Chibi: Wow!! My length in-between these just keeps getting longer!!
Gomen!!!! I really have had a ton of work to do. Plus, my fish died
yesterday! It's so sad! He was gorgeous! He was an almost pure white beta.
He had blue tipped fins and a pinkish tint to the rest of his fins. BUT,
like any of you care about my fish! So, I'm gonna stop talking and just get
on with this!

"Do you still want me to go on?" the detective asked the group of friends.
Yami stared off into space then turned to face his friends. Tears flowed from everyone, as they were barely able to keep their calm. 'I know I want to hear this, but maybe the others should leave,' he thought.
Yami still held Yugi in a brotherly embrace as the latter tried to stifle his sobs. Yami gently turned to look at Yugi and the others. "You should go." He said point blankly. "It's been a long night and it's only going to get worse."
Yugi hung his head as Jouno and Honda looked sadly at each other. Jouno stood up without saying a word and was quickly followed by Honda. Both boys reached the door, but stopped and turned to find Yugi had not moved.
"I'm staying." He said solemnly.
"Aibou, you.."
"No. Yami, I'm staying. Anzu was my first true friend. I need to know what happened to her, so I can help her."
"Ok, you can stay," he nodded at the others so they knew they could leave.
"Please continue." Yami directed the detective.
Detective Mosser gave a quick nod and prepared to finish his story.
One the opposite side of the hospital, a lone nurse walked the ICU. She went in and out of a few rooms to run random check ups on the patients. She soon came across room 320 and went in.
'Poor girl,' the nurse thought as she strolled over to the bed. 'She's been through so much, and she wouldn't even be alive right now if it weren't for the life-support. She's starting to give up.'
The gentle nurse stepped gracefully to the bed, her long-dark hair swaying behind her. She reached over and pulled the bed sheets up closer to Anzu. The nurse then placed her hand on Anzu's cheek and leaned over to place a soft kiss on her forehead. 'Take care little one. I've seen many innocents and pure hearted people leave this world when it wasn't their time.' In one swift movement, the nurse unplugged the life-support system. 'But it's your choice.'
The nurse headed towards the door, but turned around before leaving. "You don't want to leave little one. You have many loved ones who care for you. Don't leave. For their sake and yours, don't leave."
The soft sound of the door clicking shut sounded the nurse's retreat. The room was once again bathed in darkness. A darkness that no one on the outside knew existed. For the darkness wasn't the type to come from lack of artificial lighting. This darkness was a place, a state of mind, that only to those who fight in a battle unlike any other, a battle for their life, knew of.
The nurse was right, Anzu was an innocent, a barer of a pure heart. And now that her life-support was cut off, Anzu had a choice to make. She could leave this world of pain and suffering or move on to a place of warmth and light.
Anzu slowly opened her eyes and pushed herself up into a sitting position to look about. Her surroundings were unfamiliar to her, as they would be to anyone. Infront of her a warm light was being emitted from as unknown space. Behind her she felt only coldness. She dare not turn around, the cold-darkness frightened her. Still sitting, she slowly started to crawl towards the warmth, but stopped. Something echoed through her memories as she closed her eyes to remember, 'you don't want to leave little one.'
Anzu stood up as this, "Leave? What am I leaving? I just want to get away from the cold."
'You have many loved ones,' the echoing continued.
"Loved ones?" At this images from her memories flashed across her mind. She saw all her friends, her family, everyone that has ever meant anything to her. And then she saw him..Yami.
Anzu shuddered as the darkness behind her grew colder and closer. She wanted to leave it, to get away, but the she remembered. Yami was Yugi's darkness. Maybe the darkness wasn't so bad after all. Sure, it was cold and unknown, but it held many secrets. And sometimes, those secrets are worth the bitter chill.
Anzu turned around and quickly ran towards the darkness.
Back in the waiting lobby, Detective Mosser continued with his story. "Once again, I'm gonna ask if you still want me to continue with this."
"Just tell us already." Yami grew irritated with the detective rather quickly.
"Alright, as I said earlier, the mother may have survived....had it not been for one last injury. During the crash a rather large shard of car metal had plunged through her head. The doctor who performed the autopsy said it must have been the most painful way to die. The victim, Mr.Marrin, did not die immediately after this. She suffered for, as paramedics believe, for about 10-15minutes afterwards. Because of the precise position of the shrapnel, death was eminent, but slow. All of the Marrin twin's victims bared this wound."
Yami eyes held a distant look in them as he thought back to the events that took place earlier that day. "I barely stopped them." Yami whispered out.
"What?" Yugi asked as he looked up at Yami, obviously concerned.
"When Anzu and I were trapped in the basement, I was barely able to get out of my restraints to help Anzu. The twin's held a large piece of car metal up to her head. They were gonna kill her with it. If I hadn't been able to free myself.." Yami stopped as Yugi placed a hand on his shoulder.
"But you did free yourself. And you saved Anzu."
"Maybe, but not soon enough. And we would have never made it out of there if it weren't for that man." A confused look graced his features for a brief second. "Who was that man?" he asked the detective "After he shot Capac and Chimu, he said he killed his sons. Was he their father?"
The detective looked up from the notes he was reading that Sgt.Clines had taken down. "Actually, Yes. He is. When the paramedics and police arrived at the house, he just sat and waited to be taken in by the police. He said matter-of-factly that he killed his sons. So he's being held in custody right now for the murder of the Marrin twins. He's also being questioned about his disappearance and if he's had any connection with the murders."
A silence fell upon the room after the conversion had finished. The only sound was that of Detective Mosser and Sgt.Clines gathering their belongings. They soon bid their farewell to the boys and left them alone.
Neither moved, as they both sat contemplating what just took place. Soon, Yugi turned towards Yami and tugged childishly at his shirt.
"Yes?" Yami asked as he faced Yugi.
"Can we go see Anzu?"
Yami looked sympathetically at his Aibou. He too wanted to see Anzu, perhaps more than anyone else, but the doctors forbid it. Yami mentally laughed at himself. Since when would that stop him?
"Of course Aibou." Yami stood up and was closely followed by Yugi as they found their way towards the ICU.
