Seeking the light

By Firehedgehog

Chapter Twenty-two- Thoughts of the dimensionally displaced

      A sobbing filled the air; it was filled with sadness and a deep

depression. The reason, Kage, had failed. He had been stupid to call that

demon card; it had taken to much power and pulled him into unconsciousness...

all he knew was that TK had won that battle.

      How... he did not know, but even if Kage had won there would have been no

way for him to retrieve Hikari's soul.

      The orb they would have carried Hikari's soul in was destroyed,

destroyed in a battle between a drill like creature and Raito.

      'Stupid Kitsune' the paled haired teen thought; his shook with his sobs

as his light sight rubbed his back.

      'Why, why does everything I love have to be taken away' he thought,

first Hikari was taken from him in ancient Egypt, then in his home dimension,

then finally there last chance to bring Hikari back.

      (Kage, why don't you go to sleep... we'll be able to think something up

with clearer minds) Bakura thought, as much as sleep sounded good to the dark

spirit he didn't want to.

      Part of himself wanted to punish himself for eternity; he had failed to

bring Hikari back... he didn't deserve sleep.

      He quickly realized Bakura must have heard that thought.

      (Kage go to sleep, you don't need to punish yourself... failure isn't the

end) Bakura said, the ancient spirit sniffed.

      ((But I failed, I'll never have Hikari ever again)) he thought back, he

felt his light lean onto his mind and push... sleepiness overcame him.

      (Sleep, I miss Hikari too but you won't be able to do anything if you

fall over from exhaustion or cry yourself sick) Bakura pointed out, finally

Kage relented and felt himself fall into the void known as sleep.

      And dreamed of ancient Egypt and Hikari.

***

      Bakura sighed sadly and watched his dark half sleep; his dark half was

taking this whole thing very hard. Kage hadn't slept since he had first woken

up after defeat, but finally... his other half was resting.

      'Oh Kage, I wish it hadn't turned out this way. But there was no way of

knowing this would happen, and I feel the same way as you' he thought sadly,

it was at that moment the door to the room opened.

      "How is he?" a female voice asked softly, Bakura looked up and smiled

slightly. Standing there was blue haired Amy, the sailor senshi of Mercury.

Her blue eyes were filled with sadness; he could even see a depression in

them.

      He knew she felt terrible, she had failed the person she was suppose to

protect... he knew that by trying to bring Hikari's soul back she was trying to

make up for that fact.

      "Finally got him to rest," Bakura said softly, he smiled down at the

sleeping form of his darkness.

      "That's good, and you should sleep too," Amy said softly, Bakura nodded

and hid a yawn behind his left hand.

      "Good idea, I really need the sleep," Bakura said, Amy smiled.

      "Sleep tight," Amy whispered softly, then smiling she closed the door

leaving Bakura alone with his dark half.

      "Thanks," Bakura whispered even though he knew she wouldn't hear him,

then laying down beside Kage he fell quickly into a deep dreamless sleep.

***

      Amy sighed as she walked to the main room at the hotel, at the moment

she had it to herself... the rest of the group were being depressed in there

rooms.

      'Strange, I feel bad about not being able to get Hikari's soul back...

yet' Amy thought, she sat on the couch in the room and looked at the ceiling

silently.

      'But why did loosing feel so right, always as a scout I had to win the

battle for the good of everyone. I was the smart one always with a plan, even

though those plans hardly ever worked out like I thought they would' she

thought, she sighed... these thoughts were as difficult as asking the meaning of

life.

      'Yet this time it was different, this battle wasn't for any great cause.

It was a petty cause, one to make me feel better. But this plan didn't work

either, and yet... I feel better' she thought, she groaned feeling totally

confused.

      'I failed yet I don't feel terrible, I know that life will go on... and

this is my second time at life' she thought a bit sadly, she closed her eyes

and tears slipped down her slim heart shaped face.

      She remembered all too well her time as a dark senshi, better then the

other inner senshi. She remembered the glee she had felt killing and causing

harm, deaths embrace she had welcomed with open arms.

      She had never told the others this, death from that dark existence she

had welcomed... she hadn't wanted to come back. Then she had been called back as

herself, a sixteen year old again... yet her heart was still heavy with the

darkness she had been filled with.

      Yet her princess no longer existed when she had been brought back, she

felt terrible... terrible grief. What was her purpose now, then there was the

task to bring Hikari's soul back.

      She felt happiness, here was her chance to set things right... she could

get Hikari back. While the princess was gone she could still protect Hikari;

she could somehow be near her friend.

      Yet she had failed that task also, and she was so confused.

      "And why do I feel that loosing was right?" she asked herself confused.

***

      On the roof an emerald haired woman that defied time stood, a hair swung

in the wind like a gentle banner. Her crimson eyes were filled with grief,

grief that once again plagued her life.

      'Once again I have failed, what would Queen Serenity from the silver

millennium' she thought sadly, she sighed.

      "My Queen, I have failed you," she whispered to the long dead lunarian.

      "I have failed," she whispered.

***

      In another part of Odaiba two lunarian feline advisers feasted on fish,

er... I mean wallowed in guilt. As they chowed down, I mean cried they thought

things over.

      Things would never be the same for them, no more scout meetings, fur

pulling and annoying girls yacking their ears off.

      Why don't we just state the truth, they were enjoying themselves a lot...

grief could wait...

      For a very.. very... very long time...

***

      Raito meditated, for a humanoid fox creature it looked weird on. Even in

this state you could see his depressed state, his cute fox ears were even

dropping in depression.

      'Hikari is gone' he thought, tears slipped down his furry face.

      'Yet he will be reborn again, I will meet my friend again in his next

reincarnation' the kitsune thought, his grief lessoned.

      "I will wait for you my friend, for this life I will bother you no more

to be the one I know," he whispered, then with a smiled he vanished.

***

      In one of the other bedrooms Yugi was laying silently on a bed, his

beautiful purple eyes looked dully at the ceiling.

      "Why," he whispered, he couldn't understand why things ended this way.

      In all the games Yami and himself had won, but this time they hadn't... in

a way that battle had been a game... but they still had lost.

      "Why," he whispered one more time, closing his tear filled eyes he cried

himself to sleep.

***

      In his soul room, Yami huddled in a corner of darkness in some forgotten

corner.

      He had locked himself in here ever since they had lost that final

battle, what had happened in that light orb he didn't know... and Kage and

Bakura were not saying anything.

      Yami had not spoken since then, not even to his other half. He felt

depressed, also a bit angry.

      'I failed what now, there is no way for me to get near Hikari now. In

our dimension his body will soon die, there is nothing I can do about it now'

yami thought, he sighed.

      'Wait, there is always a chance Hikari will be reincarnated at the same

time as my next life' he thought, his whole body seemed to lighten.

      "There's still a chance, there is still a chance that next time I can be

with him," Yami whispered softly and he smiled; now all he could do was hope

and pray to his Egyptian gods.

      "Hikari, I'll wait for you," he promised, but the next life seemed so

far away... and he still felt the grief from this time.

      "Hikari..."

FH= I know, I know, really depressing. At least some of them aren't so bad,

anyway next chapter is the one some people have been waiting for or wanting to

avoid. TK tells Davis his feelings, how cute.

R.Calumon= FH will be going light on the yoai content, everything will be on

the cute level on the heavy level. This is light for people who don't like

male/male relationships, so don't be scared... FH will be nice.

FH= See you all next week.
