~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

-Kaiba's POV-

"Why can't I do what I want?!" the enraged Ryou yelled at me. I've never seen him so mad before. Why can't he be calm like normal? But I can't show surprise. That gives him the edge.

"You can do what you want, it's just I don't want you getting hurt," I reply calmly.

-Normal POV-

"But you know I want to!!!" Ryou shouted back, still enraged.

"I know you do, Arnet," Kaiba replied, smirking.

Ryou calmed down a bit, "You always call me that. It means little eagle. Why would you call me a name that means a little eagle?"

"Because I know how you love to fly," Kaiba replied, getting annoyed because he had a company to run.

"Exactly! That's why I want to go!!! Come on, you've called me little eagle about a zillion times; I've taken flying lessons. I have what it takes!!!" Ryou whined.

Kaiba turned his back and started to walk away, "The answer is /no/ Ryou."

Kaiba slowly started to walk away but Ryou followed behind slowly, "Common!!!" Ryou softly whined, "Please Seto!!! YOU'VE GOT OT LET ME GO!!!"

That pushed Kaiba over the edge. Without thinking, he whirled around and slapped Ryou hard straight across the face. He was about to apologize when he felt a /fist/ hit his jaw. Kaiba was knocked to the ground and suddenly fell dumbstruck.

He looked up and held his jaw, which was turning discolored and bleeding, a bit.

"I'M GOING TO DO WHATEVER I WANT AND I DON'T NEED SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T NEED ME!!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I BOTHERED TALKING TO YOU!!!!" Ryou shrieked.

He stormed out of the room leaving Kaiba to sit and figure out what just happened. Kaiba didn't start to think until he (somehow) heard Ryou drive away in his car.

-Kaiba's POV-

But I do need you Ryou. Can't you see? I only wanted you to stay so that I won't be without you. Oh god Ryou, I'm gunna miss you a lot.

//Last time I talked to you You were lonely and out of place You were looking down on me Lost out in space//

Where the hell did you learn to hit like that? Probably from Bakura. Heh, that tomb robber probably taught that to him when might have taught his 'pathetic, vulnerable aibou' to fend for himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 years later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Normal POV-

Kaiba has been going on with work but he's been miserable lately. Mokuba has noticed and is getting worried. But there's nothing he can do. The only thing that would make his brother happy is gone. Speaking of Ryou, I'll tell you how his life is going.

He is very much alive but he did what Kaiba didn't want him to do. He had gone into space. That's what Kaiba was so against. Ryou could easily get killed in space. If you go into space, it's very likely that you will die. (I don't know if that's true but I think it is ^_^U)

-Kaiba POV-

I can't believe it. It's been 4 moths since he left. He really did it. And he's doing great. God be with him. I can still remember the launch off.

~FLASHBACK~

-Kaiba's POV-

Ryou and his crewmembers had already bored the spaceship and it was to blast off once the countdown began. And, as you guessed, Ryou had a huge smile when he was boarding. Ryou had looked over at me and smiled a little. I smiled a little back and did a nod.

Then the countdown started.

The loud speaker was saying, "T-minus 10..9.8.7.6.5"

He was actually going to do it. I couldn't believe it.

".4.3.2.1.BLAST OFF!!!" the loud speaker finished. (I don't know if they really say blast off. But they do here.)

"Good luck, Arnet," I whispered. No one heard me. But somehow, I thought that Ryou might have heard it.

~END FLASHBACK~

Well, I sit here doing me work at night. Mokuba's watching cartoons. I usually get annoyed but my minds on other things right now.

I glance over at the TV. A yellow sponge dressed in a business outfit was talking to a fat pink starfish with only flower-patterned shorts on and a squirrel in what seemed to be a very odd scuba diving outfit on. Then a pale-green squid with a big nose and only a brown shirt on walks up with a red crab also dressed in a blue business outfitish thing. Then the sponge said something and everyone but the squid laughs. The squid seems bored and sighs. (Can anyone guess what show it is? ^_^) Mokuba laughs along with the TV.

Just then, a news report cuts in on the show.

"Hey!!!" Mokuba shouts.

I wonder what's going that's so important that it even interrupts some cartoon so I decide to listen in on what's going on.

# We have interrupted this show to tell you about the spacecraft that has just been sent up for research on other planets. We weren't having a connection with the flight until a couple on minutes ago. When we reached them, they said that something wrong with the engine. They said the power was failing. Here's the message we got: #

There was a man's voice telling them about what was going on. Then someone from the station started to talk to them. He asked if they were all there and ok. The man replied that they were all there but Ryou was refusing to be called Ryou. He kept saying his name was Arnet. They all thought something had gone wrong with his mind and had to bind him to a chair to keep him from doing something. Then the radio went dead.

# That is the report that we heard before the radio went dead. Ryou Bakura, the youngest passenger, had apparently taken the problem to his head. He wanted to be called Arnet. His crewmembers feared for his insanity and had to bind him to a chair.

Well, The ship they were all in has been traced as destroyed. The engine had blown and all the power was dieing. The men tried to escape but they were probably killed because the back part has been ripped out and then men may not have heard it.

When they opened the door, it probably took out all of the oxygen and the men died because they stepped out and Ryou would have been stuck to suffocate. That's all we have to inform you of and we will now turn the show you were previously watching back on. Thank you. #

I just sat there, staring at the TV in disbelief. Then I hung my head low on the desk as the mental images of Ryou trapped in the control room, stuck to the chair, suffocating, calling out 'Seto!!! Help me!!!'. I started to cry. I just couldn't take it. Ryou was now dead and there was nowhere to turn to.

-Later-

-Normal POV-

Kaiba was sitting on the roof, looking at the stars. Thinking about how he probably died up there in the vast world.

//We laid underneath the stars

Strung out and feeling brave I watched the red orange glow

I watched you float away//

I hate this world. It's so cruel to ones that are so innocent. We trashed this planet and we went to go find another planet to trash. Ryou was trying to save mankind by doing this.

//Down here in the atmosphere Garbage and city lights You've gone to save your tired soul

You've gone to save our lives//

The news is everywhere. Well, you're about on of the most popular people now kid. We all know you. Not knew you, know you. You're still alive. Can you try to tell me you're still alive?

//I turned on the radio To find you on satellite I'm waiting for the sky to fall I'm waiting for a sign//

I really miss you. That's why I didn't want you to go. I stand up.

//And all we are Is all so far//

"YOU BETTER COME BACK, RYOU, YOU HEAR ME? YOU BETTER COME BACK TO THIS PLANET OR I WON'T EVEN SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN!!!!" I yell at the sky. Mokuba was used to my insane rantings by now. He knew I was upset about Ryou.

//You're falling back to me The star that I can see I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

I fell down crying. "You've gotta come back. You've just gotta," I whisper softly.

//Your falling out reach Defying gravity I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

I've started to sound like Mokuba. I hope all my yelling doesn't worry him. I really miss Bakura. That half-albino is one of a kind. Don't think I'll be seeing another on like him for a long time. I hope that he will keep thinking of me and never forget what he has down here.

//Hope you remember me When you're homesick and need a change I miss your purple hair I miss the way you taste//

(Purple hair sounds like Bakura, ne?) One out of every 17,000 people are albinos. One out of those albinos is Bakura. The extra special one.

//I know you'll come back some day On a bed of nails I wait I'm praying that you don't burn out Or fade away//

Am I the only one who believes he's alive? I will wait forever for him.

//And all we are Is all so far//

Everyone probably thought he was crazy because of the chair thing.

//You're falling back to me The star that I can see I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

"HE'S NOT CRAZY!!!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!" I yelled at no one in particular. I started to cry again.

//You're falling out of reach Defying gravity I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

"And neither am I," I whisper to myself.

//You're falling back to me The star that I can see I know you're out there//

I sighed. Maybe he was dead and I just couldn't grasp the concept so I have to go and make up crazy theories like this.

//You're falling out of reach Defying gravity//

NO! I can't think like that!!! He's alive and I will prove it to the damned world that doesn't know any better!!!

//I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

I sat there thinking to myself until I heard Ryou's voice. I looked over and saw Ryou

//You're falling back to me The star that I can see//

I ran toward him only for him to vanish. Had I started hallucinating? I run in to ask Mokuba if he saw Ryou.

//I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

"Mokuba!! Have you seen Ryou? He was just on the roof!!!" I asked Mokuba. He blinked.

"No Seto. He's gone, remember? Maybe you should go to sleep," Mokuba said worriedly. (AN: -_- nice blunt way to put it Mokuba)

//You're falling out of reach Defying gravity//

I sighed, "I guess I should."

I left to go to bed.

//I know you're out there Somewhere out there//

I sighed I did the nightly routine and got into bed.

//You're falling back to me I know, I know//

"You'll come back to me someday," I whisper to myself.

//You're falling out of reach I know//

"I know," I whisper before falling off into a deep sleep.
