Oh wonderful.  Now I've got writers block for the damn book.  -.-  Oh well.  Anyways…I was starving for a Ryou/Seto thingy, not that many out there, sadly, so I decided to make a one-shot sequel to Torn Sanity since I've gotten writers block for the other thing I'm working on.  Disclaimer: *eye twitch* Cantcha let a girl dream? 

Ryou lay on the large bed he and Seto had shared.  The funeral had ended several hours ago, and he was still in his black suit.  It had been a closed casket funeral, obviously, since most of his dead lover's head had been splattered on the walls.  It was cold and rainy as they buried Seto.  All of his friends had been there.  Hell, even Marik and Malik were there.  It finally hit Ryou that Seto was actually dead and wasn't coming back as they set his coffin into the muddy ground.  He had had to use Bakura as a support so he didn't collapse on the spot.  He could remember three days ago, when the former pharaoh had called him with the dismal news.  Yami had been helping Ryou look for him.  

Gods, it had been horrible.  At first he didn't want to believe that his Seto had shot himself in the head.  I never even knew.  Why didn't I see him suffering?  Ryou let out a dry sob.  Seto, why did you do it?  Why didn't you tell me?  I could have helped you!  Why didn't I see?  He buried his face in the pillow, tears sliding silently down his cheeks and onto the pillowcase.

"Damn it Seto, why didn't you tell me?  Why?" he cried. 

"Because I didn't want you to know." 

Ryou sat up so fast his head started spinning. 

"S-Seto?" 

He blinked several times to clear his tear blurred vision. 

"Yeah, it's me." 

Ryou stared at him, just to be sure.  There he stood, his brown-haired, blue-eyed koi, completely intact.  Something was different about him, though. 

He stood up and ran into Seto's arms, tears streaking down his damp cheeks as he cried into his chest. 

"I-I thought you were dead." 

"I am." 

Ryou pulled away. 

"What?" 

"I am.  See?"  He suddenly realized what was so different about his lover.  A silky, snow white feather fell down onto the carpet silently.  Muddy brown orbs widened. 

"Oh Seto." 

Seto lifted his azure gaze up to the sky. 

"Kuso.  I don't have long, an hour tops."  Ryou sobbed again.  Seto wrapped his arms around him comfortingly, resting his chin on his head. 

"Why-why did you come back?"   Seto unfolded his wings, settling them around Ryou as he looked up at him.  

"I want you to promise me something." 

"Anything……."

"Don't-don't end your life because of me." 

"But that." 

"Ryou…please…listen to me.  Don't you dare kill yourself.  Wait until your time comes."              

"But why?  I can't live without you!  I-I just can't!  It hurts too much!"

"I know it hurts now, but it won't be like this forever.  You'll find someone else that makes you as happy as I did, then you'll forget all about me." 

"I wouldn't!  I love you and no one else!" 

Seto closed his eyes as they began to water. It didn't help to dam up the flow as the crystalline tears began to trickle down his cheeks. 

"Oh God, Ryou…"

Ryou reached up and brushed the tears away tenderly with his fingers. 

"I don't think angels are supposed to cry," he whispered.  Seto leaned against his warmth and nudged his mouth with his own.  

He gently probed Ryou's mouth like he had done so many times before and moved down to his jaw line, planting soft kisses on it.  He undid the tie and the first three buttons of Ryou's shirt, kissing every inch of skin tenderly.  Ryou moaned softly and leaned heavily against him.  Before either one of them knew it, Seto's time was up.  He pulled his mouth away from Ryou's and looked at the ceiling again. 

"Ryou," he said softly, "It's time." 

Ryou looked at him, eyes shining with unshed tears. 

"Isn't there any way for you to stay?" 

Seto shook his head sadly, wrapping his arms tighter around him. 

"No." 

"Can I go with you?"

"No. There wouldn't be any way unless…" 

"I'll do it.  If it means being with you, I'll do it." 

"No!  I won't let you.  Don't even think about it." 

"But it's the only way!"   

"Please, I don't want to see you do it!" 

"I'm going to do it.  If I don't kill myself, I'll die of a broken heart."   

Seto cupped his chin in his hands and looked into his brown eyes in an intense gaze. 

"Ryou…don't you dare do it.  That's why I came here in the first place." 

"I don't want to live without you, Seto!  Please, let me do it!"  He pleaded with his eyes.  Seto looked away. 

"Don't do it.  You'll survive.  Besides, I'll always be watching you…until your time comes and we're together again."  

Ryou held onto him tightly. 

"I'm afraid," he whispered.  Seto kissed the top of his head. 

"I am too."  He pulled away and kissed Ryou softly one last time and walked to the window.  He was about to leave when he turned around and stretched his wings to their full length.  He smiled as he said,  

"Remember, I love you more than anything, Ryou.  Time itself couldn't keep us separated for long.  Just wait until your time comes.  Then we will be together for eternity.  Goodbye."  And with that, Ryou's angel disappeared into the sky, where he would wait and watch until they were together again.  Ryou touched his lips with his fingers and wiped his damp cheeks, smiling a little. 

Our love can over come anything.  I love you too Seto, and I'll wait, like I promised.  He bent down and picked up the lone feather, pressing it to his lips before laying it on the table by the bed and falling into a heavy, dreamless sleep. 

*sniffle* That was even sadder!  O.O  I'm gonna freaking cry!   Well, was it fluffy enough for you?  Was it too sappy?  Just press the little purply button and tell me!
