Shadowed Hopes
'So Close'
Mesagi: Hmm, the story's name has changed because my ideas for the story have changed! Weeeee!
Bakura: *Still under the writer's block (which has grown) and nursing a bruise* Why did she hit me so hard?
Mesagi: Never mind that - She was just venting her anger.
Raven: Damn straight I was! Weak little British guy. God, why did I even start talking to him in the first place? Ohh yeah, I wanted to Duel him. I bet he Duels about as well as he takes hits!
Mesagi: Ahem - Remember, he did just beat you and take your earring, Raven -
Raven: Shut up.
Mesagi: You can't make me! Now, let's go about trying to get this darn Writer's Block off of Bakura- You have to help, Raven!
Raven: Dammit!

Alice lay trembling under the tree while Bakura walked away. Clenched in his fist was the earring that he had taken from her. He sighed as he walked down the street. Why was it that he had to have his Yami? He may have been able to befriend Alice if it hadn't been for his Yami coming out when he had.
{Yami Bakura: Fool! She would never become your friend; nobody would be your friend! I'm surprised that Yugi and the rest of his foolish- gang- decided to become your 'friends'}
Bakura sighed softly as he listened to his Yami talking. Of course he was right, he always was. It was so unfair! He wished that he had never found the blasted ring. But he was stuck with it now.
Considering that Bakura hadn't been paying any attention to where he was going, he had started to cross the street. The Don't Walk sign was lit up in red, a very ironic colour considering that there was a car speeding towards him.
Meanwhile, Alice had been contemplating going and slugging Bakura and simply taking her earring back. Though, she had decided against it. She stood up and began to walk then, massaging her temples. She looked up and saw that Bakura had started to cross the street. But the Don't Walk sign was flashing! And there was a car turning the corner.
(Alice's Thoughts)
I should help him- But he didn't help me! That wasn't him though- It was his Yami! If he dies, than his Yami will die. But it wouldn't be right! He was kind to me- If he had been kind, though, he would have given back my earring. His Yami! His Yami may have threatened me, or him, with harm if he gave back the Earring! I have to help him!
(End thoughts)
Alice ran as swiftly as she could towards Bakura as he was crossing the street. Her violet eyes had widened as she ran, hoping that she could reach him before the car did.
As Alice got to Bakura the car was nearly on them. Now, if she didn't get Bakura out of the way, the car would hit both of them.
Alice pushed Bakura out of the street, causing him to land with a slight thudding sound on the sidewalk. Alice fell along with him, landing beside him. Though, she wasn't completely out of the street. It didn't matter though, the car zoomed past and the driver was yelling something about crazy kids at them.
Alice winced as her arm hit the curb. It hadn't been enough force to break her arm, but enough to cause a nasty bruise to appear there. She looked over to Bakura, who was looking at her in total shock.
(Bakura's Thoughts)
B: She saved me! YB: Only because you have her earring. It would have been damaged if the car had hit you, you fool! B: I guess- you are right-
(End Bakura's Thoughts)
"Are you alright Bakura?" Alice asked as she sat up, breathing heavily. Her eyes really were filled with concern for him.
Bakura noticed this and he dismissed the things that his Yami was now yelling at him about how she was playing him for a fool now. "Yes, I am- you saved me."
Alice sighed slightly and rubbed her injured arm. "Yeah- Please Bakura! I- I need that earring! You don't understand-"
Bakura thought about this for a moment, unclenching his hand and looking down at the earring that he had been holding. {Maybe I should give it back to her-}
Bakura then looked up at Alice with a sinister smile, his hand quickly closing around the earring again. "Shame on you, appealing to my weaker half to get the Earring that I rightfully won in a duel!" With that he stood up and began to walk away. "If you want it, find someone else with a Millennium Item to bet for it."
Alice's heart sank as she stood up. She had to find a way to get back her earring! There had to be something else that she had that would be appealing to him.
(Alice's Thoughts)
My deck? No, he has defeated my deck. There is no way he would want it after that. What about my services in getting the Millennium Items? No way! He wouldn't want a 'Weak Mortal' to be helping him with that. What about my service in general? Like, a servant or something- Yes- that has to work!
(End Alice's Thoughts)
"Bakhu!" She remembered the name that her Yami had spoken to him before she had been taken away. "I challenge you to another Duel! If I win, I then get my Earring back! But- if you win," she shuddered a bit as she thought about it. Her freedom was on the line now! "-Than I shall be in your services."
To Be Continued.

Mesagi: Tee he. I'm so evil. Now you have to wait and see what happens! Ohh, feedback wanted, and yes, I am open to suggestions! By the way- the few reviews that I have gotten have lifted my spirits! All- three- of- them-
Bakura: Ohh, I should have given back her earring! Now she might have to loose her freedom!
Raven: Damn straight! What the hell was I THINKING!?
Mesagi: Scroll up and read again to find out.
Raven: *does so, sweat drops* Ohh yeah-
Mesagi: *Pulling on writer's block that is pinning Bakura down* It's so heavy! How am I supposed to get this thing off of you?
Bakura: I don't know-
Next Chapter: Well I'm not tellin! It'll spoil the suspense!
