BlackRose: Sort of a sister ficclet to Don't Turn Out the Lights.  If you haven't read it, that's fine, since this is just Bakura's thoughts 365 days later.    

The grass over your grave is damp from the rain that showers down upon us both.  I can't help but chuckle a little.  It wasn't even raining when you were buried, and now the heavens are crying.  Perhaps it's because my eyes were dry then.  I'm happy you finally got your rest, but…

These unfamiliar emotions are tearing me up inside.  I don't know why the salty trails are falling from my eyes now.  It's been a year already, did you know that, Yami?  A whole damn year since that night.  That night that still continues to give Ryou nightmares.  I'm not the one who holds him and comforts him anymore, though.  He seems to be spending more and more time with Malik, these days.  Did you know that Duke and Kaiba are engaged now?  I was surprised they hooked up in the first place.  Then again…they went through the same ordeal, so maybe it's not all that unexpected. 

Damn you, Yami.  Damn you for leaving.  If you had had the spirit, that wound wouldn't have stolen you from me.  But no…you had no will to live because Yugi was dead.  I hate you for that.

More salty liquid falls down my cheeks.  Damn it, why can't I stop crying?  These tears keep coming and they won't stop!  This is all your fault!  If you hadn't died, I wouldn't be crying right now!  They won't stop!  The sobs wrenching out of my throat are pathetic! 

You did this to me, Pharaoh.  You made me weak.  You made me feel grief instead of triumph now that I finally have your Puzzle.  All of that work…all those failed attempts…after all that, I finally have it and all I want to do is cry.  It wasn't like this before…not until I walked to the game shop and expected to see your face did it hit that you, Yugi, that mutt, and Tristan were truly dead.  I suppose I commend Tristan the most.  He died saving your life, although it was in vain since you died anyway. 

We didn't make that bad of a team, actually.  Now I know what it's like to be on the side utilizing the Puzzle.  I still can't believe it's mine.  Now I have three Items, although I stopped striving to reach my goal long ago.  I just don't see the point in it anymore. 

There was something I didn't get to tell you Yami.  Perhaps it's because these feelings only began to grow that night…or they had been festering inside me and your demise merely brought them out into the open.  I don't know.  I'm quite sure that I would have figured out these emotions sooner or later, and then worked up the nerve to tell you, had you not left me here.  

I…I…I love you.  There, I said it.  Not that it did much difference, since you can't even hear me anyways.  Or maybe you did, but you can't answer from up there. 

Maybe I'll see you again sooner than you think.  These feelings feel like their ripping me apart inside.  I'm falling down a dark abyss, and there's only one way out.   Death. 

+I cannot even begin to describe all of these emotions burning inside me.  Tearing me apart.  But the one that hurts the most…is the feeling you stirred up in my heart.+  

Feh…just review.
