"Shadowed Hopes"
Sacrifice
Mesagi: God, it's been far too long since I posted anything for my story! I am sooo sorry everyone! School has been really hard and everything- It's Halloween now. God! It really has been a long time since I posted a chapter! Well, here you go, another chapter of Shadowed Hopes for you to read!
Ryou: Aww . ~reading ahead~ That's- so
Mesagi: *Clamps a hand over Ryou's mouth* Now, we can't have you giving away the secrets of the story, can we?
Alice: Yeah, stop trying to ruin it for everyone!

Yami Alice gritted her teeth and tried to figure out some way to get out of this so she could be free of him. He had become even crazier than she remembered him! "Bakhu! Stop this at once!" she said in a desperate attempt to get him to stop. But he wasn't listening. The same, sinister, insane smile was plastered across his face.
"Revert back to your Hikari, High Priestess," he said, pulling her closer to him. She looked panicked; she didn't know what to do now. "I- I will not! I won't let you harm her!" she blurted out, glaring defiantly at him.
"Ahh, but you shall bend to my will!" he hissed in her ear. "What I want, I will get!"
(In Ryou's Soul Room)
Ryou paced back and forth, shuddering at the thought of what his Yami might do to poor Alice.
"No! I won't stand for it! I refuse to be a slave to that- THING!" he shouted out loud, defiant to his Yami. For the first time since his Yami had made himself known, Ryou was standing up for himself and rebelling against his Yami.
(Back in Real Life)
Yami Bakura stalled a moment, taking a step back and releasing Yami Alice's arm. "W- What the?" That little brat! He couldn't stand up to him! It was impossible. With the beatings that he had given him, with the punishment that he had delivered- There was no way he should find the courage to stand up to him! Especially at a time like this.
And yet, he could feel his control slipping away as the- CHILD- fought against him. "Why!?" was the last thing that his Yami said while he was in control.
"Alice-san- " Ryou said, panting a bit and looking up with weary, sad eyes. He knew something that she did not. "I'm sorry that all of this has happened-" Yami Alice cut him off by placing a finger to his lips. "Shh, you want to speak to Alice, not me," she said softly. A faint shimmer of light surrounded Yami Alice and once more she was Alice. "Huh? Ryou-san! Ohh, you want to- talk to me?"
"Alice-san, I'm so sorry that this has happened to you, all because of me. Because of the demon that I keep inside. Alice-san, I'm sorry. I have- I have to get rid of the demon!" And with that comment, Ryou turned and ran off; away from her to god knows where.

Ryou sat silently at the edge of a cliff. No, of course he wasn't going to jump. That would be such a painful death. He was going to do something else. It might be even more drastic, but he had to make sure that his Yami couldn't hurt Alice-san. He closed his eyes and thought of all that he would leave behind- But more importantly, all that he would protect. Yes, he had to do this. He stood up and kept his eyes shut tightly, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
A soft, white glow appears around his fragile form. He opened his eyes and looked out across the beautiful landscape ahead of him. He smiled softly as the white light began to burn. He hadn't exactly known if it was going to work, but now he knew it would. His Yami was putting up quite the fight, trying to stop him from doing what he was doing. But he wouldn't let him take over, not now.
The white light engulfed Ryou as Alice came bursting from the underbrush. Immediately, her Yami knew what he was doing and relayed the information to Alice. "NO!" she shouted as Ryou turned back to her and smiled softly. He mouthed the words 'Good bye' before a flash of brilliant, white light made her shield her eyes. When she looked back, Ryou was gone. "Ryou!" she shouted, running over to where he was, tears flowing from her eyes. "RYOU!"
***
It had been a year since Ryou had disappeared. Alice sat quietly in the park, looking dully across the grass at the children happily playing. 1 full year since he had banished his Yami, and himself along with it. Half a year since the search parties had given up looking for him and he had become just another teenage statistic. The pain was still fresh, the wound still open. Anyone that mentioned the loss she snapped at, saying that he would come back. Nobody ever thought that Alice would get that close to /anyone/. But she had, and it had hurt when he had disappeared.
Her Yami had told her that he would return, some day. He would be re- incarnated. He might not even look the same, it may not even be in this time line, but he would be back. Though, that didn't make it hurt any less. She had opened her heart to the world again, and she had been hurt deeply. Maybe, some day, she would find Ryou again- after all; once you found your soul mate, you always find them again- right?

Mesagi: Well, what do you think of that? The end of my story! I hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to leave a message whenever you want. I'll always be checking the reviews, even if it's like, 6 months from now! Hee hee! Well, maybe I'll write something else later. Perhaps something from CSS? Yeah, that would be cool!
