone.

I couldn't speak… or make a response. Everything was not exactly lost then. I guess it's better to tell than to hide. Maybe… They'll never harm me or… go against me in any point. I guess… he might not blame me for doing so. Maybe, he might be apologizing as well. Maybe they…

What… Who are…you again? What… are you saying and… who are you for your ways? Just who do you think you are? I narrowed. Who are you… Are you ever… I gripped my fingers into my palm. …EVER… going to see what's wrong?! Why don't you… just…

I felt someone holding my shoulder… I turned around. I glance at the man. It was doctor… the same one that told me to go to prison… I couldn't help, but snarl. Not you again. Get away from me! "Did you…?" I sputtered angrily. Who are you…? What do you want from me?! Why don't you get away? Why don't you… get lost?! I swat the arm, not letting him talk. I spat, "I'm fine, doctor."

The doctor… frowned darkly. He then spoke he was more responsible for placing me for prison. He said he rather harm me for hurting a patient. Friend or not. Whether friend or enemy… I had no rights to harm a patient. I had no rights to made him lose his head. I… couldn't take it anymore. He explained that he will make sure that I will be dragged back to prison if I did that again.

He said that he wanted me to stop what I'm doing to patients… and so… He then replied that he never wanted me to come near the hospital… and forbid it. He added that I can't visit another patient like Yugi if I step in the hospital again. If I dare make one move… I will be sentenced under the court of law in trial. I will be sentenced by the judge. And so… He then warned if I tried that again, I will regret it. With that… he left… only… Solomon left… and me.

I sighed… heavily. Who am I? What am I to do… if I was sent in again? What am I… to the cops? At least… Solomon saved me… he saved me from the judge…

But then… someone was behind him as well. It was… his mother… Yugi's mother. "Hi."

"…"

I gave a forced smile at her. Solomon must have brought her as well. Something tells me that she wanted to see me too… yet… She said that she wanted to say hello to me after visiting Yugi in the cubicle. She added her apologies to her son that she sent me out from before. She then said that I could talk to Yugi if he was out of the hospitality. She then worded that she even… apologizes to Yugi… for not listening. She said that sometimes friends have problems… and it's not the first that Yugi got endangered.

Yugi said he can't speak for now until… I talked with him. I need to speak up the truth to him by tomorrow. Afterwards, that is all there is to it. All there is that he wanted to talk and to say sorry. He wanted me to speak and actually be a friend… maybe a better friend. He said that I'm just out of line though. He wishes that I was acting more better than before and that he shouldn't have followed like I said. Whatever is my problem… he wants to know by the next day.

He wants to actually talk one on one with me… yet he will be cautious. And so… His mother said his sorrows and his… prayers that I'm alright. He wanted to pray for once in the hospital about me. He said he will get someone to help me in any way. He said that I'm acting unwell more than before… and I need a medic more than him. As he spoke… Solomon replied too that I need full attention too. He said I need to get a therapist… even if it means necessary. I frowned grimly.

They are thinking of sending me off… just as I predicted. I knew I'm in the deep hells of fire now. No one find me acting well at all… So that's how it is. I guess… I need to get someone they said. Yet… I still don't want to though. Nothing is wrong, isn't it? For that's what I say.

No one should tell me at all… whether I need the help… or not. I shouldn't bother about them. I shouldn't give a care even if they are telling me that. Who are they? What are they? What's wrong with them? Why are you… telling me this? What are you… saying?

That I need help? That I need assistance? Who are you? What's wrong with these people?! His mother snapped me out. She coughed, "How are you doing?"

I shook my head side to side. How could I be mad? I can't get mad at her. She's done nothing. Nothing at all... "I'm fine," I assured her.

Yugi's mother… said she wanted me well from my behavior. She then said that she wanted to say her wishes that I'll be okay. Solomon said that she wanted her to reply at times for explaining Yugi's behavior in hospitality. He said he wasn't acting well enough from days ago… that I almost didn't stopped. She worded that she wanted to plead to her son that she shouldn't see her son when he talks to me. She begged that she rather just watch him afar and monitor. She rather not let him speak to me for some bad reasons… even though she didn't know what happened between us. All she knows is that something between us didn't make sense to her.

She says that she want to keep in check of her son… while he talks to me. She said that she wanted to say that I should be careful around her son from now on. At least… for now until she… found out. She forewarns that she wanted to see for herself if I been the one that harmed him. She might suspect me for my actions from before… and if it goes wrong… like last time… she will get the police to strangle me. She'll get the cops to talk with me… for the rest of my life. She then said that she won't accept me for talking. She will distance her son from me and…

She will never forgive it ever. She said that I need to give space away from him and… to no longer be his friend. He has to separate if that's the case. If it goes badly… She will tell the cops a piece of information about me… for the evidence. I fisted my hands tightly. What am I to do… now she wants to take me away from him too…? Who am I…?

What am I…? I can't… see him again if that happens… What am I… or what kind of person am I? Who am I to her… or her son, Yugi? Solomon can't talk it out for me either. What am I… or who am I when it happens again? If I was to be taken for sentence, I can't save myself with anyone the second time. I guess… it means that I… I can't…

I can't do anything about it. No matter what I do, I can't spare myself when it happens one more time. I growled within my thoughts. Who are you? How could you…?! Why are you…?! I thought… you were… Just go…!

Get lost! Go… Go away… What are you?!

She then smiled at my face. "Well… see you later."

She waved, going straight away to the Kame Game shop… with Solomon in tow. They walked and talked… as I watched them from view. When they were out of sight, I frowned and darkly shadowed my eyes. I couldn't watch them anymore. I still… couldn't…

I sighed. "I need to…"

What's wrong with you?

No… not you again. Just… Get lost. I don't need you. Just who are you? Who are you…? Why don't you… Get off me.

I just think… you're wasting the evitable. You're wasting my time. You're just wasting everything. I just… want to…

"…talk with Yugi."

Who are you… around me…? What are you? Whoever you are, just go away. Just leave me.

Why? What's wrong with you? Who are you… you pathetic worm… to anyone? I wouldn't talk like that… especially that I'm your friend.

You're not my friend. You're not ever… a friend to me. Just go away. Get lost. Leave me alone! Just leave me be!

…Why? Why won't you… be… my friend?

Why… are you saying I'm your friend? Get off me! Get away…!

Why are you saying that to me? What's wrong… with you? I am your friend. You are my friend. Don't you trust me?

Who are you…? What's your name? Why won't you answer? Who are you in the first place?!

Why… I'm your friend. Aren't you happy? Aren't you happy about me? Why are you… denying me… Aren't I your friend?

Who are you…? What is your problem? I said no such that I'm your friend! Nothing about you is my friend. Who are you? Why don't you identify yourself?!

…I am… your friend…! Why don't you see?

Why… are you telling me this? Who are you… to me?

Why don't you… see for yourself… that I am? Maybe I should… tell you a little secret. Let me explain… You are so my pawn the last I remembered. You can't deny anything about me that I was the one that infiltrate the Ring. I was the one that was by your side, not your Yami. So… Why don't you speak better… why don't you say better words? Say better words, pawn!

I lowered my head. The tears formed under my hair. No… That's right… I'm his pawn… "What have I done?" I choked with sobs.

Why are you doing this? I want to… cry for my…

You want… someone? Who is it? Who are you talking about? What do you want? Is it… your Yami?

…

No… How did you know? Why… Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?!

Ah, what's wrong? Don't you miss your Yami? You must have thought of him at times. Do you like him? Do you care about him? What's the matter? Who are you… even for him?

…

That's what I thought exactly… You miss him… and you like your friends. Do you like them… more than me? Why though?

…

I thought so… I don't care… at all. You're just a dumb boy to me. I should never bother with a boy like you. I don't need you at all. What use are you? So… what's wrong…? Can't talk? Why can't you talk?

…I just… hate you… I don't want you! I hate you! Get away from me! I don't like your talk! I hate you… ever since… the beginning! Why don't you… leave me alone! Leave me be! Leave me… I don't care about you!

Why aren't you…? Get away from me! Stay away! I just… I'm… "I'm so…"

…I'm so what? Do you care at all? Who are you around anyone like you said? Does it matter…? Who are you…? What's wrong? Don't you like me?

…

"Don't bother with him."

"…" Bakura…? Is that…?

Listen… I'm trying to tell you something… about that man that said those words. I don't know who he is… yet… I can't stay with you. For some reason… he's trying to cut off my talk. He's trying to…

"I don't know… where am I?"

"Sorry… I can't explain… I can't tell you because… he won't let me. He won't listen to my talk either. He said he's after someone you know. He's targeting somebody… and I can't… stop him. You need to tell the others about him or else…"

"…Bakura?"

Don't listen to him… I can't… let you hear him. If you want your Yami, then do as I say. Be my friend… or he gets harmed… He will get harmed if you made him talk the truth. Don't try at all… or else your Yami is gone… so… start being my friend. Be with me. Join me… and together, we can be pals. We could be friends… even for eternity.

"…"

Do as I say… Do as I say, you pawn. You want him… then do it. Do as I say then your Yami is free to say anything. He can talk if you don't say anything to them. Just follow what I want. Follow what I said.

Why… am I… Just… Who are you? I won't…! I won't listen to you… Never! Not you… Not you again! "Why…?"

…

Why are you being a total doofus? Who are you… pawn? What are you… boy? Exactly by that. You are no one to anyone… nothing matters to you. Am I right? What are you… for you… or anybody? Ever since you had me with the Ring, you thought you had a friend… You had that special friend. Yet… You can't say I'm not. Why aren't you listening to what you're saying? Why aren't you listening? Don't you like me? Do you like being my friend? So? What's your answer? Am I?

…

So… What's it going to be? What is your decision? All I want was to be your friend. I just want you to be happy. I want you to be happy with me. Are you saying you don't care?

…

Look… I'm trying to be your friend. It's all I want… like you. You have no one if you don't. So…? Am I your friend? Well…?

What are you saying…? Who are you…? Just who… Who… What do you want from me?!

"Because…" Don't you know…? Don't you know you and I… are something alike? You are my friend… and you are something to me. Come on… Be my friend. "He's not your friend…"

What choice should I make? Just who… Who am I? And… what… What are you… trying… to do?!

What should have done in the beginning… I should have got rid of you… I should have just disposed your soul away. You are nothing. You are so a pathetic man that only wants his own. You are just… a pathetic worm that's… useless if you don't like friends. What use are you? Who are you around anyone is what you said? Yet… You're so stupid. I hate you… pawn. You just don't like me? Then fine! I don't need you… I don't need a worm that's so stupid and useless. Stupid… boy. You don't like me? Fine! I care less! I care less about everything you are since the start. You are nothing to me for a friend! Who cares what you say!

…

Talk to me... Are you okay? Answer me…

…Say something… Where are you? I can't… connect to you for some reason… help me! Somebody… help me! Please… anyone! Please!

Ignore him… Just simply ignore him… He's nothing! No one should be in my way! Nobody! Don't struggle… against… my wills… Stop controlling yourself…!

…

I… can't… do… What's… happening… to me?

"Ignore him."

…

What have you done to him? What are you? I demand to know what you done to my Hikari! Why are you doing this to him? Who are you?! Answer me!

…

Answer me… Are you… okay? Tell me if you can hear me… Say something! Talk to me… Are you fine?

Why are you caring? Who are you? You're the Yami… am I right?

What's that mean? What have you done to him?!

I control your Hikari once and for all… I won't let you have him back to the way he is. He will obey my words… and he'll… be my pawn to use off. I won't let him be the same once I get rid of his friends.

And what… may I ask are you going to do? Who are you?!

…

What are you? You horrible wretch! You bastard! I hate you… I hate what you done to him! I'll never forgive you for everything! You horrible shit!

…What's happening…? What's wrong… with me? Why am I… fading away? What's happening to me? Why am I… so alone? Why am I just a stupid boy? How can I… be so foolish? Why am I…?

Who… Who is this? Do I remember? Yet… Who…? What is…? What's happening to me?! Why are you… doing… this… TO ME?!

I want… to be… with my… Please… Bakura, help me! "I just…"

Talk to me…! Say something! Come on… say something! Why aren't you talking…? Why are you… saying anything? What happened to you? Talk to me! Hikari!

He's not here for you. He's here for me. Not for you. None of your concern. Get lost. Stay off! I want you gone. Be gone!

…Bakura… where are you? Where am I? What's happening to me? Why am I not conscious to my head? Help me… please! Please help me! Help me! Help…!

…

You fiend! When I tell the others about you… I will make sure you're gone! I will get some help to get rid of you! You shit! You damn shit! I hate you!

Be gone with you! I will use him as my tool… You should be gone from this life. You will not ever be here again…! Goodbye! Now then… Where should I…?

What…? Where is…?

Huh? What did I tell you?! Get lost. I don't need… a pathetic worm like you. "Don't be stupid. He's never…" Get lost. Never return… you are… Nothing! Get away from… me! "…your friend. Stay well away…" I don't need… a useless… Worm… Like you! You are… Stay away! "…all you want…" Finally… I can… get rid of him. "…but you… still had to obey your… your Yami's wishes…" Do as I say… Nothing… you are… and you'll be… my pawn. "Now obey."

What's wrong with me? What's happening… to me? Where am I going?

I'm not sure… but you're friends are now in danger…

…Are they? What's happening?

I don't know… I can't break through either! I can't break through to that wretched man! What are we to do? What's wrong… with this? I need to get some help… yet how?

…

Why aren't you talking? What happened to you? What's wrong? Answer me!

…

Why aren't you talking to me? Hikari? Hikari!

…

I'm all alone… what am I to do? What's happened to him…? I can't reach for him… Why can't I…? What's wrong with him? How can I find help now? What am I to do? I need to stop this.

…

Who am I to anyone? Where I am… I feel nothing in me. I feel as if nothing mattered. Nothing was. I hate everything. Everything to do with… the man that controlled my life. Everything about that man… he… will stop at nothing to harm the others… yet… Why don't I care… or even to my Yami? Do I really… even cared or bother at all?
