Did you like the last chapter? Hiro is going to be in it a lot from now on. If
you don't like him then.... well.... force yourself, or don't read it. Yami and
everyone else are still in it though. I do not
own Yu-Gi-Oh but I do own all the characters not in the anime or manga. One more
thing, sorry for all the spelling mistakes that have been occurring. The
computers at school aren't the newest or have the best keyboards. The spell
check isn't any better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hours after Hiro left, Lydia was still crying. Yami didn't know that it had
happened until he came into her room to check on her. "Lydia, what happened? Why
is your mouth all bloody? Where is Hiro at?"

"H-Hiro did this." she managed to say. "Hiro left me because of Ezra. Ezra made
him mad."

"Lydia, there's something I need to tell you about Hiro." she looked at him with
confusion. "You already know he was a demon, but he also has a mental problem.
It's affected him since we were little and when our parents banished him, it
only made things worse. Staying in the dungeon for fifteen years made his
disability greater. He gets too mad about little things and doesn't think
anyone cares about him. I guess he was able to control it until now."

"What? Why wasn't I ever told about this?" she asked.

"He didn't think you'd love him if you knew." Yami answered.

"Let's go find him then! I need to go find him!" Lydia insisted.

"Okay, I'll go find him." he assured her.

"Take me with you! Carry me or something, I want to be there." Yami agreed and
carried her around with him in search for Hiro. They didn't have much luck until
it was almost completely
dark.

Hiro was sitting on a rock on the outside of town. "Hiro, what are you doing
here? Why did you leave me like that?" Lydia asked him.

"I'm sorry, Lydia." he said. Both of them could tell he was. "You should just
stay away from me. I could be dangerous."

"I'm willing to take that risk, Hiro. I'll even give up Ezra if you want me to."
Lydia said. "All I want is to be with you. You should have know I would have
still loved you." Hiro was about to take Lydia from Yami when there was a crack
from behind them. Yami turned around and it was MALIK?!?!?!?!with a gun pointed
at Hiro. Yami glanced back to see that Hiro had already been
shot in the head.

"Hiro, no!" Lydia screamed and pounded on Yami's shoulders to get free. Finally
he let her down - and she walked to Hiro. "Don't die, Hiro! Yami, we have to get
him to Simon Muran!"

"But what about Malik? We just can't-" he was cut off by Lydia.

"I don't care about Malik!!! Hiro needs help now. You can defeat Malik any day
but Hiro won't live forever."

"You're right, Lydia," Yami said as he picked up his brother. "Let's go." Yami
and Lydia ran back to the palace as fast as they could and gave him to Simon
Muran. He examined him for a long time. Then he came out and explained the
situation to everyone, but mostly Lydia.

"I have bad news, Lydia. Hiro probably will not survive this accident. If he
does, he may suffer from severe brain damage."

"Can I go see him now?" she asked and he let her in. "Hiro?"

Hiro slowly moved his eyes towards her. "Lydia, you can walk again."

"Yes and it was because you were hurt. You healed me so you can't die!"

"This is how it is supposed to work. I have to die, it's part of the plan." Hiro
told her.

"Plan?! What? This was all a plan?" Lydia asked and he nodded. "Why, Hiro? WHY?"

"I told you," he said, "To heal you. I made a deal with Malik that if he shot
me, you would get better, and you did."

"How could you do that, Hiro? Why would you want to make me sad without you?"

"I don't want to. I had to heal you, just in case I wouldn't be there for you."
he looked away from her. "There's one more thing I have to tell you before......
before I go."

"Stop it, Hiro! You are not going anywhere. I won't let you!" Lydia tried to
calm herself down. "What do you need to tell me?"

"That day, when I attacked you, I said I was controlled by Malik."

Lydia gasped in shock. "No, Hiro..... it can't be true! You didn't!"

"Yes I did. I lied to you. I was not under the influence of Malik. I did it
myself."

"Why would you do that? Didn't you care about me then?" she asked.

"Of course I did. It was my mental problem. Sometimes I can't control myself."

"Well, if you stay, I can help you! If you die now, you'll never have a chance
to get help. Hiro, please?"

Hiro didn't answer for a while. "No, I don't want to live anymore."

"Why? Did I do something wrong? Do I not love you enough?" Lydia asked.

"That has nothing to do with this."

"Then what is it?"

"It's because of what I did to you. I paralyzed you and abused you. How can you
still love me even after that?"

"Hiro, I'm not paralyzed anymore and I'm better from earlier. It was only a
mistake. Everyone makes them." she said.

"Stop arguing with me!" Hiro yelled at her. "I want to die and you're not going
to stop me! Just leave me alone!"
"Hiro, just listen to me. The only reason I want to live is because of you. If
you die, I won't have a reason to live anymore. I love you so much, Hiro. I
would be happy ever again. Please don't die, Hiro, please?" Lydia looked at him
and saw that one tear had fallen from his eye. "Hiro?"

"Lydia, I'm sorry." he got up off of his bed, despite his injury to his head. He
walked over to Lydia and hugged her. "I'll never leave you. I swear I'll stay
with you forever."

And Hiro didn't lie. He never left Lydia for more than a few hours at the most,
until one day, he woke up and she was gone. Hiro searched days for his wife, but
he didn't have any luck. No one had seen her and there weren't any hints of
where she had gone. Yami and Damara tried to make Hiro happy, but it was no use.

"I'm sure she's fine." Yami would tell him.

"But why would she leave me? I thought we were happy together. Well at least I
was. Maybe she was tired of me."

"That's not true." Damara said. "She was very happy with you. Maybe someone took
her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Months later, Hiro was sitting outside of the palace, like did everyday, hoping
that Lydia would return. This day was worth the wait. At first, he couldn't see
that it was her, partially because his right eye was now completely blind from
the attack from Malik. As she got closer he recognized it was her. He didn't
believe it at first but when he did, he ran towards her and embraced her.
"Lydia," he said almost in tears. "You came back! Where were you? Are you
alright?"

Lydia was crying. "Hiro, I missed you. I'm not alright though." she said,
looking away.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"If I tell you, will you promise not to be mad at me?"

"I can't be mad at you." he told her so she decided to tell him her secret.

"Okay, Hiro, this might alarm you, so just let me explain everything before you
get too upset." she took a deep breath and then began. "Some guy kidnapped me
and now I'm pregnant from him."

"WHAT?!" he yelled so loud that people inside the palace could hear him. "Who is
this guy? What is his name? Where does he live?"

"Hiro, please calm down." she begged him. "I tried to stop him but he was too
strong. Do you believe me?"

He could definitely see that Lydia was afraid of him. "I didn't mean to yell,
but of course I believe you."

Okay, before I get a lot of reviews saying that there aren't any guns in
Egypt...... I KNOW! But would you get the same affect if it were an arrow? I
don't think so. Just use you imagination. I have also started the sequel and
have the first chapter done and most of the second.
