Chapter Nineteen: Karaoke ! _______________________________________________________________________________

They all booked into the hotel. An was grateful that no one had met us at the airport, she wouldn't have been able to face her old friends, seeing which ones believed that she was a murderess or not. How anyone could believe for a second that she had killed her brother was beyond her, she had been as devoted to Andrew as Mokuba was to Seto.

There was a knock at the door.

An sighed expecting Seto but she was surprised to see Ryou there instead.

[An can I come in?] He asked.

An nodded surprised. Ryou walked in and sat on the couch in the hotel room waiting for An to join him.

[So, what's it feel like coming home?]

[It's weird but...it scares me.] An sighed. [I don't know why, it's funny really.]

[What's funny?]

[Since I moved to Domino, since the time when I think I first got Anhai. I've had this fear, it comes for the strangest reasons.] An explained. [One day I came home and Matt was angry at something and slapped his hand against the counted, and it terrified me, even though I knew that Matt would never hurt me, and when...]

[When what?] Ryou asked.

[Swear you won't tell the others?] An asked taking Ryou's hands in hers.

[I swear.] Ryou said looking at An's eyes and blushing but she didn't notice because she was looking at her hands as she slowly withdrew them from Ryou's and rested them on her lap.

[I almost opened a portal to the shadow realm.] She said quickly.

Ryou gasped his eyes going wide.

[I can stop it though, I can control it, but when it first happened I was so terrified and it wasn't the shadow realm I was afraid of.] An explained

[What was you afraid of?] Ryou asked.

An shook her head. [I don't know...but it's the same fear I have now, it's as if there is something waiting for me.]

Timidly Ryou placed his hand on An's shoulder.

Blinking back tears An hugged Ryou, a few moments later she broke away. [Thank you.]

Ryou shrugged looking away so she couldn't see his blush.

[What about you? Has your Yami come back yet?] An asked.

[How did you..?] Ryou looked back at An blush forgotten.

[What you mean he has?] An asked. [Has he hurt you?]

[No.] Ryou answered. [That's the odd thing, he's been complaining about how this place is so stupid.]

[Too used to Japan is he, huh?] An asked.

Ryou nodded. [But he hasn't even threatened me.]

[That's good, I'm glad for you, have you told the others he's back and not being horrible?] An asked.

[Not yet...I think Yami and the others will except this new Bakura if he's been around for a while with out half killing me rather than if I tell them now.] Ryou shrugged.

[Giving him a chance to prove that's he's gone good huh? After all Yami would banish him back the shadow realm the second he found out.] An laughed.

[Yeah he would wouldn't he.]

There was another knock at the door. This time it was Yugi.

"Hi Yugi, come in, Ryou and I were just talking." An said.

"Is he okay?" Yugi asked.

"Er..."An looked at Ryou who shrugged and back. "Why wouldn't he be?"

"Yami said he felt something on the plane, a release of Shadow energy and he thought he felt Yami Bakura at the same time." Yugi said. "He didn't say anything on the plane because there were so many other people around."

"Well if Bakura was back wouldn't one of out group, probably me, be a soulless husk by now?" An asked.

"I guess, anyway Joey and everyone wants to go out clubbing or something, want to come?"

An laughed. "You mean you need me and Ryou to come and be translators?"

Yugi blushed. "Yeah, Kiaba was coming but he has to cheer up Mokuba for some reason, all I caught was 'Damn Disney and their mutts too.' Or something like that."

"Well I'm up for it, Ryou?" An looked over her shoulder where Ryou was still sitting on the couch. He nodded. "Right well give be twenty minuets to get ready."

The boys nodded and left. An grinned, they weren't going to know what hit them. The smile faded as Anhai tied to call her.

/You said until after the exhibition now get lost and leave me have some fun. On second thought I'll make you leave me alone./

*******************************************************************************

Everyone else was dressed in their clubbing clothes when An came down stairs and everyone stared at her.

She still had one armed bandaged and one arm in a cast but they were bother adorned with back belts, some of which had silver studs. A black lace choker was around her neck, she wore shiny black pants were a grey sleeveless top, and sliver chain hung around her waist. She wore black eye shadow both above and below her eyes and dark purple lipstick with no other make up. For once she didn't have the back band of morning on.

"What happened to you?" Joey asked. "If I wasn't in a relationship I'd pounce you!"

"Joey since when were you in a relationship?" Tristan asked.

"Er...umm....Forget I said that." Joey muttered.

An laughed. "Come one are we going out or not?"

An took them to one of her favourite clubs, It was slightly gothic but not so much so that Yugi who was slightly gothic anyway, and his friends who weren't wouldn't feel out of place.

"Hey look it's Karaoke night." Tea pointed out.

"Anyone up for it?" An asked. Everyone shook their heads. "Fine I'll do it one my own."

An jumped up on to the stage and told the guy in charge of the machine what song she wanted. Bakura grabbed a beer mat and luckily had a pen in his pocket, after all he just knew everyone would want to know what An was going to be singing, and she was most likely going to be singing in English.

[I kept the right ones out. And let the wrong ones in.
Had an angel of mercy to see me though all my sins.
There were times in my life...When I was goin' insane.
Trying to get though
The pain.]

"She's good." Yugi said. "What's it mean?"

"I'm trying to write it down for you, pass me more beer mats I'm going to need it in a few moments." Bakura said not looking up from his writing.

[When I lost my grip, And I hit the floor.
Yeah I thought could leave but I couldn't get out the door.
I was sick and tired of livin' a lie...
I was wishin' that I
Would die.]

An took a breath to start the chorus

[It's amazing.]

Bakura looked up for a second to see An was looking right at him before she averted her gaze to everyone else in the room.

[With the blink of the eye you finally see the light.
It's amazing.
When the moment arrives and you know your going to be alright.
It's amazing.
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate souls tonight.]

Bakura slid one beer matt away and he took another one to continue writing. Yugi picked up the first one and started reading. His eyes widened.

[That one last shot's a permanent vacation.
And how high can your fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell what tomorrow brings.]

Yugi passed the matt to Joey who reacted the same way.

[You have to learn to crawl. Before you learn to walk.
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk.
I was out on the street. Just tryin' to survive.
Scratchin' to stay.
Alive.]

An took more breath in for the chorus again.

[It's amazing.
With the blink of the eye you finally see the light.
It's amazing.
When the moment arrives and you know your going to be alright.
It's amazing.
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate souls tonight.]

An looked surprised at all the applause she got, and Ryou Bakura himself was clapping despite the glares he got from those who had read the translation he had made. She thanked everyone and sat at the table Yugi and everyone had clamed stretching her arms over her head.

"Man that made me feel better."

"Better?" Tea asked in disbelief, "What about 'Wishing I would die' Huh?"

"How did you know what the song meant?" An asked.

"I translated it for them." Ryou admitted.

"Oh...so that's what you were doing." An said. "And guys read the chorus again."
