The Day the Music Died
By i heArt Yuugi ChAn

Yuugi sighed, looking through the chain-link fence on the school roof, looking over the cityscape at Domino Port. Nothing is going right for me today... I was sure that it would... The bell rang, signaling the start of lunch, and he looked down to watch the students flocking outside.

"Guys! We have to find out where Yuugi went!" Anzu gathered her friends, panicking.

"That… arhg!" Jounouchi grabbed his head. "He better not do anything stupid before we find him…!"

Honda turned to Jounouchi. "What, did he seem that upset to you?"

Jounouchi didn't answer. "We HAVE to go find him!"

"How about we all split up?" suggested Bakura. "We can cover more ground that way, and find him faster!"

"All right!"

They all went their separate directions, but Bakura stood where he was. As soon as everyone was out of sight, he pulled his shirt open and grabbed the Millenium Ring. "Now, where can that boy be…?" He held up the Ring, and the spikes glowed and pointed upwards. "Ah, the roof. Well, then…" He ran back inside to make his way up.

Bakura was glad for his power to sense the other Millenium items for it led him directly to Yuugi. As he scaled the stairs up to the roof, he quickly buttoned up his shirt and made himself look more presentable. Wouldn't want little Yuugi to think that he was a threat now would he?

Bakura opened the roof door to see Yuugi staring off into the scenery. The wind blew his black and goldenrod hair with peaks of magenta in the wind. Bakura closed the roof door behind him quietly and began walking over to the shorter boy.

"Ah! Yuugi! I found you!" he announced happily.

Yuugi spun around, slightly startled. "Oh. Hello, Bakura-kun." He sat down on the ground and leaned against the fence, sighing.

"Is something the matter, Yuugi-kun?"

"Oh, nothing." Yuugi put on an obviously fake smile. "It's just an F, really!"

Bakura raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

Yuugi's smile melted away as he realized that he wasn't fooling his friend. "No, not really. I… I feel like maybe I have no reason to be here, anyway… maybe I should just end it here…"

"No!" Bakura successfully managed to fake a nervous, caring face; being a tomb robber made for mastery of disguising oneself. "Yuugi-kun, don't! Of course you have a reason to be here!"

"I don't know…" Yuugi sighed. "I mean, I'm a bully magnet, and there are countless people who are out to kill me… and now…"

Bakura smirked. "Well, maybe you're right, then."

"What?"

"Perhaps if you can't even love yourself then you can't expect other people to love you as well." said Bakura with a sigh as he looked off at the clouds. Yuugi turned his head quickly so that his bangs swung in front of his eyes.

"You think so?" Yuugi asked, looking down at his shoes.

"Yuugi, trust me." said Bakura. "I'm not out to give you bad advice and I think that you should rethink your thoughts but if you can't come to a positive conclusion then maybe that's all there is to your mind."

"So you're saying..." started Yuugi.

"I'm not saying anything." said Bakura.

Yuugi stared at him quizzically. "I think you are."

"Think what you want, Yuugi-kun. That's what got you into this mess anyway, isn't it?"

Yuugi paused and thought about what his pale-haired friend was saying. He's making sense, in a way… I think… Yuugi was seriously starting to get confused. Bakura had never acted this way before- had he? Yuugi's thoughts were no longer occurring in an ordered fashion; they were jumbled and skewed all over the place. Was Bakura implying that suicide was the answer…? Was he right?

Aibou!

Yuugi suddenly became mentally alert. Y… yami…

Aibou! Stop thinking like this! Don't listen to him; no matter what he might say, you--

Yuugi cut off communication, blocking his thoughts from his other half.

Bakura noticed that mental battle that Yuugi was going through. It was hard not to with the facial expressions that were being shown.

"Yuugi-kun, I'm your friend right?" Bakura asked. Yuugi nodded as a single sparkling tear slid down his cheek and rested on his lower lip. "I would never steer your wrong. I only want what is best for you."

"But is it really best to just..." started Yuugi. He didn't want to finish that sentence. It hurt him to think about it and saying it would only make it worse.

"That's up to you Yuugi-kun." said Bakura. "You have to search inside your own heart and not anyone else's."

Yuugi knew of course, that Bakura may have been referring to Yuugi's Yami but he could have been implying his friends as well.

"I think…" Yuugi looked up into Bakura's liquid brown pools of light. "I think that maybe I should…"

"Yuugi!!" Suddenly, Jounouchi ran onto the roof, followed by Anzu and Honda and, to his surprise, Seto Kaiba. "Bakura, you found him!"

Bakura nodded, smiling. "Yeah…" Inwardly he thought, Yuugi's state of mind is now at an exceedingly precarious level. He's made up his mind on what he's going to do. Even if his friends try to convince him otherwise, he won't reconsider…

Yuugi looked towards Bakura. Inconspicuously, Bakura gestured his head towards a certain place in the fence- a hole which Yuugi had not noticed before.

"Guys…" Yuugi started moving towards the hole. "You shouldn't have come. This'll be harder now on all of you. But nothing you say can convince me otherwise…"

Seto, being the sharp person he was, immediately realized what Yuugi was doing. "Yuugi, you idiot! Don't do it!!" He and the others wanted to run to Yuugi and put a stop to him, but found that they were rooted to their spots. "YUUGI! You are my rival! I WILL beat you one day! Don't do this!!"

Yuugi thought hard about what the much taller, brown haired boy had said. "The only reason you want me around..." Yuugi fought out in a quiet yell. "Is so...is so you can beat me?"

Seto paused and stared at Yuugi's back. He was at a loss for words. Is that really what Yuugi thought?

"Even if that's all HE wants, it's not what I want!" said Jounouchi loudly. "I don't care one way or another if I ever beat you! All I want is for you to be around, to be with me. You're my friend, Yuugi." Jounouchi paused. "I care about you. I just don't want you to get hurt."

Yuugi turned his head to face his blonde friend. "Yeah… you don't want me to get hurt… so let me do this, and leave this world of pain…"

"No, Yuugi!" Anzu started sobbing. "Yuugi, don't do this! Even if you are upset, we're here for you! You can't say that this is a world of pain, when there are so many people that care for you!!"

Honda clenched a fist. "Yuugi, you bastard! If you do this, I'm never going to forgive you!!"

Yuugi stared at his friends sadly. "Well…"

Bakura started to become nervous. Had he underestimated…? Suddenly, hoping to give Yuugi some sort of signal, he shouted, "YUUGI!!!!"

Yuugi turned his head to his white haired friend. The tears freshly fallen from his eyes flew off his face and fell to the ground. The instantly evaporated from the hot cement.

"Yuugi, it was only a test!" Anzu called to Yuugi when he had turned his head.

"Oh it's much more than that." said Yuugi. "If only you knew the pain I go through every day, you'd know that it was much more than a test."

"But the only way for me to know is if you tell me!"

"If I can't even love myself, I can't get others to love me." Yuugi repeated as he slammed his hand down on the edge of the roof.

Anzu was speechless. "That's… That's not true!! We really care for you, Yuugi! And even if you don't love yourself, then… we'd be more than happy to help you through!!"

Yuugi looked at her and mumbled a single word. "No." At that, he let himself fall over the side. "Goodbye… my friends…"

"YUUGI!!!!"

After the longest second in the world, they heard a horrible crash and several screams.

Anzu put her hands over her mouth. "Oh my god…"

Jounouchi, tears overflowing, pounded back down the stairs, Seto and Honda close behind. Anzu staggered after them, sobbing.

Bakura sauntered over to the edge of the roof and looked over to watch the scene below. He saw Jounouchi run out and approach Yuugi in the growing pool of blood. "He didn't land on his head! Anzu, someone, go call an ambulance, he's still alive!!"

Bakura shook his head. "What a shame… it wasn't instant… it'll only prolong the suffering..."

I'M SOOOOO sorry Yuugi fans!! Yuugi's not dead now but it's still really sad!! I read this outloud to myself and my friend and our eyes were watering so much and I really had to fight back the tears!! I hope you feel the same way!! Please R and R!
