Chapter 7

All the things he said

AN: Sorry for not updating for a while! This chappie is yet another songfic! This time done to All the things she said by Tatu. I don't own the characters or the song. And I changed the she thing to a he cause it fit the story better that way!

All the things he said

All the things he said

Running through my head

All the things he said

All the things he said

Running through my head

This is not enough

Yugi's Pov

Amazing how one moment can change your life so drastically. Even end it. I close my eyes, retreating to the hall between the two soul rooms. Only glass lies between me and my sleeping Yami. I put my hands to it, to feel if it is truly there. Kissing the barrier, I drop to my knees, pounding my fists on the ground in anger.

I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost

If I'm asking for help, it's only because

Being with you has opened my eyes

Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

Walking further down the hall, I enter a room I never before felt the need to enter. For it contained only an endless sky and a cliff. Stepping to the bottomless cliff, I suddenly began to take in the morose just of what I'm doing. And what I'm giving up. Seto. I take a step back, wind blowing my hair amongst the dust. I'll never see him again. Not in this lifetime.

I keep asking myself wondering how

I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out

Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me

Nobody else so we can be free

Turning my back to the cliff, I close my eyes. But all I see is Seto. Tears rush forth as I began to sob heavily. Closer, still to the ledge. I spread my arms, backing to the edge. I love him. If only I could tell him one last time. I open my eyes to glimpse my surroundings once more. There, a shadow stood near the door. A shadow in the shape of my Seto. He turned to face me, but then shoved me to the ground, stratling my torso. Before I could speak, he leaned down, initiating a bruising kiss. But when I opened my eyes again, he was gone.

All the things he said

All the things he said

Running through my head

All the things he said

All the things he said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough

His last words to me were in malice. My last memory of him is painful. What I do today is for neither myself nor Yami. I do this for Seto. For Seto and Seto alone would I go to such drastic measures. But it pains me to know that he'll never know the extent of my love for him. That he'll never know that all I've done is for him. Almost as though my actions are in vein. But his happiness is worth it. My body shakes with sobs, tears falling like rain.

All the things he said

All the things he said

"I'm sorry" I mutter aloud to the silence. But I know that not even the barren land in which I have come to these convictions could forgive my actions. Nor do I deserve forgiveness.

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed

They say it's all my fault, but I want him so much

Wanna fly him away were the sun and the rain

Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

"I love you" I say, reaching for a person who isn't there. I lean over the cliff, spreading my arms as though I could fly. Teetering over the edge, my fall gives me the feeling of flight, as though I will be forever flying. Deeper, I fall, wishing he was waiting to catch me.

When they stop and stare- don't worry me

Cause I'm feeling for him what he's feeling for me

I can try to pretend, I can try to forget

But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

Seto's Pov

The rain hasn't ceased for days. So depressing. Even more so now that I cannot hold Yugi in my arms. I reach for a picture of my family- Mokuba, Yami and Yugi surround me. And I was happy. Happy like I haven't been in almost a month. I stroke the picture softly, as though it could make up for what I've lost. So many memories. I needed to think- to get away from everything. Because it all reminds me of everything I have lost.

Mother looking at me

Tell me what do you see

Yes, I've lost my mind

The rain hits my umbrella with a calming repetitive pattern. But still, it depresses me. Leaves flutter in the wind along the meandering path. I came deep in the wood to break away from the burdens of society. Up ahead, a large waterfall looms over a shaded grass. The rain is beginning to let up. I take a seat under the tree, nearly falling asleep.

Daddy looking at me

Will I ever be free?

Have I crossed the line?

The sound of my cell phone calls me back to reality. Curse these modern times.

"'elo?"

"Mr. Seto Kaiba?"

"Yes, speaking."

" Yami is awake. You should hurry, he's asking for you."
